My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

But Lin Ye remained calm; he simply said with a composed expression:

"If your brother-in-law finds out you're keeping secrets and stealing money from the bar..."

Zhao Chengyu's expression changed slightly, then he sneered:

"Threatening me? You think I'll be afraid of you like that?"

"You're selling counterfeit alcohol at the bar..."

Zhao Chengyu's expression softened slightly, but he remained firm and said:

"Do you think my brother-in-law believes you or me?"

"You're still sleeping with your brother-in-law's mistress..."

Zhao Chengyu's pupils contracted, and he immediately stood up, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Lin, let's talk this out. We're like brothers, right? It's just resigning, isn't it? Here's what we'll do: I'll approve the resignation right away, and I'll also make up for the few hundred yuan I had withheld from you for drinks last time..."

His posture, initially servile but later obsequious, is laughable.

...

Ten minutes later, Lin Ye walked out of the bar, and a bank card deposit notification arrived.

The total is 5,100 yuan.

"From now on, the word 'working for someone else' will never appear in my dictionary again."

With a calm smile, Lin Ye boarded the subway back to school once more.

Before leaving, he sent Zhang He a message.

"Old Zhang, I've resigned."

Zhang He replied shortly afterward.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly resign? Did that Zhao bastard bully someone again?"

"No, I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam."

Lin Ye made up a random excuse, which put Zhang He at ease.

"That's good. If that bastard dared to bully you, I'd beat him to death."

"Okay, just focus on your work, don't worry."

The two ended their conversation, and Lin Ye opened his stock market app.

As a finance major, it's inevitable that I'll come into contact with things like stock investment.

To be honest, even finance professionals are only slightly better than the average person when it comes to stocks.

The stock market in Dongxia, in particular, has a somewhat mystical quality.

Otherwise, everyone would rush to study finance.

Therefore, Lin Ye's previous attempt to play around was merely for the purpose of learning, and was intended as homework.

Today is different. He wants to test his current mental capacity and financial knowledge to see if he can bring about some different changes.

"Seiko Electronics... LCD screen... AI model... White Myth..."

After careful analysis, Lin Ye finally selected two stocks.

However, he did not buy directly because it is not allowed to buy stocks at night.

What Lin Ye did was observe and record. Through mental calculations, he made a judgment on the possibility of an increase and the magnitude of the increase.

If his prediction is correct, the next step is to take action. If his prediction is wrong, it means that his mental abilities need to evolve further.

After doing all that, Lin Ye scrolled through a few more short videos, watching videos of black stockings, white stockings, and flesh-colored stockings...

While mindless food may not be very nutritious, it can provide a moment of relief for the brain.

People shouldn't be too hasty; occasional rest is necessary.

However, while scrolling through videos, Lin Ye suddenly discovered a special announcement video.

Recently, many people have been using the "white fog incident" to carry out fake live streams and scam money. We urge all netizens to be vigilant and, if you encounter any such scams, please call the reporting hotline XXXXXXX immediately.

"The Federation has indeed made its move."

We should keep a low profile.

Build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king... The wisdom of our ancestors is always correct.

Upon returning to school, Lin Ye immediately immersed himself in the library once again.

This time, he began reading on microfinance.

There are more textbooks on microfinance.

Investment Studies, Corporate Finance, Financial Risk Management, Financial Risk Management Practice...

Perhaps it was because the nighttime temperature was slightly cool, and coupled with the modern habit of staying up late, Lin Ye seemed to be more efficient when reading at night.

Logically speaking, if the brainpower level doesn't increase, the increase in experience points shouldn't necessarily improve brainpower capabilities.

This needs further verification.

And so, Lin Ye spent the entire night reading through the microfinance course.

He is now fully qualified to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and his chances of passing are at least 90%!

His mental experience value also reached a full 12 points!

The result of doing this was that his mental capacity reached its limit. He returned to his dormitory in a daze, collapsed onto his bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Ye had a dream; he dreamt of a world he had never seen before.

In this world, some people can turn the world upside down with a single hand, some can overturn rivers and seas with a flick of their fingers... and there are countless enormous beasts roaming freely.

Until finally, he saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything, yet were also incredibly familiar.

Just as Lin Ye was about to get closer to see who the owner of those eyes was, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ear.

"Old Lin, Old Lin, wake up, wake up quickly."

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a face with a buzz cut and a resolute look.

Not handsome, not ugly, average looks, a 6 or 7 out of 10.

"Old Zhang? You're off work?"

"What? You're off work? I'm about to go to work! What's wrong with you? You were sleeping when I got home this morning, and it's already afternoon, and you're still sleeping? Shouldn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Is it already afternoon?"

Lin Ye was taken aback. He looked at his phone and realized it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

But that's not surprising, considering he didn't sleep all night.

"I'm fine. I just spent the whole night reading at the library last night."

"Wow~ You've been studying all night, are you really thinking of taking the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Zhang He was stunned into silence.

Why would I lie to you?

"Damn, that's some action! Old Lin, I'm rooting for you! When you become CEO and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, don't forget your godson who stood by you through thick and thin!"

"Just be normal for once. Whether you can pass the exam is another matter."

Lin Ye shook his head, both amused and exasperated. Zhang He had always been a rather lively and mischievous person.

"Hehe, I'm not messing around with you anymore. I have some good news for you."

"Oh? What good news?"

"My buddy's out of the single life."

"Finding a partner?"

"That's right, when I drive my Mercedes-Benz someday, I'll take you for a ride."

"Driving a Mercedes-Benz?"

Lin Ye was even more puzzled. What necessary connection was there between dating and driving a Mercedes-Benz?

"Hehehe, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You'll find out later. I have to go now."

With that, Zhang He left the dormitory with a smug look on his face.

"This kid... there's something wrong with him."

Lin Ye frowned slightly. Zhang He was wearing a suit that Lin Ye rarely wore, and he had also put on perfume.

I feel like I have a fever.

"Never mind, it's none of my business."

His stomach was rumbling, and the intense hunger made him get up and head towards the cafeteria.

Lin Ye simultaneously opened his stock trading app to check yesterday's predictions.

"Jiansheng Pharmaceutical...up 3%...Southeast Media...up 5%...the error is no more than 0.2%, the prediction is basically correct!"
