"If you have technological innovation, all the automotive companies will be after you, Mr. Alvarez. Maybe you can open up to the automakers in the USA to join you."

'Felix is right. I should invent advanced technology instead of investing to make Alvarez Corp more powerful.'

Steve was pensive at his desk. Felix's suggestion kept ringing in his mind until it kept him up at midnight.

"I should attend a tech university and absorb the books there."

The following day, Steve rushed to one of the top tech universities in Los Angeles at six in the morning because he didn't want to disturb the students.

Steve was mesmerized by the structure of the building as he passed through the corridor. Although the building looked ancient, it was still majestic and elegant.

"Mr. Alvarez?"

Steve was surprised when someone called out to him. An older man wearing a blue shirt and long black pants approached him. He had a shaved head and a thin body and wore glasses.

"What are you doing here?" Profe

    "I agree. But you have to teach me twice as much. Do you agree?" 'Tsk! Besides being rude, she's a gold-digger! Is she the brightest student?' Steve cursed inwardly. He couldn't imagine dealing with Billie every day, second, minute. However, he couldn't refuse her to maintain his pride as a wealthy young businessman. "It doesn't matter if you don't agree because many other companies are willing to accept me after graduation." "Fine!" said Steve exasperatedly. "That doesn't matter to me. Most importantly, you must develop an innovative engine technology for my car. Understood?" "Not a problem." "After class, you come straight to my office. You can start working today without graduating from college." Billie nodded. Steve immediately went to his office. Arriving at his office, he sat in his chair and thought. "Building a car factory costs a lot of money, and I can't afford to waste Creativity Points on something useless," Steve muttered. "Is it better for me to get LM Corp

    Three months later.Thousands of camera flashes flickered as Steve prepared to cut the ribbon in front of an Alvarez Corp car factory. To his left and right stood Felix and Billie.Celebrities, models, singers, and other business people had come to celebrate the grand opening."Today, I'm inaugurating the Alvarez Corp factory building!" Steve cut the ribbon, prompting thunderous applause.Not far from the inauguration ceremony, a black sports car was on display. A top model stood beside it wearing a black dress with a thigh-slit, revealing her smooth, tan thighs.Steve explained the advantages of the car to guests and journalists. He deliberately invited many celebrities to promote his latest product to them. If one of them buys it and it becomes public knowledge, the car, Briavs, which stands for Brielle-Alvarez, will attract much attention."Only 500 of these cars will be produced," said Steve politely and charmingly. Therefore, within two hours, 500 cars were sold. Business people

    "Can you produce this vaccine?" Steve handed a document to a middle-aged man, a former doctor at one of the top hospitals in Los Angeles. "How do you know about me and my home address?" Caleb frowned in surprise. "That's not important right now." Steve looked at Caleb gently. "I'm here to restore your fame after you were banished from the hospital that once honored you because Kenny took your prescription." "How did you know about that? Because no one believed me back then!" Caleb was wide-eyed. The female doctor Steve had targeted was named Kenny. The woman's memories were absorbed when he used the Absorbent Item. "You don't need to know about that." Steve tried to change the subject of conversation. "I love justice. That's why I want to help you." Caleb snorted heavily. "I'm not interested in being a doctor anymore." "But the honor you'll receive will outweigh the one Kenny took from you. I've already formulated this vaccine, and you must develop it to make it viable for huma

    "What did you want to see me for?" Steve looked coldly at Jacob, who was sitting in front of him. They were now in Steve's office at Alvarez Corp."I want to work with you."Steve raised a bow. "Are you kidding me? Don't you hate me so much?"Jacob sighed heavily. "Right now, I need money for my younger sister's plastic surgery. Agatha advised me to work with you because you are her lover, the only person to help us." He lied."I see. How much money do you need?" "I don't need money.""So?" "I want to work in your office."Steve was wide-eyed. "Are you serious?"Jacob chuckled sadly. "Why are you so surprised? Does that sound weird? Ah, of course, it's extraordinary because I once hated you so much, even antagonized you. But now I'm begging you. Destiny is unpredictable, right?"Steve was concerned about Jacob's life now. Although he was still annoyed at his brother for tarnishing Sarah, that was due to the influence of Edgar's upbringing."Where's your father?""Do you mean our fat

