Jinlin City, Lucheng Province.
As the national exams approached, final-year high school students focused on revising and studying. Even the rowdiest students fell silent and were seeking guidance from the teacher.
Everything was proceeding as it should be. But suddenly, a piece of unexpected news spread through every high school in the city, leaving students confused and dumbfounded.
The source of the commotion?
Qinghe No. 1 Private High School, where a student had transferred in during the final semester without any explanation!
No background. No good academic performance. No achievements.
Just a name—Lin Feng.
— "What the hell?! Who transfers schools at the last minute?"
— "Maybe he's here to repeat or hide something shady."
— "Wrong! I heard he didn't even want to transfer. Principal Yu forced him to!"
— "Huh? Why would Principal Yu do that? Is Lin Feng his secret lover's child or something?"
— "Don't spout nonsense! The real reason is that Lin Feng saved Principal Yu's granddaughter from an accident."
— "Tch. Even so, isn't this too much? He's from some no-name public school, has no money, and his grades aren't even good! There's no way Qinghe High's top students will accept him!"
The school forums exploded—jealousy, mockery, and suspicion flooding every thread.
…
Qinghe No. 1 Private High School, Class 3-A.
A beautiful young female teacher stood on the podium along with a seventeen-year-old boy beside her.
"You should already know this, but let me make it official—this is Lin Feng. From today onward, he will be your classmate," the head teacher, Qin Xiaoyu, announced with a stiff tone.
It was clear she wasn't pleased. A low-tier student from a public school dropped into her elite Class 3-A during the final semester.
She had every reason to be annoyed.
The fifty students in the classroom didn't hide their reactions either. Most were disdainful and annoyed. Especially the boys, whose eyes became filled with hostility as soon as they saw Lin Feng's face.
Despite the plain uniform, Lin Feng was strikingly handsome. His features were sharp, clean, and naturally cool.
Even standing quietly in a corner would attract attention as he possessed brown hair and blue eyes.
A few girls just couldn't help but whisper among themselves. As for the boys, the look of hostility said it all.
Seeing the reactions, Lin Feng could not help but smile wryly inside his heart. If not for the fact that his grandfather forced him, he would not come here at all.
"There is a seat prepared for you, so go sit there," Qin Xiaoyu instructed.
In response, Lin Feng nodded lightly and walked towards his own seat, which was at the end of the row.
The students inside the class were not happy, but no one dared to say anything because Principal Yu was known as a fierce tiger and would beat them if they tried to go against him.
"Open your science textbooks and answer the questions." Qin Xiaoyu did not waste time and started the revision. If someone did not understand, then she explained piece by piece.
'She is really good at teaching,' Lin Feng thought silently; however, his attention was not focused on her teaching or on her beauty, but on a holographic system panel that was in front of him.
[I'm Rich, I'm God System]
[Activation Progress: 5,000/10,000]
[Time remaining: 1 day 19 hours]
[Activation Condition: Spend 10,000 yuan in 3 days to activate the system. Failure to do so means erasing memories about the system and losing a great golden finger!]
…
'I need 5000 yuan more, but where do I get it?' Lin Feng thought with a troubled look.
Yesterday, a system window suddenly appeared in front of him. At first, he thought his brain was not working, but after spending a few yuan and seeing that no one could see this window, he understood this was real.
Immediately after that, he spent all of his money on this and even borrowed four thousand yuan from one of the family members. A pity that before he could ask for more, his grandfather found out about this and kicked his ass.
Then, knowing he might ask for money from others and Principal Yu, he called everyone and strictly stated not to give him any money.
'Ahh, how great it would be if these two old fogies did not know each other.' Lin Feng sighed to himself and started to think about how to acquire money.
Just like this, the class of the beautiful head teacher was over.
"Lin Feng." Qin Xiaoyu called with a cold tone.
Hearing her, Lin Feng glanced at the podium but said nothing and neither stood up.
Watching him like this, Qin Xiaoyu took a deep breath to calm her irritation.
"Find me at the teacher's staffroom after the school is over," she stated with a glare and without waiting for a reply, she strode out of the classroom.
Lin Feng said nothing and neither cared about her words. All he wanted was to get the money, but how? That was the question.
Just as he was thinking this, all of the class stared at him like he was an alien.
"Lin Feng!" Suddenly a handsome male student, still not as handsome as Lin Feng, shouted.
He was Zhao Ming, a second-generation rich and self-proclaimed class prince.
However, Lin Feng did not even bother to look at him and thought about what he should do to earn five thousand yuan in a day. The amount was really big for a student like him, and without the help from his family, it was impossible to get so much money in a short period of time.
"Lin Feng, did you not hear me!" Zhao Ming became furious as he saw him not responding.
But as usual, he still got ignored.
"Good! Just wait for the school to be over and I will show you who I am!" He threatened and sat down with an ugly look.
While hearing him, the whole class could not help but look at Lin Feng with pity. Zhao Ming was a well-known bully and had connections with some underground people.
Whenever he was upset or wanted to beat someone, he would ask those underground people to do it. This would not only avoid him from getting into trouble, but he would also be enjoying the treatment of a victim, as he could just lie that those underground people forced him.
Even Principal Yu and the other teachers were helpless at this because there was no proof of him beating someone personally. Not to mention his background was enough to get him out of trouble without any loss, so every student feared and did not dare to go against him.
But now, a transfer student without any background and money ignored him. How could Zhao Ming let it go? Lin Feng was bound to get beaten after school.
However, no one cared about this and focused on their studies. A low-level transfer student was not worth their time even if he was handsome.
Ring!
After a few more revision classes, it was now time for a lunch break. With how much the students were focusing on studying, they were all hungry and hurried away to the cafeteria. There were students who brought lunch from home, but there were not many since Qinghe No. 1 Private High School was filled with rich students who could eat inside the expensive cafeteria as much as they wanted.
Lin Feng was not in this group because he had spent almost all of his money on the system. He was supposed to receive some pocket money, but there was a long time for it and the amount was pitifully low.
'Looks like I really have to earn money myself,' he thought with a sigh and then, without any hesitation, he left the classroom along with his school bag.
Watching him like this, the students in the class were dumbfounded and wondered if he was scared of Zhao Ming, so he decided to skip the school.
Soon, the news about him leaving the classroom with a bag was posted on the forum. It even reached the head teacher, Qin Xiaoyu, and Principal Yu.
They both did not hesitate and alerted the security guards to stop him. But it was useless, as Lin Feng jumped over the high fence before anyone could even notice.
Just like this, he skipped the school on the day of his transfer.
…
"Hey, look—there's a new stall over there!"
"Huh? You're right… But why is it empty?"
"Check out the signboard. It says… 'For a hundred yuan, the boy will deliver a love letter; for three hundred yuan, he will break up a couple; for one thousand yuan, he will enter the only girl's club and bring some drinks!'"
"What the hell? Isn't he afraid of getting beaten up?"
"Look at how handsome he is so maybe he won't?"
The people inside the ancient market became shocked and dumbfounded as they witnessed the shameless stall set up by Lin Feng
