Chapter 4: I want to make money
The first month of school was military training, and the students were tortured by the instructors. Many of the students who were weak in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even lay in the hospital. Of course, only those who really stick to it will understand that military training turns out to be so much fun.
Due to the exhaustion of being trained every day, Wang Xiaofan didn't have much heart to go out to play. Besides, the fun places near Jiangda have long been played by Wang Xiaofan. His roommate was in good spirits and wanted to go for a walk on the beach at night.
Staying in the dormitory, Wang Xiaofan's only fun was to text and chat with Yang Chan.
Although the world is still in 2009, the Internet is much more developed than in previous lives. The bandwidth of 100 megabits is a thing of the past, and the minimum bandwidth provided by the three major operators is now 1 gigabit, and the average download speed can reach 130MB per second. The development of the Internet has also brought people all over the world together.
Huaxia's Jiulang is the world's largest social network, with 5 billion registered users, but the most popular chat software and the most popular music, video and website in China are all owned by Penguin.
In the case of such a developed network, Wang Xiaofan and Yang Chan still use the straight button mobile phone from several years ago. This surprised both roommates.
Needless to say, although Yang Chan lives in the city, her family conditions are not better than those rural people who make a living from farming. She is quite satisfied with this mobile phone. Wang Xiaofan's family conditions are much better than Yang Chan's, but he doesn't want to ask for the most popular large-screen smartphone on the market like in his previous life.
Unless it is necessary or he makes money himself, Wang Xiaofan will never buy a new mobile phone.
The days went by like this, and the friendship between Yang Chan and Wang Xiaofan gradually deepened, and the two became friends who talked about everything.
On the second day after the end of the military training, Wang Xiaofan called home as usual. This is a habit he developed after being reborn, because the moment he was hit by a car, he couldn't let go of his parents.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaofan's father chatted with him for a while, which made him smell a trace of unusual taste.
"Dad, is there something wrong at home?" Wang Xiaofan asked.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the royal father's voice continued to ring: "No...... Not...... Nothing happened. ”
"Something must have happened, you stutter every time you lie! Tell me what's going on! ”
No matter how Wang Xiaofan asked, the royal father just refused to say.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaofan vaguely remembered that his relatives in the previous life seemed to have mentioned that his mother had suffered from a serious illness. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaofan's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"It's my mom who's sick, isn't she?"
The other end of the phone was stunned for a while, and then surprised: "How do you know?" ”
And so it was! No wonder Wang Xiaofan came home after the first half of his freshman year, but found that the big house of more than 100 square meters where his family lived was gone, and he could only squeeze in an old yard with no heating and air conditioning with his grandfather. His family's house must have been sold by his father to pay his mother's medical bills. Moreover, this money is certainly not enough. Wang Xiaofan remembers that after his mother moved, she would say that she had a terrible headache almost every once in a while, and sometimes she would even be so painful that she couldn't sleep all night.
But as soon as Wang Xiaofan asked her what was wrong, her mother couldn't help but smile and said that it was okay, and apologized that she disturbed him to sleep. At this time, Wang Xiaofan realized that it must be that the disease was not completely cured, leaving sequelae.
At this time, Wang Xiaofan's eyes were red, he remembered that in his previous life, he was still begging his father for money to buy a mobile phone at this time, and his father taught him a lesson for this, and he didn't give him money. A few days later, his mother secretly sent him money to buy a mobile phone, and told him to study hard after having a mobile phone. Now that I think about it, I actually used my mother's life-saving money to buy a mobile phone! What an unfilial piety!
"Dad, you take good care of Mom, I'll find a way to deal with money."
Regardless of the royal father's reaction, Wang Xiaofan hung up the phone directly.
At this time, although he was calm on the surface, he had already set off a stormy wave in his heart.
"I want to make money! I'm going to cure my mother's illness once and for all! I want my parents to have a good life! ”
At this moment, the system, which had not moved for a long time, finally spoke again:
"Mission posted: Earn two million dollars in one month."
"Task reward: a skill book reinforced iron bone (beginner level), 100 star points."
"Task Punishment: If you do not complete the task within the time limit, all memories of the host about the system will be erased, and the system will find another host."
Wang Xiaofan couldn't help frowning a little after hearing this.
