Du Ze, who was still groggy from a hangover, immediately sobered up.
He quickly opened his China Merchants Bank app and stared at the long string of zeros in his balance, swallowing hard.
What's going on?
His bank account actually had an extra million in deposits?
Du Ze's heart instantly raced.
As a struggling online novel author who had been writing part-time for three years, he had never imagined that one day he would be like the protagonists in those online novels, waking up to sudden wealth!
But where did this money come from?
Could it be some new type of scam?
Or did the bank make a mistake?
Du Ze quickly checked the transfer information again and was even more bewildered.
Because the sender's field actually read "Tycoon Game Trust Fund"?
The memo said "Fund Dividend"!
Holy crap!
Du Ze suddenly remembered.
tycoon game?
Wasn't that the junk game he somehow downloaded to his phone last night?
Du Ze immediately searched online and actually found information about the Tycoon Game Trust Fund.
This was an offshore trust institution registered in the Caribbean.
The business of such institutions generally involves managing the client's funds, and the generated profits are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the agreement.
Many wealthy people abroad use "trust funds" to leave independent assets for their children.
Like top tycoons such as Bill Gates.
But he just played a game, so why would someone transfer money to him?
Du Ze quickly returned to his phone's home screen and found that the mysterious tycoon game app from last night was indeed still there.
After opening it, the game was still on the interface he had exited last night.
A small figure resembling himself stood on a game map modeled after the Magic City map.
Besides that, there was a number in the game interface's funds section: 1,001,240.60 yuan!
It was exactly the same as the money in his bank card!
After his ex-wife Lin Zhenru divorced him, Du Ze used almost all the money from selling their house to pay off debts.
He had no savings; all the money he had earned before was handed over to Lin Zhenru.
He only got one or two thousand for pocket money each month.
So after the divorce, his savings were only 1,240.6 yuan.
Exactly the same as the leading digits of the current game funds!
Du Ze felt this couldn't be a coincidence.
He thought for a moment and claimed the ten thousand yuan that Xia Jia had transferred to him via WeChat last night.
Sure enough, the next moment, his in-game funds became 1,011,240.60 yuan!
He then transferred the ten thousand yuan he had just received back to Xia Jia, and the in-game funds changed again to 1,001,240.60 yuan!
Case closed!
He was indeed like the protagonists in online novels, accidentally gaining a magical golden finger!
The money earned in this tycoon game app on his phone could be withdrawn and become real!
Thinking of this, Du Ze swept away his previous disdain for the game and began to study it carefully.
His golden finger was different from those in online novels; it wasn't a system, but a game that could be integrated into reality!
The drawback was that there were no system instructions common in online novels, so he had to figure everything out himself.
Fortunately, Du Ze had worked as a planner in a game company before, so understanding how to play this game wasn't difficult.
Thus, Du Ze put himself in the shoes of a game developer and began to analyze the game's situation.
The 'forward' button was unclickable; could it be because his current turn hadn't ended yet?
From its appearance, this game looked very much like the Monopoly-style games Du Ze had played before.
Such games are usually turn-based, where a player can only act once per turn.
So, was he currently still in the first turn?
Did he have to wait until the next turn to continue acting?
Besides that, since the funds in the game could be brought into reality, what about the items in the game?
When he did the ten-pull yesterday, Du Ze also got an item card.
Soon, Du Ze saw two cards in the item section.
One was a mission card, and the other was an item card.
Du Ze first looked at the item card.
【Item Card: Vengeance】
【After use, silently recite the name of the target for vengeance in your heart, and a chance for revenge will be triggered.】
Revenge?
The first person Du Ze thought of was his ex-wife, Lin Zhenru.
But very quickly, he shook his head.
For this woman he had lived with for three years, Du Ze didn't really harbor much hatred.
He just felt he had been blind and misjudged her.
In the past, Du Ze was ordinary, but Lin Zhenru was very beautiful.
This made him always feel a sense of guilt towards his wife, thinking she had married beneath her.
So after marriage, he did his best to satisfy her.
He just didn't expect that beneath her beautiful exterior, Lin Zhenru was actually an ordinary and vulgar woman.
Acerbic and mercenary.
Every man should hope to have a woman who can share hardships with him, but unfortunately, Lin Zhenru was not that woman.
After ruling out his ex-wife, the second person Du Ze thought of was the man who had stolen his ex-wife.
