You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 2 Dream Guarantee System
Her name is Liu Mengyuan, and she is a college classmate of Lu Yu, who is in the School of Software Engineering and she is in the School of Multimedia Arts.

At this time, Liu Mengyuan was concentrating on copying a white tabby cat on the lawn with a sketch pen.

Lu Yu took a look at her drawing with a complicated expression.

This thing she drew can't be said to be exactly like a cat, but it can also be said to have nothing to do with it. Her artistic bacteria is still so abstract, it makes me cry.

Lu Yu remembered that he met her during a club activity in his sophomore year.

Both of them joined the school's game research club and participated in that year's college game development competition.

Originally, this club was a makeshift team and no one was optimistic about this team.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan unexpectedly showed amazing potential in this competition. The horizontal level-passing game "Cat's Way" developed by the two of them eventually won the third prize.

Although the cat drawn by Liu Mengyuan had strange lines and was too unorthodox, it unexpectedly fit the game's anti-traditional gameplay and tone, and ultimately conquered the judges of the competition.

After winning the award, the two of them became more and more in sync with each other in the club. For the first time, Lu Yu felt that there was a girl who could resonate with him so perfectly.

Just when their relationship was about to develop beyond friendship, everything came to an abrupt end because of her sudden dropout from school.

It was also during this period of suspension that all kinds of rumors about her began to spread.

Only then did Lu Yu know that Liu Mengyuan was the daughter of Ms. Liu Lan, chairman of Liu Holding Group.

Liu Group is a Fortune 500 company operating across multiple fields. Youyi Company, the second largest gaming company in China by market value, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liu Group. Youyi Company is also the organizer of the game development competition.

Because of this, some people in the club started to gossip that Liu Lan had bought the prize for "Cat's Way". Lu Yu naturally couldn't stand it, and after a big quarrel with the other party, he angrily quit the Game Research Club.

After taking a half-year leave of absence, Liu Mengyuan returned to campus. He did not return to the Youyan Society, but attended classes regularly.

She moved into a private apartment off campus, and was escorted by several female staff members in suits, who forbade her from contact with any other classmates, especially those of the opposite sex.

This made Lu Yu suddenly realize that the two people's circles and life trajectories could never intersect again, and Liu Lan wanted to appoint Liu Mengyuan as the successor of the group.

In addition, after entering his senior year, he also faced the pressure of work and study. The two lines that briefly intersected became parallel again...

After graduation, as his career developed, Lu Yu also walked among the flowers in the world of fame and fortune, but he never stopped beside any flower and remained single until he was in his thirties.

For some reason, every late night, when he looked out the window at the bright lights and nightlife of Jianghai City, the figure of this woman always lingered in his mind and could not be shaken off.

After living a new life, the person who appeared in his dreams countless times appeared before him again, and the fire in Lu Yu's heart was ignited again.

If it was the same day in his previous life, he probably wouldn't be here, but would be squeezing into the library with Fatty Chu, holding a piece of bread.

But now, the timeline of fate has changed!

Lu Yu pretended to be calm and slowly walked towards the other party.

Liu Mengyuan tore off the manuscript paper on the drawing board, put a new one on it, and started drawing.

At this time, there were nine drawings stacked beside her, almost every one of them was equally abstract and showed no improvement.

Lu Yu was just wondering what the point of this mechanical repetition was, but then he saw her tenth drawing, and his style had clearly improved a lot, at least the cat's appearance was more detailed.

This progress was so abrupt that Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, in front of Liu Mengyuan, the system light screen lit up and prompted:

[Simple sketching practice, proficiency point +1]

[Congratulations, the host's ten practice sessions have triggered the guaranteed bonus, and the art skill "Simple Sketch" has been directly upgraded to Lv2]

"This system really works!"

There was a glint of excitement in her beautiful dark eyes, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she clenched her fists slightly.

"Living again, this time, I will never be a useless girl again!"

Yes, Liu Mengyuan, like Lu Yu, is also a reborn time traveler.

Although to outsiders, her identity as the daughter of the Liu Group can be said to be that she was born in Rome.

But, perhaps it was the price of being born into a wealthy family. Although her name was Meng Yuan, almost all her dreams in this life were daydreams.

Her growth experience can be summed up in one sentence: she is not good at anything, but she is the best at eating.

When she was young, she was trained by her mother Liu Lan as the heir to the group.

At the age of four, he started learning English, but it took him more than half a year to recognize all 26 English letters.

At the age of five, she was practicing calligraphy, but her overly abstract and distorted symbols caused her to cry to the old professor, "I can't teach this child anymore. If I let her continue writing, it would be an insult to the art of calligraphy."

At the age of six, he practiced playing the piano, which caused his piano teacher, who was both virtuous and talented, to lose his pitch. He had to quit the art world and rest for half a year before he recovered.

Soon after, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, ballet, literature, singing, kendo... were all abandoned.

This made mother Liu Lan's defense break down:
"Why did I give birth to such a stupid girl like you? If you were any good at all, you wouldn't be completely useless."

