Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 28 System Upgrade
"Xiao Mu, when are you planning to go back?"

"I'm already very touched that you've stayed here with me for so long! I feel a little bad that you've had to go to the internet cafe to write these past few days."

"It's alright." Xu Mu smiled and gently ruffled Bai Xue's hair, saying softly, "I'll stay one more night and go back tomorrow."

"We'll meet in Tianji County then."

"it is good."

The two people were standing in the hospital elevator lobby.

Xu Mu smoked a cigarette without saying a word.

Perhaps the fact that her mother's illness was cured was a great relief for Bai Xue.

The next step is to figure out how to pay back the money owed to Xu Mu.

"Xiao Mu, let me stay with you one more night."

"You've worked hard these past few days too!" Bai Xue said softly, standing beside Xu Mu.

"There will be plenty of time in the future."

"You can rest assured and take good care of Auntie at the hospital."

"I can take care of myself."

"Alright, it's getting late. I'm going to grab a late-night snack and then go back to sleep."

After saying goodbye to Bai Xue, Xu Mu left the hospital and went to a nearby e-sports hotel.

I haven't written tonight's update yet.

Xu Mu ordered takeout and started typing furiously on the keyboard!

Just after midnight, at 00:00 on the 7th, Xu Mu's mind immediately heard the system's notification.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the system task!"

"Received one blind box and 50 experience points!"

"Current experience points: 100/100".

“宿主将升级，目前等级lv2级（0/200），每日获得现金奖励从10000元提升到20000元！”

"Hiss, I knew it!"

Xu Mu thought to himself, "Just as I guessed."

You can level up by completing tasks.

After upgrading to level two, you can upgrade to level three by completing two to four tasks!

The rewards from blind boxes are not fixed, but the experience points are fixed.

There were no significant ups and downs.

"Would you like to open the blind box, host?"

"Turn on!"

Xu Mu opened the blind box without hesitation.

The last time I received a blind box, I was rewarded with 10% of Kaiyuan Taihe's shares. I wonder what I'll be rewarded with this time.

Hope is also a wonderful thing.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a constitution-improving medicine!"

"?"

Xu Mu's eyes widened. What was this thing?
Shouldn't the system reward something tangible? Why is there this kind of thing?
"The physique improvement drug is a unique drug with no side effects launched by the system! This system aims to make the host the richest person. In addition to providing rewards in terms of material life, it will also improve the host's physique and ensure the host's health."

"So that's it!"

Xu Mu understood. In other words, besides money, houses, and cars, there were also things related to health.

After all, on the road to becoming the richest man, one cannot afford to die young due to excessive indulgence or health problems.

If you die young, you lose everything.

Especially for wealthy people like Lao Ma, once they have inexhaustible wealth, wealth becomes secondary; physical health becomes paramount. They then continuously explore technology, researching cryopreservation techniques or searching for ways to achieve longevity.

"How is this medicine used?"

"If taken today, this medicine will comprehensively improve the host's body within a month, bringing the host to absolute health and prolonging life!"

"Brilliant!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Honestly, this reward is nothing compared to any amount of money.

Because you can't buy this thing in real life.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are everyone's destiny, but Xu Mu can change his physical condition through the system. He may not be able to live forever, but he can at least live longer than ordinary people. Perhaps he can still be vigorous and energetic at eighty years old.

Tsk!
I'm so excited just thinking about it!

"Take medication to improve your constitution!"

This stuff is really effective. As long as you take it today, your physical condition will improve quietly over the next month.

Hahaha!
That means I no longer have to worry about working out until I'm exhausted.

After resting for a night, Xu Mu woke up around 10 a.m.

Having bought the high-speed rail tickets, I set off back to Tianji County.

When they were almost at the Tianji County high-speed railway station, Xu Mu called Wang Mengyan.

"Mengyan, I'm back from Shanghai. Can you arrange a car to pick me up?"

"Ok!"

The high-speed train arrived at Tianji County High-speed Railway Station.

After Xu Mu got off the high-speed train, he arrived at the underground parking garage transfer area and saw a Rolls-Royce parked there.

"Mr. Xu, please come in."

Xu Mu got into the car and looked at Wang Mengyan, saying, "Mengyan, have you finished the task I assigned you on the first day?"

"It's done. It cost a total of over 160,000. Here's the detailed bill for you to take a look."

"I'll transfer the extra 30,000 to you now."

"No need," Xu Mu waved her hand, refusing. "You two take the flowers."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu." Wang Mengyan nodded gently, without refusing.

This is the unspoken rule among them.

Are you going home now or back to Yangjiashan?

“Let’s go back to Yangjiashan,” Xu Mu said. “Now that you’ve taken care of things there and have the computer, there’s no need for me to go home.”

"But you might need to bring some clothes."

"Let's go home first, then go to Yangjiashan."

"I'll arrange for a delivery company to help me move my clothes and computer over there."

"Even though I have a new computer, I can't throw away the old one. After all, it's been with me for so long! I'll put it up for sale on Zhuanzhuan later."

Back in his rural home, Xu Mu got out of the Rolls-Royce, which drew curious stares from the old women who were sunbathing and chatting by the roadside.

"Isn't Xu Mu's family very poor? Why are they coming back in such an expensive luxury car?"

"I don't know! Could this kid have gotten into some trouble outside?"

"How could someone who committed a crime be able to come back in such a luxury car? My son told me it's a Rolls-Royce, worth millions!"

"Who knows! I'll ask Old Xu later."

"..."

Xu Mu ignored their gossip. That's just how rural people are—they laugh at the poor and envy the rich. That's human nature; there's no escaping it.

Xu Mu took the clothes that Bai Xue had picked out for him, got into the Rolls-Royce, and headed to the Yangjiashan villa.

