After the college entrance examination, life seemed to return to normal.
Wei Yuan gradually became more confident in the effects of his Third Form Restorative Power after several additional tests, and the fact that there had been no side effects for such a long time made him realize that his worries were unnecessary.
During this time, he had sold quite a few Antique Jade pieces, which earned him a substantial profit. Of course, these were mostly second-rate items that he had purchased from some jade processing factories introduced by Liu Haisheng.
The sales were also directly handled by Liu Haisheng's Jade Origin Studio. At this point, Wei Yuan couldn't help but focus on the jade business, especially the Jade Rough Material Market managed by Liu Haisheng, which was thriving beyond description.
Although the owner of the Jade Rough Stone Market was Ma Yanggang, the American online gambling tycoon and father of Ma Teng, Liu Haisheng, as the uncle, was reaping enviable dividends from his management role.
Additionally, through searching for flawed antiques in the Antique Market, he managed to find some rare items. Fortunately, after the college entrance examination, Liu Lei unexpectedly entered the Jinghai City Broadcasting Center under Liu Haisheng's arrangement.
This meant working at what is commonly known as a television station. These days, treasure appraisal shows are very popular. Through Liu Lei, Wei Yuan learned that the son of the elderly lady he had treated, Zhang Sheng, was indeed a responsible person at Jinghai Television Station.
With this connection, Wei Yuan was able to find many flawed antique pieces or directly assist collectors with restoration work, which also provided him with additional income.
Now Wei Yuan was no longer short on money; at least the concerns ordinary people have about owning a house or car were no longer on his mind.
For a young person from an average family without a strong background, the goal is usually to get into a good university and then secure an ideal job after graduation. However, these aspirations often tend to be overly idealistic.
In reality, during an era where labor shortages and high unemployment coexist paradoxically, finding a job is easy, but finding an ideal job is quite challenging.
While everyone else worried about their future, Wei Yuan had already relied on his Ability to accumulate savings that would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
According to Wei Yuan's own statistics, he earned nearly thirty thousand yuan from restoring old books. However, this was initially used to increase the Silver-gray Mist in his body to promote his Ability upgrade.
Then there were the numerous Video Disks he repaired at Fatty Gu Jing's shop. Additionally, through his Fan Club, he collected many damaged Video Disks and tapes, which brought in about fifty thousand yuan.
To date, this amount of money wasn't considered significant for him. Nevertheless, due to extensive use of Restorative Power promoting his Ability upgrade, he also made many friends in Gu Jing's Fan Club.
In fact, he formed a very useful network of relationships that would be beneficial for future development.
However, the most significant income came after upgrading his Repairing Ability. Once the second form of Restorative Power successfully formed, it marked a substantial increase in Wei Yuan's earnings.
According to his incomplete statistics, simply repairing defective Jade items has already earned him no less than two million, and this is after deducting costs. Even with the unscrupulous merchant Liu Haisheng making a hefty profit from it, he still managed to net two million.
Then there are some Antique restoration jobs, such as the Listening Wind Bottle, Tang Sancai, and ceramic paintings. The income from these is not less than that from repairing Jade, especially the Listening Wind Bottle that he tricked from Ma Teng, which allowed him to earn over a million effortlessly.
Moreover, he also won a BMW in a bet, but unfortunately, in a moment of impulse, he ended up smashing it. That was the car Ma Teng drove. Since that incident, Ma Teng has been more subdued and no longer dares to provoke Wei Yuan.
Now, only three problems remain troubling Wei Yuan.
The first issue is related to filling out college applications after the college entrance examination. After discussing with Lan Xue, they both reached a mutual understanding and proposed a common choice: Traditional Chinese Medicine College.
Indeed, this is the Jinghai City Traditional Chinese Medicine College mentioned by the old scholar Wei Yuan met after curing Zhang Sheng's mother. Later, Wei Yuan specifically looked up information about this school.
He found that the school's reputation is quite good; it ranks among the top three in Traditional Chinese Medicine colleges. However, nationwide, there are very few universities focused primarily on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Currently, they are facing significant enrollment difficulties as the public has increasingly lost faith in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This issue arises partly because Western medicine has spread rapidly and is more scientifically rigorous. Additionally, many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have been underperforming; some are even fraudulent Mongolian Doctors.
Lan Xue comes from a family of pharmacists, so her choice of major in Traditional Chinese Medicine naturally includes considerations related to the Blue Old Man. As for Wei Yuan, since he was introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine—especially after receiving Yang Ying's annotated notes—his interest in it has grown significantly.
With the recommendation from the Vice Dean and both of their grades exceeding the admission line, there should be no problem getting accepted.
The second problem is a side effect of an overwhelming Peach Blossom Luck: how to deal with the girls around him.
