“This is all thanks to you, President Chen.”

Huh?!

Chen Mo paused, blinked, and took another look.

【host: Chen Mo】

【System Funds: 300,308 / 4 million】

【Personal Assets: 1,942】

【Settlement Cycle: One Month (Countdown: 4 minutes 38 seconds…)】

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands…

After confirming he hadn't misread it, he felt terrible.

Nani?!

When did an extra 300,000 in System Funds appear?

He clearly remembered it being 308 yuan this morning. In just over two hours, 300,000 suddenly appeared. Was that old guy trying to screw me over again?

Looking at the countdown, which only had a few minutes left, Chen Mo knew that the 4 million this time had slipped through his fingers once again.

Four million!

That was a full four million.

He had never seen so much money in both of his lifetimes, and just like that, it was gone.

Chen Mo slumped in his seat, feeling like life was meaningless. He had clearly tried so hard to spend the money.

【System settling…】

【System settlement complete. Beginning fund conversion.】

【Fund conversion complete. Beginning to replenish System Funds.】

【System Funds have been replenished. Please check, host.】

【The host has completed the side quest of owning another company. The reward has been issued; please check it, host.】

A mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

Chen Mo looked at his system panel.

【host: Chen Mo】

【System Funds: 8 million】

【Personal Assets: 5,641】

【Settlement Cycle: 2 months (Countdown: 60 days…)】

Looking at the cold system panel, the only consolation Chen Mo could find was that the System Funds had reached 8 million this time. If he succeeded in the conversion this time,

his personal assets could directly become 8 million.

Of course, his personal funds were also up to over 5,000 now, so he wouldn't have to live quite as frugally.

Right, there was still the system reward he hadn't claimed.

Wonder what it would reward him with?

Chen Mo found the system reward interface and clicked to claim it.

【Ten classic songs from a parallel world have been sent to the host's mailbox. Please check them.】

Ten classic songs.

Chen Mo curiously opened his mailbox and downloaded the songs to his phone and computer hard drive.

He took a brief look at the ten songs.

They were: invisible wings, The Lonely Warrior, Xiao Chou…

However, these songs didn't seem to be of any use to him. He couldn't exactly take these songs out and sell them for money. He was already having trouble spending his current funds; taking more out to sell would just be asking for trouble.

This system reward was really lackluster.

Whatever.

Even if he couldn't take them out to sell, it would be nice to listen to them himself.

Chen Mo gave himself a weak consolation, then put on his headphones, intending to listen to these songs from his past life.

However, he quickly realized something was wrong.

Why did the voices in these songs sound so familiar?

Damn,

Isn't this my own voice?

How did these songs from a parallel world become songs sung by me?

【host, there is no need to be surprised. Since these songs have no source in this world, the system has automatically calibrated them. The host is the original singer of these songs.】

Listening to the system's mechanical voice, Chen Mo tried singing a line and found that, just as the system said, he actually knew how to sing all of these songs, and to a masterful degree at that.

Did the system want him to become a singer?

Chen Mo leaned lazily against his seat and immediately threw that thought away.

Become a singer?

Running around for public appearances every day was tiring, and it wasn't even certain how these songs would be received in this world.

So, the real priority was still finding a way to spend the System Funds this time.

After all, it was 8 million this time.

But before that, he still had to figure out where that extra 300,000 came from.

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo sat up from his seat, looked at Shen Rou who was working, and called out.

"Xiao Rou, the company account suddenly has an extra 300,000 in funds. Can you take a look at who transferred it?"

He really wanted to see which rascal did this good deed.

"Alright, President Chen."

Hearing this, Shen Rou hurriedly checked.

After a while,

she found the transaction details.

"President Chen, it was sent from Snowy Sky."

Snowy Sky.

Hearing Snowy Sky,

Chen Mo frowned. Could it be that traitor Wei Yan causing trouble for me again?

After thinking for a moment, he called him directly.

"President Chen, are you looking for me?"

Wei Yan's voice came through the phone.

"Yeah, I saw that you guys at Snowy Sky transferred 300,000 to the company account. What's the situation?"

Chen Mo asked slowly.

"Chen Mo, you mean that 300,000? That's revenue from Tianlong Game."

"Hasn't Tianlong always been in a state of loss? How could there be so much revenue?"

Chen Mo asked, feeling a bit confused.

"This is all thanks to you, President Chen. You had the R&D department create a set of new equipment and set a very high price. I didn't expect that someone would actually be willing to pay for it."

"On the day the equipment was released, someone immediately charged 300,000 yuan."

"…"

Wei Yan spoke enthusiastically, his tone full of admiration for Chen Mo.

After a while,

Chen Mo slowly hung up the phone.

He finally understood; the settlement this time was actually his own doing.

He was the one who ordered the equipment to be developed, and he was the one who demanded the price be set that high.

And there actually was a sucker who went to buy this equipment.

That was 300,000!

Chen Mo was speechless. He casually opened Tianlong Game; he wanted to see which guy bought this equipment, and bought three sets at once, no less.

He entered the game.

He opened the in-game character leaderboard and, sure enough, saw three people wearing the same equipment as him.

And one person's name was particularly conspicuous.

【I am a Local Tyrant】

It was this guy.

Chen Mo instantly pieced together the whole story.

After being slaughtered by him, this guy wasn't convinced, and then he just happened to discover the newly released equipment. To get back at him, he furiously charged 300,000.

After figuring out the reason,

he wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he play any games? Four million was just thrown away like that.

However, what was done was done, and it couldn't be undone.

Looking at his in-game character,

Chen Mo secretly controlled his character to go to the wilderness to grind mobs, preparing to vent his depressed mood.

After a while.

Chen Mo looked at his grayed-out game interface and fell into deep doubt.

Just a moment ago, not long after he started grinding, 【I am a Local Tyrant】 brought a group of people to surround him. They were wearing the same equipment as him, and there were three of them. This time, they didn't even say a word and just beat him to death.

Looking at the mocking words in the chat room,

Chen Mo fell into silence.
