"Thank you, big brother!"

Ye Chen had arrived full of anticipation, and though his heart felt somewhat bitter, he still thanked Su Yuntao politely.

"Haha, no need to be so polite. It's what I should do."

Afterward, Su Yuntao registered Ye Chen's martial soul and Innate Soul Power, then issued him a Martial Soul Certificate.

Still somewhat unwilling to accept it, Ye Chen took his Martial Soul Certificate and turned to leave Spirit Hall.

As Su Yuntao watched Ye Chen's receding figure, he thought to himself, I hope that my future child with Si Si will be this polite too.

As for Si Si not accepting his pursuit yet? That did not matter! In Su Yuntao's eyes, within the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall, he was Si Si's best possible partner!

Su Yuntao: Who else could it be but me?!

"Ah~, Innate Soul Power of level 3... Am I really that lousy?"

After leaving the Martial Soul Branch Hall, Ye Chen muttered to himself as he headed home.

Ye Chen was simply being greedy. After all, many people on the continent could not awaken Innate Soul Power at all, and even among those who could, most did not reach level 3.

To be honest, if a child from an ordinary family in Notting City awakened level 3 Innate Soul Power, it would be enough reason to host a banquet and celebrate with a feast.

Ideals were plump, but reality was skinny. Just as Ye Chen was planning all sorts of things for his future, an unexpected change occurred.

"Ding~, binding Tycoon System: 1%... 50%..."

"???"

Ye Chen froze for a moment, thinking he had misheard. But when he saw a progress bar appear in his vision, he finally confirmed that his cheat had arrived.

"Wait, the Tycoon System?!"

At that moment, Ye Chen felt like crying.

Judging by the name, this Tycoon System was probably meant to hand out money, right? In his previous life, it would have surely let him reach the pinnacle of life—but he was on the Douluo Continent now!

Could money buy powerful talent? Could money buy a powerful martial soul? Could money make him a Titled Douluo, or even a Deity?

Though that was what Ye Chen thought, having a cheat was still better than having none. With enough money, he could at least speed up his cultivation. At the very least, he would not have to run around worrying about living expenses.

However, there was one thing that worried Ye Chen: the money handed out by this Tycoon System would not be RMB, would it?

No one on the Douluo Continent would recognize RMB. It was no different from waste paper—too stiff even for wiping one's ass.

I hope this cheat son of mine won't screw over his dad this badly!

Ye Chen thought to himself.

"Ding~, Tycoon System binding complete."

"Attribute Panel and System Shop unlocked. PS: The host may open or close them with a mental command."

"The host's level is Soul Scholar. Soul Gold Coins +1, Gold Soul Coins +1, Gold Soul Coins +1..."

"Attribute Panel? System Shop? Gold Soul Coins?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up. Fortunately, this cheat son of his was paying tribute in Gold Soul Coins, the universal currency of the Douluo Continent, rather than that damned RMB.

Of course. It was a cheat, after all—how could it make such a huge blunder?

Without rushing to open the Attribute Panel or System Shop, Ye Chen began counting the Gold Soul Coins his cheat son was offering him.

Since he had no timer, Ye Chen could only estimate roughly. He found that the frequency of each Gold Soul Coin +1 was about once per second.

There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute... Doesn't that mean this cheat son gives me, his dad, over thirty-one million Gold Soul Coins every year?

Since he was not very good at math, Ye Chen calculated in his head for a long while before finally arriving at the answer.

Was he about to get rich?

And his "son" had said that he was currently a Soul Scholar, so each time he gained one Gold Soul Coin. If his soul power level increased, would he not gain even more? Truly worthy of being called the Tycoon System!

With his "son's" tribute, Ye Chen would surely be able to bury Ning Fengzhi, that great tycoon, beneath Gold Soul Coins in the future, right?

Fortunately, the Gold Soul Coin +1 notifications made no sound. They merely appeared as text in the lower-right corner of his vision, and could even be turned off. Otherwise, Ye Chen would have experienced the "troubles of the rich."

Open Attribute Panel.

Immediately, a golden screen appeared before Ye Chen.

Attribute Panel Host: Ye Chen Soul Power: Level 3 Martial Soul: Bamboo Staff Soul Rings: None

"..."

Looking at his bare-bones Attribute Panel, Ye Chen could hardly bear to look at it and immediately closed it.

At that moment, Ye Chen was on his way home. There were still pedestrians passing by, but none of them seemed to notice anything unusual about him.

This put Ye Chen at ease. No one else would be able to discover his cheat of a son.

Ye Chen had high expectations for the remaining System Shop, but he decided to go home first.

If the System Shop had good stuff, he would definitely be jumping for joy; if it did not, he would still be jumping in frustration. Ye Chen did not want people on the street staring at him like he was some kind of freak, so he planned to go home, shut the door, and investigate it properly.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Ye Chen hurried home.

Upon returning home, Ye Chen immediately shut the door tight, went back to his room, and silently commanded the system to open the System Shop.

System Shop.

In an instant, a golden light screen appeared in Ye Chen's field of vision once more.

What is with this "son" of mine? Why is everything gold? Doesn't it look tacky? Still, I like it!

Before long, Ye Chen discovered that the System Shop truly had quite a few good items.