    "Thanks for your advice," said Steve. "I'll leave the building of the new cell phone brand to you while I design the cell phone." "Can you make a cell phone?" Jacob mocked. "You shouldn't underestimate me. I'm an expert in any field." Steve smiled smugly. "Whatever you." After Jacob left, Steve stared at the closed door suspiciously. "Who is Lukas?" Although Steve was not close to Jacob, he knew his brother had no close friends. "I have to investigate." Steve called Billie to come to his office after class. After waiting for hours, the pierced woman finally arrived. "What did you call me for?" "Can you design a cell phone machine?" "I can't. I can only build car engines and stuff, not electronics." Steve snorted heavily. "If you need it, I have a friend who can design cell phones." "That's good." Steve smiled brightly. He knew Billie was reliable. "Tell him to come here. I need him." "Okay. I'll call her." An hour later, someone entered the room. "Alvarez, this is my f

    "Don't mind me, Steve." Sarah smiled as her ex-husband looked indecisive and depressed. Even though Steve loved her, Sarah didn't want him to choose her."You deserve the best," Sarah added."Sarah, I...." Steve seemed strangled, finding it difficult to express his feelings."Steve! Hurry up and do it!""You're noisy! Give me time to think!" Steve closed his eyes tightly, trying to consider. Brielle waited expectantly, making him smile happily. She was sure Steve would choose her because, during her stay with Steve, she had done her best to steal his heart."I choose Sarah," Steve replied firmly. "No matter what, I will love her. Because she was the only woman who took me in when I had nothing."Brielle's expression turned grim. A look of hatred was in her blue eyes. Despite her disappointment, Ellen smiled. "That's a good choice." Cassandra was satisfied with Steve's decision. In her opinion, Sarah was a good and loyal woman."Now, you listen carefully." Cassandra gave Brielle and

    "Finally, I can kill Alvarez without having to touch him." Marco laughed evilly while staring at the red transparent screen before him. "You're so amazing, System. I didn't think I could buy the item I've been dreaming of all this time." Marco had just purchased the item Blocking System to attack Steve. The item could only be bought if it reached Evil. "I've waited decades for this moment. Now I can watch the system virus eat away at those shitty system users like cancer." "If Steve dies, there will be no more competition for me. I can rule the world!" *** "Argh!" Steve grabbed his hair as the system's voice kept ringing in his ears. [You don't deserve to live!] [You should die] Steve spontaneously grabbed a vase of flowers on his desk and smashed it against his head. "Will you shut up, damn it?!" However, there was no sign that the flat female voice would stop. "What should I do?! I don't want to die and lose all my hard-earned wealth!" Steve was frustrated that he co

    Felix couldn't laugh like before at Steve's frustration. He was swept up in his boss's despair. "How did that happen?" Felix asked sadly. "Why did that system of wealth turn against you when it was supposed to bring you happiness?" "I suspect my system has a system virus." Steve surmised, staring coldly at the ceiling of his room. Felix was silent, not knowing what to answer as his knowledge of systems was minimal. He had never even heard of a wealth system in the world, although he had read about it in some novels and comics. "Then, do you know how to deal with the virus? Does the system work like a computer?" Felix asked seriously. He was determined to save Steve. Steve shook his head. "I don't know. If I knew how to solve it, I wouldn't have asked for your opinion," he replied exasperatedly. "You're right." Felix rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Even so, you must know how the system works." Steve reflected on his experience with the system. "The system's job is to give me miss

    Steve closed the last of the 100 books after spending two hours in the library. He absorbed all the knowledge with the help of the system’s item, so he didn’t even need to read. After taking in all the material, Steve started writing a proposal to pour out his ideas. "I hope CEO Rodriguez likes my ideas." He headed to Rodriguez Corp and approached the receptionist. "Can I meet Mr. Rodriguez?" Steve asked politely. The woman glanced at his appearance from head to toe. “Do you have an appointment with him?” "No, I don’t." "Sorry, but you can't meet him." "Please, I have something important to discuss with him.""You should leave and fix your appearance first. You look like a homeless person." Steve was annoyed but didn’t want to argue. He didn’t have much time. "What's going on?"*Steve instinctively turned toward the voice. A man in his 30s was looking at him curiously. "This gentleman wants to meet Mr. Rodriguez." "Why are you looking for him?" the man asked. "I’m

    The next day, Steve sat in his office at Anderson Corp, staring blankly at the transparent screen in front of him. His thoughts were tangled, his mind unable to focus. "How am I supposed to do this?" he muttered. For twenty minutes, he had been frozen in his chair, completely clueless about his next move. [Main Quest: Save Anderson's Daughter][Time Limit: Unlimited][Reward: Mystery]"I don’t even know who Anderson’s daughter is," Steve mumbled under his breath, rubbing his temple. A soft knock on the door broke his concentration. A beautiful woman entered, carrying several large gift boxes in her arms. She smiled politely as she approached him. “Excuse me, sir. Someone sent these as a congratulatory gift for your first day,” she said, placing the boxes on his desk. Steve’s brows furrowed. “Who sent them?” “I’m not sure, sir. Even the delivery person didn’t know,” she replied. A strange feeling crawled up his spine. Something about this didn’t feel right. “Thank you.

