Touched a Bank Card, Gained Ten Trillion

Magic City-Yida Shopping Mall.

Lu Yuan listened to his girlfriend Wang Yan's complaints, feeling immense pressure.

"Lu Yuan! A woman has to take care of herself. A set of skincare products has to cost at least ten thousand a month, right? When we get married, I'll need the three gold pieces, and we'll have to prepare for a new baby. Once the baby's born, they'll have to go to the best kindergarten and schools. Then there's the mortgage. What doesn't cost money?"

"With that little salary of yours, you can't support a family at all. Let's not waste any more time. We're breaking up."

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly. "Didn't we agree back then that as long as I was motivated, you'd be willing to strive alongside me?"

Wang Yuan sneered. "How old was I back then? With my looks and figure now, what kind of successful man couldn't I have? Why should I endure hardship with a poor boy like you?"

"Only a good-for-nothing man would make his girlfriend strive alongside him."

In a city like Magic City, Lu Yuan's monthly salary of fifty thousand as a top salesperson was already quite good. His girlfriend Wang Yuan only made twenty or thirty thousand a month herself, but she was always dreaming of a refined lifestyle, and their combined income wasn't enough for her to squander.

Lu Yuan had told her more than once to spend less and start preparing to buy a home, but whenever he brought it up, Wang Yan would have a huge fight with him.

Lu Yuan was tired of the relationship too. "Fine. I got tired of playing with you a long time ago. I don't want you anymore either. Let's break up. I'm dumping you!"

With that, Lu Yuan got on his electric bike and left the mall.

Wang Yan was beside herself with rage. "What do you mean, you got tired of playing with me? What do you mean, you don't want me anymore? What do you mean, you're dumping me?"

But Lu Yuan had long since ridden away. His parents lived far from his younger sister's school, so he had always been the one to attend her parent-teacher meetings.

[Ding! The host's lingering resentment has been detected. The Tycoon Critical Hit System is binding.]

[System description: Anything the host touches will be upgraded into a valuable item worth several times as much and awarded to the host.]

[The multiplier is entirely random, with a daily limit of three uses. Tycoon Critical Hit can only take effect once on each item.]

[The system will not use up the host's chances on its own. To use Tycoon Critical Hit on something, the host only needs to say so silently. If the host does not, nothing he touches will be affected.]

What? Things I touch will be upgraded into valuables worth several times as much and turned into cash for me?

No way, right?

To verify whether the system was real, Lu Yuan took a bank card out of his wallet.

"Use Tycoon Critical Hit on the bank card."

[You touched your bank card, triggering a hundred-thousandfold Tycoon Critical Hit reward.]

[The ten thousand in your account has been upgraded to a deposit of ten trillion for the host.]

Soon, Lu Yuan received a text message. The zeros in the displayed balance really did add up to exactly ten trillion.

It was absurd, but Lu Yuan still wasn't entirely reassured. Afraid the text was a scam, he went to the bank himself and handed the card to a teller. "Please check my balance."

The teller asked Lu Yuan to enter his password. After he did, the teller could no longer remain calm. Only after checking twice to make sure he hadn't seen wrong did he say to Lu Yuan, "Sir, your card has... has ten trillion in it!"

Holy shit! The system is real?

He really was worth ten trillion now. Lu Yuan was overjoyed. Ten trillion! Other people might not earn that much in several lifetimes!

Lu Yuan was in a great mood. It was only money, wasn't it?

With ten trillion in assets, what kind of woman couldn't he find? Wang Yan, oh Wang Yan, did she know she had lost the whole world?

Lu Yuan had finally figured out how the system worked. Whatever he touched, he could obtain, and what he obtained would be better than what he had touched.

For example, if he touched a bicycle, the system might upgrade it into a motorcycle and award it to him. If he touched an ordinary car, he might get an expensive supercar.

Wasn't this system insanely awesome?

But Lu Yuan had one concern. "System! So much money suddenly appeared in my bank account. Will I get arrested because the money's origins are unclear?"

