Chapter 185 - System, Your Mama So Fat! (1/2)

June 30th, day of settlement…

Pei Qian had a mouthful of Coca Cola. However, even the happy drink for fatties could not cheer him up.

On the third day, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s popularity exceeded his own imaginations. Chen Lei’s fans flew in from various parts of the country. They gave Chen Lei alcohol rewards as if they were insane.

Since his hopes of incurring losses were dashed, Pei Qian had no choice but to return to his own rented apartment. He kept to himself for two days.

In these two days, Pei Qian kept thinking about one question.

Where did he go wrong?

It felt like every time, at the crucial moment, all his work would go down the drain.

From the moment he obtained this cheating system, he had only managed to incur a loss once. What’s more, it was a mere loss of twenty thousand yuan. All he had to do was earn two million yuan to cover that loss. The plot was going in a completely opposite direction from what Pei Qian imagined.

At first, he thought that with the system, he would be able to incur losses and become a wealthy man. However, from the looks of the situation, the System Funds were only going to increase. His Personal Wealth was remaining the same. Until now, he had not made more than a hundred thousand yuan.

“This is so strange. Logically, I should not be this poor.”

“Yet, why am I this poor…?”

Pei Qian started to doubt his life. He must have been going in the right direction. Before the start of this week, Pei Qian would not have thought that he would be able to earn so much money.

Ocean Stronghold’s sudden popularity and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s unfortunate circumstances were all out of Pei Qian’s expectations.

If he knew that he would not be able to incur losses, he would have thought about how he could earn more money. Yet, he would not have been able to tell the future!

What’s more, to Pei Qian, there was not much of a difference between a hundred thousand yuan and twenty thousand yuan now.

Now, as long as Pei Qian was spending money on anything vaguely related to work, he could report the expenses to the System. However, what he really needed to spend money on had nothing to do with work. He just wanted to enjoy and improve his home.

Incurring a loss of six or seven hundred thousand yuan would be way faster than sticking to a plan and earning about a hundred thousand yuan each month.

Now, there was five million yuan in the System Funds’ starting sum. Next time, it might increase. Logically, with such a huge base to work with, it should not be difficult for Pei Qian to lose six or seven hundred thousand yuan.

Still, he could not incur that loss! He was furious!

“Must I really depend on my profits and work with a conversion ratio of 100:1? That’s pathetic, isn’t it? I’m not going to give up!”

Pei Qian struggled in his heart as the System’s screen lit up automatically.

<Wealth Conversion System>

<Owner: Pei Qian>

<Settlement starting…>

<System Funds: 7,360,000 (12,360,000)>

<Settlement in progress…>

<Conversion in progress…>

<System Funds: 7,360,000>

Pei Qian was speechless.

After working so hard for two months, he only managed to convert over twenty thousand yuan. That was worse than the last time.

Painful!

Seeing his pathetic Personal Wealth, Pei Qian could not help but develop another thought.

“Why not take a break? I should laze around for a week.

“The few games have been earning money during this period. Other things aside, Ocean Stronghold’s monthly gross alone is an eight-figure sum. Including the profits that the official games; platform gave us, we would earn about seven to eight million each month.

“Even Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s flagship store is making money now. Although the other branches are incurring losses, they are not incurring as much loss as they were before.
