1: Chapter 1: All Suffering, Only the System Saves the Day

Let's make a bet. If you've stumbled upon this book, you'll be a millionaire in three months!

A multi-millionaire in six months!

And financially free in a year!

First things first, can you do me a favor as a peerless beauty and stick with it for thirty or fifty chapters?

β€” Parallel world, you know how it is β€”

The bustling metropolis, a place of glitz and glamour, the Shanghai Bund!

The Magic City has always been a gentle trap and a money pit for the wealthy; at the same time, it is a place where ordinary people struggle to turn their lives around.

Unfortunately, in the great wash of time, those who can truly break through the cocoon and become butterflies are always one in ten thousand!

In the suburbs of Qingpu, an old, dilapidated dormitory building was partitioned by the landlord into rental rooms of various sizes, rented out to drifters who came to the Magic City.

Outside Room 302, Zheng Jing clutched the termination notice sent by the station group on his phone, his knuckles turning slightly white.

As the only "Order King" of the station for the past six months, he had always delivered orders through wind and rain, working his fingers to the bone, never complaining.

Even minor issues like late deliveries, which every delivery rider commonly commits, he rarely encountered. He could be said to be an exemplary employee of the delivery industry, beyond reproach.

But such an excellent delivery rider, during one delivery, refused an outrageous request from a female customer to help her clear the "sewer" that had been clogged for a long time...

As a result, the other party retaliated with a bad review and a complaint, completely unreasonable.

It just so happened that the station manager had long been jealous of his high earnings and the fact that he was stealing orders from others, so he took the opportunity to fire him directly, without even giving him a chance to defend himself!

The manager's actions made Zheng Jing angry...

In the end, he could only take a deep breath, pack his luggage, and roll back.

Taking out his keys to unlock the door, Zheng Jing didn't want to think about anything else now; he just wanted to hold his girlfriend, Liu Meng, and hoped to seek some comfort from her.

But as soon as Zheng Jing entered, before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Meng hugging her arms, looking at him with a cold expression: "So, Zheng Jing, you've been fired, right?"

"Um, I..."

"Alright, don't explain." Liu Meng interrupted directly, her tone full of disgust, "Let's break up."

"Huh??" Zheng Jing was stunned: "Why?"

"Why?" Liu Meng sneered, "You deliver food every day, running your legs off for just that little bit of money. Now that you don't even have a job, what will you use to support me?"

"My best friend's boyfriend can buy a bag that's worth several months of your deliveries. Tell me, what can you give me?"

"LV, do you know what LV is? People are throwing around top-tier brand-name bags like that, and following you, I really can't see any future."

"Zheng Jing, don't blame me for being realistic. This world is just that realistic. Not having money is the original sin... Besides, I've been investigated by your 'big' self for so long, you haven't lost out..."

"I'm leaving, don't try to stop me from pursuing my happiness..."

After saying this, Liu Meng ignored the dumbfounded Zheng Jing, packed her things on her own, and slammed the door as she left without looking back.

Without a shred of attachment.

"What the hell..."

Zheng Jing was completely bewildered!

What had he done wrong? He had clearly worked so hard!

How could he suddenly lose his job and his love?

Sitting blankly in the cold rented room, Zheng Jing felt that everything was absurd!

And Liu Meng, damn it, if you're leaving, what's the point of taking my rice cooker too?

Damn it, am I supposed to cook with my butt later?

Taking a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, Zheng Jing lit it and took a deep drag.

Being an adult, Zheng Jing didn't understand, but he respected Liu Meng's choice and didn't bother her again.

Looking at the salary he had just received after being fired, Zheng Jing gave a bitter smile: "That dog-faced station manager isn't entirely bad; at least he didn't withhold my wages."

At the same time, he felt strangely grateful to Liu Meng in his heart.

Let's just say she wasn't that bad of a person; she left just like that without spending his last bit of money!

Regardless of what happened, life had to go on.

Zheng Jing looked for a job for several days, but he didn't know if it was because the general environment was bad or what. Not wanting to continue delivering food, he couldn't find any suitable job...

Discouraged, Zheng Jing had no heart to stay in the Magic City.

He washed his face and bought a train ticket back to his hometown, a small, ordinary county town in the south.

He needed to heal!

And home is always the most peaceful harbor for those drifting outside!

After returning to his hometown and resting for a few days, Zheng Jing heard from a neighbor that there was a century-old Temple of the God of Wealth in a town in the small city, and praying for wealth there was particularly effective.

With nothing to do, he immediately brought incense and candles to make a wish.

"God of Wealth, could you please bless me so I can live the life of a rich man soon..."

As soon as Zheng Jing finished speaking, a huge, thunderous sound suddenly exploded from far to near in the sky!

It scared Zheng Jing so much that his whole body shuddered...

Zheng Jing looked up subconsciously, only to see lightning and thunder in the sky, dancing like silver dragons, which was very shocking!

Looking back, he found that the God of Wealth on the shrine seemed to be looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Damn, the statue is smiling? Did I sleep too many days at home and start hallucinating?"

Zheng Jing rubbed his eyes and looked again. At this time, the God of Wealth had a solemn expression, where was the smile?

"I knew it, it must have been a hallucination..."

As Zheng Jing was muttering, he was suddenly stunned!

Because he discovered that there was an extra plain, unremarkable ring on his left ring finger!!

The ring was flickering in and out of existence.
