June 30th, settlement day.
Pei Qian took a sip of Coke. However, even Fat Otaku Coca-Cola could not bring him happiness.
Over the past three days, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store had become more popular than expected. Chen Lei's fans came from all over the country, ordering drinks and giving gifts.
Seeing that he had no hope of incurring losses, Pei Qian had no choice but to retreat to his rented apartment and isolate himself for two days.
For the past two days, Pei Qian had been thinking about a problem.
What exactly went wrong??
It seemed that every time, he would fail at the most crucial moment …
Ever since he had obtained this damned system, he had only successfully made a loss once, and it was only 20,000 yuan.
This amount of money could be recouped with just 2 million yuan.
This was completely different from the script that Pei Qian had imagined.
At first, Pei Qian had thought that with this system, he would be able to become the richest person in the world at any time. However, from the looks of it, the System Funds had been increasing non-stop while his Personal Wealth had remained stagnant. It had not even exceeded a hundred thousand yuan.
"This is really strange. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be this poor."
"But, why am I so poor …"
Pei Qian was starting to doubt his life.
The policy should be correct.
Before this cycle started, Pei Qian had never imagined that he would be able to earn so much money.
Whether it was Ocean Stronghold's popularity or Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's counterattack, everything was beyond Pei Qian's expectations.
If Pei Qian had known that he could not incur losses, he might have considered how to earn more. However, he could not predict the future!
What's more, to Pei Qian now, the difference between a hundred thousand and twenty thousand was not that big.
As long as Pei Qian's expenses were related to work, he could use the system to reimburse them. What he needed to spend money on were expenses that had nothing to do with work, enjoyment, and to support his family.
It would be faster to lose six to seven hundred thousand at a time than to earn one hundred thousand at a time.
The system's initial funds had already reached the level of five million, and it would rise again next time. With such a large base, it was reasonable to say that it would not be too difficult to lose six or seven hundred thousand.
However, he couldn't make a loss, so he was very angry!
"Do I really have to rely on this pitiful 1% of profit to make money? Isn't that a little too tragic? "
"I can't accept this!"
As Pei Qian struggled, the system screen automatically appeared.
Wealth Conversion System
[Profit Conversion Ratio 100: 1, Loss Conversion Ratio 1: 1]
[Calculation coming soon …]
[Personal Assets: 45256.4]
[Personal Wealth: 71299.78 (↑ 23675.8 × 110%)]
He had to say something.
After working hard for two months, he had converted more than 20,000 Gold Coins, and it was even worse than before …
Wealth.
Looking at his pitiful Personal Wealth, Pei Qian could not help but have another thought.
"Why don't we take a break and slack off for a while?"
"Right now, these few games are continuing to make money. Ocean Stronghold's monthly revenue alone has already exceeded ten million yuan. Coupled with the high commission that the official platform is giving me, I can earn seven to eight million yuan every month."
"Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store is making money now. Although the other branches are still incurring losses, they are much less than before."
"If that's the case, if I don't do anything or do some low-investment, low-return projects, even if I maintain my current expenses, it should be easy for me to save five or six million a month."
Pei Qian did not consider cutting down on his expenses.
Pei Qian would never do something like cutting off employee benefits to convert them into assets.
On one hand, he could not afford to do that. On the other hand, he was inefficient.
Cutting four hundred thousand from his employees and converting it into four thousand yuan. Was that something a human would do?
However, Pei Qian could still make money even if he maintained his expenses.
"Let's say the next settlement cycle is two months. If I save five million yuan every month, I could convert a hundred thousand yuan. Wouldn't that be better than spending money. Wouldn't it be better to convert twenty thousand yuan?"
Pei Qian suddenly felt that it was not a bad choice to be a salted fish.
As he was thinking, the words on the screen continued to scroll.
Pei Qian, who was still thinking about being a salted fish for a cycle, froze.
He read through this week's Special Task in detail and could not help but spit out.
"System, I'm crazy!"
What the f * ck was' the host seems to be too obsessed with temporary profits'?!
Am I obsessed with profits? I don't want to make profits. I've always wanted to incur losses. Can you blame me for not being able to incur losses?!
However, the system did not seem to think so.
Pei Qian had indeed earned twice in the last two settlements.
If he were to consider the results of all five settlements, it would be profit, profit, loss, profit.
If one did not look at the process and only looked at the results, one would indeed think that Pei Qian was a host that was obsessed with earning money.
Pei Qian's mind was filled with curses.
The key was the reward for completing this Special Task.
'A mysterious surprise within the system's rules'!
It did not explain what it was. However, just the description alone made one feel that it was extremely valuable and worth it …
Up till now, the system had only provided Pei Qian with funds and converted his Personal Wealth during settlement. That was all.
However, the 'mysterious surprise within the system's rules' was too easy for one to make the connection.
Perhaps it was some special tool?
Or perhaps it was a huge change in the Wealth conversion ratio!
Pei Qian knew very well that this could be a trap. However, he had to jump in!
Although there was a possibility that he would get a scammy 'surprise' after completing the task, what if he really got something useful?
There was no way Pei Qian would give up on this' mysterious surprise within the system 'just for a hundred thousand yuan. That would be too stupid.
Pei Qian finally calmed down after spitting out the fragrant words.
"Stupid system, I'll believe you this time on account of your honesty."
Since settlement was completed and the Special Task was completed, the unhappiness of the previous cycle should be over.
In order to complete the Special Task, Pei Qian had to compose himself before setting off again. He had to think of another way to incur losses.
However, the good news was that the cycle was longer this time. Previously, it was two months. This time, it was four months.
Four months was enough for Pei Qian to unleash his full potential and do some things that he could not do in the previous cycle.
