David Harris glanced at the zoo’s sign. Although he didn’t understand it, he was deeply shocked: “Why would you bring your own animals when visiting the zoo?”

“It’s not that I brought them, I bought them. These are chickens used to feed the tigers in the zoo. On the market, a chicken costs eleven yuan, but if you buy their chickens to feed their tigers, it’s half price.”

“Then... then why don’t you go feed the tigers?”

After hearing this, William Carter’s eyes sharpened: “I bought these half-price chickens fair and square, why should I feed them to the tigers?”

David Harris opened his mouth, hesitated for a while before speaking: “You’re basically taking advantage of the zoo.”

“Cut the crap, do you want it or not?”

“Yes, I love chicken!”

David Harris took the chicken handed over by William Carter, gripped its neck, and after taking a look, his expression suddenly became very complicated.

He could already imagine the scene where the zoo’s tigers and the staff try to balance the accounts, only to find that no matter how they check, the numbers never add up.

The tiger says, I didn’t eat it, don’t you dare frame me!

The staff says, stop talking nonsense, you’re the one who ate it.

The tiger says, you stole my chicken and now you’re blaming me? Anyway, I didn’t eat it.

The staff says, if you didn’t eat it, did the dog eat it?

“Brother Carter, why did you come to the zoo to buy chickens?”

“I plan to buy half-price chickens in bulk, sneak them out, and sell them at the market for ten yuan each. I can double my money in one go.”

“Then why did you only buy two?”

“I took a look, and the security guard at the zoo entrance looks pretty tough. I don’t think I can take him, so I called you to be the vanguard and help me test his strength.”

“Come on, Brother Carter, I’m the most timid one here. I even stutter when I try to curse someone, let alone fight!”

“Useless, all you know is how to eat!”

William Carter put his chicken into a plastic bag, then twisted open a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.

Speculating like this does make money fast, but it’s not something you can do all the time. He didn’t want trouble; he just wanted to make money standing up. Besides, this kind of petty scheme was far from the goal he had after being reborn.

William Carter stood up, handed his chicken to David Harris to take home for him, and then rode off to his next stop: the Jizhou City Library.

He was currently having a headache about how to earn his first pot of gold, but none of the ideas he’d thought of worked.

Damn, it’s really hard without a system.

But even without any ideas, he didn’t plan to just sit at home, because once a person gets lazy, they only get lazier. This was a truth he’d learned in his previous life, so he decided to come to the library to look for some books, to see if there was any “house of gold” hidden in them that might inspire him.

“How to Become the Charming Man Rich Women Love”

“Effective Opening Lines When Meeting a Rich Woman”

“Fifteen Gentlemanly Details to Impress a Rich Woman”

“The Glamorous Transformation of the Third-Generation Tang Monk”

“Successful Cases of Marrying into Wealth”

William Carter picked out a few books from the humanities and social sciences section, planning to study them carefully.

To be honest, given his current situation, he felt that the only shortcut to his first pot of gold was to find a rich woman. As a young guy, strong and healthy, working hard for money wasn’t shameful.

William Carter carried a stack of books to the reading area, but before he could sit down, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a corner in the southeast.

There sat a young girl in a fitted long dress, a small section of her arm resting on the table, fairer than snow. Her eyes, beneath thick lashes, were lively and bright, her lips rosy and full, and her smooth long hair draped over her shoulders, shining like pearls in the sunlight.

At that moment, the girl was holding a thick book, reading intently, her eyes flickering, quiet and well-behaved.

William Carter was stunned for a moment, as if a related memory in his mind had been activated.

Ethan Foster, the top student in Class 1, Grade 12, the silent and aloof “goddess on a pedestal,” the true “white moonlight” of Chengnan High School.

It was said that every day she was picked up and dropped off by a chauffeured car with wings, accompanied by a dedicated driver and bodyguard. Her family background was extremely mysterious.

Some said her father was a wealthy businessman doing international business, some said she was a princess exiled from the Beijing social circle, and others said she was an illegitimate daughter who couldn’t be seen in public. In short, there were all kinds of rumors, but none very credible.

However, Ethan Foster did have the aura of a rich heiress—cold and aloof, with no friends, and except for answering questions in class, she had never spoken to anyone.

It was precisely because of her icy, unapproachable demeanor, combined with the intimidating presence of her burly bodyguards, that although she had countless admirers, no one ever dared to confess to her.

Sophie Clark was already the dream girl of many, but even she paled in comparison to Ethan Foster.

After entering university, William Carter had met quite a few girls who could rival Sophie Clark, but Ethan Foster was still the one who always amazed him whenever he thought of her.

Mr. Lu Xun really wasn’t lying—there truly are beauties like jade in books.

But wait, was that really Lu Xun’s quote?

William Carter thought about it and decided it didn’t matter. Any famous saying he couldn’t remember the author of, he just attributed to Lu Xun.

At the same time, Ethan Foster seemed to sense someone’s gaze on her, so she raised her eyebrows and glanced over.

The moment her eyes met William Carter’s, her lashes trembled slightly, and she quickly refocused her attention on the book in her hands.

Truly aloof.
