Chapter 600 [Extra Chapter] The Daily Life of a Billionaire Who Was Opened the Wrong Way

Snowflakes were drifting faintly outside the window. Chen Guiliang sat motionless inside the room, his eyes fixed on the empty space in front of him.

He was hallucinating.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest 'The Road to Tycoon - Ultimate'. Rewards are being calculated. ???? @##￥%￥……System malfunction detected. The host has been the world's richest person for five consecutive years. Quest rewards are being distributed. @#%￥……&……%&#￥￥????"

"System repair in progress..."

"System repair complete... Reincarnated individual detected... Congratulations, host, on binding with the 'Reboot Life' system..."

"Have you ever had a nightmare like this? Dreaming that you're in an exam hall, and you can't answer a single question. Activating the quest 'I know how to do this'..."

"Task Description: You are sitting in the mid-term math exam room for the first semester of your senior year. Please make sure you get a score of 90 or above in this subject. Task Reward: 10 points. Penalty for Failure: 10 points will be deducted. Hint: You will have a lot of bad luck while your score is negative."

Chen Guiliang walked onto the villa's balcony, breathing in the cold, dry air, trying to clear his head a little.

Even with my eyes closed, there's still a "visual" interface in my mind.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and stood on the balcony, puffing away.

This broken system seems to be 20 years and 2 months late.

Name: Chen Guiliang (Reborn)
Sex: Male
age:?
Attributes: Physical ability? Intelligence? Comprehension? Health? Charisma?
Profession:?
Skill:?

title:?
integral:???
Apart from the name and gender, it's all question marks.

This system seems to have crashed due to a conflict with reality, then automatically repaired itself and started running again with a bunch of bugs.

Chen Guiliang found himself unable to refuse the task; the only option in front of him was "Submit Now".

Next to "Submit Now" is a countdown timer; the task will be automatically submitted when the time is up.

Instead of clicking "Submit Now," he looked at the "Points Mall" at the bottom of the screen.

The online store is grayed out and cannot be selected.

Chen Guiliang took out his phone and called his high school: "Hello Principal Yuan, this is Chen Guiliang... I'd like to donate 500 million yuan to my alma mater... Giving back to my alma mater is the right thing to do... Could you please help me with something? Could you find the midterm exam questions from the first semester of 04? Yes, I need them urgently, within two and a half hours... No problem, it's okay if you can't find them. If you can, please send me the photos immediately... Oh, and please also send me the student ID number I filled in for the exam..."

Chaos has erupted at the school; who knows if they can even find the midterm exam papers from 20 years ago?

Logically, it should be possible, but reality is usually unreasonable.

With only 18 minutes left in the countdown, Principal Yuan sent over all the midterm exam papers.

Chen Guiliang immediately printed out the math test paper and filled in his name, class, student ID, and other information.

He then took out his phone, opened the AI ​​app, and started with the fill-in-the-blank questions—leaving the multiple-choice questions for last, because he didn't have a machine-readable answer sheet and who knew if he could get any points for them.

With the help of AI, Chen Guiliang quickly finished the math test.

Even without the machine-readable answer sheet, and unable to score on the multiple-choice questions, you will still definitely score over 90 points to complete the task.

The countdown has ended, and the task status has changed to "awaiting settlement".

There was also a string of question marks next to it.

After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Guiliang realized that "waiting for settlement" probably meant waiting for the teacher to grade the paper.

He continued to study the system, but found there wasn't much to study.

The next day, Chen Guiliang went to the group's headquarters as usual and worked in the chairman's office all day.

In the afternoon, he finally received the system results.

"【Path to Academic Excellence】Beginner Task 【I Know How to Solve This Question】Failed, 10 points deducted. Your remaining points are ????"

"You can continue to choose 'The Path to Academic Excellence' as the main storyline, or you can choose other main storylines..."

Chen Guiliang glanced at the other main storylines: the Road to Wealth (gray), the Road to Officialdom, the Road to Culture and Entertainment, the Road to Sports, the Road to Warriors...

The path to wealth is grayed out and cannot be selected; it's probably currently in a bugged state.

Chen Guiliang did not make any choice, but instead thought about why the task failed when he knew how to do it, and analyzed the task judgment mechanism of the system.

First, the timeline of this broken system is from when he was just reborn, which is 20 years ago.

Secondly, based on the "waiting for settlement" time (one day), it can be inferred that the two timelines are progressing at the same speed.

Third, it's impossible to determine whether current effort (using AI to complete the test) will affect the assessment results from 20 years ago. While current answers might be helpful, the final assessment is based on the teacher's grading.

