Chapter 1: Infinite Cashback
Lin Mo stared at the cracked phone screen in his hand.
Three missed calls. All from the bank.
His balance was negative—again.
Across the café, his girlfriend of three years sat stiffly, fingers wrapped around her coffee cup like it was a shield.
"We should break up," she said flatly.
Lin Mo didn't argue. He already saw it coming.
"You're a good person," she added, not meeting his eyes. "But… good doesn't pay rent."She stood up, heels clicking away like punctuation marks at the end of a sentence he never got to finish.
The café felt quieter after she left.
That was when the screen of his phone flickered.
A blue translucent panel appeared.
[Sponsor System Detected]
[Binding in progress…]
Lin Mo blinked. Once. Twice.
"Great," he muttered. "Now I'm hallucinating."
[Binding Complete]
[Welcome, Host: Lin Mo]
His breath hitched.
[System Rule #1: Spend money to earn money.]
[System Rule #2: Sponsor to multiply returns.]
A line of text pulsed brighter.
[Initial Gift: 1,000,000 yuan]
His phone vibrated.
Balance updated.
Lin Mo froze.
The number was real.
His heartbeat thundered in his ears.
"Holy—"
[New Task: Sponsor a Target]
[Reward: Cashback x5 + Lottery Draw]
An hour later, Lin Mo stood in the lobby of Qingyu Capital Group, still half-convinced he'd wake up any second.
That was when he saw her.
Tall. Elegant. Cold eyes behind rimless glasses.
Su Qingyu.
The woman who controlled a company worth billions.
She was arguing quietly with her assistant, irritation barely concealed.
Lin Mo stepped forward before he could overthink it.
"Miss Su."
She turned. Her gaze sharpened.
"Yes?"
"I'd like to invest."
The assistant scoffed. "Do you have an appointment?"
Lin Mo smiled and held up his phone.
"One million. Right now."
Silence fell.
Su Qingyu studied him, eyes flicking from his calm expression to his posture—straight, unflinching.
Interesting.
"Follow me," she said.
Two hours later, contracts lay signed.
Su Qingyu leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs.
"You're reckless," she said coolly. "But… bold."
Lin Mo met her gaze. "I believe in you."
For just a second, something flickered in her eyes.
[Target Emotional Fluctuation Detected]
[Sponsorship Available]
[Confirm?]
Lin Mo confirmed.
The system chimed.
[Sponsor Contract Established: Su Qingyu]
[Cashback Triggered: 5,000,000 yuan returned]
His phone buzzed again.
Then—
[Milestone Achieved: First Sponsor]
[Lottery Draw Unlocked]
A golden wheel spun in his vision.
It slowed.
Stopped.
[Reward: 20% Shares — Qingyu Capital Group]
Lin Mo's smile deepened.
Across the desk, Su Qingyu suddenly felt… watched.
"Why are you smiling like that?" she asked.
"No reason," Lin Mo replied softly. "Just thinking…"
This city was about to get very expensive.
And very interesting.
