Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

...

Kenichi Uesugi was standing in the bathroom, looking at the two bottles of white medicine in his hand that emitted a strange smell.

He touched his chin, feeling a bit hesitant to take the bite.

Could the system have given the wrong reward? This smells so strange.

Kenichi Uesugi mustered his courage, pinched his nose, and quickly drank the two bottles of medicine.

The medicine didn't taste as bad as I had imagined; in fact, it was almost tasteless, like water.

Nothing seems to have changed. Uesugi Kenichi looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he was still the same, still as handsome as ever.

"Could this be a counterfeit or substandard product?" Uesugi Kenichi wondered.

Suddenly, he felt an itch in his throat. He opened his mouth to make a sound, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time, accompanied by a slight tearing sensation.

Not only that, a surge of heat also welled up in his abdomen, slowly spreading outwards throughout his body.

Some black substance also seeped out from the pores on the skin.

Before he could examine the changes in his body closely, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.

Fortunately, the toilet was right next door.

Twenty minutes later, Uesugi Kenichi stopped when he felt he was completely exhausted from the diarrhea.

I slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. I felt greasy all over, with black substance covering my hands, face, and every part of my body.

There was no other way, so I rinsed myself under the shower for another ten minutes or so, scrubbing my entire body thoroughly several times.

After taking a shower, Kenichi Uesugi stood in front of the mirror and felt completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

I looked at myself in the mirror, and looked at myself over and over again.

here.

Chapter 346 Making Money

Kenichi Uesugi looked at himself in the mirror and felt a sense of disbelief.

The reflection in the mirror didn't look much different from before; her skin was much fairer, her curves were fuller, and she exuded an explosive sense of power.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling his whole body brimming with power. The sub-health condition he had suffered from due to long-term irregular eating habits, lack of exercise, and staying up late seemed to have been completely restored.

"Looks pretty good," Uesugi Kenichi said softly to himself in front of the mirror.

A voice, slightly different from his usual tone, came out; it was soft but had a magnetic quality.

After noticing this change, Uesugi Kenichi kept talking, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He now has an urge to pick up his guitar and sing loudly.

Before he could even put it into practice, the phone rang in the living room.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was his editor, Zheng Chen, calling.

"Hey, what's wrong with '853'?" Uesugi Kenichi asked.

"So, you're in Jiangcheng right now, right?" Zheng Chen asked.

Yeah, what's wrong?

Here's the thing, I'll be in Jiangcheng in two days. Let's renegotiate the contract. What do you think?

Yes, I don't have a problem with the time.

Okay, it's settled then. By the way, your salary should be deposited into your account today. Please keep an eye on it and let me know if there are any problems with the amount.

Okay, I understand.

That's settled then, bye.

After hanging up the phone, Uesugi Kenichi got dressed and sat down on the bed.

"Will my salary finally come?" Uesugi Kenichi wondered to himself, carefully calculating how much money he would receive.

The average daily subscription has reached 260,000, and the number of "Alliance Masters" (or "Consorts") has reached over 300. Each Alliance Master earns 1000 RMB, which, after splitting with the platform 50/50, is equivalent to 500 RMB per Alliance Master. Other donations are not included. Since its release, I've been updating 20 chapters daily without interruption, totaling about 600 chapters in a month. Taking each chapter as a round number (2000 words), and with the revenue share based on readers' VIP levels, my rough calculation shows my income is approximately...

Nearly 600 million!

Kenichi Uesugi was astonished by the number he had calculated.

There are so many! Could I have miscalculated?

He recalculated several times and found that the result was not much different from his previous calculation.

Kenichi Uesugi sat in front of his computer, listlessly watching a movie. He had been sitting there since lunch. However, he was preoccupied with waiting for news of his salary.

But it's already 16:30 PM, and the banks are about to close!

Kenichi Uesugi forcibly suppressed his urge to call Zheng Chen and continue waiting.

Ding! The phone rang. Uesugi Kenichi didn't change his expression when he heard the message notification, but he quickly picked up the phone.

您尾号5308卡9月1日16:28分转入人民币7345442.9元，活期余额7356453.6元。

Kenichi Uesugi read the message over and over again, counting it several times to make sure he hadn't misread the amount—more than 7.3 million!

After checking his balance on his mobile banking app again, Uesugi Kenichi jumped up from his chair, causing it to fall to the ground. However, he ignored it and wandered around the small room, touching this and sitting there, rolling around on the bed like an epileptic patient.

This state lasted for several minutes before Uesugi Kenichi finally calmed down, panting heavily.

