Chapter 115: Critical Hit From The Roommate
Before their seafood buffet trip to dorm 414, they first returned to the dormitory. Everyone put down the textbooks they had used for class. As for Wang Heng, he operated the computer again.
Fu Hanwen suddenly asked, “Teacher Wang, what are you doing?”
Wang Heng: “Wait for me a moment, I’ll transfer some money home first.”
Fu Hanwen couldn’t help but sigh, “Teacher Wang is only a first-year university student and is already giving back to his parents?”
Wang Ke also said with some emotion, “Simply ‘admiration’ is no longer enough to express my feelings…”
Tang Hexing: “It’s okay, we’ll wait.”
Wang Heng smiled and confirmed the transfer.
This time, his own Bitcoin holdings went from 60,000 to 530,000. Adding Lu Qi’s one-third profit, that made it 850,000. Compared to Lu Qi’s 740,000, Wang Heng himself was the bigger winner.
The amount transferred to his father was 150,000.
With this, he had 700,000 left for investment. Considering the World Cup and stock market trends within the next year, this 700,000 was more than enough.
After completing the transfer, Wang Heng sent another text message to his father: 【 Dad, I’ve transferred some money to you. I recently made it by investing in Bitcoin. You can use it to pay the mortgage first. 】
Then he stood up and called out, “Let’s go, time to eat!”

After another day of messy work, it was time to get off work. But for Wang Jian, this didn’t mean the start of rest time, but the beginning of another work mission.
The leader walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, “Let’s go, Xiao Wang, today’s drinking party depends on your acting skills!”
Wang Jian, who was not much younger than the leader, replied with a smile, “Report, leader, I’ll definitely be fine.”
Just then, his mobile phone’s notification sound rang. Wang Jian took out his phone and was stunned.
The leader craned his neck to look and exclaimed, “One hundred and fifty thousand! What kind of business are you in?”
Wang Jian said blankly, “It’s from my son…”
The leader’s expression became even stranger, “Your son? What kind of business is he in?”

Before reaching the school gate with his roommates, Wang Heng received a call from his father.
“Hello, how did you earn so much!” his father asked as soon as the call connected, “I know Bitcoin has been rising sharply, but this is too exaggerated!”
Wang Heng smiled, “It’s alright… Just keep it. Didn’t you always say the mortgage was a real pain? Now you’re all set, right?”
Father: “You gave it all to me, what about yourself?”
Wang Heng: “Don’t worry about me. I definitely won’t mistreat myself. And after Bitcoin, I’ll look for other investment opportunities. I expect to earn more.”
Father: “Don’t you need principal for your investments?”
Wang Heng: “I left some for myself. What I gave you is only a part of it.”
His father on the other end of the line was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but exclaim, “How much did you actually earn!”
Wang Heng glanced around, confirmed his roommates were chatting and not paying attention to him, then lowered his voice, “Not much, maybe less than a million.”
Father: “…”
Wang Heng: “Why aren’t you talking?”
“What do you expect me to say, you brat?” his father groaned, “Not much? A million? Are you insulting your old man!”
Wang Heng: “How could it be an insult? Of course, I’m transferring money to show filial piety. Alright, I won’t talk anymore, I’m going out to eat now.”
Father: “Eating a big meal?”
Wang Heng: “Congratulations, you guessed right. Speaking of which, with this money, you can also treat yourself to something nice.”
His father snorted coldly, “Open source and economize; just knowing how to open source without economizing won’t do. I’ll keep this money. Besides paying off the mortgage, the rest will be saved for you, young man, so you don’t end up with no food to eat if your investments go south!”
“Haha, that sounds good…”
After hanging up with his father, Wang Heng couldn’t help but smirk.
What does it mean to be proud and smug on a swift steed? The hardships he endured for a long time in the first playthrough, the penniless state of his wallet—that shadow called ‘poverty’ had finally vanished. Furthermore, with countless future investment opportunities in his mind, it was foreseeable that today’s gains were just the beginning.
Wang Heng felt that by remaining silent and just smiling, without any boastful behavior, he was already a model of equanimity.
The four boys had reached the school’s main gate. At that very moment, they almost simultaneously noticed—on the road ahead, the only way out of school, stood a short-haired older sister type wearing a trench coat, smiling at them.
The smile on Wang Heng’s face froze instantly.
Tang Hexing, Fu Hanwen, and Wang Ke quickly realized that the beautiful older sister type’s gaze seemed to be fixed on… Wang Heng?
The boys stopped in unison.
The next second, the short-haired older sister type, with a radiant smile, strode towards them.
Lu Qi never wore skirts, and her stride had a heroic and handsome air. If her face wasn’t so exquisite, many people might have mistaken her for a handsome young guy. However, if considered a handsome guy, Lu Qi’s height wouldn’t quite match. At less than 1.7 meters, she was about the same height as Xiao Tang, the shortest in dorm 414.
She arrived in front of the boys, beckoned, swept her gaze over the four boys, and finally settled on Wang Heng.
“No introductions?”
Wang Heng sighed helplessly, “Sister Lu, these three are my roommates, Tang Hexing, Fu Hanwen, and Wang Ke. Classmates, this is Sister Lu, my part-time job superior.”
Lu Qi reminded him with a smile, “Besides superior?”
Wang Heng: “Investment partner.”
Fu Hanwen was the first to react and quickly asked, “Sister Lu, you invested in Bitcoin with him?”
Lu Qi nodded, “Yes, didn’t he tell you?”
“No…” Wang Ke asked curiously, “So how much money did you guys make?”
Wang Heng remained silent, just glaring at Lu Qi.
In front of his roommates, a little pretense was beneficial for health, but too much would be problematic. If figures in the millions were revealed, the atmosphere of future friendships would likely be affected…
Lu Qi blinked, “I made quite a bit, several hundred thousand. But Wang Heng was only responsible for giving suggestions, he didn’t earn much himself.”
The roommates sighed in unison, seemingly a bit disappointed.
Wang Heng also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Qi wasn’t Pei Ningle; she knew how to read the room.
At this moment, Tang Hexing suddenly said, “We’re going to eat seafood buffet later. Sister Lu, would you like to join us?”
“Seafood buffet?” Lu Qi’s eyes lit up, “Of course, no problem!”
Wang Heng pressed his chest, feeling the blow from his roommate—Xiao Tang, I have no past grudges with you, why must you push me into a fiery pit at this critical moment?
