September 30th, Friday …
Settlement was about to begin. Pei Qian felt a little tired and anxious.
After a week of spending, especially by continuously opening branches and investing in Otto Technologies, Pei Qian finally managed to reduce the System Funds to 8.74 million yuan. That was already a miracle.
The starting amount of the System Funds for this cycle was 20 million yuan. However, he was not sure how much he would lose so far.
That was because he had to add in the value of various fixed assets.
The value of the fixed assets in the System was not updated in real time. It would only be refreshed once when the fixed assets were purchased and then at settlement.
However, Pei Qian roughly estimated that it should not be a big problem.
Until now, apart from the villa at Ming Yun Villas, Pei Qian still had four buildings. The value of the last update was 8.61 million, 32 million, 20 million, and 8.1 million x 2.
Pei Qian did some calculations. The total value of the fixed assets was 76.81 million yuan. In other words, it would be converted to 7.68 million yuan in the System Funds.
If everything went well, he should be able to convert (874 + 768-2000) x 0.1 = 360,000 yuan in this cycle.
What's more, there was a special mission. Even if he could not deduct all of it, he just had to deduct a small amount to make this cycle worthwhile.
The System screen automatically appeared in front of Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was stunned. Three question marks floated above his head.
？？？
What the hell?
He had estimated the value of the fixed assets to be 76 million yuan. How did it become 96 million yuan?
Pei Qian quickly looked at the details of the fixed assets and found that these buildings had increased by different degrees!
The two buildings in Binhu District had increased from 8 million yuan to 12 million yuan. The building in Dawn of Prosperous City that he lived in had increased from 32 million yuan to more than 39 million yuan. Even the residential-commercial buildings in Ming Yun Villas and Shundong Gardens had increased.
Adding everything together, it inexplicably increased by nearly 20 million yuan. The direct result was that the original estimated loss of 3.58 million yuan was now only 1.63 million yuan!
In other words, his Personal Wealth that could be converted had shrunk by 195,000.
Pei Qian slapped his forehead, his face pale.
Shit!
There was a big problem with this calculation!
The prices of the villas in Ming Yun Villas had skyrocketed because the nameless restaurant had become more popular. That was why the surrounding property prices had risen.
There was no need to mention the other buildings. On one hand, it was because of the reputation of the Sloth Apartments. On the other hand, it was because of the renovation.
Pei Qian had bought the three apartments in Dawn of Prosperous City and Binhu District at a low price, especially Binhu District. No one had lived in it for years, and it had been in disrepair for a long time. Each apartment had only been sold for five hundred thousand yuan.
But now, the two buildings in the Binhu District had been renovated by a designer. The living environment had taken a huge leap forward, so the price had naturally risen. It had returned to the normal price level and even exceeded it by a large margin!
At first, Pei Qian thought that even if there was a deviation in his estimation, it would not be too big. However, from the looks of it, he was completely wrong.
Close to two hundred thousand yuan of Personal Wealth had disappeared. Pei Qian nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was worse than being stabbed in the back ten thousand times!
Pei Qian did not have much time to grieve because the screen was still scrolling in his field of vision.
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he beamed with joy.
Was perfect enough?
At first, Pei Qian did not have any special expectations for the completion level of this mission. He thought that it would be good if he could reduce it by two or three million yuan. He did not expect to reach the highest limit!
As for why he could achieve a 'perfect' evaluation, Pei Qian mainly considered the following factors:
The successful spending of 1.6 million yuan in tuition fees meant that the System recognized He An and Qiu Hong's true standards.
He An and Qiu Hong basically did not hold anything back during the lecture. They took out all of their treasured knowledge and gave a lecture.
Pei Qian's understanding of games, especially his own games, had improved to a whole new level. He had a comprehensive understanding of basic game design concepts, the development process of domestically-produced games, and other knowledge.
In other words, Pei Qian relied on guessing when he made games previously and did not understand anything at all. Now, Pei Qian still relied on guessing when he made games, but he understood a lot.
