[Seventeen Years Old, Afraid of School Bullying]

In this life, Lin Ze was born into a family where both parents were teachers.

Their family conditions were better than some, but not as good as others.

When he was young, Lin Ze didn't awaken with past life wisdom. He was often mischievous, and with his parents, who were teachers, tutoring him, his grades were only barely in the middle of his age group.

Even after entering junior high school, his grades showed no signs of improving.

Initially, Lin Zheng and his wife were happy to see that Lin Ze could earn money using social media, had started exercising, signed up for shooting lessons, and had his own hobbies. They were very happy with their son's changes.

It was summer vacation, so it was normal for the child to have some interests and hobbies.

But soon, they couldn't smile anymore.

Lin Ze's daily schedule was packed, exercising, shooting, and learning a language from another world.

As for school, of course, he simply stopped going.

As a result, Lin Ze had a deep conflict with his family.

Both parents felt that a child like Lin Ze should go to school, but Lin Ze didn't think so.

Learning is to gain knowledge and change one's destiny, and he was doing just that.

As for whether he gained knowledge in school, that was completely unimportant.

Ordinary children need to stay in school to receive education, but his situation was different.

But obviously, the twelve-year-old Lin Ze had no persuasive power with his parents.

Lin Ze was forcibly dragged to school by his parents.

This also made Lin Ze a little helpless, and for a moment, he had a thought that made people laugh out loud.

Why am I not...

At this moment, Lin Ze suddenly understood why most of the transmigration novels he had read in his previous life set the protagonist as a member of an orphanage.

The trouble lies in these places.

You are working hard on your career, but there are people around you holding you back.

The conflict between parents and children was thus completely intensified.

After Lin Ze continued to try to persuade his parents without success, he decisively moved out of the house.

Taking the income certificate of 70,000 yuan from two months of social media work and applying for a leave of absence from school in the name of social practice with the school principal, he directly took a plane and left Green Mountain County, where his parents were, and went to Ningyu City, the capital city of East Sea Province on the coast.

The twelve-year-old Lin Ze was a person with no full civil capacity and could not rent a house by himself, but there was no problem staying in a hotel.

He directly signed a monthly accommodation service with the hotel.

After Lin Ze settled down in the new city, he reported his safety to his parents as soon as possible and sent them back 10,000 yuan.

After that, he began his life of making videos, exercising, and going to the shooting range to practice shooting in this brand new city in an orderly manner.

Lin Zheng and his wife looked at each other and found that they had no ability to restrain Lin Ze.

He had his own source of income and hadn't done anything illegal, so as parents, they couldn't forcibly control him at all; even calling the police wouldn't help.

It was at this moment that they deeply understood what it meant for the economic base to determine the superstructure.

If Lin Ze had no source of income, then naturally, as parents, whatever they said would go, but the current situation was completely reversed.

Apart from straining their relationship with their child, they didn't get the result they wanted.

Lin Ze even proactively applied for a leave of absence from compulsory education to prevent his parents from being lectured by the authorities.

He proved with his actions that he already had the ability to live independently.

Helpless, the couple felt a sense of regret in their hearts.

They wanted Lin Ze to come home, and they would no longer forcibly interfere with his life.

However, Lin Ze at this time didn't want to go back.

Only when you are alone can you appreciate how wonderful freedom is.

Moreover, what he was doing required a relatively free and independent space, rather than staying in a home where he had to report to his parents wherever he went.

Since leaving home to live alone at the age of twelve, Lin Ze had rarely returned.

He usually sent his parents a fixed amount of five thousand yuan each month, and only went home for a few days during the New Year before leaving again in a hurry.

It wasn't that there were still any conflicts between them.

After his parents chose not to forcibly interfere with Lin Ze's life, the two sides had long reconciled, otherwise he wouldn't have returned home for a period of time every year.

It was just that what Lin Ze was doing required an independent and free space, and staying at home was not very suitable.

However, Lin Zheng and his wife had never given up on the idea of Lin Ze returning home to live for a long time.

Although in the past five years, Lin Ze had become more and more outstanding every year.

At seventeen years old, he was not only tall and strong, but also had mastered a good marksmanship, and his self-media was also doing very well. He was a very excellent young man, but the only regret was that he spent too little time with his parents.

More than two years ago, he even moved to a remote village to live in order to create in peace and quiet.

As parents, they really didn't want to see their son living in seclusion and alone at such a young age.

Thus, there was this phone call at this moment.

The video account had been inactive for two months, not because Lin Ze's creativity had entered a bottleneck, but because of his real career.

The inter-world trade was about to begin.

"The New Year is coming up in a while, I'll be back then."

After a moment of silence, Lin Ze said this.

After today, his inter-world trade would finally begin.

His initial investment in the two worlds' trade had concluded, and now it was time to officially begin reaping the rewards.

He would be very busy for a while, so naturally, he couldn't agree to his parents' request to go home and be with them.

After a few more words, and expressing concern for his parents' health, Lin Ze hung up the phone.

Recalling his conversation with his parents just now, and thinking about the fans on the communication software asking him when he would update.

He thought for a moment and turned on his computer.

He edited the video footage of himself hitting the target with every shot at the shooting range, as well as the footage of himself showing off his well-developed muscles at the gym, adding background music to create a video of about a minute.

He opened the world's largest short video platform, Salted Fish, and Lin Ze logged into his creator backend.

He glanced at his account, which had lost 200,000 followers due to not updating for two months, leaving him with just over three million fans. He uploaded the video he had just edited.

[Seventeen years old, afraid of campus violence!]

He chose a title and uploaded it.

'Seventeen years old, afraid the campus isn't violent enough!'

Lin Ze had even anticipated what the top comments would be after the video was released.

"Okay, update complete, time to go to sleep."

Lin Ze confirmed the upload was successful, turned off the computer, washed the dishes, and got up to go to the bedroom to sleep.

Starting tomorrow, it would be time to monetize the Matsutake he had acquired from the other world, which would probably keep him busy for a long time.

Without a good rest, he wouldn't have enough energy to handle all this work.
