Hahahaha, I Got a Tycoon System

Chen Mo earned five thousand yuan a month. The day his girlfriend broke up with him, he hesitated for ages over whether to buy a cup of milk tea. Then, as he covered the cost of afternoon tea for his entire department, a cold mechanical voice rang in his mind:

“Tycoon Cashback System successfully bound. Every yuan you spend is automatically returned a hundredfold.”

Overnight, money became a numbers game. A 27-yuan latte earned him 2,700 yuan back; 12,000-yuan headphones brought in 1.2 million; and a 160,000-yuan transfer fee for a hotpot restaurant returned 32 million. From the shabby hotpot joint on Liuhe Street to an entire commercial building in Chengnan’s financial district, from a poor kid everyone looked down on to a rising business star who steadily drove real estate tycoon Fang Yuan into retreat, he spent money like water and made it like a bursting dam.

But Chen Mo discovered that the world was about far more than money. A Qing-dynasty bronze incense burner held traces of spiritual energy; a tattered ancient book recorded breathing techniques; and a sandalwood bracelet from Laoshan could calm the mind and steady the spirit. On the System panel, a progress bar labeled “Cultivation Module” quietly lit up: 11/1000.

In the city, he used fists and checkbooks to teach local bullies a lesson. In the business world, he crushed old foxes with insider information and cash flow. Meanwhile, in the shadows, the gates to another world were slowly opening. Money was his first key, spiritual energy the second.

“Spending money is about living better. Living is about spending even more money, and going farther than ever before.”
