Chapter 21: Poverty Makes Me Desire To Be Rich
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a day of studying, Feng Qi returned to his dormitory.
In the morning, he studied the basics of cultivation in the library, and in the afternoon, he exchange ideas about the basics of the Ferocious Tiger Fist with Lin Ran.
Facing Lin Ran’s questions, he couldn’t escape and could only brace himself to answer.
Fortunately, Lin Ran did not ask about anything other than the Ferocious Tiger Fist, so there was no awkward situation where he could not answer.
After turning on the lights, he sat down at the desk and began to think about a problem.
How can I enter the dream again?
If he could not enter the dream, he would not be able to improve his strength. Saving the world was be even more impossible. Perhaps one day in his twenties, he would welcome his end of dying young.
Therefore, entering the future dream was very important.
He guessed that the energy progress bar might be the key to entering the future dream.
However, the problem was how to quickly fill the energy bar.
He did not have Mu Qing’s digestion speed. If he relied on food to replenish his energy, his progress would be too slow.
Feng Qi had calculated that when he was full, he could replenish 0.2 to 0.4% of his energy per meal. It would take 250 to 500 meals to fill up his energy.
Even if he ate five meals a day, it would take two to three months before he could enter the dream again.
Therefore, he urgently needed other things that could replenish his body’s energy.
At this thought, he opened his tablet and began to browse a shopping website, looking for food that could help him quickly replenish his energy.
After entering the keyword “replenish energy” in the website, a list of products appeared.
[T-33 Energy Bar]:

[Linglong Fruit], [Evil Spirit Rune Crystal], [Hundred Refinement Flower]…
…
There were many items that could quickly replenish energy, but their prices were generally ridiculously high.
However, Feng Qi could understand why these items were so expensive. It was because they all came from the dangerous domain fields. The warriors of the domain combat teams had risked their lives to bring them out.
After pondering, Feng Qi gritted his teeth and pulled the [T-33 Energy Bar], [Nine-Colored Flower], and [Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal] into the shopping cart.
After facial recognition, the notification of a successful purchase appeared.
He glanced at the bottom right corner. He still had more than two million points left after deducting the purchase fee.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was so poor. The money left behind by his parents to could barely last if he wanted to buy items from the domain fields.
Actually, Feng Qi’s parents were originally quite rich when they fought in the domain fields.
After all, they lived a life of bloodshed. Every month, they would have a guaranteed income of 500,000 points. If the gains were good, they would have an additional income.
However, most of their income was spent on updating various equipment or buying special energy liquids and other items that could increase their strength. Therefore, the money they sent to Feng Qi every month was not much.
Until his parents went missing, he had saved more than three million yuan.
He was usually frugal and did not have any big expenses. He felt that this sum of money was enough to support him until he graduated from the academy.
However, after looking at the prices of various energy supplements on the shopping website, he was shocked.
Thinking about how he would need to replenish his energy every time he entered the future dream in the future, the remaining two million points was clearly not enough.
At this moment, he had the thought of making money.
As for how to earn money, Feng Qi did not have any ideas for the time being. He decided that the next time he entered the future dream, he would look up information about this and see if there was a business opportunity to become rich overnight.
For example, lottery numbers, business opportunities, and so on.
In short, money had to come quickly.
As for working, he would never work. After all, the money earned from working was not enough to satisfy his energy needs. Therefore, even if he starved to death and could not enter the dream, he would never work.
His best option was to become rich overnight.
Moreover, he was not the male lead who would pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger in novels. He always liked to hide himself and keep a low profile. He clearly had the ability, but he still had to work to earn money.
Feng Qi felt that if he wanted to become a publicly acknowledged super genius, he should act in a high-profile manner. The same went for earning money.
Always thinking about keeping a low profile, developing while hiding oneself, always ambushing, and pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Those were not things that a decent person with a hack could do. Such actions could be summarized in one word: lowly.
Young people should be young and impetuous!
…
The next morning, the items ordered by Feng Qi were delivered to the entrance of the academy. Then, they were sent to his dormitory by the academy’s security guards.
After taking the packages from the security guard, Feng Qi closed the door and began to open them.
There were a total of three packages.
He first took out the T-33 Energy Bar that was put in a glass bottle.
He took a bite. The texture was slightly hard, but it quickly melted in his mouth. The taste was very strange. It was neither delicious nor bad tasting. After swallowing it, he could feel his stomach begin to churn violently, and his body temperature rose.
He summoned the energy progress bar and saw that his energy was being replenished by 0.1% every second.
However, after about 50 seconds, the progress bar slowed down until it stopped.
In comparison, the effect was several times stronger than ordinary food.
Then, he stuffed the remaining energy bar into his mouth and chewed and swallowed it. After waiting for a moment, the energy bar finally stopped at 5.84%.
The entire energy bar only replenished 5.3% of energy.
However, Feng Qi was not too surprised. After all, the main function of the energy bar was to replenish energy consumption. It was already good that it could have such an effect without eating a lot of food.
Then, he opened the second package and took out the Nine-Colored Flower.
The petals of this Nine-Colored Flower had nine colors. After it was brought out, the entire dormitory was filled with a faint fragrance of flower. Although it had left the soil, the flower did not wither. Its entire body was still emitting a hazy white light.
Under normal circumstances, the spiritual plants brought out from a domain field should be refined and concocted by an alchemist. The effect would be the best.
This was because many plants in the domain field had domineering medicinal effects. If one ate them directly, it would cause damage to the body. However, after being mediated by an alchemist, there would not be such a problem. In fact, after neutralizing the medicinal effects with different spiritual plants, there would even be an effect of 1+1>2.
However, medicinal liquids concocted by alchemists were expensive and were generally twice as expensive as those to be directly consumed.
Therefore, Feng Qi decisively gave up on this option and stuffed the Nine-Colored Flower into his mouth.
As he chewed, a rich medicinal fragrance spread through his nose and mouth. His pores relaxed as if he was bathing in warm sunlight. He felt comfortable all over.
The energy progress bar also jumped, increasing by 0.1% every second.
Five minutes later, the energy progress bar stopped moving. The percentage finally stopped at 31.5%.
The Nine-Colored Flower’s medicinal effect was strong, but it was still unable to fill up the energy bar. He was greatly disappointed.
The total price of the energy bar and the Nine-Colored Flower was close to 200,000 points. If he had to spend so much every day in the future, he did not dare to imagine it. Just thinking about it made him feel poor.
Finally, Feng Qi turned his gaze to a gray crystal in the metal box. It was the Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal that he had spent 880,000 points on.