The System judged the learning effect based on Pei Qian's knowledge before and after learning.
Pei Qian was equivalent to a primary school student who answered a college paper by guessing. Now, Pei Qian's knowledge was equivalent to that of a middle school student. Although he still answered the college paper by guessing, he had improved in the System's recognition.
He could only say that life was full of surprises.
Pei Qian did not hesitate to choose to reduce the System Funds. The reason why he worked hard to incur losses in this cycle was for the reward of this Special Mission!
If the 12.8 million yuan was added to the System Funds, it would only be an additional ten thousand yuan of income. It was insignificant. However, if he reduced the System Funds, it would be very worth it!
At that point, Pei Qian patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
The ups and downs of life were really exciting!
He could only get 160,000 yuan at first, but it became 1.14 million after this Special Mission.
In the previous cycle, Pei Qian had more than nine hundred thousand yuan in his Personal Wealth. Normally, he did not spend much. However, it was impossible for him not to spend a single cent. That was because if he wanted to take advantage of the System, he would have to link these expenses to his work. He would also have to seek reimbursement from the company's finance department. That was quite troublesome. He would have to pay for things within a few hundred yuan.
On top of that, Ruan's income from the skins fluctuated between forty to fifty thousand yuan every month. There was not much increase for the time being.
There was no other way. Pei Qian had been cheated by his own pricing strategy for GOG.
Since Ruan was a creative idea, gamers could buy new skins at a discount when they were released. The original price would be restored later, but fewer people would buy them.
What's more, GOG's current focus was on overseas markets. Hurricane Comics Company was still releasing a bunch of new heroes. Every hero needed a skin, and the Development Team could not possibly focus on Ruan alone.
Thus, Pei Qian had only earned slightly more than a hundred thousand yuan from the skins over the past three months. It was not as exciting as he had imagined.
However, Pei Qian was content. Why would he want a bicycle? This was already quite a lot.
He would redeem the mysterious reward first.
After the Wealth Conversion System 2.0 was updated, there would be a permanent welfare in every cycle. That was, a mysterious reward could be obtained after converting more than two hundred thousand yuan in wealth.
There were all kinds of mysterious rewards. For example, the mysterious reward from the previous cycle was a special mission for the current cycle.
This time, the mysterious reward was a welfare upgrade. If you convert more than eight hundred thousand yuan in wealth, you would be able to redeem the mysterious reward with a 'significant impact'. Since you had already converted more than eight hundred thousand yuan in wealth this cycle, you could redeem it immediately.
Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.
No matryoshka dolls!
However, being able to redeem the same reward twice was still something to be happy about.
Pei Qian felt that this was mainly due to his unwavering determination to incur losses this cycle. Converting more than eight hundred thousand yuan meant that he had to earn eight hundred million yuan. That was much more difficult than incurring losses.
He clicked to redeem it again.
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment. He went back to read the original description.
Then, a bunch of question marks floated over his head.
？？？？
Are you kidding me?
When Pei Qian saw the 'mysterious reward with a significant impact' previously, he subconsciously thought that this reward would be better than the original mysterious reward. Otherwise, why would it be called 'significant impact'?
Now, he realized that the 'significant impact' did not necessarily mean that it would affect him. What's more, it might not be a good one!
Take this reward for example. A random technological breakthrough?
What if this technological breakthrough happened to be related to the project that he was working on?
What the f * ck …
Pei Qian, who had been in a good mood just now, felt gloomy once again.
Indeed, the System had persisted in deceiving him for a hundred years without wavering.
After experiencing the ups and downs previously, Pei Qian's mood was already very calm.
The next cycle would end on January 31st. There were only four months left. It was a short cycle without any special missions.
It looked like there was no hope, but Pei Qian was full of motivation.
The System Funds for the next cycle had increased by another ten million yuan. That meant that he could continue to buy fixed assets. In addition, he had Teacher He's help in Tengda Games …
He would set a small goal first. He would try to lose twenty million yuan!
