Good Things Will Always Happen

Having no business income for a year does not mean that you have no income at all for a year.

After all, with its own core customer base, the system's daily cashback is substantial, at 300,000 per day, amounting to over 100 million per year.

With this money, I can still live a life of luxury.

As for which to choose?

Zhang Yang chose not to choose anything, but instead chose to believe in science.

"Choose A!"

Finally, he made up his mind and chose option A, which meant betting that the aurora would appear tonight.

Bite!

The host has made a choice. Confirm your decision? Once confirmed, the option will be locked and cannot be changed.

The system prompted again.

The choice has already been made, why change it?

"Confirmed." Zhang Yang confirmed again without hesitation.

When she came out of the bathroom, Bei Wei was already wearing her pajamas, standing in front of the window, gazing absently at the night sky.

"Want to go out for a walk?"

Hearing footsteps, Bei Wei turned around and asked with a smile.

Zhang Yang also walked to the window.

As night falls, lights illuminate the entire Arctic Village, creating a scene resembling a fairytale world.

"Okay," he said with a smile.

A moment later, the two changed their clothes and left the hotel. For the first time, they stepped into this northernmost village in China at nightfall.

As soon as I stepped outside, a biting wind hit me, and the outside world was a frozen wasteland.

The nearest county town to Arctic Village is dozens of kilometers away. It's like a secluded village, with a sense of loneliness and isolation.

Fortunately, the night view here is beautiful.

In the distance, the square could be faintly heard with noise, making this year's New Year's Eve in Mohe Arctic Village more lively than usual.

"Actually, we already celebrated the New Year together." Bei Wei turned to Zhang Yang and said with a smile, "Didn't expect that, did you?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yang looked surprised. "How come I didn't know?"

"Of course you don't know," Bei Wei chuckled, affectionately hugging Zhang Yang's arm. "On New Year's Eve the year I joined the company, I was alone on the Bund. That night, I actually saw you."

"That year?" Zhang Yang was lost in thought. "Yes, I did go to the Bund that night. Oh, you were there too... By the way, why didn't you call me?"

"You forgot, I'd only been with the company for a few months then, and we weren't even that close," Bei Wei said with a soft laugh, looking down. "Besides, there were so many people on the Bund for New Year's Eve. Even though we seemed close, we were... worlds apart..."

"So close yet so far?" Zhang Yang chuckled softly.

If it were now, the situation would likely be completely the opposite.

Now, even if the two are thousands of miles apart, he can fly there whenever he wants, turning a thousand miles into a mere stone's throw.

Money power truly has superpowers.

The two walked lightly on the crunching snow, reminiscing about the past, until they reached the North Pole Square in the Arctic Village.

It seems that all the tourists from Arctic Village have gathered at Seven Star Square.

Around a bonfire, a group of people danced and sang, as if they were prepared to stay up until the very last second of the new year.

Where are the aurora borealis?

"Didn't they say there would be an aurora borealis tonight?"

"No aurora, but there are lasers and fireworks..."

The tourists around them chatted and laughed in hushed tones, glancing occasionally at the fireworks rising into the sky and the crisscrossing visual lasers.

At this point, whether or not you see the aurora isn't really that important; just have fun and enjoy yourself. If you do see the aurora, consider it a New Year's Eve gift.

Zhang Yang was the same.

Since the outcome is already predetermined, whether it's good or bad, why force it?

Thinking back on the past year since he acquired the system, everything has gone smoothly without him experiencing any setbacks. Even if he were to make a mistake once, he would be mentally prepared.

"Come on, let's go inside and take a look." Zhang Yang took Bei Wei's hand and walked into the crowd.

The campfire blazed, its light a rare burst of noise under the night sky of Arctic Village.

Amidst a sky full of fireworks, Zhang Yang and Bei Wei stood in the crowd, the firelight illuminating their faces as they smiled at each other.

··

The nights in Mohe are very cold.

So staying outdoors until midnight is obviously not realistic.

After the commotion subsided, most people couldn't stay awake any longer and returned to their guesthouses, planning to stay there until midnight to ring in the new year before coming out again.

Zhang Yang and Bei Wei strolled around Arctic Village for a while before heading back.

Time passed by, minute by minute, and before we knew it, it was almost midnight.

Inside the room, Zhang Yang's phone kept receiving messages, one after another wishing him a Happy New Year.

"So busy?" Bei Wei looked over with a smile.

