TWWMABMTBH Chapter 20

System: What the hell is this?!

Rong Ziyan looked at the explanation.

Greetings from the Zu’an People: Skill type. Taunting max level. When facing plants and animals that are lazy and unwilling to grow properly, the host can give “loving encouragement” in time, allowing them to quickly rise up and break away from their salted fish existence.

When facing extreme people, the skill will activate at any time, causing them to lose their minds through taunting, and then easily defeat them. [Note: There are conditions and timings for use, which need to be explored]

System: Host, why do I feel like I don’t quite understand this skill explanation? What does “taunting to reduce intelligence” mean?

Rong Ziyan pondered for a moment, “I think it’s probably a skill like Zhuge Liang’s in the ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’.”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t he verbally abuse Wang Situ to death?”

System: Holy crap! Is it that brutal?

Rong Ziyan: Well… how about I try taunting that rich second generation?

System: Rong, wake up. You can verbally abuse that little fat sheep to death without using any skills.

After a long discussion between the person and the system, Rong Ziyan basically understood the meaning of this skill. Immediately afterward, he checked the exchange system, but found that it was empty, with only two things.

One was a salted duck egg recipe, and the other was salted fish. The price was marked at 200,000.

System: So expensive, has the Heavenly Path gone mad?

But what Rong Ziyan cared about was something else: Didn’t you say before that N-level pool items can be exchanged?

System: Ah! Right, holy crap, let me check why they’re not there.

Half a minute later, the system, having received the answer, began to doubt its system life.

“The only things that can be exchanged are the ones you’ve drawn before, so now there are only the salted duck egg recipe and salted fish. After all, you’ve only drawn these two things.”

Damn it! This is really no way to live.

Rong Ziyan comforted it, “It’s okay, let’s get rich by selling salted duck eggs.”

The system immediately became even more depressed.

But Rong Ziyan wasn’t just saying it as an empty promise; he really had related ideas in mind.

In fact, when he met that swindler in the village before, Rong Ziyan had already had some vague ideas.

Rong Ziyan had been in the village for a while, and he had found that the villagers’ duck farming was not very large-scale. However, there were still quite a few people raising them. And with more duck eggs and meat ducks, the surrounding counties and towns couldn’t consume so much. In the end, it was all consumed by the villagers themselves, and when carefully calculated, some families didn’t even earn enough money in a year to cover the cost of raising ducks.

So Rong Ziyan had always had a vague idea: could he collect duck eggs from the villagers and make them into easily preserved salted duck eggs, and then transport them out for sale?

But before, Rong Ziyan didn’t have a recipe, and he hadn’t experimented yet, so he didn’t know if the salted duck eggs made with the village’s duck egg recipe would taste the same as the ones provided by the Heavenly Path system.

And now, the opportunity had come.

Rong Ziyan planned to go back to the village, first buy a basket of duck eggs, and marinate them himself to try. If it worked, then the rest could be considered further.

With a plan in mind, Rong Ziyan went to the office again in the afternoon to say goodbye to his tutor, and then rushed back to the village.

Rong Ziyan’s trip was quick to come and quick to go.

At the same time, the Department of Veterinary Medicine also announced the list of those who had passed the school’s preliminary review and were planning to submit their papers to core journals on the campus network that afternoon.

It was also a coincidence that only two people from the Department of Veterinary Medicine passed, and they were in the same class and the same dormitory.

One was naturally Rong Ziyan, and the other was that rich second generation!

Rong Ziyan’s class group directly exploded.

“Holy crap! This is the legendary clash of immortals!”

“Hahahaha, the only two papers that passed are in our class, this is an honor!”

“Already screenshotted! In the future, I’ll be someone who can brag! My college classmates were able to publish core journal papers as undergraduates!”

The class group was bustling with excitement, everyone was excited about this. Even the usual small conflicts between each other were put aside, and everyone tagged Rong Ziyan and the rich second generation to congratulate them.

The rich second generation was at home right now.

After he stormed out of the cafeteria at noon, he immediately returned to his high-end apartment near the school.

Sitting on the sofa, he was really getting angrier the more he thought about it. Coupled with the fact that the hair on his head was looking thinner and thinner, he was getting so angry that his heart, liver, and lungs were about to explode. He wished he could just find someone to put a sack over Rong Ziyan’s head and get rid of him.

And then his family called him.

“What exactly are you doing? I’m annoyed!” The caller was the rich second generation’s eldest brother, and he sneered when he heard his impatient tone.

“Do you think I want to call you? The old man said, now that you’re out, you should be more careful. If you want to do academics, the family will support you. But if you make a fool of yourself again, then hurry up and go abroad, the family can’t afford to lose face!”

After speaking, the rich second generation’s eldest brother hung up the phone directly, angering him so much that he slammed his phone again.

“A bunch of petty people!”

In the rich second generation’s view, it was only because he had achieved a little something that those snobs in his family were treating him differently. After all, for businessmen, the academic circle not only represents sacred knowledge, but also the continuous flow of benefits behind it.

The rich second generation’s family started out with food processing, and they also had a lot to do with breeding. They wanted to use him as a stepping stone!

Heh, the coldness of human relationships was nothing more than this. His good elder brother’s attitude now was simply because he was not valued enough by the family, right?

Sooner or later, he would make all those who looked down on him regret it!

The rich second generation felt even more frustrated. Just then, the messages in the class penguin group caught his attention.

He clicked on it and saw that the news about him and Rong Ziyan’s papers being accepted had been announced. The people in the class group were exclaiming in admiration.

