Unparalleled Tycoon

Walking in the cold winter wind… Scattered and shattered are all dreams… Jiangzhou, a winter night, the cold assails. Chen Balang, carrying a small schoolbag, hums a little tune as he kicks a soda can in front of him. The can flies forward in an arc, striking with perfect accuracy a light shimmering pale blue under the lamplight. "Holy crap, that kicking technique is something else! I should have tricked my parents into sending me to play soccer. Better to go to Lanxiang Technical School! Now I can't even find a job!" Just as Chen Balang is muttering to himself, the pale blue light suddenly emits a blinding white light, striking Chen Balang directly in the forehead. "Holy crap, what the hell is going on…" Before Chen Balang could even yell, Bai struck him squarely on the forehead, and then, then he lost consciousness— "Ding, Lanxiang System is connecting… Ding, Lanxiang System is identifying the host… Ding, Lanxiang System is confirming the host's DNA… Ding, Lanxiang System has finished loading and is officially activated…" The incessant metallic sounds exploded in Chen Balang's head, and he abruptly opened his eyes. "What the hell? Who is it? Come out, I see you! Come out!" Chen Balang turned his head and looked around, finding no one there. He instinctively grabbed a brick from the ground. "Hehe, little Balang, I'm your grandmaster! The ancestor of Lanxiang!" A lewd voice rang out again, startling Chen Balang, who repeatedly turned his head to look around, but still no one was there. He was about to cry, so scared he was crying! "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Laozi, please show your power! I haven't done anything wicked! Amitabha, Amitabha!" Chen Balang muttered incessantly, his eyes closed and hands clasped together, his hands trembling. "Damn it! Are all the students at Lanxiang now like this?" the voice continued, a hint of contemplation in its tone. A moment later, Chen Balang was still muttering incoherently. The patriarch of Lanxiang grew impatient. "Have you ever read novels? Have you ever read system novels? You're the protagonist in a novel now, you know that? Money, endless money, you're about to have it all! Do you understand?!" Money? Endless money? About to have it all? Suddenly, Chen Balang wasn't afraid anymore, but a restless feeling rose within him… "What's going on?" he asked weakly, feeling like he was acting like a lunatic! "Alright, you're not afraid of money anymore, just like I used to be, haha! Enough with the nonsense, my hope for rebuilding my true self rests on you, so you'd better perform well! Tiger Girl is in charge of the system now! I have to hurry back, or my energy will run out!" With that, all sound vanished, and Chen Balang clearly sensed that his so-called patriarch had disappeared. But what is Tiger Girl? What is she? "Tiger Girl is me, and from now on you are my master!" A cute voice exploded in Chen Balang's mind again… Holy crap, this thing can even detect a person's heart? "Yes, that's right, Master, but you can choose to turn off the detection!" "Fine, fine, I'll turn it off then, otherwise I'd have nothing to say to you!" At this point, Chen Balang seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. "The system has started, the mission has been issued, Master, would you like to accept it?" Tiger Girl asked softly. "What mission? Can I not accept it?" Chen Balang asked timidly. "You can, but you'll be struck by lightning. That's the consequence of not accepting missions. In your current state, you probably won't even last one round, hehe!" A "hehe" came from Tiger Girl's cute voice, making Chen Balang feel extremely awkward. Struck by lightning! Damn it, this is bundled sales! Before Chen Balang could speak, Tiger Girl continued, "Just silently think of the word 'mission,' and the system will pop up! Okay, the system just finished merging and loading, I'm tired! Call me if you need anything! Don't bother me otherwise!" This thing says I'm its master? Who the hell is the master here? Chen Balang was furious, "Damn it, am I your master or are you my master?! Buddha!" "Hehe!" With that, Tiger Girl disappeared. Helpless, Chen Balang could only resign himself to his fate, thinking he'd deal with it when he had the ability! He silently recited the mission in his mind! Mission: Cultivating Aura! Mission Brief: As a chosen one recognized by the Lanxiang System, you must possess an extraordinary aura! Mission Guidance: Start with your attire! For a person of utter low character, aura begins with appearance! Mission Duration: 24 hours Mission Reward: 1000 points (one free reward) Failure Penalty: You can die! Starting Capital: One million ps: The host has unlimited money. Closing the task list, Chen Balang grinned in an unprecedented wideness, then… Hahahahahahahahahaha— Chen Balang excitedly sprawled out in the flowerbed beside him. Ding-dong, his phone beeped. Chen Balang took it out and saw that one million had arrived in his account! He slapped himself hard across the face! Ouch, it hurts! This is real, this isn't a dream! One step, two steps, one step, two steps Each step is a claw The devil's steps On this ground! Chen Balang unconsciously started singing, following the tune, and began to walk, but then, he fell! He scrambled to his feet, still incredibly excited. He kissed the million-dollar information, then nodded with feigned profundity. Twenty-four hours of mission time was enough; it was the middle of the night, and there weren't many places open for him to spend money. His immediate priority was to get a good night's sleep and recharge for tomorrow's pretense trip. Thinking of this, he smiled again! He walked out onto the street and hailed a taxi. He wanted to go to a five-star hotel and stay in the presidential suite!
