Chapter 1: The Offer Nobody Should Refuse
Mira Sterling poured a cup of hot water, sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, and logged into the recruitment software that she had not touched since graduation.
The screen lit up, and the pale light reflected her face - tired and confused.
Mira Sterling was unemployed.
She had not been singled out and fired; the entire company had folded.
When she was a senior in college, she was introduced to a small advertising company by her classmates.
The boss of this company has an open-minded personality and never delays wages. The company's business is stable and there is no overtime culture. The atmosphere among colleagues is harmonious and there is no infighting in the office.
For young people who are new to the workplace, it can be called a dream job.
She is very satisfied with this job.
Unfortunately, the boss's family's investment went wrong and he went bankrupt, and the small company was also liquidated.
Mira Sterling stayed with this company for less than a year, but seeing it close down made her feel unexpectedly heartsore.
The house she is renting now is a one-bedroom apartment located in the old town. The key to being close to the company is that the rent is cheap - she just paid the next quarter's rent last month.
The thought of having to find a new job or even move made Mira Sterling's head hurt even more.
After finishing her resume, she sent out applications to dozens of companies, closed the computer, and fell asleep.
Even if the sky is falling, you have to sleep first!
Suddenly, in a dark field of vision, a gilded letter seemed to have wings and flew out of thin air. The letter slowly unfolded in front of her eyes——
Her eyes shot open.
The letter is still there. Like some kind of floating phantom special effect, lingering.
It's an offer.
The other party called herself "Infinite Life Experiences" and offered her a job. The position was "Luxury Experience Tester".
The company will equip her with Luxury Ascension System as a personal assistant and provide unlimited mission funds. The only thing she has to do is spend money.
All items purchased with Luxury Ascension System (including virtual property) belong to her permanently, and the system will also provide additional rewards.
The only price is that once she accepts the offer, she must complete the task of spending money seriously. If she finds a brutal workaholic job and is so busy that she can't find time to spend money, the system will judge her as being passive and sabotaging her work and initiate a punishment mechanism.
Of course, the system will never impose any punishment that endangers host's personal safety, but will only impose some innocuous and small "punishments".
For example, if you have a bald head like the Mediterranean Sea, take photos with ugly filters, online shopping must be delayed by a week, and when playing games, you must be queued up with a godly teammate and then kneel down... and so on.
Mira Sterling: "..."
Wow. That was a brutally effective punishment.
But! Who would insist on working every day after binding Luxury Ascension System?
Was she really supposed to keep working after this?
Mira Sterling signed her name with complicated emotions.
Bang! Magical light effects like fireworks exploded before her eyes.
A clear voice sounded in my ears, a mechanical voice full of technology: "Hello host, Luxury Ascension System is at your service."
The silver-white panel slowly unfolded in front of her.
[Novice task: consume 10,000 dollars of system funds (automatically issued to the bank card with host ending in 5668), and can be completed within 24 hours. Reward: Get 1:100 cash back. 】
At this time, the mobile phone interface of Mira Sterling lights up.
"Account change reminder: Account with tail number 5668 received a transfer income of 10,000 dollars at 22:56 on May 26, and the current balance is 72,834.6 dollars."
The funds have arrived the moment the task is released.
Although Mira Sterling had been mentally prepared for it, when she saw that the ten thousand dollars came so quickly, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"1:100 cash back", these few words made her heart beat faster instantly.
"You mean, if I spend 10,000 dollars, I can get one million into my account?" She was a little surprised, "Could this one million be the funds for the next mission?"
System: "No. The cashback reward belongs to your personal income, and the system will never move it without authorization."
"After you complete the task, the cashback rewards will be credited to your designated bank card. If you have any special arrangements for these funds, the system can also hold them on your behalf for you to access at any time."
Mira Sterling spoke quickly: "No need to hold it on behalf of you, just give me the bank card."
If she can really get the million without any obstacles, at least it means that the system is not a joke.
Mira Sterling click to open the shopping software.
Even though she had never been a wealthy person, it was too easy to spend 10,000 dollars.
Mira Sterling directly searches for gold bracelets and enters the price of about 10,000 dollars in the filter.
In recent years, the price of precious metals has continued to soar. Judging from the search results of shopping software, 10,000 dollars can only buy between eight and nine grams of gold jewelry. If you want to buy a serious solid bracelet, you may only be able to buy children's models...
Alas, if it is used to buy gold, the budget of 10,000 dollars is still a bit small.
So she chose a big-name star gold bracelet for herself. A hollow woven gold chain is decorated with large and small stars, some solid and some hollow. Judging from the picture returned by the buyer, it is a thin strip, but it sparkles on the wrist.
It weighs 8.9g and sells for 10,294 dollars.
Add to cart and prepare to pay.
Before making the payment, Mira Sterling suddenly asked the system with great happiness: "If I contribute money myself and my consumption exceeds the amount provided by the task, can the extra part be counted towards me when receiving cash back?"
This is a hundred times cash back!
The system only gave her a limit of 10,000, but if she put her own savings in...
"No." The system said bluntly, "The cashback reward is based on the amount provided by the system. The excess of your own expenses will not be counted."
In other words, this time the system has given a quota of 10,000, and the maximum 100 times cashback is only 1 million. It is only possible to give less, not more.
This was expected by Mira Sterling. One hundred times cash back is a very magical number, and loopholes in the rules are not easy to exploit. She was not discouraged. On the contrary, when she thought about the one million that was about to arrive, she suddenly became extremely proud.
Check out and pay!
"Account change reminder: Your account with the last number 5668 spent 10,294 dollars at 23:12 on May 26, and the current balance is 62,540.6 dollars."
Mira Sterling picked up the water glass next to the bed and drank it in one gulp, and then stared at her text message interface impatiently.
"When will the cashback arrive?"
The system said: "host, please wait patiently. At midnight, the cashback will be credited to your card regularly."
There's almost an hour left.
Mira Sterling breathed a sigh of relief and secretly warned himself to be patient.
She couldn't sleep anyway, so she lay down and started scrolling through her phone, quietly waiting for midnight to arrive.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The phone's time jumps to 00:00.
Ding.
"Account change reminder: Your account with the last number 5668 received a transfer income of 1,000,000 dollars at 00:00 on May 27, and the current balance is 1,062,540.6 dollars."
The one million promised by the system has arrived.
