In a boundless, lightless space, seemingly as vast as the universe, an immense orb of light flickered faintly in the center of this boundless space. Within it, infinite mysteries lay hidden. Then, the orb's shimmering light suddenly froze, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished into the center of this boundless space, its whereabouts unknown.

From within, a command suddenly began to operate.

"Find a host to grant unlimited balance, grant them peak status in their real world, and then enter the main divine dimension to stabilize it and facilitate the construction of a bridge to the real world..."

------------------------------

"I'm sorry, sir, but you don't meet the requirements for our position here. Please seek another company." In an interview office, a man in his thirties sat across from a young man with a bitter expression, seemingly about to speak. The man in his thirties held a cold gaze. If it were someone with an ordinary college degree, he would even politely offer to wait a few days for further notice. However, this man, with only a technical secondary school diploma, was applying for a position at one of the top companies in Xinhui City. This displeased him, and he also felt resentful of the HR representative who had let him in.

Xu Zhou could clearly see the coldness in the man's eyes. He wanted to say something, but instead stood up and whispered, "Okay, excuse me."

Then he opened the door and left.

"How's it going, Xu Zhou?" A pretty woman with a graceful figure at the door saw Xu Zhou coming out and hurried over to him, asking. Xu Zhou smiled and said softly, "I didn't get accepted. Forget it, Shijun. I'd better find a small company to gain some experience."

Ye Shijun, upon hearing Xu Zhou's words, was immediately relieved. "It's okay. It's just a matter of luck. You go back first. I'll come back and talk to you tonight."

Xu Zhou also smiled slightly at Ye Shijun's words. He grew up in poverty, but he had a girlfriend who loved her dearly. Although his academic qualifications weren't ideal, he always managed to earn a little money through his own hard work. While it wasn't as much as his girlfriend's salary, it was enough. However, Xu Zhou knew that if things continued like this, reality would be enough to break them both.

"Okay, I'll pick you up after work," Xu Zhou agreed, and then left the Huili Building, a landmark in Xinhui City. After Xu Zhou left, the man in his thirties came out. He glanced at Ye Shijun, his eyes filled with a hint of strangeness and longing. He then asked, "Shijun, who's in charge of screening the resumes this time?"

Ye Shijun caught the man's eye and frowned slightly, but remained expressionless. She replied softly, "Manager Wang, I'm in charge of screening the resumes this time."

Manager Wang was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, his expression darkening. He couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with that man just now?"

Ye Shijun looked at Manager Wang calmly and said, "He's my boyfriend."

"Nonsense! He's your boyfriend? Do you know how long I've been pursuing you?" Manager Wang never imagined that this guy, who only had a junior college diploma and looked rather down and out, was actually the boyfriend of the person he was obsessed with! What right did he have? Was he worthy?! Ye Shijun hadn't expected Manager Wang to lose control of his temper so suddenly. His expression changed, and as he watched the dozen or so people waiting for interviews fix their gazes on them, his face faltered. He reminded Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, it's work hours now. I already have a boyfriend, so please be careful with your words."

"Very good, very good." Manager Wang's face darkened, completely ignoring the glances of the interviewees. He glared fiercely at Ye Shijun, then said coldly, "Putting someone with clearly insufficient credentials on the interview list is a clear cover for backdoor dealings. You don't need to come. You've violated company regulations. We won't compensate you. Take this with you." "I want two months' salary, get out!"

After saying that, he suddenly lowered his voice, whispering softly so that only Ye Shijun could hear, "But if you break up with that man and come with me to my house tonight, then... I'll forgive all this. You know my background. If I get promoted, my position will be yours. How about that?"

Ye Shijun's face darkened as she listened to Manager Wang's words. On the one hand, she was worried about losing her job, and on the other, she was disgusted by Manager Wang's words. She said in a cold, hard voice, "No need. I'm leaving now."

Xu Zhou was unaware of what was happening inside Huili Building. He was inexplicably shocked.

Just now, when he was feeling down, a beam of light from the sky shone directly onto Xu Zhou's forehead. Before Xu Zhou could react, he heard a strange voice in his mind. "Binding to host, checking host..."

"Mentality compatible."

"Binding completed."

"Checking current world..."

"Checking completed."

"Enabling system permissions: unlimited balance."

