Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 43 – Ma Fei's Money-Making Method

A shopping mall in Su City.

Ma Fei, Zuo You, and Zhao Ziyue stared in astonishment at Yang Xiangdi across from them.

At that moment, Yang Xiangdi was stuffing a grilled chicken burger into his mouth with big bites.

"Qiao Yu, are you sure this handsome guy is Yang Xiangdi? I find it hard to believe!" Zuo You asked, covering her mouth.

"Yeah, the change is too big. He's even more handsome than Ma Fei!" Zhao Ziyue nodded in agreement.

Ma Fei, standing to the side, wore a sullen expression and didn't want to speak.

He had just completed the Warrior Class's exclusive dungeon and originally wanted to show off a bit.

But he found out that not only him, but the other four had also completed their exclusive dungeons, and Yang Xiangdi had become even more handsome than him!

Yang Xiangdi, who previously had little presence, had received hundreds of love letters in the past few days.

This made Ma Fei secretly grit his teeth.

"What's the use of being good-looking? You still need to eat more to gain weight, otherwise, you'll have no sense of security next time you enter the Inner World," Yang Xiangdi mumbled through a mouthful of burger.

"Hey, if you could keep this look, you'd have no trouble finding girls who like you," Zhao Ziyue said, shaking her head regretfully.

"Hmph! Beauty is just an external appearance, the myriad forms of life are all different, what's there to care about?" Ma Fei snorted disdainfully from the side.

"Yang Xiangdi, what level are you now?"

"Level 8."

Killing the Anaconda and receiving an A-grade evaluation had directly boosted Yang Xiangdi three levels to Level 8.

"Oh~ Level 8, huh? That's not bad, but unfortunately, I'm already Level 10."

Ma Fei feigned nonchalance, observing Qiao Yu and the others' expressions from the corner of his eye, hoping to see shock on their faces.

However, he was quickly disappointed; his attempt to show off failed miserably.

Zuo You and Zhao Ziyue were whispering to each other, Yang Xiangdi was busy eating, and Qiao Yu was daydreaming with his chin in his hand, not paying any attention to what he said.

"Ahem!"

Ma Fei coughed twice, realizing no one was paying attention to him.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

He continued to cough forcefully, almost coughing his lungs out.

Yang Xiangdi considerately handed him a mask.

"Ma Fei, put this on. Go see a doctor soon, get treated if you're sick, get cremated if you need to."

"You...!" Ma Fei was almost infuriated to death. "Qiao Yu!"

"Huh? What's up?"

Qiao Yu turned his head slowly, having been thinking about what Xun Dong mentioned about Hakutaku before he died.

"What level are you?" Ma Fei asked.

Qiao Yu looked at his attribute panel.

"Name: Qiao Yu

"I'm Level 10," Qiao Yu said after checking.

"What? You're Level 10 too?" Ma Fei's pupils shrank, pounding his chest. "You're unbelievable! How can you be Level 10? You're too unbelievable!"

The Warrior Class's exclusive dungeon had far more monsters than the Mage Class's, so normally, Warriors should level up faster in the early stages.

For instance, Yang Xiangdi was two levels behind him, but how did Qiao Yu manage to be on par with him? Ma Fei couldn't understand!

"Tell me, did you secretly use an experience hack?" Ma Fei questioned.

"No, I just cleared the dungeon normally."

"Come on! How could you be the same level as me just by clearing it normally? Who finishes a meal and says it stinks? You must have hacked!"

Ma Fei's chest heaved, spittle flying, almost ready to beat Qiao Yu on the spot.

"Yeah, yeah, I hacked."

Qiao Yu shrugged. When someone suspects your fruit isn't ripe, no explanation will convince them otherwise.

"Right, if you hacked, that makes sense."

Hearing Qiao Yu admit it, Ma Fei finally calmed down.

"By the way, Qiao Yu, are you still taking the Inner World College Entrance Examination?" Zuo You asked.

On Kaiji Star, the most important day of the year is the College Entrance Examination.

The exam signifies that both the real world and the Inner World will select a new batch of geniuses.

Most students who are guaranteed admission to the Inner World also take the exam, all aiming for the same goal—the Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination!

Becoming the top scorer is a dual win of fame and fortune.

Besides bringing honor to one's family and enjoying the admiration and worship of everyone, there's one thing that's most important to players!

Becoming the top scorer in the city comes with a one-time A-grade item as a reward!

And all the city top scorers will continue to compete in the exam, ultimately selecting four unique top scorers from the four main classes!

These four top scorers will be awarded an S-grade item!

S-grade!

This is an irresistible temptation for any player!

At critical moments, an S-grade item can completely turn the tide and instantly secure victory.

"No, I think I'll work part-time in the Inner World to farm some dungeons and earn some living expenses; otherwise, I won't even be able to afford food in Kyoto."

Faced with this incredible temptation, Qiao Yu shook his head.

Although Kyoto University waived his tuition, he still had to figure out his living expenses.

Who knows how many monstrous geniuses will show up on the day of the Inner World College Entrance Examination? Qiao Yu felt his chances of becoming the top scorer among them were too slim.

Since he's already guaranteed admission, instead of wasting time on the exam, he'd rather find a way to earn some money to buy ribs.

"Is it that hard to make money? How about I give you a few tips?" Ma Fei asked.

He still wanted Qiao Yu to take the exam; after all, it was an opportunity.

But he was afraid that directly giving money would hurt Qiao Yu's self-esteem.

"Oh? Master Ma, please share, we're all ears!"

Zuo You and the others were also interested. After all, Ma Fei was a genuine second-generation wealthy, surely he knew many ways to make money. Who would complain about having too much money?

"Ahem!"

Ma Fei cleared his throat, looking smug.

"Money is particularly easy to make; the job market is so flexible now. For example, you can use your private car to drive for hire, rent out any idle property you have, can't you make money from these?"

Qiao Yu, Zuo You, Yang Xiangdi, Zhao Ziyue: ......

"Young people need to learn to use their brains, understand?" Ma Fei admired his own cleverness, truly believing he was a little genius at making money.

"Master Ma, I understand! Now, where do we get the private car and idle property?" Yang Xiangdi asked.

"Same question" X3

Ma Fei's face was full of astonishment.

"You don't even have a house or car? Impossible! No one can be so poor that they don't have at least those two things!"

"Well said, Ma Fei! What you said is no different from farting, and it's as thick as if it were coated with starch!" Yang Xiangdi commented.

"Forget it, even my bicycle is shared. I shouldn't have believed Ma Fei could say anything useful!"

Zhao Ziyue shook her head in disappointment.

"Master Ma, if you really feel sorry for us poor folks, why don't you go settle the bill?"