"Mom, I can eat. Being able to eat is a blessing."

Young Liu Mengyuan stuffed macarons into his mouth desperately, puffing up his little cheeks.

When his daughter turned eighteen, Liu Lan wanted to send her to an Ivy League school in the United States to improve her academic performance. Her academic performance didn't matter; Liu Lan could use his wealth to ensure her graduation. However, the art teacher who taught Liu Mengyuan painting accidentally said:
"Chairman, don't be sad. Miss still has some artistic talent. With a little care, she can still create art that can be understood by the humans on this planet. Perhaps..."

This gave Liu Lan hope, and because she was worried about her going abroad, she sent her to Jianghai University, which has the best art college in the country.

However, after four years of study, her art of making "paper" was still blank.

After graduating from university, Liu Mengyuan began to rotate internships in the group's companies. However, no matter which department she was in, Liu Mengyuan could always bring her performance to the bottom of the group, and the bosses of various departments were unresponsive to her business training.

The aging Liu Lan gave up struggling and simply handed over the group to professional managers.

Loser, loser, vase, drag on the family, waste, the ruiner of the Liu Group...

Liu Mengyuan, who is in his early thirties, has already been burdened with labels and experienced all kinds of ridicule in the business world.

But now, everything is different!
Because she was reborn, she was bound to the [Dream Guaranteed System]!
[Are you worried about being a loser? It's okay! Any effort deserves respect and should be rewarded.]

[This system will guarantee the host's life dream. As long as the host repeatedly practices a certain skill, they will definitely improve! Even if it is mechanical and boring repetition, it doesn't matter.]

[The so-called skills can be work skills or life skills. ]

[No detours, no wasted effort, day after day, there will be progress! ]

【Burn your youth and fight, girl! 】

Through the sketching experiment just now, Liu Mengyuan verified the functionality of the system, which made her extremely excited.

However, in order to truly bind to the system, she still needs to complete the tasks during the system trial period:
[Probationary period task: Join a company within three days.]

【mission rewards:】

【First, the system is officially bound to the host.】

[Second, the system will open the Dream Mall, where you can pay proficiency points to purchase various talents.]

[Third, the system will enable a new feature: other company employees can also earn proficiency points and improve their skills. The initial learning rate of employees is 10% of the host's, and the proficiency points earned by employees will be returned to the host.]

[Consequence of failure: The system will be unbound from the host.]

[Note: If the company selected by the host goes bankrupt due to poor management, the system will also automatically unbind it, so please consider your choice carefully.]

Liu Mengyuan curiously clicked on the mall preview.

It turns out that in this system, basic abilities are practiced through guaranteed proficiency, while what is sold in the Dream Mall are some [Talents] that can add icing on the cake.

For example, the [color sensitivity] of a painter, the [sweet vocal cords] of a singer, the [taste judgment] of a chef, the [dexterity of fingers] of a pianist, and even the [keen reaction] of an e-sports player.

These are things that you are born with. If you don’t have them, you will never get them no matter how hard you practice.

Seeing the dazzling array of talent scrolls, she was almost dazzled.

These were all the regrets she had wanted to try in her previous life but couldn't get!
She would practice hard and study hard to see who in the group's board of directors and the dandies in the business community would dare to say that she was the good-for-nothing girl of the Liu family!

However, when she wanted to continue practicing sketching, she felt a little dizzy and her hands were sore, so she had to stop.

It seems that although the system does not limit the number of times she can practice, a person's energy and time are inherently limited.

She still needs to plan carefully and decide where to focus her energy in life.

There was a sound of rustling grass behind him. Liu Mengyuan turned his head and met Lu Yu's eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, Liu Mengyuan's heart was filled with emotions and his heart was beating fast.

Although, there are many regrets in Liu Mengyuan's youth that has passed away.

But Lu Yu is undoubtedly her biggest regret.

In her previous life, many years after graduation, she was alone and rejected all the wealthy marriages introduced by her mother.

Years of blows have made her life increasingly decadent, and she wanders around like a wandering soul with disheveled hair all day long.

Liu Lan, who loved her daughter dearly, had no choice but to keep her under house arrest in the villa, but it was of no use.

At the darkest moment of his life, Liu Mengyuan suddenly remembered—

In her limited life, the only thing that could be considered fulfilling was making games with Lu Yu and winning awards. This was also her happiest time, and she finally realized who she really cared about.

The news of Lu Yu's sudden death from her classmates was the last straw that broke the camel's back. She knew it was too late...

"Long years no see."

Lu Yu spoke subconsciously and immediately realized that he had said something wrong.

In the current timeline, he and Liu Mengyuan hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Oh no, he was about to reveal his identity as a time traveler!

Unexpectedly, Liu Mengyuan was completely unaware of his mistake. He smiled slightly, revealing his cute dimples, and replied in the same tone:
"Long years no see."

The morning light sprinkled on the girl's long black hair, outlining a faint golden halo, which made Lu Yu's heart skip a beat.
