Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

State Tower, located in Bangkok's most bustling business district and adjacent to the Chao Phraya River, is a more than 60-story skyscraper that is currently the tallest skyscraper in Bangkok and one of the most iconic complexes in Southeast Asia.

Its first to seventh floors are commercial and leisure areas.

Floors 8-20 are office space, where many multinational banks have their headquarters in Bangkok.

Floors 21-41 are apartment buildings.

Floors 42-62 are the hotel area.

63rd floor: Sirocco restaurant, specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. Its open-air terrace design makes it Bangkok's first "air-conditioned rooftop restaurant". The average cost per person is 1,500 baht (about 300 yuan), which is naturally high-end by today's standards.

64th Floor: Sky Bar, the world's first open-air rooftop bar, with a glass curtain wall that can rotate 360° and a glass observation deck that can be overhanged 3 meters above the main building. It uses aviation-grade tempered glass that can withstand 2 tons of pressure and is now a benchmark for engineering in Asia.

Sirocco Restaurant and Sky Bar are not only dining venues, but also important carriers of Bangkok's urban image.

This year, CNN named it one of the "Top 10 Romantic Restaurants in Asia," boosting the nighttime economy in the Sathorn district by 25%.

There are also floors above the 64th floor that are virtually inaccessible to outsiders.

The 97 Asian financial crisis devastated the country, and housing prices have been at their lowest point in recent years. However, signs of recovery are beginning to emerge, and like China, it will soon enter a period of rapid price increases.

Moreover, high-end luxury residences were the first to show signs of recovery.

The State Tower project that Zhou Hong chose is an example of this; the average house price in Bangkok is currently less than 15,000 baht (3,000 RMB) per square meter.

State Tower is completely different; it's even rumored to have luxurious multi-level units, with prices exceeding 13 baht per square meter.

Zhou Hong is currently in the sales hall on the first floor, listening to the saleswoman introducing the property in front of the model.

Zhou Hong casually chose a 230-square-meter, four-bedroom luxury apartment on the 41st floor.

In Southeast Asia and even South Asia, and in some Muslim countries, the number of bedrooms is often used to represent the level of luxury in a mansion.

This luxury mansion costs over $40, and Zhou Hong asked the saleswoman to prepare the contract.

After using up the 20 "insurance relief fund" limit, you still have an annual limit of 40 "public funds". Strictly speaking, these benefits are not your own money, and the limit will expire if you don't use them up this year.

Since you're buying a house, you can't settle for less; buy the best you can afford.

I'm quite excited just thinking about inviting my parents and brother and sister-in-law to Bangkok for a vacation in the future.

Soon, the saleswoman invited Zhou Hong into the lounge, where a purchase contract was placed in front of him.

Just as Zhou Hong was about to sign and make the payment, a "ding!" sound came from the depths of his soul.

"Ding! First home purchase milestone!"

"Milestone Reward: Heping World will cover 99% of the purchase cost (not exceeding annual salary)."

Ah, this...

It's true that I'm currently working for the system, you could say I'm part of the system, and the benefits are indeed high. But now it seems that what I've experienced is just the tip of the iceberg, and your benefits are just too exaggerated.

Are you sure this benefit is something a person can enjoy?

Buying your first house and the system reimburses 99% of the cost is practically free, isn't it?

However, Zhou Hong looked at the entry for "not exceeding the annual salary".

"I'll change the person in charge of the household." As he spoke, Zhou Hong took out Papa Ya's ID card.

Too conspicuous, the two little ones were left in the coffee shop next door by Zhou Hong, but their ID cards and passports were in Zhou Hong's hands.

The reimbursement limit for the first home purchase is no more than the annual salary. Currently, my daily salary is 4000, and my annual salary is 146 million US dollars, which is the maximum amount the system can cover.

That's quite a lot; it's over ten million RMB.

But milestones are rare and hard to come by. If you use them now, you might regret it later, even if you upgrade to the next level. Wouldn't the reimbursement limit be doubled?

Why not just buy a house in the names of the two kids? This would naturally be included in the "assistance" amount for the two kids.

Let's check how much of the reimbursement limit for rescuing the two little ones is left. Should it be calculated based on $20, or should it be recalculated based on $40?

