I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 7 Temporary Skills

Zhao Zheng swung his racket, subtly feeding the ball to Tian Jingyi.

Although the sight of the pretty girl leaping and swinging her racket was quite pleasing to the eye, Zhao Zheng was not in the mood to think about such things at the moment. He exuded a listless and dispirited aura, giving off a sense of dejection.

Zhao Zheng wanted to impress the girl he liked, but he ended up looking like a clown after the fight, which left him feeling quite frustrated.

……

As a freshman majoring in Chinese Language and Literature, he was attracted to Tian Jingyi, a classmate, from the moment he attended the class meeting on the night of his enrollment...

Despite the attraction, Zhao Zheng didn't have the courage to take the initiative to get closer to her due to her personality.

Even his contact information was something he only managed to get by after a group assignment, and he finally mustered the courage to add it.

And then... that was it. After the group project ended, the last bit of contact between the two was lost, and the chat interface remained stuck on the line, "You can present the PPT later."

Until a month ago, Tian Jingyi posted a message on her WeChat Moments asking, "Anyone want to play badminton together?"

Encouraged by his roommates and confident in his own skills, Zhao Zheng gave himself a pep talk before saying, "I also really like badminton. How about we practice together at the gym tonight?"

After becoming "ball buddies," the two grew closer. Although there was no ambiguity between them, becoming friends was a step forward compared to their previous "stranger" relationship.

The reason Zhao Zheng chose to play doubles today was because he secretly wanted to "show off in front of the girl he likes".

At that time, Chen Yan wasn't the only one playing singles in the gymnasium, but Zhao Zheng observed for a long time and finally found that this group had the worst skills, so he chose them.

To Zhao Zheng's surprise, although the two players lacked skill, their defense was quite impressive. What frustrated him even more was that both of them were incredibly physically strong.

Relying on his strong stamina, he gained an early advantage but was quickly overtaken, and was even beaten badly in the last few goals.

The difference is clear at a glance.

Feeling frustrated, he couldn't concentrate. Even though Tian Jingyi was a badminton novice, he made frequent mistakes and hit several bad shots.

After another serve went into the net, Zhao Zheng pursed his lips, looked at Tian Jingyi opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"How about we stop here for today? I'm not feeling too good..."

"Okay, okay." Tian Jingyi gave an OK sign. "We've already played for a long time today, let's practice again tomorrow."

'Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too much today.' Zhao Zheng took two deep breaths and walked heavily out of the gymnasium.

……

Ten p.m.

"Chen Yan, have you checked the school forum?"

Chen Yan was lying in bed looking at his phone when he subconsciously replied, "I haven't checked the forums. What's wrong? Has something big happened at school again?"

"I heard that our school is going to expand enrollment." Shen Dong said with a hint of frustration. "I just inquired and it seems that if there aren't enough dorm rooms, they might fill in empty rooms."

Chen Yan: "!"

"We can't be that unlucky, it can't be our turn." Upon hearing this news, Chen Yan put down his phone and asked, "How accurate is the information?"

"I don't know, but it feels pretty real. I wonder if they'll actually send two people to our dorm room."

For Chen Yan, this was definitely bad news.

In fact, he had the idea of ​​renting a place outside when he entered university, since no one knows what kind of personality his roommate will have, what his living habits will be like, and so on.

However, two people didn't come to school for various reasons, and with only one roommate, Shen Dong, who was a perfect roommate, Chen Yan ultimately decided to stay in the dorm. But now, what if two more people were to squeeze in?

"Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes. There's no need to worry about it now." Chen Yan stretched his arms and comforted her, "Even if it really happens to us, maybe our new roommates will be nice."

"I hope so..." Shen Dong sighed and didn't say anything more.

……

Over the next few days, the schedule suddenly became very tight, as if it had been put on accelerator.

With the completion of each required course, the timetable has become empty, and final week has officially arrived.

Chen Yan's daily life was quite regular. He stayed in his dormitory every day to prepare for the final exams, occasionally writing outlines, and then went to the gymnasium for exercise in the evening. The days passed by like this.

During this period, the system was not triggered even once, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Until the afternoon after the final exams.

……

With the end of his last exam, Chen Yan's sophomore year came to a close.

On his way back from the exam, Chen Yan saw many students carrying suitcases and bags heading towards the school gate.

Upon returning to his dorm room, Chen Yan immediately began packing his luggage.

He didn't plan to take much back with him, just a blanket and clothes. He decided to leave miscellaneous items like shampoo at school, since he would need them again next semester.

Just as Chen Yan was packing his luggage, a "ding" sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, on finishing your final exams and starting your summer vacation!]

Everyone has different plans for the upcoming holiday.

[As a male god, these two months present a great opportunity for the host to replenish his savings.]

Based on the host's past money-making experience, the system will provide the host with three temporary skills. The host can choose one of them and earn profits through the corresponding path.

In early October, the system will tally the host's earnings during this period; the higher the earnings, the richer the reward.

After quickly processing the information provided by the system, a hint of joy flashed in Chen Yan's eyes...

Finally, a task that can earn money appeared!

'That's more like it. How can a male god be broke?' Chen Yan rubbed his palms together, his heart filled with anticipation.

After all, for a male god, having only 60 yuan in his bank account seems rather pathetic.

This mission could earn hundreds of thousands, or even millions...

Of course, while looking forward to it, Chen Yan also had some doubts.

According to the system description, the temporary skills provided by the system are generated based on his past experience in making money...

But it seems that the only way he makes money is by writing... If you really want to know, does earning pocket money by helping his mother with chores when he was a child count?

With some doubt, Chen Yan had a sudden thought.

The next second, the three temporary skills provided by the system were fully revealed before his eyes.
