This Time, I'm Definitely Cashing Out!

Jiang Chao gets bound to a spending System.

The System's rules are simple: for every 10,000 yuan in virtual currency provided by the System that he spends, he can withdraw 1,000 yuan into his account.

The good news: the System gives him a whopping 900 million in virtual currency, and once he spends it all, he can withdraw a grand prize of one billion yuan in cash!

The bad news: the rules say the virtual currency can only be spent on necessary expenses.

In other words, he can only spend money on food, drink, and everyday necessities, not luxury goods. He can buy a Volkswagen, not a Bugatti. He can buy a one-bedroom apartment, not a sprawling villa by the sea.

He does the math. If he eats a 30-yuan bowl of malatang for each of his three meals a day, it will take him 10 million days, or 27,397 years, to spend all 900 million.

Jiang Chao decides he can't limit his thinking to malatang.

Unfortunately, poverty limits his imagination.

Then one day, he sees someone make a grand public confession of love and get rejected. A lightbulb suddenly goes off over his head!

Who says pursuing love doesn't count as a necessary expense?!

-

Jiang Chao decides to choose his one true love, who must meet the following conditions:

1. He must consider money beneath him and not be easily swayed by gifts Jiang Chao buys with cash.

2. He must have no worldly desires when it comes to love and never be moved by Jiang Chao's long-term pursuit.

3. He must be a man, and he must be straight.

That way, Jiang Chao can reduce his chances of success as much as possible, drag the pursuit out for as long as possible, and withdraw as much money as he can!

Jiang Chao quickly settles on a target.

His target is named Cen Jianxi, the true young master recently reclaimed by the Lu family, one of A City's most powerful families.

1. A wealthy family has plenty of money, so he definitely won't care about Jiang Chao's paltry offerings.

2. The true young master has only just returned to the family, so he'll be showered with love and flattery. Jiang Chao won't even rank among all those rich young masters and misses.

3. The young master is a man, and he looks like the cold, aloof sort with no interest in sex or worldly desires. He definitely won't fall for Jiang Chao.

The plan is perfect!

-

To make the chances of winning the young master's heart as low as possible, Jiang Chao turns himself into a champion-level greasy creep and launches an all-out pursuit.

The young master does not disappoint.

Jiang Chao spends a fortune buying the young master cars and houses!

The young master: "I don't need these. Take them back."

Jiang Chao looks disappointed, then takes the cars and houses he picked out entirely to his own taste for himself.

At four in the morning, Jiang Chao studies greasy pickup lines and cheesy love talk under the covers, then invites the young master out to pontificate about international affairs with the confidence of an expert!

The young master sighs and frowns. Even with his excellent manners, he can't hide his impatience.

Jiang Chao presses a hand to his forehead and smiles, then delivers the most devastating line in an irresistibly deep voice: "Baby, I really think you're my ideal type."

He buries himself in learning how to act like a gay man, seducing the young master clumsily day after day and looking as if he can't keep his eyes off the young master's body!

For the nth time, the young master politely turns him down. "I'm sorry. I'm really not interested in men."

Jiang Chao silently puts his shirt back on, then turns away and wipes the cold sweat from his brow in relief.

Acting like a greasy pervert around a man every day is truly torture for a straight guy. Whenever Jiang Chao feels he can't keep going, he takes one look at the growing balance in his account and finds the motivation to carry on.

-

At last, one day, Jiang Chao spends all 900 million and unlocks the one-billion-yuan prize.

In the middle of celebrating, he thinks of the young master, the world's most perfect cash-withdrawal tool.

He believes in seeing things through, so he grits his teeth and spends a fortune preparing a grand confession for the young master. He is just waiting to be rejected, as he has been so many times before, and leave the young master's life for good.

But beneath a sky full of fireworks, as Jiang Chao delivers the greasy confession he generated with AI, the young master looks at him and nods.

"All right, Jiang Chao. Let's date."

"?"

Jiang Chao's farewell speech catches in his throat.

...Bro, aren't you straight? How the hell did you fall for me too?

Oh my god.

Is this some kind of weird fetish?
