120: Chapter 120 The early bird catches the worm

[You interacted with Meng Yawen and luckily obtained multiplier gold card *2. It is detected that Meng Yawen is a virgin; this reward is doubled.]

[Wall-Breaker: All attributes +4 (Title can be upgraded) (Lv2: 1/2)]

[Slot 5 Unlocked]

Although the second battle is stronger than the first, after the second battle, there is no third.

Many sports are interconnected; sometimes, it's not the case that the longer it lasts, the greater the consumption.

No matter how durable or full of energy many boxers are off the stage, once they truly get on stage, after a few rounds, they have to rely on willpower to persevere.

The intensity is different.

Tonight was the same; the extraordinary intensity made even a cheater like Zhao Xiaoshuai feel a bit overwhelmed.

A famous vessel is, after all, a famous vessel; it's truly not something an ordinary person can handle.

Fortunately, his little girlfriend's appetite wasn't too large, and she was eventually satisfied, making it a perfect conclusion.

Unknowingly, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

But some people couldn't sleep.

After taking a shower, Chu Xinyi lay on the bed but simply couldn't fall asleep.

Scenes she had glimpsed kept replaying in her mind.

Although there was no sound, those educational films she had seen while learning 'knowledge' popped up one after another to fill in the audio, dealing a huge blow to her pure and fragile heart.

“So Brother-in-law... looks like that.”

Tossing and turning, she found that dawn was almost breaking before she knew it.

“Idiot, big idiot, it's all your fault!”

...

...

Having already developed a biological clock, Zhao Xiaoshuai still woke up before seven o'clock.

His little girlfriend beside him was still sleeping with a satisfied and sweet expression, perhaps having some beautiful dream.

The facilities in this luxury mansion were all top-tier; the mattress was naturally expensive, the kind with excellent shock absorption.

Therefore, his movement of getting up did not wake his little girlfriend.

However, after the massive consumption of last night and fighting late into the night, he clearly felt a lack of mental energy at this moment.

“Right, I can take this opportunity to test the effects of Meditation.”

Since accepting the Meditation task, he had been studying theoretical knowledge.

He had tried it in his spare time during the day when his spirit was good, but he hadn't achieved the Stage One task evaluation.

This time, he specifically put on headphones, opened his favorites, and brought up a Meditation guide video he had listened to for years to assist him.

The pleasant voice clearly made it easier to concentrate, and he quickly found the feeling this time.

After only twenty minutes, with a 'ding', he opened his eyes again, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

[Task: Advanced Meditation]

[Stage One Task Objective: Achieve the effect of one hour of sleep through less than an hour of Meditation]

[Completed]

[Control +1, multiplier card Pack (10), Health evaluation increased]

[multiplier card *8]

[multiplier copper card *2]

“Great, it's Control again!”

It was truly a case of being handed a pillow just as he felt sleepy; Zhao Xiaoshuai had just felt his current limitations when he once again obtained an opportunity for a crucial attribute bonus.

But thinking about it, it was reasonable. The essence of Meditation is deep control over one's body and consciousness; rewarding Control couldn't be more normal.

Originally, this Advanced Meditation task was dull and tedious, and he had planned to do it slowly whenever he felt like it.

Now, he couldn't wait to complete all ten stages of the task immediately!

He closed his eyes again, trying to enter Meditation.

But perhaps because his emotions were fluctuating, or perhaps because his energy was too abundant, he couldn't enter that feeling again.

“Pity, that's it for today. I'll try again tomorrow.”

Since his girlfriend hadn't woken up yet, he took stock of his recent gains.

[Task: Become the Server Overlord]

[Conditions: Gain the Overlord recognition of at least 80% of active players on the server, and force at least two Overlord candidates to quit the game.]

[Emperor of Heaven (Quit), Taowu (Quit), Active player recognition in the district: 95%]

[Task objective achieved!]

“So my own alt accounts can also be judged by the system as Overlord candidates. That gives me much more room to maneuver; the difficulty of this task is greatly reduced.”

According to the task reward of double reimbursement for all consumption, his two slots turned gray, and he obtained a total of nearly 1.4 million in rewards!

This brought his savings to over 14 million.

Out of the five slots, three were still available; he could start a new game.

In fact, as his main storyline evaluation advanced, the cost-effectiveness of pay-to-win gaming was no longer that high.

In comparison, spending like he did during the crackdown on the telecommunications fraud gang was the most profitable.

But only reasonable pay-to-win behavior was recognized, and there weren't that many reasonable spending opportunities in daily life; he couldn't just throw money around like a super ATM.

The only feasible way was charity, but he didn't trust the various 'Associations' currently on the surface.

He could tolerate his money not reaching the intended people, but if it fattened some parasites, it would make him sick.

So in reality, he kept a certain number of permanent cards as backups and decided to invest his daily free-use cards into games.

After some investigation over the past few days, he finally decided to bind a mobile game themed around a certain ninja.

The reason for choosing this game, besides its popularity giving a chance to trigger system tasks...

...was also because it was a genuine pay-to-win PK game, and one could infinitely become stronger through spending without having to wait for special events.

Although events and gift packs definitely offered the highest cost-effectiveness, there was an important item in this game called magatama.

magatama can be embedded in equipment and Summoned Beasts to greatly increase combat power. magatama can be upgraded with gold coins, and gold coins can be purchased through recharging.

Of course, this exchange rate was extremely low, but it perfectly suited a god-tier tycoon like Zhao Xiaoshuai who spent money as if it were free.

He had already bought an account online with a full roster of ninjas, but its ranking was outside the top 100 in the server, which perfectly suited Zhao Xiaoshuai's needs.

So he still used two slots to bind two accounts; the other was, of course, for his use as a 'shill'.

With a large mobile game company like this, trying to insert oneself as an outsider shill wasn't easy, but fortunately, he went there with a resume.

In a mere ten days or so, making several big shots in a district angrily spend 700,000—such a brilliant record would tempt even a large company.

Moreover, he still signed a gambling agreement: no pay if the shilling wasn't successful!

The email was sent a few days ago; the management who could make the decision probably hadn't finished their vacation yet, as he hadn't received a reply.

However, he was quite confident. If it really didn't work, he could slow down the pace, split the resources into the two accounts, and cultivate two accounts with the potential to dominate the server, preparing for any future random Overlord tasks.

After sending the new game information and account details to his little sub, along with a five-minute morning wake-up call, Zhao Xiaoshuai stopped worrying about it.

Regarding the foot therapy project on Sister Hong's side, on the tenth day, she suggested terminating the investment to Zhao Xiaoshuai, which meant a final scale of about 1.3 million.

Her previous small foot wash shop was only worth about 200,000; it had expanded sixfold all at once, so it was no wonder she felt she had reached her limit.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoshuai sent Xu Yuyan over and asked Sister Hong to arrange a cushy job for her. Firstly, it would give her something to do, preventing her from feeling lonely when Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't have time for her.

Secondly, the two of them could supervise each other.

This way, Sister Hong wouldn't dare to casually drain this new shop, and Xu Yuyan wouldn't develop any inappropriate thoughts behind his back due to loneliness and emptiness.

After leaving another message for Sister Hong saying he wanted to meet the various 'bosses' she knew, he realized this setup was what he had wanted from the beginning when he invested in her.

Connections aren't just needed in the sunlight; often, those in the gray areas are more useful.

Having handled the trifles, he looked back at his cute little girlfriend; she was still sleeping beautifully.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, having recovered his energy, fumbled his way into the covers, intending to give his little girlfriend a morning greeting.

A day's plan begins in the morning.