The series of voices completely shut Xu Zhou's mind down. He stood blankly near the entrance of Huili Building, expressionless. Passersby were curious, as he had been standing there motionless for over ten minutes, a truly eerie sight. No kindhearted people approached to question him, though. Perhaps he was suffering from some kind of stress or mental disorder, and in a fast-paced city like Xinhui City, he had no time to care for others.

But by the time the last voice died down, Xu Zhou finally realized what was happening. Those four words jolted him awake, his entire body trembling. "Unlimited balance!" He heard it clearly!

He then frantically began to feel around, expecting something to appear. But after a while, he found nothing but a phone. Then, instinctively, he opened Alipay. In 2019, mobile payments had already become mainstream, and he assumed the so-called unlimited balance was reflected in Alipay.

If someone else had told him, he might not have believed it at all, but the voice in his head made it clear that he was no lunatic; he couldn't help but believe it!

He expertly checked his Alipay balance, but found no change. Then, he quickly opened WeChat to check the balance, but still no change.

Then he opened his bank card app and found nothing but his 20,000 yuan deposit. He was stunned. Was he truly insane? "Host, you're not crazy. If you need the unlimited balance feature, just call me in your head."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Xu Zhou's mind. Xu Zhou was startled. He hadn't yet adjusted to the sudden voice in his head, which made him a little jumpy. Then, after a moment's reaction, he muttered tentatively, "Why don't I just tell you directly? First, transfer 10,000 yuan to my Alipay account."

"Please check."

The voice in his mind was brief, but it made Xu Zhou involuntarily open Alipay on his phone. Seeing the neat 10,000 yuan in his Alipay account, his face lit up with joy, but he quickly calmed down. He looked around and found no one paying attention to him. He quickly walked into Huili Building and found a place Sitting down on the sofa, he thought to himself, "What consequences will I face if I use your unlimited balance? What are the negative effects?"

"Host, there are no negative effects. I've granted you unlimited balance for a single purpose: to establish a world-class consortium. Excessive use of your unlimited balance will inevitably lead to inflation and currency devaluation in your world."

"Once you establish your own company, this system will operate as a company. Your use of unlimited balance will not cause inflation or currency devaluation in this world."

Xu Zhou pondered the system's words. Simply put, if he squandered money recklessly and didn't treat it as money, a flood of currency would flood the market, and money would become worthless. Once he established his company, the system's power would eliminate these negative effects. After pondering, Xu Zhou hit upon a point and asked himself, "So, how much funds can I use now without causing a significant impact?"

"If you haven't established a company yet, you can use funds up to 10 billion. This won't have any impact on this world, as your world has its own capital flows. However, if you exceed 10 billion in a short period of time, your world will likely experience inflation and currency devaluation."

"10 billion!" Xu Zhou exclaimed, his voice quite loud, drawing glances from many in Huili Building. Xu Zhou quickly lowered his head. It was no wonder he was so surprised. He had never seen money exceeding a million in his life, and suddenly knowing that a sum like 10 billion could be instantly possessed simply by thinking of it was an indescribable feeling.

"Host, you can now use your unlimited balance as you please. If you need any help, just mentally state your needs."

"Okay, got it," Xu Zhou muttered to himself, his eyes lighting up. He now had unlimited funds! He was going to start a company! He was no longer poor! He could give his beloved girlfriend the best life possible!

He cried out in his heart, eager to go up and share his joy with his girlfriend. But soon, he saw a familiar figure. Her eyes were red, her pretty face a bit haggard and heavy. She was holding a large box and walking out. A shorter woman was beside her, chattering non-stop.

Xu Zhou looked at the figure. It was familiar. It was his beloved girlfriend, Ye Shijun!

"Shijun! Why are you out?" Xu Zhou trotted over to Ye Shijun and instinctively took the suitcase from her. Seeing Ye Shijun's haggard face and a slightly gloomy expression, he was no fool. He gently said to Ye Shijun, "Did that interviewer, Manager Wang, give you a hard time?"

"You're Junjun's boyfriend, right? What's wrong with you? You insisted on having Junjun introduce you to someone else. Don't you know that's against company policy? Junjun got fired because of you, don't you know?" The woman beside him, hearing what Xu Zhou was saying to Ye Shijun, suddenly understood. She already felt resentful towards Ye Shijun, and upon seeing Xu Zhou's expression, her anger flared, and she started yelling at him.

Hearing the woman's words, Xu Zhou knew his suspicions were correct. His face darkened, and he set the suitcase on the ground. He said to Ye Shijun, "Come on, I'll go and vent your anger."
