Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

Miduo witnessed the entire process as Qi Sheng went from looking at cars to swiping his card, all in less than half an hour.

It was quicker than her usual shopping trip for a bag.

’That’s 5.5 million!’

Seeing the receipt spit out by the POS machine, Miduo was stunned all over again.

Ever since meeting Qi Sheng, she had been in a constant state of shock.

First, there was the 12 million mansion. Then, he gifted Tan Hua a 1.7 million watch and a Cayenne.

And now, right before her very eyes, he had spent 5.5 million on a Ferrari 488 Pista.

Having acquired the first Ferrari of his life, Qi Sheng was naturally in a wonderful mood.

Of course, the delivery ceremony was a grand affair.

There were flowers, balloons—the works.

After blocking his parents and relatives, Qi Sheng posted on his Moments, flexing hard.

Seeing the flood of ”Awesome!” and ”Badass!” comments, Qi Sheng felt utterly satisfied.

Qi Sheng never denied that he was, at heart, a man of worldly desires.

Even now that he was rich, all he wanted was to be happy.

Supercar, luxury watch, mansion, girlfriend—he now had them all.

Next, it was time to think about building his own business.

[Detected Host’s strong desire to start a business. Randomly selecting an industry for you...]

[Ding! Selection successful. Congratulations on receiving the Startup Support Grand Gift Pack for the food and beverage industry!]

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected the system to be so considerate.

’It makes sense when you think about it.’

’If he, a god-tier tycoon, failed in his first business venture, it would be a huge embarrassment for the system.’

Without a second thought, Qi Sheng opened the Startup Support Grand Gift Pack.

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving the Hot Pot Base Recipe (System-Empowered Version)!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving a Special Store Renovation Fund: 25,000,000!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving a 99-year lease for No. 1120b, 8 Zhongshamao Street (Annual rent: 25,000,000)!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving 5x Ordinary Level Talent Recruitment Cards!]

’Damn, the gift pack only gives four things?’

At a loss for words, Qi Sheng started examining them one by one.

The first reward was the Hot Pot Base Recipe.

Anything from the system was bound to be extraordinary.

Any base made according to the recipe would receive a dual buff: Deliciousness +100% and Spiciness +100%.

What was particularly interesting was the description for the System-Empowered Version—it was incredibly overbearing and defied all logic.

Only hot pot restaurants under Qi Sheng’s name would enjoy these two buffs.

Even if someone else made the base using a leaked recipe, it would be impossible for them to replicate the same flavor and spiciness as the restaurants under his name.

”Badass!”

After reading it, Qi Sheng had to admit he was impressed by the system’s move.

’This is a heavily modded version of system empowerment, the kind others couldn’t even dream of.’

Seeing the 25 million for the special store renovation fund, Qi Sheng was truly at a loss for words.

Even a Rolls-Royce showroom probably wouldn’t have a renovation budget that high.

As for the 99-year lease for No. 1120b, 8 Zhongshamao Street, it left Qi Sheng completely dumbfounded.

For many Chengdu locals, the name Guangdong Association Hall was quite well-known.

It was one of the few well-preserved historical buildings still standing in Chengdu.

It wasn’t until 2022 that this historical building was leased by the LV Group.

After being converted into a restaurant, the prices were astronomically high.

It became the pinnacle of Chengdu’s restaurant scene, yet getting a table was still nearly impossible.

Without sufficient connections and immense financial power, one couldn’t even dream of leasing such a historical building.

But the system just went ahead and produced a 99-year contract.

And the fact that the rent would never increase was just insane.

Calling it a 99-year contract wasn’t much different from just gifting it to Qi Sheng.

All he had to do was pay 25 million in rent each year.

As for the final reward, the five Ordinary Level Talent Recruitment Cards, it was better than nothing.

According to the prices in the system’s talent pool, one Ordinary Level Talent Recruitment Card cost 1 million.

Since he didn’t have to spend his own money, it was like he’d gotten 5 million from the system for free.

