"Is your classmate prettier than you?"
Zack took a spoonful of ice cream and asked with a smile.
Minnie hesitated for a moment with her expression, then she wiggled her white, tender legs and said with a slightly troubled tone, "...Brother, how should I say it?"
"If I say she's prettier than me, then I'm basically saying I'm ugly."
"...But if I say she's not prettier than me, that's not right too, because she's really super pretty!"
The little girl got so confused that she muttered to herself, not knowing what she was saying.
"Anyway, she's incredibly good-looking, and many boys like her, but not many dare to actively pursue her."
Minnie also realized she had confused herself, so she stamped her foot and came to a conclusion.
"They're all just junior high school kids. How many of them really dare to chase girls? Only some of the precocious ones with a bit of confidence dare do that."
"...Early romance isn't afraid of being reported to the teacher's parents, and coming home with broken legs."
Zack chuckled and said.
They've all been there. Even though junior high school students today have more access to information, those who dare to actually pursue a girl they're attracted to are still in the minority.
Minnie glanced at him and said softly, "...You always call me a kid, but brother, if you encounter a girl you like, dare you pursue her?"
"Uh..."
Zack was momentarily speechless.
Dare to pursue her? With courage, he would dare.
But Zack also knew that this kind of bravery only amounted to confessing once, and he would immediately deflate if he failed.
And if he encountered a girl who was exceptionally pretty and definitely liked by many men, Zack knew he wouldn't dare to pursue her.
To put it simply, it was inferiority. Knowing that the girl was too pretty and excellent, pursuing her would be a waste of time.
If he couldn't get her, those with thick skin might be okay, but those with thin skin would suffer, feeling a kind of apprehension and fear that everyone would laugh at them, and then they would never dare to pursue other girls again.
The old Zack was like this too. He confessed under the encouragement of his friends and put on a brave face after failing, pretending to be indifferent.
And if he encountered a real goddess, he would only dare to sneak glances at her, not daring to even speak to her, let alone confess.
But Zack knew that he was different from the past now.
The emergence of the 'Life Reset Simulator' and the millions of funds in his pocket had given him enough confidence.
What he needed to do next was to hone himself, using this confidence gained from external things to truly become his own inner strength and accumulation.
However, this girl still deserved a spanking for daring to speak out this painful truth.
Just as Zack was lost in thought, Minnie, wearing sandals, lightly kicked his shin.
Zack looked up at her.
Minnie asked curiously, "...What are you thinking about, brother?"
"Thinking about how to beat you up," Zack smiled and teased.
"I'm thinking about how to find a girlfriend for you, and you're thinking about beating me up?"
Minnie's voice suddenly got louder, "...I was trying to help, and you turned my kindness into ingratitude. I won't introduce my classmate to you anymore."
"But you're using the phone I gave you."
This sentence left Minnie speechless.
"Alright, when we get back to the capital, I'll arrange a meeting with my classmate and call you out. After that, it's up to you!"
Minnie pondered for a moment and made up her mind to betray her classmate.
As a wingman, she was still qualified enough.
"Okay."
Zack casually agreed.
He didn't take Minnie's words too seriously.
The main reason was that there was a big difference in aesthetics between adults and children.
Just like Zack, his aesthetics had slowly evolved.
From focusing on faces to chests, then to legs, and as for the so-called looking at temperament, he hadn't reached that level yet.
Thinking about the girls he liked in junior high school, actually, looking at them now, they were still pretty, but not stunning.
"Let's go back after eating. It's not easy for your parents to come to Webb City, so let's eat at home tonight."
Minnie picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth, smiling sweetly, "...Okay!"
...
"Zack, why did you buy so many things? How much did all this cost?"
When they returned home, there were too many things to carry, so Zack directly called his father and uncle down to help carry them.
Seeing the electronic products and jewelry, both parents and their aunt's family were a bit startled.
His father and uncle could roughly estimate the prices of Moutai, cigarettes, and those electronic products, while the total price of the jewelry was easily identified with the receipts still attached.
Seeing that Zack had spent a hundred thousand yuan in one go, both families were stunned.
How many families have encountered such a level of expenditure at one time, aside from necessary expenses like buying a house, car, or renovation?
"Zack, where did you get so much money? Didn't you take out some kind of campus loan?"
Zack's mother's first reaction was not happiness, but concern about where Zack got the money.
"Mom, I'm not stupid, why would I take out a campus loan?"
Zack chuckled, "...Didn't I tell you I've been earning money at home during the summer vacation? I actually wrote a novel."
"...Here, this novel is written by me, and I used the manuscript fee to buy these things."
To convince his parents, Zack took out his phone and opened his novel's page.
Seeing that the author's pen name was Master Zack, and considering that Zack had spent so much money in one go, his parents and his aunt's family somewhat believed him.
As for the stock market, Zack didn't mention it because it was too exaggerated and easily frightened people if talked about.
He would tell his parents about it when he became even more successful in the future.
Right now, he wanted to let his family know about his first identity as a writer.
Minnie finally understood how Zack earned his money, of course, it couldn't be something like selling his butt.
However, if it were a beautiful and wealthy woman, Zack wouldn't mind playing with a steel ball, cough cough...
The little girl widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed, "...Wow, brother, did you write this book?"
Her aunt looked at her and asked, "...Minnie, you know about it?"
"Of course, I do. Many of my classmates liked this book and even introduced it to our class group. I didn't expect my brother to be the author."
The little girl's eyes spun, and her expression was excited. She was probably thinking about showing off at school.
"Don't talk nonsense at school."
Her aunt glared at Minnie, knowing what her daughter was thinking.
At this moment, Zack's mother was beaming with joy, feeling proud of her son's achievement. As a mother, she was naturally happy.
However, she still persuaded, "...Don't spend money frivolously. Why buy so many expensive things? We don't even need them at home."
Her aunt also nodded in agreement.
Only Zack's father and uncle praised Zack endlessly, "...Our son is showing filial piety to you. He can buy whatever he wants with his own money. You shouldn't interfere too much."
"...But son, don't buy Moutai next time. It's only good for gifts. We don't drink this at home. It's too expensive and not worth it."
At this moment, Zack's father was speaking up for Zack.
The prices of tobacco and alcohol weren't that exaggerated, and they were more practical for men.
At this moment, Zack smiled, "...It's just small money, no big deal. This month, your son earned over two million in royalties."
"...Next month, I estimate the manuscript fee will be about the same."
The house suddenly fell silent. Just as the parents and aunt's family were stunned and hadn't recovered yet, Zack casually added, "...And that's just the online manuscript fee."
"...The book is already being negotiated with the publisher. When it's published in print, it should be easy to earn a few million more. If we can develop the IP, I can't say it will earn hundreds of millions, but it's possible to earn tens of millions from this book alone."
Everyone in the family was stunned.
Minnie also opened her little mouth wide. Even though she didn't have a deep understanding of money, she knew how astonishing this amount was.
"Brother, so you're actually this rich!"
