I Was About to Jump When the System Insured Me Against a Failed Suicide

[Tropes Subverted] [Benefactor Guidance System] [Rise to the Top] [Cousin's Comeback]

Chen Mo is nearing forty with nothing to show for himself. His younger cousin calls him “overambitious and all talk,” while his relatives berate him: “You might as well have studied in a dog's belly. Your college degree was a waste.”

A year ago, after seeing his elderly father through his final days, he lost the courage to face his bleak life. Just as he was about to jump, the Benefactor Guidance System forcibly bound itself to him.

[Ding! The System has insured you against failure. Please do your best to complete your mission!]

[Beginner Mission: Earn 100 yuan within one week.]

[Rules: If you fail, you must pay back one hundred times what you earned. If you succeed, you receive only double the reward!]

When Chen Mo put all his effort into failing right at the deadline, he received a 9,000-yuan reward. At last, he saw the possibility of turning his life around and bringing honor to his family.

But whenever he tried to time his failure perfectly, the System's “scheming” would somehow lead him to succeed by sheer coincidence.

He only wanted to treat his followers sincerely, yet became a breath of fresh air in the livestreaming world.

He wanted to lose money helping farmers, yet accidentally built a hit industry chain.

As titles such as agricultural aid pioneer, young entrepreneur, and government adviser piled up, Chen Mo became the kind of success his relatives could boast about, a man who had made a name for himself and brought honor to his family.
