System: Master Your Life

The time quickly arrived to Tuesday.

That is, the twelfth.

At 9:30 in the morning, Xu Lin's manuscript fee arrived on time.

"The last digits... 7,578,693 yuan..."

[Wealth: 8,714,562.56 yuan.]

Xu Lin glanced at his wealth balance. He's been spending quite a bit lately; on one hand, he paid half a year's rent for his large house upfront, that's 180,000 yuan, then there's the gym and gaming room setup which also cost over 100,000 yuan, and on Sunday he spent over 20,000 yuan on cosmetics for Rong Xiyi and the others. So, his original over 1.5 million yuan savings is now just over 1.1 million.

But today, with a new deposit, Xu Lin's savings came to over 8.7 million yuan.

For a moment, Xu Lin didn't even know how to spend the money.

Buy a car?

Xu Lin thought there was no rush, he'd start thinking about it, at most by January he'd buy a car.

After the class at noon, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan left the school.

There are no classes on Tuesday afternoons.

The weather today was quite cold, with a high of 14 degrees, and they said a cold front was coming in a few days, which would bring temperatures down to single digits.

Ning Yuhuan wore the black trench coat and black ankle boots that Xu Lin had bought for her a few days ago, giving her a somewhat heroic look.

After lunch, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan went to the city library.

Book-loving Ning Yuhuan was as diligent as always. Being near her, Xu Lin usually studied too, being influenced by her.

However, this time Xu Lin wasn't reading history books, he decided to try something different and took down a whole set of "The Story of the Ming Dynasty" from the shelf.

This time Xu Lin didn't plan to memorize everything, he just intended to skim through once to get it done. But with Xu Lin's good memory and learning talent, even a quick read was more detailed than others' thorough reading; a normal person couldn't compare to Xu Lin.

So the whole set of books, totaling seven volumes and three million words, Xu Lin finished skimming through in more than three hours, which was very fast; generally, if one reads carefully for just two hours a day, they wouldn't know how long it would take. After all, physical books aren't like online texts; skipping chapters while reading this type of book is less meaningful, it's better not to read it at all.

It was past four in the afternoon, and Ning Yuhuan was still writing her thesis.

"Have you finished reading?"

Ning Yuhuan asked curiously when she saw Xu Lin wasn't reading anymore.

"All done."

"Amazing!"

Ning Yuhuan exclaimed in admiration.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"Rice noodles!"

"Rice noodles are too cheap, let's step it up a bit. Besides, I got paid for my manuscript today, let's eat something nice."

"You choose!" Ning Yuhuan playfully smiled and said.

"Okay, I'll handle it."

After finishing the set of books, Xu Lin found himself free and suddenly remembered something, so he logged into his alternate account.

Sure enough, there were messages from Toutuo's group.

The book Xu Lin collaborated on with Toutuo had its manuscript fee processed. The payment he received was 750,000 yuan, and Toutuo said he would transfer 400,000 yuan to Xu Lin, waiting for Xu Lin's reply before transferring.

Xu Lin looked at it and replied, "No need for 400,000, stick to the contract and transfer me 40%."

A 60/40 split, with 40% of 750,000 being just over 300,000.

Toutuo: "Master, how about I transfer 350,000? Consider the extra as a red envelope from the disciple to the master!"

"Sounds good."

"Master, I'll start the transfer now."

Soon, Xu Lin received his 350,000 yuan.

And it wasn't just Toutuo, there was also Wu Chengfeng.

Wu Chengfeng got over 1.7 million yuan this time. Although he didn't transfer tens of thousands like last time, since they hadn't collaborated by contract, Wu Chengfeng still gave Xu Lin a red envelope of 200,000 yuan.

Wu Chengfeng: "Thank you, Master, for your generous guidance! Folded hands.jpg"

In a good mood, Xu Lin also quickly answered the questions Chengfeng asked over the past few days.

With 550,000 yuan deposited at once, Xu Lin's savings now exceeded 9 million yuan.

[Wealth: 9,264,562.56 yuan.]

After five o'clock, the two left the library, and Xu Lin brought Ning Yuhuan to a Zhejiang cuisine restaurant, where they had a hearty meal.

Actually, with Xu Lin's current financial capability, he could completely enjoy all those exotic delicacies.

Usually, dining out costs about one or two hundred, and you can get quite full with a few dishes.

Spending between five hundred and a thousand allows you to eat very well, and you can enjoy meals at most restaurants with ease.

Over a thousand, you start to appreciate fine cuisine.

Then it goes to several thousands, tens of thousands, or even more.

Or, if you have money, you can have top chefs specially prepare a meal for you.

In short, with money, you can enjoy any exotic delicacies.

But Ning Yuhuan isn't used to Xu Lin spending money extravagantly, she'd feel bad for his money, even though Xu Lin isn't short of money now.

As her man becomes more and more outstanding, Ning Yuhuan also feels quite pressured. She can only continue to bury her head in hard work, realizing her dreams, and at the same time, ensuring the gap between her and Xu Lin doesn't become too large.

After eating their fill, Ning Yuhuan followed Xu Lin back to the duplex apartment.

"Senior, if you ever need a quiet place to study, just come over here. Do you still have the key I gave you?

"Always carrying it!"

"Then just come here in the future. I see many third- and fourth-year students rent places outside."

Ning Yuhuan nodded, feeling touched by Xu Lin's support for her studies.

At this moment, she took off her coat, planning to tidy up the room, but found it already neat and tidy, just as she left it the week before.

Seeing her wanting to tidy up the room, Xu Lin laughed and said, "Isn't it already clean?"

"Yeah, it's clean."

And Xu Lin patted his thigh.

Understanding his hint, Ning Yuhuan sat on Xu Lin's lap.

This time, Ning Yuhuan took the initiative to kiss Xu Lin on the lips. Xu Lin wasn't shy either, kissing her back while simultaneously reaching to take off Ning Yuhuan's clothes.
