In the brutal workplace of a modern city, Lu Yuan was a cautious miser, so stingy with himself that he wouldn't spend a single extra cent, yet generous and considerate toward his family, friends, and girlfriend. After graduating from college, he joined an internet giant, only to be callously discarded three years later in a round of “workforce optimization.” His career hit a wall, his girlfriend left him, and overnight Lu Yuan sank to the lowest point of his life.
Yet at his most desperate moment, he unexpectedly gained a **“Miser System.” Its only rule was: “If you don't spend a single cent within 24 hours, your account balance will automatically double.”** From an initial 72.58 yuan, to 145.16 yuan, then 291.32 yuan... The small figures in his account grew rapidly like a snowball.
But this was no ordinary game!
The System's “task rules” gradually came to light. Its restriction against spending money repeatedly pushed him to the limits of what he could endure: rent, debts, food, and social obligations all tested his patience and intelligence. And as the balance in his account skyrocketed, the rivals lurking behind the System began to emerge. This was not merely a contest between him and the System, but a life-or-death struggle between Hosts.