[No. The system will arrange a reasonable explanation for every reward given to the host.]

Only after hearing the system's answer did Lu Yuan's worries disappear completely.

A little over twenty minutes later, Lu Yuan arrived at his younger sister's high school.

All the way there, Lu Yuan had been thinking about what to touch with his two remaining chances. What he seemed to need most urgently was an asset, something that could generate a steady income for him.

If I touch the school, will I be awarded a private school?

With that thought, Lu Yuan decisively pressed his hand against a school building. Use Tycoon Critical Hit.

[Ding! You touched a school building, triggering a Tycoon Critical Hit reward: five hundred school-district properties across the country. You have become the chairman of five hundred school-district properties across the country!]

[The ownership certificates for the five hundred school-district properties, for those in other cities, will be couriered to your home...]

[School-district property information: Tomson Riviera, Haiyi Villas, Pearl River Imperial View, Shengyu Shijia, Yingting Villas...]

They were actually school-district properties!!!

A single school-district property had dozens of buildings. Five hundred... how many buildings would that be...?

Now that he owned school-district properties, he could collect rent and spend the ten trillion in his account however he pleased. Even if he spent it all, he would still have the cash flow from the enormous rent on five hundred school-district properties.

And this was only one school-district property. If he touched some other assets into existence later... wouldn't he be an outright winner in life?

Ding! Just then, Lu Yuan's phone rang in his pocket. It was the One Loving Family group chat.

Youngest Aunt: My eldest daughter got into a key high school! We're holding an admission banquet at the Shangri-La Hotel tomorrow. If you're free, come over for a meal!

Just then, a member with a black BMW profile picture also sent a message: My younger cousin got into high school? That's a big deal! I happen to be able to drive back for her admission banquet tomorrow.

Younger cousin: Thanks, Cousin! Is the BMW in your profile picture your new car?

Ding!

A selfie appeared in the group. It was a handsome selfie of his older cousin Li Xianhe sitting in the driver's seat, holding a car key.

"Wow! Cousin, that car must have cost a lot, right?"

Li Xianhe: Ah, it wasn't expensive, just over four million. A top-of-the-line BMW 8 Series. Not expensive, hardly any money at all.

Younger cousin: Wow, more than four million isn't a lot? To me, that's already an astronomical sum. Cousin, you're way too modest and low-key.

Eldest Aunt: Of all of us, my eldest son really is the successful one. He's even driving a BMW now.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt both chimed in: Xianhe sells apartments over in the Imperial Capital. He's really made a name for himself. Don't forget your second and third aunts in the future!

Lu Yuan chuckled when he saw the messages. Knowing Li Xianhe, he had loved showing off since he was a child. He was probably coming back for their younger cousin's admission banquet this time just to show off and act impressive.

"Enough about me. Where's my younger cousin Lu Yuan, Sixth Aunt's son? What's he doing these days?"

At the mention of Lu Yuan, the group came alive again.

His younger cousin sent a snide message: What can he do with his education? He's a salesperson at Yida Shopping Mall. He only makes forty or fifty thousand a month, and after what he and his girlfriend spend, he only has two thousand left each month. He's just a loser with no education!

Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt sent messages one after another: Lu Yuan is the least promising of the bunch. That boy was completely finished the day he failed to get in. How could he compare to you, Xianhe?

Li Xianhe: Cousin, I told you back then I'd take you to the Imperial Capital to work, and I said you weren't cut out for studying. You're not doing as well as me now, are you? Hahaha!

Lu Yuan was unmoved by Li Xianhe's words.

With ten trillion in savings and five hundred school-district properties across the country to his name, why should he care about a poor loser with a four-million-yuan junker showing off in front of him?

That was so low-class, wasn't it?

But his parents had often been unable to hold their heads high these past few years because of him. Thinking of that, Lu Yuan composed a message and sent it to the group:

"Cousin, beyond the heavens are more heavens, and beyond the greatest people are greater ones. Don't be so arrogant. Watch out, or I'll slap your face swollen tomorrow!"
