"Wu Yun, the paperwork is done. Keep an eye on your phone for the next couple of days. The instructor we’ve arranged will contact you," the clerk said to Wu Yun after taking the registration fee.
"Okay, thank you!" Wu Yun took the receipt and walked out of the office.
...
The next day, after waking up and getting ready, Wu Yun headed to the governnt affairs center to handle the property deed transfer, as agreed upon during the ho purchase.
After taking a taxi to the old governnt affairs center, Wu Yun found the agent, Liu Wei, and the hoowner, Aunt Tang, already waiting for him at the main entrance.
"Honestly, you young people love to sleep in as soon as you have a day off. Sleeping early and waking up early is good for you," Aunt Tang lectured the mont she saw Wu Yun. "Huh, you’re looking even more handso than yesterday, Wu Yun! Are you free anyti soon? I’d like to introduce you to my daughter."
Wu Yun felt the urge to turn around and leave. Back at the agency office yesterday, he must have given Aunt Tang the impression that his family was wealthy by paying for the house in full. That had to be why she was so fixated on introducing her younger daughter to him.
Looking at Aunt Tang’s rather plain face, Wu Yun decided against it.
Seeing Wu Yun’s predicant, Liu Wei quickly changed the subject. "Sister Tang, Wu Yun is here now. Let’s go inside and get this taken care of. We still have to go to the bank to transfer the final paynt to you. We’re on a tight schedule, so let’s hurry!"
The mont she heard about the money, Aunt Tang temporarily forgot about her matchmaking plans and excitedly clicked her way into the governnt affairs center lobby in her high heels.
After spending two hours at the center and paying nearly 20,000 yuan in various taxes and fees, the three of them hurried to the nearest Industrial and Comrcial Bank of China to handle the personal transfer.
"[Huaxia Industrial Bank] July 3, 2014, 11:20 AM: 200,000 yuan has been transferred from your account ending in 416. Current balance: 57,273.55 yuan."
EXP 200,000. Character Level 3 (1,034,079/1,000,000). Level-up settlent in progress. Countdown: 10 minutes.
Wu Yun couldn’t stop smiling, which made him seem even more bright and handso to Aunt Tang.
Aunt Tang and Liu Wei assud Wu Yun was just happy about owning his own place. Liu Wei congratulated him, "Congratulations, Wu Yun, on getting your second property! No, I should say, your first property that’s truly your own. We’ll notify you when it’s ti to pick up the deed, and we can handle the transfer for the gas, water, and electricity, as well as the paperwork with the property managent company."
Wu Yun’s first property was an old apartnt inherited from his grandparents, which is why Liu Wei had phrased it that way.
Afterward, Wu Yun had to put in so effort to get out of Aunt Tang’s invitation to have lunch with her and her daughter.
Wu Yun fled in disarray. ’As a future tycoon, how can I go on a blind date so soon! I’m only eighteen; there will be tons of girls lining up for in the future.’
Wu Yun didn’t go ho. Instead, he walked to Walmart, found a bench in the shopping center, and sat down, pretending to play on his phone.

Shop unlocked. Lottery draws: one. Beginner-level Spending Rebate permission unlocked.
He did so quick ntal math to figure out his monthly base inco. ’Holy cow, that’s 3.24 million yuan a month! That’s more than ninety-nine percent of the country. Too bad I already took an advance for this month, so I’ll have to wait for the next.’
Wu Yun suddenly rembered he had another 50 million yuan coming in soon. ’Doesn’t that an I can level up to Level 5 this month?’
Suppressing his excitent, Wu Yun ntally opened the introduction for the Beginner-level Spending Rebate permission.
Beginner-level Spending Rebate: Designated purchases receive a 1-3x rebate. The monthly rebate limit is equal to one month’s base inco.
Wu Yun didn’t quite understand the description, so he asked, "System, is this rebate limit per transaction, or a total limit?"
System: "Host, in your dreams! A per-transaction limit would let you farm money indefinitely. You think I’d let you exploit a loophole like that? No matter how much you spend, the rebate cap for Level Four is your Level Four base inco."
Listening to the system’s sarcasm, Wu Yun felt the urge to cancel the binding.
Ignoring the system’s nagging, Wu Yun opened the lottery wheel again.
The giant wheel spun. Wu Yun ntally commanded it to stop.
"Congratulations, Host. You have drawn: ’The History of the Shared Economy and Related Business Plans.’ Shop price: 30 million yuan."
Wu Yun leaped up from his bench, pumping his fist. It was a classic case of getting a pillow just when you’re feeling sleepy! He had just been worrying about how to start a business with the 50 million he was about to get, and now he’d drawn a business plan!
Before his rebirth, the shared economy had been a hot topic in society. From the earliest bike-sharing to car-sharing, then to shared electric scooters and shared power banks, the word "shared" was completely familiar to people of the later era.
Before his rebirth, Wu Yun had often ridden shared bikes, but he knew nothing about their developnt history.
He’d even contributed a two or three hundred yuan deposit to Little Yellow Car, which he never got back, right up until the mont of his rebirth.
Wu Yun opened "The History of the Shared Economy and Related Business Plans" to view the detailed description.
Just as Wu Yun had initially thought, the business plan was divided into sections for each of those shared items.
Wu Yun first read about the developnt of the shared economy and saw that bike-sharing appeared first, so he opened the bike-sharing subsection.
This history of bike-sharing developnt included the entire evolution of all shared bike companies from his past life, including important milestones and developnt strategies, with the tiline ending at the mont of Wu Yun’s rebirth.
At the end, there was also a detailed business plan in a PPT format.
Wu Yun skimd through it and suppressed the urge to go register a company imdiately. ’At this point in ti, there isn’t a single bike-sharing company yet. I have plenty of ti.’
Just then, Wu Yun’s phone rang. It was an unknown number from Jingyang.
"Hello?" Wu Yun swiped to answer.
"Is this Wu Yun? This is Instructor Wang Wu from Chengnan Driving School!" a booming voice ca from the phone.
"Oh, hello, Instructor. When should I start my lessons?" Wu Yun replied, realizing who it was.
The booming voice continued, "I was just about to call you. Be at the place where you registered tomorrow at eight in the morning. I’ll pick you all up and take you to the training grounds."
"Okay! I’ll be there on ti tomorrow, Instructor."
The instructor’s call broke Wu Yun’s train of thought. He decided not to continue reading the business plan and just grabbed a quick bite at a fast-food place in the mall.
Afterward, Wu Yun went to a supermarket and bought two cartons of Chunghwa cigarettes to give to the instructor the next day.
Even though Wu Yun would only be studying for a few days, sotis having the instructor help schedule the test was much more efficient than trying to book it yourself.
As for Qi Fei, the upperclassman who was also learning to drive, Wu Yun had decided to just let things develop naturally. His interaction with her yesterday had given him the impression that she wasn’t an easy person to talk to, but maybe it was just because they didn’t know each other well yet.
With that in mind, Wu Yun sent Qi Fei a WeChat ssage: "Hey, did the instructor call you? We’re supposed to et up tomorrow at eight in the morning to go to the training grounds."
He didn’t have to wait long for a reply; a ssage ca back just a few seconds later. "He just called too. I hear you already know how to drive. You’ll have to share so tips with ."
The completely different speaking style left Wu Yun baffled. ’Is this the acting skill of a performance major?’
"Haha, can’t wait to witness the legendary skills of a female driver tomorrow," Wu Yun replied, adding an emoji.
In response, he got three "beating" emojis from Qi Fei.
