Peninsula: Aiming for a Grand Slam

Chen Jixian sat on the sofa.

He didn't turn on the light.

The only light in the room came from his phone screen and his eyes.

He needs to do some accounting.

The system estimates the cost of the next acceleration package to be 5 RMB.

What about next time?

And the time after that?

The system told him that the price of the acceleration package increases with each use and with each upgrade.

He didn't dare to think any further.

But he had to think further.

Because he had no money.

A monthly living expense of 60 Korean won leaves less than 1000 RMB after deducting food and transportation.

There was a total of 2000 yuan in the bank card.

That was all his savings.

What can it do?

Enough to buy 6% of the acceleration pack.

Chen Jixian took a deep breath.

He needs to know exactly how much money he has.

Everything that could be exchanged for money—cell phones, computers, game cartridges, memory cards, even the shoes he was wearing—was included.

He opened the system panel.

"Help me take stock of my assets."

[Assessing user assets...]

The panel flashed.

Then a line of text pops up.

[Total disposable assets of the user: 2,712,000,000 Korean Won.]

Chen Jixian thought he had misread it.

Billion?

He counted them once.

Two billion seven billion, zero, one million two hundred thousand won.

"...Are you fucking kidding me?"

The system doesn't joke around.

"Where would I get 2.7 billion? Even if you sold me, it wouldn't be a fraction of it!"

[Expand for details.]

Chen Jixian stared at the panel, his pupils dilating in shock.

The system began to inventory his assets one by one.

Inventory of Electronic Products Assets

Mobile phone, laptop (basic configuration), 20000mAh power bank, Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Sword, Super Mario Odyssey.

[Estimated total value of electronic products: approximately 48.5 Korean won]

2200 yuan.

Okay.

Chen Jixian nodded. Compared to selling an account worth over a thousand yuan for a mere 500 yuan, it wasn't outrageous.

[Textbook assets are being inventoried...]

Korean history textbooks for senior high school students, Korean history study guides for senior high school students, TOPIK past exam papers, TOPIK vocabulary book, university application guide (2021 edition), TOEFL reading materials, TOEFL listening materials, etc.

Total estimated value: 17000 Korean won.

78 yuan?

Chen Jixian stared at the screen, so angry he wanted to curse.

These teaching materials cost over 100,000 yuan when purchased, but the system calculated it to be 17,000 yuan.

too dark!

Also.

A note has been added after the textbook on Korean history: "This textbook is suspected of containing controversial content; the estimated price may be inflated, and the actual transaction price is likely to be less than 500 Korean won."

He froze for a moment.

The dog system is surprisingly accurate at judging people.

The ransacking continues.

Inventory of Celebrity Collectibles

Liu Zhimin photocard, Zhang Yuanying photocard, Minatozaki Sana photocard, Irene photocard (regular version), Irene photocard (signature information: 20201022)

Total estimated value: 34500 Korean won

[Note: The autographed information on the Irene photocard (signed edition) involves negative events, resulting in poor liquidity. It is recommended to liquidate it as soon as possible.]

More than 1500 yuan.

made money.

Chen Jixian initially bought these cards as investment products, and thankfully he didn't lose money.

As for that one—

Signed photocard from October 22, 2020.

The system considers it to have depreciated.

He doesn't think so.

All the other photocards and albums combined are not as important as this.

"So, it seems I'm quite wealthy?"

Chen Jixian found joy amidst hardship.

That's not wrong. They don't feel bad about selling their parents' money! The cost of textbooks and electronic products is all borne by the family.

Inventory of Real Estate Assets

Chen Jixian: ? ? ?

When did he acquire real estate? Did his family secretly buy him a property?

Are college graduates pressured to get married? Graduate students are expected to have children?

[UN Village Apartment, Gangnam-gu, Seoul]

Fuck!

Chen Jixian was furious: "Isn't this the property I'm living in now, my aunt's house?"

This counts?

System, you're not human!

So that's how he acquired his 27 billion yuan fortune! What a waste of his emotions.