Chen Guiliang was satisfied with his current situation and didn't want anything to go wrong, so he decided to ignore this broken system.

I went home in the evening.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Guiliang received a call from his cousin Feng Tao: "Guiliang, isn't Tianjun (his cousin) about to graduate? I hope he can come back to our hometown to help out and get familiar with my business as soon as possible. Although the family business isn't big, it's still a stable enterprise. Even if he doesn't come home, it would be good for him to work at your company. But he insists on doing some kind of scientific research, the kind that's purely theoretical... I can't persuade him no matter what I do..."

"Side quest triggered... Side story system activated..."

This side quest involves helping your uncle persuade your younger cousin to give up his research career.

You can choose whether or not to accept the side quest; it's not mandatory for him to accept it.

Chen Guiliang directly refused and instead advised his uncle: "Forced love is never sweet. Young people should be encouraged to have dreams. If you force him to give up his ideals and listen to his parents, who knows what kind of trouble it will end up in."

Feng Tao sighed and asked Chen Guiliang if he could help his cousin get a good school and a good supervisor when he takes the postgraduate entrance exam.

Chen Guiliang stared at the mission interface and found that no side missions were triggered this time.

Are side quests triggered randomly?

Is there a limit to the number of times it can be triggered per day or per month?

I don't understand.

Chen Guiliang said, "Don't rush, let me call him and talk to him first."

Feng Tao expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Back home, Chen Guiliang spent time with his wife and children, but he was always distracted, constantly thinking about the buggy and broken system.

What system would a world's richest person need?
It would be ridiculous if the punishment were unbearable for him if the mission failed.

But I just can't help thinking about it!

Finally, Chen Guiliang squatted on the toilet and brought up the system interface again.

The path to wealth is not selectable; there's a bug.

A career in officialdom... wouldn't be in line with his status as the richest man.

Sports, soldiers, etc., you can't just go and become an athlete or enlist in the army now, can you?

There's even a "lay-down path" option.

Without much thought, Chen Guiliang chose the main storyline of "The Road to Entertainment".

"You've dreamed of becoming a writer since you were little, and now an opportunity is presented to you... Trigger the quest [New Concept Writing Competition - Preliminary Round]."

"Task Description: Please purchase at least one copy of 'Mengya' magazine, attach the entry page, and submit your first draft to the organizing committee. If approved, you will receive 10 points. Penalty for failure: 10 points will be deducted. Hint: You will experience a series of bad luck while your score is negative."

Chen Guiliang sat on the toilet, looking at the "Submit Now", "???" and "Task Countdown" on the interface.

After thinking for a moment, he clicked "Submit Now." The task status then changed to "Pending Settlement," the countdown disappeared, but the "???" remained.

Based on the timeline from 20 years ago, if I do nothing now, it will take one or two months to pass the preliminary round and complete the task.

Are we just going to wait here like idiots?

Chen Guiliang couldn't resist clicking the "???" button, and immediately received a system notification: "Would you like to spend points to accelerate time? ￥%￥@#￥@￥%￥&*……System malfunction detected……System repair complete……Each day of acceleration costs 1 point. Accelerate?"

Chen Guiliang checked his points, which were still displayed as a string of question marks.

accelerate!
A total of over 50 points were deducted, and the system notification appeared again: "Congratulations on completing the [Way of Culture and Entertainment] beginner task [New Concept Writing Competition - Preliminary Round], rewarding you with 10 points."

Damn it, the time acceleration cost me over 50 points, but the task reward was only 10 points.

But Chen Guiliang came to a conclusion: the things he had done in the past 20 years could be directly submitted as a task!
"Congratulations on completing the newbie missions. You are rewarded with a Newbie Gift Pack*1. You have successfully unlocked the Points Shop."

Any unexpected gains?

Chen Guiliang opened the newbie gift pack, and a rapidly spinning roulette wheel appeared.

He silently wished for it to stop, and the pointer stopped at "100 RMB".

Depend on!
Chen Guiliang looked at the other rewards on the roulette wheel; money was the last thing he needed to get.

But there are still two more chances.

Spin the wheel again, and the pointer stops at "random attribute point +1".

"Attribute point rewards are being randomly distributed... Comprehension +1. Your current Comprehension value is ???#￥#%&*%￥... System malfunction detected... System repair in progress..."

What is this mess?

This lousy system keeps malfunctioning; it's basically running with a bunch of bugs.

After gaining +1 to his comprehension, Chen Guiliang felt that he hadn't changed much.

