Bai Chen stared at the glowing screen hovering in the air, disbelief still swirling in his eyes.

[Reward: Random Luxury Item + System Upgrade]
He looked down at his phone.
Ping!
A text from his bank. The number was real. ¥10,000 had been deposited instantly into his account.
"This… isn't a dream?" he muttered, staring at the digital balance.
A thin beam of golden light from the system wrapped around his wrist like an invisible bracelet. A voice echoed in his mind again.
[Reminder: Time Remaining — 9 minutes, 45 seconds.]
"What kind of task is this? Make ten thousand in ten minutes? I've never even made that in a month!" Bai Chen's voice trembled.
Then, suddenly—
DING!
[Hint: The host may access the 'Opportunity Radar'. Use wisely.]
"Opportunity Radar?" Bai Chen whispered.
The system screen shifted. A golden map appeared, highlighting nearby locations, flashing with tags: 'Low Opportunity', 'High Risk', and—finally—'Guaranteed Profit' in bright green.
The location? A small used electronics shop just three streets away.
[Recommended: Flip an underpriced phone. Market mismatch detected.]
Without hesitation, Bai Chen turned and sprinted.
5 minutes later – Hongxing Pawn & Electronics
The store was dim and dusty. A bored man in his 40s leaned on the counter, playing on his phone.
"Kid, unless you're buying or pawning, move along," he said without looking up.
"I want to buy that phone," Bai Chen said, pointing to a cracked but sleek model in the glass case.
The clerk raised an eyebrow. "That broken thing? You sure?"
"How much?" Bai Chen pressed.
"¥2,000. It still works. Just ugly."
[Analysis Complete: Real Value — ¥15,000. Software-modifiable model. Rare imported batch.]
Bai Chen didn't hesitate. "I'll take it."
He paid cash. The moment the phone was in his hand—
[System detected resellable asset.]
[Activating Market Listing AI...]
Before he could blink, the system projected a digital storefront. A description, price, and edited photo auto-generated within seconds.
[Listing uploaded to premium reseller site.]
[Buyer located. Transfer in process.]
DING!
[You have earned ¥13,000 profit.]
[Total Time: 7 minutes 14 seconds.]
[Task Complete.]
Bai Chen stood there in stunned silence as his phone pinged again — another bank deposit.
[Reward Unlocked: Random Luxury Item — Drawing...]
[Congratulations! You have received: Rolex Daytona (Platinum Model)]
POP!
A shimmer of golden light appeared in his backpack. Bai Chen reached inside — and pulled out a velvet case. Inside, a gleaming platinum Rolex sat like a king's crown.
[System Upgrade Available: Skill Store Unlocked.]
He stared at the watch, his hands trembling.
He had just made more money in seven minutes than his father made in three months.
He looked at his reflection in the shop window. His tired eyes… now burned with purpose.
This was real.
Meanwhile... back at Donghua High School
Liu Yuxi was scrolling through social media, smirking as clips of Bai Chen's humiliation earlier went viral.
Then her smile froze.
New Post:
📷 Bai Chen — spotted leaving Hongxing Electronics with a luxury Rolex?
💬 "Did he just flip a phone and buy that?!"
💬 "He's not broke anymore??"
She dropped her phone.
"No way… No way that loser—!"
But it was too late.
The rise had already begun.
