Chapter 3: Limited Time Task: How to Become a Super Rich

“Sorry, Big Brother, I forgot to get you shoes. Please wear these for now.”

Just as Du Ze was standing there in a daze, Wang Xueqing’s voice rang in his ears.

Du Ze turned his head and saw Wang Xueqing bending down to place a pair of slippers at his feet.

It was broad daylight, and although the power was out, the room was brightly lit.

The moment Wang Xueqing bent over, a dramatic cleavage appeared in the white tank top she was wearing.

Du Ze felt his eyes were a bit dazzled.

He couldn't help but swallow, lowered his gaze, and put on the slippers.

Although Wang Xueqing’s appearance was not as stunning as Lin Zhenru’s, her figure was far more feminine than hers, with a full bust and shapely rear, like a ripe peach.

Du Ze couldn’t quite understand why Shen Tian, with such a luscious wife at home, was still flirting around outside.

While sighing, a somewhat wicked thought emerged in Du Ze’s mind.

Could the effect of the Revenge Card be about to materialize on Shen Tian’s wife?

Damn it, am I that kind of person?

“Big Brother, the electric meter box is here.”

Wang Xueqing led Du Ze to the electric box next to the entrance.

Du Ze pushed aside distracting thoughts and carefully checked it.

For three years of marriage, Du Ze had taken on all the household chores.

For this, he had learned various skills, including but not limited to electrician, plumber, chef, etc. Now that he thought about it, these skills might not be useless after all.

At least they came in handy now.

“It’s fine, the fuses are all good. It probably just tripped.”

Du Ze flipped the tripped main switch back on, and soon, the household appliances started making their characteristic sounds.

But the situation only improved for a few seconds before Du Ze heard a “click,” and the main switch tripped again.

“Big Brother, what’s going on?”

Wang Xueqing brushed her hair behind her ears, her beautiful face etched with worry.

Du Ze thought for a moment: “It might be that some appliance in the house has a short circuit. Finding the problematic appliance should fix it.”

“Appliance? But I was doing yoga earlier; I didn’t turn on anything except the TV.”

Du Ze rubbed his temples. In his experience, high-power appliances like microwaves and air conditioners are usually the most prone to problems, and washing machines occasionally too.

But since Wang Xueqing said she only had the TV on earlier, it shouldn’t be a problem with those appliances.

“Can I check the house?”

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

Wang Xueqing agreed without much thought.

The two searched the living room and balcony but found nothing.

Du Ze glanced at the bedroom next to them: “How about we check inside the bedroom?”

“Okay… Oh, wait!”

Wang Xueqing agreed casually, but when she saw Du Ze walking towards the bedroom, she suddenly exclaimed, trying to stop Du Ze.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

Du Ze, already standing at the doorway, immediately saw the black silk bra that Wang Xueqing had probably taken off for yoga, lying on the bed.

Wang Xueqing rushed in, stuffed the items under the covers, her face flushed, and her eyes flustered.

“I’m sorry, I forgot to tidy up the room.”

“It’s fine.”

Du Ze shook his head and continued searching.

This time, he had a discovery.

“It should be because of this thing. The person who installed it didn’t have much experience; the wiring is a mess, and the power cord has a loose connection, causing an unstable power supply, leading to a short circuit and tripping.”

Du Ze said, holding the miniature camera he had removed.

Wang Xueqing took the camera in her hand in disbelief, and suddenly her eyes welled up.

Du Ze watched this scene, somewhat caught off guard.

What’s going on?

Wang Xueqing didn’t seem to know about this camera?

Could it be that Shen Tian suspected his wife was cheating, so he secretly installed a camera at home to monitor her?

“Sister, don’t overthink it. Perhaps your husband installed these for some fun…”

Du Ze deliberately said this.

“Hmm… it should be like that.”

Wang Xueqing wiped her tears and forced a smile at Du Ze: “Big Brother, thank you so much today!”

“It’s nothing, just a small favor. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Okay, I’ll see you out.”

The two left the bedroom and returned to the living room.

After putting on his shoes, Du Ze originally planned to leave directly, but his gaze caught sight of Wang Xueqing and Shen Tian’s marriage certificate on the coffee table in the living room.

He still couldn’t help but ask: “Um… is this still your husband?”

“Yes.”

“Is his last name Shen?”

Wang Xueqing was stunned for a moment: “You know him?”

“Not really, it’s just that my ex-wife and he…”

“Excuse me, I need to take a call.”

Halfway through Du Ze’s sentence, he pretended to receive a call, pulled out his phone, and walked out the door.

Wang Xueqing was stunned for a while, then suddenly chased after him.

“Big Brother, what did you just say?”

Wang Xueqing couldn’t help but ask, but at that moment, Du Ze had already entered the elevator.

Watching the closed elevator door, Wang Xueqing clutched the camera in her hand.

Her marriage was not truly happy; her husband, Shen Tian, had been caught cheating once a long time ago.

But because Shen Tian later begged her for forgiveness and promised not to do it again, Wang Xueqing forgave him.

However, Du Ze’s words just now made her suspect Shen Tian once again.

In fact, she had already felt that Shen Tian was acting a bit strange recently.

More than once, she had found other women’s hair on his clothes.

Although Shen Tian repeatedly claimed that it was just from entertaining clients and that he had absolutely not wronged her.

But it seemed things weren’t really like that… She thought of the private investigator Shen Tian had hired the first time he cheated and dialed his number again.

Downstairs, Du Ze walked towards the outside of the community with a pleasant feeling.

Alright, I am that kind of person… He had deliberately said those words before leaving, to create a rift in Wang Xueqing’s relationship with her husband.

He believed that the rift would gradually widen, and then… The community where Xia Jia let Du Ze temporarily stay was also a mid-range community.

The average house price was fifty to sixty thousand yuan.

Therefore, there was a China Merchants Bank branch not far from the community.

Du Ze left the community and arrived there in just a few steps.

Because the phone customer service had already made an appointment for him in advance, the business was handled very smoothly.

In less than half an hour, the savings card in Du Ze’s hand became an all-black Golden Sunflower Card.

Walking out of the bank, Du Ze toyed with the black bank card in his hand, filled with emotion.

When he exchanged the card just now, he reconfirmed the balance in his account.

1,011,240.60 yuan!

It was hard to believe that last night, his savings weren’t even enough to survive a month in a big city like Magic City.

But now, he had already become a millionaire!

The tycoon game app on his phone had opened a new door to his world!

Taking a deep breath, Du Ze directly opened the game.

Since this game was his golden finger, he naturally had to hold onto this golden thigh tightly.

There was still a mission card from the previous ten-pull that hadn’t been used. It was time to see how this mission card worked.

“Ding! You used a Random Mission Card and triggered the Timed Mission 【How to Be a Tycoon 1】. Please go to 【Mission Center】 to view it.”

Du Ze clicked on the Mission Center in the interface to view the information.

“Mission Name: How to Become a Tycoon 1”

“Mission: To be a Tycoon, the first priority is to learn how to spend money. You should learn how to spend every penny elegantly and uniquely, instead of aimlessly squandering it!”

“Mission Requirements: Please spend lavishly on clothing, food, housing, transportation, and entertainment before 24:00 today!”

“Mission Reward: Up to 200% rebate on each player’s spending amount. Triggering lucky numbers will yield additional rewards.”

“Mission Description: The game will automatically score players’ various expenses in clothing, food, housing, transportation, and entertainment, and provide spending rebates based on the results. The cumulative spending limit for each expense category is 2 million, and amounts exceeding this will not receive rebates.”
