170: Hidden Achievements Completed

Time flies when you're scrolling on your phone. By the time he finished dealing with things on the short video platform, the hot pot meal was almost done.

The hot pot meal was very quiet. Before starting, he had told the waiter not to bother him unnecessarily, and he didn't expect the waiter to do such a good job.

Even when adding soup, they did it with a silent smile, which made him feel very comfortable.

He motioned for the waiter to come and settle the bill. Before leaving, he also gave a five-star review. It seemed like such reviews affected their performance, and since he enjoyed the meal, he gave one.

It was already past 7 PM when he got home.

Chen Xiangbei first went into the bathroom to take a shower and wash off the hot pot smell that clung to him.

After showering, he headed straight for the e-sports room, found a random computer, turned it on, logged into his email, and started browsing through the job applications that had been sent.

He saw that there were over 2300 unread emails in his inbox, meaning more than 2300 people had sent application emails.

To show respect, Chen Xiangbei opened and quickly scanned every single email.

With his current focus, he could read one email in about 10 seconds, which meant it would take over six hours to read all of them!

This was undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task, but since people had sincerely applied, it wouldn't be right not to even look, and he also didn't want to miss out on some excellent individuals.

An excellent agent and assistant could bring him more income and help him handle more work and personal matters.

Therefore, it was necessary to spend some time carefully screening them. After all, he was choosing future work partners in the entertainment industry, and he needed to pick reliable ones.

...

Chen Xiangbei continued reading emails one after another, interspersed with some emails with ulterior motives, but he skipped over them.

When he encountered a relatively outstanding resume, he would mark it with a star to make it easy to find and reread later.

Unconsciously, Chen Xiangbei had been reviewing resumes for over three hours. Out of more than two thousand emails, he had only read a little over half, with the other half still to go.

It was almost midnight, so he stopped to have a cup of coffee and take a break, while also waiting for today's System settlement.

【Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +810,000 yuan, average hourly wage +115,174 yuan, System reward amount 25,110,000 yuan, Intelligence +0.15, Settlement Points +4500, please keep up the good work!】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for achieving the hidden achievement - Small Investment, Big Return. The Host used a minimal cost to create a 1600-fold return, specially rewarding the Host with Advanced Skill Upgrade Card*2. We hope the Host continues to work hard!】

"Swish~"

Chen Xiangbei excitedly stood up from his chair, not expecting this could also trigger a hidden achievement.

Although the actual income from the 1600-fold return wasn't much, the System seemed to value this kind of multiple difference.

Also, round numbers like 1 million and 10 million had triggered hidden achievements before.

He seemed to have figured out the trigger mechanism for some achievements. He guessed that when his balance reached a small goal (100 million), it should also trigger a hidden achievement.

Chen Xiangbei looked at his wealth value; it was now over eighty-four million, just about sixteen million short of a small goal. At that time, he could verify if his guess was correct.

There was nothing he could do; the rewards for hidden achievements were simply too generous. His skills were basically all obtained through rewards. Now he was just one Advanced Financial Skill away from collecting all the skills in the System store.

Advanced Financial Skill costs 30,000 points. His current points are 27,500, still needing 2500 points to exchange.

It would probably take about one or two days. By then, he would have all the skills in the Level 1 System store, except for the swimming skill.

He already had the Underwater Breathing talent, making it as easy to move underwater as walking on land, so he didn't need that Advanced Swimming Skill.

After making his plan, Chen Xiangbei started to look forward to it, like Dragon Ball, hoping to collect the "Seven Dragon Balls" soon. After all, you can never have too many skills!

As for the two Advanced Skill Upgrade Cards rewarded, Chen Xiangbei thought carefully.

His current Advanced Skills were: Advanced Driving Technique, Advanced Fighting Technique, Advanced Appraisal Skill, Advanced Fishing Skill, and the soon-to-be-exchanged Advanced Financial Skill.

To be honest, except for the Advanced Driving Technique and Advanced Fighting Technique, the others were quite useful.

The Advanced Driving Technique allowed him to easily control any vehicle except for military ones, which was already sufficient.

The Advanced Fighting Technique was already at the peak for Humans. Combined with his extremely high physique, in hand-to-hand combat, he was already at the pinnacle of Humans, feeling the loneliness of being at the top.

The remaining skills, Fishing, Appraisal, and Finance, were all essential for making money.

Fishing was currently his main long-term source of income; he had also tasted the sweetness of Appraisal today; as for Finance, there was no need to mention it, it was a huge money bag. If used well, he wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life!

He carefully analyzed and finally decided to upgrade the Advanced Fishing Skill and Advanced Financial Skill first.

The reason he gave up on upgrading the Appraisal Skill was that he felt his current appraisal knowledge was sufficient, and after a day of trying, he found that picking up bargains wasn't that simple.

If it weren't for encountering that Brother who was in a hurry to sell the 'Five Grains Harvest Bowl' today, his income wouldn't have been this high.

In fact, the antique industry is just too deep, with more and more counterfeiters. The number of fake antiques circulating on the market is extremely large, making it too difficult to find bargains.
