Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

At 6:30 p.m., military training ended.

The setting sun bathed the entire dormitory building in a warm red glow, and the corridors were crowded with freshmen dragging their weary bodies back home.

The torment of being exposed to the scorching sun all day and standing at attention until one's legs go numb completely drained everyone's energy. All that could be heard were cries of pain and complaints, a testament to the exhaustion and breakdown of the military trainees.

Inside dormitory 219, Wang Hao, Lin Zhe, and Zhao Peng pushed open the door and immediately collapsed onto the bed, too exhausted to even lift their hands to wipe away their sweat.

The three of them had sunburned bright red skin, felt sticky and sore all over, and had dry and hoarse throats. They were so tired that they didn't even bother to get up for dinner. Instead, they lay in bed and ranted about this damned military training.

Zhang Yifan, however, has a style that is completely out of place.

He had already showered, looking refreshed and clean, his hair dried, and he sat at his desk scrolling through his phone, showing no signs of fatigue from his travels.

On one hand, they are exhausted to the point of paralysis; on the other hand, they are lying down leisurely.

The stark contrast made the three of them envious.

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Wang Hao turned over, the playfulness on his face fading, replaced by a more serious expression.

Looking at the relaxed Zhang Yifan, he earnestly reminded him, "Yifan, to be serious, although you have special permission from the school to avoid military training, you really shouldn't be too careless."

Lin Zhe also sat up, his expression solemn: "That's right, today Luo Le publicly committed suicide on the playground and was ridiculed by the whole school. He lost face completely."

A man of his power and influence, who is extremely concerned with his image, would never let this go so easily.

Zhao Peng echoed, his tone full of worry: "It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!"

"He can't control you with the rules of military training, but he's a high-ranking member of the student union, he has access to resources within the circle, and he has a powerful background to back him up."

In subsequent class committee elections, performance evaluations, credit verification, and access to campus resources, he can easily find some underhanded tactics to sabotage or make things difficult for you.

The three of them spoke one after another, without any intention of stirring up trouble or watching the spectacle; their words were all sincere advice.

As roommates who spend every day together, they sincerely admired Zhang Yifan's abilities and genuinely didn't want to see him suffer a loss due to carelessness, being secretly targeted by malicious people.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan raised his eyes slightly, a calm smile playing on his lips, his tone relaxed yet confident.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

A few words, calm yet full of confidence.

In his eyes, Basil's petty tricks within the campus circle were really not respectable and wouldn't cause any trouble.

But just as he finished speaking...

【Ding--】

The system notification suddenly rang in Zhang Yifan's mind.

[Host's deep-seated hostility towards a key figure detected, unlocking a hidden life storyline!]

[Target Person: Basil]

[Unlocking the Character's Deeper Background:]

[Since his university days, Basil has been obsessively pursuing Shen Zhiyi, possessing an extremely strong possessive streak and regarding her as his personal possession.]

[This individual has a strong background; his father is the CEO of the Chrysanthemum Group. He possesses exceptional business acumen, started his own business during university, and his subsequent companies were integrated into the core system of the Chrysanthemum Group. He has become a recognized role model for outstanding students and a young business elite across all graduating classes at Tsinghua University.]

[Tracing the Past Timeline]

[In the early stages of Shen Zhiyi's business, Luo Le, driven by unrequited love, became obsessed and jealous. He repeatedly sabotaged Shen Zhiyi's venture by using capital, connections, and resources to maliciously intercept projects, block channels, and create public opinion obstacles, causing significant disruption to Shen Zhiyi's entrepreneurial endeavors.]

[Only after Shen Zhiyi achieved legendary status in the business world and firmly established herself did Luo Le cease his overt suppression tactics, but his obsession never faded.]

His life motto is: If he can't have it, no one else can.

For years, Basil secretly intimidated and pressured all men who approached or pursued Shen Zhiyi, effectively isolating her from most unwanted romantic advances.

[Now that the host has successfully fallen in love with Shen Zhiyi, breaking her long-held obsession and desire for control, she has triggered her greatest animosity ever, and will target the host at any cost!]

[Triggered an epic quest: Strike first, strike hard]

[Mission Requirements: Acquire Basil's startup company, completely control its business empire, and reduce it to a subordinate, a hardworking employee!]

