Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance
Chapter 50 Soft Rice

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Soft Rice

Before returning to the classroom from the cafeteria at noon, Jiang Nian habitually buys a bottle of drink. Feeling embarrassed to drink alone, he buys a box of fruit milk for Li Qingrong.

That’s right, the almighty fruit milk, this stuff is generally a safe gift for girls.

If it backfires, just pretend I didn’t say that.

Li Qingrong looks at the campus player staple handed to her, eyes slightly drooping.

"Thanks."

"Yeah, no problem." Jiang Nian doesn’t think much of it and heads towards the teaching building, checking his task panel as he walks, which he hadn’t had the chance to look at closely during class.

After sitting down in the classroom, he has sorted out the contents of the system task.

Can’t deny, this system is really wicked.

Completing tasks requires spending money, and since he’s a high school student, he doesn’t spend much. Some tasks even have no cost at all, allowing Jiang Nian to save up quite a bit.

Another parallel universe’s... probably wouldn’t be so lucky. The principal amount in hand might only be two or three ten thousand left, and if it drops to one or two ten thousand, he’d probably cry.

Jiang Nian roughly calculates, he has fifty-seven thousand left, all given by the system. According to the task requirements, whatever amount is spent will be refunded thrice.

This means he spends fifty-seven thousand and gets back one hundred seventy-one thousand RMB.

At a high schooler’s age, what can you really spend on? Buy the largest bottle of eight-yuan iced tea. Top up a hundred yuan in an internet cafe, five yuan in the hall’s crappy machines to play to your heart’s content.

The cafeteria’s premium chicken leg meal is six yuan, the buffet outside the school’s West Gate is five or six yuan. The most expensive mineral water in the kiosk is seven yuan, and the handmade beef balls at the school gate are ten yuan.

Spending all fifty-seven thousand without a penny left, tsk, just the thought of it feels satisfying.

He suddenly realizes that this wealthy god system is truly irrational. It’s too much impact for a high schooler, after this task he could almost buy a car.

It severely tests his self-control, money can’t just not be spent nor can it be spent recklessly. Otherwise, it’s easy to lose the principal amount for the next task, ultimately making it not worth the losses.

Knowing what money should be spent, and what shouldn’t, in a way, is also sharpening his mind.

He thinks for a moment and writes down two lines on paper, starting a wish list. Last time he bought shoes for the family, this time clothes, and thinking about the family’s fixed expenses.

If there are major fixed expenses, then he should cover them himself. With any leftovers, consider updating appliances and save a personal budget of three thousand for himself, last time Xu Qianqian treated him to a movie...

Although he does enjoy freeloading, fishing still needs bait.

He drafts a list and places the paper into his backpack casually. Detailed actions will be considered during the holiday in a few days, for now, he can survive on a few days of freeloading meals.

Qianqian is the best!!

That’s right, Jiang Nian doesn’t plan to spend any more money, and his meal card is also running low. He’ll rely on Xu Qianqian for a few days, as he’s done this kind of thing before.

He’ll just reimburse her later, no loss for the system’s resources.

Afternoon physics, chemistry, and biology, covering review materials, the classes remain dull and boring. A row of people take turns standing at the back, the ceiling fan overhead creakily sways like a lullaby.

Evening study session, a group sneaks out of the classroom, standing in the hallway watching the sunset.

Li Hua has already emerged from the shadow of the noon’s gym class, enthusiastically asking.

"What’s your relationship with the class president?"

"Classmates."

Hearing this, Li Hua lets out a long sigh of relief.

"Don’t lie to a brother, okay."

Jiang Nian is still pondering how to deal with the afternoon meal, knowing he won’t find a trace of Xu Qianqian after school in the afternoon. The cafeteria competition is especially fierce in the afternoon.

He glances at Li Hua, suddenly realizing he could save this triple meal money.

"Do you like her?"

"How... how is that possible!" Li Hua immediately blushes, redder than the sunset, "I’m just curious about your relationship, she’s the class president!"

"Don’t want me dead, don’t... damn spread it everywhere!"

Jiang Nian nods thoughtfully, seeing Li Hua more and more like a six-yuan chicken leg meal. He pats Li Hua on the shoulder with an elusive voice.

"Hua, you wouldn’t want your secret crush on the class president to be known, right?"

"Damn you!"

After school in the evening, on the crowded stairs. The old toad Yu Tongjie, with a face full of frustration, follows the flow of people down, the dignity of being a third-year old seniority completely gone.

Handsome and gentle is a warm male, ugly and gentle is a burning goblin?

Yu Tongjie’s favorite anime character used to be Jiraiya from Fire Shadow, a dark horse turned success. Becoming a Miaomu Mountain’s heir, capable of summoning numerous toads.

He used to associate himself with Jiraiya, now he can only relate to the old toad.

Damn!

Glancing up occasionally, Yu Tongjie sees a familiar figure at the Olympic class door on the third floor, Jiang Nian is chatting with a pretty girl.

Zhang Ningzhi? Doesn’t seem like it, who is that?

How is Jiang Nian so flirtatious?

What the hell, man, why are you minding my private life? In the past life, were you a high-ranking eunuch?

Jiang Nian sees Yu Tongjie too, morons always stand out. But to say there’s hatred, not really, at most there’s friction among classmates, no deep-seated hatred.

Turning back, he asks.

"Xu Qianqian, lend me one hundred yuan."

"Call me mom." Xu Qianqian huffs, with a hint of annoyance, "If you don’t call, then don’t..."

"Mom."

"You... you..." Xu Qianqian gains a new understanding of Jiang Nian’s shamelessness, snapping fiercely, "Didn’t you earn a lot of money? Spent it all?"

"Don’t get into gambling, Aunt Li will break your hand if she finds out!"

"No, I plan to buy some winter clothes for them." Jiang Nian lies without batting an eye, "Calculating, last month’s earnings will all be needed."

"Oh, oh." Xu Qianqian then relaxes.

The two walk along the tree-lined path towards the school gate, the dim yellow light falling on the shoulders of the day students heading home, among the crowd, one tall and one short figure walk some distance apart.

"Hey, would one hundred be enough?" Xu Qianqian counts her fingers with her backpack, "Now there’re ten, twenty-one, two, three... twenty-three days left until the month’s end."

"Yeah, can you spare me a bit more?"

"Let me see how much is left, as long as you don’t starve." Xu Qianqian eagerly takes out her phone from her backpack, "The little treasury can’t be touched, there’s eight hundred twenty-six yuan and three cents left this month."

Jiang Nian’s eyelids jump, knowing this doesn’t include meal card money.

"Rich loli! How much is hidden in the little treasury?"

"Who’s a loli?" Xu Qianqian is displeased, "Pervert guy."

"You’re shorter than me so you are." Jiang Nian has already walked out of the school gate, "Your pocket money lasts longer than my life, if you’re not a rich loli, who is?"

"Humph, you’re much richer than I am, don’t think I don’t know!" Xu Qianqian flips her ponytail, "Won’t lend you, find someone else, starve to death."

"If I starve, I’ll look after your room before the seventh night." Jiang Nian feels no remorse, "When you fall asleep, I’ll hang on the ceiling watching you."

Xu Qianqian shrinks her neck instantly, "Go to hell! Jiang Nian!"
