[Underdog] + [Tycoon] + [Career] + [Playing the Fool to Catch the Wise]
I got laid off and returned to my hometown, where the whole village laughed at me.
Then I suddenly bound to the “Starforging System”: eighty million a day, but I could only spend it in this county.
Everyone said I was crazy.
Meanwhile, a “Glittering Tycoon” appeared on the world stage, with ten billion a day to spend anywhere on the planet.
He bought sports teams, islands, and rockets. The whole internet got down on its knees and called him “Dad.”
Everyone mocked me:
“Look at him, then look at yourself!”
Until one day, that Tycoon spent all ten billion. His System crashed, leaving him a trillion in debt, and he was blacklisted worldwide.
He knelt before me. “Please, take me in.”
I tossed him the keys to an apartment in the county’s talent housing complex.
“Starting today, you get a daily allowance of one hundred million, and you can only spend it in this county. Work for me and pay off your debt.”
Later, the media asked him, “You were once the world’s greatest Tycoon. Why are you content to work for a living in a small county town?”
He pointed at the prosperous city behind him and smiled bitterly.
“Who do you think built this town? My boss only gets eighty million a day... but the money he spends is just what the rest of the world has left over.”
Every penny you squander is paving my way.
