Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

【=(╯＞д＜)╯⁽˙³˙⁾Brain storage place!】

"bite--"

"Host detected to be on the verge of collapse; trading system activated!"

Ye Chen's eyes darted around, but a crystal-clear voice echoed in his mind.

Is this a hallucination?

"boom--"

A loud slamming sound pulled Ye Chen back to reality.

"Ye Chen, you dare to daydream and slack off during work hours! 200 yuan deducted, and your performance bonus for this month is gone!"

A voice that sounded somewhat repulsive rang out.

Ye Chen looked up and saw his supervisor, Zhang Qiang.

"I'm sorry, Manager Zhang. You asked me to revise the plan yesterday, and I worked overtime until midnight. I didn't get much rest. You see..." Ye Chen forced a smile and explained.

He wanted to try to salvage the 200 yuan and the meager performance bonus.

After all, he was counting on his 3500 yuan salary to pay rent and car loan!

Although there was a heavy rain a few days ago and the car was washed away, thankfully the car loan is still valid!

༼༎ຶᴗ༎ຶ༽

So now every single one of them is very important to him.

With 200 yuan plus performance bonuses, it adds up to five or six hundred yuan, which is quite a sum for him.

As a result, the supervisor deducted the money without warning, and it would be a lie to say I wasn't upset.

"Don't give me that crap. Working overtime is a matter of efficiency, but spacing out during work hours is unacceptable!"

Zhang Qiang threw down a sentence and turned to leave, not giving Ye Chen a chance to ramble on.

Ye Chen opened his mouth, raised his hand halfway, but ultimately lowered it.

Last night, Zhang Qiang rushed over with the plan and asked him to revise it overnight, saying that the boss needed it urgently.

Saying this now is truly a case of crossing the river and then burning the bridge.

He knew Zhang Qiang's personality all too well; he was a typical skinflint.

Even mice have to be plucked a couple of whiskers before they leave.

It seems like the money is definitely going to be deducted. Now I'd better think about what takeout to order for lunch that's cheaper.

Just as Ye Chen picked up his phone to order takeout, he suddenly remembered the system notification sound from earlier.

System? Trading system?

Ye Chen suddenly spoke up somewhat nervously, "System, system, are you real or fake?"

Ye Chen kept his voice very low, afraid that he would be thrown out as a lunatic.

"Master, I'm here. How can I be of service to you?" A system notification sounded in his mind.

Upon hearing the voice again, Ye Chen jumped up from his workstation in a start!

"Holy crap, Ye Chen, what are you doing? You scared me!" A male colleague who was working diligently nearby said with great dissatisfaction.

He was clearly startled by Ye Chen's actions; his bottom almost slipped off the chair.

Ye Chen scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Uh, hehehe, sorry, I just saw a cockroach!"

"Ah, there's a cockroach! Where is it?" Ye Chen's female colleague on the other side also stood up hurriedly when she heard Ye Chen say this.

"Hehe, they've slipped away, it's alright, it's alright!" Ye Chen laughed and sat back down at his workstation.

Holy crap, there really is a system!

Ye Chen's heart was like a little train, clattering away non-stop—

This time, Ye Chen tried silently chanting in his mind: "System, system, open the panel!"

"Master, I'm here. The system panel is open!" The system's crisp voice rang in his mind.

call--

Thankfully, silently reciting it is also acceptable; otherwise, if I kept talking like a madman every day, I might end up in the neurology ward.

At the same time, a semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of Ye Chen!

The sudden appearance of the light screen startled Ye Chen. He quickly looked at his colleagues and, seeing that they didn't seem to have any unusual expressions, he felt relieved.

Ye Chen began to examine the contents of the light screen.

Trading System

Currently tradable item: Gold

[Items required for the transaction: No tradable items have been detected within a ten-meter radius]

[Unlock new items after completing 100 transactions!]

The text is short and easy to understand!

Ye Chen recognized every single word!

However, Ye Chen felt he still needed to think about the content further!

Does this mean he can exchange gold, but there's nothing around to exchange it for?

If the Chinese teacher didn't teach it wrong, that seems to be the understanding.

And it seems that completing 100 transactions unlocks new trade items!

As Ye Chen was pondering, Zhang Qiang approached again: "Ye Chen, there are a few parts of this proposal that the boss isn't satisfied with, he's already marked them. Revise them again and submit them to me before 12 o'clock!"

Zhang Qiang placed the documents directly on Ye Chen's desk and then turned to leave.

Ye Chen had never seen such a shameless person.

Just a moment ago they were insisting on deducting his pay, and now they have the nerve to ask him to revise the plan again!

"Manager Zhang, what about performance evaluation?" Ye Chen asked, turning around.

He was seizing every opportunity to salvage his meager performance.

"Don't try to bargain with me, revise the plan first!" Zhang Qiang sneered.

Ye Chen glanced at the plan on the table and sneered inwardly.

What the heck!

Let whoever wants to change this plan change it!

It was already 11 a.m., and Ye Chen picked up his phone, searched around, and finally ordered the cheapest dish on the entire internet: a 8-yuan braised pork intestine rice bowl.

As for whether such a cheap pork intestine rice bowl is safe to eat...

It should be fine, otherwise how could they allow it to be listed for sale!

Ye Chen got up and, while getting water, almost covered the entire office, but the system still couldn't detect anything that could be exchanged.

This is starting to cause some anxiety!

What can be exchanged for gold? That's gold!

If he could get a piece of gold, he would immediately throw his resignation letter in Manager Zhang's face!

Ye Chen drank a glass of water, and then took the opportunity to go to the toilet and wander around for a while.

But... but still no items could be exchanged.

Ye Chen suspected that this was a fake system, deliberately giving him empty promises!

Well, my dream of wealth is shattered for now!

Until we determine what can be exchanged for gold, I can't afford to lose this job with a monthly salary of 3500.

Ye Chen was once again overwhelmed by reality, and picked up the plan beside him.

Gold may be tempting, but the hardships of life must go on!

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang. Ye Chen glanced at the caller ID: Baby!

Of course, this baby is not that baby!

He's not married yet. This is his girlfriend, Chen Shuyuan, whom he's been dating since college!

The two had originally planned to get married right after graduation.

But after graduation, she said she would wait until she had a more stable job before considering it.

But once her job was stable, she said she wanted to buy a car to improve her life before considering anything else.

Ye Chen finally got a car on loan last month, but she said she would wait until she bought a house before considering it again.

She didn't want to wander, to be homeless...

They have been out of school for two years, and Ye Chen wants to give her a home, so he is working hard towards that goal.

Even more tragically, they hadn't been driving for very long...

My car was washed away by the flood a few days ago, leaving me with only the car loan!

For this reason, Chen Shuyuan hadn't spoken to him for the past few days, but now she's finally taken the initiative to contact him.

Ye Chen hurriedly grabbed his phone and went to the hallway to answer it, speaking gently, "Hello, baby!"

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, a deep female voice finally came through: "Ye Chen, let's break up!"
