…. What

Wang Yanguang was stunned for a while, repeatedly confirming that it wasn’t an illusion, and his face slowly turned red.

Fortunes change, and this year, it’s coming to my house!

Excited for quite a while, Wang Yanguang gradually accepted the unexpected luck that came from the sky and shifted his focus back to the system itself.

Life System?

Breath is money?

Wang Yanguang’s mind twitched, staring at the panel, and began to breathe rapidly.

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo!”

Sticking out his tongue, he breathed quickly like a dog. Sure enough, the money digits on the system panel began to skyrocket.

+5 +5 +5 +5…

An average of 1 cent per second.

When he tried hard to earn 10 Yuan (1.40 USD), Wang Yanguang eyes rolled up to the back of his head, his body slack on the wicker chair, and lay half-dead.

Damn, doing it like this is playing with my life. When I earn my first 10,000, I’ll already drop dead!

After resting for a while, Wang Yanguang changed his mind. He started keeping track of how many breaths he took in a single minute under normal conditions.

Inhale, exhale.

He quietly kept track. As such, the shortness of breath went away, but the disparity in his breathing patterns made his face flush.

Wang Yanguang was speechless.

With money involved, even breathing becomes a high-level skill?

“Be more natural, relax, relax!”

Muttering to himself for encouragement, Wang Yanguang tried again.

Trying to empty his mind, not focusing on breathing, after a few minutes, he finally got an approximate number.

About 20 breaths per minute, meaning 1 Yuan earned every minute.

The number seemed not high, but when Wang Yanguang did a simple calculation, he was shocked.

He could make approximately 1440 Yuan (202 USD) per day!

Just by breathing!

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

Wang Yanguang jumped up, spinning around the courtyard, continuously throwing punches into the air, unable to calm down for a long time.

Finally, he rushed to the kitchen, scooped up a basin of water, and poured it from head to toe, feeling refreshingly cool.

Ah, refreshing!

After a quick wipe of his body, Wang Yanguang lay back down, slowly recovering his ability to think, and began to ponder aimlessly.

The system can be upgraded, and its functionality should become more powerful.

10000/1440 = 6.94, which means he could accumulate enough upgrade experience in 7 days.

Not bad.

Moreover, the system’s mechanism is clear — where the money comes from is not important; what matters is how it is spent.

If you don’t spend it, you won’t gain any experience.

Do they want me to become a big spender?

I love it!

On June 8th, Wang Yanguang just stepped out of the college entrance exam, ending a grueling three-year battle.

On June 10th, he received the biggest sum of money in his life, 5000 Yuan (702 USD). He spent 2200 on enrolling in a summer driving school, 2800 on treating his classmates, and now he has 1983 left.

A day ago, he was mocked for having only 200 Yuan in his red envelope and returned home drunk.

Ten minutes ago, the most expensive luxury item on his dream list was an Apple phone.

Now, a silent and cool system tells him: you can make money by breathing.

What kind of feeling is that?

Life is like a box of assorted chocolates. Until you taste them, you never know which one is milk-flavored and which one is shit-flavored.

Wang Yanguang is quite certain: from now on, in my life, it will always be sweet!
