Chapter 31: The Second & Third Sign-In Rewards
While eating, Xu Qianghua started to think about everything that had happened over the past 10 days, including Liu Anwei's graduation, which they celebrated together.
Last week, they spent the entire weekend exploring the city. Xu Qianghua and Liu Anwei went on a solo date she had requested, spending the whole day together doing typical couple activities. Later, they spent the night in a hotel room, where Liu Anwei wore various costumes, and they spent the whole time having sex.
During this time, the system provided sign-in rewards for the past two weeks. As expected, the rewards were not as impressive as the first sign-in reward he had received. The system gave him 5 billion luminas each time, totaling 10 billion luminas. Although this was a substantial amount, it couldn't compare to the Family Sign Token.
When he asked about this, the system responded:
[Host, what do you expect? When I told you that the sign-in would help you personally, I meant it.]
[And isn't this better than anything else? You can use the amount to buy more from the game mall when the time comes.] the system reasoned.
'Yeah, you are right,' Xu Qianghua nodded, realizing he had no counterargument.
'But where did you get this amount of money?' he asked, curious about how the system managed to obtain such a large sum of luminas, given the high security around currencies.
[Oh, I just used the unowned bitcoins around the world. You don't have to worry, I didn't sell all of them at once but sold them gradually over the week. Then, I put it in the reward roulette, which activated when you signed in.] the system explained.
'Oh, what other rewards are there in that roulette?' Xu Qianghua asked.

[I cannot tell you that, host, because that would ruin the fun] the system responded instantly.
'Okay,' Xu Qianghua gave up, knowing that the system wouldn't tell him if it didn't want to from the start.
'So now we have 120 billion luminas, not counting the money we earned from shorting the WayFlower Group and Jiang Group. After that, we could earn around 160 billion or less, depending on how fast the company responds tomorrow.'
Xu Qianghua thought as he started to plan how to use all of the money. He needed to spend everything in the game mall because, after the game merges, money will lose its value, and spirit stones will become the new currency.
Spirit stones are created in areas with concentrated spiritual energy, requiring a lot of spiritual energy to condense into one. These stones are a universal currency in the void and are widely accepted.
Yes, spirit stones are going to be the new currency because, when the game merges, all electronics will be destroyed due to the change, and the whole world will return to an era without any technology.
And Luminas, being a digital currency, will cease to exist after the game merges, so using them before then is the best option.
In his last life, many people tried to restore technology, but the world's will does not want humans to use electricity, nuclear power, or any other materials that clash with spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is bred in nature and needs nature to be pure.
After much research, scientists, later renamed spiritual scientists, created tools that use spiritual energy as the energy source. Because of its infancy, scientists had to use spirit stones as the primary method instead of extracting spiritual energy from the air.
"What are you thinking about, Brother Qiang?" Liu Anwei asked when she saw that Xu Qianghua was spacing out.
"Hmm? Nothing, I was just thinking about how much money we made this month," Xu Qianghua said.
"Yeah, we made enough money to live our entire lives without any worries and still have enough for two or three generations to spend," Liu Anwei said, nodding.
"And there will be more coming in from the two companies that we are going to short tomorrow," Liu Meiying commented as she listened.
"Yeah, but all of this will be spent in a few days because it will be useless after that," Xu Qianghua said.
"What do you mean, Brother Qiang?" Liu Anwei asked, confused.
"You'll know soon," he said, not explaining further because even if he did, it would not make sense and would only confuse them more.
"Okay," Liu Anwei said, still confused but trusting Xu Qianghua and not pressing further. She knew that whatever happened in the future, Xu Qianghua would protect them.
"For now, we just need to focus on getting as much money as we can and then wait until the time comes," Xu Qianghua said. Then he looked at Su Lian, who was standing next to him.
"Sister Lian, make sure that everyone has their terminal. If they don't have one, then we will buy one for them," he said. He wanted to ensure that all the subordinates Su Lian and others trusted were in the game.
'Hey, system, can I tell them to read a certain novel that is similar to our situation?' He asked the system.
He thought of this because he wanted them to have a certain understanding of what they should do in the future. He did not want them to be completely confused about what was going on. If he showed them a similar novel that had the game merging with the real world, then they could adapt better.
What Xu Qianghua did not know was that these kinds of novels were part of the world's will's plan. It used a little creation energy, which is the energy being used to create the game, to make these kinds of novels so that young people could adapt more quickly in the future.
In Xu Qianghua's last life, this worked, as young people who were avid readers were able to adapt more quickly and were able to explain the situation to the older population, who did not like to read these kinds of novels.
