Luocheng.

Emerald Water Bay Residential Area.

Inside a cramped apartment.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Lu Yichen's voice was low as he asked Qin Ruoyan, who stood before him with a figure of golden proportions, clad in a black bodycon dress that hugged her curves, her long, slender legs wrapped in sheer black stockings.

Qin Ruoyan, one hand gripping her suitcase, opened the apartment door with the other and turned to reply coolly, "Yes."

Receiving her confirmation, Lu Yichen let out a laugh for reasons unknown, then said, "It's oddly uncomfortable."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"Crying would be undignified. Let me say it one last time."

"We should break up."

"Take care of yourself..."

Qin Ruoyan hesitated, words on the tip of her tongue, but ultimately left the apartment.

Lu Yichen leaned against the wall, pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it silently. He gazed blankly at the items Qin Ruoyan had gifted him, memories of their time together flooding back.

They had met during university, at a club event where Lu Yichen had inadvertently helped Qin Ruoyan out of a sudden predicament, and thus their acquaintance began.

As they grew closer, their relationship gradually became ambiguous. Seizing the moment, Lu Yichen confessed his feelings one night, and Qin Ruoyan accepted; that very night, they shared their first night together.

After graduation, Qin Ruoyan, blessed with striking looks, signed a contract with a modeling agency by a stroke of luck and became a model.

Lu Yichen found a job in his field at a modestly known media company. Though his income couldn't compare to Qin Ruoyan's, his monthly earnings, supplemented by freelance gigs online, still surpassed ten thousand.

But...

No matter how hard he worked, his salary was far from enough.

Their social circles began to diverge, and many barriers formed between them.

In the beginning, it wasn't so bad. Qin Ruoyan never despised his lower income, jokingly saying, "Then let me be the breadwinner."

But after two or three years of working, all their colleagues and friends had purchased homes in Luocheng, settling down.

Lu Yichen and Qin Ruoyan, however, continued to rent. They had calculated that, given their current salaries, even if they scrimped and saved, buying a house in Luocheng would be nearly impossible.

To be honest, he had truly worked hard.

Beyond his main job, he took on editing assignments and Photoshop gigs online. The most helpless part was, his hustle had even reached elementary schoolers—ten yuan a sheet for drawing hand-copied posters.

He was already doing everything he could, yet the money... Where did the money go?

Lu Yichen knew in his heart that Qin Ruoyan's departure was the best choice for both of them.

He could live more freely, without the suffocating pressure of buying a house.

Qin Ruoyan could pursue a better life, no longer forced to count every penny with him.

But this only made him feel more like a failure, unable to provide a safe harbor for the woman he loved.

"Sigh..."

Lu Yichen let out a long breath, stubbed out his cigarette, stood up and walked to the fridge. He pulled out several cans of beer, sat on the sofa, and began drinking.

One can after another, he managed to get himself thoroughly drunk.

At that moment, a mechanical voice rang out.

[Ding! Super Supreme Tycoon System has detected a suitable host and is attempting to bind...]

[1%, 5%, 7%, 10%... 99%, 100%. Host binding successful.]

[Super Supreme Tycoon System, activated!]

In his drunken haze, Lu Yichen thought he was hallucinating and paid no mind.

Then, the mechanical voice sounded again.

[This system is a cashback system. Whenever the host makes a purchase, we will issue a corresponding cashback.]

[The system will periodically issue tasks. The host may choose to accept or refuse. Attention! If a hidden task is triggered, it must be completed; otherwise, all cashback rewards will be revoked.]

This time, Lu Yichen abruptly sat up, realizing something was amiss.

A system?!

Was it the kind of system he was thinking of?!

Could this be some new type of scam?

Having had a few drinks, Lu Yichen dismissed it all as a scam and groggily searched for the source of the voice.

After searching for a while, he found nothing unusual.

Lu Yichen calmed himself and analyzed the situation.

Since things were already like this, why not try buying something first? If it's real, why not? If it's fake, there's no loss—after all, it's his own money.

Having reasoned it out, he immediately grabbed his phone, opened his favorite shopping app, and purchased a collectible figure he'd had his eye on for ages.

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, quick payment of 1,230 yuan, balance 53,170 yuan.]

"So satisfying! After so long, I finally bought it."

Just then, the system's voice rang out again.

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: thirty thousand.]

As the system finished speaking, his phone immediately received a transaction notification.

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, credited 30,000 yuan, balance 83,170 yuan.]

"Damn! It's real!"

His intoxication vanished instantly.

For years, Lu Yichen had only ever added items to his shopping cart, never daring to purchase anything, all in the name of saving up.

Since renting this apartment, he'd bought nothing for himself except necessities, all so he could one day afford a house.

Now, he'd broken up with Qin Ruoyan, and with this cashback system, he'd never need to bow to life's pressures again.

Twenty-something years—why did you only come now?

Confirmed the system was real, Lu Yichen emptied his entire shopping cart. After a spree of purchases, the system's voice sounded repeatedly.

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: two hundred thousand.]

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: fifty thousand.]

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: ten thousand.]

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: fifty thousand.]

With a succession of system notifications, transaction alerts kept popping up on Lu Yichen's phone.

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, credited 200,000 yuan, balance 253,170 yuan.]

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, credited 50,000 yuan, balance 303,170 yuan.]

...

[All cashback rewards have been issued. All rewards from this system are of legitimate origin; please use them with confidence.]

After reading these messages, Lu Yichen was dumbfounded.

Truthfully, he'd never seen so much money in his life.

With the system, he believed he'd soon achieve financial freedom, become the world's richest man, marry a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!

After the excitement, Lu Yichen began tallying up the cashback amounts.

He confirmed the first purchase yielded the largest cashback, likely because it was a high-value item, meaning the more expensive the purchase, the larger the reward.

The subsequent purchases were for cheaper items, so the cashback was lower.

"In that case, can I just buy cheap things repeatedly and let the system shower me with money?"

As he spoke, Lu Yichen opened his laptop and bought several games he'd always wanted to play.

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, quick payment of 3,564 yuan, balance 389,606 yuan.]

[Host has successfully completed a purchase. Reward: ten thousand.]

As soon as he paid, the system's voice rang out, but only once, then fell silent.

"What happened? Why did it stop? Did it get stuck? Can a system even freeze?"

[Your account ending in 590, Industrial Prosperity Bank, credited 10,000 yuan, balance 399,606 yuan.]

"Why did only one transaction alert come through? Could it be..."

"Could it be the system realized I was exploiting a bug and stopped issuing rewards?"

"What kind of system is this?! Its scope is incredible—it can even detect cheating."
