"..." Head on the desk, Evan mumbled, "You've mistaken me for someone else."Seeing Evan ignore her, Mia also rested her head down and started playing Brawl Stars on her phone.The campus sweetheart actively flirting with Evan, only to be rejected, sparked jealous loathing in most of the male classmates.Studying international trade, Class 0512 was overwhelmingly male with just 7 girls out of 32 students.The acidic resentment from the 22 boys (minus Cameron, Joshua, and Evan) pierced Evan's back as he napped. He inexplicably shuddered.But none dared express their anger, since Mia approached him herself.So they followed her lead, whipping out their phones and entering the game, attracting her attention virtually if not in reality.Soon such dialogues filled the classroom:"Oh no, I can't beat this guy!""Don't worry Mia, I'll help you!""Oh no, I died and dropped my gear!""Mia, come here. I've got lots of equipment to share.""..."The classroom was a chaos of noise."Sigh, can't e
"Tsk, you're asking to be humiliated. How vexing.""What? Evan, you're telling me to keep playing?" Mia couldn't believe her ears. After that mockery, he was still letting her play? This wasn't the Evan she knew!"Hehe, regretting now huh? Good, I'll give your pathetic, aggrieved look a like. Let's take a pic and post it on Twitter to gain you some popularity!" Owen cackled."Mia, the game you play is called Brawl Stars right?" Ignoring Owen, Evan glanced at the game he'd just downloaded and looked to Mia. "Lend me your account for a bit. Give me your password."??? Everyone was baffled. Why not just register himself? Did he want to check if it was a world for the wealthy using Mia's account? Evan was just mocked for poverty, yet still wanted to openly play the game now? Was he planning to charge Mia's account? But how much could a poor guy like him top up? $10?"Enter the account and password yourself," Evan said, handing his phone to Mia after downloading the game."Oh, okay." Conf
"I can't watch this anymore," Owen said, knowing he was out of his depth."Stay right there!" Evan commanded in a deep voice. "Keep watching!"His authoritative tone reverberated powerfully through the classroom.Owen froze in place, trembling as he murmured obediently, "Oh, okay." Truthfully, he wanted nothing more than to flee this painfully awkward situation. But his legs betrayed him, shaking like jelly and refusing to budge."That's better," Evan nodded coolly as he continued playing on Mia's account.After leaving the beginner's village, he defeated some monsters, then frowned and addressed the support staff, "The monsters in this starter area seem really tough to beat. I can't get past them after several tries.""Please give us one minute, sir."A minute later, the voice returned: "Still there? Try battling again and let me know if it's better now."After easily one-shotting the monsters, Evan grew bored. "I don't think I'm suited for melee combat. Got any nice-looking ranged
"What's going on?" Abbie Rose wondered, watching Owen's retreating back in confusion."Could it be heartbreak? No, that can't be right. Owen's an athlete, he's been through countless competitions, even some international ones. He has great mental fortitude, there's no way a breakup would leave him like this.""Oh well, I'd better go announce the good news to the class first!" Abbie Rose shook her head and headed into the Marketing Classroom.The moment she entered, the chorus of shocked cries nearly bowled her over!And in every exclamation was the name "Evan"!"Evan again?" Abbie Rose immediately thought of Evan's Pagani Zonda and realized this must be another case of Evan astonishing the class with his wealth."Ahem!" She walked up to the podium and cleared her throat. "Everyone settle down, it's time for our class meeting. First on the agenda is..."She spoke loudly, but her voice was drowned out by the thunderous cries of shock. She had to raise her volume even more, shouting hoar
"Evan..." Mia said awkwardly, "I can't accept so much money from you, we're not even dating..."Evan understood what she meant and grinned slyly, pretending he misheard. "What's that, not enough money? Got it, wait a sec!""Ding!" Another message tone.Mia paled as she looked at her phone, stammering, "You...you transferred another $10 million to me?""Mm-hmm!" Evan nodded casually."You said you don't have friends overseas right? This $10 million is for your girlfriends to accompany you abroad. So you won't be lonely."Whoosh! Their conversation had barely ended when the class erupted into madness again."$8.88 million, $2 million, and now $10 million more - $20.88 million total! Fuck, Evan's wealth is absolutely mindblowing!""So Evan was the hidden tycoon in our International Trade class all along! Even Lumina City's richest don't spend money like him. $20 million gifted in just half an hour!""I always thought my family was well-off for our class. Now I know Evan's the real rich k
Evan was rendered utterly speechless. Well, bashing his own head in with a hammer didn't seem like a great idea.Let it go, he told himself. Since the mission wasn't over, he'd have to go back to campus that afternoon instead of lounging at home. What a waste of precious nap time.Afternoon.Lumina City Business University. Business Psychology Classroom.The large lecture hall with over a hundred seats was filled with students.Although college was quite different from middle and high school, with more free time and optional classes that could be skipped, every single student had shown up today for this business psychology course. The reason was simple - this was the first class of the year for the junior international trade majors, and it was a required course where attendance would be taken. Those absent more than 10 times would automatically fail the class, so all the international trade students under advisor Abbie Rose had dutifully arrived at 2pm sharp.At 2:25pm, the lecturer
"The answer to this question is: First, it helps nurture good psychological qualities in negotiators, among which it can foster self-confidence, patience and sincerity,""...""Of course, if we want to extend this a bit further, let me give a simple example - the application of color psychology. The pairing of warm and cool colors can also influence the outcome of negotiations to some degree, for instance, the lighting setup in the negotiation hall..."Evan fluently rattled off the answer following the reptilian egg.Words clearly poured out of his mouth. This lecture-like response, seemingly at a professorial level, left everyone dumbfounded.Even the supervising leader standing at the podium was filled with admiration after hearing Evan's words."Did you come up with this yourself?"As soon as Evan finished answering, Sienna hurriedly asked.At this moment, the gaze of every student in the classroom was fixed upon the black-haired young man with fluttering hair. Faces filled with be
"Quite good, quite good! This Evan fellow is really not bad!""Not only is he not bad, he is very selfless!""To think our Lumina City Business University actually has such talented students!""..."The display of high EQ, serious attitude, and handsome looks garnered tremendous goodwill for this young man from everyone in the classroom.Just then."Ding ding ding", the ringing of the school bell interrupted everything. The education tycoons left the classroom first, but not before giving Evan looks of approval.After the prominent figures left, Instructor Sienna also clutched her textbooks, gave Evan a glance, said class was over, and strode out of the lecture hall.Their departure did not quell the commotion in the classroom.A group of students swarmed Evan, chattering nonstop around him. Even Cameron, Joshua and Mia who were sitting next to him earlier got shoved out from his sides.Evan helplessly smiled. These little tricks impress you all so much? If only you knew about the thi
