"Xu Lin, what have you been up to lately?"
Yu Xinyan asked again.
"Writing."
Xu Lin sent the latest payment screenshot to the other party.
"Wow! You made another 180,000?"
Yu Xinyan was very surprised.
Xu Lin: "Impressive, right?"
"Impressive!"
Yu Xinyan was happy for Xu Lin's earnings and proud of him.
Young love is the purest, without any impurities.
At least, Yu Xinyan's feelings for Xu Lin were like this.
Yu Xinyan shared the screenshot Xu Lin sent in their family group chat.
This small group only had her, Yu Jianhua, and Lin Yajing.
Yu Xinyan said: "Mom and Dad, Xu Lin made another 180,000, he's super impressive!"
"He made another 180,000?"
"How can he earn so much?"
Yu Jianhua and Lin Yajing were both unsettled. Previously, when Xu Lin had made just about 50,000, the old couple didn't think it was a big deal, but now that Xu Lin made another 180,000, they were a bit shaken.
It's not that 180,000 is an astronomical number, but they thought Xu Lin's ability to earn money was strong.
At eighteen years old, plus the previous 50,000, he had made 230,000 this month. People outside with a monthly salary of 20,000 work all year round and only make that much.
Yu Xinyan: "I told you he was amazing!"
Meanwhile, at the summer camp, several girls noticed Yu Xinyan looked really happy and couldn't help but be curious.
"Yu Xinyan, is something making you happy?"
"Yu Xinyan, would you like to share?"
On the playground, everyone looked at the dazzling and charming girl. Not only the boys were entranced, but the girls were too.
She seemed like a fairy who had come to their summer camp.
"My boyfriend wrote for someone and made 180,000 in one go!"
Yu Xinyan was even happier than Xu Lin. 180,000 was no big deal for Xu Lin, who now had the ability to earn money. Yu Jianhua, the old couple, leading figures in the system, had seen much, and naturally remained calm.
But Yu Xinyan was genuinely happy for Xu Lin and was the only one who truly was.
"Yu Xinyan, what does your boyfriend do? Does he write for self-media?"
"No, he writes novels for others. They use it and pay him a high price!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
But to be shocked, not really. Students who get admitted as the top scorers or second runners, the very best in the college entrance exams, mostly come from well-off families, and some have very affluent backgrounds. For them, 180,000 is really nothing, and their future will most likely be as experts in various fields, or even some prominent figures with influence, or high-ranking officials of the country. Therefore, they weren't too surprised that Xu Lin made 180,000.
Yu Xinyan turned and sent another message to Xu Lin: "Xu Lin, I bought you a case of milk, it's already here, go pick it up at the station when you have time."
Then Yu Xinyan also sent a delivery receipt code.
Xu Lin: "ok."
Xu Lin sent two of his drafts to Soul and Asura, then went downstairs to get the milk.
This was imported milk, all in English, but judging by the packaging, it seemed quite expensive.
Xu Lin brought it back, took out a bottle, and started drinking.
[Energy +2.]
[Energy +3.]
...
[Energy (60/100): Status is alright.]
At this time, Xu Lin's takeout also arrived. After eating it, Xu Lin rested for a while.
[Energy (80/100): Status is good.]
On the other side, Soul and Asura received the manuscripts, first amazed at Xu Lin's writing speed, then shocked after reading the content.
"Boss, what you wrote is too amazing, compared to you, I'm like an ant staring at the sky!"
"Boss! Thanks a lot!"
Xu Lin was in a good mood, and drank another bottle of milk.
[Energy +3.]
Soul: "By the way, is the boss taking any more assignments?"
Just Taking Daily Settlements: "Not taking any lately, going to rest for half a month."
Damn, it's too exhausting.
Soul: "Alright then, boss, have a good rest!"
Xu Lin turned off the chat software, then went to shower and brush his teeth.
It was already past nine at night, Xu Lin hadn't slept for more than twenty hours, still energetic, but his routine told him he must sleep.
