Cao Ran worked himself to death from overtime. When he opened his eyes, he found himself bound to a Dandy System.
Rules: Waste money and get scolded. The worse your reputation, the more points you earn.
But... buying gifts for elders doesn't count, helping the poor doesn't count, and buying books doesn't count.
Cao Ran flipped the table: ??? There are so many rules to spending money?!
Little did he know, the System was also falling apart. My chosen one of destiny was supposed to be such a big deal, so how did he turn into the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household?!
It could only force Cao Ran to squander money like crazy.
After a few missions,
Cao Ran grinned. These missions have loopholes.
The System demanded that he waste money and scatter cash, so he used the money to set up schemes.
The money was spent, his reputation was ruined, and everything was judged fair and square. Yet the Duke of Zhenguo's household not only failed to lose money, it actually grew richer by the day. Even the Emperor's rewards kept pouring in.
The System flew into a rage: No taking a cut! No accepting rewards! No... Violations must be punished with a bad-luck buff!
With the buff in effect, every sort of misfortune imaginable came Cao Ran's way. If he could think of it, the System could make it happen.
But Cao Ran didn't panic. He casually leaned against Marquis of Dingbei Huo Linchuan. You have your bad-luck buff, and I have my human "talisman."
The System's attempts to make things difficult all came to nothing. At last, it lowered its head and asked to work together.
Cao Ran: The advantage is mine now, so I get to set the terms.
Huo Linchuan had met plenty of dandies, but Cao Ran was the most interesting of them all.
He was always doing things no one expected, and somehow they worked out every time.
For the first time, Huo Linchuan took an interest in someone, and he was so forward that even his subordinates couldn't bear to watch.
Lin Rui, expressionless: General, do you remember how we promised under Mount Yanyun to stay bachelors for life?
Huo Linchuan, unfazed: When fate comes knocking, there's no stopping it.
Lin Rui: ...But the five hundred taels you took yesterday were my retirement savings.
Theme: Lie flat and make money, easy and enjoyable!
This system is so abominable, don't let it end badly!!! Then rise!
Oh my god, three thousand taels, how can I spend it?
