[The 10x Modern System]
[System focused on power and wealth-building with awesome rewards!]
[System is designed to make the host not only the wealthiest in the universe but also the most intellectually equipped for wealth-building in this modern society.]
Chen Xuan recognized this. He was no stranger to systems at all.
He knew what this strange translucent interface was, with the purpose of guiding him in every endeavour of all three lives he had lived so far.
It seemed the Creator must be extremely creative, because even Chen Xuan was stunned to see what this was about. 'A money system? For me, Chen Xuan?' he inquired.

Reading the details of the panel, Chen Xuan relaxed on the wooden bench, stroking his beardless chin as he realized this could be the most fun.
'An economic anomaly, you say?'
'Why choose Chen Xuan?'
[Chen Xuan is a pathetic, frail boy without a shadow of respect to his name. For once in his life, the script needs to be flipped.]
'HAHA. I agree.' Chen Xuan mused with excitement as he reviewed the panel again, noting that all attributes were below average by far.
This was what poor nutrition could do to a young man, leading to loss of confidence both internally and externally.
Chen Xuan sought to improve them as quickly as possible. Even if the system only prioritized intellect and wealth, that doesn't mean he should neglect his physical body.
A lot of times, he had thought about going to the gym. But for a college student who could barely feed himself, gym membership was the last thing he would ever think of paying for.
Sighing, Chen Xuan's eyes landed on the Innate Skill: 10x Income Binding.
That was the only thing that occupied a field apart from the painful reminder of his account balance: $0.80.
'What's 10x Income Binding?' he asked the system.
[10X INCOME BINDING: By making physical contact with a target, you create a binding link to their financial flow. From that moment on, every income they receive will be mirrored to you at ten times (1000%) the value. Their earnings remain untouched; only you gain the multiplied reflection.]
[Level 1: Only one person can be bound at a time. The bond lasts for seven days before expiring, after which a new contact is required to renew it.]
Chen Xuan couldn't believe his eyes!
'This is unbelievable!' he thought.
"Please explain further, system," he asked politely.
[Touch someone, host, and you bind to their income. Every time money enters their account, you'll receive ten times that amount in your own account.]
[There will be no physical evidence. The person keeps their full earnings, and you just get the multiplied bonus. The bond works on only one person at a time and lasts for seven days before you must touch them again to renew it.]
[Mission Assigned!]
[Details: Host needs to properly understand and master the use of 10x Income Binding]
[Action: Secure your first credited income using 10x Income Binding]
[Reward: 100 EXP and +1 Intelligence]
Rising to his feet, Chen Xuan wasn't sure if he had felt this excited before.
His legs were trembling with weakness, but the urge to act pushed him forward. For the first time in forever, this body felt a surge of possibility rather than despair!
'Ten times the income just by touching someone? This might be the easiest, yet most dangerous way to live life!'
Chen Xuan stroked his chin as he wondered who he could possibly try this on. Apart from classmates and teachers, Chen Xuan knew of wealthy people like the Principal.
The thought of getting tenfold of the Principal's salary made him gasp in disbelief. But as his thoughts expanded, he realized the Principal was irrelevant on a bigger scale.
What was a school salary compared to the fortunes that flowed daily through business owners, investors, or even the hands of politicians? Imagine binding to the President of the country!
Imagine binding to Elon Musk!
'Haha! This is.... exhilarating,' Chen Xuan thought, though he knew it wouldn't be best to get ahead of himself. He had a system for a reason.
And now, it had assigned a vital mission: his first 10x Income Bind.
Glancing around the street, Chen Xuan noticed there weren't many people around because of how late it was at night. Only a few people heading home sparsely occupied the pavements, and a homeless man was digging through a dustbin.
Chen Xuan didn't want to just approach and touch anyone like that, so he ignored them.
Remembering a fast food joint that stays down the street, always open even at this time, Chen Xuan decided it was the best place since he was also hungry.
He set off away from the bench towards the joint with steps of relief, walking silently and alone on the wet, empty street with his hands in his pockets.
The sting of a breakup. The humiliation of being fired. None of these things seemed to unsettle this young man now that he had this system with him.
It wasn't a long walk, nor was it short, but soon enough, Chen Xuan arrived at the joint.
He pushed the glass door open and stepped into the bright fast-food restaurant, greeted by the warm glow of fluorescent lights and the smell of the food in the kitchen.
'A bit scantier than I expected,' Chen Xuan thought, his eyes scanning the empty red seats and white tables.
Only four guests occupied the place: an old couple eating together, a young woman at one end working on her laptop, and a man seated along the aisle, chewing on a burger.
After weighing his options, Chen Xuan chose the man in the aisle because he was the closest for casual contact, and being male would make things feel less awkward.
Raising his right palm, Chen Xuan's shadow fell over the weary-looking man, who seemed like he had just clocked out from a long 9-to-7.
Swiftly, he lowered his hand and pressed it against the man's shoulder, making physical contact.
