14: Ten times rebate

The mini-game popped up, and the pointer swung rapidly left and right.

At the same time, there was a small green bar on the box representing time, which scrolled and turned gray.

When the green bar completely turned gray, the QTE defaulted to failure, and the fishing failed.

The first time Chen Ming wanted to press the confirm button, he felt the timing was wrong.

He prepared for a second attempt in advance, and the moment the pointer swung back, he pressed confirm, successfully hitting the safe zone that randomly refreshed on the right side.

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the S-Class Skill: Tenfold Rebate!]

"Tenfold Rebate?" Just based on these four words, Chen Ming was a bit confused.

He chose to view the detailed description.

[Tenfold Rebate: All the money you spend will be returned tenfold, with no limit! Example: Spend 1 da xia coin, you will receive 10 da xia coin! Spend 100 da xia coin, you can receive 1000 da xia coin... and so on!]

"This skill is amazing!" With this, Chen Ming no longer had to worry about insufficient balance.

Because for him now, money would only increase the more he spent it; it couldn't decrease.

Spending all his money was actually harder than making money!

And...

"S-Rank is a tenfold return on money, so what about SS-grade and SSS-level?"

"Is it possible that the return type could be expanded to various supplies? Give out one can, and get back ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand!"

Chen Ming muttered to himself, becoming more excited as he spoke.

If he could really sign in for that kind of skill, even if supplies were scarce in the apocalypse, Chen Ming wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

He knew very well that once the apocalypse truly arrived, most food factories and agricultural production worldwide would halt, and food resources would only become scarcer.

If he really fished up a supply rebate skill, not only would he not have to go hungry, but it would also be equivalent to holding everyone's lifeline!

As the saying goes, people are iron, food is steel; missing a meal makes you hungry.

The longer the apocalypse lasted, the more precious food would become. A hot dog, a carrot, a pack of spicy strips... could all trigger a bloody battle involving hundreds of people!

Hunger could really drive people crazy! They would lose their minds!

Thinking of this, Chen Ming pulled back his thoughts and returned to Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

He planned to find time later to test out the Tenfold Rebate skill.

Right now, fishing was more important!

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Tea Set +1!]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Flashbang +5!]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a can of Freeze-Dried Cat Food!]

"Freeze-Dried Cat Food?"

Chen Ming comforted himself, "These freeze-dried foods are made from various chicken, duck, fish, and meat with water removed. They can barely be considered food, and there's definitely no problem with filling your stomach."

Anyway, with infinite storage space, Chen Ming thought, keeping them around might come in handy someday.

Continue fishing!

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining High-Quality Massage Chair +1!]

"Massage chair? This is good!" Chen Ming immediately opened his backpack and chose a placement location.

A green square area about the size of the massage chair would appear on the ground, moving with the phone's camera.

Areas where it could be installed would display green.

Areas where it couldn't be installed, such as being blocked by a wall, would display red.

Confirm withdrawal.

Looking at the successfully materialized massage chair, Chen Ming sat down.

On the electronic screen on the armrest, various functions were clearly listed.

[Massage Shoulder and Neck]

[Massage Back]

[Massage Waist]

...

Chen Ming selected the full-body massage function. The intensity was divided into three levels. He first adjusted it to gentle to get used to it.

Lying on it, his face was full of contentment.

It truly lived up to the word "high-quality," as if countless hands were soothing Chen Ming's tired and tense muscles.

His expression showed extreme enjoyment.

While enjoying himself, he didn't forget the main task.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Collectible Ceramic Doll +1!]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining 4090ti Graphics Card +1!]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a Huawei Mate 60!]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a box of Sugar Tangerines!]

...

Chen Ming found that fishing was really addictive.

Two hours passed, and he fished up a large pile of miscellaneous items. Although he didn't fish up any rewards that were particularly attractive or of special value to Chen Ming,

he just couldn't stop; it was extremely addictive.

[Phone battery below 10%! Please charge in time!]

It was the phone notification that popped up that interrupted Chen Ming's continuous actions.

Just then, the massage chair's timer function also ended.

Chen Ming stood up. His whole body felt, in two words, comfortable and refreshed!

It was just that his eyes had been staring at the phone screen for a while, feeling a bit tired and sore.

He had decided to go out and make a big splash, one hundred billion, no, after two hours of fishing, Chen Ming's current deposit balance had already exceeded five hundred billion.

He decided to take these five hundred billion, combine them with the Tenfold Rebate skill, and go on a crazy shopping spree!

Activate Buy, Buy, Buy mode!

See if there was a chance to spend his deposit from five hundred billion up to one trillion.

Having lived so many years, he had never experienced what it felt like for money to increase the more you spent it.

Before the economy completely collapsed and money turned into a pile of waste paper, he had to enjoy it thoroughly and cherish this hard-earned opportunity!

Leaving the villa, Chen Ming got into his sports car and drove down the mountain.

On the way, he had already decided to first acquire several large shopping malls!

Ten billion not enough? Then twenty billion. Twenty billion not enough? Then add another ten billion! Until the other party agreed!

Then, he would net tens of billions, get a shopping mall for free, and store all the supplies inside that he could use into his storage space.

Of course, the more supplies the better, and Chen Ming would never dislike them.

The storage space thoughtfully provided an automatic classification function.

Tool area, food area, weapon area...

Ten-plus minutes later.

Chen Ming parked his car in front of a large shopping mall called Ocean International.

As a sports car worth over several million, its appearance immediately attracted countless people to stop and watch, taking out their phones to take pictures.

This included Zhao Ya, the campus beauty, who was very depressed because she hadn't received Chen Ming's friend request acceptance for a long time, and called Lin Wei to accompany her shopping.

"What a domineering sports car!" Just seeing it, Zhao Ya couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to take a selfie sitting on it.

She firmly believed that posting it on Moments would definitely make countless sisters envious.

"Chen Ming drove this car before, it's exactly the same."

Because at this time, the sports car's convertible roof was closed, Lin Wei didn't know that the owner of that car was also Chen Ming.

'He can actually afford such an expensive, top-tier sports car!' Zhao Ya thought this, and couldn't help but take out her phone again, open the Penguin chat app, and check.

[Friend Request Status: Pending Acceptance]

"..." Zhao Ya.

She didn't expect that her first initiative wouldn't receive an instant reply.

'Are you resting?'

She silently comforted herself.

The next second, she heard Lin Wei by her ear, patting her shoulder, and excitedly saying, "Xiao Ya, look, look quickly! The person getting out of the car is Chen Ming!"