Looking at the praise from the people in the group, the rich second generation felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

If it were normal, he might not care. But who asked him to have lost so much face today!

It was also a coincidence that someone who had a good relationship with the tutor said, “Rong Ziyan’s paper seems to be very impressive. When I went to the office today, I even heard several tutors sighing in admiration.”

Staring at the three words “Rong Ziyan,” the rich second generation felt upset again.

He also had an idea, and he directly sent a picture over, and then withdrew it.

The Penguin group would give a notification about withdrawn messages. People’s curiosity was endless, so soon someone asked the rich second generation, “Young Master, what did you send?”

The rich second generation pretended, “Ah! Sorry, because the class group kept flashing, I sent it to the wrong place.”

The more he said this, the more everyone wanted to ask curiously. Especially since the picture that the rich second generation withdrew looked like the page of a thesis.

So, after being begged for a long time, the rich second generation finally revealed everything, “I was taking a screenshot for the tutor who recommended me, and I sent it to the wrong place.”

“Huh? Isn’t it a professor from our school?”

“No, it’s someone I found elsewhere. Didn’t I apply to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences? Coincidentally, there was a professor I know who thought I was quite agreeable, and now I’m helping out in his lab.”

The rich second generation spoke very modestly, but his words were full of boasting. Especially since the professor that the rich second generation had found was unexpectedly a true big shot in the academic circle.

Of course, everyone was clear that this big shot was taking the rich second generation as a graduate student because he had technical cooperation with the rich second generation’s family.

But even so, this was still a skill. The people in the group sent congratulatory messages one after another.

The rich second generation felt much better, and he sent a big red envelope.

“Let’s get rich together, for good luck.” The rich second generation felt pleased with the praise.

And with the students in the group claiming their red envelopes, a new round of praise began.

“Holy crap! The Young Master is giving out money!”

“Thank you, Boss.”

Rong Ziyan was on his way back, when he happened to see this scene in the group.

This rich second generation was doing it on purpose, sending out red envelopes according to the number of people in the class, clearly including a share for Rong Ziyan.

The system gnashed its teeth in hatred: This bastard is doing it on purpose to show you!

Rong Ziyan: Isn’t that great? A windfall.

Rong Ziyan happily claimed one. 0.1 yuan.

Rong Ziyan:…

Class group:…

Rong Ziyan immediately harvested a whopping 6,000 emotional points.

This rich second generation had sent out 5,000 yuan in red envelopes, and on average, even if you were unlucky, you should still get around 100. But Rong Ziyan actually got one dime?!

How unlucky could his hand possibly be?

The entire class was shocked by Rong Ziyan’s bad luck.

“Damn it, he really deserves it.” The rich second generation, sitting on the edge of the bed, couldn’t help but laugh out loud after seeing it. He opened the chat box and began typing, wanting to taunt Rong Ziyan.

But just then, a phone call interrupted him.

Looking at the caller ID, it was the loan shark calling.

“What’s the matter?” The rich second generation’s tone was brisk.

But the loan shark was about to cry, “Young Master, please control that classmate of yours. He’s really going too far now, he actually only paid back one dime this time!”

One dime? Why did this number sound so familiar?

The rich second generation felt that something was wrong, so he logged into the loan shark’s Alipay account to check the transfer records.

From the bottom up, there were suffocating amounts of three yuan, three yuan, three yuan, three yuan…

As for the line at the top, it clearly stated a transfer of one dime from Rong Ziyan.

And looking at the time, wasn’t this the time when Rong Ziyan had claimed the red envelope?

So, he was using his money to pay back the debt he owed? Rong Ziyan was truly a logical genius.

The rich second generation was furious and couldn’t help but want to explode at Rong Ziyan in the group.

But when he opened the group again, he found that Rong Ziyan was explaining the differences between their papers to the classmates.

“I glanced at the Young Master’s topic in the office, although it’s completely different from mine, it is indeed very impressive.”

Completely different? No, they should be the same topic! The rich second generation’s heart thumped.

Obviously, there were also people in the group who were curious and asked Rong Ziyan. Because they remembered that the rich second generation and Rong Ziyan’s topics were both related to poultry infectious diseases.

Rong Ziyan explained carefully to them, “The differences are big; virus research and feed disease prevention are two different areas.”

“Speaking of which, I am very grateful to him. Fortunately, they were different, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome. After all, my knowledge is still very basic.”

Everyone:…

Rich second generation:!!!

He had really blown up. He had spent a lot of money before just to create obstacles for Rong Ziyan in the paper aspect, to cut off his hope of returning to school based on research results.

But he had never imagined that even though they were both about poultry infectious diseases, the directions were actually not the same. So all his efforts were in vain?

The rich second generation felt his vision go black, and he couldn’t catch his breath for a long time.

And Rong Ziyan on the other end also successfully harvested 100,000 gold coins. He couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, the rich second generation was indeed his best lamb.

After losing 600,000 just now, he immediately made up 100,000. The system was itching to urge Rong Ziyan to splurge a bit.

“Host, don’t worry. After the upgrade, a ten-pull is guaranteed, and you’ll definitely get an R-level item.”

Rong Ziyan nodded, and he was also very curious about the final changes after the system upgrade. He decisively said, “Draw!”

The turntable spun rapidly, and who knew if Rong Ziyan’s luck had changed today.

From the start of the spinning, the turntable had been flashing blue light. When it stopped, ten identical items appeared neatly in front of Rong Ziyan, all R-level, but their shapes were too familiar.

Smooth white skin, with a round shape.
