This was the first time in over a year of having the system that Pei Qian had properly fleeced it.
Previously, his highest record was just over 20,000 in losses, and the most he’d converted was 40,000 yuan during the fourth settlement by making a profit.
But this time, Pei Qian had directly raised that record by thirty times!
Pei Qian instantly felt that all his struggles had meaning! All his hard work had value!
As for what to do in the next cycle…
Heh, he’d figure that out later!
Pei Qian also noticed that the Mingyun Mountain Villa he bought had increased in value!
The villa that originally cost over 6 million has now risen to over 8 million.
This was obviously because Mingyun Private Kitchen had a very noticeable driving effect on surrounding land prices, causing the villa’s price to rise accordingly.
Fortunately, since the system’s calculation method only counted 10% of fixed assets toward system funds, although the villa had increased by 2 million, it only meant an additional burden of 200,000 on the system funds, which was still within an acceptable range.
In any case, this desperate measure of drinking poison to quench thirst had worked!
Pei Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In his field of vision, the light screen continued to appear.
【This cycle’s special task: Both profit and loss are the way of business. The host seems overly fixated on temporary profits, which is not the mindset a business genius should have. It is recommended to achieve a loss in the next settlement. (Completed)】
【Special task completion reward: A mysterious surprise within the system rules. (Can be claimed)】
“Here it is, the special reward!”
Pei Qian was a bit excited, after all, he had gone to such great lengths this cycle, organizing the digital festival event and rushing to spend money. On one hand, it was to convert more money through losses, and on the other hand, it was to claim this special reward.
【System reward obtained: Rule adjustment (Charity)】
【An excellent entrepreneur must be enthusiastic about public welfare, frequently participate in charitable activities, and make outstanding contributions to society.】
【Every excellent entrepreneur should have a correct view of wealth: possessing wealth means shouldering more responsibility. This wealth does not belong to the individual but is entrusted by society to the individual to manage it better.】
【The system restriction on charitable activities is lifted. Starting from the next cycle, the host can engage in limited charitable activities. Each cycle, the maximum system funds consumed by charitable activities must not exceed 50% of the initial system funds for that cycle.】
【This reward will take effect after the system upgrade.】
“Huh?”
Seeing this long string of explanatory information, Pei Qian was a bit confused.
He had thought it would be some simple and crude reward, like an “African Spray” that would bring bad luck when sprayed, causing him to lose money frantically in the next cycle while lying in bed, with good news coming from everywhere.
But it wasn’t.
The special reward that Pei Qian had been thinking about turned out not to be a physical reward, but a simple adjustment to the existing rules of the system.
In the original system rules, using money for charitable causes was part of “malicious loss” and was forbidden.
But now, it had been loosened somewhat.
“Uh, so it means that in each cycle, I can get a fixed amount of money to use for charitable activities?”
“That’s great!”
Pei Qian understood very well that any new area to burn money was extremely precious!
Many times before, it was because he had several million that he couldn’t spend despite racking his brains, so he couldn’t avoid a loss.
But this time, the system stipulated that half of the initial system funds for the cycle could be used for charitable causes.
Simply put, if the starting funds for the next cycle were 10 million, then Pei Qian could take out 5 million to use for charity.
That’s a considerable sum of money!
This way, Pei Qian effectively gained another avenue for spending, reducing his burden by 5 million in the next cycle.
But the other rules remained unchanged. Pei Qian still had to ensure that the company’s capital chain wouldn’t break, and on this basis, the more losses, the better.
However, this new reward would not take effect immediately but needed to wait for a “system upgrade.”
The light screen in Pei Qian’s system appeared again.
【Next settlement time: 150 days later】
【System funds to be replenished, target amount: 10 million】
【System funds 4.06 million being replenished…】
【System funds replenishment complete.】
【System funds: 10 million + 840,000】
【Fixed assets: Mingyun Mountain Villa residential property (8.46 million)】
【Personal property: 1.83 million】
【Before entering the next settlement cycle, the system will undergo an update and upgrade. Please read the update instructions carefully.】
Indeed, this was a responsible system.
Pei Qian began to examine the so-called “system update instructions.”
