Making Money Just By Breathing - Chapter 5.1: The Beginning of the Road to Riches

Wang Yan’s mood was ecstatic and excited, trembling with excitement all over.

As a high school graduate, everything outside of the thing that he had studied was still a mystery to him.

Society, society, always on everyone’s lips, but which high school student really knows which way the door to society opens?

Yesterday, he was carefree playing games, and today he’s about to burst out of the ivory tower to do big business. How could he not be excited!

The only downside is that it’s too much trouble, and one person might not be able to handle it all.

Immediately, Wang Yan thought of finding someone to help.

But then he thought again: No way! Who would join me in this madness?

Wang Yonglei, Zhang Yin, and those guys, even if they came, wouldn’t add much chaos.

Brother Xizi is reliable, but he has a job.

As for his parents… forget it, rather than sharing his hardship, it would be better for him to just share his joy with them instead.

In the end, he can only do it by himself.

Wang Yan is fearless as a new calf, realizing he can only rely on himself. He immediately restrains his thoughts and starts making plans.

As his thoughts gradually become clearer, Wang Yan’s attitude becomes more and more determined.

It must be done!

There are three reasons for this.

Firstly, the Habit Cultivation Device must be obtained.

Although Wang Yan is completely ignorant and only half-understands the power of habits, there is an urgent sense in his heart: Don’t miss out!

The mystery and power of the system make Wang Yan firmly believe that habit cultivation is definitely not as simple as washing hands before meals.

If he can get it, three good habits will undoubtedly greatly benefit his future life.

Secondly, it allows for an early upgrade of the system.

Every extra 2,800 yuan earned allows the system to be upgraded one day earlier.

Saving one day means an additional 2,800 yuan in breathing wages, equivalent to additional earnings.

The money is not much, but in games, there’s a term called “snowballing.”

It means: establish a slight advantage early on, stay ahead all the way, and continuously expand the results, accumulating them gradually to form a crushing situation.

The same applies to upgrading the system.

Upgrading two days early at level 2, maybe five days early at level 3, and fifteen days early at level 4…

The early stages are so important.

Furthermore, Wang Yan has considered the selling prices of items in the mall.

In the future, there won’t be any discounts for newcomers, and the prices could easily reach 300,000, or even 500,000 or 1 million.

Without additional income, relying solely on breathing wages to save up, it’s likely he won’t even know if he can accumulate enough by the time school starts.

How many good things will he miss out on in the meantime?!

Wang Yan is quite greedy and wants everything.

Since there’s an opportunity, he’ll work hard to give it his all, exert more subjective initiative, and maybe there will be many surprises.

Thirdly, it’s a form of self-discipline.

Getting the Rich Man System doesn’t automatically turn him into a rich man.

As a high school senior who grew up in an urban village, with a strong air of poverty, if not now, then when should he toughen up?

Enduring hardships and suffering, there’s nothing to fear!

Success has benefits, failure has no consequences, it’s challenging yet completely safe…

Isn’t it interesting?

With such compelling reasons, let’s go!

…

So, first, he needs to perfect all the details.

The first step is to calculate the available funds.

Just over 2,000, pitifully low.

Even if he disregards everything else and only uses it to buy goods, he’ll only get a little over 2,000 kilograms of watermelon at most.

With such a small amount of startup capital, it’s really tough!

But it’s okay, Wang Yan has a solution.

The second step is to confirm the source of goods.

There’s no need to think about it; the watermelons definitely come from Wang’s family field.

Not only is his hometown especially suitable for growing melons, but the melon farmers are all distant relatives, so Wang Yan can pick whatever he wants.

To fully utilize the effect of the “Gourmet Intuition,” he must personally pick the melons in the field; he can’t rely on others.

Furthermore, the most important thing about picking melons in his hometown is that he can… buy on credit!

Wang Yan’s uncle and grandmother still haven’t moved out of Wang’s family field. With about thirty households in total, the elderly lady holds significant status and is well-connected.

Taking a cart of watermelons to sell and settling the bill afterwards is no big deal; anyone would give him face.

The third step is to arrange transportation.

Wang Yan just got his driver’s license, so driving isn’t an issue. But where to get the car from requires careful consideration.

What if he rent a car?