If the limit remains at $20, Papa Ya's remaining $6 reimbursement limit will be exhausted, and then her "unemployment benefits" will be used up, followed by her "public funds" limit.

If the relief amount is calculated at $40, Papa Ya's reimbursement amount will be $26 left. This house, which is worth more than $40, will just consume her $20 "unemployment insurance".

Upon hearing Zhou Hong's words, the saleswoman paused for a moment, then took the completed contract and went to shred it.

A short while later, she returned with a new contract, a purchase agreement for the mansion under Papa Ya's identity.

Zhou Hong's current total funds are 40 in "public funds", 20 in "unemployment insurance", 18 US dollars in two upgrade bonuses, 5 in "relief funds", and his daily wage for the past few days.

During this period, I almost entirely relied on welfare benefits and didn't actually spend my own money.

Strictly speaking, the money that actually belongs to Zhou Hong now consists of his "upgrade bonuses" and "daily wages," as well as the initial $5 "relief fund," which have become his permanent assets.

However, Zhou Hong's actual available funds, including various welfare benefits, are around $80.

After signing the purchase contract, Zhou Hong immediately transferred the full amount of over 40 US dollars, leaving the saleswoman completely bewildered.

Zhou Hong was actually more confused, because not long after, the "RB" fund transferred more than 40 US dollars back to his US dollar account without missing a single penny.

How much of the reimbursement limit for Papa Ya's medical treatment is still available?

The original maximum amount was $260,000, which was calculated based on the 100-day pay for the "white service" phase.

But, it's not?

Zhou Hong thought blankly.

A thought suddenly popped into my head: Could this be a bug?

When a rescue mission occurs, you are in the "commoner" stage, and in a short time, you are upgraded to "white-clad".

Is the reimbursement amount for the "100-day allowance" being miscalculated within the system?

Especially during this period, the milestone originally saved Papa Ya alone, but suddenly Yuzuki Tikko was added, which was obviously very strange.

I've never seen a normal game determine so-called "milestone" missions in this way.

Just as he thought, if the system were viewed as a game, he would be the only player.

There was no closed beta or open beta. It's normal to encounter bugs when you're a solo player starting from scratch.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Hong said to the saleswoman, "I heard there's a penthouse area here?"

The saleswoman was stunned. Indeed, when people talk about the "National Tower," many say it has 64 floors.

In reality, floors above the 64th floor are simply off-limits to unauthorized personnel.

The National Tower has 68 floors.

Although floors 65-68 do exist, they are usually referred to as "Penthouse 1-4" in external promotion to emphasize their exclusivity and scarcity.

In the Penthouse area, a four-story building contains only eight duplex luxury homes, internally named "Sky Villas."

Each unit has an area of ​​over 800 square meters and features a private elevator lobby, a private swimming pool, and 360-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, making it a representative of top luxury residences in Southeast Asia.

However, the Southeast Asian financial crisis has only been over for a few years, and now Southeast Asia's top tycoons are also lacking confidence in investing in ultra-luxury mansions. Nearly a year after the launch, only one "sky villa" has been sold.

"Yes, sir, would you like to hear about the penthouses in the Penthouse area?" The saleswoman's spirits immediately lifted.

She only received a 0.1% commission on the fully paid luxury mansion, which was worth over $400.

Because this was a customer who came to the sales hall, even though she closed the deal, her commission wasn't high.

Despite this, she didn't have to say a word; it was no different from picking up money while lying down.

$400 or so is a month's salary for a white-collar worker in Bangkok.

Is this mysterious tycoon really going to buy a penthouse?

The saleswoman's heart pounded, and the person who bought a $40 mansion without batting an eye was certainly entitled to learn about the super mansions in the Penthouse district.

"Hey Lan, let me introduce you! You've never been to the Penthouse area, have you? I've shown it to people twice already!" A tall and beautiful woman walked over, last year's top saleswoman.

Clearly, the news of someone buying a $40 mansion in cash within half an hour of arriving at the sales office spread like wildfire, attracting the attention of many predatory birds of prey.