He doesn't want any enlightenment now, he just wants health or physical fitness—he's financially independent in middle age, and all he wants is to be healthier and live longer.

There will be one last chance to win a new player gift pack.

Chen Guiliang spun the roulette wheel again, and the pointer stopped at "Geography Knowledge - High School".

Suddenly, Chen Guiliang felt a wave of dizziness, as if he had been struck by a mysterious force. Many forgotten high school geography facts quickly surfaced in his mind.

Sigh, as expected of a newbie pack, it's hard to get what you want from it.

Chen Guiliang then went to browse the newly opened system store. He had initially come with a playful attitude, but he was soon shocked and his breathing became rapid.

He looked down on the first few pages of the online store, but the further he flipped through, the more outrageous it became.

Aircraft carriers can be bought... but it requires a huge amount of points, and it's currently in a grayed-out state and cannot be purchased.

There are also all sorts of pills, such as elixirs that increase lifespan.

According to the description of the elixir, this so-called increase in lifespan is achieved by greatly enhancing the body's immunity within a certain future period, so that even those with late-stage cancer will not die. The specific period depends on the quality of the elixir, and there are five grades: 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years.

Each pill from a different year can only be taken once; repeated use will be ineffective.

Currently, only 1-year terms are available for purchase; all other years are grayed out and cannot be selected.

Even a one-year longevity drug costs more than an aircraft carrier!

There are also all sorts of scientific blueprints...

Chen Guiliang glanced at his points, which were displayed as ???, and then looked at the pill that could increase lifespan by one year, priced at 99999.

My own points? Does this mean an unlimited number, or is it a system malfunction preventing it from displaying correctly?

If you buy one longevity pill for your grandmother to take now, three possible outcomes:

First, you can use points indefinitely, so buying longevity medicine is as easy as buying cabbage.

Second, I don't have enough points to make a purchase.

Third, you can buy it. However, after purchasing, your actual points will be reduced to a very small amount. The margin for error is greatly reduced.

After much deliberation, Chen Guiliang still didn't dare to buy it. He figured he could wait until his grandmother was critically ill before buying it.

Looking at the dazzling array of "goods," Chen Guiliang was immediately motivated.

He checked his main quest, which had changed to "New Concept Competition - Semi-Finals".

Just as Chen Guiliang was trying to speed things up and finish the task quickly, Bian Guanyue's voice came from outside the toilet: "You've been squatting for over 40 minutes? Did you eat something bad?"

"I'm thinking about the problem, I'll be right out," Chen Guiliang said.

Just then, the system notification appeared again.

"You're in your adolescence, hormones are raging, it seems you need a girlfriend. Or rather, love? Start the side quest 'Class Beauty's Favor'..."

Chen Guiliang carefully recalled that the side quest about his uncle that evening was displayed in white, while the "Class Beauty's Favorability" quest was displayed in gold. Did this mean that side quests also had different levels?

Also, why wasn't it triggered before entering the toilet?
Is it because completing the main beginner quests is required to trigger the golden side quest?

Submit now.

"Congratulations on completing the [Class Beauty's Favor] quest, rewarding you with 5 points. This triggers the follow-up quest [First Intimate Contact]..."

The first intimate contact mentioned here refers to a hug or kiss that takes place voluntarily.

Submit now.

"Congratulations on completing the [First Intimate Contact], rewarding you with 5 points. This triggers the follow-up quest [The Fusion of Spirit and Desire]."

Submit now.

"Congratulations on completing [The Fusion of Spirit and Desire], reward: 5 points. End of the first stage of this side quest: You're incredibly fast at picking up girls, going from first meeting to sleeping together in a minute. System rating: SSS, reward settlement: %￥@%%&**@#... System malfunction detected... System repair in progress..."

Damn it, here we go again.

"Your stage task rating is SSS, with an additional 30 points. You have gained 1 free attribute point. Please select."

Without a second thought, Chen Guiliang immediately chose Physical Fitness +1.

Although he exercises regularly, as he gets older, he clearly feels less fit than when he was in his 20s.

With the addition of one point to his physical attribute, Chen Guiliang instantly felt his body brimming with power.

I wonder if it's possible to add that attribute separately...

Chen Guiliang came out of the bathroom and said to Bian Guanyue, "Wife, I'm going to take a shower first. You go back to the room and wait for me. I might perform exceptionally well tonight!"

Bian Guanyue was completely bewildered, not knowing what was wrong with this guy.

(Happy New Year to everyone!)
(This event will be completed around the 6th or 7th. I'm not entirely sure of the exact time; I'll announce it in a new chapter before the event officially starts. Thanks!)
