Ding! Your 100,000-Yuan Prize Has Been Deposited

"Miss, just scan this code," the breakfast shop owner said, handing Chi Qing her buns and pointing to the QR code at the front of the table.

"Oh, okay." Taking the buns, Chi Qing pulled her phone out of her pocket and hurried to pay the owner.

As the breakfast shop's payment notification announced, "Alipay has received seven yuan," Chi Qing also received a text from her mobile banking service notifying her of her account balance.

She glanced at it casually, then froze in shock: Your purchase was 7 yuan. Account balance: 100,098.6 yuan???

She clearly remembered having only about 100 yuan left after paying her mortgage and credit card bill. Where the hell had that extra 100,000 come from?!

Someone must have transferred it to the wrong account.

Chi Qing's first reaction was to wonder whether she should call the police.

Otherwise, would she get arrested? At that thought, Chi Qing's heart rate instantly shot up, and even her breathing grew heavy.

Ding! Your first deposit has arrived, fated one. Lottery System successfully bound.

A voice suddenly rang out in Chi Qing's mind.

Bewildered, she looked around. Everyone around her was a passerby hurrying along, and no one was speaking to her.

Only the breakfast shop owner gave her a curious look when she saw her standing motionless after paying.

I must be in shock, Chi Qing thought.

Something's wrong with my brain. Yes, it must be because of that breakup a little while ago. This is all a hallucination.

With that thought, Chi Qing hesitated, then continued toward the office with her buns in hand.

Fated one, you have successfully bound the Lottery System and may receive lottery winnings. The starting amount is 100,000 yuan, automatically transferred to your account for you to spend as you please.

She had only taken a few steps when another voice rang out in Chi Qing's mind.

This time, because Chi Qing had been somewhat prepared, she heard it especially clearly.

Chi Qing stopped. This time, she was certain she really had heard it.

It was a strange way of hearing something. It was not a voice speaking in the real world, yet there was definitely a voice in her mind.

She hesitated, then walked to a secluded corner by the road.

She tried asking in her mind, Can I really spend it? What happens when I spend it all?

You may receive the next sum only on the day after you finish spending the previous sum.

In principle, the next sum will be double the previous one. However, the system will score how you spend the money and increase or decrease the amount by a certain percentage accordingly.

Hearing the reply in her mind, Chi Qing was swept up in wild joy...

Chi Qing had no idea how she made it to the office.

In short, she had drifted along in a daze. Once she sat down at her desk, Chi Qing took out a notebook and began calculating:

The first sum was 100,000, the second 200,000, then 400,000, 800,000, 1.6 million... 51.2 million... 209.7152 billion???

The more Chi Qing calculated, the more dumbfounded she became.

Her initial happiness, delight, and surprise turned into shock and disbelief.

Especially when she saw the 209.7152 billion for the twenty-second payout, she truly did not dare keep calculating.

Suddenly, a question occurred to Chi Qing.

System, system, come in, come in. Chi Qing calling System, Chi Qing calling System, Chi Qing called silently, with a distinct sense of Potato, Potato, this is Sweet Potato calling Potato.

Whether the system was also displeased with her bizarre way of calling it or not, it took a while to reply, "Please speak, fated one."

"I wanted to ask, what happens if I can't finish spending the previous sum? Is there a time limit?" Chi Qing asked.

If you fail to finish spending the previous sum within 30 consecutive days, or disclose the system's existence to a third party, you will be deemed to have voluntarily relinquished the system. Previous sums will not be reclaimed.

Hearing that, Chi Qing thought, Good grief, thank goodness I asked.

This system's playing dirty. It wouldn't have told me if I hadn't asked. If I'd broken a rule, wouldn't it all have been over?!

But the time limit is actually thirty days? Pfft, we're talking about spending money here! Would I let today's money live to see tomorrow's sun?

Uh... you really shouldn't say that too soon...
