He slept with his sister's best friend, who turned out to be a top-tier succubus school beauty.

Dormitory 404.

The king and nobleman remained as talkative as ever.

"Hey guys, I need to buy a computer, but I don't know much about them. Do you two have any recommendations?"

"Ask Doubao," Lu Jinyu replied casually.

They're not omnipotent. Why do we have to ask them for everything? Can't we just take matters into our own hands and solve things ourselves?

Furthermore, as a computer finance major, isn't it a bit inappropriate for someone to be unfamiliar with computers?

"Just chatting? How boring!"

The king looked utterly dejected.

He thought that once he got to university, plenty of girls would be waiting for him.

Who would have thought that Lu Jinyu would be the one in the dorm, the one the beautiful girls were secretly watching?

The senior student asked him for her WeChat.

Hey!

Why create a lord when you already have a fisherman?!

Lu Jinyu had studied computers before, mainly to understand what would meet his coding needs.

It also needs to be cheap and affordable.

So he compared many computers on the market and gained a basic understanding of the different price points.

"What's the budget?" Lu Jinyu asked.

"6000, that's the most I can make. We're broke."

"With a budget of 6000, there are too many options. There are several Lenovo models and ASUS models that would be good choices," said Lu Jinyu.

"And you, Yuzai? What brand are you planning to buy?" Wang Hou asked.

After comparing, Lu Jinyu found that all the items she liked were ridiculously expensive, and she couldn't bear to buy them.

"I can't afford it," Lu Jinyu said.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Xuyan glanced at him.

"I plan to buy the parts myself and assemble it, and the performance will be much better for the same price," Lu Jinyu said.

After comparison, this is the optimal choice.

He can assemble a laptop with performance comparable to a laptop costing six or seven thousand yuan using only four thousand yuan worth of parts.

"Holy crap, you can actually fake this?" Wang Hou exclaimed in surprise. "That's impressive! What if you made a mistake?"

First of all, assembling it yourself is not easy.

Secondly, what if it's installed incorrectly or damaged? Wouldn't that be a waste of so much money?

But he overlooked one thing...

"Isn't there a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy?"

Lu Jinyu said, "Putting aside the fact that this thing is not difficult to install, if it really can't be installed, we can just return it."

"Let's forget about it. Why don't the three of us go to the store together and buy it? Let's not take that risk," Wang Hou said.

"I really don't have the money. I'm not kidding. If I say I can't afford it, I really mean it."

Lu Jinyu spoke frankly, and he noticed Chen Xuyan's gaze falling on him again.

Wang Hou chuckled awkwardly.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

He actually felt that Lu Jinyu didn't seem like someone who couldn't afford it, but what Lu Jinyu said didn't sound fake either.

It's really not a good idea to ask too many questions about this kind of thing.

I never expected Lu Jinyu to be in such a miserable state.

Hey!

Ah, life!

"A man can only rely on himself. Only by building an empire with his own hands can he truly be considered capable," Lu Jinyu added.

He noticed that the king's expression and speech had become somewhat cautious, and the atmosphere was clearly not quite right.

Then I added this sentence.

"Yes, that makes sense," Wang Hou quickly replied.

"Agreed."

Chen Xuyan, who had remained silent throughout, gave Lu Jinyu a deep look and uttered those two words with resounding force.

"Actually, my family's financial situation isn't good either."

Wang Hou tried to bridge the gap with his two miserable roommates by saying, "Both of our parents are ordinary office workers."

"My monthly living expenses are only 1500."

In a big city like Hangzhou, 1500 is barely enough.

They won't starve, but they'll never be rich either!

Therefore, it is only natural for the king and nobles to believe that 1500 is basically the lowest level, and they really can't survive if it's any lower.

"I have 500," Chen Xuyan said.

Wang Hou was stunned for a moment, then immediately swore.

"Holy crap, how are we supposed to survive on 500?"

He could tell that Chen Xuyan's family was not well-off, but he didn't expect it to be this outrageous. Could someone really survive on 500 yuan?

How could things have gotten so bad?

Is there anyone worse off than him?

"I don't have a single cent," Lu Jinyu said.

The king was completely stunned.

There really is one?

Chen Xuyan stared intently at Lu Jinyu this time.

"I had a fight with my dad, and he wouldn't give me any living expenses or tuition fees. My grandpa transferred some money to me instead," Lu Jinyu said.

A scene instantly appeared in the king's mind.

When Lu Jinyu arrived, his white-haired grandfather, hunched over, took out the little money he had left from a cloth bag wrapped in dozens of layers and handed it to him with trembling hands.

Some were one or two pieces, others were five or ten pieces.

How miserable!

It turns out that Lu Jinyu was the most miserable one in their dormitory.

And yet he lived such a positive life, full of hope for the future.

A man can only rely on himself; true ability lies in building an empire with one's own hands.

What he said was so inspiring.

Wang Hou then thought of the time he gave the braised pork to Chen Xuyan.

Even though they're in such a terrible situation, they're still so kind.

"Fish, it's okay. At worst, you can do some part-time work. It may be tough, but you can still survive."

The king offered his words of comfort with a solemn expression.

"I'll go with you."

Chen Xuyan said that he definitely wouldn't have enough money, and he would have to work while studying in order to survive.

Lu Jinyu: ? ? ?

what?

That's not what he meant.

He's not that miserable.

But seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, he could only nod blankly in the end.

"I'm pretty miserable too." Chen Xuyan suddenly became more talkative. "I only dare to order one shredded potato when I eat."

All I had was two sets of clothes.

I didn't even dare buy blankets or anything like that, thinking that since it's hot, I'd just make do with whatever I could find.

After Chen Xuyan finished speaking, he lay down on the bare bed board and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Lu Jinyu: ...

Holy crap, that's just too damn tragic!

How can I sleep like this?

"Me too, I only have one set of clothes," Lu Jinyu said.

Wang Hou: ...

Chen Xuyan: ...

Is today a competition to see who has the worst misery?

Damn it, each one is more miserable than the last; there's no limit to how miserable they can get.

"I'm not going to say anything more. Brother, if you don't mind, I'll give you two pieces," Wang Hou said.

He has quite a lot of clothes.

"Thanks, brother. I'll let you know if I need anything," Lu Jinyu said.

"From now on, we're all brothers, family, no need for formalities." Wang Hou then turned to Chen Xuyan and said:

"Brother, if you don't mind, I'll share my blanket with you."

He had a mattress and a blanket.

It's hot, no need for a blanket. Give this blanket to Chen Xuyan.

We'll figure something out when the weather gets colder.

"Need not."

Chen Xuyan shook his head and refused outright.

"Brothers, don't lose heart."

"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, and empties their resources..."

Wang Hou clenched his fist to encourage the two.

Lu Jinyu could only:

"Yes, yes, yes."
