Everyone in the Country Sends Me a Penny a Day, and I Got It

[Urban fantasy, comedy and easygoing fun, city life, one female lead, play the pig to eat the tiger, System, tycoon]

[1.4 billion people nationwide, 14 million a day, backlash from wishes, revitalize the county, the state takes notice, karmic retribution, collective consciousness, guardian of the dragon vein, a System that can't be switched off]

Everyone in the country gives me one fen a day.

I'm Lin Bei, a wage slave in Magic City earning 8,000 yuan a month. Overnight, I became a cash cow.

The System says: Cannot be shut down, refused, or transferred.

I say: Then can I pay off my Huabei first?

They say: Comrade, you've been requisitioned.

Mission: Revitalize my hometown's county seat, growing its population from 280,000 to 500,000.

I say: I'm in operations, not urban development.

They say: You've got money. You can do anything.

I return to the county and poach workers with triple the salary, full social insurance and housing fund, weekends off, and no overtime.

Workers come streaming back from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

The county comes alive.

The local bigwigs get jealous.

A capital group tries to buy me out.

An international shadow organization tries to kidnap me.

The System unlocks a new feature: I can see everyone's hopes and resentment.

1.4 billion people give me one fen a day.

That one fen isn't money. It's the power of wishes.

It can make anything I want come true.

It can also bring me endless calamity.

I use the power of wishes to get back at my rivals, and my favorability plummets.

I use it to pursue a girl, and karma strikes back.

I nearly die.

My heart stops four times.

The System asks me: Keep playing god, or go back to being human?

I choose to be human.

The last one-fen donation comes from an eight-year-old boy.

His note says: You're a good person.

I cry.

The System shuts down.

The money is still there.

3.7 billion yuan.

I donate every last fen.

I establish the One-Fen Charity Fund.