This issue is currently Wei Yuan's biggest personal dilemma. Given his personality, he doesn't know how to resolve it. First of all, he definitely does not want to give up on Lan Xue. As for Yang Ying, besides sharing similar interests with him, they also developed a relationship due to an earlier misunderstanding.
So just dealing with these two girls is already enough to give Wei Yuan a headache. On top of that, there's his increasingly dependent distant cousin Xie Yufei and Han Ling, whom he promised to help heal her burn scars. Their attitudes toward him have also changed significantly. Even Yuan Ziyi, who is as beautiful as an ice queen and clever as a fox, seems to have developed some different feelings toward him.
At this point, it raises a question: Should he drink alone or embrace them all?
Although Wei Yuan doesn't exactly have the troubles of a harem of three thousand women, managing five girls closely connected to his life who easily spark chemistry is already quite troublesome.
It's clear that he cannot easily let go of Yang Ying; they shared their first experiences together and have mutual affection for each other.
On a deeper level, there exists a feeling between them where emotional choices often rely on their feelings for one another when making decisions.
Of course, Lan Xue is also something Wei Yuan is unwilling to give up, which is why he finds himself in a dilemma.
Sometimes, Wei Yuan even thinks that since Yuan Ziyi's father can have two wives, and Ma Teng's father has countless concubines, why can't he enjoy such a blessing?
With extraordinary medical skills, an unknown mystical Ability, and now having millions to support him, Wei Yuan can barely be considered someone exceptional in the eyes of ordinary people.
So, is it feasible to challenge societal authority and overturn public perception while enjoying such blessings in a modern city?
This question completely stumped Wei Yuan himself. There was still a part of him that held a different opinion. It is understandable that for someone as ordinary as him, such rebellious thoughts might have crossed his mind, but he never truly realized he could actually achieve it.
Of course, this idea must be temporarily set aside by Wei Yuan because there is another pressing issue that troubles him greatly.
The third issue naturally concerns Xu Feng. He is neither a crime-fighting hero nor does he engage in such actions for the sake of eliminating evil from society.
Regardless of what Xu Feng is currently doing—whether it's adding stimulants to drugs for profit or engaging in kidnapping and robbery—none of it matters.
What Wei Yuan remembers is merely the scam designed by Xu Feng that swindled tens of millions and turned his father into a scapegoat, leading to the destruction of his family.
Thus, his purpose is very straightforward: revenge.
Even if Xu Feng were to abandon everything from his past, donate all the illegal gains, and transform into a person praised by everyone, Wei Yuan would still not let him off the hook.
In historical dramas, there’s a saying: "The hatred for killing one's father cannot be shared."
For this reason, no matter what happens, Wei Yuan will not allow Xu Feng to have an easy time. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood.
At certain stages in life, after completing certain tasks, one inevitably faces many life questions and choices about the future.
Wei Yuan is no exception. After the college entrance examination, there are many things he needs to do; how he does them depends on his choices.
The first issue is the matter of applying for colleges, which can be considered a significant decision.
The second issue involves personal feelings. To quote Stephen Chow: "We are dealing with personal matters; let's put national affairs aside for now."
It is evident that this issue is still quite serious. While others are considering how to find a partner, with various matchmaking programs becoming popular everywhere, Wei Yuan is contemplating whether to gather one or bring them all home.
The third problem is an eternal theme: revenge.
Choosing this path will undoubtedly cause Wei Yuan great pain, but he knows that if he does not seek revenge, he will suffer even more. This is an irreversible contradiction.
Moreover, there is no so-called rationale behind it. Watching the person who caused your father's death live freely and happily, while finding ways to harm others and amass wealth, anyone who can endure that is hardly human.
Thus, in this mindset, Wei Yuan has already made plans at this moment, even if Yuan Ziyi is dragging her feet, waiting for what she calls the right opportunity.
Wei Yuan can no longer afford to wait any longer. He is anxious and unwilling to sit back and watch Xu Feng and Shen Qingyi finish their act before arranging a scapegoat to escape once again under a different identity.
So even if there isn’t a suitable opportunity, he must create one; even without reason, he must fabricate a reason.
Wei Yuan has decided to seek an opportunity to completely dismantle Xu Feng's lair before the summer vacation ends.
He understands what kind of opportunity Yuan Ziyi is waiting for: it is when Xu Feng's front lines begin to stretch longer and longer but are also preparing to withdraw. At that moment, he needs to find a balance between the two and strike when the situation can no longer be concealed, taking advantage of the chaos to escalate matters further.
Another aspect is to catch them off guard, thus increasing the chances of a successful counterattack.
Wei Yuan understands all these principles; unfortunately, Yuan Ziyi cannot possibly comprehend what true pain feels like.
She is a woman who values benefits; she is a competent businesswoman and an exemplary leader. Therefore, her plans must be perfect and flawless.
