1: Sincere gratitude brings rewards.

Jiangbei City.

Tengkong Residential Area.

A cozy, one-bedroom, one-living room apartment.

Jiang Chuan was sitting on the sofa, playing a globally popular real-life simulation game.

The Life Simulation Game constantly simulated one's life based on reality, allowing the player to reach the pinnacle of existence.

Jiang Chuan had played it for three years.

After simulating tens of thousands of times, today he finally ascended to the throne of the world's richest man.

Looking at himself ranked number one on the rich list on his phone, Jiang Chuan felt elated and immensely satisfied.

Jiang Chuan was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and managed to get into a key university through his own hard work.

After graduating from university, he was ambitious and wanted to start his own business and make a name for himself. However, without resources or connections, reality slapped him hard, making him realize that it was impossible for ordinary people to get ahead.

After his startup failed, Jiang Chuan honestly went to work for a small company, becoming an ordinary salaryman, working eight-to-eight shifts, and often being exploited by his boss.

Three years ago, he discovered this game, which could satisfy all his fantasies. From then on, he was hooked, until today, when he achieved the greatest satisfaction.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for becoming the world's richest man in the Life Simulation Game. The Sincere Gratitude System is activating."

"Ding! Sincere Gratitude System activated successfully."

"Ding! Newbie Gift Package requires activation: Please, host, obtain the sincere gratitude of ten members of the opposite sex as quickly as possible. Time limit: half an hour (Friendly reminder: This opportunity is fleeting and will not come again)."

As Jiang Chuan was immersed in his daydreaming, the system's clear prompt sounded in his mind.

"System?"

Jiang Chuan muttered to himself, his eyes wide, shining with excitement and fervor.

He seemed to have thought of something, and excitedly asked, "System, please explain your specific function."

"Understood, host. This system is called the Sincere Gratitude System. As long as the host receives sincere gratitude from others, after reaching a certain quantity, you will obtain an extraction chance. The extraction chance allows the host to extract anything from the game."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's inquiry, the system immediately answered him.

Upon hearing this, an unspeakable joy and anticipation surged in Jiang Chuan's heart.

This meant he had the chance to obtain everything from the game and bring it back to the real world. This was simply a dreamlike opportunity!

"System, what does 'sincere gratitude' mean?"

Frowning, Jiang Chuan looked at the task issued by the system and asked.

"The meaning is very simple; the other party only needs to genuinely thank the host from the bottom of their heart."

The system's voice quickly replied to Jiang Chuan.

"I see. This should be simple."

Hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Chuan smiled and said. He clearly already had an idea in mind.

Jiang Chuan immediately opened TikTok.

He decisively clicked into the Dance section.

He did not watch the major Streamers, as they were backed by capital and would look down on his small gift, meaning he might not receive sincere gratitude.

Only by giving gifts to these unknown small Streamers was it possible to obtain sincere gratitude.

"I hope I can really extract everything from the game, otherwise this loss will be huge."

Looking at the recharge platform in front of him, Jiang Chuan gave a wry smile and finally deposited twenty thousand yuan.

These twenty thousand yuan were all the savings he had accumulated over three years. After spending it, his bank card would only have a few hundred yuan left.

This time, Jiang Chuan could be said to have burned his bridges.

Jiang Chuan entered the room of a female Streamer named Xixi the Cutest. This Streamer was indeed good-looking, but she had very few viewers, only a few dozen people, and no gifts, just free 'little hearts.'

"Say thank you, and I will give you a douyin number one."

Although Jiang Chuan had watched live streams before, he had never given a gift to anyone, and his level was only one. He spoke decisively.

"Brother, are you kidding? A level one newbie account says he'll give the Streamer a douyin number one?"

"Brother, if you want to show off in front of these small Streamers, you should at least be a big shot like me, level 20."

After Jiang Chuan posted his comment from his level one gifting account, he quickly received ridicule from others in the live stream room.

Jiang Chuan completely ignored the mockery and asked again, "Say thank you, and I'll give you the gift."

Xixi the Cutest looked at Jiang Chuan's comment, unsure if Jiang Chuan was really going to give a gift or if he was just teasing her.

However, thinking that she had never received a douyin number one gift before, she finally said thank you.

"Congratulations, host, you have completed one sincere gratitude. Nine more required to complete the mission."

The system prompt quickly sounded in Jiang Chuan's mind.

"Streamer, don't believe this idiot. He's just teasing you. He definitely won't give a gift."

"Exactly, Streamer. If he gives you a douyin number one, I'll live stream myself eating sh*t..."

{ Pingdan Thirteen gave a douyin number one. }

Jiang Chuan merely glanced at the comments in the live stream, decisively gave the douyin number one gift, and then immediately left the room.

"Thank you, Boss, for the douyin number one."

Xixi the Cutest hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to actually give the douyin number one. She shouted excitedly, but when she tried to ask Jiang Chuan what kind of dance he wanted to see, she realized he had already left, and she immediately felt disappointed.

"Is the brother who just promised to live stream himself eating sh*t still here... "

"Brother, I'm really looking forward to you eating sh*t..."

Jiang Chuan had no idea what happened next in the live stream room; he had already moved on to another one.

"Say thank you, and I will give you a douyin number one."

"Thank you."

"Your thank you was not sincere. You are not worthy of my gift."

Seeing that the second female Streamer's 'thank you' failed to complete the mission, Jiang Chuan coldly left this message and departed.

"Heh, a scammer."

"Streamer, he really does give gifts! Another Streamer just said thank you and really received a douyin number one."

"Ah!"

The second female Streamer instantly screamed in regret upon hearing what the viewer said.

"Say thank you, and I will give you a douyin number one."

Jiang Chuan entered the third female Streamer's room and left this message.

"Thank you."

... Half an hour later, Jiang Chuan successfully received 'thank yous' from ten members of the opposite sex, smoothly completing the newbie mission.

In just half an hour, Jiang Chuan's gifting level reached thirty, and he also earned the title Brother Xie Xie.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully activating the Newbie Gift Package. You have received three extraction chances. Please choose carefully."

As Jiang Chuan completed the mission, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan's heart grew excited. He decisively opened the Life Simulation Game and found that there truly was an 'Extract' button added to his game interface. At this moment, his heart was ecstatic; this was all real.
