Chapter 354: How to Spend Money 02

Chapter 354

On the way back, Xiao Qi was very excited.

She was almost skipping as she walked.

If Li Weijin hadn't been by her side, she would have run back.

It was actually a +1 to memory. Previously, the memory buffs always had a time limit.

But this time, it was permanent.

Memory was so important for studying. Consolidating through repetition and repetition, Xiao Qi would often still forget things.

There were quite a lot of subjects to study, so it was still a bit tiring for her. She had to spend more time.

Xiao Qi felt that she wasn't extremely smart, nor was her brain very functional. Her roommate Yun Shu read novels every day, yet she easily got second place in their class without spending much time studying.

She couldn't do that. She was the kind to work hard to make progress. Relying on spending more time and reading more books.

Having better memory would make studying a little easier. Xiao Qi felt this was great.

And Li Weijin, seeing that Xiao Qi was in such good spirits, wondered if it was because of buying a house. Xiao Qi seemed to really like the house. Li Weijin made a mental note, at least now he knew one of Xiao Qi's preferences, so it was worthwhile.

Today, Li Weijin didn't walk Xiao Qi to her dorm building. They parted ways at the cafeteria. He also felt going too far was unnecessary, this was just right.

When Xiao Qi returned to her dorm, it was already afternoon.

Miao Er and Wei Cheng were not there. Yun Shu was in the dorm reading novels while brewing tea, very carefree.

After Xiao Qi showered and changed into pajamas, she mooched two servings of tea and felt especially cozy.

She was feeling fantastic, she didn't even start practicing calligraphy and studying like usual.

Instead, she sat next to Yun Shu and also picked up a book to read. One borrowed from the library, about 16th century Spain during the Renaissance.

Yun Shu really knew how to enjoy life. Her tea set was expensive...Xiao Qi had bought one so she knew the price. Her tea was even more expensive.

Supposedly her dad had bought it to give to his superiors. It was very expensive, the kind that could decide whether you got sentenced to years in jail.

Over 10,000 RMB for a serving of tea.

After drinking the tea, the aroma lingered endlessly with honey, herbal medicine, and tea scents.

Glancing out the window, the sky was bright blue with wispy white clouds. Occasionally, an enormous bird flew by, flapping its great wings. Its tail was very long. Xiao Qi wondered what kind of bird it was, it looked very nice. The environment at Nantian University was beautiful, strange birds would often appear.

Looking down to continue reading her book.

University life was truly wonderful.

You could focus on studying. Studying was the main thing.

What students should focus on most now is absorbing knowledge. Socializing is secondary.

Studying takes priority above all else.

If she could finish her undergraduate knowledge and credits early, then take the postgraduate exam and go to an elite university like Tsinghua or Peking University, as Xiao Qi thought this through, she suddenly felt everything became perfectly clear. Her goal was well-defined.

Of course this was just the initial idea. She still needed to make detailed plans.

For uncertain things, Xiao Qi would not simply speak casually. Always feeling that speaking carelessly would in fact increase the pressure. What if she ended up unable to achieve it? Or she might unconsciously deviate from her original intentions because of constantly thinking about a set goal.

After eating, they did not immediately return to the dorm but went for a stroll at the student street. Dorm lights were not turned off on weekends and they wanted to buy snacks and browse the bookstores, gift shops, clothing stores, cosmetic shops and more at the student street.

Even Xiao Qi who studied diligently was willing to go out and shop.

So was Yun Shu. Although her mother basically bought her all sorts of brand name clothes and jewelry, the joy of girls shopping together was different. They could still haggle over prices.

That small handbag looked nice. That bracelet looked nice too. That dress is beautiful. Those shoes were also great.

Things at the student street were cheap. Two to three hundred RMB could buy whole body of clothes and items. Not all students could spend so casually though. Wei Cheng watched prices more sensitively when looking at these goods. Carefully picking each item.

Miao Er loved buying random things. Her parents gave her a lot of allowance money.

Yun Shu got the most allowance but had peculiar hobbies so wouldn't easily buy things.

Xiao Qi also quite enjoyed shopping with her roommates. But she bought less things herself now. She discovered that as one's money grew less, their spending became more fragmented in various areas, unconsciously reducing money bit by bit.

If you had more money, it seemed to be the opposite. You would spend a lump sum all at once buying a pricier item that could show off.

Having enough for daily needs was good.

The amount of money profoundly impacted spending habits. And spending habits in turn impacted how much money one had.

It was a vicious cycle for poor people. Money dwindled more and more. Well off people enjoyed the opposite effect of money multiplying from investing it well.

No matter what ideas they had, it did not affect the little joy of shopping they were having now.

Finally, Xiao Qi bought a hair band. Her hair had grown a little longer, enough to tie into a little ponytail. The hair band cost 7 yuan and 50 cents, and had a red heart pattern on it.

Mi'er bought a brooch, although she usually would not wear brooches. But the violin-shaped brooch was so beautiful she had to buy it. The brooch cost 160 yuan. The boss said it was a vintage item, an antique from abroad, with some history and stuff, bla bla bla... She also bought a pair of shoes. She liked roaming around everywhere, so she went through shoes quickly. The shoes cost 498 yuan, rather expensive.

Wei Cheng bought a blue fountain pen for 49 yuan. It had a small diamond on the top, very beautiful. There were fewer and fewer people using fountain pens nowadays. Wei Cheng had an artistic soul, and often wrote things by hand. Buying the fountain pen made her very happy, and she skipped merrily as she walked.

Yun Shu bought a braided rope bracelet. She was told it would look very good paired with her Cartier watch worth tens of thousands of yuan. The rope bracelet still cost 89 yuan, which was of course too cheap for Yun Shu.

Anyway, they were all quite happy on the way back.

The joy from spending money does not depend on how much you spend, the feeling of happiness is the same.

On the way back to the dorm, the mechanical voice in Xiao Qi’s head suddenly sounded: "Host has learned to use money to gain happiness, can correctly treat the value of money, and bring positive influence to people around her. Host is rewarded with Language Sensitivity +1."
