008, one hundred sixty thousand?

"That's good. Let me know when you find a suitable place, and I'll come join you. This wretched company, full of smoke and filth, I doubt I'll last much longer here myself."

"Of course! No problem!" Hearing her friend's words, Lin Mi suddenly had a flash of inspiration—an excellent idea occurred to her.

But there was no rush; she needed to wait a bit longer.

After hanging up, Lin Mi continued to study the "Wealth Symphony" system app on her phone.

As soon as she entered the system, she noticed the [Friends] section. Immediately, she thought of Yuan Yuan. Now that she had left Huanyu, those disputes and sordid matters wouldn't trouble her anymore.

She wondered whether Huang Wei and Wu Qian would make things difficult for Yuan Yuan, knowing that girl's temper was even more stubborn and fiery than her own.

She was never one to suppress a conflict.

Lin Mi promptly added Yuan Yuan to her system's friends list. Instantly, Yuan Yuan's personal page displayed her upcoming activity for the next day.

[At 8 p.m., tried on a beautiful dress at the mall, argued with the sales assistant.]

Lin Mi's lips twitched at this update.

This was truly a life-filled status.

So, the friends' future activity feature only displayed events involving social interaction, not ordinary daily routines? The system recorded interactions, not mundane affairs.

Actually, she found this quite useful.

This way, she could keep a timely eye on the well-being of those close to her.

Especially her parents, living back in the county. They always shared good news, never bad, and since she wasn't by their side, often she couldn't communicate or understand their situation in time.

So, Lin Mi proceeded to add all important contacts from her phone book to the system's friends list.

Once the additions were successful, she browsed through everyone's future activities, and seeing that all was well, she felt at ease.

After this flurry of activity, dinner time was approaching.

Humming a tune, Lin Mi began preparing her evening meal.

A simple two-dish meal and a soup—her good mood made everything taste particularly delicious.

After dinner, rather than reading materials or watching videos as usual, she brewed a cup of floral tea, sat on the sofa, and opened the "Wealth Symphony" app once more.

She wanted to study those trending topics in detail to see if there was any useful information.

[#South City Overpass Severe Traffic Accident During Morning Rush# Time: September 17th]

This news made Lin Mi's heart clench.

Tomorrow's morning rush? South City Overpass?

Instinctively, she wondered if she could do something.

But then she recalled the system rules: If she altered a trending topic of negative nature and it led to worse consequences, her energy points would be deducted.

Her energy was already scarce, and such traffic accidents were complicated. As an ordinary person, the risks of intervening were too great.

"Forget it, better to act within my means."

She was only just beginning to use this "Wealth Symphony" system. Many functions and rules were still unfamiliar, and some features remained unverified.

At least, for now, it was unwise to act rashly.

Lin Mi could only silently pray and turned to the next trending topic.

[#Rong City to Experience Three Days of Extreme Heat Starting September 18th#]

This news didn't affect her personally, but perhaps it could be a small opportunity for positive guidance?

For example, she could send out a reminder on her regular app to advise everyone to take precautions against the heat.

Even if it didn't earn much energy, it was better than nothing.

As for [#Lin Ying's Husband Revealed! Turns Out to Be Third-Tier Actor Zhou Mingxuan# Time: September 19th], this was pure gossip, and she saw no value to exploit for now.

Time ticked by...

Lin Mi kept studying the system app, glancing at the time on her phone now and then.

Finally, she made it to midnight. Lin Mi quickly opened the system [Wallet].

The numbers on the screen blurred, then refreshed!

The previous "16,275.00" instantly became—162,750!

"Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands..."

Lin Mi extended her finger, counting each digit to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

It really was over one hundred sixty thousand!

In one night, her money had jumped from a little over ten thousand to more than one hundred sixty thousand!

A tidal wave of joy and disbelief flooded Lin Mi. She couldn't help but leap from the sofa, spinning twice in the small living room before diving back onto the sofa, hugging her giant teddy bear and grinning foolishly.

"I'm rich! I'm really rich!"

Watching the money rocket upward was exhilarating!

Lin Mi took several deep breaths to calm her excitement.

"Stay calm, Lin Mi. This is only the beginning!"

Tomorrow morning, she'd withdraw all the money from her system wallet into her bank account, then invest it in Fenghua Technology's stock.

After the market hit its upper limit tomorrow night, she'd withdraw it back to her system wallet. In this way, the day after tomorrow, her system balance would multiply again.

With dreams of wealth swirling in her heart, Lin Mi drifted happily into sleep.

**

The next day, September 17th, Tuesday.

Lin Mi woke up early, full of energy. Despite last night's excitement, she had slept soundly.

She started with her daily check-in: [Ding! Check-in successful! You have received 2,000 yuan, deposited into your system wallet! Energy +10 points!]

Wallet balance: 162,750 + 2,000 = 164,750 yuan.

Energy points: 45 + 10 = 55.

"Excellent, just excellent! Doing nothing and getting two thousand a day as a minimum—this system is amazing!"

After washing up and enjoying a simple breakfast, Lin Mi opened her computer and logged into her securities account.

She was still a bit nervous; it was her first time making such a large stock purchase, and all based on a fantastical "golden finger."

The A-share market opened at 9:30 a.m.

At 9:15, the pre-market auction began.

Lin Mi found "Fenghua Technology (XXXXX)," seeing yesterday's closing price was 12.5 yuan.

She calculated: her current total funds were 164,750 yuan, which could buy about 164,750 / 12.5 = 13,180 shares.

She decided to go all in!

At 9:25, the pre-market auction ended, and Fenghua Technology opened at 12.6 yuan—a slight uptick.

At 9:30, the market officially opened!

Lin Mi stared at the screen, and when the price fluctuated to 12.58 yuan, she decisively placed a market order.

Soon, the transaction confirmation popped up.

She had successfully purchased 13,180 shares of Fenghua Technology, emptying her system account.

"Now, all that's left is to wait," Lin Mi exhaled, palms slightly damp.

She closed the trading software and opened a regular news app.

Quickly, a local news alert appeared: [Breaking! This morning during rush hour, multiple cars collided on South City Overpass. Details of casualties are unclear. Police are on site. Drivers are advised to take alternate routes.]

Seeing this, Lin Mi's heart sank. It had happened—just as expected.
