Poverty Makes Me Crave Wealth

After finishing his studies for the day, Feng Qi returned to his dormitory.

In the morning, he had studied the basics of cultivation theory in the library. In the afternoon, he had discussed the fundamental principles of Fierce Tiger Fist with Lin Ran.

Faced with Lin Ran's questions, he couldn't escape and had to bite the bullet and answer.

Fortunately, Lin Ran didn't ask about anything outside of Fierce Tiger Fist, so there wasn't an awkward situation where he couldn't answer.

Turning on the light, he sat down at his desk and began to ponder a question.

How could he enter the dream state again?

If he couldn't enter the dream state, his strength wouldn't improve, and saving the world would be empty talk. Perhaps one day in his early twenties, he would meet an untimely end.

Therefore, entering the future dream state was crucial.

He speculated that the energy progress bar might be the key to entering the future dream state.

But the problem was how to quickly fill the energy bar.

He didn't have Mu Qing's digestion speed. If he relied solely on food to replenish energy, the progress would be too slow.

Feng Qi had calculated that when full, each meal could replenish about 2%-4% of his energy. To fill the energy bar completely, he would need 250-500 meals.

Even if he ate five meals a day, it would still take 2-3 months to enter the dream state again.

So he urgently needed other things that could replenish his body's energy.

Thinking of this, he opened his tablet and began browsing shopping websites, looking for food that could help him quickly replenish energy.

After entering the keyword "replenish energy" on the shopping website, the product list appeared.

[T-33 Energy Bar]:

[Exquisite Fruit], [Evil Spirit Rune Crystal], [Hundred Refinements Flower]...

There were many items that could quickly replenish energy, but their prices were generally ridiculously high.

But Feng Qi could understand why these items were so expensive. They were all produced in dangerous Domain fields and were brought out by the warriors of the Domain Battle Squads who risked their lives.

After much thought, Feng Qi gritted his teeth and added the [T-33 Energy Bar], [Nine Color Flower], and [Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal] to his shopping cart, then clicked purchase.

After facial recognition, the purchase successful prompt appeared.

Looking at the bottom right corner, his account balance, after deducting the purchase cost, still had over 2 million remaining.

At this moment, he suddenly felt so poor. The money his parents left him was simply not enough to buy items produced in the Domain fields.

Actually, Feng Qi's parents were quite wealthy when they were fighting in the Domain fields.

After all, they lived a life of licking blood from the blade, with a guaranteed income of 500,000 per month, plus extra income if the harvest was abundant.

But they used most of their income to update various equipment or purchase special energy liquids and other items that could improve their strength, so they didn't send much money to Feng Qi each month.

By the time his parents went missing, he had saved a total of over 3 million.

He usually lived frugally with no major expenses, and he thought this money would be enough to support him until he graduated from the academy.

But after seeing the prices of various energy replenishment items on the shopping website, he was struck.

Thinking that each time he entered the future dream state he would need to replenish energy, the remaining two million clearly wouldn't last.

At this moment, he had the idea of wanting to make money.

As for how to make money, Feng Qi currently had no ideas. He decided that the next time he entered the future dream state, he would look up information in this area to see if there were any opportunities to get rich overnight.

For example, lottery numbers, entrepreneurial opportunities, and so on.

In short, the money had to come quickly.

As for working, he would never work. After all, the money earned from working couldn't satisfy his energy needs at all. So even if he starved to death and couldn't enter the dream state, he would never work.

Only getting rich overnight was his best option.

Moreover, he wasn't the male protagonist in a novel who liked to hide his strength and keep a low profile, clearly capable but choosing to work to earn money.

Feng Qi felt that to become a super genius recognized by all of humanity, his actions should be high-profile, and making money was the same.

Always thinking about keeping a low profile, developing stealthily, being a Voldemort, or playing the pig to eat the tiger – these are not things a proper person with a cheat would do. Such actions can be summarized in two words: despicable.

Young people should be full of youthful vigor!

Early the next morning, the items Feng Qi ordered were delivered to the academy entrance and then brought to his dormitory by the academy's security personnel.

Taking the package from the security uncle, Feng Qi closed the door and began to unpack.

There were a total of three packages.

He first took out the T-33 Energy Bar stored in a glass bottle.

After taking a bite, the texture was quite hard, but it melted quickly in his mouth. The taste was very strange, neither good nor bad. After swallowing, he could feel his stomach churning violently and his body temperature rising.

Summoning the energy progress bar, it shot up at a rate of 1% energy replenishment per second.

However, after about 50 seconds, the speed of the progress bar slowed down until it stopped.

In comparison, the effect was several times stronger than ordinary food.

He then stuffed the remaining energy bar into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed. After waiting for a moment, the energy bar finally stopped at 84%.

An entire energy bar only gave him a 3% energy replenishment.

But Feng Qi didn't feel too surprised. After all, the main function of the energy bar was to replenish energy consumption. It was already very good to have such an effect without needing to eat a lot.

He then opened the second package and took out the Nine Color Flower.

The petals of this Nine Color Flower had nine colors. After taking it out, the entire dormitory was filled with a faint floral fragrance. Although it was out of the soil, the Nine Color Flower did not wither and still emitted a hazy white light.

Under normal circumstances, spiritual plants brought out from Domain fields should be refined and blended by a spiritual pharmacist before consumption for the best effect.

This is because the medicinal properties of many plants in Domain fields are potent, and direct consumption can cause damage to the body. However, after being blended by a spiritual pharmacist, there are no such problems. Furthermore, by neutralizing the medicinal properties with different spiritual plants, they can even achieve an effect greater than 1+1.

However, medicinal liquids prepared by spiritual pharmacists are expensive, generally costing twice as much as direct consumption.

So Feng Qi decisively gave up on this option and then stuffed the Nine Color Flower into his mouth.

As he chewed, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated and spread through his mouth and nose. His pores opened up, and he felt comfortable all over, as if basking in warm sunlight.

The energy progress bar also jumped, increasing by 1% every second.

Five minutes later, the energy progress bar stopped jumping, and the percentage number finally settled at 5%.

The medicinal effect of the Nine Color Flower was strong, but it still couldn't fill the energy bar, which greatly disappointed him.

The combined price of the energy bar and the Nine Color Flower was already close to 200,000. If he had to consume this much every day from now on, he didn't dare to think about it. Just thinking about it made him feel poor.

Finally, Feng Qi turned his gaze to a gray crystal placed in a metal box, which was the Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal he had purchased for 880,000.
