The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 3

Ma Yunteng smacked his lips. It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited; this was money!

I counted carefully, and there are seven zeros after the five! A genuine fifty million!

[Ding: New player quest issued.]

[Task Description: Considering the host's experience as a seasoned user, the matter of tipping female streamers will be temporarily waived. The host is tasked with squandering 50 million within one day. No further requirements, feel free to do as you please!]

[Mission Timeframe: Within 24 hours.]

[Task successful: You have received a newbie gift pack.]

[Task failed: No penalty. The system's in a good mood today, after all.]

Forehead!

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Ma Yunteng was immediately speechless.

If you're in a good mood, you won't be punished, but what about when you're in a bad mood...?

Could the system be a girl?!

"It's alright, it's only fifty million! Small change! Making money is hard, but spending it is not! From today onwards, I'm a man with small goals! I'm running low on cigarettes, I'll go buy a pack!"

Ma Yunteng walked straight out of the hospital. He suddenly realized that his back pain and leg soreness were gone. Hey, the morning breeze was refreshing!

"This system is really high-tech; it healed my injuries so quickly! Woo~ Now I feel so free!"

After leaving the hospital, Ma Yunteng hailed a taxi. Just kidding, have you ever seen a super-rich person squeeze onto a bus?

After getting into the rental car, Ma Yunteng had driven less than thirty meters when he suddenly asked the driver to stop. He casually took out his phone, scanned a QR code, and then got out of the car under the driver's bewildered gaze.

Ten yuan for a twenty-meter ride.

Hmm...a good deal!

"Is he crazy? What happened to him at such a young age? What a pity!" The driver shook his head as he watched Ma Yunteng walk away.

[Ding: Sympathy from the taxi driver +10]

The system sensitively recorded the driver's emotional changes.

Ma Yunteng didn't pay attention to these things and strolled over to a small shop.

"Young man, what kind of cigarettes do you want?" the shopkeeper asked.

Or is it a purple tree? NO NO NO!

I'm a big shot now, though I'm still far from being the biggest tycoon in the universe. But at least I've earned the title of a tycoon. Wouldn't it be beneath me to smoke cigarettes that cost eight yuan a pack? A tycoon should act like a tycoon. Putting aside the issue of being ruthless, at least when it comes to smoking, I can't afford to smoke cheap cigarettes that cost eight yuan a pack anymore!

So, Ma Yunteng waved his hand:

"Boss, give me a box of Double Happiness cigarettes!"

...Hmm, these cigarettes are expensive, eight yuan and fifty cents a pack!

"I strongly despise the host! The host's actions are truly beneath the dignity of a tycoon!" the system complained discontentedly.

"Disdain is ineffective." Ma Yunteng slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "What do you know? In China, being low-key is the most awesome way to show off. Don't underestimate me just because you're not well-educated. I'm not lying to you. I've been habitually low-key for many years. It's a low-key trait that's ingrained in my bones. Changing it isn't that easy!"

"That's not what you call being low-key!"

"Smoking an 8.5 yuan cigarette and you're not being modest?"

"You call this being poor!"

"—!"

After buying the cigarettes, Ma Yunteng realized that this was probably the last time he would ever keep a low profile. After all, with the system at his fingertips, he was invincible. Why would he use the guise of a super-rich tycoon to do something low-key? Even if he wanted to, the system wouldn't allow it.

"I'd better think carefully about how to spend this fifty million. After all, it's fifty million. Even if I win the lottery, I might not have that much money..."

Yes! Buy lottery tickets.

He was just thinking about how to transfer some money home. His parents had worked very hard for him, and he planned to transfer five million yuan home first. However, he didn't know how to explain it to his parents. After all, his parents were ordinary people, and if he transferred so much money at once, they would definitely question where the money came from. If he told them that he had won five million yuan in the lottery, he could put their minds at ease!

"Although I've never won the lottery before, I'm sure I'll win this time if I buy all the numbers!"

...

With that in mind, I took a taxi directly to the Jiangnan City Double Color Ball Lottery Center.

"Sir, I heard you're going to buy all the lottery tickets for this round, is that right?" Ma Yunteng, wearing a black hood, sat in the VIP reception room of the lottery center, opposite a very beautiful customer manager.

"That's right, I'll buy them all!"

"This... please wait a moment!"

[Ding: Surprise from the account manager +100]

The account manager stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She was the general manager of the Jiangnan City Double Color Ball Lottery Center, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation in all her years of work. She picked up a pen and began to calculate rapidly on a piece of scrap paper.

"Theoretically, the probability of winning the first prize in the Double Color Ball lottery is 1/17,721,088, and the probability of winning the second prize is 1/1,107,568. The possible combinations are: (33*32*31*30*29*28)/(1*2*3*4*5*6)*16 = 17,721,088 combinations * 2 yuan/combination = 35,442,176 yuan. If you buy all the tickets, it would cost over 35 million yuan!"

"Swipe your card!"

Ma Yunteng took out a black bank card from his pocket. He had already asked the system to transfer 50 million yuan from WeChat to the bank card. He didn't know anything about bank limits or anything like that, but the system had already done the transfer for him.

"Yes, sir! The lottery draw will be at 10 p.m. tonight!" The pretty female manager politely opened the door for Ma Yunteng and gestured for him to enter.
