Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Back home, it was almost 10 oclock already, and Teacher Su just put him down and went home directly.
When he entered the house, it was quiet inside, with only Father Xu sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone. Did Mom kick him out because of the private money issue? Xu Lin thought, sitting beside him, ready to comfort his Dad.
But Xu Feng said, Xu Lin, you sleep on the couch tonight.
Huh? Why?
Qingchan and Ji Yun are resting in your room tonight.
Ji Yun didnt go home?
She said theres no one at home today, so your mom asked her to stay.
Okay, but why are you lying here?
Waiting for you to come back, Im going to sleep now, he said, getting up and heading to the bedroom.
Mom didnt ask you about the private money?
No, were fine. You just sleep here obediently, go on. With a smile, he disappeared into the room.
Xu Lin suddenly felt like a clown, originally planning to comfort him, but now Im the one sleeping on the couch. I feel like Im more familiar with the couch than the bed.
He stood up and knocked on his own bedroom door, Are you there? Both of you?
Xu Lin? Youre back? Need a blanket? The door immediately opened, and Chu Qingchan popped out her head. Xu Lin nodded and prepared to go in.

Little sister Ji fell asleep.
Still calling her little sister, so affectionate? Xu Lin smirked, feeling happy inside, You twelve zodiac sisters, you must stick together.
After all, my little sister isnt that cute, Chu Qingchan complained with a cold face.
Just judging from her appearance, shes quite adorable. But will she still be the same when were 30 or 40?
Maybe. Ill get you a blanket.
Just a thin one will do, on the second shelf of the wardrobe.
Dont worry, Im afraid youll catch another cold.
Im really healthy now, dont worry.
Okay, Ill get it for you. But hey, why cant I find the study materials on your computer, Xu Lin?
Oh god, why are you still thinking about study materials? I deleted them.
Im afraid youll encounter some strange experiences.
That wont happen, trust me.
Xu Lin returned to the living room with the blanket, grabbed some snacks, washed up, and finally lay down on the couch around 11 oclock.
Casually opening his phone, he saw that familiar pink app.
In 2013, it is still the era of long videos, but a few years later, the uncertain era of short videos and rapid data consumption arrived.
This is also an opportunity to make money, big money even, but he is still tight on funds. Money, you cant live without it, at least for eating and survival.
Being able to earn money while standing is already quite impressive. Many people cant achieve that.
He also had some recent goals in mind. Once his novel is published and he received royalties, he planned to become the general agent for Zhang Guofus spicy hot pot in Linshui.
This would alleviate the survival pressure for Bai Xiaoxiao and their family. He believes that with proven successful cases, he can surely succeed.
Next year, he plans to become the agent for Blue Orange Express delivery service. He can work behind the scenes, without needing to be personally involved. After all, next year is the final year of high school, and college entrance exams still need to be taken.
Education is one aspect that he aims to achieve from the beginning when he crossed over. Its his parents and grandparents dream, as well as fulfilling his dream of attending a good university that he couldnt achieve in his previous life.
Looking at even bigger goals, investing in Bilibili and short video platforms are promising ventures with relatively low entry costs at the moment.
As for singing and acting, he admits that hes not quite comfortable with them yet. However, writing songs helps him with his initial struggles, and for the time being, his ideas are sufficient.
Forget it, lets wait until the novel goes live in half a month, and then well see about the income. Theres no use thinking too much.
Putting down his phone, he casually opened the system and found that his points had increased significantly, reaching over 70,000.
Most of it was from the breakthroughs in favorability from Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi, the two sisters, surpassing 40 points. Of course, there were also increases from Liu Qinnuan and Ye Fanleng, surpassing 20 points.
Originally, he thought there would be many characters representing the 12 zodiac animals, but it seems that there are only 12 individuals according to the system.
Currently, there are still 5 characters yet to appear. Among those who have appeared are Su Qingwan, Ji Yun, Chu Qingchan, Bai Xiaoxiao, Chu Fengyi, Ye Fanleng, and Liu Qinnuan.
They correspond to the Horse, Ox, Snake, Pig, Rooster, Dog, and Rabbit. The ones yet to appear are Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Sheep, and Monkey.
I wonder what kind of people they are. Although I have my own ambitions, they all have their own lives, and I cant force them to be tied together with me.
Closing the favorability page, he opened the store. Although over 70,000 points seemed like a lot, it didnt seem like much when he looked at the prices of the three basic attributes.
His intelligence is over 6 points, and it now costs 20,000 points to increase it once, while his physique is already at 6 points and doesnt particularly need improvement.
With a charm of 8 points, it costs 200,000 points to increase it by one point, which is terrifying, but he can consider buying items refreshed weekly.
He decided to randomly upgrade one level 1 skill to level 2 for 5,000 points, and his cooking skill went from level 1 to level 2.
Hmm my cooking skill has increased. Wait, an increase in cooking skill might actually lead to making more money
He immediately opened his account on a humble little site. Although it is 2013, almost 2014, the traffic couldnt compare to those top video websites.
However, original self-media is slowly starting to grow. Perhaps he can solve his desire to do big things without much initial money from here.
Shooting food videos would be good, and he doesnt have to show his face, which is like having two identities. Not bad.
But he really hasnt started yet, and hes already thinking about making money. Lets try it out later.
He glanced at the second item, Inspiration, wondering about its usefulness but decided to skip it. The third item, Healing Bead, cost 10,000 points, and the last one, Swimming Level 2, also cost 10,000 points. He decided to buy the swimming skill to overcome his weakness as a poor swimmer.
But at the last moment he hesitated. How effective is this Healing Bead? Right now, both Bai Xiaoxiaos dad and mom are in the hospital.
If this thing works, not only will it save money, but it will also avoid the complications and pain that come with surgery. Trust the system this time!
After clicking purchase, a small green bead appeared in his inventory, which transformed into a glass marble-sized bead in his hand when clicked again.
It feels a bit cool to the touch, without any particular sensation. Lets see the effect?
He picked up the small scissors next to him, took a deep breath, and slowly brought them towards his finger, but at that moment. There was a sound from the bedroom door, and Xu Lin quickly put down the scissors and looked over.
Could it be a famous star coming over for a hug and a kiss? I seem to be daydreaming He muttered to himself, burying his head in the blanket, leaving a small hole to look out.
Then he saw a pair of fair legs with a small bruise above the knee, walking towards him step by step.
Wait is that class monitor Ji?
Coming to see me so late at night? I didnt expect you, this innocent-looking girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to also become mischievous~! But I like it!