Thus, an uneventful night passed.
For the next ten days or so, Xu Lin stayed at home playing games, occasionally going to Lei Haolong's place, though Lei Haolong often came over.
But today Lei Haolong didn't come.
Because the results of their college application were coming out.
Lei Haolong stayed home, frequently refreshing the system.
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, I'm terribly nervous, afraid I'll miss out, won't even consider supplementary admission, I'd just have to repeat the year then!"
Xu Lin: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you in college, cheering you on."
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, you jerk, can't you comfort your brother?"
Xu Lin: "Weak.jpg Weak.jpg"
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, to which university did your file get into?"
Xu Lin: "Let me check."
After typing and sending, Xu Lin, on a whim, logged into the application system to check the admission results.
It's worth mentioning that two days ago he saw that his application had been accepted by Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, with the status of "Under Review by Institution." Plus, he opted for adjustment, which meant he was sure to be admitted.
After "Under Review by Institution" comes "Pre-admission by Institution" and "Admitted," but if the student's score wasn't enough for the major, and they didn't opt for adjustment, there would be a status of "Rejected." Rejection would mean waiting for supplementary admission or the next batch, but there aren't usually any good majors during supplementary admissions, and the next batch is for second-tier, which for top-tier students, might as well just repeat the year.
Xu Lin's current admission status was successfully admitted.
552 points, just 22 points over the top-tier cutoff, getting into a top-tier finance university that usually required over 630 for past admissions, is hardly believable.
"Let me see… Oh! Admitted, Economics!"
Xu Lin, Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, Economics major!
Glug!
Xu Lin opened a bottle of iced cola and gulped it down.
[Energy +4.]
Xu Lin felt extremely elated!
[Congratulations on completing the task: College Entrance Exam Steal!]
[Congratulations on receiving a random reward: Special Item—Body Shaping Card!]
[Character: Xu Lin]
[Wealth: 243,296.29 yuan]
[Reputation: None.]
[Status: None.]
[Abilities: Divine Penmanship, Master Driving.]
[Items: Never Drunk (buff), Body Shaping Card!]
[Physical Fitness: Excellent (62/100).]
[Overall Evaluation: Starting to have something good.]
"What is a Body Shaping Card?"
Xu Lin was curious, then looked into it.
[Body Shaping Card: This card is a special item that allows you to sculpt your body to an extremely perfect state while working out, with the effect of permanent retention!]
Xu Lin finally understood.
It means that as long as he works out, he can have a perfect body, and this perfect body can be permanently maintained.
As everyone knows, a body achieved through working out, no matter how good it looks, will eventually revert to its former state if not maintained.
But with this special item, as long as Xu Lin exercises, the effects of his workout can be maintained permanently.
"Not bad, with more than a month before college, it's the perfect time to get in shape!"
Xu Lin now had two reasons to celebrate, so he was in a great mood.
On this side.
Lei Haolong: "Damn! Xu Lin, many of the students in our class who applied for batch one have results already, mine is only under review by the institution, when will the results be out?"
Xu Lin: "Did you opt for adjustment?"
"I did," replied Lei Haolong.
"If you did, just wait a bit." Xu Lin replied.
"Did yours come out yet? What did you get in?"
Xu Lin: "I got admitted."
As he was speaking, Xu Lin's phone beeped with a message, stating he was admitted to the Economics program at Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics.
"Let me see which university accepted you!"
Lei Haolong thought Xu Lin only got accepted into a tier-two university with a tier-one major.
When Xu Lin sent over the screenshot of his admission results and the acceptance message, Lei Haolong's eyes widened.
"Holy crap!"
Lei Haolong exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief.
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, did you Photoshop this? Or is it someone with the same name as you?"
That was Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, ranked top three nationally.
And Xu Lin, just 22 points over the top-tier cutoff, got accepted there?
Is this for real?
Xu Lin, did you really photoshop this?