Nong Lan wanted to resist, but seeing the threatening look in the tall woman's eyes, she sighed and stepped back slightly.

"No, I just want this one..." Zhou Hong glanced at Nong Lan's name tag, "I want this Miss Nong Lan to introduce me to her."

Nong Lan at least doesn't seem to have been corrupted by this environment. She's a very pretty girl, and not very old. She probably just started working not long ago.

The heavily made-up turtledove that suddenly appeared out of nowhere is clearly a sea queen, the kind who offers sex as a free gift with the purchase of a house.

The top saleswoman paused for a moment, then gave a sly laugh, "Whatever!" and walked away with her head held high.

"Ah..." Nong Lan didn't react for a while, and then whispered, "Sir, thank you!"

……

Until Zhou Hong signed the contract, purchasing the best-located duplex penthouse in full for a total price of US$239 million.

The ultra-luxurious penthouse, spanning over 820 square meters and located on the 67th and 68th floors, is numbered 68-1. The specific name will be chosen by the owner.

After everything was settled, Nong Lan was still in a daze, feeling like she was dreaming.

At this moment, the executive lounge outside the 68-1 mansion.

The eight luxury homes in the Penthouse district each have an executive lounge similar to that of a five-star hotel outside the home. It's a corridor with a semi-circular floor-to-ceiling window in front of you, and you have to walk a few steps to reach the main entrance of the home.

The corridor is set up as an executive lounge, which is a reception area for guests that the host does not actually invite into the mansion. There is a bar and several waitresses at all times.

This service is provided by default and the cost is included in the high property management fee. Unless the owner hires a maid to manage the executive corridor, they will still have to pay the property management team a certain annual usage fee, since the lounge space does not occupy the area of ​​the mansion and is an additional ancillary part.

The administrative corridor features a thick carpet with dark patterns, and a long, arched, deep blue glass wall on the north side that stretches for tens of meters, creating an imposing atmosphere.

Standing in front of the glass wall, overlooking the river view and the cityscape of Bangkok, Zhou Hong felt a surge of pride rise within him.

There are several sofa booths by the window, with sofas of various shapes, such as semi-circular and long sofas. The booths are all different in shape, but without exception, you can lie back on the sofa and enjoy the dreamy river and city views outside the blue crystal floor-to-ceiling windows.

Papa Ya and Tissah were curiously touring the mansion. These kinds of mansions are all designed and luxuriously decorated by individual designers. With just a little tidying up and maybe some soft furnishing, they can be moved in directly.

In the executive lounge, standing smiling beside Zhou Hong was a handsome and distinguished middle-aged man.

Andy, head of the property department at CP (Challenge Property) Group, the developer of the State Tower project.

Zhou Hong was equally bewildered; the system had once again returned all 239 million US dollars.

Even if you've considered the possibility, when it actually happens, it still feels so unreal and makes you dizzy.

Zhou Hong only had about $80 on hand, which he transferred in three installments. After each transfer, the system reimbursed him in full.

"Mr. Hong, it seems you are very satisfied with Nong Lan. How about we transfer her to be your lounge manager from now on?" Andy said with a smile.

Zhou Hong turned around and glanced at the pretty young girl standing timidly to the side, then nodded: "Okay."

Andy then asked Nong Lan, "What do you think? Are you willing?"

Nong Lan was stunned. She was transferred to the Penthouse district as an executive lounge butler? That was a meteoric rise, an impossible dream even for top sales team leaders.

Because these lounge butlers provide professional services, their interpersonal relationships must not be chaotic. Another butler in the Penthouse area was hired by the wealthy homeowner himself.

Currently, having only sold two luxury homes in the Penthouse district, he can become the butler of one of the executive corridors.

"I...I'm willing!" Nong Lan said timidly, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't do it well..."

"It's nothing..." Zhou Hong smiled. Nowadays, he still prefers people who are simple and not too corrupted by society.

"Manager Andy, I've named this place 'Gate of Peace,' in both Chinese and Thai. I'll send you the lettering design via email later." Zhou Hong glanced at the large blank sign at the entrance of the administrative corridor.

Andy smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, Mr. Hong!" Although the name sounded a bit strange, he was rich and had a right to speak.
