I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 136 Master Chen, the Man of Justice
As we all know, most people share a common hobby—watching a spectacle.

As a result, not long after Shen Shulan stopped her car, a number of passersby gathered around, and even some people on electric scooters stopped there, determined to watch the drama unfold.

As for who to support, these passersby also had no definite idea.

These days, staged accidents are nothing new, so not many people would immediately side with the old lady.

But Shen Shulan was driving a luxury car worth over a million today, so she was not at a disadvantage in terms of either wealth or age...

Many people harbor some resentment towards the wealthy, and when they see something, they instinctively tend to side with the weaker party.

As a result, apart from a few passersby who had previously witnessed the elderly man faking an accident, everyone else was swaying back and forth, excitedly waiting for the plot to unfold.

……

Looking at the crowds on the roadside, Shen Shulan took a deep breath and pondered a solution.

In twenty minutes, school would be over, and she really didn't want to be held up here; but if she were to pay this shameless old woman in front of her, she would feel disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

For her, 50,000 yuan wasn't much money, but she didn't want to suffer such a loss...

Shen Shulan knew that the other party was clearly trying to extort money from her, and no amount of negotiation would yield any results. Therefore, she only had two options left.

Call the police, or give them money.

But neither of the remaining two options suited her tastes either. Calling the police would take too long; by the time things were over, it might not be until 11 p.m.

That just means losing money...

Just as Shen Shulan was about to speak, she suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the crowd.

"I have the entire video here."

As soon as the words were spoken, Shen Shulan, the old lady, and a group of passersby all looked toward the source of the sound.

The speaker was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old and a student. He was holding a video camera and said loudly, "I was just filming here and I captured the whole process. This old man was faking an accident."

When Shen Shulan saw who she was talking to, she was also taken aback, and a sense of coincidence immediately arose in her heart.

Although she didn't know Chen Yan's name, Shen Shulan still had a certain impression of the boy who had cooperated with her in shaking hands during a lecture at school four days ago.

On the one hand, Chen Yan's appearance was too outstanding; good-looking people always leave a deeper impression. On the other hand, the comfortable yet slightly stimulating feeling when they shook hands also left a deep impression on Shen Shulan.

Before she could speak, Chen Yan strode forward, handed her the camera, and said, "Teacher Shen, what a coincidence! I was filming a video outside the school today and I didn't expect to run into you."

"It's quite a coincidence. If it really is evidence, then we really owe you a lot today." Shen Shulan thanked him while taking the camera and, with Chen Yan's help, found the video from earlier.

The video begins with a red light at an intersection. Under Chen Yan's direction, Shen Shulan pulls forward for about two minutes before the main event finally begins.

The video clearly shows that after Shen Shulan drove through the traffic light, when she was about ten meters away from the old lady, the woman suddenly walked out from the inside and stood straight in the direction the car was going.

At the same time, when the car stopped, even though there was still more than a meter between them, the old lady hesitated for a second or two before falling down in a very exaggerated manner.

Anyone with eyes can see that this old lady is faking an accident after watching this video.

Seeing that Shen Shulan's expression was becoming increasingly clear, the old lady had a bad feeling in her heart, so she stood up unsteadily and reached out to grab the camera.

"Isn't there evidence? What kind of evidence do you two have? Show it to everyone."

However, Shen Shulan reacted a beat faster, quickly retreating to avoid the old lady's movement.

"Fine, call the police." Shen Shulan looked at the old lady and said coldly, "Old lady, you're not even seventy years old yet. If it's proven that you're faking an accident, you'll at least be detained for a few days."

The old lady's expression froze for a moment, and she was about to say something when someone in the crowd, perhaps recognizing her, mocked, "Oh, Old Lady Li, trying to scam me again? I remember your son just got you out of the police station a while ago, right? You're not going to go back in, are you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just startled and fell down. You're all making it sound like I'm faking an accident. How can you people have such malicious thoughts?" Old Mrs. Li muttered incoherently, then turned and walked towards the less crowded area.

Shen Shulan didn't intend to go all the way. On one hand, she knew that even if she investigated further, it would be difficult to get any results; on the other hand, school was about to let out, and she really didn't want to waste any more time.

"Thank you so much, classmate." Shen Shulan took out her phone and said, "I have some things to do today, let's add each other's contact information first, and I'll thank you properly later."

"Oh, no need for that. I was taking pictures outside today and just happened to capture it. It was nothing."

