Chapter 49: 47, resell second-hand, set off to Saturn

At noon, Lu Lin ate at the Guide Association canteen and received 3,000 yuan from the Association’s finance department.

This was the subsidy from the Association for Guiding Star Skills in seven high schools over three days.

One thousand yuan a day; not too bad.

After returning home, Lu Lin checked his current account balance: 207,900.45 yuan.

One hundred thousand yuan was a reward from the Tongyuan Police Station for completing the robber mission. Another one hundred thousand yuan was from the genius reward fund, which the principal of Golden Sword High School had managed to secure. The 3,000 yuan was the subsidy just issued by the Star Skill Instructor Subdivision, and the remaining four thousand-odd yuan was what Lu Lin had saved over the years.

After living on Blue Star for six years and only saving 4,900 yuan, Lu Lin didn’t know what to think.

Now, with a hefty sum of 200,000 yuan, Lu Lin had two choices on how to spend it.

The first was to buy a ticket back to Saturn.

In the Star Skill Era, travel between planets in the solar system seemed much more convenient for humans. However, this was only true for the rich; Interstellar Battleship fees, ranging from 200,000-300,000 yuan to even millions, were unaffordable for ordinary people.

That was why, in his six years on Blue Star, Lu Lin had only returned to Saturn once—after graduating from Junior High School.

The second option was to repay part of his Blue Star Student Loans in advance.

Six years ago, to enable Lu Lin to study on Blue Star, his parents had not only used all their savings of 300,000 yuan, accumulated over many years, but had also taken out a loan for one million yuan.

Throughout these years, the entire Lu family had lived frugally, just to make the monthly loan payments.

If Lu Lin used 200,000 yuan to repay the loan, it would also reduce some of the pressure on his parents.

After some consideration, Lu Lin decided to first buy a discounted ticket back to Saturn.

Three years ago, while handling the second stage of his student loan at Deep Space Bank, he had luckily won a ticket back to Saturn in a lottery.

But now, he didn’t believe he still had such good luck.

After browsing the official website of "Walker" Airlines for a long time, Lu Lin finally snagged a deal on a ticket that cost only 160,000 yuan. It had no window, no bed, and no Star Power-assisted cultivation formation—only a soft seat and three days and two nights of buffet meals.

Place the order!

Lu Lin nervously watched the interface until the words "Purchase Successful" appeared, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Such heavily discounted tickets weren’t usually easy to come by.

Especially since it was currently the graduation season for Blue Star’s junior highs, high schools, and various universities; to snag such a deal, Lu Lin considered himself incredibly fortunate.

At that very moment, who knew how many other people were vying for the same ticket.

The distance from Tongyuan to North Capital, the departure station for the Interstellar Battleship, was still over a thousand kilometers.

To ensure he could catch the Starship back home on time, Lu Lin had to leave a day in advance. He would first take a high-speed train to Central Liao River in the Northeast District, and then take an airplane to North Capital.

After arriving in North Capital, he could also take the opportunity to visit the old campus headquarters of North Capital University.

When Lu Lin had first arrived on Blue Star years ago, his father, Lu Ping, had deeply yearned to visit North Capital University. According to his dad, the Lu family had once boasted scholars from North Capital University, but subsequent generations hadn’t lived up to that legacy. Now, they were farming on Saturn, unable even to afford a ticket for a trip to Blue Star.

After planning his itinerary, Lu Lin began to sort out his belongings at home.

He planned to leave the little robot.

When his parents came to live on Blue Star in the future, having a little robot to cook and clean would save his mom a lot of trouble.

Additionally, there were his bedsheets and quilts, some clothes, and the various certificates, trophies, and medals he had received during his school years.

Previously, his parents had only been able to see these things in photos; once they arrived, they could look at them every day.

There were also three pairs of dumbbells—10 kg, 30 kg, and 50 kg—that Lu Lin had bought from "Xiao Yu," a Secondhand Sale Website under QingShan Network.

Now that Lu Lin had become a Star Core Warrior, his physical strength had been tempered by Star Power. These light-weight dumbbells were no longer useful to him, so it was a good time to sell them on Xiao Yu.

