Su's Funeral Company.

By this time, Su Chen had already returned to the company, and the system's voice began sounding in his ears.

"Ding! Host successfully completed the first funeral task!"

"Task completion level: Perfect! Received Hundredfold Amplification Revenue!"

"First Perfect Rating obtained. Received one Lucky Draw Opportunity!"

"Rewards will now be distributed. Please check them carefully!"

"Hundredfold Amplification Revenue reward: this transaction earned one hundred yuan! Ten thousand yuan has been deposited into the host's bank account!"

Su Chen was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the rewards for completing the task to be so generous!

It seemed that reaching a Perfect Rating would grant him a hundredfold increase in task income. He had charged one hundred yuan, which had been amplified a hundred times into ten thousand yuan!

His phone buzzed. The money had already been transferred into his bank card.

Since it had been handled by the system, there was no need to worry about the source. Everything was legal and compliant.

Looking at the text message notification, Su Chen smiled in satisfaction.

His once-pitiful bank card had finally lived to see a four-digit balance. It had not been easy!

His first priority was to pay the rent for this storefront!

He still owed last month's rent. If he did not pay up soon, that landlady would forcibly take back the storefront.

He immediately transferred a total of five thousand yuan to the landlady, covering both last month's overdue rent and this month's rent.

The moment he sent it, the landlady replied with an exclamation mark and a question mark, clearly shocked.

Landlady: Yo!? Boss Su, did you strike it rich?

Su Chen: Hehe, sis, I'm paying you all the rent at once. From now on, I, Su Chen, will never delay your rent again! (doge.jpg)

Landlady: Brat, looks like you really did make money. Aren't you going to treat your big sis to a meal? (/knife.jpg)

Su Chen: Small business. Next time for sure!

Landlady: /angry /angry /angry Fine, then big sis will treat you to tofu tonight~

Su Chen: I'm allergic to tofu.

Landlady: /get lost

After chatting with the landlady for a few moments, Su Chen's mood improved considerably.

This landlady had a well-off family background. Rumor had it that she was an older unmarried woman. She clearly had an incredible figure, good looks, and a sexy, charming aura. Yet for some reason, she had never married. She lived alone while keeping watch over several properties, making her a fairly successful little rich woman.

His storefront was merely one of her many properties.

She usually took good care of him and had hinted at things many times. If Su Chen had not been so strong-willed, she might have waived his rent altogether.

He could not compare himself to her. He still had to work hard!

Now that he had the system, things should go much more smoothly from here on out.

Lying on the sofa, Su Chen casually scrolled through his phone.

Then the system's voice rang out again:

"You currently have one Lucky Draw Opportunity remaining. Please use it within twenty-four hours! Otherwise, this Lucky Draw Opportunity will be canceled!"

"A draw? Can I do it now?"

Su Chen hurriedly started the draw!

With a thought from him, an illusory wheel appeared before him. All kinds of rewards were listed on it—real-world wealth, status, and power, though even more rewards were related to funeral services.

Perfect Wheel Only after achieving a Perfect Rating can one obtain an opportunity to spin the Perfect Wheel. The reward obtained will be manifested upon the host or in reality through a certain method of conversion. Current Lucky Draw Opportunities: 1

Su Chen studied the wheel carefully for a while. It actually listed staggering amounts of wealth—houses, cars, even equity shares!

Of course, there were also more likely rewards related to funeral work.

There were performances, coffins, paper offerings, and more from traditional funerals, as well as opportunities for burial rituals from mysterious worlds.

No matter what they were, every kind of reward was something Su Chen lacked!

He immediately used the Lucky Draw Opportunity and spun the wheel!

"Ding! Starting the draw!"

The Perfect Wheel began spinning. A pointer moved across the endless rewards as the wheel rotated without pause!

A moment later,

The wheel gradually slowed. Under Su Chen's nervous gaze, the pointer slowly passed a seaside villa and landed on a reward consisting of four words!

"Ding! Congratulations, you have drawn the reward: Suona Funeral!"

"Ding! Beginning to impart suona knowledge and ritual music! Please concentrate!"

Su Chen felt a swelling sensation rise in his head. He quickly closed his eyes and focused with all his strength on the source of that sensation. It felt as though something was crazily drilling into his mind.

Meanwhile, over with Chu Guozhong's children.

Inside the relocation housing.

After seeing off the charity workers, the three of them sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Now that the relocation funds had been taken away by the charity, they had no reason to keep arguing.

"Three million yuan—that was a whole three million yuan!"

"Dad donated it all without saying a word!?"

Chu Anfu kept complaining, still finding it hard to believe!

On the other side, Chu Anlu put a cigarette between his lips and said coldly:

"Heh, Dad sure was a good man. He took three million yuan to save other people, but he would not save me. And I'm his biological son!"

"I really don't know what he was thinking!"

As he spoke, Chu Anlu took a hard drag from his cigarette, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"What's the point of saying that now? Dad's already gone. We can't exactly go ask the charity to return the money, can we?"

Chu Anxin let out a long sigh. She knew that the money had nothing to do with them anymore.

Just then, Chu Anfu casually opened his phone and happened to see a news article.

A Great Man in an Ordinary County Town: Uncle Chu of Qingyang County Donates All Three Million Yuan in Relocation Funds Before His Death!

The article had only been posted for a few minutes, yet it had already quickly surpassed one million likes!

It was steadily charging toward ten million!

However, the group photo of the three siblings in the article drew endless discussion:

"Don't these three siblings look a little too sad? They don't seem happy at all."

"Could Uncle Chu have donated the money behind their backs? These three don't look like good people. Could they be freeloaders who were angry because they did not get any money?"

"Obviously. They're heartbroken over those three million yuan in relocation funds!"

"I'm Uncle Chu's relative. His three children were always making a fuss and fighting over the relocation funds. Uncle Chu may have been angered to death by them!"

When Chu Anfu saw that final comment, it was as if someone had struck a raw nerve.

He kicked the table and roared angrily:

"Which fucking relative are you? I'll fucking kill you!"

Only then did Chu Anlu and Chu Anxin notice the article when they saw how fiercely he reacted. They immediately took out their own phones to look through it.

Seeing the discussion online, then thinking of how fiercely the three of them had fought over the property, only to end up with nothing in the end,

the two of them were overwhelmed by a complicated mix of emotions.