Hahaha, Uesugi Kenichi burst into unrestrained laughter.

Kenichi Uesugi had never seen such a large sum of money in his life. He felt that everything was so unreal, and he was afraid that he would suddenly find out that it was all a dream, and that he would wake up to find that he was no different from two months ago. He was still worrying about finding a job he liked.

"Ouch!" Uesugi Kenichi slapped himself hard and cried out in pain.

Even though the slap hurt a lot, Uesugi Kenichi only felt a sense of peace.

Taking out his phone, Kenichi Uesugi couldn't wait to share his joy with someone.

The phone rang a few times before being disconnected.

However, Kenichi Uesugi wasn't too surprised. The call came back quickly.

Uesugi Kenichi's father, Lin Yi, told him that he had a phone plan with a long period of free calling time each month, so every time Uesugi Kenichi called, the other party would hang up first and then call back.

Hey Dad, what are you doing?

Lin Yi laughed and said, "I'm fine. I was just watching TV. Your voice sounds different. Is there something you need from your dad?"

My throat has been a little sore for the past couple of days, but it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you're doing well over there.

It's fine, but it's a little boring every day. My job isn't tiring, and I have so much free time that I don't know what to do with it.

How are you feeling?

Everything else is fine, except my stomach sometimes hurts terribly. It's an old problem from when I drank too much alcohol when I was younger.

Uesugi Kenichi sighed, "I've told you so many times to go to the hospital to get checked out, but you just won't listen and insist on suffering like this."

Lin Yi dismissed it: "Don't I know my own body? It only hurts occasionally, it's nothing serious. Has Yan Yan called you recently?"

Yan Yan, he recently got a call, don't worry, he's at school.

"That's good. I was just worried that the child wouldn't listen. I won't force him if he doesn't like studying, but he still has to go to school no matter what, right? Even if he sleeps at school every day, that's fine. I've already spoken to his teacher. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we don't need to worry about anything else. What can someone this young do in society?" Lin Yi sighed as he spoke.

Kenichi Uesugi's younger brother, Lin Yan, never liked studying. In his third year of junior high school, he didn't even take a penny and ran off to Tianhai with his friends without saying a word. Only after arriving there did he make a phone call home. Kenichi Uesugi's mother, Yang Yurou, was so scared that she went to the police.

Kenichi Uesugi still remembers that he accompanied Yang Yurou to the police station.

His mother told the police that her child was missing, and the police asked how old he was.

Yang Yurou replied: She is only 16 years old.

Boy or girl?

boy.

The policeman put down his pen after hearing this: "The boy is fine. Go home and wait a few days, he'll be back."

...

Lin Yan didn't return from Tianhai until two months later, and then went back to school. But Lin Yi was always afraid that he would run away again without a word.

After the father and son chatted for a while, Uesugi Kenichi spoke up.

Dad, let's go home. (1.8)

What?

I told you to go home, that I've made a lot of money, with over seven million in savings, and that I'd buy you a train ticket so you could go home in the next couple of days.

Lin Yi felt a little confused after hearing what Uesugi Kenichi said: "Son, although our family is not well-off right now, don't worry, Dad will definitely be able to come up with the down payment for your house in the future. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Uesugi Kenichi was immediately dumbfounded. So he thought I was under too much mental stress and my mind was not clear?

I'm not kidding, I'm serious. If you don't believe me, I'll show you a screenshot of my balance later.

Lin Yi paused for a moment: "You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

Don't you know my personality? Besides, what illegal thing could I possibly do to make over 700 million so quickly?

Lin Yi was still somewhat incredulous at this moment.

Okay, I'll come find you there in a couple of days, and we can go back together then. That's settled, I'm hanging up now.

Chapter 347 New Contract

After ending the call, Uesugi Kenichi sighed. He could understand Lin Yi's situation.

Just like if his younger brother suddenly told him he had more than seven million, Uesugi Kenichi wouldn't believe it.

Since that's the case, let's talk about it face to face. Anyway, his money is legitimate, and he can go back with Lin Yi. With such a large sum of money in hand, and a steady stream of income to follow, he can finally give his family a good life. A smile appeared on Uesugi Kenichi's lips.

After making up his mind, Uesugi Kenichi booked a high-speed rail ticket from Jiangcheng to Yuecheng for three days later.

We'll set off after the contract is finalized the day after tomorrow.

I checked the time and it was almost 5 o'clock. I got such a big paycheck today, so I should treat myself.

Enough said, let's have a feast!
