Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Monday.

During the big break before the first class in the morning, many students returned after breakfast, waiting for the preparatory bell to ring.

Chai Wei, who used to always arrive early to class, was missing again. He is mentally strong and only took yesterday's night self-study off.

Today he came for morning self-study again, but he arrived just as class started, so many classmates who wanted to talk to him had no opportunity.

Initially, Cui Yu planned to wait until morning self-study ended and then ask Meng Gui to check on Ah Wei's well-being, but unfortunately, just as the bell rang, Chai Wei ran out again.

Chen Siyu nudged Jiang Ning: "It seems like we don't have a holiday this week, until next Tuesday."

"Indeed, there's a seven-day holiday for National Day afterward," Jiang Ning replied.

"Are you going out for the National Day?" Chen Siyu asked. Last summer, Jiang Ning took them to Xinchang City. Although the journey was nerve-wracking, the subsequent experiences made it unforgettable for her and her sister.

Jiang Ning shook his head, denying: "No, there are too many people traveling during holidays."

Even if you go out, it's crowded and not enjoyable.

"Then, if you're not going out, are you staying at home?" Chen Siyu continued to ask.

Jiang Ning: "Probably, I'll stroll around nearby, maybe do some boating or have a picnic or something."

"Oh oh." Chen Siyu's intentions became clear: "Then my sister and I can come to play with you?"

...

The back row of the classroom.

Zhang Chi approached the group of four: "Brother Jun, do you still have money?"

During the summer, he earned quite a bit moving cement, but after getting money, he spent it lavishly on phones, shoes, barbecue, and hotpot, quickly spending most of it.

Hu Jun didn't even look up and replied: "No money."

Zhang Chi: "How can you have no money? It's only Monday; didn't you just get your living expenses?"

Hu Jun retorted: "Yeah, you just got your living expenses, right? Why are you borrowing money from me?"

Zhang Chi chuckled: "I didn't ask for living expenses, so I'm borrowing a couple from you."

Hu Jun ignored him.

Zhang Chi, unable to do anything, glanced at Wang Longlong but quickly gave up. If he borrowed from Wang Longlong, he'd surely receive a lecture, and that would be so annoying.

He skipped over Dan Kaiquan, since Kaiquan is not someone he could rely on for borrowing money.

Ma Shicheng was not an option either. If he borrowed from Ma Shicheng, Brother Ma would likely offer him buns, but Zhang Chi wanted meat.

Thinking it through, Zhang Chi wobbled over to Guo Kunnan: "Brother Nan, lend me ten yuan, I'll pay you back after a while."

Guo Kunnan: "You should first repay the twenty you owe me."

Zhang Chi shamelessly said, "I have no money for food. Once I have money, I promise I'll pay you back."

Guo Kunnan puzzled, "Forget it, I don't get it, why do you always borrow money from me?"

"I don't have much money. Huang Zhongfei and Jiang Ning have more money than I do, why don't you borrow from them?"

Zhang Chi glanced at Jiang Ning, who was joking with Chen Siyu, feeling an inexplicable awe; Jiang Ning's combat power was too high.

He looked at Huang Zhongfei, then at the Four Golden Flowers; they would surely help Huang Zhongfei.

Zhang Chi pondered, 'Borrowing money from them means you really have to pay it back!'

Just as Zhang Chi was ready to persuade Guo Kunnan with logic and emotion, a silhouette suddenly appeared outside the 8th class classroom.

The newcomer was a boy, his face carrying a confident and calm smile. He wore Nike AJ shoes, Adidas brand clothes all over, and a Casio sports watch on his wrist, with an outfit worth over three thousand yuan, making him stand out as affluent.

Unlike the down-and-out figure who used to come to the 8th class to sell small items, now Shen Xu monopolizes the mobile phone rental business in the entire school, especially with a freshman class exceeding a thousand, expanding his market by more than a third.

He currently owns 30 phones, with over 70 rented out. Each phone's deposit rose from the initial 80 yuan to 100 yuan.

His net asset valuation reached over ten thousand yuan, and each phone rented generates a weekly profit of ten yuan, with over 70 phones bringing in more than 700 yuan weekly.

Moreover, rented phones are often confiscated, allowing Shen Xu to directly keep the 100 yuan deposit. The cost of a broken phone is less than 60 yuan, plus the 10 yuan deposit, netting him a painful profit of 50 yuan.

With his business acumen, Shen Xu became a prominent figure in Fourth Middle School, bragging, his footsteps often floating, feeling invincible.

Shen Xu stepped into class 8, immediately catching the attention of many.

Zhang Chi clenched his fist, seeing Shen Xu's outfit, feeling a deep jealousy and hatred!

If he had been the first to rent phones, the one living it large now would be him, no need to miserably borrow money!

Shen Xu raised his wrist, in full view of everyone in class 8, glanced at his Casio watch.

Then he pulled out a gold-colored iPhone 5s, casually fiddled with it, exuding some charisma of a successful social figure.

After Shen Xu completed his entry performance, he asked, "Where's Chai Wei from your class?"

The class leader Xin Youling intervened: "What do you want with him?"

Shen Xu: "I heard Chai Wei was interesting lately and wanted to chat with him."

Xin Youling defending: "Don't disturb him."

Shen Xu laughed out loud: "Hahaha, Chai Wei used to be someone in class 6. How did he end up like this?"

His laughter was blatant, his voice bold.

Back when he went to class 6 to sell small items, humble to earn money, he was publicly mocked by Chai Wei, who claimed, "How can you as a student be like a street vendor?"

That day, Shen Xu kept silent, secretly enduring.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, today, hearing about Chai Wei's miserable situation, he came to repay!

However, upon hearing it, Pang Jiao angrily stood up and shouted, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yifei and Li Shengnan both glared furiously.

Shen Xu smiled, beckoning: "Tianpeng."
