Chapter 68: 068 It’s Really Complex
Wang Heng held the hamster and arrived at the top floor of the dormitory.
The dormitory had a total of six floors, and the seventh floor above was the rooftop. Walking out of the stairwell on the top floor, there was nothing but a vast empty space in front of him, except for a few sparse poles and clotheslines.
Wang Heng silently walked to the edge of the rooftop, resting his elbows on the railing.
Hamster: “Do you want to throw me down?”
Wang Heng looked down at it and asked, “If I throw you down, will you die?”
Hamster: “This body will definitely die, but the administrator is immortal.”
Wang Heng felt a bit melancholy: “I guessed it too, throwing you down won’t solve any problems… The administrator is immortal, but I’m just a mortal. If a person is killed, they die.”
The hamster chuckled softly: “Isn’t that obvious?”
Wang Heng held it in his left hand and pointed at his chest with his right finger.
“I’m an ordinary person, if stabbed with a knife, I’ll die. Right now, the only ones I have daily contact with are Pei Ningle and Lu Qi. But if you bring in Han Yixuan again, or even Ye Xun… then I’m done for. Even if I deliberately avoid building favorability, it won’t work. I’ve seen through it—you not only watch the show, you actively create plot!”
The more he spoke, the more furious and grief-stricken Wang Heng felt.
The hamster spread its little paws: “But I also told you, if you’re really in life danger, I will definitely remind you. And starting over from the beginning, you have precautions now, so you definitely won’t flip so easily. Why not give it a try?”
Wang Heng: “Try what?”
“Actively start a harem!” the hamster whispered temptingly. “You don’t really have no feelings for them, right? Otherwise, why would you lend a hand? Since that’s the case, then take the initiative…”
“No way!” Wang Heng interrupted very decisively. “Starting a harem is a terrible thing!”
The hamster stared at him, stunned for a few seconds, then sighed: “Is this turning over a new leaf? But you, a scumbag chopped with a cleaver, saying that really lacks persuasiveness…”
Wang Heng instinctively squeezed the hamster in his hand and declared firmly: “That was the immature me before. Now I’ve learned a lesson, I’ve reflected, I have a complete moral view. So, I absolutely won’t start a harem!”
“Talk if you’re talking, why squeeze me!” The hamster wriggled its body.
Wang Heng quickly loosened the grip of his palm.
The hamster pointed at his back: “Did you see it?”
Wang Heng turned to look, but didn’t see anything.
Hamster: “The flag stuck in your back, standing so tall, didn’t you see it?”
Wang Heng realized and sneered: “Saying I’m setting a flag… Whatever, say what you want, anyway, I’m not changing my mind. And you need to understand, it’s not just not wanting to start a harem, I’m not even interested in dating anymore! Why not do something better instead of trapping myself in that sour and stinky quagmire?”
Hamster: “Humanity is very complex though…”
Wang Heng: “Heh, how complex others are has nothing to do with me? As long as you don’t force me, everything will be fine!”
The hamster shrugged and said no more. But its small eyes like green beans clearly showed amusement.

The next morning, in a lecture hall at Finance University, an Introduction to Finance course for freshmen ended.
As the class dismissal bell rang, the professor lecturing turned off the slides on the computer, packed his things, and walked out of the classroom.
But before reaching the elevator, he was stopped.
The one blocking him was a first year university student girl who had been sitting in the front row during class. The professor remembered her; she listened seriously throughout and seemed to take a lot of notes, which made him slightly gratified. Of course, the girl was also quite pretty, which made the professor involuntarily look at her a couple more times.
“Hello, professor, my name is Han Yixuan,” the girl bowed slightly. “I have a question I’d like to ask.”
“Go ahead, what question?”
“I want to know, how much does the knowledge from our finance major help with investment?”
The question was outside expectations, and the professor was momentarily stunned: “Help with investment? What, you want to invest?”
Han Yixuan nodded.
The professor asked again: “Does your family have a lot of assets? A large sum of money waiting for you to manage?”
Han Yixuan shook her head: “No, my family has nothing special, but I want to accumulate assets with my own strength.”
Professor: “Professional knowledge definitely helps, but only to let you understand where the threshold is.”
Han Yixuan: “Can’t get rich quick?”
The professor looked at the girl for a few seconds, then sighed.
He opened the textbook, found a page with illustrations, and pointed to the white-haired old man in the illustration: “Buffett, no need to introduce him, right? Tell me, what is his investment strategy?”
Han Yixuan had already previewed the securities investment chapter and answered immediately: “His strategy is value investment. That is, spot good companies with potential and hold their shares long-term, like Coca-Col—”
The professor interrupted: “Mm, but do you know his family background?”
Han Yixuan shook her head bewilderedly.
The professor smiled and said: “Books only tell you that Buffett had a business mind from childhood and visited the exchange at age 8. But books won’t tell you that the one who took him to visit the exchange was his father, a congressman. And the one who received their father and son was a Goldman Sachs board member at the time. Their family has been prosperous since the 19th century and was never poor.”
Han Yixuan couldn’t help asking: “So, he became an investment legend because of his good family background?”
Professor: “There are many people in the world with good family backgrounds, but how many are like Buffett? Family background is the starting line; that he ran farther than everyone else is his ability. But you also need to think, why is he so well-informed in the capital market? How much seed capital did he have? And even so, he only gets a 20% annualized rate— what about ordinary people?”
Han Yixuan couldn’t help asking: “Then what advantage do we finance majors really have?”
“Advantage? You mean advantage for getting rich?” The professor frowned. “This is just an undergraduate major to teach you knowledge; it won’t directly give you money or tell you get-rich secrets. To earn money, you must roll around in the market, and the possibility isn’t great.”
The young girl was still a bit unwilling: “But there must be some special advantages, right?”
The professor thought for a moment and decided to use the most intuitive example to explain.
He pointed to the watch on his left wrist: “This watch costs over two thousand. Guess why it’s not a Rolex worth hundreds of thousands?”
Then he pulled out the car key from his pocket: “This car costs over three hundred thousand. Guess why it’s not a Maserati?”
Han Yixuan understood everything, her gaze dimming instantly: “Because you won’t either…”
Sunlight streamed in from outside the window, shining on the professor.
He touched his slightly reflective bald head, looking vicissitude: “My own money didn’t come from the wind either; investment is just play around. Got it? The financial market is very complex, really very complex.”

Also, seeing classmates leaving messages in the book review area about whether Wang Heng will ultimately start a harem… well, who knows? The author isn’t sure how the future will develop either…（ shrug, shrug shoulders, look to the sky）