Finally, a promotion was within reach.“Are you promoting me to financial manager, as promised?” Adam asked eagerly.Anderson remained silent, taking another sip of his wine.“And what about me, sir?” Lewis chimed in. “A few months ago, you praised my work. Will I also be moving up?”“The Vice-CEO position is

'Carlson?'“Yes. I’ll transfer it tomorrow. For now, I can’t touch the funds because the boss’s assistant will be here today to review the restaurant’s income. I can’t manipulate the numbers right now.” “That’s disappointing.” Carlson suddenly stepped out, his face twisted in irritation. “What are you doing here?!” “I’m here to deliver coffee to Mr. Adam,” Steve answered politely. “What’s going on, Mr. Carlson?” Adam followed Carlson out. His sharp gaze landed on Steve. “Why are you standin

    Steve ignored his coworker’s earlier warning. “Probably just some workplace drama,” he muttered to himself. He didn’t have time for vague concerns. His focus was on completing his daily mission and earning enough System Coins to rebuild Alvarez Corp. It was 10 PM, and the restaurant was still buzzing with activity. Steve hustled between tables, delivering food and drinks to guests. Meanwhile, Adam watched him closely from his office monitor, a sly grin creeping across his face. “Step one is done,” Adam murmured, recalling his meticulously planned scheme. “Now, let’s see how far you can fall, Steve.” As he exited his office, a distinguished man entered the restaurant. The man, in his mid-50s, wore an expensive suit that exuded wealth and power. Adam immediately stepped forward to personally greet the guest and escorted him to the VIP area. “Steve!” Adam’s authoritative voice called out. “Yes, sir?” Steve quickly approached, balancing a tray in his hands. “This is Mr. Carl

    Steve held a small chip, no bigger than a memory card, in his hand. His face lit up with triumph as he reflected on everything he had endured to acquire it. It had been a month since that bloody incident that almost cost him his life. "With this, I don’t have to fear anyone anymore," he murmured, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. "Now I can focus on rebuilding Alvarez Corp from scratch." But his thoughts were restless. The journey was far from over. The world he lived in—a battlefield of competition and betrayal—wouldn’t let him climb back up so easily. "System, give me a mission to earn money. I need funds to restart my company." [Understood, Mr. Alvarez.] A transparent screen popped up before him, displaying a new mission.

That’s humiliating.” [Starting from the bottom is essential for you to gain System Coins and re

    Stephen entered Alan’s underground base, flanked by ten highly trained bodyguards. Alan approached him just as Stephen stepped out of the elevator. “So, how did it go? Did you manage to extract the chip or system from his head?” “Yeah. Here it is.” Alan handed him a small box containing the chip. Stephen took it, opened it, and smirked with satisfaction. “Now, return my daughter,” Alan demanded firmly. “I’ll return her after I see Steve’s corpse,” Stephen replied coldly. “That wasn’t our deal!” Alan protested. “You seem nervous. Don’t tell me you’ve been colluding with Steve?” Stephen accused confidently. “If you want to see your daughter, just show me his dead body. That should be easy enough, shouldn’t it?” Alan clenched his fists in frustration. “You’re as much trouble as your father. Fine. Follow me.” Stephen trailed Alan into an operating room. Alan pulled back a sheet covering Steve’s lifeless body. His face was pale and still. Stephen reached out to check the

    Stephen sipped his coffee, his sharp eyes locked on the monitor in front of him. The screen displayed a chaotic shootout between Steve, Alan, and a group of armed men. A sly smirk curled on his lips. “I’m certain Alan will pull it off,” Stephen chuckled darkly. If Alan managed to seize Steve’s system, he would have no rivals left, and his father’s revenge would finally be complete. ‘With this, I’ll reclaim my title as the richest man in the world,’ he thought smugly. He then turned his attention to the woman tied up beside him. Her hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was sealed with duct tape. “What do you think? Will Steve win and save you, or will he die a miserable death at Alan’s hands?” Stephen sneered at Cassandra. Cassandra squirmed against her restraints, mumbling angrily through the tape. Her furious expression made Stephen laugh mockingly. “Speak up! I can’t hear you, idiot,” he taunted. ‘You bastard!’ Cassandra cursed silently. ‘I need to escape before Steve
