Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Nothing is more painful than seeing your ex doing better than yourself!

Chen Shuyuan felt a tightness in her chest.

Su Mingliang sneered and retorted, "Heh, you're just jealous. Didn't you see it's a new car with a temporary license plate?"

The rented car definitely won't have a new car with a temporary license plate.

Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan felt even worse after hearing these words.

Ye Chen is driving an A6 that's even better than theirs! Has this kid had some incredible luck lately? Or did he take out a loan to buy it?

"Hmph! You think Ye Chen has the money to buy a car? I know exactly how much money is in his bank account after all these years we've known each other. He's almost unable to pay the rent, so this must have been bought with a loan!" Chen Shuyuan sneered.

Su Mingliang shook his head, too lazy to pay any more attention to the two of them, and hailed a taxi to go straight to the airport.

Just then, Zhang Zihao's A4 pulled up, but he felt his cheeks burning, as if there was something terrifying in the car, and he hesitated to get in.

He secretly vowed to replace the A4 paper when he got back...

The gathering came to an end, and the other classmates gradually dispersed and left.

As for the Star Diamond Club that Zhang Zihao mentioned...

He hasn't mentioned it at all; the gathering has deviated from his original plan, and there's no need for any follow-up.

On A6, Jiang Gongjing and Ye Chen chatted all the way. The two teachers clearly had a much better impression of Ye Chen, so they had a very pleasant conversation.

Zhang Zihao's family is somewhat wealthy, but they are too ostentatious and disrespectful.

As a teacher, I wouldn't say anything out of consideration for my reputation, but I had some complaints in my heart.

Ye Chen was much more low-key, mature, and polite, making them feel relaxed and comfortable around him.

The road back wasn't congested, and the car arrived at the entrance of Binhai University in half an hour.

Ye Chen smiled and saw the two teachers off before having the driver take the car to a nearby hotel.

Although the designated driver was provided free of charge by Meiyuan International Hotel, Ye Chen still sent him a red envelope as a tip.

Ye Chen doesn't plan to go back to his rented apartment tonight; he'll stay at a hotel near Binhai University.

Why go to a rooftop rental apartment that's so hot and has nowhere to park? It's not worth the trouble!

The next day, Ye Chen got up at six o'clock. Although he no longer had to go to work like a beast of burden, he still needed to adjust his lifestyle.

Sleeping until 10 a.m. every day isn't good either.

Ye Chen hadn't been back to his alma mater for a long time. Stepping onto the campus again, his university days were still vivid in his mind.

However, things have changed.

The campus was still quiet at six o'clock.

Only a few students hurried away with their books, probably heading to the library to study.

Ye Chen ran two laps around the track, and then went to the canteen for breakfast.

Although it's only mid-August and school hasn't started yet, there are already quite a few students at the school.

At this moment, he was no different from these younger students.

At this moment, he is also a student, or perhaps in the eyes of others, he is a student.

Ye Chen was leisurely eating a fried dough stick when a melodious voice rang out: "Senior Ye?"

Ye Chen wondered why he could run into someone he knew just by going back to his alma mater for breakfast.

He turned his head and saw a graceful girl carrying a plate walking towards him.

Hmm? This looks familiar!

"Senior Ye, it really is you!" the girl said again, with a hint of joy in her voice.

Ye Chen then remembered that this was the junior student he had met at the buffet.

What was it called again?

Oh, I forgot, Chen... the name doesn't matter!

"Hello, Chen... junior!" Ye Chen smiled and nodded, not embarrassed at all for not being able to call her by name.

The girl carried her tray and sat down in the seat in front of Ye Chen.

"Senior Ye, my name is Chen Muyan, I'm a junior majoring in literature, oh wait, I'll be a senior soon!"

Chen Muyan smiled and corrected her.

"Hello! Why are you at school before the semester starts?" Ye Chen asked casually.

"It's so boring at home, I can at least read some books at school!" Chen Muyan picked up her soy milk and took a sip.

Ye Chen nodded and didn't say anything more.

Chen Muyan seemed to have figured out Ye Chen's personality a bit, and stopped chattering.

The two of them tacitly stopped talking and ate their own food.

Only after Ye Chen finished eating and stood up did Chen Muyan speak again: "Senior Ye, next month is the school's centennial celebration, will you be coming?"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Had a hundred years already? That's fast!

"If there's nothing urgent, they should come!" Ye Chen pondered.

"I heard that many senior students will be coming back, and many of them are now prominent figures in politics and business. This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with these big shots!" Chen Muyan said with a playful smile.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over and find someone to suck up to then. Maybe I can skip ten years of hard work!"

"Then come find me then. I'm one of the receptionists, and I have their information!" Chen Muyan revealed two shallow dimples.

"Okay, we'll see later!" Ye Chen waved his hand and left with his plate.

It's definitely worth coming back for the centennial celebration.

If Chen Muyan hadn't reminded him, he probably would have forgotten about this.

After leaving the cafeteria, Ye Chen wanted to go to the library to read some books and relive the beauty of campus life.

Unfortunately, I don't have a student ID, so I can't get in...

A student ID card shattered his passion for learning.

Ye Chen had no choice but to return to the hotel, play games for a while, and then order three takeout meals to start today's trading.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen selected three takeout meals and traded for three more pieces of gold.

"Ding—, the system has detected that the host has completed 10 transactions, triggering a hidden reward: one Marrow Cleansing Pill. Claim it now!"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. What the heck?

The trading system has hidden rewards?!

Ye Chen hurriedly opened the trading panel to check.

At this point, the cumulative number of transactions on the trading system panel has changed to 10.

Below that is a dark, circular pattern, along with a short text description.

【Xijin Fasui Dan】can cleanse the tendons and marrow, remove impurities from the body, repair hidden ailments, and improve physical fitness!

Ye Chen blinked, looking a little confused.

This trading system seems a bit unorthodox!

However, he still clicked the "Claim Now" button.

The next instant, a dark object appeared in his hand.

It looks like Wuji Baifeng Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

However, the smell was one that Ye Chen had never smelled before. It wasn't exactly foul, but it was just strange!

Ye Chen looked at the pill in his hand with some suspicion. Could this thing be eaten?

Could something bad have happened from eating it?

To be on the safe side, Ye Chen left the hotel and went directly to the emergency room of the nearby Second Hospital.

In case something goes wrong from eating it, it will make emergency treatment easier...
