Chapter 8: Stock Prediction Scroll
Time slowly but surely reached 8 AM.
Opening the System's flash sale interface, today's flash sale items had finally refreshed.
Today, four items were refreshed again.
1. One hundred catties of premium apples, excellent taste.
2. One Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Pill, strengthens the body after consumption.
3. A local commercial apartment.
4. Stock Prediction Scroll, One-Month Edition.
Chen Pingan's gaze instantly fell upon the Stock Prediction Scroll.
The other three items were simply not comparable to the Stock Prediction Scroll.
If he could predict stocks, wouldn't he become rich?
Clicking on an item allowed him to view its detailed information.
It was exactly as the name suggested.
The effect of the Stock Prediction Scroll was that after using it, one could see the future trend of stocks.
However, the Stock Prediction Scroll was only valid for one month.
No wonder it said 'One-Month Edition'; so this was the usage time setting.
If there's a One-Month Edition, are there also Two-Month, Three-Month versions, or even ones measured in years?
If he could permanently gain the ability to trade stocks, that would be truly amazing.
Although it was only for one month, it was already incredibly powerful. Chen Pingan's gaze swept over the other three items, but in the end, he still chose the Stock Prediction Scroll.
Because only the Stock Prediction Scroll had the greatest value and the most potential.
The Stock Prediction Scroll was already bought, a direct one-yuan flash sale, costing one yuan to acquire.
After buying it, it was stored in the System interface; he just needed to retrieve it when he wanted to use it.
Once used, he would be able to see the upcoming stock trends.
How exactly he would see it was still unknown; he would only find out after using it.
But Chen Pingan wouldn't use it now.
Because once used, the time limit would only be one month.
And as long as Chen Pingan didn't use it, the scroll wouldn't activate.
Chen Pingan hadn't completed his preliminary work yet, so of course, he wouldn't use the scroll now.
The Stock Prediction Scroll was already acquired, but he had no capital.
This was also what troubled Chen Pingan.
"Should I borrow my parents' savings?" Chen Pingan thought to himself.
But this thought was just a fleeting idea; it was simply impossible to do.
"So where exactly can I get the capital?" Chen Pingan fell into distress.
Indeed, the first pot of gold is always the hardest.
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just rob someone. With my current abilities, robbing would be quite easy."
Chen Pingan thought wildly.
Rob?
How could he actually go robbing? Chen Pingan had too many ways to make money.
He would never do anything illegal.
Robbery wouldn't be difficult, but the funds acquired through robbery couldn't be used at all, as they would be a source of trouble.
Therefore, the first sum of capital had to be legal and come from a legitimate source.
Chen Pingan couldn't think of a solution for a while.
"For now, I can only put it aside and wait until I think of a way," Chen Pingan thought to himself.
The first class began.
Next, for Chen Pingan, it was definitely going to be a painful day.
Because he hadn't done his homework, he was punished by the teacher to stand and also had to hand in the missing homework.
Fortunately, he was already a third-year high school student, so the teacher wouldn't easily call his parents, which allowed Chen Pingan to escape that predicament.
He wasn't called in by the teacher's parents at this time.
Even though his parents weren't called, his days were still not easy.
Not only was there the problem of not doing his homework, but he had also forgotten all the high school knowledge from before.
Classes were particularly exhausting.
Chen Pingan already had the idea of skipping school.
Anyway, studying was for making money, and he now had the ability to make money, so why suffer and be scolded here?
However, thinking that his parents would be very disappointed if he skipped school...
Thinking of his parents' disappointed expressions, Chen Pingan could only endure.
Finally, the day passed.
"Chen Pingan, what's wrong with you? Do you still want to study properly? Are you not planning to take the college entrance examination later?" Li Mengyun walked up to Chen Pingan and said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I'll get good grades on the college entrance examination," Chen Pingan said confidently.
"Hmph, that's your business, I don't care," Li Mengyun tossed her head and walked away with her school bag.
Chen Pingan watched Li Mengyun's retreating figure, a smile appearing on his face.
This girl is still the same.
"I feel like Li Mengyun has a thing for you," Zhang Yong leaned over and whispered, his eyes full of envy.
"You're overthinking it," Chen Pingan said casually.
"Let's go, home." Chen Pingan slung on his school bag and also walked out of the classroom without looking back.
Chen Guoqing secretly walked to the entrance of an Internet Cafe, peering inside, his eyes showing a hint of shock.
Last night, after Chen Pingan mentioned the Internet Cafe, Chen Guoqing took it to heart.
However, he had to work during the day, so he didn't have time to check out Internet Cafes.
It wasn't until after work that he finally found time to locate an Internet Cafe.
There weren't many Internet Cafes at the time, and Chen Guoqing had spent quite a bit of time just to find one.
What surprised Chen Guoqing was that the Internet Cafe was actually packed.
There were only ten computers in total, all occupied, and next to these computers, many people were standing, watching others play, while also waiting for someone to finish so they could grab a spot.
It was the first time Chen Guoqing realized that Internet Cafe businesses could be so good.
This was truly astonishing.
In reality, Chen Guoqing didn't even know that this Internet Cafe wasn't a true Internet Cafe.
Because this Internet Cafe didn't have internet access; internet fees were still relatively expensive, so the Internet Cafe Owner didn't provide internet, only installed single-player games on the computers.
However, for people of this era, being able to play single-player computer games was already enough.
Whether they could access the internet or not simply wasn't important.
Moreover, the internet speed in this era was also relatively slow; even if there was internet access, the experience wouldn't be very good.
Chen Guoqing didn't rush home; he watched at the Internet Cafe entrance for over half an hour. Seeing how good the Internet Cafe's business was, he was genuinely tempted.
Just as Chen Pingan had said, there was great potential in running an Internet Cafe.
If he invested in a hot pot business, he would only be a small shareholder; he wouldn't have a say in the hot pot restaurant's affairs and wouldn't have autonomy.
But if he opened an Internet Cafe, the business would be his own, and he could be his own boss.
That feeling would definitely be different.
Opening an Internet Cafe, this business could be done.
Chen Guoqing thought with a fervent heart.
