From Wage Slave to Tycoon

Chapter 139: Chapter 113: The System’s Great Change

"Waiting is the hardest part!"

Su Chen stared at the time on his phone, an expression of utter despair on his face as he lay sprawled on his bed.

It was already 11:50 PM. There were still about twenty minutes until the system upgrade was complete, making each minute feel like a year to Su Chen.

Time ticked by, second by second, and Su Chen was about to fall asleep from the wait.

"DING! System upgrade complete. Please explore the relevant functions on your own, Host!"

Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Su Chen’s drowsiness instantly vanished and he shot bolt upright in bed.

"System!"

Su Chen saw a flash, and the familiar azure-blue panel appeared before him. Only this time, it had undergone a massive change!

[Advanced God of Wealth System] (Current version is the final version)

[Host: Su Chen]

[God of Wealth Blind Box Shop: Refreshes one Blind Box Gift Pack at 12:00 AM on the 1st of every month. Purchase price is random. The gift pack’s contents are uncertain and depend entirely on the Host’s luck!]

[Inventory: Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack, various stock share agreements, etc.!]

[Advanced God of Wealth: I’ve Got Nothing But Money! (Monthly spending limit of one billion, automatically resets at 12:00 AM on the 1st of every month)]

[The system’s accumulated cash reward for this month, fifty-seven or fifty-eight million, will be automatically deposited tomorrow!]

Su Chen was a little dumbfounded as he looked at the radically changed system. He had originally thought that after the upgrade, his monthly system income would be at least a billion or more, but now it was capped at a maximum of one billion.

On top of that, there was the Blind Box Shop, which required him to spend his own money. But the most crucial part was that the contents were uncertain and depended entirely on his own luck!

Based on Su Chen’s years of experience with Tencent’s gacha games, he knew he was one of those unlucky players who only ever got the guaranteed pity pulls and nothing more.

’With a face that’s only a tiny bit more handsome than the average Joe, I doubt I’ll get anything good!’

After a brief complaint, Su Chen turned his attention to the gift pack the system had given him after the upgrade.

"System, open the Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack!"

[The Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack has been opened. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: IPS Security Company, world-class hacking skills, and 10nm-3nm chip technology!]

Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Su Chen’s grin stretched nearly from ear to ear.

"Hahahahaha!" Su Chen put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

"DING! Does the Host wish to claim the rewards?" The system’s notification cut off Su Chen’s laughter.

"Claim them! Only a fool wouldn’t!" The words had barely left Su Chen’s mouth when he thought of something and quickly said, "System, don’t claim them yet—"

Before he could finish, a massive flood of memories surged into his mind. Su Chen’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto the bed. Right before passing out, he cursed the system in his heart.

’System, you son of a bitch! You don’t play by the rules! This is a sneak attack...’

Fortunately, Su Chen’s room had underfloor heating and central heating; otherwise, lying on the bed like that, he would have frozen to death!

"Steward Jiang, why isn’t Sir up yet? According to his usual routine, he’s up by nine at the latest. But it’s almost eleven, and he’s still not out of bed!"

At this, Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Did something happen to the boss?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hui’s brow instantly furrowed. He looked at Chen Fei with a cold gaze and said, "I know you’re concerned about Sir, but I don’t want to hear those words come out of your mouth again!"

Even though Chen Fei had seen his fair share of intense situations, he was still startled by Jiang Hui’s glare!

"Steward Jiang, I..." Chen Fei was just about to explain that he was worried something had happened to Su Chen, but Jiang Hui cut him off with a raised hand.

"Worry muddles the mind. You don’t need to explain; I know what you want to say." Jiang Hui was silent for a moment before saying, "Come upstairs with me and we’ll see if Sir is up!"

After saying this, Jiang Hui got up and headed toward the pavilion in the backyard, with Chen Fei hurrying to follow.

When they reached the second floor of the pavilion, Jiang Hui also grew nervous. Having been with Su Chen for so long, he knew that Su Chen was a very self-disciplined person who rarely slept in. Even if he didn’t feel like getting up, he would at least eat breakfast before going back to lie down.

The same thoughts Chen Fei had just voiced had also crossed his mind.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Jiang Hui knocked lightly on the door a few times, waiting for a reply from inside.

After waiting for about ten seconds with no response from Su Chen, Jiang Hui raised his hand and knocked again, this time noticeably louder than before.

Another ten seconds or so passed. Jiang Hui glanced back at Chen Fei, a hint of unease in both their eyes.

In an instant, they both decided to open the door and go in.

Su Chen’s bedroom door wasn’t locked from the inside. Jiang Hui pushed the door open and immediately saw Su Chen lying quietly on the bed, the blanket pinned tightly underneath him.

The sight gave both of them a huge shock. Jiang Hui and Chen Fei quickly rushed over.

"Sir! Sir, wake up!" Jiang Hui called out twice. When Su Chen didn’t respond, he even reached out to check the carotid artery on his neck...

Chen Fei, standing to the side, was also getting anxious. "How is he?"

Jiang Hui was also baffled. He could clearly feel a strong pulse from the carotid artery, but he just couldn’t wake Su Chen up.

"He has a pulse, but why won’t he wake up?!" Jiang Hui quickly made a decision. "Chen Fei, carry Sir. We’re going to the hospital!"

Chen Fei didn’t waste a second. He immediately moved to pick Su Chen up in his arms.

Just then, Su Chen, having just finished absorbing the hacking skills in his mind, slowly opened his eyes...

When he saw that he was in Chen Fei’s arms, he was completely stunned. "What the hell are you two doing? Where are you trying to carry me off to?"
