The day Chen Xu was fired, a countdown panel appeared before his eyes.
[You can transmigrate into a film world once a week. Complete a mission, and choose three of five possible rewards to bring back.]
From then on, every movie he'd ever seen became a cash machine.
In Goodbye Mr. Loser, he beat everyone else to the music library, then sold the song "One Time Is All It Takes" for a fortune in the real world. "My songs won't have any trouble finding a buyer."
In Ip Man, he stood by the grandmaster through his hardest days and brought back genuine martial arts skills.
In God of Gamblers, he sat at the table against Gao Jin and won a mastery of cheating techniques and mind reading.
In Let the Bullets Fly, he saved the boy who wasn't supposed to die. Before they parted, Zhang Mazi gave him a gun: "Those eyes of yours are wasted on anyone."
Skills, cash, rare collectibles... For other people, transmigration was an adventure. For him, it was a shopping trip.
A programmer who'd been laid off? That's all in the past.
Now he was the behind-the-scenes boss of an entertainment company, the youngest player at the table of capital, and a ruthless man who made everyone who'd looked down on him eat their words, one by one.
Then one day, a mysterious pawnshop delivered a gilded invitation:
"The things you brought back don't belong in this world."
"They must all be reclaimed within three months."
"We'll collect whether you want to sell or not."
Chen Xu smiled.
While he was stocking up in countless worlds, they were still tapping away at their abacuses.
"Anyone who comes to collect my things..."
"I'll make them cough up every last bit, with interest."
