The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 2 Without madness, there is no life.

The torrential rain stopped and the dark clouds dispersed.

I don't know when, but the rain outside the window stopped.

Moonlight pierced through the dark clouds and shone upon the earth, restoring tranquility to the entire world.

Gu Heng sat blankly on the sofa, staring at the light screen that was still floating in front of him, as if he had been frozen in place.

Wealth levels...

A9!

In this era of information overload, Gu Heng naturally understood what wealth level A9 meant.

This means that as long as Gu Heng can successfully complete the system challenge, he will instantly transform from a penniless nobody into a super-rich man with assets exceeding 100 million.

Assets exceeding 100 million!

Gu Heng would never have dared to be so audacious in his wildest dreams!
However, this was only the first step in his life's transformation.

"So much money..."

Gu Heng muttered to himself unconsciously, "Even if I changed my cilantro and gummy bears every day, I probably wouldn't be able to spend all my money before I died."

Based on current bank fixed deposit interest rates, even if the one-year interest rate is only 1.5%, if Gu Heng had 100 million yuan in the bank, the interest alone would reach 1.5 million yuan in just one year.

In other words, as long as Gu Heng can complete this first challenge, it will be enough for him to achieve financial freedom in Beichun, a second-tier city, and even live a life like a king.

Beichun, the capital of Jilin Province.

This is a magical city.

Because when you earn 3,000 yuan a month, Beichun may just be an economically backward and stagnant old industrial city in Northeast China.

but……

When you earn 50,000 a month, Beichun is like the Paris of the East.

It can be the sunset over Jingyuetan, the evening breeze over Nanhu Lake, the everyday life on Guilin Road, or the crab roe noodles at MixC and the Louis Vuitton at Zhuozhan. It can be the songs coming from countless bars on Hongqi Street, or the ultimate gentle haven that countless men dream of.

If a monthly salary of 5 yuan is enough, imagine how much more so an annual salary of 150 million yuan.

You can’t spend it all, you can’t spend it all.

Just as Gu Heng's heart was surging with emotion, the light screen that had been floating in front of him gradually dissipated, and then he saw the golden tower tremble slightly once again.

[Congratulations, host! You have received the buff reward: "Eternal Day Engine"]

[“Eternal Day Engine”: By simply getting shorter sleep, you can restore your energy to a peak state. Your body's recovery mechanisms will become more efficient, your stress resistance will be stronger, and your metabolism will be more efficient.]

After about several tens of seconds, once Gu Heng had read the text on the light screen, the light screen gradually disappeared from his sight again, and in its place was a beam of light emitting emerald green light, as if breaking through the boundary between reality and illusion, and suddenly shooting towards Gu Heng.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into Gu Heng's body.

'Um? '

'I don't seem to notice any changes?'

Gu Heng raised his hands and feet, muttering to himself.

However, considering the description of the "Eternal Day Engine" buff, Gu Heng guessed that he might have to wait until he had a good night's sleep to find out how effective the buff was.

"Clap!"

Suddenly, the lights inside the room came on.

"The phone is ringing."

Seeing that Tongzi was no longer making any moves, Gu Heng turned his attention back to reality.

"First, check how much you weigh."

After the initial excitement, Gu Heng gradually regained his composure.

While the rewards from Brother Tongzi are very generous, the challenges he sets out are equally difficult.

The electronic scale in the house is placed in front of the full-length mirror.

Gu Heng first took off his clothes until he was only wearing his underwear, and then stepped onto the electronic scale.

"boom!"

"93KG!" Gu Heng looked at the number displayed on the electronic scale. As expected, he had gained weight again.

He looked up and saw himself in the full-length mirror.

The once clearly defined jawline has been replaced by a double chin, and the body that used to have distinct muscle lines in school is now covered with fat, loose and flabby, with no figure to speak of.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Gu Heng felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

He hadn't looked at himself so closely in a long time.

Binge eating, frequent late-night snacks, sugary drinks, irregular eating habits...

In just a few years, Gu Heng, through these terrible eating habits, personally killed that once sunny and handsome young man in the river of time.

This can't go on...

'This shouldn't continue...'

Gu Heng stared at himself in the mirror, muttering to himself silently.

……

Return to the bedroom.

Gu Heng took out the laptop he had bought for 700 yuan at the second-hand market. Although the model was quite old, it was still very smooth for occasional research and study materials as long as he didn't play games.

Gu Heng really has a lot of affection for this computer.

When he first arrived in Beichun, he encountered setbacks everywhere he went in society.

For a time, he felt that his life was meaningless and even had suicidal thoughts.

Until one day, Gu Heng suddenly had an epiphany.

Whenever he felt that life was meaningless again, the image of the teachers in those tutoring materials would involuntarily come to mind.

It's astonishing that they knew many of the scenes, even if filmed, would be meaningless and destined to be skipped, yet they still filmed with such seriousness.

and so……

Whether life has any meaning is not important at all; living well and pleasing yourself should be the greatest meaning of life.

Gu Heng recalled those past events in his mind while waiting for the slow computer to boot up.

After the computer was turned on, Gu Heng didn't think about anything else and immediately started searching for information on internet platforms such as Baidu, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, and Keep to develop a weight loss plan that was as detailed and scientific as possible.

At the same time, Gu Heng made use of all available AI software to ensure that his weight loss plan would not pose any significant health risks.

Pay up when you need to, and pay when you need to.

When it comes to his future, Gu Heng won't be stingy with anything at this crucial moment.

……

Two hours later.

Gu Heng looked at the 5,000-word weight loss plan he had devised, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

At this moment, he realized that Brother Tong's last words were not an exaggeration.

According to Gu Heng's calculations using numerous artificial intelligence software programs, given his current physical condition, the theoretical maximum weight loss he can achieve in 30 days is 27 jin (18.5 catties), which is only 1 jin (0.5 kg) short of the 26 jin (13.5 catties) target given by Tongzi Ge.

What is the theoretical extreme value?
This is a situation that is simply impossible to achieve under normal circumstances!
"Fight!"

"It's just losing 26 pounds, isn't it?"

"bring it on!"

"Even if I have to chop off my hand, I'll still manage to get you to 26 pounds!"

After a long while, Gu Heng took a deep breath, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

When a ray of light shines into darkness, that light is guilty.

Now, the sudden appearance of Brother Tongzi is like this ray of light.

The thing that people who live in darkness fear most is not the absence of hope, but the fact that after seeing hope, they still end up sinking into darkness and unable to extricate themselves—that is true despair.

The next 30 days...

Not crazy, not live!
