[Ding! Host has successfully completed the first special funeral service!]

[Task Completion: Perfect! Received Hundredfold Amplification Revenue!]

[Special Funeral Service achieved Perfect Rating, earning a Lucky Draw Opportunity! System Assisted Sign-up function enabled!]

[Rewards are now being distributed, please check carefully, Host!]

Another perfect rating.

"Reward of hundredfold revenue, this time earning twenty thousand yuan! It has been deposited into the Host's bank account!"

Such earnings were quite substantial for Su Chen at this point.

The text message notification rang again, and the money had arrived.

Following this, the newly enabled System Assisted Sign-up function also provided Su Chen with a detailed functional analysis:

"System Assisted Sign-up function enabled, customizing exclusive contracts for funeral services, legal notarization, and a series of other documents! Furthermore, the system's right to randomly send text messages to target clients has been changed to allow the Host to independently choose target clients and send advertising messages!" Good heavens, There's even an exclusive custom service contract, and legal notarization is included as well.

Su Chen rubbed his nose, feeling like he probably wouldn't need it.

At least in the first two tasks, the service targets had chosen to trust him, and the orders were completed with just a verbal agreement.

Without dwelling too much on the contract, Su Chen summoned the special task roulette.

[Special Roulette]

After achieving a Perfect Rating on a special task, one Lucky Draw Opportunity can be obtained, and the rewards received will be materialized in reality!

The appearance of the special task roulette is similar to the Perfect Wheel for regular tasks, but the rewards are vastly different.

The rewards within are more generous, with abundant amounts of both cash and shares in certain groups!

Moreover, some rewards are quite mysterious!

{Mandatory Full Platform Funeral Live Broadcast Opportunity}; {Teleport to Any Location Once!}; {Opportunity to Obtain a Promise from an Industry Big Shot!}; and other wondrous rewards.

Compared to the regular roulette, the special roulette

has rewards that are more than several times more generous!

Unfortunately, he only had one chance to draw!

Su Chen silently offered a prayer, then focused his gaze on the reward {Owned Fifty Percent Equity of Tengxun Group}, and began to spin!

The pointer on the roulette began to spin rapidly, sweeping across various astonishing rewards!

Then, under Su Chen's nervous gaze!

It slowed down gradually

And finally stopped!

Su Chen felt his heart race, his breathing tightening!!

It was getting closer and closer to his target reward!

Click!

It stopped!

It slowly landed on the reward {Owned Fifty Percent Equity of Tengxun Group}!!

"Holy crap!"

Looking at the roulette pointer, Su Chen was utterly stunned!!

His dream had come true, the surprise was too sudden!

That was half the equity of Dragon Country's renowned Tengxun Group. Forget half, even a sliver of equity would be enough for him to live lavishly for several lifetimes!

This was half!

He was rich! He was going to be rich!

"Ding! Congratulations on drawing the special reward: Mandatory Full Platform Funeral Live Broadcast Opportunity!"

"Ding! When this reward is used, the live broadcast of the funeral will be forcibly sent to various platforms!"

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded, and Su Chen's expression changed. He quickly looked at the special reward roulette again with great care!

Instantly, his smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched!

Damn it, the pointer that had steadily landed on Tengxun Group shares had, for some unknown reason, twitched by a millimeter to the side!

Just a millimeter away!

Precisely, without deviation, it landed on the reward {Mandatory Full Platform Funeral Live Broadcast Opportunity}!

"This (is) really (f**king) great!"

Su Chen felt like spitting blood, it was simply infuriating!

A frail old man, leaning on his cane, walked with difficulty down the street. His face was melancholic, and his hair was white.

His patched and mended clothes had long lost their original stitching, and a string of handmade bells was tied to his wrist.

With his every movement, they occasionally let out a clear, crisp sound.

His skin, marked with gray-black age spots, bore the deep traces of time and hardship.

His name was Nie Yugang, an ordinary retired worker.

In his youth, he had been a model worker. During those times of material scarcity, simply filling one's own stomach was considered fortunate. Yet, it was during those most difficult times that he encountered that child – an abandoned infant left in a pile of grass.

The cries from the swaddling clothes tugged at the man's heartstrings. Unable to bear leaving him to the wilderness, he carried the child home.

Little did he know, once he brought the child home, he would never be able to give him away.

In that impoverished era, managing to support oneself was already a feat.

Children like this, abandoned by their parents, would never be sought out by their heartless parents, nor would anyone be willing to adopt an infant.

Nie Yugang, unable to bear it, adopted the child.

However, he never expected that because he adopted this child, he would lose several opportunities for blind dates consecutively.

The reason was simple: who would want to be with someone who had a child?

He had even considered giving the child away, or even abandoning him!

But, his conscience wouldn't allow it, and each time, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Through these repeated choices, his life passed by.

Under Nie Yugang's care and upbringing, the boy grew up strong, eventually getting into a good university.

Now, he had achieved success in his studies and career.

However, the identity of an adopted son could not be hidden forever, and he wanted to find his birth parents.

For this reason, Old Nie had argued with him several times, causing quite a commotion. The child hadn't contacted him for half a month.

The child wanting to find his birth parents was only natural.

How could Nie Yugang not understand that?

But he just couldn't get past his own feelings!

Was it the selfish desire to have raised the child and have him provide for him in his old age?

Or was it the righteous anger towards the irresponsible birth parents who had abandoned the child in the wilderness, a fury born of their inhumanity?

Nie Yugang himself couldn't tell.

Now, There was no need to figure it out.

His wrinkled arm was now covered with the marks of needle pricks, large and small. This was something he had discovered in the past half-month. What he had always thought was a minor stomach ailment turned out to be cancer after a hospital examination!

The cost of treatment was too high, and it wouldn't cure him anyway.

Oh well, He gave up on treatment.

He prepared to welcome death.

Perhaps after he died, the child could search for his birth parents without any obstacles.

Thinking back on his life, he felt like he was now more of a burden to the child?

His ordinary life was filled with too many regrets, making his expression even more bitter.

"Su's Funeral Company?"

Unknowingly, Nie Yugang arrived outside a company.

Looking up, the company's signboard, with its bold lettering, instantly caught his eye:
