I’ll Add Points To All Things
chapter-393

Su Yang was confused when he saw Lin Jiali's message. 'It's terrible? What's terrible? What is?

'My box office is terrible?

'Have I travelled through time?'

Puzzled, Su Yang opened iQIYI's server to check the box office. Nothing had changed. It was still more than 4 million yuan for two consecutive days.

'Hang on… could it be that Lin Jiali has travelled through time?'

Su Yang clicked his tongue. 'It seems that Lin Jiali is no longer the same Lin Jiali I used to know. Should I capture her and conduct some research on her?

'After all, a "Time Traveller" is truly rare.'

Su Yang continued playing along with Lin Jiali. 'Really? I haven't got the guts to watch. How terrible is it now?'

Lin Jiali smiled slyly as she laid in bed and replied, 'Let me tell you, there's only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per day.'

Su Yang shrugged. 'This joker…

'How is it possible for me not to have access to the data when she can, did she not think of it?

'To even say that it's 70,000 to 80,000 yuan? She's practically making herself look like an idiot. I would've believed that she was a time traveller if she put up more numbers...

'So is this joker truly an idiot?'

He couldn't be bothered with Lin Jiali's antics. He closed his WeChat and triggered a new Silver mission according to his original plan.

Silver missions were continuous and progressive. The earlier they were triggered, the faster they could be completed.

With the previous experience of triggering the Silver mission, Su Yang started to pray to the sky. 'I want to spend 20 million!'

There was no notification from the system.

Su Yang tilted his head. 'Normally, it should increase by 20 million yuan. Have I miscalculated?'

Puzzled, he said, "I want to spend 30 million yuan!"

There was still no notification from the system.

'Could it be that the amount of money is too little?'

Su Yang was still a little confused as he said, "What if I spent 40 million yuan?"

"45 million yuan! That's the most I can offer!"

"50… 50 million yuan?!"

Just as Su Yang reluctantly said 50 million yuan…

A notification popped up before his eyes. [Congratulations on triggering the Silver mission.]

'It was really 50 million yuan…

'That's too much already!'

Su Yang opened the system mission and was dumbfounded.

[Silver Mission, Investment Diversification]

Mission Objective: Invest 50 million yuan on 5 projects.

Time limit: Two months.

Mission Notes: Investment is an art. However, investment diversification is a way to lower the risk of that "art". Never put all your eggs in 1 basket because it's very easy to have all your eggs broken in 1 go. Even rabbits have three nests. What about you? So, please distribute 50 million yuan and invest in five projects within the next two months.

After reading through the mission, Su Yang felt as though there were butterflies in his stomach. 'This mission is way too difficult!

'Actually, there's nothing wrong with it on the surface. After all, it's only an investment of 50 million yuan among 5 projects.

'Plus, It's easy to spend money.

'In fact, I've already got 4 projects ongoing, Little Deeny's AI research and development, Sanque's health supplements production line, Lin Jiali's management company and Little Hus's stocks.

'If I invested in a movie or a milk tea shop, I'll be settled.

'But… this is just from the surface of the mission!

'The difficulty of this mission isn't how to invest! It's… where am I supposed to find 50 million yuan!

'I only have 10 million yuan on me!

'Where am I supposed to get 50 million yuan?!

'True, I do have money from the box office of the movie, but that money isn't transferred in real time. Instead, I've got to wait for 3 months before I can receive the money.

'So even if this movie's box office earnings really reaches 40 million yuan, I… won't be able to get it in the short term! It won't be able to contribute to this Silver mission!

'This is literally a scam!'

Therefore, according to Su Yang's conclusion, the actual mission for him that time was to earn 50 million yuan in two months and then spend it.

'F** k!'

Su Yang sat on the dining table and was having a headache.

'Why did I have to be bold and provoke the system? Now look where I'm at! I've messed it up big time!

'Also, this system is really weird. Does it not understand the concept of progressive development?

'From the first mission to earn 1 million yuan, the system's now asking me to spend 10 million yuan after managing to earn the 1 million yuan!

'Doesn't the system think of how I'm going to bring the 10 million yuan when I've only just earned 1 million yuan!

'I can look past that and bear with it since I could find that foolish Young Master Ying and get my 10 million yuan back.

'However, the subsequent missions were still the same!

'I was tasked to earn 10 million yuan for the second mission. The logic is very sound, earn 10 million and spend 10 million, earn whatever you spent. This is understandable, plus I've indeed earned it back.

'But now that I've earned 10 million yuan, they're actually asking me to spend 50 million yuan now!

'How do you expect me to fork out 50 million yuan!?

'I might as well steal it for you!

'I might be able to steal it for you if it's 5,000 yuan!

'But, this is 50 million yuan!

'If this isn't a scam, what is?'

Su Yang was in despair.

'I might as well fail this mission.'

Su Yang cried…

'Ding, Ding'

There were many WeChat notifications in a row. Su Yang looked at the interface beside him. Lin Jiali was talking to herself again. It was all about how Su Yang lost money and how she acted badly. In any case, it felt like she was acting in her own movie which she directed.

'I suppose all actors are crazy indeed.'

Su Yang muted all notifications from her and decided to ignore this lunatic.

He was not in the mood to talk to her.

Or rather, he wasn't in the mood to do anything at that moment…

Su Yang looked at the silver mission on the mission list and pondered for a long time. 'Since I'm completely clueless at the moment, I might as well leave it as it is at the moment…

'I might as well find something that I'm interested in to do right now.'

At the thought of this, he could not help but recall the recipe for that week?

'Can I craft this week's special item?

'I should feel happier by obtaining another special item.'

With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the System Shop. He wanted to see what the item for that week's recipe was and what ingredients he needed…

[Shoulder with Unknown Ability]

Recipe :[+1 Item]*1, [Pork Shoulder]*1, [Star Anise]*4, [Pepper]*5g, [Onions]*1 root, [Ginger]*0.5, [Garlic]*1 bulb…

'It looks like a recipe for a roasted pork shoulder…

'Is this a recipe for an item or a pork shoulder dish?

'Am I supposed to eat this

'What would I be able to do after eating this? Roast people?'

As Su Yang thought about it, he left the house and decided to go to the supermarket for some grocery shopping.

When he arrived at the supermarket, Su Yang began his search according to the ingredients' list.

'One pork shoulder… Oh well, make it two. I'll eat one and use the other for the recipe.

"Star anise, onion, ginger." Su Yang muttered as he placed the items into the shopping basket.

Just as he was about to finish shopping, he raised his head and saw a familiar person standing before him.

Su Yang looked at him in shock. "Li Runze?"

As usual, Li Runze was wearing a clean checkered shirt and a backpack. His hair was a little messy.

Li Runze nodded. "You've finally noticed me."

Su Yang was confused

'Does that mean… you've been following me for a long time?

'Why didn't you say anything if you saw me!'

Su Yang asked, "Why are you at the supermarket?"

Li Runze said, "I was here to buy something."

Su Yang looked at his empty hands. "Where's… the thing you bought?"

Li Runze said, "I didn't buy it after I saw you."

Su Yang was speechless.

'What do I have to do with you buying things…'

Su Yang asked, "What were you going to buy?"

Li Runze said, "Food."

'It's tiring talking to this guy. He just answers what he's asked, simple answers in fact.'

Perhaps Li Runze could tell what Su Yang was feeling, so he took the initiative to explain himself. "We're a little busy with our experiments and don't have time to eat, so I have to prepare something which is convenient to eat."

Su Yang nodded.

Then, he saw Li Runze searching for a pile of instant noodles. They were all… braised beef-flavored.

'How much does this guy like to eat braised beef-flavored instant noodles?

'He probably doesn't know that there are other edible foods available.' With that though, Su Yang brought him to buy some meat jerky, digestive biscuits, milk, and so on.

'At least his nutrition was balanced with the meat, noodles and milk'

After they were done shopping, they paid the bill separately and left the supermarket.

At the entrance of the supermarket, Li Runze raised his hand. "See you on Sunday."

Su Yang nodded. "Okay."

Li Runze put down his hands and walked towards the school with a bag of food on his back. The distance between each step was almost the same.

Looking at the genius's back view, Su Yang felt that, 'he's still like a robot.'

When he reached home, Su Yang opened the system store and fixed the video guide of [Shoulder with Unknown Ability] before his eyes.

As the production process this time was relatively simple, Su Yang did not even watch the video a second time before clicking on [Produce].

As he clicked on [Produce], there was a soft thud as a pressure cooker appeared before Su Yang. Other than the pressure cooker, there were no other tools.

'The production process for this recipe is so simple and normal.'

Su Yang took a look at the pressure cooker. The pressure cooker was white, and there was no engraving on it. There was only an [Off] button and an [On] button.

Su Yang went to the study room and took out a fragment of the Little Monster Bean that he had saved. Then, he placed it into the pressure cooker, washed the pork shoulder, plucked the hair off of it and placed it into the pressure cooker.

Then, he closed the lid of the pressure cooker and pressed [On].

The pressure cooker did not need to be plugged in and started operating automatically.

Su Yang sat on the sofa and waited patiently.

'The recipe item this time was similar to the [Perfume with Unknown Ability] from before. The procedures for both recipes are similar, they both required time even though the steps were simple.

Thank goodness I'm more hard working now and have gotten right into producing it earlier.'

As he waited for the item to appear, he planned to check the news online.

Suddenly, an image appeared in front of him. [Heaven's Eyes] had been triggered!

There were two people on the screen. One was Chu Hong, and the other was Director Wang.

The two of them seemed to be in a cafe. They sat opposite each other and chatted.

Director Wang said, "Then what should we do now? Are we just going to watch that movie's box office get higher and higher?"

Chu Hong took a sip of tea. "There's no problem that can't be resolved, it all depends on how much you're willing to sacrifice to resolve it…"
