007, a daily mission?

Lin Mi immediately clicked on the trending topic about the stock market and carefully checked the timestamp.

“Whew, thank goodness! There’s still time,” she murmured.

A return rate of just over ten thousand was indeed a bit low. Since she had such an opportunity to learn important information in advance, it was only natural to maximize her gains sensibly. Otherwise, she’d be wasting a golden chance.

Fenghua Technology’s surge was scheduled for tomorrow night—a move designed to catch everyone off guard. She had to seize this opportunity for a quick profit!

As soon as midnight passed tonight, she would invest the entire sixteen thousand that had accumulated in her system wallet into Fenghua Technology. Once the stock soared, she’d pocket at least another two thousand.

Just one day, and she would earn an extra two thousand—far better than slogging through overtime to draft proposals.

Having sorted her thoughts, Lin Mi took out paper and pen from her canvas bag, ready to sketch out a short-term plan for herself.

As the saying goes, a faint ink is better than a good memory.

Step one: accumulate seed capital. By tomorrow night, she’d have nearly twenty thousand at hand, which would serve as the foundation of her new venture.

Step two: long-term strategy. She’d continue to use the wallet’s growth function to build her capital, while keeping an eye on [Hot Topics] and [Task List] to seek more opportunities, accumulate energy points, and unlock advanced features.

This plan was both steady and full of explosive potential. Her funds would only snowball, and she wouldn’t have to shoulder any risk.

If the wallet’s growth function provided a powerful financial backbone, then daily check-ins were a basic income and energy accumulation safeguard.

And the future trending topics function offered precise investment—or other—directions.

She had to admit, this miraculous wealth system was impressive; every feature was precise and practical.

Lin Mi took a sip of coffee. The cool liquid steadied her excited mind.

She knew this was only the beginning!

The road ahead was long, and she had to proceed with caution.

At that moment, sunlight streamed through the glass window, flooding the table with warmth. In this small café, a brand-new chapter of Lin Mi’s life was quietly unfolding.

“Today’s growth and check-in are done. Only the daily tasks remain,” she mused.

After finishing her short-term plan, Lin Mi picked up her phone and returned to the “Wealth Edition” system page.

She tapped open the [Task List] and reread the instructions for earning energy through follows, likes, and comments.

Lin Mi thought to herself—since there was this method, why not try it now?

She switched to the “Standard Edition” app and began browsing—not aimlessly, but selectively. She watched local food recommendations, agricultural content, pet videos, and upbeat educational shorts.

When she came across a video by a Chengdu food blogger visiting a humble eatery, she carefully commented: [This place looks so lively. Next time, I’ll definitely try the signature dish you recommended. Thanks for sharing!]

Then she scrolled to a video about rescuing stray cats, liked it, and commented: [That poor kitten! Thank you to the kind-hearted rescuer. I hope it finds a warm home soon. Every life deserves gentle care.]

She chose only positive content, and her comments were sincere and friendly.

About half an hour later, she switched back to the “Wealth Edition” system and was pleasantly surprised to find several daily tasks marked complete in the [Task List], earning her a total of thirty-five energy points.

With the ten from today’s check-in, she now had forty-five points.

“Not much, but it’s a good start,” Lin Mi thought contentedly. You can’t gain everything at once; accumulation takes time.

It seemed daily tasks weren’t difficult. As long as she sincerely discovered and shared good things, she could earn a bit of energy.

...

By the time she finished, it was nearly noon.

Lin Mi stretched, feeling relaxed. The gloom from quitting her job had vanished, replaced by boundless anticipation for the future.

After paying for her coffee, she strolled around the area, had a simple lunch, bought fresh fruit and vegetables, and planned to cook herself a lavish dinner tonight—a small celebration for her new life.

Back at her rented apartment, Lin Mi tidied up and curled up on the sofa, ready to study her newfound golden finger.

She felt like a child with a new toy, brimming with freshness and curiosity.

Especially with such a magical system.

Just as she pulled out her phone, the screen lit up.

A call came from Yuan Yuan, a colleague she got along with quite well.

“Mi, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly resign? I returned from leave this afternoon and heard you’d already completed the exit procedures,” Yuan Yuan’s booming voice came through, tinged with worry and urgency.

Before Lin Mi could answer, Yuan Yuan lowered her voice, “Be honest—last night, when Director Huang dragged you to that drinking session, did something unpleasant happen? You didn’t suffer, did you?”

Hearing her friend’s concern warmed Lin Mi’s heart. Though her months at Huanyu had been exhausting, it wasn’t all in vain—at least she’d gained a like-minded, kindred spirit.

“I’m fine, don’t worry...” Lin Mi quickly reassured her, then briefly recounted last night’s events.

Of course, she kept the phone mutation a secret. That was a matter of her own safety—a major concern.

No matter how close the relationship, some privacy was necessary.

After hearing her story, Yuan Yuan cursed furiously, “That’s outrageous! Huang is a real scoundrel! Always relying on women to climb the ladder, ugh! And Wu Qian—she’s such a troublemaker! She discards her morals and drags everyone down with her. I bet she can’t stand you being prettier and stealing her limelight, so she egged Huang on!”

“All right, don’t be angry. Luckily, someone stepped in to help me out. Maybe my personality just isn’t suited for big companies like Huanyu,” Lin Mi joked cheerfully, feeling no resentment as her friend vented on her behalf.

Yuan Yuan immediately retorted anxiously, “That’s not true at all! Huanyu’s loss is your gain. You’re so talented—certainly you’ll find a company better than Huanyu!”

“Mm, you don’t need to worry about me. I’ve already figured out my next steps. I’ll rest for a few days first,” Lin Mi replied vaguely. With the “Wealth” system, she had no intention of toiling nine-to-nine anymore.

Once she’d grown her seed capital into something substantial, then she could really make things happen.

For now, her capital accumulation wasn’t enough.
