Hate

When Zhang Mei Xing stubbornly held onto not using the Scene Overwrite Ticket, it was not her being a heartless guide. She merely realized this minor trouble was not actually that serious.

A brawl that did not really send anyone to the hospital? Was it really enough to warrant a Scenario Overwrite Ticket that would later cost Chen Fang his life merits?

Since she realized the answer to it, Zhang Mei Xing felt awkward for a few moments. '… I'm really a greenhorn.'

Not long after, she looked up wearing a frown. Still indignant about her lack of means to influence the examination actively without messing it up, she summoned the system. Before she went to this Test Word, there was one thing she had yet to do, check out the list of things she could exchange her reward with.

'Anyway, I won't be dying soon so I won't be needing these now. I'll see if there's anything exchangeable for a few merits.'

After a sigh, she stopped hesitating and purchased an item. The glance she then threw at her examinee became sharp. The guy was supposed to be unlucky since he got a guide reluctant to give him a 'cheat encounter', yet he was also not that unlucky since she was someone with a conscience.

"You fool. I hope you don't let me down after this." Zhang Mei Xing whispered as she activated a luck enhancement talisman, something that would still take effect in his actual next life.

…

The examinee entered his room and closed the door with a bang. He was still pissed. To be honest, for a moment the thought of strangling someone crossed his mind. For a moment too, he thought of raising a hand against a woman. But he wanted to stay a decent human being, so he held back and withdrew instead. When he closed his eyes and dove into the bed, there were tears that almost streamed down his face.

Thankfully, after a few minutes, the demon's whisperings within his brain stopped. It seemed it helped that he could no longer see those people who had ruined his previous life. His emotions stabilized and calmness returned to him. Or maybe he just felt like that since his mind went blank.

'I never knew I hated them that deeply until alcohol gets me…'

Hours passed since then. The sun had long risen from the east and was, in fact, halfway done with its planned travel for today.

Chen Fang stayed on campus. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was afraid of trouble. But he did not want to be expelled again. The headache brought about by the hangover made him want to just laze around, something he was not able to do for his last few months in the previous life.

Thankfully, Qin Li did not pursue the matter. Or maybe, that scumbag chose the same route as before, but just couldn't get him since he was cooping up in the dorm.

Now, he was alone in the place. He was the only one who went back to the dorms as the rest either visited their home or arranged a date with their girlfriends.

His brain was a cooperative one and remembered to forget about the unpleasant encounter last night.

Sitting before his old model laptop with crossed arms, Chen Fang pondered to himself. "I have quite the knowledge of the future. In situations like this, protagonists in novels and comics always turn to stock and movie investments. Should I copy them?"

The guide who had just come back from her lunch break turned to him when she heard that. As a guilty party who did what her examinee just said, she could not help but snort.

When Chen Fang spoke about reincarnators and returnees doing stocks, there was a scornful look on his face, as if the idea was just too old school. But wasn't he also considering that very same thing?

'This person seems to forget he has little to no money and were it not for the government assistance and his part-time job, he would have starved for years now. And he's even thinking of what? Movie investment?'

Who knew when this person would realize that he first start from the bottom to get to the top, to accumulate funds before he could do even the smallest type of investments?

Zhang Mei Xing ignored the guy and went out again. The man was left figuring out the best way to become a winner in life.

Anyway, she left since it was a bit awkward lingering in a men's room.

From the world that only contained her, she observed the people on campus. As it was the weekend, the majority were not here, dating in the park and nearby places.

She thought of the pair that her examinee encountered the previous night. Did the fragile second-rich gen end up staying the night in the hospital? How about the ex, Long Lingqing?

Speaking of that other girl, Zhang Mei Xing really had no idea what to say about her...