Their family owns land, but their parents haven't earned any money over the years, so they haven't built a villa. Xu Mu is thinking that if they have the chance, they should demolish their old house and rebuild a villa.

After all, I still have a rural household registration. Having land to build a villa is a good thing!
It's better than living in an apartment building in the city!
The thought flashed through my mind, but I still need to go back to Ningcheng to talk to my parents.

This can be considered Xu Mu's way of repaying their kindness in raising him.

Back at the Yangjiashan villa, Xu Mu walked ahead, while Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei helped him carry his things.

This is the role of the villa's housekeeper.

To put it simply, it's similar to being a nanny, but the work is even more detailed.

Of course, if they don't want to do housework and cook, they can hire a nanny, but they will have to pay for the nanny themselves.

"Mr. Xu, your master bedroom is on the second floor."

Where do you live?

Xu Mu turned to look at Wang Mengyan beside her and asked curiously.

"We live in the second bedroom on the second floor."

"This way, you can easily contact us anytime."

"Oh!" Xu Mu responded and went to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The master bedroom is very large, with a separate walk-in closet and a bathroom.

The bathroom also has a separate shower and bathtub.

Xu Mu ignored the two of them.

After all, Xu Mu probably doesn't know as much about this villa as they do.

"Mr. Xu, what would you like to eat tonight? We'll go grocery shopping and cook for you."

"Just cook some simple home-style dishes, I'm not picky."

Xu Mu waved her hand, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted. "We usually eat takeout or fast food, so we don't really have any requirements when it comes to food."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Wang Ruofei and Wang Mengyan left the villa and went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

“Mengyan, I found that Mr. Xu is very casual and not interested in anything. Moreover, even when there are two beautiful women like us in front of him, he only glanced at us a few times. It’s not as exaggerated as the other girls said. They said their customers are like wolves and tigers.”

Wang Mengyan thought for a moment and said simply, "Mr. Xu seems rather naive. I guess it's not that he's not interested in us, but rather that he hasn't thought about it that way."

Wang Ruofei's eyes held a hint of expectation, "Then do you think we should take the initiative tonight?"

They are all highly educated individuals, but they cannot escape the harsh realities of life.

Therefore, their mindset has changed to some extent.

"This is our master, so it's only right that we take the initiative! After all, we've gone through a year of training, and isn't our goal to find a suitable boss to marry? Even if we can't marry into a wealthy family, at least finding a good boss is not bad!"

Wang Mengyan thought to herself, "I think Mr. Xu is a great boss!"

Using the more than 30,000 yuan that Xu Mu left for the two of them, Bai Mengyan bought groceries worth over 1,000 yuan.

Since this was Xu Mu's first time moving to Yangjiashan, we decided to celebrate his housewarming.

In addition, they went to a liquor store and bought two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of red wine.

However, I didn't buy a very good wine; instead, I chose one that cost around a thousand yuan.

As villa housekeepers, they have some knowledge of wine culture.

They would never treat their master as a victim.

If Xu Mu knew that they were still meticulously saving money for her, she could only say that this villa housekeeper was really good.

……

In the e-sports room on the second floor of Yangjiashan Villa.

Xu Mu looked at the e-sports room being transformed into a complete system, it was simply every man's dream.

The PS5 comes with a large TV screen, where you can play AAA games.

The computer is a full ROG system, a high-end configuration, priced at around 30,000 yuan.

The computer configuration list is right next to me, and the prices are also listed there.

Xu Mu opened League of Legends and found that the graphics card wouldn't even budge!
"..."

"Damn it, you think my League of Legends isn't even worthy of your spinning fan?"

That's really hurtful!

Sure enough, even a PC built for 3 yuan can run League of Legends smoothly, let alone a ROG full set of PCs that can play AAA games. League of Legends won't even run smoothly with all the effects turned on!

After closing the game, Xu Mu opened the writing software.

Because the author assistant has a synchronization function, Xu Mu only needs to log in to his own account.

Start your day of writing.

The sound of cooking downstairs doesn't reach upstairs at all.

The gaming room is a completely soundproof space; even the curtains are designed to block out sunlight and sound, making it a true paradise for men!

The e-sports room of my dreams.

About an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the e-sports room.

Then, Wang Mengyan, barefoot and with her long legs encased in black stockings, walked to Xu Mu's side and said softly, "Mr. Xu, dinner is ready!"

"Okay, I'll get down now."

As Xu Mu stood up, he smelled a faint perfume emanating from Wang Mengyan.

"You smell so good."

"Thank you."

Wang Mengyan followed behind Xu Mu with a slightly flushed face.

Is this what life is like for the super-rich?
Just over a month ago, Xu Mu was eating instant noodles and playing League of Legends.

Now everyone has their own personal butler!

All I can say is that Brother Tongzi really has the ability to change his life.

When Xu Mu came downstairs, he saw a table full of dishes, as well as red and white wine on the table.

"Mr. Xu, this is your first time staying at Yangjiashan Villa."

"Ruofei and I cooked a few dishes to congratulate you on moving!"

"Thank you," Xu Mu replied with a smile, sitting down in the main seat and opening a bottle of red wine. "Would you like red wine or white wine?"

"Anything is fine, it depends on what Mr. Xu likes."

"Then let's drink red wine."

"Please sit down together. There's no need to be so formal or polite. I don't have many rules, and you don't need to be so respectful to me. Just call me Xu Mu."

"I don't really like being called Mr. Xu."

“Okay, Brother Mu.” Wang Mengyan changed her mind quickly.

These animals, which are always ready to meet their owner's needs, are all specially trained.

Moreover, after hearing what Xu Mu said, she felt even more that Xu Mu was a very good boss.

I need to serve my boss well!
