"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!"

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?”

Unemployment after graduation? Su Yun faced such a situation. Fortunately, Su Yun awakened the daily intelligence system. Relying on the intelligence, Su Yun went from an ordinary person to a big boss who reached the top of the mountain!

[Daily Intelligence: Welfare Lottery launches a new lottery - Super Lottery. Winning numbers: 06 07 09 12 15 32 07. First prize: 5,000,000 RMB per ticket. Six tickets remaining, totaling 30,000,000 RMB!]

[Daily Intelligence: There's a mother coin worth 600,000 yuan at West Street Antique City. It can be sold at a high price even if you pay a low price.]

[Daily Intelligence: There's a piece of wasteland on the outskirts of town. Buy it and resell it for several times the price!]

Relying on the daily intelligence system, Su Yun gained countless wealth and jumped from a graduate who had difficulty finding a job to the best in the world!

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.

[Ding! Host detected in a life low point, "Loss Rebate" System is binding...]

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.

[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!”

Wang Xiaoyu transmigrated to a parallel world and became a PhD student. He then received a system that rewarded him with 100 times the profit as long as he ran a company normally, spent money continuously, and mismanaged it. But unexpectedly, these sneaky bastards kept making the company better and better! They turned it into the world’s number one game company, the world’s number one supermarket, the world’s top investment firm, and so many other titles.

Wang Xiaoyu helplessly said: “I just want to lose money, but there are just too many of these sneaky bastards!”
