After reading all the intel, Lin Yang had a goal.
After washing up, he first went downstairs to eat breakfast at the community entrance, then found the self-service vending machine mentioned in the intel.
There were currently five bottles of iced black tea left inside, at 3 yuan a bottle.
Lin Yang scanned the code directly, paid, and then the iced tea bottles were pushed out of the machine one by one.
He bent down to retrieve all the iced black tea from the pick-up slot, uncapped them, and scanned each one with his phone.
After scanning the code, it automatically redirected to the official mini-program for a lucky draw.
The prizes included 'Thank You for Your Patronage,' a 0.68 yuan red packet, 'Another Bottle,' an 888 yuan red packet, and a family island trip valued at 9,999 yuan.
After scanning the first bottle cap for the draw, the cursor constantly jumped between these prizes, finally stopping on 'Thank You for Your Patronage.'
The second bottle cap was the same.
The third bottle cap was still the same.
It wasn't until the fourth bottle cap that he won the family island trip.
Lin Yang successfully claimed the prize after entering his personal information; he could depart anytime within six months with one week's advance notice.
With the grand prize in hand, he didn't let go of the last bottle cap either.
After clicking the draw, the cursor constantly jumped between the prizes.
"Congratulations, you've won the second prize, an 888 yuan cash red packet."
"Holy smokes!"
Although 888 yuan wasn't a lot, getting it from an iced black tea bottle cap was quite unexpected.
One should know there were only five second prizes nationwide.
The last five bottles of iced black tea in the self-service vending machine not only contained the sole first prize but also a second prize, which was simply unbelievable.
With the island trip secured, Lin Yang found Building 7, Unit 601 in the Jinling Community, which was the haunted house he had bought for 180,000 yuan.
Originally, he had bought it just to get the demolition compensation, but he never expected it to hide 20 gold bars inside, which was a pleasant surprise.
A thick layer of dust had accumulated outside the house door, indicating no one had lived there for a long time.
The murder case back then caused such a stir that it couldn't be rented out or sold, remaining vacant until Lin Yang bought it many years later.
Lin Yang inserted the key into the lock, turned it to the right, and with a "click," the door opened.
The moment he pushed the door, dust flew off it, instantly filling the air.
Lin Yang quickly covered his mouth and nose, waiting until the dust dispersed before walking in.
Having been uninhabited for a long time, the items inside the house had no human touch and were already dilapidated.
Coupled with the fact that a murder had occurred there, it sent shivers down one's spine.
Lin Yang looked around to locate the bathroom.
As soon as he entered, he found that the entire bathroom ceiling had detached from the ceiling and fallen to the floor.
There was also a black plastic bag on the ceiling, seemingly containing something.
He reached out and touched it; the plastic bag immediately shattered, and a glint of gold was revealed.
"Holy smokes, it's all gold!"
The intel was accurate; there was gold hidden in the ceiling, but due to the passage of time, the ceiling had fallen under the heavy pressure of the gold.
If it weren't for the system intel, Lin Yang definitely wouldn't have come to this house.
At that time, who knows who these gold bars would have benefited.
Lin Yang pushed aside the aged and broken black plastic bag remnants, and all the gold inside was revealed.
They were all gold bricks the size of playing cards, about half a centimeter thick.
They felt heavy in his hand, each weighing 100 grams, totaling 20 pieces, with a total weight of 2000 grams.
He put all the gold bars into his bag and left.
He took out his phone, opened the map, searched for gold shops that recycle gold, and then took a taxi directly there.
These gold shops were not large and had limited funds, so Lin Yang sold three or four gold bars at each shop, visiting a total of six gold shops to sell all of them.
The shops were different, but the recycling price was the same at 700 yuan per gram, so the 2000 grams of gold bars sold for a total of 1.4 million yuan. Adding the money left after buying the house, he had over 1.5 million yuan in total.
All this money was invested in the stock market to buy Yushu Technology, with a 20% daily return for a week, he could earn a lot in five days.
However, before that, he needed to open an account.
Lin Yang first downloaded the corresponding securities company's app, then registered an account, linked his bank card, and after facial recognition, he could transfer money in to buy the stocks he was interested in.
However, because it was Sunday, the market was closed, so he had to wait until 9:15 AM on Monday for the market to open.
Now, the daily intel system had been upgraded to a weekly intel system.
Intel was pushed once a week.
Now that things were mostly handled, it was time to start enjoying life.
Sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, buying things based on whether he liked them, without even needing to look at the price.
He just needed to wait a few more days for this to come true.
The Jinling Community demolition announcement would be released in eleven days, at which point he would receive ten times the demolition compensation.
With the principal plus earnings totaling around 50 million yuan, paying back the 2 million yuan loan would leave him with 48 million yuan.
His stock principal was 1.5 million yuan, with a 1.488 times return, it would be around 2.23 million yuan, adding up to 3.73 million yuan.
On Friday, there was a blue payment software bug where everything had a 20% discount. By using the bug to transfer money between his main and alternate accounts, he could earn about 750,000 yuan per transfer, so 60 transfers would be around 45 million yuan.
In other words, his personal assets would exceed 100 million yuan in at most half a month!
From having nothing to assets exceeding 100 million in half a month, probably few people could match this speed.
"Buzz buzz..."
Just then, his phone received a message.
It was a reminder that his flight was scheduled to depart at 10:30 AM tomorrow.
He had filled in his personal information after winning the 3YC 30th-anniversary lucky draw last night.
The official provided airfare and accommodation to collect the prize on-site.
He would then receive the looking up u8, valued at millions, which he could drive back home when he returned to his hometown.
Just as he was about to put his phone away, it vibrated again, and he received another message.
It was from Chen Qingqing.
"Lin Yang, thank you for your reminder that saved my restaurant from a serious accident, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. To express my gratitude, how about I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"
"I'm going to Shenzhen tomorrow. Let's talk when I get back."
"Alright, I'll contact you in a few days."
...
The next morning.
The first thing Lin Yang did after waking up was to transfer 1.5 million yuan into his securities account, leaving only a few tens of thousands for daily expenses.
After the market opened, he bought all of Yushu Technology, then had breakfast and took a taxi to the airport to go to Shenzhen.
That evening, he successfully received a looking up u8, valued at millions, in Shenzhen.
This was 3YC's luxury brand, with over 1200 horsepower, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.7 seconds, and a total vehicle weight of 4 tons, like a massive tank, both mighty and imposing.
The two most unique features of this car were its ability to turn on the spot and float on water for half an hour.
Before, he had only spent 54,800 yuan to buy a used car to participate in the lucky draw, and the used car could almost be resold at its original price.
In other words, it was almost equivalent to getting a million-dollar luxury car for free.
Why would he need a bicycle when he got something for free? Lin Yang was satisfied with every aspect of this car.
He didn't even stay overnight in Shenzhen, eagerly driving the car back to Xing City that same night.
The distance of over a thousand kilometers took him an entire night, arriving only at around 8 AM the next morning.
This was during peak hours, with an endless stream of people commuting, taking children to school, and buying groceries.
"Beep beep..."
Several people were standing at the community entrance, blocking the car's entry, so Lin Yang had to honk to alert them.
Upon hearing the horn, everyone immediately dispersed to the sides of the road, leaving a path in the middle.
At this moment, an off-road vehicle, like a tank, drove through.
The car's lines were rigid yet smooth, and its unique mecha-style design exuded a strong sense of technology and dominance.
Sunlight shone on the car body, and the metallic luster shimmered, instantly attracting the attention of passersby.
