"Please, I'm begging you all, stop letting me make money!"

"Get away, you damned bills!"

In the eyes of the public, Pei Qiankun was a titan of the entertainment industry, an investment genius, and the perfect boss—but he was utterly miserable.

Ever since he acquired the Wealth Compensation System, he'd been desperately trying to spend money and rack up losses, racking his brains to find losing investments.

But money seemed to have developed a life of its own—the more he spent, the more he had, the more he spent, the more it grew.

Even his employees, who were originally slackers, suddenly acted like they were on performance-enhancing drugs, working like crazy to earn him more and more.

Now staring at the business empire he accidentally built with his own hands, Pei Qiankun was on the verge of tears.

"I really just wanted to lose money!"

[Game Development] [System] [Anti-Trope]

Exclusive Interview

Reporter: “President Mei, your latest game has once again gone explosively viral. Could you share with us the original inspiration behind making this game?”

Mei Caiyi, wearing a pained expression: “You might not believe this, but I actually have a system—every time the company loses money, I personally make a huge profit. So, the whole reason I made this game was to lose money. Same with the last one. And the one before that. All of them.”

Reporter: “Hahaha! President Mei, you’re truly hilarious. I understand now—you’re not in this for the money. You’re just sincerely making heartfelt, high-quality games for the players.”

He really wanted to say: “Understand my ass.”

How was he supposed to know all those games would blow up?

Now they call him things like “visionary,” “marketing genius,” “game development prodigy”—as if they weren’t just slandering him!

“Arbitrary Town”—a construction game with no gameplay, just mindless clicking.

“TombForce”—the protagonist is male, and all the enemies have bizarre, ridiculous designs.

“Cry”—deliberately made to provoke flame wars.

“Conscience-Free Game Platform”—created solely to deter people from registering.

“Escape”—designed to scare players so badly they wouldn’t want to buy it.

…He’s even gone online more than once begging for help: “Willing to pay handsomely for a large-scale, logically sound game idea that’s guaranteed to lose a ton of money!”

Liu Qingyun acquired a ‘Loss-Making System.’ As long as he loses money on investments, he gets ten times the return. He just wants to lose money, but every project he invests in somehow becomes wildly successful. Only the world where Liu Qingyun is the one getting hurt has been achieved.

‘I just want to lose some money—why is it so hard?’

After being reborn, Liu Wei unexpectedly gains the "Slacker System."

As long as he continues to slack off, he’ll achieve success.

But the result...

“President Liu, our game is a massive hit!”

“Brother Wei, our supermarket has expanded into a nationwide chain!”

“Hello, President Liu? Great news—the new movie just won an award!”

“President Liu, your all-in-one entertainment empire is progressing steadily...”

“…”

Liu Wei stands on the balcony, staring blankly:

"How did it turn out like this? I just wanted to slack off!"

...

A counter-trope story.

Awakening optimization system, as long as there is any optimization in the entertainment work, you can get huge rewards.

"Oh my god! Isn't the modeling in this game too beautiful?!"

"I've decided, you'll be my wife from now on!"

Bang!

Warning: You've been attacked by a foundation-building monk and are in a near-death state!

"Fuck, I'm just an NPC in the game, why do I have such a bad temper!?"

Bai You traveled to a parallel world and became a top star. He was assigned a charity system and had to donate 99% of the money he earned from writing songs and acting, otherwise it would be taken away by the system.

The song "Tianxia" received 20 million yuan in dividends, which were donated!

The song "Lanting Xu" received 30 million in dividends, which were donated!

……

"Storm" distributed 100 million in dividends, and donated it!

The dividend of "Long Moon Embers" is 300 million? Donate!!!

……

Han Hong: "Bai You is the most frugal star I have ever seen. He is reluctant to eat meat buns for breakfast and only eats vegetarian food."

Director Kuang Biao: "In order to save money, he took the bus to the crew and was reluctant to take a taxi."

Hua Chenyu: "He must be the poorest star in the entertainment industry. I've never seen a star who gives cash back for good reviews. His clothes are still 9.9."

Kun Kun: "He is so stingy that he only has two pairs of shoes. Reba is barefoot in his house without slippers."

Haters: "He's handsome, he sings well, he's a good actor, and his character is impeccable. I finally found his weakness. He's stingy. Brothers, attack him! Label him the poorest top star!"

Just when all the black fans attacked the white right and wanted him to step down, a piece of news shocked netizens.

"The president of China's largest and most mysterious foundation is Bai You?!"

"I eat vegetarian buns every day so that orphans can eat meat buns!"

"We save money to take the bus so that we can save money to build a school road for left-behind children!"

"I bought 9.9 clothes to save money and give cotton clothes to the homeless!"

“Not buying shoes is to give children with leukemia a way to survive!”

"What? He donated another billion?"

The whole network burst into tears!

[No lowering of intelligence, partial to daily life, no hostility, no losing one's head, no saintliness, plenty of excitement, no deliberate face-slapping plot]

Chen Xiangbei had just graduated from college, but the current job-hunting environment was not good and he could not find a good job. With only a few dozen dollars left in his pocket, he realized the need for a daily settlement system.

[Ding, the host is detected to be in poverty, the system awakens. ]

Ding, the income from selling ornamental fish is 1,200 yuan, and the reward amount is 12,000 yuan!

Ding, the income from selling yellow croaker is 16,000 yuan, and the reward amount is 160,000 yuan!

Ding, the income from selling giant grouper is 320,000 yuan, and the reward amount is 6,400,000 yuan!

Ding, the deep-sea monster Canglong can't be sold! Then put it in my private open ocean museum!
