My skill tree increases every day.

Li Mai raised her head, her gaze passing over the crowd in the carriage and landing on Lin Yu on the other side.

Lin Yu failed to get a seat and was leaning against a corner of the carriage. He looked a little tired and was staring blankly out the window.

His profile was reflected in the dark car window, his features clearly defined, with a straight nose.

Li Mai gazed at Lin Yu's profile from afar, wanting to memorize that face.

Got you.

The subway continued its journey, stopping at each station. Arrival information and greetings echoed throughout the carriages as people boarded and alighted.

At the stop before getting off the train, Lin Yu finally found a chance to sit down.

After getting off the bus, Lin Yu said a brief goodbye to Li Mai and decided to have lunch at the cafeteria.

Although I ate two portions this morning, I'm actually quite hungry now that I've been busy all this time.

Lin Yu decided to eat a little more at lunch today.

It's almost 1 p.m. now, and unsurprisingly, there are hardly any people eating in the cafeteria.

Although there were hardly any people left, the cafeteria clearly wasn't willing to sell all the prepared food, nor could it keep it to sell into the evening. Rather than throwing it away as swill, they decided to offer more to those who arrived late without raising the price.

In this way, it indirectly benefits those who come to eat late.

Lin Yu's greedy DNA kicked in.

Therefore, even though the journey from the school gate to the cafeteria and then back to his residence was longer than the direct route from the school gate to Lin Yu's apartment, Lin Yu did not choose to simply grab something to eat for lunch on his way back to his small apartment.

He chose to walk a few more steps to the school cafeteria.

Qingzhou University of Technology has two canteens. One is divided into small areas and is entirely outsourced to individual merchants who rent storefronts. The other is operated by a catering group that is tendered internally by the university and bears the university's name.

Although this catering group is most likely owned by a close friend of a school leader.

Lin Yu came to this cafeteria with the school's sign.

Lin Yu ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, plus a serving of rice.

Lin Yu left the window carrying a plate containing one meat dish and one vegetable dish.

It was all worth it when I started planning back in my freshman year, specifically targeting the same cafeteria lady each time. I always smiled and spoke kindly, constantly using polite phrases like "please" and "thank you," and finally managed to get on her good side. Now, not only did she not toss the food in the ladle, but I could also get an extra half-scoop of food each time.

This time too, the aunt gave Lin Yu the two remaining half portions of food for free, and also gave him a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Lin Yu was indeed hungry. He took his plate and found a seat by the window. He didn't even bother to drink water and started eating with his chopsticks.

Lin Yu likes to take advantage of small things, but he never wastes food; he always finishes every single grain of rice in his bowl.

In a gust of wind, he ate every last bit of food off his plate, leaving not a single grain of rice.

Lin Yu drank the tomato and egg soup, sipped the soup, and sat down contentedly at the red plastic table and chairs in the cafeteria to rest.

He leaned back in his chair, let out a satisfied burp, and felt completely revitalized.

After sitting there scrolling through my phone for a while, I felt I had rested enough, so I went back to my rented room alone to continue the photo editing work that I hadn't finished yesterday.

After several hours of hard work, Lin Yu finally packed all the photos and sent them to Ruan Yunxian in the afternoon.

"Alipay payment received, 1,000 yuan."

Less than a minute later, Lin Yu's phone rang again.

There wasn't even enough time for her to accept the decompressed file, but Ruan Yunxian had already transferred the money.

This shows that she didn't even read the email's contents; she started transferring money to Lin Yu the moment she received it.

What defines a rich woman? This is what defines a rich woman!

Although Lin Yu was spiritually swayed by money, she still had to act like the tsundere heroine in hentai manga.

He made a few defiant remarks.

Lin Yu: That's too much, we don't need that many.

More, more, don't stop! Let it be filled with transfers from rich people!

Ruan Yunxian: This money is my recognition of your abilities, senior! If you think it's too much, you can help me take some private photos next time!

For Ruan Yunxian, this was just a little pocket money.

Lin Yu: I guarantee I'll be available whenever you call.

I'm only doing this for the money, and I would never wrong anyone...

Lin Yu was blinded by money.

If this were a comic, then a panel would appear next to Lin Yu, showing Lin Yu's brain being stuffed with gold.

The Alipay notification woke Liu Zhiyuan from his game.

"Damn! A thousand yuan! Brother Yu, you're rich now..."

Actually, it's three thousand yuan.

"It's alright." Lin Yu put down his phone.

"Not bad?" Liu Zhiyuan had a "you've got money" look on his face. "I do game boosting for people, and even in a good month I might not make a thousand. You go out hiking and have dinner with pretty girls and you can make a thousand. Is that not bad?"

Actually, it's three thousand.

"Look at what you're saying! What if people misunderstand? This is a technical job; I make a living with my skills. If you say things like that, people will think I'm selling my body for money!"

Lin Yu looked righteous and awe-inspiring, even though his mind was already filled with gold.

Liu Zhiyuan was greatly shocked.

"Next time there's a job like this, can you take me with you?" He immediately started fawning over her, "I'll carry your bags, just give me ten or twenty thousand."

"Then you might as well go to Myanmar to sell your organs. I've said it before, instead of letting your organs continue to suffer with you, it's better to let them go to rich people and live a good life for a couple of days."

"..."

Half an hour later, Liu Zhiyuan ate the takeout he had gotten from the rich man.

The only way to truly enjoy KFC is to buy it with 50 yuan that your brother somehow managed to get for you! The only downside is that today isn't Thursday.

……

On Monday morning, Lin Yu went to Wu Wanhang's class as usual.

He wasn't late today, and instead of arriving at the classroom right on time, he waited in the classroom five minutes early.

Lin Yu specifically chose a window seat in the fifth row.

He was somewhat familiar with Wu Wanhang, and sitting too far forward or too far back would make him vulnerable to being ambushed, so it was better to hide in the middle of the classroom.

As the saying goes, the greatest hermit lives in the city; the best way to hide someone is to hide them in a crowd.

Two minutes before class started, the classroom gradually filled up with people, but no one chose to sit with Lin Yu, including Lin Yu's roommate Liu Zhiyuan and two former roommates.

The reason is simple: Lin Yu and Wu Wanhang are somewhat familiar with each other.

Sitting around him could easily lead to being accidentally injured.

Lin Yu had anticipated this, but he didn't care. The classroom space was limited, and there would always be unlucky people who arrived late and had to come to this spot.

Lin Yu calmly took out his notebook and flipped through it, just in case Wu Wanhang caused any more trouble.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Lin Yu looked up and saw a pretty face that looked furtive.

It's you.

It really is you.