[Task Difficulty: Extremely Difficult]

[Explanation: Basil was deeply integrated into the core system of Chrysanthemum Group in its later stages, backed by top-tier capital. The acquisition was not simply a matter of financial resources, leaving no loopholes for exploitation.]

[The system kindly advises: Host, please hone your skills steadily and practically, expand your business empire, accumulate core capital and connections, and forge an absolute strength sufficient to crush your competitors.]

[Ultimate reward for successful mission: 2 Longevity Cards (can be freely selected to grant the target lifelong health and long life)]

A series of dense system notifications, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly filled Zhang Yifan's mind.

The noise in the dormitory, the advice from roommates, and the commotion outside the window seemed to be instantly shut out at this moment.

Zhang Yifan, who had been calm and composed, suddenly widened his eyes and froze on the spot.

What's absurd is that he completely ignored the system's claims about "extremely difficult tasks," "suppression by top-tier capital," "Basil's lifelong targeting," and "business deadlock"—crises that could make countless people's scalps tingle.

His entire attention was fixed on the last line of rewards.

A longevity card?

Can you also freely choose the target to use?

At this moment, all the business games, the threats from rivals, and the campus disputes became insignificant in Zhang Yifan's eyes.

The words spoken when the system was first bound to him flashed through his mind.

In a parallel universe, his parents worked hard for many years, which led to their illnesses and ultimately caused them to die young from overwork, leaving them with lifelong regrets.

Even though he defied fate and rewrote his own life trajectory, his family's fate also quietly changed, and his parents' lives were completely transformed.

But the variables of fate are always present, and no one can guarantee that the future will be without any twists and turns.

But this longevity card can directly guarantee a long and healthy life!

Two cards, freely choose who to use them on.

Isn't this the way to ensure that your parents live a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster, and enjoy their remaining years in peace?

In an instant, Zhang Yifan felt only burning excitement, and his sense of crisis was completely thrown to the winds.

Basil, chrysanthemum groups, commercial suppression, and campus targeting—all of them should step aside.

If I can exchange this for my parents' health and longevity, this mission is a huge win!

After standing there stunned for several seconds, Zhang Yifan forced down the excitement in his heart, slowly turned around, and reviewed all the plot information revealed by the system.

The more he reviewed the incident, the more outrageous it seemed, and he couldn't help but silently complain to himself.

So, this Luo Le, who is always targeting her, petty, and vengeful, has been fixated on Shen Zhiyi since college and has been obsessed with her his whole life?

What's even more outrageous is that his self-righteous, selfish, and domineering possessiveness actually became Shen Zhiyi's "top-level protective barrier".

Over the years, all the unwanted suitors who dared to harass or pursue Shen Zhiyi were secretly threatened and pressured away by him.

Even though his motives were distorted, his methods were extreme, and he was extremely selfish, objectively speaking, he did help Shen Zhiyi avoid countless unnecessary troubles and harassment.

Zhang Yifan was both amused and exasperated.

Good grief, is this some kind of perverted way of protecting a flower?

So, shouldn't I indirectly thank him for clearing away the potential for a lifetime of unwanted romantic advances for me?

Immediately afterwards, he accurately spotted the most outrageous bug in the system task.

The system repeatedly emphasizes the crisis, stating that the mission is extremely difficult. It claims that Basil Company, having been merged into Chrysanthemum Group and backed by top-tier capital, is financially unshakeable and impossible to acquire.

But the key point is... that's a story set fifty years in the future!

What time is it now?

This is only the first day of university military training!

All Basil has right now is a little bit of power within the student council and a powerful father; he has nothing else!

His startup company is still in its infancy, his business empire is nowhere to be seen, and he hasn't even been affiliated with the core system of the Chrysanthemum Group yet!

Using his peak condition fifty years from now to determine the difficulty of the current task is a classic case of time-space cheating and mechanical judgment!

Once he understood this, Zhang Yifan was instantly relieved, and a playful smile even flashed in his eyes.

Extremely difficult?

That applies to ordinary people.

It's no big deal for him.

The next second, Zhang Yifan had a sudden thought and directly accessed the "Fifty Years of Successful Enterprise Experience Database" stored in the system.

He quickly searched for information on basil's entrepreneurial experience.

Since you intend to use capital to intimidate people, leverage your social circles, and use your obsession to cause me trouble in the future.

Then I'll nip all your future potential in the bud.

Basil? Chrysanthemum Group?

I'm sorry, but in the future I foresaw, I knew exactly what your plans were!
