Luo Yang’s eyes lit up. He guessed that Lin Bai might have a new plan to make a fortune. He immediately nodded and said, “Boss, we naturally believe in You!”

Sun Xiaogang also nodded.

Zou Wen had been influenced in the dormitory. He also knew about Luo Yang and Sun Xiaogang. At the same time, he also knew about Lin Yang’s ability. He even complained in his heart that Lin Bai did not bring him along when he made a fortune.

However, he only thought about it in his heart. He also knew that he had no family with Lin Bai. Lin Bai had the ability, so he could take whoever he wanted. Therefore, Zou Wen thought it through and went about his business as usual.

When he heard Lin Bai say this, he asked with a tentative smile, “Boss, do you have some business that will make us rich?”

Lin Bai did not hide anything and directly nodded. “I do have some ideas. I’m going to start a technology company.”

“Technology company?” The three of them asked in unison.

Lin Bai nodded and said, “I have a few ideas that are almost mature and I happen to have some spare cash. Besides, we are studying computer science, so I want to rope you guys in to start a company.”

After Zou Wen heard it, he said with some hesitation, “Technology companies require a high investment in the early stage, and you know, we haven’t been listening to the lessons in the past two years. If we really get into it, I’m afraid we’re still far from it.”

Luo Yang was eager to try. He trusted Lin Bai’s vision and ability, but considering the financial problems of his two roommates, he held back his excitement, he suggested, “Boss, look at Sun Xiaogang and Zou Wen. They don’t have much spare money. Why don’t you take them to buy some stocks or virtual currency to make a profit?”

Sun Xiaogang and the others knew about virtual currency in the dorm, so they were quite tempted by Luo Yang’s suggestion.

Lin Bai also thought of Zou Wen and Sun Xiaogang’s financial problems. He thought for a while and said, “Luo Yang is right. But recently, virtual currency and the stock market have been average. I’ll think of another way.”

Zou Wen thought of the stone speculation matter that Luo Yang had told him about. The fact that 500,000 became 50,000,000 in the blink of an eye made Zou Wen extremely envious, immediately, he took out a card and said, “Boss, I have 100,000 yuan in my card. It’s from the pocket money I saved previously and the proceeds of the in-game equipment I sold. If you have any good projects, you can also bring me along. How much I can earn will depend on you. If I lose it, then I have nothing to say.”

“Okay.”

Sun Xiaogang thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out 500,000 yuan. He said, “Boss, my parents gave me all the money in my family, but you also know the situation of my family. This money…”

Lin Bai interrupted Sun Xiaogang’s words. Looking at their bank cards, he said, “I won’t take this money. When I find an opportunity, I’ll call you guys together.”

Seeing that Lin Bai didn’t accept the money directly, Zou Wen was somewhat relieved. He smiled and took back the bank cards before saying, “Then it’s a deal, boss.”

Lin Bai continued, “But I still want to set up a technology company. If you guys have nothing to do, you should focus on your lessons. If your level is really not suitable, I can’t help you even if I want to.”

Lin Bai understood that it was better to teach a person to fish than to give a person fish. Then, he took out his computer and quickly typed a line of code. Then, he packaged it and forwarded it to the three of them, he said, “This is a piece of code that I made up. You guys try to see if you can crack it or learn it. After that, I will continue to test your skills.”

Zou Wen and the others turned on their computers and looked at Lin Bai in shock, he said, “Boss, aren’t we in the same class? Why do I feel that while I was dozing off, you traveled to another high-tech world and learned something amazing?”

Lin Bai looked indifferent. He took a sip of the sparkling water and said in a pretentious tone, “Maybe I’m too smart.”

“Eh…”

Everyone in the dormitory looked disgusted. Then, they stopped talking and began to study the code.

After a while, Zou Wen asked tentatively, “Boss, can I take this code and ask the teacher for advice? I’m afraid I won’t have time to flip through the book now.”

Lin Bai nodded and said, “I have no objections, but don’t tell anyone that I wrote it.”

In the next few days, because nothing happened, Lin Bai went to class every day. After class, he spent some time with Yu Jinmo, then went back to the dorm to see his roommates getting into a state of studying hard.

A piece of code that even the teachers found difficult to solve appeared in the computers of students majoring in computer science in S University. This stirred up everyone’s emotions, and the atmosphere of learning soared.

At this moment, Lin Bai was very relaxed.

Instructor Zhang had not been prancing around in front of him recently, and the dormitory manager had already been transferred to another place. Jian Bingbai had sent him a small invention on his phone for saving his life. After he saw it, he optimized it and re-sent it to Jian Bingbai. Jian Bingbai praised him and tried to win him over.

Ten days of peace passed, and Lin Bai’s phone once again popped up with a preview of the future news.

[The king of Scavenger Hunters! A 5,000-year-old bronze cup has appeared in the Antique Street! The profit is in the hundreds of millions! The buyer only spent a few hundred thousand! ]

[Shocking! Bones have appeared in the abandoned residential area of XX. The forensic examination found that the time of death did not exceed 12 hours!]

The two pieces of news were published three days later. There was a difference of eight hours between the time of publication.

This made Lin Bai guess that there might be a connection between the two pieces of news?

Then, Lin Bai clicked on the news.

The news captured the bronze cup and the buyer’s appearance very clearly. After reading it, Lin Bai felt that the opportunity to make a fortune with Zou Wen and Sun Xiaogang had come.

Then, he read the news of the abandoned residential area of XX. However, whether it was between the lines or the picture of the corpse, Lin Bai felt that there was a strange aura surrounding it.

His intuition made Lin Bai think that there was a connection between this dead person and the Anti-Earth Organization.

Lin Bai felt that he had to go and investigate in advance.

The next night, Lin Bai came to XX’s abandoned residential area alone. Under the cover of darkness, Lin Bai saw a young man supporting a drunk man into the residential area.

Thanks to the system’s reward, he saw that person very clearly.

He was the man who had bought the Bronze Cup!

The drunk man was obviously unconscious and passed out, and the young man who was supporting him had a look of joy on his face. He stretched out his hand and was about to do something.

At this moment, Lin Bai took a few steps forward.

“Hum –” A buzzing sound came from both parties’ minds, and then the young man found that his ability was gone!

“What’s going on? ! Where’s my ability?” The young man frantically took out his phone and found that the new appraisal app was on the verge of collapse. It seemed like it was going to disappear in the next second.

Then, the young man heard something. He glared at the drunk man who was unconscious. He picked up the abandoned building materials and was about to take that man’s life!

Lin Bai rushed over and grabbed the young man’s phone with one hand. He quickly unloaded the app and punched the young man unconscious with the other hand!
