005: The Sudden Wealth System?!
This feature made Lin Mi's heart skip a beat—didn't this mean she now possessed the ability to foresee the future? If she followed some influential figures, like the titans of the economy, couldn't she just coast along and reap the benefits? Suppressing her excitement, Lin Mi continued her exploration.
Upon entering the [Task List] section, she saw at the top: "Earn Positive Energy Points, Upgrade System Permissions," along with the methods for acquiring energy points. Daily Check-in: Click to receive 2,000 yuan in cash (directly deposited into [Me] - [Wallet]) and 10 energy points. Daily Tasks: Gain energy by following, liking, and commenting. In other words, her posts needed to have positive, constructive guidance; the system would then assess the impact of her words and award between 10 and 100 energy points accordingly.
"It's not much, but energy is energy," Lin Mi muttered contentedly. If her posts and comments gained more traction, the points would accumulate over time.
Further down, she discovered a crucial rule: What if she interfered or altered the outcome of a future trending event? Lin Mi read the explanation three times before finally grasping its meaning. In short, she could only make 'positive' trending events 'even better,' and the system would reward her with 500 to 100,000 energy points based on the final impact. However, if she tampered with 'negative' events and made things worse, her energy points would be deducted. If, in the process of improving a 'positive' event, things went awry or caused harm, the penalty would be doubled.
"That's pretty wholesome," Lin Mi chuckled, finding no fault with this rule. She realized this so-called 'Get Rich' system, despite its name, was essentially a principled, morally upright golden finger.
At the bottom of the task list was another explanation: Each time the system level increased (by accumulating energy points), she would earn a lottery draw, with prizes ranging from various cash rewards to 'wallet doubling cards.'
"This raffle is fantastic," Lin Mi praised cheerfully as she turned to the final section.
The [Me] section resembled a personal center, but the most eye-catching feature was the 'wallet.' She quickly opened it and saw a balance of 8,675 yuan.
"Huh?" Lin Mi blinked in surprise. Was she seeing things? Where did the over 8,000 yuan in her 'Note' app wallet come from?
She remembered loading 1,000 yuan at the start of the month to snap up flash sales during live streams, but after recent purchases, her balance should have been only around 800 yuan.
Curious, Lin Mi opened the transaction details, where an enticing explanation was displayed: Wealth Growth Privilege—At midnight each night, your wallet balance will automatically increase tenfold.
(๑¯∀¯๑) Wow~
Lin Mi was so excited she nearly jumped up. A tenfold increase every night? What did that mean? If she had 1,000 yuan in her wallet, it would automatically become 10,000 yuan after midnight?
"No wonder..." So that's why her wallet suddenly had over 8,000 yuan. Her previous balance must have been 867.5 yuan, and after the midnight update, it became 8,675 yuan.
...
Lin Mi instinctively gripped her phone tighter, truly feeling the power of this 'Get Rich Edition.' With this tenfold growth, wasn't wealth simply at her fingertips?
Scanning the page, she found the withdrawal instructions: Transfers from the wallet to her linked bank card would be recorded as 'stock/fund investment returns.'
Seeing this, Lin Mi's eyes lit up. Perfect—this solved the source-of-funds issue! The system was incredibly thoughtful and meticulous.
Besides the doubling feature, the wallet also supported deposits and withdrawals, but only money she earned legally could be deposited. Funds obtained through borrowing could not be counted in the wallet balance nor enjoy the wealth growth privilege.
This rule effectively blocked any loophole of using loans to exploit the system.
After thoroughly studying every feature, Lin Mi was so excited her fingers trembled. This mutated Note app was nothing short of a life-changing artifact! Foreseeing trending events, knowing friends' future activities, daily cash gifts, a balance that multiplies tenfold each night...
Lin Mi couldn't help but swallow hard.
Yet at the core of it all was the 'energy points.' Whether unlocking higher trending permissions, extending the number of days she could see into the future, or viewing friends' more distant activities, everything depended on energy points.
And the way to gain those points, especially in large amounts, was always linked to doing good deeds.
Did this mean that while getting rich, she had to strive to be a virtuous, upstanding young person?
...
Whatever the motive, it was undeniably to her benefit.
Happy with her fortune, Lin Mi put away her phone. The crowded, prying eyes of the subway weren't the best place to activate the system. This 'Get Rich Edition Note' was like a ray of hope in her life, a tremendous turning point for her future.
"Oh no!" Snapped out of her reverie by the joy of sudden wealth, Lin Mi realized she had missed her stop and hurried to double back.
**
At 9:40 in the morning, sunlight spilled over her, dispersing the subway's stifling air.
Lin Mi looked up at the towering Huanyu Corporation building. Once a place she gazed at in awe, now, in her eyes, it was just another office block.
The humiliation and anger of the previous night had been washed away by the miraculous wealth system, replaced by a new tranquility and resolve.
Without hesitation, she strode through the company's doors.
The receptionist's familiar smile greeted her. Lin Mi nodded politely, swiped her temp badge, and headed briskly toward the elevators.
It was just after nine; most employees were settling into their day. The scent of coffee still lingered in the break room.
Lin Mi moved with purpose—Human Resources.
She figured that Huang Wei and Wu Qian's group probably hadn't arrived yet, making this the perfect moment to cut the Gordian knot.
She opened the HR office door. The HR specialist, Xiao Zhang, was organizing files.
"Hello, I'm here to process my resignation," Lin Mi stated calmly, her voice even and her expression devoid of excess emotion.
...
Xiao Zhang was briefly stunned, clearly surprised.
She knew Lin Mi—a capable, diligent intern. Why this sudden resignation? Had Director Huang from the Planning Department pushed her too far?
