Chapter 001: Charity Tycoon System
At dusk, in the park, Ye Xiu was jogging. The setting sun draped the earth in a golden cloak, making the scenery exceptionally beautiful. The young man ran beneath the sunset, appearing especially splendid. Ye Xiu wore headphones, listening to music as he continued his run.
"Ding, suitable host detected. Charity Tycoon System is binding... Binding successful."
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Ye Xiu visibly paused. He stopped in his tracks and tapped his headphones.
"Is my headset broken?"
Ye Xiu was somewhat puzzled but ignored it, preparing to continue his run.
Clang!
Suddenly, a sound came from beneath his feet. Ye Xiu lowered his head to see an empty soda can.
"Who's the uncivilized person littering?"
There were trash bins on both sides of the running track, yet this can was thrown on the ground beside the bin. Obviously, someone casually tossed it and didn't bother to pick it up. Was it so difficult to take a few steps to pick it up and throw it away? Truly lacking in manners!
Ye Xiu muttered to himself as he bent down, picked up the can, and threw it into the nearby trash bin with his left hand.
"Ding, you picked up a soda can and received a reward of one hundred thousand RMB."
Huh? Ye Xiu was startled. He tapped his headphones and muttered, "Looks like the headset is really broken. It's time to replace it."
But before he could finish, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Taking out his phone, Ye Xiu saw a text message. Opening it and scanning it briefly, Ye Xiu's figure shook.
"Your ICBC card number... has been credited with one hundred thousand RMB in full!"
Damn!?
Was this for real?
Did I awaken some kind of cheat code?
"System? Come out, let's have a chat."
Ye Xiu's eyes lit up as he called out in his mind.
"I'm here, host."
Sure enough, there was a response!
"Tell me, what's going on? What functions do you have?"
Ye Xiu asked.
"Host, this system is the Charity Tycoon System. As the name suggests, as long as the host continues to perform charitable deeds, you will receive rewards. The more you do, the more generous the rewards!"
Performing charitable deeds brings rewards?
Ye Xiu's eyes brightened.
Just now, he simply picked up a soda can and received a reward of one hundred thousand RMB. Does this mean that as long as he contributes to society, he will receive rewards?
Seemingly aware of Ye Xiu's thoughts, the system quickly responded, "That's right, any action, even just cleaning up trash or sweeping the streets, as long as it contributes to society, benefits others, it will be rewarded."
I see!
Ye Xiu contemplated and gradually resumed walking along the track.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a cry came from beside him, and a figure fell towards him.
Without much thought, Ye Xiu instinctively caught the person in his arms. If he didn't, the person would have fallen to the ground.
Soft to the touch, a faint fragrance wafted over.
Only then did Ye Xiu see that it was a female classmate.
"Thank, thank you, senior."
The female classmate shyly struggled out of Ye Xiu's embrace, lowered her head, and occasionally glanced at Ye Xiu with her beautiful eyes, her heart trembling.
There was no way around it; Ye Xiu was also a well-known handsome guy in school.
A level of school grass.
With a height of 1.85 meters, fair and handsome, he attracted quite a few admirers, even often being encountered by others at the classroom door or school gate.
This time, he simply treated it as a prank.
Ye Xiu smiled warmly, "It's okay, just be more careful when jogging in the future."
"Mm."
The female classmate blushed and turned away, and Ye Xiu noticed that the girl's neck was all red.
Ye Xiu shook his head helplessly.
Although he was already a senior in his fourth year, he still had an extremely strong appeal.
From freshmen to seniors, he was irresistible.
There was no way around it; sometimes being handsome was also a kind of trouble.
"Ding, you helped up a female classmate and received a reward of two hundred thousand."
Ye Xiu was taken aback while shaking his head in resignation. Did this count too?
"Host, charity knows no size, good deeds know no size. As long as it's a good deed, it counts!"
Alright, that's awesome!
In just a short while, he had already earned three hundred thousand!
This money came in too quickly!
Ye Xiu's family was not very wealthy, just ordinary middle-class.
In a year, they could only earn two to three hundred thousand.
And just by picking up a soda can and helping a female classmate, he earned the equivalent of his family's annual income.
This speed was simply unparalleled!
With a thought, Ye Xiu glanced at the row of bicycles placed outside the playground, many of which were carelessly left lying around, causing inconvenience to those who wanted to park later.
Without hesitation, Ye Xiu walked over.
"Ding, you have properly parked a bicycle and received a reward of one hundred thousand."
"Ding, you have properly parked a bicycle and received a reward of one hundred thousand."
"Ding, you have properly parked a bicycle and received a reward of one hundred thousand."
