Since I've already time-traveled, of course I'm going to take the shortcut!

Chapter 6 Determining Your Own Profession

Xu Pingan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "Since yesterday afternoon, people in the group have been saying that you've been targeted by a rich woman, and someone even posted a picture of you getting into a red sports car with a woman."

After saying that, he rushed up to Lü Yao, grabbed Lü Yao's shoulder, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Da Yao! How could you do such a thing!"

Lü Yao chuckled: "So what?"

Xu Pingan was frustrated.

He admitted it.

He admitted it without hesitation!

And he even asked me with a straight face, "So what?"

Xu Ping'an frowned, heartbroken, and said, "How can you throw away your innocence for a little money?"

Lu Yao almost burst out laughing when he saw this.

This is a classic case of someone who's afraid their brother is suffering, yet also afraid their brother is driving a Land Rover. Especially if that Land Rover was bought for you by a beautiful, elegant, and wealthy woman... that would make any brother grit his teeth in frustration.

Lu Yao broke free from Xu Ping'an's grasp and said, "What do you mean by 'I don't care about my innocence'? I didn't steal or rob; I earned my money through my own physical labor. What's shameful about that?"

As he spoke, Lü Yao sat down at his table, placed the car keys and supplementary card that Lin Meiting had given him on the table, and said, "Don't worry, guys, from now on I'll steal money from rich women to buy you iced tea."

Xu Ping'an's eyes nearly rolled back to the sky: "I may be feeling down, but it's not like I need you to steal money from rich women to support me."

As he spoke, he leaned against Lü Yao and sighed, "Hey, you've really had a sudden epiphany! None of the other guys in our dorm have your luck."

Another roommate chimed in, "Yeah, we don't even know if we'll pass the campus recruitment."

After thinking for a moment, Lü Yao suddenly said to Xu Ping'an, "I do have a way to make money."

Xu Pingan got excited: "Your rich sister has other good friends? Da Yao, you know me, I can give up my innocence! I can earn money through manual labor too!"

Lu Yao kicked him and yelled, "Get lost!"

He raised his hand as if holding a cigarette, and Xu Ping'an immediately took out a pack of Furongwang cigarettes from his body and handed it over as an offering.

After Lü Yao took out a cigarette and had Xu Pingan light it, he said leisurely, "I remember you have a lot of girls in your friend list, right? Here's what you do: send a message in the list saying that you have a group where you can help female students find work as models, but there's a fee to join the group: 50 yuan per person."

Xu Pingan raised an eyebrow: "That's it?"

Lu Yao glanced at the guy: "What's the rush? Once there are more girls in the group, you can use a secondary account or have the other guys in the dorm work together to post a model recruitment notice in the group, saying that you need model cards to apply. These female students probably don't have many model cards, right? At that time, you can say that you have a channel to help them take model cards, 500 yuan a set."

The others in the dorm were also getting hooked, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but say, "But we don't know how to take photos either."

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "You can go to art galleries, forest parks, and other places where veteran photographers often hang out. Tell them you have free models and they can take photos for you, but you'll have to pay three or five hundred."

At this point, the roommates were already a little stunned.

Is this even allowed?

Xu Pingan asked suspiciously, "Isn't this still a lie? Isn't it a bit too unethical?"

Lu Yao chuckled, "Money can be earned back, but a lost conscience—"

"Then you can earn more."

Everyone: "..."

However, Lü Yao's output wasn't over yet. He waved his hand and said, "I didn't ask you guys to just scam people. The subsequent modeling work will be even simpler."

"Whether it's in the same city or online, there's a huge demand for photography services. We can even help them organize photography exhibitions and promote their businesses. This applies to hotels, wedding dress shops, vintage clothing stores, and some niche shops as well."

As long as the event is grand enough, all the Dongda students who love excitement will come to join in the fun.

At this point, what appears to be a scam has directly completed a closed loop of supply and demand in the business world.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping'an slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn! You're really something, Da Yao! When did your brain become so sharp?"

After saying that, Xu Pingan looked at his other roommates: "So? Shall we do it?"

When there's an opportunity to make money, why would they miss it?

The roommates all raised their hands, expressing their desire to join the entrepreneurial plan offered by Lü Yao. Xu Ping'an even thumped his chest loudly, assuring Lü Yao that he would definitely get a share if the business made money.

Lu Yao raised his hand to calm the heated atmosphere and said, "But let me make this clear from the start: if you're going to do this, do it properly. Don't ruin your junior's reputation. Once your business reputation is tarnished, everything will be ruined."

Xu Pingan raised his hand and swore to the heavens, "That's for sure!"

Another roommate finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! At least we don't have to save up money to buy boosting supplements, and we don't have to fight with others at campus recruitment."

The other roommates all nodded in agreement.

Ordinary people like them have average talents, and it is difficult for them to find good jobs through campus recruitment. However, with no other options, they have no choice but to try their luck and buy supplements to improve their abilities.

This kind of involution, with its infinitely diminishing marginal returns, is extremely draining.

Now that a way out has finally appeared, the tension that had been building up inside them immediately eased.

Upon hearing his roommate mention supplements, a brilliant idea flashed through Lü Yao's mind!

Because of the development of "human body cultivation," there are many kinds of enhancement supplements for human body cultivation in this world, and the market size is also very large.

In order to gain a leading edge in this field, countries have delegated the development of "human body cultivation" and related "supplement development" to the private sector, hoping to catalyze technological progress through full market competition.

Today it is today.

The development of human cultivation techniques has been pushed to the seventh level by countries around the world. Hundreds of related enhancement supplements have been developed, and the market size is in the trillions!

However, the development of human body cultivation in various countries has stagnated at the seventh level for more than ten years. Now, countries around the world are frantically investing resources, wanting to be the first to push the realm of human body cultivation to the eighth level.

Whoever can reach the new eighth level first will be able to control the global discourse for the next twenty or even fifty years.

In this near-arms race, countries have not only not slowed down their development of "human cultivation" and "enhancing supplements," but have instead continued to invest more resources in them.

This!

This is the biggest opportunity of our time!

Having finally caught the biggest opportunity in the world, Lü Yao felt a chill run down his spine.

Unlike the current global trend of aimless trial and error, Lü Yao has a unique advantage in this regard.

Thinking of this, Lü Yao quickly focused his mind, and the privilege of [Life Winner] Lv2 immediately appeared before his eyes:

【Life Winner Lv2 - As a life winner, you can choose any career you like and become the person you want to be】

This time, Lü Yao no longer hesitated.

He silently vowed to himself, "I choose the exclusive profession: Alchemist!"

As Lü Yao made his choice, an almost overwhelming flood of information surged into his mind...
