Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Level 2 System Upgrade
"The upgrade path for the Level 2 System involves completing 6 Divine Rich tasks, with no time limit. Each task completed will earn a reward."
"Task 1: High-profile life main task, achieve over 1 billion reputation points among the world’s 7.4 billion people. Each person’s attention provides 1 reputation point. Current reputation value is 6.25 million/1 billion."
Task reward: 10 billion RMB, Godly Rich Aura upgrade."
Gu Bai was stunned when he saw the first task.
Starting with a royal flush?
billion reputation, meaning one-seventh of the global population must know about me? This task is too difficult, right? How could it possibly be done?
Probably aware of Gu Bai’s doubts, the system explained: "As long as someone has heard of you in any aspect, it counts as 1 reputation point."
"That’s still hard!"
Gu Bai couldn’t help complaining, but fortunately, the recent Weibo hot search incident added 6.25 million reputation, so it doesn’t seem too difficult, as long as he continues to stir things up in the future.
However, the system wasn’t interested in listening to Gu Bai’s complaints and proceeded to announce the second task.
"Task 2: Divine Rich Wealth, Distribute with Moderation.
Complete charitable tasks helping 100,000 people. Specific task standard: truly help the aided person out of their current predicament, which will +1 charity degree. Current charity degree is 0/100,000."
Task reward: 10 billion RMB, title: Redemption of the Kidney Eater (Wearing this title keeps physical attributes at a maximum of 100 points permanently.)"
Seeing the second task, Gu Bai’s eyes lit up.
This task is good; it allows me to help the masses in need. As for the system rewards, they’re not important anymore; he simply wants to do charity.
points physique.
Isn’t this known as the legendary bulldozer physique?
He’s not tempted at all.
"Task Three: Business Tycoon, Successfully become one of Hua Country’s business representatives and achieve a cumulative profit of 20 billion RMB, excluding losses."
Current profit: 3.25 million/20 billion.
Task reward: 10 billion RMB, one-time large enterprise free acquisition opportunity (system funds the purchase.)"
This task, to be honest, is the easiest for Gu Bai to accomplish. Not to mention his rebirth status, the system is providing him with funds without counting costs, allowing him to quickly earn 20 billion RMB. After all, the system clearly states it does not count losses."
What does that mean?
It means they only accumulate the money you earn, not the money you lose.
The money you earn adds profit points, losses don’t deduct.
This can be slowly accumulated, should not be a problem. As for being a business representative, it’s a false proposition. It’s not necessary for him to become a top figure like Boss Huateng or Boss Ma Yun. Reaching the peak in a certain industry is also considered a business representative."
"Task 5: Influence, exert a certain influence on 100 million people’s minds. Regardless of whether this influence is positive or negative, it can be counted towards task completion."
Task completion: 600,000/100 million."
Task reward: 10 billion RMB, 10 super high-intelligence robots (distributed in batches according to task completion progress, one granted upon achieving 1/10.)"
Influence?
Now Gu Bai is a bit confused.
Doing charity should count as influence, right? And it must be positive influence.
As for negative...
Gu Bai really hasn’t thought about it. Could it be asking me to go stab people like the barbecue stall owner?
Gu Bai shook his head.
No, I won’t do illegal acts or consume poisonous things; this is the expression of a high-quality Divine Rich.
"Task 6: Task content unknown."
Task reward: 30 billion RMB, unknown reward."
Seeing the last task, Gu Bai can’t help it.
What does it mean by task unknown?
If by the time I complete the first five tasks, the last task is stuck here, how will I upgrade?
Saying this, he started complaining to the system.
However, the system didn’t respond to him but used a completely emotionless electronic voice: "Mainline system upgrade tasks have been issued, waiting for the host to complete all mainline tasks to advance to Level 3."
"This system upgrade has added a new function; to ensure system confidentiality, the system has faked a fictitious identity using world mainline discord. The identity has a confidentiality level of S, which the host has no right to know. Only personnel with the highest authority in this world are qualified to view this identity. The host should promptly enhance the Divine Rich status to avoid a series of uncontrollable factors affecting system confidentiality."
"The Level 2 System will provide the host with funds totaling 100 billion RMB, 80 billion as task completion rewards, and another 20 billion already deposited into the system account."
"Details of the Level 2 system upgrade have been fully communicated, please host strive to upgrade."
After finishing, the system coolly vanished as usual.
Leaving Gu Bai by the window, still entranced by the system explanation.
Level 2 System equates to 100 billion; following this algorithm, Level 1 is 10 billion, and if upgraded to Level 3, wouldn’t it be 1 trillion? And Level 4 would buy up the entire world?
Gu Bai dared not think further; 100 billion already seems terrifying to him.