When listing them for sale, Lu Lin had a flash of inspiration and came up with some eye-catching titles to sell them faster.

"’Exclusive for Graduates with XX Awakening Talent: Daily Exercise Dumbbells. Increases Chance of Awakening! For those in the know.’"

"’Special Wooden Sword for Earth Talent Awakeners. Lucky Aura +1!’"

"’Lucky School Uniform! Golden Sword High School Awakener’s Uniform!’"

After crafting several catchy titles, Lu Lin also posted his College Entrance Exam results in the listing as proof.

As expected, within minutes, his inbox was flooded with messages.

The ’Awakening’ dumbbells sold for 188 yuan, 388 yuan, and 588 yuan, respectively.

The wooden sword, imbued with Earth Element Star Power, sold for 350 yuan.

The most expensive item, the Golden Sword High School uniform, sold for 1,288 yuan.

The buyer who purchased Lu Lin’s uniform even asked if the shoes Lu Lin had worn on the day of his Awakening were available, stating he was willing to pay a high price for them.

After pondering, Lu Lin sold the shoes for 888 yuan.

His mom had bought these shoes at the QingShan Mall for over 200 yuan. Boosted by the hype of his successful Awakening, selling them for 888 yuan wasn’t expensive at all.

Lu Lin hadn’t expected this to be so easy. He looked around at his other possessions but ultimately decided not to sell anything else.

The thought of someone else sleeping under his quilt made Lu Lin a bit uncomfortable.

After selling the items, Lu Lin received 3,690 yuan. He spent a little over 100 yuan to ship them using a Hovering Delivery Robot. He couldn’t help but marvel at his own sales genius.

Even if he hadn’t Awakened, he probably could have made a good living in the Human Federation.

Pleased with his success, Lu Lin informed his mom and dad, Zuo Yiming, Zuo Zhenyu, Luo Ling, Class Teacher Li, the Zhou Ziqiang siblings, Jiang Yueming, Secretary Hou, Jiang Ye from the Guide Association, Wang Kang, and many other familiar friends and classmates about booking his ticket.

After sending out all the messages, Lu Lin realized his social circle had grown surprisingly large.

For the previous six years, Lu Lin had been largely unknown, focusing quietly on his cultivation.

But ever since his Awakening, it felt as though he had become famous overnight.

Whether at the Governor’s Mansion, the Guide Association, or various high schools, the people he now interacted with were all high-level figures.

...

「The next morning.」

Lu Lin turned off the small robot and left a note with instructions on how to restart it.

Taking one last look at the room he had lived in for six years, Lu Lin turned and left.

Zuo Yiming was already waiting in his car outside the residential complex and was surprised when Lu Lin emerged.

"Damn, Old Lu! I never realized that when you clean up a bit, your looks are only a tiny bit worse than mine!"

As he spoke, Zuo Yiming reached out to touch Lu Lin’s hair, which he had styled with wax, but Lu Lin slapped his hand away.

"Get lost."

"You were only crowned the number one heartthrob at Golden Sword High because I let you have it."

"Let’s go."

Zuo Yiming didn’t mind. He set the destination and started chatting with Lu Lin in the car.

"Old Lu, when are you planning to go to the alien planet?"

"My dad wants me to get familiar with it as soon as possible, so I might be leaving on the 20th."

Zuo Yiming and Luo Ling had applied to Hua Xia Police Officer College, whose campus wasn’t on Blue Star but on an alien planet.

Ever since the discovery of the alien planet, almost all universities and colleges on Blue Star had relocated or established larger branch campuses on the Exoplanet.

Everyone knew that the alien planet and the Exotic Battlefield represented the future direction of human development.

Moreover, the Exotic Battlefield was vast beyond measure; even after a thousand years of exploration, humans had only managed to establish eight cities within it.

There was definitely great potential to be found in the Exotic Battlefield.

"I’m not sure, but it should be soon," Lu Lin said, his gaze falling upon the Tongyuan High-speed Rail Station, which had already come into view.
