"Host, you're out of money."
"Yeah."
Su Ning nodded in deep sorrow. Fifteen lottery draws had wiped out not only the tiny bit of change left over from the one hundred million task but every last cent in her account... Alas, she would never again laugh at rich people for sounding intellectually challenged.
She had less than two hundred thousand left.
So poor.
She was truly so poor.
"Actually, Host, you don't need to be too anxious."
The Rich and Heartless System reminded her.
"The only thing out of money is your reward account balance. I took a look at the money you've earned yourself, and it's quite a lot. It can tide you over for a while."
The fertilizer plant was a monopoly, literally raking in gold every day.
Then there were those fertile lands, shops, and shareholdings that were constantly making money for Su Ning. The oil business was still in its infancy and didn't count, but all these things added together amounted to an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Oh, that doesn't count."
Su Ning said self-righteously, "Business is business, and personal is personal. I separate them very clearly and will absolutely never mix them up. This is my bottom line as a person."
What a joke.
Wouldn't that just be paying out of her own pocket to go to work!
Absolutely impossible.
System...
"Suit yourself. Anyway, if you can't make ends meet, this system won't open a back door for you." When her wealthy persona collapsed, hmph, Su Ning would be the one in trouble.
"I don't need it."
Su Ning took a sip of flat cola, felt it was a bit sweet, and said faintly.
This wasn't right.
The system was suspicious. One moment it felt Su Ning was bluffing, and the next it felt she was up to no good. Anyway, it was absolutely impossible for Su Ning to have suddenly grown a conscience.
"Check the balance."
Su Ning suddenly spoke.
What's wrong with the balance... how did it reach two hundred thousand???
It was still going up by a few bucks, tens of bucks. Although slow, it hadn't stopped at all. Just then, a sudden ding ding ding reward notification sounded, and the balance instantly jumped from six digits to seven digits!
Aside from the Guan family, there were also a few scattered level two and three plot characters.
The system felt like it was in a dream.
"Did you see that?" Su Ning was in high spirits. "This is word of mouth. This is the importance of shaping a persona. Even if I do nothing, people will automatically hate and despise me, contributing funds to me, hahahaha."
It was a laugh full of villainous flavor.
Effort must be put into the daily routine, a quote from a certain outstanding rich and heartless tasker.
After laughing enough, there was an even happier matter.
Su Ning opened the details of the one hundred million task reward. In an instant, the sky was filled with fireworks, ribbons, and exploding gold stars, incredibly gorgeous.
"System?"
"I didn't add these special effects!" It had never seen such a scene either.
"Host, I think the reward this time might exceed expectations."
Exceedingly good.
Hearing this, Su Ning also sat up straight. Thinking of the words excellent comprehensive rating, although she didn't know exactly what the rating was based on, she figured it was nothing more than speed, quality, and subsequent impact.
Sure enough, it was roughly as she had guessed.
Spending money was different from spending money.
Things like buying luxury goods and building houses to improve one's quality of life were just throwing money around.
It would also make people envious and jealous.
But the fact that she used it to mine oil fields, and just the huge reward she got from the middle of it, was enough to show which one fit the definition of rich and heartless better.
Reeling in her wandering thoughts, Su Ning took a deep breath and looked at the rewards.
"Reward one, Offset Card times two. This card can exempt you from the death penalty of a failed task once, changing it to another non fatal penalty. Note: The penalty is random."
"Reward two, Non plot character prize pool upgrade. The upper limit is raised to ten thousand. Note: Without a life or death feud, this upper limit cannot be reached."
"Reward three, When the tasker is rich and heartless, the reward will randomly receive a critical strike bonus. Note: The probability of doubling is one hundred percent, with no upper limit."
A total of three rewards.
Su Ning thought for a moment. "Usually, taskers only get the offset card, right?"
Exemption from the death penalty.
"That's right."
The system still hadn't recovered from the shock and spoke blankly. "This reward is the minimum guarantee. As long as you complete the one hundred million spending task, you will get it, but usually there is only one..."
And its host had two.
"But it's still best to complete the remaining two tasks. Even though you won't die, random penalties are also very uncomfortable."
