3: Chapter 3: Starting to Make Money

Did the system just say that reaching Level 2 would get me 100 million huaxia coin?

Li Luo didn't care about other features for the moment; right now, he only cared about money.

"System: Currently, the system can help the Host by providing a cashback of 1—100 times the original amount after each successful order payment."

"What... cashback?"

"Holy crap, so if I have a 20 huaxia coin order, wouldn't that be a minimum of 20 huaxia coin and a maximum of 2,000?"

"System: The Host understands correctly."

Li Luo was ecstatic; if anyone were in the car right now, they would definitely notice the corners of Li Luo's mouth curling up so high they were almost splitting.

"System: The Host must remember that this is a five-star system. If any passenger is dissatisfied with your service and gives a bad review, the system will deduct half of the total amount earned that day as a penalty."

Li Luo was stunned on the spot. There's a pitfall like this?

Isn't that the same as getting a deduction for a bad review when delivering food? This system of yours is no good!

Li Luo complained in his mind, 'How stingy.'

"System: The Host does not need to complain in his mind; the system knows the Host's thoughts perfectly well."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo awkwardly scratched his nose.

"System: The Host only needs to maintain a good, enthusiastic service attitude toward passengers, and they will naturally give five-star ratings. Of course, for the occasional picky customer who gives a bad review, the system will handle it at its discretion. For a brand-new tomorrow, work hard, you piece of scum... oh, I mean, young man."

Li Luo: ...

"System, I have one last question."

"System: Please speak, Host."

"Do passengers who call me directly to hail the car count as a five-star review? Since they didn't place the order through the app, I need to be clear about this."

"System: Yes, they do."

"As long as they count, then it looks like I need to take good care of junior Zhi Xia. She's a big client!"

Arriving at Golden Eagle Plaza, a man and a woman got in.

"Hello, are you the customer with the phone number ending in 3261?"

"Yes, we are."

"Please fasten your seatbelts, we are departing."

15 minutes later.

"Hello, please exit from the right door. Please be careful when opening the door and watch out for oncoming traffic."

The man glanced at him.

"Driver, you're really attentive. There aren't many attentive drivers like you these days."

Li Luo smiled.

"If you feel the service was good, please give me a five-star review, brother."

"Alright, no problem. I'll definitely give you a five-star review."

"Goodbye, brother. Stay safe on the road."

After waiting a while, he saw the platform display a five-star review. Li Luo was in a great mood. Getting a five-star review on his first order with the system was a great start!

"Ding."

Li Luo picked up his phone and saw a message.

[Your China Construction Bank account 7320 received a deposit of 935 huaxia coin at 10:18. The available balance is: 1387 huaxia coin.]

Hmm, 935?

The order just now earned 17 huaxia coin. Did it multiply by 55 times?

Although he knew the system gave cashback, Li Luo was still somewhat skeptical until he saw it with his own eyes.

Now that he had seen the deposit notification with his own eyes, his excitement exploded.

Holy crap.

If he was lucky, he could make 10,000 a day! That's 3 million a month, and 300 million a year!

Wait, why does something feel wrong? Oh well, never mind. I'm just a ride-hailing car driver making hundreds of millions a year.

Heh heh heh...

And that's just with the system before upgrading.

If it upgrades, I'll really take off!

Better hurry up and take orders, strive for ten five-star reviews, in case there's a chance to trigger a small surprise.

A real-time order has been received for you. Please head to Confucius Temple Road to pick up the passenger.

Oh, someone placed an order. Time to get to work.

On the road.

"System, are you there?"

"System: Please speak, Host."

Li Luo quickly said.

"If I forget how many five-star reviews I have, can you remind me?"

"System: The Host's personal information will display it."

Suddenly, a brilliant blue square screen appeared before his eyes, showing his specific personal information on the side.

[Name: Li Luo]

[Age: 27]

[Height: 1.75m]

[Weight: 75kg]

[Appearance: 65] [100% Mechanism]

[Strength: 8, Spirit: 7, Endurance: 7, Physique: 9] Note: The standard for a normal adult is 10. Below 5 increases the risk of developing physical illnesses.

[Assets: 1387 huaxia coin]

[Positive Reviews: 1/100] System Upgrade. Completed Today: 1/10

...

Looking at the exquisite virtual panel that appeared in front of him, Li Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

Everything is below standard.

Is my appearance only 65? Am I that ugly?

Looks like the readers must be better-looking than me, otherwise why would the system choose me?

Forget it, I have a system now, appearance isn't that important anymore. Completing the daily target of ten is the priority.

"Please be careful when opening the door, stay safe. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star review."

After dropping off the passenger who had just exited, Li Luo smiled and said to the middle-aged woman in front of him.

The middle-aged woman took her things and left without a word. He didn't know if she was pretending not to hear him, but it looked like that review was hanging in the balance.

Forget it, as long as she doesn't give a bad review, I'll be grateful.

Getting back into the car, he picked up his phone to check the text message. The last order was 31 yuan, but the cashback wasn't very ideal.

[Your China Construction Bank account 7320 received a deposit of 248 huaxia coin at 12:20. The available balance is: 1635 huaxia coin.]

It's noon. Time to go stir-fry a few dishes and celebrate the system's arrival, helping a small, insignificant person like me fulfill the dream of becoming a big tycoon.

Li Luo drove to a slightly narrower alley.

This Hu's Stir-fry located in the alley was a place Shen Lin had brought him to before. Even though the shop was small, the food tasted really good.

After parking the car.

"Is the boss here? I'd like to order a few dishes."

"Coming, coming! How many, Handsome Guy?"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, wearing a black apron, walked over.

"Just me."

"Alright, Handsome Guy, take a look and see what you'd like to eat," the restaurant owner asked.

Li Luo looked into the freezer for a while.

"I'll have the preserved vegetable and pork intestines, dry-pot cabbage, and loofah egg soup. Just these three."

"Alright, Handsome Guy, please have a seat for a moment."

After speaking, the restaurant owner turned around to grab the ingredients from the freezer, intending to get busy in the kitchen.

Li Luo glanced at the freezer again and saw a plump, large crucian carp.

"Hey, Boss."

"What is it, Handsome Guy?" the restaurant owner asked in confusion.

"Is this crucian carp fresh?"

"Of course it's fresh. If it's not fresh, you don't have to pay."

Why did that sound like there was a hidden meaning?

"Then I'll take the crucian carp."

"Alright, alright." Seeing this, the restaurant owner picked up the plate of fish. He was naturally happy when someone ordered extra food.

Li Luo noticed that in these kinds of small shops, it seemed like the owner acted as both the Waiter and the chef.

Occasionally, when it was busy, the boss's wife would come to help with odd jobs.

While waiting for the food, Li Luo also thought about his future plans.

Now that he had the system, the next step was to make money.

At the end of the day, it's still a world of money.

As long as a man has money, he has confidence. Everything else, like love, is bullshit.

It's all built on a foundation of money.

Money is a man's courage. In this era where money is supreme, there's nothing he can't accomplish.

Not enough, is it?

Then add some more.
