I Was Supposed to Die from Overwork, So How Did I Become the God of Wealth?

Qian Cheng never dreamed that after staying up for three nights in a row and dying suddenly, he would pass the Heavenly Court civil service exam and become a [Trainee God of Wealth].

And this God of Wealth job was hardcore in the extreme: as soon as he entered work mode, a golden QR code appeared above his head!

Granting the wishes of eligible mortals earned him Heavenly Court merit, double cash back, and access to divine privileges!

As a rookie, he started in the lowest-tier neighborhood.

He helped an auntie win a prize draw and cleared out a kid's toy-car wish list, only to run into his heartless former boss, who was ready to mock him for being unemployed and down on his luck.

Faced with taunts and scorn, Qian Cheng stayed unfazed. He used his God of Wealth skills to quietly turn the tables and began his road to becoming a tycoon.

He thought all he had to do was keep scanning codes to earn merit and get through his probation review. But then... schemes from business rivals, frenzied revenge from his former boss, and cutthroat office politics among his Heavenly Court colleagues all came one after another.

A cool, compassionate doctor at a clinic, a startup tycoon on the brink of bankruptcy, a street vendor with nowhere left to turn... one seeker of wealth after another showed up, each bringing problems trickier than the last.

As Qian Cheng scanned codes to make money, he also took the opportunity to clean up the business world and the workplace culture of the Heavenly Court.

By the time the tycoons and immortals came to their senses, the overworked wage slave they had dismissed as a low-level nobody had already amassed a trillion-dollar fortune and become the revered God of Wealth of the mortal world.

Faced with countless people begging to cling to his coattails, Qian Cheng could only spread his hands helplessly. "Honestly, all I wanted at first was to hold on to this iron rice bowl!"