[System determination: The user has long-term possession and use of this property, establishing a de facto control relationship.]

Current market value: Approximately 27 billion Korean won.

Chen Jixian stared at the screen, feeling his blood pressure soaring.

"This isn't my house!"

The user has resided in the property for more than 6 consecutive months without paying rent. Based on the principle of "possession equals ownership," the system has included the property in the scope of disposable assets.

"What kind of bullshit principle is this? You made that up yourself, didn't you?"

The system is not responding to irrelevant questions; users are advised to monetize their accounts as soon as possible.

Chen Jixian took a deep breath.

He had a picture in his mind—after he sold his aunt's house, his biological mother flew over from China, and the first second she saw him at the airport, she took off her slippers.

The second scene—he kneels before his aunt, pleads guilty with a bundle of thorns on his back, and vows to mend his ways!

The scene was so realistic that it sent a chill down his spine.

"It cannot be sold."

【reason? 】

"My mom would kill me... Forget it, selling someone else's property would land me in jail, and if I go to jail I can't participate in the competition."

[...The listing of the real estate is temporarily suspended.]

Chen Jixian breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily.

It's not over.

Inventory of Long-Term Realizable Assets

Chen Jixian is confused.

What does that mean?

[Left kidney - Estimated value: 2 million Korean won.]

[Note: Currently in good health, expected to sell for 2.2 million.]

[Suggestion: Sell one first, keep the other as a backup.]

Fuck!

"I'm not selling!"

【reason? 】

"How am I going to buy an iPhone if I sell myself... wait, how am I going to pee if I sell myself?"

The kidneys are not responsible for urination; that function is performed by the bladder.

"..."

Does the user need to know the cost estimate for their bladder?

"roll!"

Chen Jixian remained silent for a while.

He offered an excuse: "You can't become a tennis master with only one kidney. Are you sure you want to cash in?"

【…】

The system is currently undergoing re-evaluation...

The assessment is complete.

[Conclusion: The kidneys are a core component of the "Tennis Master System" and are irreplaceable. Removing them would severely impact user performance and the system's long-term benefits.]

[The kidney monetization plan has been ruled out and permanently archived.]

Chen Jixian breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the bladder is still under evaluation.

"Neither the bladder nor the bladder will work."

【reason? 】

"Your bladder's gone, so you pee in your pants while playing tennis?"

What a strong will despite physical disability!

He's practically a figure who moved the United Nations; even Federer would offer him a cigarette when he came.

【…】

[Solution excluded, permanently archived.]

Chen Jixian, what exactly did you protect?

At least, the property was saved, and the left kidney was saved as well.

[User assets have been inventoried]

Total: 2.7012 billion Korean won

Chen Jixian: Hehe.

You know it without even calculating.

27 billion is in real estate.

Only 120 million belonged to him.

Before he could even feel sorry for himself, the panel flashed again.

[User behavior analysis: Actively calculating replaceable resources, intentionally exploring career possibilities.]

[Conclusion: Training motivation – extremely high!!!]

[No ongoing training detected; backhand training package automatically attached.]

Chen Jixian: ? ? ?

[Training Requirements: Complete 10000 backhand shots within 10 days. Upon completion, your backhand attribute will increase by 1.]

Chen Jixian stared at the countdown and remained silent for three seconds.

Then he cursed.

"Hold."

I'm not criticizing the system.

It's self-deprecation.

While he was doing the calculations, he was thinking about "how far a +1 forehand, or even a +10 forehand, could take him."

The system detected that not a single word was wrong.

But what he didn't expect was—

That damn system doesn't even give him a moment to breathe.

The forehand was barely in place when the backhand came.

Ten days.

Ten thousand backhand shots.

He can't even do a backhand.

"Wait, I have class tomorrow."

[System suggestion: Skip class.]

[If the deadline is exceeded, an acceleration package will be automatically purchased – selling the property in UN Village!]

"...You fucking bastard."

He glanced at his right hand.

"Backhand..."

Ten days later, the system must not activate the acceleration package.

Because next time, he won't be able to afford to pay it back.
