C1 Sign in System

"What? A classmate reunion tomorrow? Nah, I'm going to pass. Work's been crazy lately, I just can't make it..."

Chen Zhixuan sent his regrets via a voice message.

"You can't be serious! It's our first university classmate reunion since graduation. Everyone will be there, you've got to show up! Let's meet at the Tianhao Hotel tomorrow at five, no excuses!"

In these social arenas, individuals often find themselves entangled in a relentless race of exhibiting superiority, where family lineages, professional achievements, and automotive possessions become the battleground for self-worth validation.

Chen Zhixuan let out a wry laugh. Sure, they say it's about reconnecting with old classmates, but isn't it really just a bragging contest?

It's a playground for those who've made it big.

He knew this game all too well.

But Chen Zhixuan didn't feel like playing.

His reason was straightforward. Since university, he'd faced constant setbacks and never landed a decent job.

He'd only recently started at a small company, barely out of a tough internship period, earning less than four thousand a month. Going to this so-called reunion would be like asking for humiliation.

Classmate reunions were just a chance to flaunt wealth, careers, cars, and 'off-the-books' earnings.

What could Chen Zhixuan, still renting a modest place for 1,800 a month, possibly have to boast about? Showing up would only serve to highlight others' success. He might not even qualify as a backdrop to their achievements, more like the dirt beneath the greenery.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm better off skipping this pretentious classmate reunion. I'll just stay home and watch soap operas." Chen Zhixuan had given up on aspirations.

After all, being a homebody was the cheapest way to live.

"Oh, to be the powerful CEO from the dramas!" He watched the young, wealthy CEOs on screen and let his imagination wander.

"What in the world?"

A robotic voice suddenly intruded into his thoughts, startling Chen Zhixuan.

"Host, there's no need for alarm. I am the Strongest Sign-In System, at your service from this moment forward. Sign in daily and on time to receive a random reward! The possibilities are endless: gadgets, cash, skills... you name it!"

After a thorough explanation from the system, Chen Zhixuan gradually grasped the capabilities of the Strongest Sign-In System. Essentially, it was like a novel's protagonist stumbling upon a game-changing glitch—his life was on easy mode!

Having devoured countless novels featuring systems, he never imagined he'd actually receive such a powerful boost himself! Absolutely incredible!

"System, I'm ready to sign in!"

Eagerly rubbing his hands together, Chen Zhixuan was itching to sign in and discover the treasures that awaited.

[Ding! Host's sign-in process initiated!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful sign-in!]

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring 100 million dollars, now deposited into your personal bank account. Please verify the transaction!"

"No way! Seriously? A hundred million?!"

Chen Zhixuan was flabbergasted.

"Ding! Your account ending in 9775 has completed a transaction on June 26 at 09:04 PM, +100,000,000. New balance: +100,003,265."

Just then, his phone chimed with a new message.

Chen Zhixuan picked it up, his eyes widening. Holy smokes, could this really be happening?

To confirm it wasn't a fantasy, he quickly accessed his Venmo and transferred 10,000 from his bank account.

Sure enough, Venmo displayed the 10,000-transfer crystal clear!

"This is..."

The joy was overwhelming—and so sudden.

"System, my account just increased by 100 million. Won't the bank get suspicious?" The sudden leap to billionaire status had him on edge.

If the bank started snooping around, all the money in the world wouldn't matter.

The System reassured him, "Host, please be at ease. The system has altered the bank's protocols; no entity will be able to detect the change. You may use your funds freely and with confidence!"

"Phenomenal!"

With the system's assurance, he could comfortably embrace his new billionaire status.

Embracing his newfound wealth, Chen Zhixuan decided to first verify his windfall at the bank to see if the 100 million was truly there.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the neighborhood ATM and upon checking, was greeted by a dizzying array of zeros in his account.

"Now that I'm flush with cash, it's time to treat myself to a fine meal."

Chen Zhixuan left the complex, hailed a cab, and made his way to a high-end restaurant nearby.

Truth be told, the prices at this establishment were once far beyond the means of the old Chen Zhixuan—a grand per person! It was a place he, as a self-proclaimed loser, could never dream of affording.

But now, as a billionaire, what was a mere thousand?

There's a saying that money in your pocket gives you more confidence than others.

Once inside the restaurant, Chen Zhixuan chose a window seat and ordered the priciest item on the menu: the sirloin steak!

"Something's missing. Waiter, what's the price for your most expensive bottle of red wine?"

With the mindset of a nouveau riche and the system's daily sign-in bonus, who's to say he wouldn't hit another billion tomorrow? With money to burn, he was ready to splurge.

"Good evening, sir. Our most expensive red wine is a Bordeaux, with our top bottle priced at 80,000. Would you like to order it?"

The waitress attending to Chen Zhixuan was a young woman with an impressive figure.

Most patrons would order a glass of red wine, but not him—he went straight for the bottle, leaving the waitress momentarily taken aback.

Chen Zhixuan nodded and cheerfully confirmed, "Exactly, that one. I'll take the bottle!"

"Sir, are you sure you can finish an entire bottle?"

The waitress was visibly astonished.

"Don't worry about that. If I can't finish it, I'll just take it home. Now, let's swipe the card."

Chen Zhixuan didn't feel like explaining himself. Dressed simply as he was, he had ordered an 80,000 bottle of wine, and she was questioning his financial capacity. So, he casually handed over his card to settle the bill.

"Very well, sir! Just one moment, please!"

With a smile, the waitress sashayed to the front desk to process the payment.

As the card machine confirmed the successful transaction, her eyes nearly popped out of her head. When Chen Zhixuan had initially ordered the red wine, she had thought he was merely pulling her leg.

Honestly, Chen Zhixuan's attire and appearance are indicative of poverty.

Can you imagine someone like him splurging on an 80,000 bottle of red wine?

The moment the card reader confirmed a successful transaction, the waitress was beside herself with excitement, practically on the verge of tears. This sale alone meant she was raking in a commission of over a thousand!

"Sir, your card!"

Her graceful face lit up with an enchanting smile as she presented Chen Zhixuan's bank card with the utmost care, as if it were a treasured heirloom. She then proceeded to pour the pricey Bordeaux into his glass with a flourish.

And that wasn't all; the attentive waitress took it upon herself to decant the wine, staying by his side and offering expert advice on the finer points of wine tasting, leaving Chen Zhixuan feeling secretly thrilled.

Damn...

The lifestyle of the wealthy sure is something else!
