"It's wonderful that young people like you are starting businesses. We have many students with great academic records like you who start businesses every year, but who among them has caused as much trouble as you have? Where do you expect the school to put its face?"
"Loan companies come to the school every day looking for you to repay them. If they can't find you, they will look for your professors. They also spray graffiti all over the place and put up banners. We have to send more than a dozen security guards to clean up every day, do you understand?"
"Hmph! Today, your creditors even hired people to shout at the school with loudspeakers to ask for their debts back, which has seriously disrupted the teaching order, do you know that?" In the principal's office of Seacity University, Principal Li Yongqing was giving a furious glare at Gao Yuan, a senior student. The bulging veins on his forehead and his rounded eyes were all expressing his extreme rage.
"Principal, I'm sorry..." Gao Yuan didn't look into Li Yongqing's eyes, but lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, "I didn't expect my research results to be stolen, I have found some clues, it's very likely that one of my classmates is the perpetrator, as long as I..."
"I don't care whether you've found out or not!" Li Yongqing waved his hand and exclaimed. "I called you here today to get your explanation. All you need to do is tell me, when will you stop your creditors from causing trouble in the school!"
"Considering your situation of being orphaned..." Before Gao Yuan could speak, Li Yongqing sighed deeply and continued. "I'll give you three days, if this happens again, don't come back to school, take a leave! Whenever you pay off your debts, you can continue your studies."
"Okay!" Gao Yuan clenched his teeth and suddenly looked up at the principal. "Thank you, Principal!"
With that, Gao Yuan turned around and walked outwards with tired steps.
"What a pity..." Watching his back, Li Yongqing shook his head, lost in thought.
"Look, here comes the tech wizard from the principal's office!"
"Oh, please! What tech wizard! He owes the microfinance companies over ten million now, he looks just like a dog."
"Exactly, wasn't he very cocky before? Applying all sorts of patents with great ado, now isn't he saddled with a huge debt?"
"Sshh... keep it down."
Gao Yuan had just walked downstairs when he heard a series of mocking comments. Some of his classmates, who used to flatter him whenever they saw him, were now jeering non-stop. He glanced at these ugly faces, gritted his teeth, but in the end didn't respond. He turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
All he wanted now was to take a good bath and think about how to deal with his massive debt.
There were six of them in a single dormitory, all classmates of Gaoyuan. As he opened the door, his roommates, who had been living together for nearly four years, all turned their heads to look at him. Their animated conversation abruptly ceased and everyone instinctively stopped what they were doing.
Gaoyuan was no longer the top student recognized by the school at this point, but rather like a rat crossing the street, trying to evade his debts. Outside of the comforting gaze bestowed on him by his close friends, Zhang Liang and Zhang Yaoyang, everyone else didn’t utter any mocking words, but the ridicule was abundantly evident on their faces.
Gaoyuan chuckled at himself and walked over to his bed, took off his shoes, and began to rummage for his toiletries. Taking a deep breath, he walked into the bathroom with his things.
There were only a few people who came into contact with the core content of the software. Who had leaked the data?
As he showered, Gaoyuan pondered on this question, his mind somewhat distracted.
"Clang!" At this moment, a slight cracking noise sounded as his mobile phone accidentally dropped into the ceramic washbasin filled with water. Gaoyuan quickly retrieved it and wiped it dry with a towel before pressing the power button.
"Ding! The Ultimate Inheritance System has been activated!"
"Binding with the host, progress 1%..."
"13%..."
"39%..."
"99%..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host. The Ultimate Inheritance System has been successfully binded. I will forever serve the host!"
Just as Gaoyuan pressed the power button, he felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted, a tingling sensation that quickly disappeared. Subsequently, a series of synthetic electronic sounds echoed in his brain, giving him a surreal feeling and he wondered, who was speaking? What system service?
He really must be overworking himself, now he's even experiencing a mental split!
Gaoyuan helplessly shook his head and checked whether his phone could still function properly.
"Host, I'm the one who's talking!" The voice sounded again, "I am the strongest inheritance system!"
"You..." Gao Yuan widened his eyes and looked around, frowning. He spoke in a low voice, "Where are you?"
"Host, I'm in your mind!" The synthesized voice explained, "The host doesn't have to speak out loud, just communicate with me through your thoughts!"
"Now, let me introduce the basic situation to the host!"
As the voice of the system rang out, Gao Yuan immediately leaned against the wall, his whole body trembling as if he had seen a ghost.
Before him, a green virtual screen appeared abruptly. The lines of text on it immediately caught his eye.
Host:【Gao Yuan】
Age:【20 years old】
Physique:【105, the physique of a normal adult is 90-100】
Martial Skills:【None at the moment】
Remaining Points:【100 points】
"What use is this inheritance system?" Being a scholar who loves technology and often reads novels, Gao Yuan quickly understood and came to terms with this miraculous event happening to him. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in his mind the question he was most concerned about.
"The aim of this system is unlimited spending. As long as the host spends to a certain degree, you can earn system points. These points can be used to inherit larger quantities of money!" The system's reply made Gao Yuan feel somewhat exaggerated. "As long as the host has enough points to exchange, there is no wealth that the system can't inherit!"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan's mouth twitched, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "How much money can I inherit right now?"
"For the first inheritance, the host needs to initiate it. Whomever you randomly draw will be the wealth you inherit. Of course, the existing 100 system points will also be deducted!"
"As soon as you activate the host, a lawyer will bring an inheritance contract within one hour. After signing, it will take effect immediately. Would you like to start now?"
"Activate now!" Gao Yuan responded without hesitation.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on inheriting one billion yuan, a lawyer will arrive within one hour!" Three seconds later, the system's voice sounded. "The system has detected the host's bank card, and the inherited money will be transferred to this card soon!"
"Is it really one billion yuan?" Gao Yuan furrowed his brows, skeptical.
"Yes, host, please wait patiently!"
"Okay, I'll wait!" Gao Yuan, her heart pounding with excitement, got dressed and walked out the door, his face brimming with smiles that puzzled his roommates.
Gao Yuan didn't care anymore, he delightfully got dressed, whistled as he walked out of the bathroom, blow-dried his hair under the bewildered gaze of his roomies, and then swung open the door to leave.
Li Li is Gao Yuan's girlfriend and his first love. He needs to quickly share this enormous surprise with her face to face. He has been avoiding her these days since he was deep in debt, she must have been terribly worried about him.
"Click!" As Gao Yuan was about to open the door, the latch turned from the outside, and an attractive girl pushed open the door and walked in.