Shen Tian.
Any man with a normal psyche couldn't tolerate someone cuckolding him.
Thinking of this, Du Ze used the item card while imagining Shen Tian's appearance in his mind.
But a moment later, nothing happened.
Hmm? Did he guess wrong?
Just as this thought arose, Du Ze's phone rang again.
"Hello, is this Mr. Du Ze? This is China Merchants Bank, may I bother you for a few minutes? We previously called to remind you that since you have met the upgrade conditions for your savings card, we hope you can find time to come to our bank to process the savings card upgrade service."
It was China Merchants Bank calling again, but this time Du Ze no longer considered them scammers.
"Can you tell me what kind of upgrade it is? What's the use?"
"It's like this: because your deposit has exceeded 500,000, our bank can upgrade your savings card to a Sunflower Card. After the upgrade, you will enjoy exclusive financial advisor services, priority business processing, airport VIP lounge services..."
The sweet-voiced customer service representative briefly introduced the benefits over the phone.
Aside from a bunch of useless perks, Du Ze did pay attention to one of the most important privileges.
That was increasing his single-day spending limit.
Ordinary savings cards have a daily spending limit of 200,000.
But after upgrading to a Sunflower Card, this limit can be increased to 1,000,000.
This is a must-have!
After all, reality is not like novels; in online novels, protagonists can mindlessly swipe cards and casually pay tens of millions with their phones, but this is impossible in reality.
Without upgrading his account, an ordinary person's single-day spending limit of 200,000 would be the absolute maximum.
Du Ze never had this kind of trouble before.
But now that his deposit exceeds a million, the normal person's daily limit of 200,000 would definitely not be enough for him to splurge.
This card really needed to be upgraded.
"Okay, so how do I upgrade?"
"Mr. Du Ze, you just need to bring your ID card to the nearest branch to process it. Mr. Du Ze, where are you right now? I can help you check the location of the nearest branch."
"I'm at..."
Du Ze noted down the location of the nearby China Merchants Bank branch, got up, tidied himself up, and then left to go to the bank.
However, just as he stepped out, the door to the apartment opposite his also suddenly opened.
A sexy and beautiful mature young woman, wearing yoga pants, emerged from the room.
This beautiful young woman had long hair and was tall, and her form-fitting yoga pants made her figure appear exceptionally curvaceous.
Du Ze exchanged a glance with her, his heart quickening slightly.
Suppressing the heat in his body, he quickly walked to the elevator and pressed the button.
But just then, a voice behind him rang out: "Big brother, do you live across the hall?"
Du Ze turned around and said with an awkward smile: "This is my friend's apartment; I'm staying here for a while."
"No wonder, I always thought this apartment was vacant," the beautiful young woman said with a beaming smile.
"It's nothing."
Du Ze turned back and continued to look at the elevator.
A moment later, the elevator arrived.
However, just as he was about to enter the elevator, the young woman suddenly called out to him: "Big brother, wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
Du Ze turned his head, puzzled.
"I wanted to ask, Big brother, do you know how to fix an electric meter? My power went out for some reason, and my man isn't home. Could you help me take a look?"
"Otherwise, I'll have to wait for the property management to send someone, and I don't know how long that will take."
The beautiful young woman said, looking a bit depressed.
"Uh, alright!"
To put it nicely, Du Ze was a kind person; to put it less nicely, he wasn't very good at refusing people.
Especially refusing beautiful women.
"Thank you, please come in then."
The beautiful young woman immediately reopened her door.
Leading Du Ze into the room.
With the beauty in front, Du Ze now saw her shapely figure even more clearly, and he subconsciously averted his gaze to avoid awkwardness.
However, just then, he suddenly saw a wedding photo hanging on the wall in the room.
The woman in the photo was, of course, the young woman in front of him.
But the other man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, made Du Ze freeze.
Wasn't this Shen Tian, the one who had cuckolded him?
Although Du Ze knew Shen Tian's name and that he should be very rich.
He never expected that Shen Tian's home would be right next door to the room he was borrowing.
And he already had a beautiful wife!
How could such a coincidence exist in this world?
This thought had just popped into Du Ze's mind.
The next moment, he remembered the seemingly ineffective Vengeance Card from before.
Could his encounter with Shen Tian's wife be the effect of the Vengeance Card?
