1: Chapter 1: 100 Million Yuan in Initial Spending Rebates

September had arrived, and although the sweltering heat of summer had passed, the air remained stifling.

On a slow, old-fashioned green train departing from Rongcheng and approaching Jinghai City.

An Xin rested his chin on his hand, looking out the window and sighing inwardly.

Nearly a day had passed since his rebirth, and he had finally accepted the fact that he had returned from the age of thirty—the age of standing firm—back to eighteen.

Actually, there was nothing he couldn't accept about it.

In his previous life, he had passed thirty without achieving anything; he had no car, no house, and no wife—he was practically a "three-no" product.

The reason for his rebirth was that he had stayed up late for a week straight and ended up dying suddenly in his cheap rented room.

Reflecting on his mediocre past.

Having finally received a chance to be remade, An Xin secretly swore that in this life, he would absolutely live a life worth living.

But...

What were the winning numbers for the next lottery?

When was the next big internet trend coming?

And how was he supposed to earn his first pot of gold?

Damn, this is hard!

Why do I feel like a loser? Even after being reborn, I still don't know how to do anything!

An Xin, who had already started dreaming of being a tycoon, suddenly woke up, his expression as ugly as if he’d eaten feces.

Wait, where's the system?

Isn't it said that a system is the standard configuration for rebirth?

Could it be that novels are all lies?

"System, brother, are you there?" An Xin shouted in his heart, unwilling to give up.

[Ding! Tycoon System activated. 24-hour consumption cashback mission triggered. Consumption limit: 100 million.]

What is this?

Just as An Xin finished shouting, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

This caught An Xin off guard, and he was stunned for a moment.

When he finally came to his senses, his heart couldn't help but thump wildly.

But he forced himself to calm down, fearing that he had just had an auditory hallucination and would end up disappointed.

So, he tried to communicate with the system again.

But after calling for a long time, the system didn't respond at all.

"Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge. Coming through, please pull your legs in!"

Just then, a female attendant pushed a snack cart from afar, approaching him.

Seeing this, An Xin's eyes lit up instantly.

Didn't it say consumption cashback? Why not just test it and find out?

So he called out to the attendant, "Hello, may I have a bottle of mineral water, please?"

"Sure, the mineral water is five yuan!"

Damn, what a rip-off. Mineral water that costs one yuan outside is sold for five yuan on the train. Why don't they just go rob someone!

Complaining inwardly, An Xin still quickly paid the money.

[You have spent 5 yuan. Cashback: 10 yuan. Remaining consumption limit: 99,999,995 yuan.]

The system's voice sounded again, like a heavenly melody striking heavily on An Xin's heart.

At the same time, An Xin's phone received a text message confirming the deposit.

Seeing this, An Xin couldn't help but become excited.

There really is a system! It's really my turn to take off, An Xin!

"Right, I remember the system seemed to have a limit; the consumption cashback time is only 24 hours, and the consumption limit is only 100 million."

"And I currently have a total of 5,000 yuan from my parents for this semester's living expenses. That means I need to use this 5,000 yuan to continuously generate cashbacks within 24 hours and ultimately buy things worth 100 million."

"Although the time is only 24 hours, it doesn't seem hard to operate. Can't I even spend money? I'm not that much of a loser!"

Having figured everything out, An Xin felt enlightened.

His mood calmed down as well.

Anyway, there's no rush now; after all, he's still on the train, and there's nothing really to spend money on.

Should he go to the attendant and say he wants to buy everything on the train?

Don't be silly, how much cash back would that get?

Besides, what to do with all those bits and pieces after buying them is also a problem.

So, everything will wait until he gets off the train. In any case, it's only about half an hour until the train arrives.

Furthermore... furthermore... furthermore...

Just like that, the train swayed along for another half an hour.

Finally, it arrived at its final destination—Jinghai Railway Station.

Then, An Xin got off the train empty-handed.

As for his luggage, he naturally threw it away.

Anyway, there wasn't anything valuable, just some clothes and quilts; he could just buy more.

After coming out of the railway station.

An Xin hailed a taxi directly and asked the driver to take him to the nearest shopping mall.

Jinghai City is a third-tier prefecture-level city; although it is not as prosperous as first-tier cities, it is not too backward either.

The city is full of high-rise buildings, and most of the things one needs are available.

An Xin spent four years in college in this city in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with it.

Watching the route, which should have been a two-kilometer, ten-minute, ten-yuan ride, being dragged out by the driver for half an hour, resulting in a meter reading of 34 yuan.

As An Xin got out of the car, he looked at the driver playfully and said, "Sir, do you really think I don't know the roads in Jinghai?"

"Uh, I..." The driver was choked up and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, An Xin couldn't help but laugh and paid the money anyway.

[You have spent 34 yuan. Cashback: 68 yuan. Remaining consumption limit: 99,999,961 yuan.]

Although the driver was unscrupulous, since he made money and so did An Xin, An Xin couldn't be bothered to argue too much with him.

Entering the mall, An Xin headed straight for the Apple store.

The phone he was using was still a generic Android phone.

From his future perspective, it was really laggy.

So, taking advantage of the consumption cashback, he decided to get himself a new phone first.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

As soon as An Xin entered the store, an Apple employee came to greet him.

"How much is the latest top-spec Apple phone?" An Xin asked directly.

"Currently, our latest model is the Apple 6. The top-spec version is 128GB and is priced at 6,888 yuan."

6,888 yuan?

Not enough money!

An Xin said calmly, "I also want the latest top-spec tablet. How much is that?"

The clerk said, "For the tablet, it's 4,999 yuan."

That's perfect!

"Okay, get me a computer too, and then let's swipe the card!"

An Xin waved his hand.

Soon, the clerk packed everything up and came to An Xin with the POS machine.

"Sir, the total is 27,886 yuan."

An Xin waved his hand: "Swipe it in three transactions. Swipe for the tablet first!"

"Ah!" The clerk was visibly stunned, confused by An Xin's actions.

Ahem...

Seeing this, An Xin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But there was no other way. Since he didn't have the money to pay in one go, he could only get cashbacks transaction by transaction.

[You have spent 4,999 yuan. Cashback: 9,998 yuan.]

[You have spent 6,888 yuan. Cashback: 13,776 yuan.]

[You have spent 15,999 yuan. Cashback: 31,998 yuan.]

With the clerk looking at him with a strange expression, An Xin walked out of the Apple store empty-handed.

He had already swapped his SIM card into the new phone, while the tablet and computer were to be delivered to his school by the clerk.

After all, he still had to go spend money; he couldn't be carrying a bunch of things in his hands!

Afterward, he started sweeping through the mall.

Clothes, shoes—he needed to change the somewhat immature and outdated outfit of a high school student that he was still wearing.

Hmm... and while he was at it, spend a few thousand to have a stylist give him a makeover.

Must say, clothes make the man.

After all that tidying up, An Xin almost didn't recognize the person in the mirror as himself.

As expected of you, An Xin, you're devastatingly handsome.

Finally, looking at the hundred thousand plus yuan now sitting in his bank card, An Xin felt that consumption was still too slow.

It seems he had to buy some luxury goods.

The saying goes, "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches."

Although I don't even have a car right now, there's no harm in buying two watches to play with first.