Qi Sheng was quite satisfied with this round of benefits.

He happened to be taking Miduo back to the International Gold Center anyway, so he could swing by and check out the storefront the system had given him.

...

In the car, Miduo listlessly answered an interrogation from her husband.

Although she explained that she’d had a great time with her colleagues yesterday and had slept over at one of their houses after drinking too much, the man she lived with was extremely suspicious.

He would even secretly follow her, terrified she was getting involved with other men.

Today, she hadn’t gone to the store in the morning, and he had caught her red-handed.

Although Xu Ying and the others had helped explain that she couldn’t hold her liquor and had just overslept at Tan Hua’s house, it was now almost three o’clock, and Miduo still hadn’t shown up at the store.

Forget her husband, even Tan Hua was getting a little suspicious.

Only Xu Ying knew the truth: Miduo had taken a bullet for her.

Given his personality, he would never have passed up such a golden opportunity for intimate contact with a beautiful young woman.

It was a good thing Qi Sheng didn’t know, or he would have definitely given Xu Ying a piece of his mind.

In reality, Miduo had made the first move; he was the victim.

When Miduo arrived at the store and saw her husband sitting on the sofa with a dark expression, she felt surprisingly calm.

”Let’s talk outside.”

Miduo didn’t want to become a spectacle for her colleagues.

But she had forgotten just how explosive a man’s pent-up emotions could be.

”I can understand you drank too much last night, but there’s no way you just woke up now, right?”

Li Chengqian looked at Miduo’s rosy complexion and instinctively sensed something was wrong.

He had been on a business trip recently, but it wasn’t like they hadn’t video-chatted.

Back then, she’d even had a few pimples on her face.

But now? Not only was her complexion rosy...

...there wasn’t a single trace of a pimple on her fair skin.

As a man, he had an almost primal premonition.

Some bastard had definitely gotten to his wife.

”I woke up at noon, then went to the LV store next door to discuss our inventory situation. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the manager there.”

Before she came, Miduo had specifically given a heads-up to the manager of the LV store over in Taikoo Li.

The two were on good terms and would occasionally go shopping together, so she wasn’t afraid of Li Chengqian checking up on her.

”Miduo, it’s been five years since we got married. I hope you’ll cherish this family.”

Looking at his beautiful wife, who had become even more radiant after being ”nourished,” Li Chengqian felt a pain in his heart as if it were being cut by a knife.

Perhaps he was too sensitive, but even if another man so much as glanced at Miduo, he would become incredibly agitated.

If he saw Miduo smile at another man, he would have the urge to beat the guy up.

The two of them had fought over this issue many times.

As the manager of an LV store, it was impossible for Miduo to avoid interacting with wealthy male clients.

Even normal social interactions would send Li Chengqian into a jealous rage.

At first, Miduo could still console herself.

’This is just Li Chengqian’s way of showing he values and loves me.’

But not only did Li Chengqian fail to restrain himself, his desire for control grew stronger and stronger.

Whenever she went out to a gathering, she had to report it to him.

Otherwise, he would come to the store and cause a huge scene.

Previously, Miduo’s performance had been outstanding.

The General Manager for the Greater China Region had even seriously considered promoting her to Regional Manager for the Southwest Region.

Later, because Li Chengqian frequently came to the store to cause trouble, it led to numerous customer complaints.

And so, Miduo’s chance for a promotion went down the drain.

If it weren’t for her exceptional management skills...

...Li Chengqian would have cost her even this store manager position.

Aside from Xu Ying and Tan Hua, who had little ambition of their own these days, every other sales associate was coveting her position.

Thinking about her own broken home, Miduo felt increasingly weary.

She couldn’t help but think of Qi Sheng.

Lying in Qi Sheng’s arms last night, she had felt an unprecedented sense of peace that she still longed for.

’Unfortunately, Qi Sheng is destined to be just a ray of unattainable moonlight shining into my heart, someone I can never openly possess.’
