9: Chapter 9 Methods of Making Money

He glanced at his Attribute Panel.

His Intelligence had increased from 108 at the time of his rebirth to 112.

A very good improvement!

Zhao Yang could clearly feel that his brain's processing speed had become significantly faster.

Then there was the task.

After more than ten days of hard grinding, Zhao Yang finally finished studying the feynman lectures on physics, which was worth 50 points.

Currently, he was desperately studying Electromagnetism. He was halfway through and had earned over seventy points of value.

There was still quite some time left before reaching one thousand points.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yang felt a bit helpless.

At the current pace, it might be difficult to complete this task during the entire summer break!

He could only do his best.

At this moment, Zhao Yang suddenly remembered the ker brand stimulant.

Its description stated that it improved various bodily functions by fifteen percent. Since the system's description said so, it naturally included the brain.

If brain function improved by fifteen percent, wouldn't the effect be excellent?

However, there were some side effects after using this stimulant. It lasted for two hours, after which one would fall into a state of exhaustion.

It was best to use it at night.

Zhao Yang decided to try it tonight. Coincidentally, the College Entrance Examination results were coming out tomorrow, and according to the school's requirements, he had to go there.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Yang temporarily set aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He continued reading Electromagnetism.

Electromagnetism is a paradigm that starts from experimental phenomena and achieves perfect theoretical unification through profound physical insight and exquisite mathematical generalization.

Starting from the two seemingly independent phenomena of "electricity" and "magnetism," Electromagnetism reveals that they are essentially two sides of the same thing—the electromagnetic field—which can propagate in the form of waves, serving as the cornerstone and foundation of the information age.

In essence, Electromagnetism is one of the subjects in Physics where Physics and mathematics are most closely integrated.

Zhao Yang wasn't very familiar with much of the mathematical content, so he had to consult some mathematical resources.

This also led to a surge in Zhao Yang's Mathematics experience.

Evening arrived.

Zhao Yang stood up and stretched.

Although he had been obsessed with grinding subject experience these days, he also knew that health was very important.

The body is the capital of revolution!

Time to go out and exercise!

Zhao Yang went downstairs and jogged for a while.

At night.

At ten o'clock, Zhao Yang used the ker brand stimulant on time.

The moment he used it, Zhao Yang clearly felt himself becoming extremely excited, a very noticeable state.

Not only did his brain's processing speed increase significantly, but even his senses, including the perception of all his skin, received a comprehensive boost.

Truly powerful!

Stimulants on Earth could absolutely never reach this level!

After marveling for a while, Zhao Yang continued to grind experience!

"Ding! Physics experience +1!"

"Ding! Mathematics experience +1!"

...

Without accumulating small streams, one cannot form rivers and seas; without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles!

Under the premise of having clear gains and a progress bar.

What was originally dull and boring study now seemed to Zhao Yang to have the thrill of leveling up and killing monsters.

And it was leveling up and killing monsters in the real world!

It felt really great!

Until twelve o'clock!

As soon as the stimulant's effect wore off, Zhao Yang instantly became listless.

His previously excited brain now became somewhat sluggish.

His overall state also became exceptionally drained.

Time to sleep!

Zhao Yang closed his book, finished washing up, and went to bed.

The next day was the day the results were released.

Zhao Yang didn't have much expectation.

Their school had teachers to assist with filling out university applications, so on the day the College Entrance Examination results came out, the students had to return to school.

To pick up a Guidebook for Filling Out Applications and to ask teachers if they had any questions.

Originally, Zhao Yang wasn't planning to return to school, but he thought about it for a bit.

He was originally a prominent figure, a candidate for Tsinghua and Peking University, but since he only scored over 530 points, the teachers would definitely pay attention.

If he didn't go to school... maybe the teachers would even come to his house specifically to persuade him to repeat the year!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yang could only sigh and put away his books.

He went downstairs and walked towards the school.

"Brother Yang!"

At ten in the morning, the results were already out, and many students were heading to school. Zhao Yang soon ran into an acquaintance.

"Wang Ming."

Zhao Yang looked at the person in front of him, and a name instantly popped into his mind: his childhood friend, Wang Ming.

They had been in the same class in elementary and middle school. In high school, because of his excellent grades, Zhao Yang entered the Elite Class of Changcheng No. 1 High School.

Wang Ming's grades weren't as good. Although he barely made it into Changcheng No. 1 High School, it was only in a Regular Class.

Zhao Yang remembered that Wang Ming's College Entrance Examination results were very poor, seemingly not reaching the Undergraduate Cutoff Line, and he ended up going to a Vocational College.

Due to the distance, they gradually drifted apart later on.

In his previous life, Wang Ming had a very hard time. He heard that after he graduated from college, his parents' Garment Factory performed poorly and went bankrupt.

He also started his own business, but it ended up being a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. As a result, the debt hole grew larger and larger, and eventually, he was forced to borrow money from his elementary and high school classmates.

In the end, his reputation was ruined, and he eventually vanished...

However, he had never come to Zhao Yang to borrow money.

Memories of Wang Ming surfaced in his mind.

Zhao Yang felt a bit sentimental. He hadn't noticed back then, but thinking about it now, Wang Ming must have felt the gap between them growing wider and wider, so he deliberately distanced himself!

"Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for over ten days. I heard you had a high fever during the College Entrance Examination. How are you doing now? Are you okay?"

Wang Ming asked while looking at Zhao Yang.

"I'm okay, my health mostly recovered a few days ago."

Zhao Yang said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Wang Ming hesitated for a moment.

"Brother Yang, I heard you got a fever in the exam room. Doesn't that mean you messed up the exam this time? Are you planning to repeat the year?"

Wang Ming looked at Zhao Yang curiously.

"No."

Zhao Yang shook his head.

Looking at Wang Ming, Zhao Yang's heart suddenly stirred.

He suddenly had an idea to make money!

"A-Ming, is your parents' Garment Factory doing well?"

Zhao Yang asked with a slight smile, looking at Wang Ming.

"It's... it's okay. But Brother Yang, why are you asking this? You never used to ask before!"

Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion as he looked at Zhao Yang.

"It's nothing, just asking! Take me to your family's factory tomorrow, I have something to do."

"Oh, okay!"

Wang Ming was still a bit puzzled. Looking at Zhao Yang, he didn't understand why Zhao Yang suddenly mentioned his family's factory.

That's right! Zhao Yang was planning to start a Taobao Online Store!

Selling clothes!

It was 2008, and Taobao Online Store was still in an explosive growth phase. At this time, running a Taobao Online Store could be said to be very easy!

To the extent that you could sell goods just by opening any shop and putting them up.
