Demon City was a city full of vitality and opportunity. High-rises stood in rows, traffic flowed endlessly, and people hurried about, busy pursuing their dreams and making a living.

Ye Feng was a senior at Demon City University and the campus heartthrob. Standing 185 centimeters tall, with broad shoulders, well-defined muscles, and a sunny, handsome face, he drew the eyes of the opposite sex.

Today was the third anniversary of Ye Feng and his girlfriend Meng Yue getting together. He had also received his first month's internship salary of 5,000 yuan in Huaxia Currency. He had asked his supervisor for two hours off in advance and carefully picked out a gift, planning to surprise Meng Yue.

Ye Feng rode his little electric scooter to the office building nearby where Meng Yue was interning and waited for her to get off work.

He watched the people coming out one after another, looking carefully for fear of missing her.

In the distance, a girl in a white T-shirt and a long black skirt that fell below her knees came into view, her smooth, long hair stirring in the breeze. As he watched Meng Yue looking around, all sorts of thoughts filled Ye Feng's mind.

Just as Ye Feng was about to go over, he saw a black Audi A6 pull up beside Meng Yue. A man in his thirties got out, and Meng Yue, her face full of shyness, threw herself at him and gave him a hug.

In an instant, Ye Feng froze on the spot.

Suppressing the urge to hit someone, he rushed over. He wanted to get to the bottom of this.

"Meng Yue, who is he?!"

Meng Yue, who was embracing the man, jumped in fright and hurriedly let go of him.

Seeing Ye Feng's bloodshot eyes, she fearfully clung to the man's arm again.

The man with the Audi also recovered his senses and patted Meng Yue on the back, signaling her not to worry.

"You're Yueyue's boyfriend, right? No, you should be her ex-boyfriend now. I'm her boyfriend now. Please don't harass my girlfriend anymore, or the consequences will be serious!" the man with the Audi said with a mocking smile.

"Yueyue, didn't we agree to work hard together and get married after graduation? Have you forgotten all the vows we made?"

"Ye Feng, now that you've caught us today, it's a good chance to make things clear. Let's break up. You can't give me the life I want. Love can't put food on the table, and love needs material things to sustain it. You're just a pauper. Please don't harass me anymore, or my boyfriend will get angry!"

"Kid, get lost. You're not good enough for Yueyue." With that, he gave Meng Yue's butt a hard pinch.

"Be good and wait for me in the car. I've booked a hotel. Tonight, I'll definitely make you beg for mercy."

Watching the two flirt right in front of him, Ye Feng's heart shattered into crumbs. Looking at the car as it drove away and the people pointing and gossiping, Ye Feng closed his eyes and let the tears flow.

He stood there for a long time, as if bidding farewell to his youth, and as if mourning his dead love.

Scenes of the two of them over the past few years flashed through his mind, some happy, some sad. Let it go. Maybe I never really knew her at all. Three years of love couldn't withstand the temptation of material things.

A sharp pain pierced his head.

[Congratulations, host. You have awakened the Hundredfold Spending Cashback System.] [The host can receive a hundredfold cashback on any amount spent. All cashback from the system is obtained through legitimate channels, so please use it without worry. There is no need to fear being dragged away and sliced up for research. To ensure the host's spending is not hindered by limits, the host has been specially rewarded with a Global Bank Supreme Black Card. All cashback will be deposited into the black card account. The card has now been placed in the host's backpack.]

Ye Feng was startled by the voice in his head. He immediately opened his backpack, and a card emitting a black glow lay quietly inside.

This was no hallucination. He really had been chosen by a system.

As a webnovel fan, Ye Feng was no stranger to systems. He had once fantasized about being struck by a system one day and reaching the pinnacle of life from then on. He never expected a system to actually come to him today, after his breakup.

Excited, Ye Feng picked up his little electric scooter from where it had fallen by the roadside and headed to a convenience store nearby.

"Boss, give me a bottle of mineral water."

After he scanned the code and paid, that pleasant voice sounded, just as expected.

[Congratulations, host. You spent 2 yuan. Your cashback of 200 has been deposited into your Supreme Black Card ending in 8888.]

"Boss, get me a pack of Huazi cigarettes too."

"Young man, couldn't you get everything and pay for it all at once? Making an old man like me run back and forth."

"Hehe, sir, I'll keep that in mind. Hehe."

[Congratulations, host. You spent 50 yuan. Your cashback of 5,000 yuan has been deposited into the black card ending in 8888.]

After leaving the convenience store, Ye Feng returned to his rented room. Looking at the cramped space, he silently resolved to work hard at farming cashback.

Ding, ding, ding. A ringtone interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Yang Dong, the eldest of his roommates at Demon City University. There were four of them in the dorm: eldest brother Yang Dong, second brother Cheng Wen, third brother Wang Chao, and youngest brother Ye Feng.

The four had shared a dorm since their freshman year and were very close.

"Eldest Brother, what's up?"

"Fourth Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, and I are at Old Sichuan Hot Pot by the school gate. Hurry over. You're the only one missing."

"Okay, Eldest Brother. I'll be there in a bit."

Old Sichuan Hot Pot was close to the school and offered good food at low prices, making it very popular with the students. It was often packed.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, Yang Dong was giving Cheng Wen and Wang Chao some instructions.

"When Fourth Brother gets here, nobody mention the breakup. Just let him drink and get it out of his system. Fourth Brother might usually seem carefree, but he actually gets too hung up on things."

"Okay, Eldest Brother. Honestly, what was Meng Yue thinking? Fourth Brother liked her so much, and today she actually posted a kissing photo on her Moments, with a budget hotel in the background. She's got no shame."

"Yeah. Fourth Brother was with him for so many years, and all they ever did was hold hands and hug. Who would've thought she'd go get a room with someone as soon as they broke up? What a bitch. Poor Fourth Brother."

By then, Ye Feng had taken a taxi to the entrance, and another batch of cashback had arrived. He walked into Old Sichuan Hot Pot, saw the four, including Yang Dong, sitting in a corner, and immediately went over.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, how come you all had time to get together today? How are your internships going? I got my internship pay today, so nobody fight me for it. I'm paying." With that, Ye Feng pulled out a stool and sat down. He deftly opened a bottle of beer and filled his glass.

The three looked at one another, feeling quite surprised. Could it be that Fourth Brother hasn't checked Moments? Does he still not know?

The four first drained a glass together, and eldest brother Yang Chen said, "Fourth Brother, we didn't order too many dishes. See what you want to eat, and we'll order more."

Ye Feng called over a server and added a serving of tripe, a serving of duck intestines, and two or three of lamb.

"We're not far from graduation now. What are your plans?" Ye Feng picked up his glass and drained another before speaking.

Yang Dong drained a glass with him and then said, "My family has arranged it for me. After graduation, I'll go straight to one of our family's companies to gain some experience."

Cheng Wen pushed up his glasses and said, "I'm planning to go back to my hometown and take the civil service exam. My parents are getting old, and I'm their only son, so I want to go home."