Zhang Yang held the phone, thought for a moment, and said, "You really want to see? If you're so curious, it's not impossible for you to see it."

"Who wants to see this? I don't want to cause myself any trouble." Bei Wei said lightly, then gave Zhang Yang a light bite. "Anyway, this year's New Year's Eve is mine, and no one can take it away from me. Thinking about it that way, I feel much better."

"You're so easily satisfied." Zhang Yang pinched Bei Wei's nose, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, and waited for midnight to arrive.

I used to imagine New Year's Eve as a time of noise, grandeur, and revelry...

But he hadn't expected this particular situation.

In this isolated village in the far north of the motherland, he held the girl who called him "husband" in his arms. Outside, all was covered in ice and snow, as if only the two of them remained in the world.

Then, let time slow down, counting down second by second.

"Today's New Year's Eve is the most meaningful day of my life, bar none." Bei Wei lay in Zhang Yang's arms, gently tilting her head back to give him an infinitely tender kiss.

"But we didn't see the aurora borealis," Zhang Yang said, holding his little girl.

"Having you is enough," Bei Wei murmured softly. "Happy New Year, my love, I love you."

Suddenly, fireworks burst into the sky in the distance, and the faint sounds of "Happy New Year" drifted in from outside the window.

Midnight has passed.

One day marks the beginning of this year, while the events of a year ago are now in vain.

"I... love you too," Zhang Yang replied, leaning down.

The task at hand seemed unimportant now. He cast aside all the myriad thoughts in his mind and devoted himself entirely to every single moment of this instant.

Bei Wei smiled, hooking her arm around the neck of the person in front of her, her eyes filled with joy.

"Hey? Honey, look!"

Bei Wei opened her eyes, then widened them suddenly, looking out the window with an expression of immense surprise.

Zhang Yang also turned around and looked out the window.

"This is··"

In the far distance, the pitch-black night sky was suddenly adorned with a dazzling array of lights—deep red, pale green, violet...

It was an incredibly rare three-colored aurora.

Even though I had given up hope and calmly accepted the fact that I wouldn't see the aurora, sometimes good things happen when you don't force them.

The aurora appeared without any warning.

"So beautiful!" Bei Wei murmured to herself.

Outside, gasps of surprise rose and fell.

"Look at the aurora!"

"It really is the aurora borealis!"

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

"Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up and go see the aurora!" Bei Jiajia's voice came from outside the door. "It'll be too late if we're late! What are you two doing? Are you asleep?"

Zhang Yang and Bei Wei exchanged a glance and then bent down to put on their clothes.

A moment later, the two changed their clothes and came out of the room. Outside the door, Bei Jiajia was pacing anxiously.

"You're finally out! Hurry up, hurry up!"

Inside the corridor, guests kept hurriedly changing into heavy clothes, each with an excited smile, rushing outside, eager to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis.

A moment later, in the plaza in front of the hotel.

A group of people stood together, undeterred by the freezing weather and the fact that water would freeze instantly, all looking up at the beautiful scene, afraid of missing a single second.

At this moment, the night sky is ablaze with the interplay of three colors of aurora, blooming across the horizon.

Many people at the scene held their breath, raising their phones to take pictures of the sky in front of them, their excitement barely concealed.

"It's so beautiful, the trip was definitely worth it," Bei Jiajia exclaimed, looking up at the scenery.

Zhang Yang smiled and casually raised his phone to take a picture, then posted it on his WeChat Moments.

Bei Wei is one too.

The moment the post was published on WeChat Moments, it received a flood of likes.

Zhang Yang took a moment to look at the likes and then at the comments.

A photo of the aurora borealis in the early hours of New Year's Eve—its meaning is self-evident.

The comments section is currently filled with sour remarks.

[He made up an excuse about having something to do, oh, so he was out with someone to see the Northern Lights... I want to see them too...]

[Okay, I knew you had someone else by your side. It's just a pity I wasn't the one to spend New Year's Eve with you. I hope there will be a chance next year...]

He put down his phone and laughed it off.

Just now, a pleasant system notification sounded in my mind.

Bite!

The Aurora Night mission is complete.

The host has made the correct choice and has received the reward: Landmark Zero-Yuan Purchase Permission (limited to purchases under 6 billion).

"What a night of harvest!" Zhang Yang looked up at the dazzling aurora before him, took a deep breath, and his heart was completely immersed in some indescribable beauty.

