"The base salary is as high as 2,500 yuan. Performance bonuses are excellent. Single rest days guaranteed. Eight hours a day. No mandatory overtime—but every day there's the opportunityfor want
The recruitment manager, a round-faced man with a thick beard, eyed Su Yun with a lewd smile.
"May I ask… is there overtime pay?" Su Yun sighed inwardly, his brows knitting together. A fresh graduate with lofty ambitions, yet a fragile fate, he now found that landing a decent job was harder than climbing the heavens.
"Hahaha, you must be joking. Our company's overtime is voluntary, not mandatory. Of course, there's no overtime pay."
The recruiter's tone was polite, but his eyes carried naked disdain for Su Yun.
I'm giving you the chance to make money, and you're being picky? In today's economy, the boss can barely afford a new Bentley, and you're still complaining about salary? If you don't want the job, there are plenty of others who do!
"All right, I'll think about it." Su Yun had interviewed with several companies over the past few days—mostly customer service or sales roles. He was mentally drained, and there was something in the recruiter's gaze that made his skin crawl.
"Uh… Su Yun, was it? You look quite handsome. As it happens, I have a little hobby, you know?" The man's eyes gleamed with something sinister as he leaned forward, his hand reaching for Su Yun's.
"Ah…"
Su Yun shuddered.
Only after he dashed out of the building did his breath begin to steady, though his body still trembled. Never in his life had he encountered such a thing.
"This isn't Jiangcheng… feels more like I've stumbled into some den of filth." Su Yun tried to calm the hammering in his chest. If I'd stayed a moment longer, I'd have lost more than just my dignity.
A message flashed on his phone, and anxiety welled in his chest.
After hesitating, he finally texted home: Found a job! Good pay, good benefits. Don't worry.
Sending the lie left him with mixed feelings, as though a haze had settled over his vision. He felt utterly lost.
He had thought that after graduation he could secure a respectable job. But once he stepped into the real world, he realized how impossibly difficult it was.
He still had two thousand yuan in savings, but with Jiangcheng's high cost of living, even careful budgeting couldn't make it last long.
He couldn't bring himself to ask his family for more money, so he endured an empty wallet and mounting pressure.
The pressure is suffocating…
He glanced at his balance again—only twenty yuan left.
"What? Didn't I still have a hundred this morning?"
Where had the missing eighty gone?
Was my card skimmed?
Frantically, he scrolled through the transactions. The culprit revealed itself—several subscription apps had auto-renewed without warning.
The world seemed to collapse around him.
"If only I had a system bound to me… I wouldn't have to suffer like this." Su Yun squinted into the scorching sun, muttering in despair.
Suddenly, his vision went black. His head spun. When he came to, a faint blue screen shimmered before his eyes.
Ding! Congratulations, host, for binding with the Intelligence System!
From today, the system will provide host with daily intelligence.
Daily reports are delivered randomly. Keep them for seven days to unlock a weekly report; keep them for thirty to unlock a monthly report. The longer you hold them, the more advanced the intelligence becomes.
Su Yun trembled, dropping his bag to the ground.
Heavens… I just wished it, and a system appeared?
Why should I care about others' opinions now? Forget finding a job—this is heaven's gift!
Ding! First-time binding bonus—today's report will include one Lucky Intelligence.
Host may activate the intelligence at any time.
Su Yun bent down, picked up his bag, steadied his racing heart, and whispered, "Activate today's intelligence!"
Intelligence One: Hualin Supermarket is holding a free egg giveaway. Countless elderly will flock there. Arrive before them to claim thirty eggs.
"Tsk, tsk."
Those grandpas and grandmas can barely walk most days, but the moment free eggs are mentioned, they nearly bring down the whole supermarket.
To them, eggs were as precious as gold.
But to Su Yun? Thirty eggs wouldn't quench his hunger or solve his problems.
Intelligence Two: Due to market factors, pork prices will soon soar past beef and lamb, and remain high for a long time.
"What? Pork more expensive than beef and lamb?"
"I can't even afford chicken right now, let alone pork!"
"But… if I bought pork in bulk now, wouldn't that mean huge profits later?"
He checked his balance—twenty yuan. At current prices, that barely bought a pound and a half. He sighed and abandoned the idea.
Intelligence Three: Jiangyang Textile Factory's owner has defaulted on 3.2 million yuan in wages owed to 200 workers. Despite repeated protests, nothing has been paid.Recently, the owner purchased a Bentley, which has sparked rage in one employee. He plans to take drastic action.
"Ha… what could I even do? And why should I?"
These black-hearted bosses… they have millions for Bentleys, but not a cent for their workers. Claiming business is bad while flaunting luxury cars…
Such people will face retribution sooner or later.
He sighed, pitying the wronged workers, but he knew the information was useless to him. Even warning the boss wouldn't sit right with his conscience.
Three reports, and not a single one had practical value. Su Yun felt frustration rising.
Wasn't there supposed to be Lucky Intelligence? Something life-changing?
Intelligence Four (Lucky Intelligence): The Welfare Lottery has just released a new ticket—Super Lotto. Winning numbers: 06 07 09 12 15 32 + 07. Each ticket wins 5 million. Six tickets remain. Total jackpot: 30 million yuan!
"My god!" Su Yun froze in place.
Thirty million! A fortune that could change his life overnight!
This wasn't just luck—it was destiny!
His heart pounded as he fumbled with his phone, pulling up the nearest lottery retailer.
He couldn't afford to hesitate. Delay meant someone else might seize it.
"The sooner, the better. Complications arise from waiting."
Six hundred meters away. Two minutes on foot.
Under the blazing sun, a young man in a worn suit sprinted like the wind, his bag bouncing on his back…
