"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!"
"Divorce if you don't get sterilized!"
"Anyway, I won't have a child with a useless man like you!"
In order to find another partner, his wife, who did not want to have children, threatened Zhang Bo with divorce and forced him to have a sterilization.
Looking at the newly awakened fertility and prosperity system, Zhang Bo smiled:
"It's a deal, double happiness!"
From then on, there was one more woman in the world who regretted to the point of crying bitterly, and one more happy man who was free and unrestrained.
Kejin traveled to an era of chaotic games, where everyone believed in the idea of using money to buy happiness. Game companies were in chaos, and various methods of defrauding and forcing people to gain money were endless. Countless games could even steal money, but still give it back to players. A card drawing simulator was released.
As a fan of games in his previous life, Kejin suddenly felt that the sky was dark. Fortunately, he got the Zero Krypton game production system!
As long as players don't spend money, they can get the ultimate reward of the "Complete Collection of Game Design Plans"!
Not spending money? Isn’t this easy to handle? Give me MengMeng benefits!
Give away 50 consecutive cigarettes during the high summer temperatures! Get 100 draws on the second day after the server is launched! Since the daily active users of this game have reached 50, a set of cool skins originally priced at 999 will be given away! The sister-in-law who planned it has just turned 17 years, 3 months and 7 days old, and hereby distributes 50,000 crystals!
My sincerity has almost filled the players. After all, no one will be interested anymore, right?
Secretary: Mr. Ke, good news! The new game we just launched has already achieved sales of over 100 million on the first day!
Ke Jin: Huh? What kind of good news is this? No, what about the other one? Then the game will give away 100-99 vouchers when the game is launched. Is the sales volume very poor?
The secretary looked at the boss's expectant face in confusion and said: They shouted something about a company with a conscience, or it would go bankrupt if it didn't pay, and so on, so they charged it up. That game has sold 100 million copies worldwide. Congratulations on making 100 million!
"..."
At 3:30 that night, Ke Jin was lying in bed, unable to sleep, and sent a message: Please stop cheating, you are really hurting me...
Player: Got it, Mr. Ke said that life is hard, brothers, please increase your efforts! Charge me!
After being reborn right after graduation, Cheng Xu embarks on his store-owning journey. He starts off with a single large shop—400 square meters—and just the monthly rent costs over 10,000 yuan. According to the trajectory of his past life, this should end in business failure and dragging his parents down with him.
This time, Cheng Xu decides to give up and slack off. No more striving—surely that will keep him from repeating his old mistakes.
Wait, what? A Wealth System has bonded with him? And it gives him a 100-to-1 rebate on any losses?
Well then, forget lying flat. He’ll follow the same path as last time—max out spending, join forces when he can’t beat them, and go all-in on milking the system for everything it’s got.
But somehow… he’s making money? What the hell? Get away from me, you damned piles of cash!
Ten years later, a reporter interviews him:
“Mr. Cheng, what inspired you to become such a conscientious entrepreneur?”
Cheng Xu sighs helplessly:
“Is it possible… that I just really wanted to lose money?”
Qin Dong traveled through the end of the world and became the president of a small shelter.
It coincided with a zombie riot, food depletion, people's morale was low, and the situation was extremely critical.
In desperation, he linked to the disaster relief system mall, and everything consumed on the refugees can be purchased at a super low price!
Qin Dong raised his arm and called out:
"As long as you join the East Territory Shelter, you will be my brother! All food will be provided at a fair price, with no limit on quantity!"
The refugees burst into tears:
"One zombie crystal core can be exchanged for ten buckets of instant noodles? Oh my god, Brother Dong won't go bankrupt, right?".
"As long as you work twelve hours a day, you can have three full meals? Impossible! How can there be such a philanthropist!"
"Brother Dong is like our second parent, and he is like our second parent. If one day he shot me in the chest with a gun, I would also believe that the gun went off accidentally."
"I have never seen a saint like Qin Dong! In this dark end of the world, he is like a ray of light, allowing me to see the brilliance and splendor of human nature."
"He is the savior of this end-time, a God walking on earth. He works tirelessly without asking for anything in return, and his purpose in life has long transcended worldly life."
……
Qin Dong was dumbfounded: "I did all this just to make a little profit!"
After establishing a unified human empire, Yang Hao was wrongfully removed from office due to the unequal distribution of benefits he granted to nobles, popes, and landowners. None of the people he supported spoke out against him, or were unable to speak out. This incident became known as the "Quiet Exile" incident. After returning to the village where it all began, humiliated and humiliated, he was not greeted by his former friends, nor by the village chief who had saved his life, but by the annoying Sister Teresa, who had always been at odds with him. "Did you show up just to sneer at me?" "Although your downtrodden appearance is indeed quite amusing, this [Lu Wei]
Liu Ziyang lay slumped on the creaking, broken sofa in his rented apartment, staring at the "Balance less than 100 yuan" notification on his phone screen. His temples throbbed. Just three days ago, he was a project manager at an internet company; now, he was part of the unemployed masses, without enough money in his pocket to even cover next week's rent.
"Grrrrumble—" His stomach growled at an inconvenient moment. He fished out the last packet of instant noodles from the fridge, three days past its expiry date. Just as he tore open the packaging, his phone screen suddenly went black, then a flashy, golden interface popped up.

Chen Xin is a rich second-generation who is in the late stage of cancer. In order to survive, he agrees to the system to travel to the game world.
In five years, using the equivalent assets of your family to capture female characters, you can return to your original world and gain a lifespan of 100 years.
In just five years, he completed the achievement [Eight Separation Family] and returned to his original world. His cancer was cured, but his family went bankrupt and he could only work part-time.
He had just started working when his department manager suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist tightly: "Chen Xin, disappearing is fun, right?! Why are you divorcing me?"
Chen Xin was dumbfounded. Isn’t this the tsundere white-collar beauty in the game?
Not only the arrogant boss, the love-brained intern, the divorced landlord, the sickly nurse, the cold and domineering female boss...
Chen Xin: System!! Didn’t we agree that these were all characters from the game world?!
System: I think I made a mistake. Send it to me! See you later!
Chen Xin: I feel a little dead...
Others laughed at him for being afraid of death and ridiculed him for wasting his time.
He is clearly an excellent professional card maker, but he lives in a daze every day.
Even the only opportunity for admission to the Professional Advanced College has been delayed again and again.
I joined five years late...
The difficulty doubles with each year of delay. Now his assessment is thirty-two times more difficult than that of an ordinary person!
Only Lin Yu himself knows...
Everything is worth it!
Just one month before the fifth year assessment, he finally found the key card he had been dreaming of!
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.
