Chapter 23: Sign-In Reward! Elegant Residence!
“Teachers, it’s about time for lunch. Let’s eat first and continue grading the papers afterward,” Li Meng said before leaving the office. She intended to have a word with Su Bai.
As Li Meng entered the classroom, she noticed most of the students in Class Three, Grade Twelve, engrossed in their books. With a mathematics exam scheduled for the afternoon, everyone was eager to perform well.
But when her gaze landed on Su Bai, she saw he wasn’t studying—he was on his phone.
Although he wasn’t the only one using a phone, Su Bai was different in Li Meng’s eyes. Fang Yifan and Ji Yangyang, destined for the foundation class, clearly didn’t care much.
Su Bai, however, was someone Li Meng saw as a rising star. Initially, she had believed he was underperforming and had even created a tutoring plan for him. But now, with his recent performance, such measures were unnecessary.
“Su Bai, come with me,” she said firmly.
Hearing Li Meng’s voice, Su Bai looked up from his phone.
“Hurry up, come along.”
“Alright,” Su Bai replied, putting his phone away as he followed her out.
As soon as they left, Huang Zitao turned to Qiao Yingzi.
“Yingzi, did Su Bai do something again to get called out?”
“I have no idea. He hasn’t done anything unusual today,” Qiao Yingzi replied honestly.
“You might not know, but I do,” Fang Yifan interjected, never one to miss a chance to show off.
“Oh really? Then tell us,” Huang Zitao prompted.
“Obviously, it’s about the exam. I saw Su Bai stop writing after just 45 minutes. Iron-Rod Teacher must think he wasn’t taking it seriously and called him out to criticize him.”
[Iron-Rod Teacher (铁棍老师, Tiěgùn Lǎoshī): A humorous nickname for a strict teacher.]
“Fine, but on one condition—I’m treating.”
“Perfect. Sharing a meal with you is good enough for me.”
“Let’s go, then,” she said decisively, leading the way out.
As they left, Teacher Pan Shuai, holding a freshly heated lunchbox, caught a glimpse of their departing figures.

Sign-in feature has been updated. Would the host like to sign in now?
“Sign in!” Su Bai responded.
“Ding!
Congratulations, host, on receiving an Elegant Residence.”
The system’s voice echoed in his mind, followed by a detailed image of the residence. Coincidentally, it was located in the same building where Song Qian lived. Ownership documents materialized beside him.
To Su Bai, such developments had long become routine.
He pulled out his phone to check the stock market results from the previous day.
It was Wednesday. The day before, Su Bai had received 1 million yuan as a sign-in reward, bringing his total stock investment to 4.1 million yuan.
When he opened the app, he saw his portfolio had gained about 10%—a profit of approximately 400,000 yuan.
Though his capital wasn’t enormous, he was satisfied. During this time, he had honed his trading skills and believed he could excel in the market with further effort.
Still, Su Bai wasn’t particularly attached to money. With the system providing daily rewards, wealth didn’t hold much importance to him.
After reflecting on this, Su Bai returned to preparing for the next exam.
