[Pure feel-good fun] [She pursues him] [Duck soup] [Tycoon]
Zhang Mingyang unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a wealthy family's live-in son-in-law, owing five million from the start.
His mother-in-law humiliates him, his wife gives him the cold shoulder, and just as he's pushed to the brink, he awakens the Tycoon System.
Knock out a tooth from his wife's family, and he gets a cash reward of one million for each tooth.
Zhang Mingyang strikes back in a rage, and cash pours in like water.
His father-in-law falls to his knees and begs for mercy, while his ex-wife screams in despair.
From then on, he takes on every injustice:
Expose a shady businessman for selling fakes and win the artificial intelligence “Skynet” in a draw, giving him control over global data;
Rescue kidnapped girls and draw the combat prowess of a grandmaster of Chinese martial arts, crushing an underground boxing champion with one hand;
Take down a loan-sharking syndicate and win shares in an African mining company!
When Zhang Mingyang reaches the top of the global Tycoon rankings, the System suddenly reveals its sinister side:
“Justice value maxed out. Final mission unlocked: judge humanity's class system!”
Atop a neon-lit skyscraper, he looks down at the wealthy families below, tiny as ants, and lights a cigar with a smirk. “The game... has only just begun.”
Great article and great book!
