An Wuyang's College Entrance Examination scores were not ideal.

On June 25, 2021, at 00:01, An Wuyang checked his scores on the official results website. His specific scores were as follows:

Hello, An Wuyang:

Chinese: 99 Mathematics: 99 Foreign Language: 138 Science Comprehensive: 101 Total Score: 437

Looking at his total score of just 437, An Wuyang was not surprised. This result was entirely within his expectations.

An Wuyang silently considered his choice of major. The options available with this score were truly hard to describe, and most majors offered no bright future. Fortunately, An Wuyang's family was very well-off, belonging to the class of the extremely wealthy!

The [Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group] run by An Wuyang's family was a private family enterprise established over forty years ago.

In his memory, the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's annual profit was at least half a "small target," meaning an annual profit exceeding 50 million Xia Country Yuan.

As the sole legal heir, An Wuyang didn't really care about his less-than-ideal College Entrance Examination scores.

Could it be that in the year 2021, people still thought...

Never mind!

Don't say things that disrupt unity.

Regarding his major choice, An Wuyang first abandoned majors closely related to the family business, such as medicine.

With a total score of only 437, even if he drank Dichlorvos, he couldn't possibly dream of getting into any top medical schools.

Using the method of elimination by low scores, An Wuyang quickly ruled out various majors requiring high scores, finally setting his sights on the [Marketing Major].

Compared to other unsuitable majors, marketing could at least help him manage the marketing aspects of the family business, thus preparing him to take over the family enterprise in the future.

Once the major was decided, it was time to screen relevant universities.

Whether it was C9, E9, or a lower-tier C9, none were choices that someone with a score of just over 400 could even attempt to compete for. An Wuyang wouldn't even dream of such a situation.

He was all about self-awareness!

An Wuyang initially screened universities offering the [Marketing Major] and limited his choices to the 'Southwest F4' region.

The so-called 'Southwest F4' region refers to the four provinces and municipalities: Shengqing, Xichuan, Nanyun, and Qiangui.

An Wuyang placed universities in his home province, Shengqing, as his last option. This was because, given the choice, he didn't want to stay in his hometown; he wanted to experience the air of freedom!

Rongcheng in Xichuan was An Wuyang's top choice. Rongcheng and Shengqing were sister cities with similar levels of prosperity and dining habits, allowing An Wuyang to integrate almost seamlessly.

More importantly, Rongcheng and Shengqing were only about 300 kilometers apart, and it would take less than two hours to get there by high-speed rail.

This distance would satisfy An Wuyang's desire for freedom while also allowing for the convenience of quickly returning to Shengqing to participate in family business affairs.

As for Nanyun Province and Qiangui Province, they could only serve as backup options.

Narrowing down the university choices specifically to Rongcheng left a very limited range of options.

An Wuyang consulted the relevant admission scores and rankings from 2020, disregarding the choices for the first and second undergraduate batches.

This was because starting this year, 2021, both would be unified under the 'undergraduate batch' category.

An Wuyang was merely referencing the 2020 admission scores and rankings.

For example, Xicai University, a double first-class university (985/211), had an admission score line of 567 for science students in Shengqing in 2020, with a ranking of around 15,000.

An Wuyang, with his meager 437 points and a ranking far outside the top 80,000, had no business looking at any double first-class universities, right?

He could only look at 'second-tier' universities, specifically those at the lower end of the rankings. However, universities at the bottom of the second-tier were almost all private institutions. An Wuyang hadn't decided yet and planned to discuss it with his parents during breakfast.

An Wuyang had made up his mind. He used his phone to turn off the bedroom lights, plugged his phone into the charging cable, and prepared to sleep.

Just as An Wuyang closed his eyes, he opened them again, as if he had heard something?

'Ding!'

'Happy Life System binding successful.'

'Congratulations to the host for starting your happy life journey.'

In the darkness, An Wuyang's eyes widened. He realized this might not be auditory hallucination?

A light blue interface appeared in his mind, along with corresponding text information, indicating that An Wuyang could communicate with the Happy Life System through thought alone.

'System?' An Wuyang tried calling out in his mind.

'System online, ready to serve the host,' the Happy Life System responded in An Wuyang's mind.

Receiving the feedback from the Happy Life System, An Wuyang immediately continued his inquiry through thought, 'What does the system do?'

'The system will assist the host in starting a happy life journey.' The Happy Life System's not-so-intelligent feedback.

'Ding!'

'Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Primal Blessing [Lucky Wealth].'

Lucky Wealth:

For every second that passes, the host will receive 0.01 Xia Country Yuan in Happiness Reserve Funds.

The host can withdraw any amount of Happiness Reserve Funds to their personal bank account.

Starting from June 25, 2021, 00:00:00, every second of the host's life should be happy and joyful!

Following the latest prompt from the Happy Life System, An Wuyang accurately fumbled for his phone in the darkness and checked the time. It was just past 00:12.

He then checked the Happiness Reserve Funds in the Happy Life System within his mind. It was a constantly fluctuating number, currently showing over 7.2 Yuan, which perfectly corresponded to the rule of receiving 0.01 Yuan per second.

An Wuyang quickly calculated:

One second is 0.01 Yuan, One minute is 0.6 Yuan, One hour is 36 Yuan, One day is 864 Yuan, One month is 25,920 Yuan, One year is 315,350 Yuan.

Over three hundred thousand Xia Country Yuan in a year might be a substantial amount of money for an ordinary person.

At least, the vast majority of ordinary people could not earn three hundred thousand Xia Country Yuan in a year.

But for An Wuyang, he just found it troublesome!

'System, I want to ask how this Happiness Reserve Fund is obtained?' An Wuyang inquired.

An Wuyang, born into a wealthy and powerful family, was quite sensitive to matters in the economic sphere. Therefore, his first question to the Happy Life System was about the source of the funds.

'Please rest assured, host. The system's funds come from legal channels including, but not limited to, the US stock market, futures market, international foreign exchange market, and international gold trading market, and are all traceable,' the Happy Life System responded in his mind.

However, An Wuyang pressed further, 'Through what channels are these funds transferred into my bank account?'

This question seemed simple. To ordinary people, the answer would be a direct transfer. Were there any other complications?

However, in reality, this question was not simple at all!
