Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

After work in the evening, to celebrate that everyone had found a job where they could comfortably slack off.

Xiaomeng and Xiaoping celebrated with a seafood buffet that cost 580 yuan per person.

The two of them ate a Boston lobster that was as thick as an adult's arm.

They also took a lot of common seafood such as bread crabs, hairy crabs, mantis shrimps, and oysters, and asked the staff to help them process them.

This buffet restaurant's main selling point is the freshness of its ingredients.

The fish, shrimp, and crabs in the buffet restaurant are all kept in fish tanks.

The staff will only take the food to be processed after the customer places an order.

The way the ingredients are prepared is entirely up to the customer's preference; the available preparation methods include steaming, spicy cooking, and braising.

Xiaomeng and her friends chose to have the staff put the ingredients they selected into a pressure cooker and steam them at high temperature. Finally, they took them out and dipped them in sauce before eating.

If you're looking for something with a stronger flavor, try the seafood prepared with salt and pepper or spicy sauce; they have those too. Huge pots of them are piled up on the self-service counter; just take as much as you want.

However, seafood, especially shrimp, crab, and sea urchin, has a lot of shells. After a meal, you can really accumulate a lot of garbage and have to throw away plate after plate.

It looks like they took a lot of food and ate a lot. But in reality, there wasn't much meat in their mouths.

Of course, besides the limited edition Boston lobster I picked up at the beginning.

That lobster was truly enormous; it was the most valuable item at the entire buffet. Eating those huge chunks of meat was incredibly satisfying.

The other seafood is just so-so; a big steak would be more worthwhile. It's mostly about enjoying the freshness.

Besides seafood, Xiaomeng and her friends also ate a lot of desserts and pastries.

Items like ice cream and banana splits are unlimited.

However, anyone who has eaten at a buffet knows that if you eat too much dessert or main course, you'll lose money.

Therefore, Xiaomeng and the others ate very moderately, and only ate the good things they had.

The food at this buffet is quite delicious; most people eat until they're stuffed and have to leave.

Xiaomeng felt that after this seafood buffet, she wouldn't want to eat seafood again this year.

Xiaoping paid for the meal. She said to Xiaomeng, "Don't try to pay with me. I know I only got this job today because of you."

Manager Teng is trying to curry favor with you, isn't he?

I was only allowed to go in as a bonus; if you hadn't agreed to stay, he wouldn't have wanted me.

This job is easy and has good benefits, which is what many people dream of.

I don't have much else to offer, so I can only treat you to a buffet. Please don't think I'm stingy.

Seeing Xiaoping's sincerity, Xiaomeng stopped trying to take it and happily accepted her kindness.

……

After dinner, Xiaomeng and Xiaoping went home separately.

It's time to do tasks again. There are still about 120,000 daily tasks to complete today.

Charge! Marriott Shopping Mall, here I come!

The shopping plaza in the city center is quite powerful.

Xiaomeng only went into one store and completed her task for the day.

She walked into a high-end bedding store and bought two sets of 100% mulberry silk ten-piece bedding sets with jacquard patterns.

In addition, there are one or two items including silk quilts, natural rubber pillows, and mulberry silk pillows.

Then she completed her task for the day.

Sigh, what's going on? Why am I spending money so fast these days?

Since Xiaomeng obtained the system and started doing missions, she seems to have entered a parallel world with high inflation.

Previously, you could buy a set of pure cotton bedding in various styles for just over 100 yuan.

Now, 120,000 yuan is needed to buy two apartments?

It seems that money is no longer money.

Is this the world of the rich? A completely parallel world to the world of ordinary people?

……

Back home, Xiaomeng saw the new furniture she had bought near Mission Hills that day. It had all been delivered, neatly arranged, and wiped clean—not a speck of dust remained.

Luckily, there wasn't much old furniture in the house to begin with. Otherwise, we would have had to get rid of the old furniture.

After a busy night, Xiaomeng changed the high-end bedding.

This house finally looks like the home of a rich and beautiful woman.

After washing up, Xiaomeng had some free time. She sat down at her newly bought desk, touching this and that. She felt very comfortable with her mind free of distractions and her brain emptied.

You don't have to worry about being fired for not being able to meet your targets tomorrow, or whether you'll have enough money for living expenses this month.

Having developed a busy work habit over the years, I can't seem to break it all at once.

Xiao Meng thought for a moment and decided to adapt her job-hunting experience from today into an interesting little story on her computer and publish it.

I went back to the short story I posted yesterday to check the earnings and comments. Not bad! It got a few thousand views and a few hundred comments, earning me a few dollars.

Xiaomeng was delighted to find that her own writing could actually earn her money.

That's great! This is the first time she's ever seen royalties, and Xiaomeng is incredibly proud.

This money wasn't given by the system. It was money she earned herself through side jobs. It was extra income beyond her salary, and even though it was only a few dollars, she was very satisfied.

It seems that skill upgrade card really works.

Should I research and learn some other money-making techniques, and upgrade them using skill upgrade cards?

Wouldn't it be great to easily reach the skill level of a pro?

But let's skip the embroidery skill that was just added today.

Even the most skilled embroiderer would have to work hard for several months to create a high-end piece, which is simply not worth it.

Forgive her for being such an impatient and opportunistic person; this is just me being sarcastic.

……

When Xiaomeng first started working at the museum, she received a call informing her that her new energy vehicle had arrived.

She took leave early in the morning to go to the car dealership and pick up her car.

Now she can commute to work in this little car.

This isn't a luxury car; it won't attract attention on the road, and there's no need to worry about friends making a fuss if they see her driving a nice car.

This greatly expanded Xiaomeng's range of activities.

She saw a recommended ad on her phone.

The advertisement recommended a private restaurant in the city center, which is said to have very delicious food.

Xiaomeng took advantage of her lunch break to drive over and eat there.

That private restaurant charges anywhere from a thousand to tens of thousands of yuan for a meal. Even a simple home-style dish costs over 100 yuan, which is quite expensive for the average person.

However, Xiaomeng didn't have to worry about the price now, so she ordered some dishes she had never tried before.

For example, expensive dishes such as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, grilled mullet roe, and truffle stewed eggs filled half of the round table.

She has a better appetite now and can easily eat five or six dishes by herself, which is very satisfying.

She had never even seen those high-end ingredients like abalone, sea cucumber, and mullet roe before, let alone eaten them. This was truly an eye-opening experience for her.

The meal cost over five thousand yuan, leaving Xiaomeng astonished at the bill. How could a meal be so expensive?

The waitress who came to settle the bill thought she couldn't afford it.

Fortunately, Xiaomeng's bank card wasn't empty, giving the waitress a false alarm.

After finishing her meal, Xiaomeng packed an extra portion of the famous snacks from the private restaurant to take home for her friends as afternoon tea.