The most direct manifestation is the current richest man in Hua Country, which is Principal Wang’s father, with a net worth of 31.3 billion US Dollars, equivalent to 219.1 billion RMB at the current exchange rate.
Doesn’t this mean that as long as I complete all tasks of the Level 2 System, I directly become half the richest man in Hua Country?
Meanwhile, at the Shanghai Branch of Construction Bank on the other side of the Earth, a major event occurred.
At this moment in the country, it’s five o’clock in the afternoon, and Ge Aimin, the branch manager of the Shanghai Branch, is preparing to go home from work when Director Sheng Lishan, responsible for deposit tasks, bursts into the manager’s office without even knocking.
Seeing the panicked Sheng Lishan, Ge Aimin couldn’t help but frown and scold, "Director Sheng, have you forgotten the simple rule of knocking before entering?"
However, Sheng Lishan didn’t explain but said directly, "Manager, just now, a huge foreign exchange of 2.85 billion US Dollars was transferred from the United States to our branch!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Aimin’s original anger dissipated immediately.
"Which company’s account is it?"
With that said, Ge Aimin’s top-notch mind started to turn.
In his impression, there isn’t a company with such financial power, 2.85 billion US Dollars, which is about 20 billion RMB. Usually, companies at this level are directly handled by the headquarters; why would such a big deal be given to a branch like ours?
"It’s not a company account, but a personal account!"
Once those words dropped, Ge Aimin couldn’t help but be shocked.
He’s been the manager of the Shanghai Branch for nearly 20 years and has never encountered a personal account with a deposit as high as 20 billion.
"What’s going on, speak slowly!"
Faced with such a large sum of money, Ge Aimin was not excited at first; instead, he felt uneasy. If there was an issue with the funds and they successfully entered the country, he would be responsible as the manager.
Sheng Lishan immediately explained everything to Ge Aimin in detail.
"The moment these funds entered our bank, I reported it to the higher-ups immediately, but they haven’t replied to me yet."
"A reply? What exactly do you do as the director responsible for deposits? How did such a large sum bypass our monitoring system and directly transfer into our bank?!"
This sentence was clearly about starting to pass the buck.
Cold sweat streamed down Sheng Lishan’s face; as the director responsible for deposits and supervision, this was indeed his responsibility, and if it came to accountability, he couldn’t escape.
"Who is the account holder?"
Sheng Lishan looked at the file in his hand and quickly responded, "Gu Bai!"
"Gu Bai?"
The face of the young and handsome Gu Bai immediately popped up in Ge Aimin’s mind.
He had a strong impression of Gu Bai, whose deposits in the bank once reached billions.
But this wasn’t the time for him to overthink; he could only wait with Sheng Lishan for a response from the regulatory department.
A few minutes later, the phone on Ge Aimin’s office desk rang.
He quickly answered.
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, the previously stern face of Ge Aimin started to turn into a smile.
A few more minutes passed and Ge Aimin put down the phone, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Seeing his expression, Sheng Lishan already guessed that the money was fine, but couldn’t help but ask, "Manager, what did the regulatory department say?"
Ge Aimin chuckled.
"The regulatory department says that the funds are completely reasonable and legal, and are allowed to circulate in the domestic financial market!"
"Great!"
Upon hearing this news, Sheng Lishan also became excited.
Since the source of the funds is not an issue, this matter totally turns into a massive victory!
Looking at the excited Sheng Lishan, Ge Aimin even addressed him from Director Sheng to Old Sheng: "Old Sheng, how many years have you been as the director responsible for deposits?"
"Yeah, including this year, it’s been almost four years."
"This year, the vice manager of our branch who is responsible for deposits, Old Xu, is about to retire. I will recommend you to the headquarters this time."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lishan’s excitement showed straightaway.
Ge Aimin’s direct statement was almost like telling him that the vice manager position this year would definitely include him!
How could Sheng Lishan not be excited?
"Oh, regarding the account holder Gu Bai, contact him immediately; I will personally visit him! This fund must be kept in our Construction Bank! It cannot be lost!"
Sheng Lishan nodded but thought of something, explaining, "Manager, I checked the basic information about him in our bank right after the funds came in. He had asked our staff to help him with a visa, so he probably isn’t in the country now."
Upon hearing this, Ge Aimin nodded.
"No problem, notify me the moment he returns to the country. From now on, you are Gu Bai’s exclusive customer manager. You must handle any of his requests immediately. If you can’t, come to me. He is now our bank’s private depositor with the highest cash assets. Treat this seriously!"
"Understood!"
Becoming Gu Bai’s exclusive customer manager was not something he resisted; in fact, he was very willing. With 20 billion cash alone, how terrifying must the power behind him be?
Meanwhile, far away in Italy, Gu Bai is unaware that he inexplicably gained a customer manager of vice manager level.
