The group of four, led by Yue Qingqing, made a fortune from this venture.

The property prices in that area were originally severely undervalued, and now they're skyrocketing uncontrollably.

And due to the live stream, it even gained a sort of celebrity effect.

The house Zhou Yiran arranged for Gong Qiming was being sought after by fans at high prices, but Zhou Yiran released the news that Gong Qiming himself had already bought it.

This news further fueled the already rising property prices.

After all, this means you could be neighbors with Gong Qiming in the future.

Though the fan culture isn't well-established yet, the sheer number of Gong Qiming's fans is overwhelming.

Even if these fans create some buzz online, it's enough to put this neighborhood on the map.

Lu Zhu jotted down another note in their little book, "Even though everyone knows it's just a gimmick, and Gong Qiming won't actually live there, the more people discuss it, the more it becomes an invisible advertisement. I learned something new today."

The roommates were long used to this.

While Pan Muling is a die-hard fan of Gong Qiming, Lu Zhu is a fan of Zhou Yiran.

Of course, their motivations are different. Pan Muling often buys celebrity merchandise to help market their idol.

Lu Zhu, on the other hand, learns from this experience to find ways to make money, akin to an apprenticeship.

When Yue Qingqing mentioned that Zhou Yiran seemed to be testing the waters with this live stream and was planning to launch some live streaming site, Lu Zhu felt a surge of excitement.

"Actually, what we learn at school is mostly theory; it's better to gain some hands-on experience early," Lu Zhu cited an example of a billionaire abroad, "They dropped out from a prestigious university to start their own business, and quickly amassed a fortune."

Yue Qingqing was worried that Lu Zhu might get this idea and was about to dissuade them when Lu Zhu sighed.

"Sigh, but still, I need to finish my education. Many places out there still value a degree, and having a degree from our school can be quite impressive when mentioned."

It seems that academic pursuits are seen as a form of gilding rather than a necessity.

Mi Shu chimed in, "Speaking of which... have you heard? It seems like our school is in talks with two or three top foreign universities to exchange students, and each department might have a slot."

Suddenly, everyone perked up.

"Really?"

"Where did you hear this?"

Mi Shu replied, "I overheard two teachers discussing it quietly on my way back from class last time. It seemed like this was what they were talking about."

Yue Qingqing felt that this information was likely reliable.

Being a cultivator, Mi Shu's hearing was naturally superior to ordinary people.

The likelihood of Mi Shu mishearing something is slim.

The reason this news hasn't been publicly announced yet is likely because the school hasn't finalized a comprehensive plan.

But since the teachers are aware of it, it's probably almost confirmed.

The fact that Minghua University teachers treat this with such seriousness proves it isn't just any ordinary school.

Nowadays, going abroad isn't difficult, but being an exchange student is a different story.

The school would definitely cover all expenses, and the benefits would be far better than pursuing studies abroad on your own.

Even Yue Qingqing found herself filled with anticipation.

The world is so vast, and although Yue Qingqing has seen a lot, she still wants to experience more.

She often hears about foreign stories from her seniors.

The second senior traveled abroad for business, the third senior participated in top international exchanges, and the junior senior went abroad for film shoots.

But Yue Qingqing also wishes to see, with her own eyes, the landscapes that are so different from home.

Finally, a few days later, the school announced the exchange program.

Turns out, it is led by the state, uniting with ten top universities abroad, selecting the most outstanding students from each major for a year-long exchange.

The final selection criteria turned out to be quite simple: academic performance.

The student with the highest GPA in each major will be chosen as the exchange student.

The major Yue Qingqing is in happened to have one slot as well.
