Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 196: System Upgrade, Business Secret

Ye Ling was taken aback for a mont, then looked over at Ning Ruoxi.

’She never told about this, did she?’

After Qin Xuan left, Ye Ling finally spoke up. "Your dance club has a performance. Aren’t you participating?"

"Why would I participate in that..."

But Ning Ruoxi just pouted, saying nonchalantly.

To be honest, ninety percent of the reason she’d signed up for the dance club was Ye Ling. Back then, he had said he wanted to see her dance...

So, she had learned to dance for Ye Ling.

As for performing on stage at the arts festival?

She really wasn’t interested.

"You know, you can participate if you want. I don’t mind."

Ye Ling imdiately made his stance clear.

Love should be about mutual understanding, not absolute possession.

"No, really. I’m just not interested."

Ning Ruoxi gave a sweet, simple smile, reaching out to hug Ye Ling’s arm as she spoke.

"My girlfriend is the best."

Ye Ling wrapped his arm around Ning Ruoxi and couldn’t help but sigh in bliss.

Ning Ruoxi had laid her heart bare. If he still didn’t get it, he’d have to be a complete blockhead.

Just because of a single sentence he’d uttered, Ning Ruoxi had decided to join the dance club and learn to dance.

’What more needed to be said?’

’This was the most beautiful love confession of all!’

...

Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was December.

After several downpours in a row, on top of the earlier typhoon, Modu had fully plunged into the cold of winter. A chilling austerity filled the air.

The ginkgo trees at Modu University were now bare, carpeting the campus avenues in a layer of gold.

During this ti, besides attending classes, Ye Ling also had a piano brought over. He would play it from ti to ti, basking in Ning Ruoxi’s captivated gaze.

’Sigh, what could he do?’

’Brother Ling was actually quite vexed. After all, who told him to be so handso and multi-talented?’

「On this day.」

Ye Ling had just gotten out of bed and was about to do his daily check-in when a notification tone suddenly chid in his mind.

’DING! Congratulations, Host, on completing the upgrade mission: Acquire the Net Entertainnt Group.’

’DING! System successfully upgraded to Version 2.0!’

’DING! Congratulations, Host, on receiving one Upgrade Grand Gift Pack.’

’DING! Host’s successful promotion to Version 2.0 has been detected. Mission function unlocked.’

’NOTICE: In System Version 2.0, check-ins have been changed from daily to monthly. The quality of rewards will be increased.’

’System products are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.’

...

As the notifications rang out, a massive amount of information instantly flooded Ye Ling’s mind.

After a long mont, Ye Ling slowly ca to his senses and began to process the information in his head.

After the system upgrade, there were two main changes.

First, the ridiculously bad luck was finally gone. Daily check-ins had been replaced with monthly ones, which ant he wouldn’t be getting any more garbage rewards like ten asly coins.

Second, a mission function was unlocked. He could now get rewards for completing missions, which would be triggered randomly.

’This seems alright, I guess?’

Ye Ling rubbed his chin. He wasn’t sure about the second point yet, but just looking at the first... ’Does this an I finally don’t have to drink that "Amoxi" yogurt every day?’

Honestly, he’d been on the verge of going insane. The system had been giving him case after case of the stuff; he couldn’t drink it fast enough.

He even had to drag Ning Ruoxi into drinking it with him!

It got so bad that Ning Ruoxi finally couldn’t take it anymore and warned him that if he made her drink any more "Amoxi," he wouldn’t be allowed in bed.

’But, speaking of which... since the system upgraded, does that an the Net Entertainnt Group has been acquired?’

With that thought, Ye Ling opened his laptop and searched for news about the Net Entertainnt Group.

The news that Shengding Group had successfully acquired the Net Entertainnt Group spread quickly online, sending shockwaves through the industry.

As one of the original internet giants, Shengding Group had gradually faded from the public eye over the years. Its recent rger with the Yu Group had already attracted a fair amount of attention.

Now, by acquiring the Net Entertainnt Group, Shengding Group was undoubtedly thrust directly into the public spotlight.

Shengding Group had always felt like a slumbering behemoth. Now, it seed as if that behemoth was beginning to stir and open its eyes.

And the Jiang Family, the behind-the-scenes backer of the Net Entertainnt Group, was naturally incensed by the news.

The Net Entertainnt Group was founded with the express purpose of dealing a blow to Ye Ling, and now it had been taken over by him instead?

It was an undeniable humiliation.

Just then, a ssage ca in from Zhu Yun. She confird that Shengding Group had successfully taken control of the Net Entertainnt Group and also relayed so intelligence she had gathered from the capital.

The Jiang Family was indeed planning to move against Shengding Group and had been making small, probing moves recently.

’They want to make a move on ?’

The corner of Ye Ling’s mouth curled up, but he didn’t seem particularly concerned.

To be fair, the Jiang Family held a high status in the Xia Country; they were, after all, one of the capital’s eight great families. Shengding Group, on the other hand, was rely a powerful internet company in the modern era.

In terms of deep-rooted influence, the gap between the two was imnse. But that didn’t an Ye Ling was afraid of the Jiang Family.

Because this was an era governed by rules!

The market was like a ga, and every party was a player. No one likes a player who breaks the rules!

No matter how powerful the Jiang Family was, if they wanted to move against Shengding Group, they still had to abide by the rules of the market.

If the Jiang Family broke the rules, then other powers would naturally break the rules to move against them in turn!

After all, the title of one of the capital’s eight great families was a very coveted one.

"System, open the Upgrade Grand Gift Pack."

’DING!’

’Congratulations, Host, on successfully opening the Upgrade Grand Gift Pack. You have obtained one comrcial secret.’

The corner of Ye Ling’s mouth lifted slightly.

’Well, damn. Talk about getting a pillow just when you’re getting sleepy.’

’This system is too damn helpful!’

This comrcial secret was practically tailor-made for the current Ye Ling!

’DING! Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a mission: Counterattack the Jiang Family.’

’Mission Details: Enemies must be t with a heavy fist.’

’Please use your own thods to deal a heavy blow to the Jiang Family. Rewards will be determined by the degree of mission completion.’

’Since that’s the case, then it’s ti to teach the Jiang Family a proper lesson.’

...

In the afternoon, after his classes ended, Ye Ling sent a ssage to Zhu Yun and headed to the Shengding Group headquarters.

"Chairman Ye, you’re here."

Zhu Yun said respectfully the mont she saw him arrive.

"You’ve worked hard recently. But there’s a new task. Are you up for it?"

Ye Ling said with a slight smile as he looked at Zhu Yun.

"Of course I am. To be honest, I wasn’t very involved in the later stages of the move against the Net Entertainnt Group," Zhu Yun said imdiately.

"That’s good."

Ye Ling nodded and sat down. "Regarding the Jiang Family in the capital, what are your thoughts?"
