Just when Shen Lei was at a loss, he suddenly heard a melodious voice ringing in his mind.
“Ding dong, considering that the master's past life has been too constrained, the 'Free Life System' is now activated, and the system has successfully chosen its master!
Every time the master indulges in pleasure and does as he wishes, causing others to harbor resentment (or what can be called negative emotions), he will be rewarded!”
Upon hearing the system's pleasant voice, Shen Lei felt extremely elated.
Whether in his previous life or in this timeline, his original life had been too stifling; he truly needed to live freely!
In this life, he would rather go mad than engage in internal strife; he would only drain others, never himself.
After a while, Shen Lei noticed that the system had not issued any new starter pack, so he couldn't help but ask, “System, where's the starter pack?”
The system replied, “Master, only when you act freely and cause others to harbor resentment will the starter pack be unlocked!”
Seeing the sky brightening, Shen Lei got up to wash up, changed his clothes, and rode his little electric scooter to work.
On the way, he happened to encounter Lu Jie, who was waiting for him in a luxury car.
Lu Jie was the boss of Shen Lei's wife, Xie Mei Lan, and now owned an investment company, worth over a hundred million.
He was impeccably dressed and looked very arrogant.
He blocked Shen Lei's path and said with a condescending expression, “The reason you've been dragging your feet and refusing to divorce Xie Mei Lan is all for money, right?
To facilitate her divorce, I’m willing to give you a sum of money!”
In the original timeline, Shen Lei felt insulted and wanted to hit Lu Jie, but he was no match for him and ended up being humiliated against the car.
In this timeline, Shen Lei looked at Lu Jie with a playful expression and said, “What industry are you in, Lu?”
Lu Jie was taken aback for a moment and replied, “I’m in investments.”
Shen Lei chuckled and said, “I think you look more like someone dealing in second-hand goods or collecting junk!”
Lu Jie’s expression darkened as he said, “Shen Lei, what you just said is an insult to your wife, Xie Mei Lan.”
Shen Lei secretly sneered; a woman like Xie Mei Lan, who was mentally unfaithful and loved wealth, had no right to be his wife anymore.
Let the insults fly!
He looked at Lu Jie with a mocking expression and coldly said, “What I said is the truth.
I've been with Xie Mei Lan since college; over the past ten years, we’ve had at least three intimate encounters every week, so you can imagine, she’s been through a lot.
By the way, you might not know this, but she just had a miscarriage; she’s just lost a life, clearly a haunted house.
Who would have thought that someone like you, looking all refined, would be so interested in a second-hand house where someone has died?
Also, you’re just a pawn, and I don’t know what you’re so proud of!”
Thinking about how his wife, Xie Mei Lan, had unilaterally aborted their child without his consent, Shen Lei could no longer forgive her.
He would never be like the old Shen Lei, begging Xie Mei Lan to maintain their broken marriage.
After dealing with Lu Jie, he would divorce Xie Mei Lan.
Even though he planned to divorce that woman, he wouldn’t make it easy for Lu Jie either.
Lu Jie had originally viewed Xie Mei Lan as a goddess, but after hearing Shen Lei's words, he felt as if he had just bitten into something disgusting.
Previously, Xie Mei Lan always appeared before Lu Jie as a glamorous office lady,
but at that moment, Lu Jie’s mind was filled with images of Xie Mei Lan being manipulated into various shapes by Shen Lei.
Thinking about Xie Mei Lan's recent miscarriage shattered the beautiful and pure image he had of her.
“Ding dong! Received 888 points of resentment from Lu Jie!
Ding dong! Received 999 points of resentment from Lu Jie!”
The starter pack is now officially unlocked!
“Congratulations, master! Luck increased by 999 points; today you will find a treasure!”
“Congratulations, master! You have gained mastery in combat; your current level is equivalent to a world champion in martial arts, proficient in various fighting techniques. You could take on a hundred of someone like Lu Jie!”
“Congratulations, master! Mental strength increased by 10 points, and you gain the ability 'Sound Presence'; you will easily make enemies feel as if they are in the midst of the action.”
Lu Jie sneered disdainfully, “Shen Lei, I originally thought you were a man, but I didn’t expect you to resort to such despicable means.
You think that by belittling Xie Mei Lan, I would give up on her? Dream on!”
Shen Lei looked at him with amusement and said, “I thought you, Lu Jie, were a smart person, but it turns out you’re a big fool.
How can you dare to want a woman like Xie Mei Lan, who is materialistic and selfish?
I was her first love, treated her so well, and she still wanted to leave me just because I was poor.
And will you always be this successful?
Someone like you, who lacks core values and only follows trends in investments, misuses leverage, and lacks risk control mechanisms, even if you’re successful for a time, you will eventually go bankrupt due to investment failures.
By then, Xie Mei Lan will find someone else and leave you.
And you, deep in debt, will have no choice but to jump off a building, splattering your brains everywhere…”
At first, Lu Jie thought Shen Lei was just a frustrated man, showing a dismissive smile.
But as he listened, he suddenly felt as if he were in the midst of an investment failure, with Xie Mei Lan abandoning him, helpless against the pressure from creditors, and ultimately jumping off a building, blood everywhere.
This feeling was too real, as if he had experienced it himself.
At that moment, Lu Jie trembled all over, even scared enough to wet his pants!
The honking of a car nearby snapped Lu Jie out of his immersive state.
Only then did Lu Jie realize he hadn’t gone bankrupt yet.
But the earlier experience left him with lingering fears.
He now had a huge question mark about whether Xie Mei Lan would remain loyal to him in the future.
At that moment, Lu Jie suddenly noticed his pants were wet, and his suit pants reeked.
Lu Jie was both embarrassed and furious, seething with rage!
He never expected that as a veteran in the investment industry, he would be scared into wetting his pants by Shen Lei’s words!
“Ding dong! Received 7777 points of resentment from Lu Jie!”
“Ding dong! Received 8888 points of resentment from Lu Jie!”
“Ding dong! Received 9999 points of resentment from Lu Jie!”
……”
Now the resentment collected by the master exceeds 30,000 points, granting the master 3 chances to draw a lottery!
Shen Lei then focused his thoughts on the system's big wheel of fortune to draw a lottery.
“Ding dong! Congratulations, master! You have received 10 million RMB!
This 10 million comes from Lu Jie’s bank account.
After a series of complex operations by this system, it has safely entered the master’s account.
The master can use it with confidence!”