There are a lot of resources available, but there are really few works that can actually make that much money in a month. Now his mind is very messy, and it is really not suitable to think about these things, Wang Xiaofan decided to eat first and then talk after eating.
I haven't seen Yang Chan for a long time, and Wang Xiaofan, who has no friends of the opposite sex, still misses her, so he invited her to eat in the cafeteria together.
Of course Yang Chan was very happy, she had long wanted to meet Wang Xiaofan, but for the sake of face, she didn't take the initiative to invite.
During the meal, Yang Chan keenly noticed that Wang Xiaofan seemed to be very unhappy.
"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? Yang Chan asked with concern.
After texting and chatting with Yang Chan for so long, Wang Xiaofan and her are already good friends who don't talk about anything, and it is really uncomfortable to hold back his mother's illness in his heart, so he told Yang Chan 1510.
"That'...... How much does that cost? Yang Chan asked anxiously.
She was born in a single-parent family, and her mother died after giving birth, and Yang Chan was full of guilt for her mother. She thinks that the greatest person in the world is her mother.
"A lot, that's all I can say. I'll figure it out, though. Wang Xiaofan didn't care about the strange brilliance that flashed in Yang Chan's eyes, but just said firmly.
"Well, don't worry, Aunt Ji has her own natural appearance, she will definitely be fine."
"With me here, I won't let my mother suffer a little more!"
After eating, Wang Xiaofan, who had calmed down, really had a much clearer mind.
Thinking about it, there are only two ways that he can make money now.
One is to write and earn manuscript fees.
The second is to write songs, upload them to the Internet, and make money by downloading them.
Now that the method has been clarified, Wang Xiaofan didn't want to wait any longer, he borrowed a notebook from his roommate, created a new word document, and when he renamed it, he took a deep breath, and then forcefully knocked down four Song characters:
Fight! Break! Cang! Arched!
At the same time, when Yang Chan returned to the dormitory, she dialed the donburi window on the fourth floor of Seven Meals that was recruiting. Originally, she was as shy as Yang Chan, and if she didn't have to, she wouldn't even want to go out of the dormitory door. Because she really didn't want people to see her face. But seeing Wang Xiaofan's unhappy appearance, she was also very uncomfortable.
This is the only friend of the opposite sex she has had since she was born, and she is also the kindest and most upright person she thinks. Since Wang Xiaofan is worried about money, then she will work hard to make money! Even if it is a drop in the bucket, Yang Chan feels that it is better than not doing anything.
The owner of the rice bowl quickly agreed to hire the hard-working little girl. Working in the back kitchen, he doesn't look at his face, as long as he is diligent, that's fine.
Due to the large number of college students, the cost of work-study is naturally low. The price agreed by the boss and Yang Chan is 10 yuan per hour, two meals a day, and you can not come at night.
Since the salary is calculated by the hour, how can Yang Chan not go at night?
In the summer, students eat late, and some have classes in the evening, and they come to make up for a late night snack after class. In the month that Wang Xiaofan coded, Yang Chan was busy every day until the lights in the dormitory were about to go out at night, so she hurriedly went back to wash and sleep. Every time she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep in less than three seconds. Because I'm so tired.
In the morning, Yang Chan didn't eat breakfast anymore. She lied to her roommate that it was to lose weight, but in fact, she just wanted to save the two yuan for Wang Xiaofan. Girls love to be clean, especially in the summer, and they have to take a bath every day. There is a bathhouse downstairs, and it is not expensive, one yuan at a time. In order to save this yuan, Yang Chan even took a shower in the dormitory.
Fortunately, it's summer, Yang Chan picked up some cold water, rinsed in the bathroom, and hit the soap to deal with it. This month, Yang Chan only spent more than a dozen yuan on the necessary expenses. The meals were all eaten at the window, the baths were all washed in the dormitory, and even she was so busy that there were not many students who had to eat even when she texted and chatted with Wang Xiaofan.
Many times, her roommates couldn't stand Yang Chan's desperate appearance, and persuaded her to forget it, stop doing it, anyway, if you earn so much money, you can't help much. But Yang Chan said: "It's one thing to be able to help, but it's another thing whether I can help or not." ”
Yang Chan worked so hard, what about Wang Xiaofan?
