The crisp morning sunlight spilled across Huaxia University's campus. Students bustled around with coffee cups and textbooks in hand, their chatter filling the air.
Lin Feng walked among them, quiet and calm, yet his heart burned with newfound determination.
Inside his pocket, his phone buzzed.
> [Ding! Supreme Life System Mission Available]
[Mission: Execute a low-risk investment using provided knowledge.]
[Reward: 5,000 yuan. Additional Reward: Financial Knowledge Module (Basic).]
[Time Limit: 12 hours.]
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Investment?
Immediately, streams of financial data, stock charts, and analysis techniques flooded his mind. It was as if he had studied under the greatest economists for years. Every line of data became crystal clear.
He ducked into the library and opened his laptop. His fingers danced across the keys, executing trades with precision.
By the time he leaned back, a notification appeared on his screen—his balance had skyrocketed by 5,000 yuan.
He exhaled slowly. So this is the power of the Supreme Life System.
> [Mission complete. Reward granted.]
[5,000 yuan transferred to host's account.]
[Financial Knowledge Module integrated.]
Lin Feng stared at the new number in his account. His lips curled upward. Yesterday, he couldn't even afford dinner. Today, he had more than enough to eat for months.

That afternoon, in the cafeteria, Chen Hao swaggered in, surrounded by his usual group of sycophants. Zhao Xue walked beside him, her expression faintly troubled as her eyes swept the hall.
Chen Hao's voice boomed across the room. "Brothers, order whatever you want. My treat! Unlike some people, I don't need to count pennies before buying a meal."
His gaze landed on Lin Feng, who sat alone at a corner table with a simple meal. Smirking, Chen Hao continued loudly, "Some people should understand their place. A poor boy can't afford to keep a girlfriend. Isn't that right, Lin Feng?"
Snickers rippled through the cafeteria.
Lin Feng didn't even raise his head. Instead, he pulled out his phone and walked to the counter.
"Boss, I'll pay for everyone in the cafeteria today."
The room went silent.
The cashier blinked. "S-student, are you serious?"
Lin Feng slid his card across the counter, his expression calm. "Swipe it."
The transaction went through. Instantly, chatter erupted.
"What? He just paid for all of us!?"
"Isn't he the poor scholarship kid? Where did he get the money?"
"No way… did he win the lottery!?"
Chen Hao's smirk vanished, his face stiffening as whispers filled the hall. Even Zhao Xue's eyes widened, disbelief flashing within them.
Lin Feng turned back, his gaze cold.
"Chen Hao, money doesn't decide everything. But don't think you're the only one who can afford it."
For the first time, Chen Hao's arrogance faltered.

That night, alone in his dorm, Lin Feng stared at his phone balance, his fists clenched.
This is just the beginning. If a few simple missions can change so much… then with the Supreme Life System, I'll rise higher than anyone can imagine.
The System's voice echoed once more, calm yet carrying boundless promise:
> [New Mission unlocked: Establish a profitable venture within 7 days.]
[Reward: 50,000 yuan. Additional Reward: Skill Module – Entrepreneurship (Intermediate).]
Lin Feng's lips curled into a sharp smile.
"A business, huh? Fine. Let's see how far I can climb."