However, regarding Shen Qingyi and Xu Feng, she clearly does not harbor as much hatred. Thus, her plans must be intricate and meticulous, ensuring that the probability of success exceeds a certain threshold before she takes action.
This is the most rational approach: either do not strike at all or ensure that when she does decide to act, it must be a guaranteed hit. The reason is simple: Yuan Ziyi's grievances with Xu Feng and Shen Qingyi are not as deep as Wei Yuan's relentless vendetta. Therefore, if she chooses to act, it must be capable of completely defeating them in one go.
Otherwise, it would only create another enemy. So without significant confidence, Yuan Ziyi would rather refrain from acting than take reckless actions.
The mindsets of the two are different; thus Wei Yuan knows he cannot fully rely on Yuan Ziyi's strength.
At this moment, he cannot continue to depend solely on Yuan Ziyi’s power to take the lead. He must devise an overall plan himself and then take the initiative to strike while ensuring that Yuan Ziyi can cooperate smoothly when the time comes.
Three problems lay before him; the first one had at least been successfully resolved, but the other two were not so easy for the time being.
Therefore, Wei Yuan would not force himself to act immediately. After successfully passing the college entrance examination and receiving his scores, Wei Yuan ended up with just over four hundred points, which was barely enough to gain admission to the Traditional Chinese Medicine College.
Interestingly, his Vice Class Leader, Chang Wei, had plotted to sabotage Wei Yuan during the college entrance exam. However, after facing Wei Yuan's retaliation, he ended up scoring less than five hundred points and couldn't even get into a second-tier university, which could be seen as poetic justice.
Wei Yuan finally accomplished something. When he left home earlier, he had originally planned to drop out of school because even if he managed to get into college, his family's financial situation would not allow it.
If it weren't for discovering the secret of his Repairing Ability, he wouldn't have been able to gather so much money in such a short time to resolve his immediate difficulties.
This gave him the confidence to return to school and follow the path he had originally planned. Although he would no longer rely on a college diploma to find a job, he didn't want to miss out on any part of the college experience.
So after successfully getting into college, the first person Wei Yuan wanted to inform was naturally his mother. He knew that his mother, Wu Shuzhen, had always felt guilty, primarily because she had allowed Wei Yuan to drop out midway through high school, making that decision in the second half of his senior year.
Therefore, after receiving his graduation certificate and admission notice, he naturally had to let his mother know to ease her worries. There was also something even more important.
Since that incident with Xu Feng's Futures Investment Company scam, where his father became a scapegoat and fell off a cliff while fleeing in panic, his mother had also suffered an accident during that time and broke her leg.
Due to delayed medical assistance, her legs were essentially rendered useless, and she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Of course, this was the medical conclusion and did not conflict with his Repairing Ability. When his Restorative Power advanced to its Third Form, Wei Yuan had already made up his mind through several human repair experiments.
He intended to use his Third Form Restorative Power to help his mother heal her legs.
Currently, his mother still lived at his cousin Xie Ge's house to avoid harassment from debt collectors. Originally, Wei Yuan planned to bring his girlfriend along to cheer up his mother, but he was unsure which one to take.
There were two girls closely related to him: Yang Ying and Lan Xue.
No matter which one he brought along, it would be a risky decision. In the end, Wei Yuan decided against it. When he arrived at his cousin's house, he realized how wise this choice was.
After making up his mind, Wei Yuan boarded a bus. Luoxia Mountain had been developed into a local tourist attraction over the past two years, so the bus routes in Jinghai City had added a stop there.
Thus, after passing through more than ten stops, Wei Yuan easily reached Luoxia Mountain. As he passed by Luoxia Lake again, the water still looked murky and dark; large pieces of trash floated on the surface, emitting all sorts of unpleasant odors.
Wei Yuan knew that this was because when he fell to the bottom of the lake, he accidentally absorbed all the restorative power from the lakebed into his mind, forming a Mist-like Space, which caused the strange scenery of Luoxia Lake to disappear.
Originally, Luoxia Lake would automatically restore itself within three days, even if someone dumped garbage, thanks to the restorative power at the bottom of the lake. Therefore, the water had always been exceptionally clear.
Regarding this, Wei Yuan felt somewhat guilty, but it was not something he could control.
At this moment, in order to surprise his mother, Wei Yuan did not call ahead to notify them. When he slowly stepped into Cousin Xie Ge's home, he discovered a graceful and charming figure.
This person was naturally not his cousin Xie Yufei; she was dressed in a tight-fitting sports outfit, with her hair tied in a ponytail, and seemed to be holding something in her hand.
The kitchen of Cousin was set up outside the main entrance, so Wei Yuan saw her squatting in the corner of the wall washing rice.
At this time, the sky was clear, and the golden evening glow illuminated her face, radiating a faint golden light all over her body, making her extraordinarily beautiful.
"Lan Xue, what are you doing here?"
