Building a Business in Great Zhou

Before Fan Yu was bound to the Management Simulation System, his life's ambition was to have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, and an endless supply of books to read.

Getting the System didn't change that goal.

He had just clicked to claim the Level 1 Beginner's Pack, a clan school, when in the real world his teacher called him over and gave him the chance to take the entrance exam.

Fan Yu studied hard, much to the System's satisfaction. But it never expected that this Host was only working hard so he could be an even better couch potato

After passing the provincial examination, Fan Yu sat by the hotpot, wrapped in a cloak, with a book beside him, smiling contentedly. “What's so great about the imperial examinations? Being an official is no better than going home to teach. I can read any of the thousands of books in the clan school. It's practically a heavenly life.”

System: “Once the Host places first in the palace examination and establishes an academy, the System will grant access to every book in its library.”

Fan Yu: “Don't stop me. I can keep taking the exams.”

In the end, tempted by the System's library, Fan Yu came first in all three imperial examinations and became the headmaster of the greatest academy in the land.

Fan Yu was in poor health and had to take medicine year-round.

Ye Zhi'an was unhappy that his beloved was neglecting him, so he protested by making him a strange-tasting medicinal brew. “How can I not be part of your life's ambition? Are books more important than me?”

Chewing on a candied fruit, Fan Yu slowly handed him a medical text he'd copied from the System's library.

Ye Zhi'an: “Quick, quick, quick, make room for me at your desk.”