"Let's add each other's contact information first." Shen Shulan showed her QR code and said, "Scan me."

This time, Chen Yan did not refuse and took out his phone to scan the code.

After adding each other as friends, Shen Shulan checked the time and realized she was running out of time. While opening her phone's contacts, she said, "I'm going now. Thank you so much for today."

"It's nothing..." After ending the conversation, Shen Shulan made a phone call while getting into the car and then drove off.

"Preventing an elderly person from staging an accident to extort money, one more good deed for today." Chen Yan opened the electronic wooden fish on his phone, tapped it, and felt incredibly righteous.

If everyone could be as positive as him, I wonder how wonderful society would be.

……

When Shen Shulan arrived at the school gate, most of the day students had already left, leaving only a few people waiting for various reasons.

Shen Shulan also spotted her target in the crowd at a glance.

"Here," Shen Shulan called out first, then got out of the car and walked quickly toward her target.

……

the other side.

After finishing all that, Chen Yan opened his phone and checked the time; it was already past ten o'clock.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yan decided not to rush home. After considering the distance, he headed towards his [Star] bar.

The bar wasn't far from here, and Chen Yan himself hadn't been there much before, so he took the opportunity to go check it out and see how much customers it was.

……

The bar is less than three kilometers away from where Chen Yan is currently, which would take about thirty minutes to walk there.

Although Chen Yan had anticipated from the beginning that the bar's occupancy rate wouldn't be too low due to the special prop "Lucky Cat" and his trendy bar strategy, the occupancy rate still far exceeded his expectations when he actually entered the bar.

There are a total of sixty seats, including the basic booths and the seats around the dance floor. Chen Yan glanced around and saw that there were only a little over ten empty seats.

Nearly 80% occupancy rate!
Generally speaking, a bar only needs 30% occupancy to operate normally, as for 80% occupancy...

This is quite an outstanding achievement.

Chen Yan was quite satisfied with this, and was about to go to the bar to order a drink when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye as he passed the basic booths.

Qi Li was sitting alone, drinking beer with a bitter expression, clearly trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

【Hengxing】Bar's prices aren't high, which is why it attracts many students... But to be honest, Chen Yan never expected Qi Li to become one of his customers.

It wasn't that he looked down on Qi Li, but bars are places where, as anyone who knows, you can easily spend several hundred yuan on just a few drinks. Chen Yan really didn't think Qi Li, whose monthly living expenses were only around a thousand yuan, would come here to spend money.

Just as Chen Yan was stunned, Qi Li also noticed his presence.

"Brother Yan." He rubbed his eyes, looked at the figure in front of him, and murmured in disbelief, "Brother Yan, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Chen Yan down to sit, but just as his hand was about to touch Chen Yan, he suddenly pulled it back as if he had been electrocuted.

Seeing Qi Li's appearance, Chen Yan didn't say anything, but simply sat down opposite him and asked, "Why are you suddenly drinking here?"

Qi Li's face was flushed red, clearly half-drunk. When Chen Yan asked him that question, all the words that had been piling up in his heart came out instantly.

"Brother Yan, I miss home. I want to go back to my hometown. Pan Yang looks down on me, and he even spent money to treat everyone in class, which made me isolated by the whole class. Now there are hardly any people in the class who are willing to talk to me."

Chen Yan was not surprised by this. He had already sensed it before, but he didn't say anything and just listened quietly to Qi Li's words.

People who drown their sorrows in alcohol sometimes just need a listener.

"Then, I didn't have any money. The prices here are too high, and my monthly living expenses are not enough. I didn't dare to ask my family for money, so I could only skip classes to work outside."

“If you’re short on money, don’t come to these kinds of events. It’s just a waste of your money.” Although he always believed in “respecting other people’s fate,” Chen Yan still offered a word of advice, saying, “If you’re really unhappy, just buy two bottles of beer. They’re all the same.”

At this point, Qi Li chuckled.

"I... I made money... Pan Yang used to post on his WeChat Moments every day about how you could make money from those Easter eggs, so I looked into it and bought three. After seven days, I sold them immediately and made over four thousand yuan."

Chen Yan: ┗|｀O′|┛

Chen Yan suddenly felt a bit tense. Pan Yang, who kept shouting that he could make money, suffered a huge loss in this "Easter egg" incident, while Qi Li, who knew nothing about it, made a fortune.

Is this a case of fools having good fortune?