The first day of the new year.

Good fortune followed one after another, and great gifts were presented to me. This trip to Mohe was truly worthwhile, and I gained a lot.

Although he was still in Mohe at the moment, his heart had already flown back to Magic City, to the landmark building he was about to own.

But no rush, not at all.

He glanced at Bevy, who was looking up at the night sky, her eyes reflecting the dazzling aurora Bei Wei, and smiled gently.

Since you've come all this way, it's not too late to enjoy the experience before heading back.

This aurora display lasted for almost an hour, providing a spectacular sight for everyone.

Each photo is destined to go viral on social media, making them the most dazzling star in their circle and the envy of everyone.

Even after the aurora borealis had faded, many people were still discussing it with lingering enthusiasm on the way back.

"Brother-in-law, this trip to Mohe was really worth it," Bei Jiajia exclaimed. "Actually, there's something I didn't dare to say before, but now I can finally say it."

"What?" Zhang Yang glanced at her.

"Actually... it's just..." Bei Jiajia stammered, "I originally thought that the idea of seeing the aurora borealis in Mohe was pure nonsense, right? Besides, there's nothing here."

"And now?" Zhang Yang really felt that Bei Jiajia was itching for a fight.

"Now I realize how shallow I was, and how wise you are, brother-in-law," Bei Jiajia quickly said, trying to flatter me. "If it weren't for you two being willing to take me, how would I have had the chance to see such beautiful aurora borealis and receive so many likes?"

She then showed off her WeChat Moments, which was currently flooded with likes.

"You're smart to know what's good for you." Bei Wei rolled her eyes at Bei Jiajia upon hearing this.

"Sister..." Bei Jiajia seized the opportunity to come up and hug Bei Wei's arm, starting to act cute.

It's already 1 a. m., I should be asleep by now.

However, considering that the sun doesn't rise until nine o'clock in the morning in Mohe, and that everyone has just celebrated the New Year, it would be a lie to say that they weren't excited.

I doubt many of those couples who came to celebrate the New Year in pairs will be able to sleep.

Zhang Yang was no exception.

Back in their room, the two embraced, seemingly determined to spend their time together until dawn.

After an unknown amount of time, Bei Wei finally fell into a deep sleep, the blanket barely covering her fair shoulders.

Zhang Yang glanced at the time before going to bed; hmm, 3 a. m.

The sky outside was still as black as ink.

He pulled the sweet little girl into his arms, holding her warm body, feeling a deep sense of contentment, and then fell into a deep sleep.

··

I slept until after eight o'clock the next morning.

Zhang Yang opened his eyes and looked at the still dark sky outside, feeling a sense of wonder.

I usually sleep until the sun is high in the sky, but I never expected that in Mohe, it would still be dark.

Bei Wei was still fast asleep beside him.

I went to bed at 3 a. m. last night, and I've only slept for a total of five hours so far. For a girl, that's far from enough sleep.

However, for Zhang Yang, with his current level of cultivation, he could easily fall into a deep sleep with his eyes closed.

A full five hours of deep sleep, no less.

He is now full of energy and vitality, his whole body brimming with vigor.

"Oh, right."

As if he had thought of something, Zhang Yang immediately immersed himself in the system.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rewards he had received from last night's events, which were now safely in his system inventory.

Because of a reward worth a full six billion!

It feels like a dream.

Fortunately, it's not all a dream. He just needs to go back and use it to have a new landmark of his own.

He gently tucked the blanket around Bei Wei beside him, then got out of bed to wash up before going outside.

At the start of the new year, the temperature in Mohe has become increasingly cold. Even during the day, the temperature often drops to tens of degrees below zero.

Because it was just getting light, the corridor was quiet and there were hardly any people in sight.

Only in the hotel lobby can you see some staff members who have already started working.

At the main gate, Su Zongping appeared to be giving a speech.

"Brother Zhang?"

In the distance, Su Zongping's eyes lit up, and he dropped what he was doing and jogged over.

"Brother Zhang, you're up so early? How did you sleep last night?"

"You slept pretty well," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "By the way, you go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around by myself."

"No rush, no rush, I'll keep you company," Su Zongping kept saying. "Do you want breakfast now? I'll have someone prepare it for you?"

"You're too kind. I'll just have some buffet breakfast later." Zhang Yang waved his hand and walked out of the hotel first.