"For example?"
"Getting seriously ill is the most common, as well as disability, insomnia, baldness, freezing the reward account for a period of time. Anyway, there are many, many. If your luck is bad, it's also possible to just be finished."
Take getting seriously ill for example.
The taskers didn't do good deeds. If they were weak at this time and their control dropped, it would be easy for people to take revenge on them for their grievances and grudges.
Game over.
"I understand."
Su Ning nodded carefully. Unless absolutely necessary, she would never give up on a task.
As for reward two, it was very easy to understand.
It was also her favorite. "This is simply tailor made for me."
Su Ning sighed.
Before, an NPC could be drained for a maximum of one hundred yuan, but now it had been increased by a full hundred times. The effect was also very obvious, as the balance growth rate had significantly increased.
If one day she needed to leave successful experiences for junior taskers.
Su Ning would tell them.
Don't ignore the preliminary preparation work. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
Life will not let down anyone who works hard!
Keep it up.
"As for the third reward, I've actually only heard of it and have never truly seen it. It's simply too rare, so Host, you can only slowly figure it out yourself. But the minimum is a doubling, so it's definitely better than the first two."
"Yeah."
Wasn't this just gambling on luck.
Su Ning decided to properly build a relationship with her uncle. Acting on her words, she took some fried chicken and went to the Su family... Because she had to leave Beiping for the shareholders meeting, this golden and crispy food had also been shown off by Half-Immortal Su until everyone knew about it.
Look, my eldest niece.
She treats me so well. When she has something delicious, she doesn't forget me, her uncle.
This provoked others to complain in private. Isn't it just wrapping some chicken in batter and frying it in a hot oil pan, what's so great about it.
Hey, it really was great.
Some restaurants tried to make it, wanting to borrow the gimmick of Su Ning liking it, but what they made couldn't be considered unpalatable, yet it absolutely couldn't be said to be delicious either. It was a waste of that oil and chicken.
Immediately, there were doubts.
"What do you frogs at the bottom of the well know. Could the things my eldest niece eats be that simple?"
Half-Immortal Su clamored.
Just saying it wouldn't convince anyone, but he also presented the fried chicken at the same time.
Those who had eaten it all fell silent.
An old gourmand said that the key should lie in the chicken meat, which was soft, tender, and juicy, not tough or dry at all. At this point, it was just a small matter of whether the food was delicious or not, but unexpectedly, following the trail down, a piece of hearsay came out.
The reason this kind of chicken was tender was because it grew fast.
How fast was it?
It would be about three or four catties in just two months.
...
Regarding the white feather chicken, Su Ning had merely placed a casual chess piece to lay the groundwork. The time to truly exert strength hadn't come yet. Right now, the important thing was to truly take Swire Shipping into her pocket.
If nothing unexpected happened.
It could also fill up her shriveled balance.
On the other side.
Dragging his heavily injured body, Anton finally saw his own mother.
"Oh God, Anton, how did you get hurt?"
The woman covered her mouth, tears falling like rain.
"Fernand has already left me, Anton, you absolutely cannot leave me too. And where is Su Ning? As your fiancée, why didn't she take good care of you, or even come here with you? I'm going to go confront her. This is too much, too selfish. God will not bless a person like her, not unless she kneels before Him and repents deeply..."
"Say no more."
Antonio's expression was bleak and defeated.
"Mom, Su Ning is a liar. She only made that agreement to use me from the very beginning. She is a cold-blooded, heartless monster through and through."
"What!"
The woman was in disbelief.
"I suffered these injuries trying to save her, but it meant nothing. She didn't waver in the slightest. Isn't that proof enough?"
Antonio held her hand and said earnestly, "Mom, I know you are kind and believe there are no bad people in the world, but that is only because Dad protected you and kept the bad people away from you."
"Fernand."
The woman habitually lowered her head and choked back a sob, but her son firmly gripped her shoulders.
"Dad is gone, so we must be strong. Taikoo Shipping is the legacy he left us. We absolutely cannot let Su Ning get her way!"
"We need to do something."
