Middle-Aged and Treating Money Like Dirt

As a boy, Bu Yaoqian got the No-Cost System, which could turn into an artistic talent.

In an era when one in every ten people had a System, he thought it was useless. How was he supposed to get anywhere if things cost nothing?

So he promptly forgot all about it.

Twenty years later, unemployed, he sat on the street.

A well-dressed young woman spotted him, mistook him for a beggar, and prepared to give him a hundred yuan.

Bu Yaoqian refused.

To his surprise, that activated the No-Cost System.

Afterward, he admitted it was actually pretty great!
