METROPOLITAN SYSTEM

Chapter 2 : Making Money Through Plagiarising 

__________

The words in shiny purple characters that was dazzling to his eyes were " Win A Chance To Get Rich!"

"This is the first time you will spin the lottery, so the nine rewards will appear in a list to let you know the contents of the rewards. But only this time. The next time you draw a lottery, the rewards will be automatically hidden and will be given randomly.

According to the color of the reward, there are different levels for rewards. They are black, white, blue, purple, and of course, gold, from lowest to highest.

But that is a category of the advanced lottery. The beginner and intermediate lottery will not give you a gold reward, while the purple reward has a certain chance of appearing.

Young man, begin, and embark on your shining path of a glorious life!"

When he was dazzled by purple reward. Suddenly, system words were heard.

"Spin!"

Jiang Bai could not help but scream in his heart. 

In the next second, the nine squares on the slot machine began to spin rapidly. One by one, the needle moved. After a few seconds, the speed slowed down, and the squares of various colors kept changing in front of his eyes.

"I want to get rich overnight, get rich overnight..."

Looking at the square slowly moving across the white needle, Jiang Bai could not help but chant in his heart. He stared at the purple square until his eyes were bloodshot.

The white squares slowly moved across the needle, that mentioned "100,000 yuan", "Romantic encounter with a Woman", "10 Reputation Points". Then it moved to blue square that mentioned "Advanced Mixed Martial Arts Mastery," and kept repeating one by one. Finally, the black square seems to be steadily landing on the needle, making Jiang Bai's vision suddenly turn black.

"F*ck!!!"

Jiang Bai could not help but stomp his feet.

This damn machine actually did not give him anything?

It didn't give him anything?!!!

"Eh? That's not it... "

Originally, Jiang Bai was ready to lunge on and curse, but he was stunned to find that the squares were actually still spinning. It was just that the speed was astonishingly slow, almost imperceptible to naked eyes. Just as he was about to curse in anger, the black square moved across, and pointed on one of the two purple square with a big question mark in the middle.

"Congratulations, young man, you have received a purple reward, the special ability of 'Photographic Memory'."

The system's voice sounded, the same mechanical voice and there seems to be a hint of playfulness, but it is not noticed by Jiang Bai.

In the next second, a surge of unknown energy entered Jiang Bai's body. He felt a sharp pain in his head, and then a wave of memories poured out.

Jiang Bai's memories from when he was young, even when he was a baby, instantly emerged. They were vivid in his mind, as if he had just experienced them. Not only of this current body, but also everything he had experienced and witnessed in his previous life appeared like a painting.

Jiang Bai could even remember the way his mother made dumplings for him when he was a child, the blissful taste of eating dumplings, and the bits and pieces of the past...

Unknowingly, Jiang Bai's face was already covered in tears. Some things could never be reversed, and some people could never be seen again.

Wiping away the tears on his cheeks and rubbing his head, Jiang Bai threw everything that had happened just now to the back of his mind. While rejoicing that he had obtained the mysterious purple reward, Photographic Memory, Jiang Bai decided to face the current situation of his current life.

After calming down he thought.

First of all, he definitely couldn't stay here any longer. He had to find another place to stay.

Although there weren't many cheap houses in the Upper East District, how could he not find a house in the huge Tiandu?

A gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall only to be buried unknowingly. This was not a place to stay for long.

Jiang Bai packed a simple suitcase and grabbed his old second hand computer. He then turned around and left the house that he had lived in for more than half a year. He took his only 10,000 yuan savings and moved to a new place to live.

It was a mid-grade residential area in the city. The environment was not bad, the security was good, and it was very close to the city center. The transportation was convenient, and the surroundings were bustling. The house of more than 100 square meters was not very spacious, but it was many times better than the shabby place he lived in before.

Of course, the rent was also many times more expensive.

After paying the rent, Jiang Bai was shocked to find that he didn't have much money left. He only had a thousand yuan on him, and this was the result of only paying two months' rent in advance.

It wasn't that he couldn't find a cheaper place, but Jiang Bai was also doing well in his previous life. He had a car, a house, and savings. Now he really couldn't stand living in that kind of place. It's really unbearable to him.

"Life is really a headache. I don't know how this kid managed. He's already 23 years old and still hasn't accomplished anything. After four or five years in the society after graduating from High School, he can barely afford to eat and wear. He doesn't have a proper job, and not to mentioned he's still a virgin. Thinking about it, it's really miserable!" He muttered to himself.

After arranging his things up, it was already late at night and he was also hungry. Holding a bowl of instant noodles, Jiang Bai couldn't help but complain about his current life while eating.

He didn't even dare to eat a bowl of instant noodles with ham sausage. Life was really hard.

"I can't work as a security guard for the time being. What should I do?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but think.

He didn't have much money on him, and he also got into trouble with Liu Bin. He wouldn't have a job for a while, and he couldn't go to The Entertainment City for the time being. Liu Bin would definitely come looking for him sooner or later to get his revenge.

Besides, even if this didn't happen, would he continue to be a security guard in that godforsaken place?

Wasn't this a little too much for him, a reincarnated person with a Big Cheat like System?

"Eh? That's it..."

Suddenly, Jiang Bai's mind flashed. With haste he turned on the computer and quickly looked it up on the search engine. He was extremely engrossed. After a while, he stood up and laughed loudly.

This was because Jiang Bai found that the world he was in was really different from Earth. Although it was generally the same, there were still some differences in some aspects.

For example, in terms of culture, many literary works that were popular on Earth had never appeared here.

This made Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, as if he had found a huge gold mine. He just thought and dreamed of how he will be making money through plagiarising contents that he will be using from Earth.

He was almost certain that if he took out the literary works that were sensational on Earth, it would definitely set off a frenzy. When that time came, he would definitely make a lot of money. Thinking of this, Jiang Bai couldn't help but smile.

However, dreams were plentiful, but reality was full of bane!

When Jiang Bai decided to be a literary thief and plagiarize to gain both fame and fortune, he was shocked to find that he was really ignorant and incompetent in his previous life.

With the ability of Photographic Memory, Jiang Bai knew the memories of his previous life like the back of his hand. He was shocked to find that he only cared about earning money in his previous life and didn't seriously read many books at all.

The Four Great Classical Novels?

Come on, this world has them!

And... Jiang Bai had never read them!

Harry Potter? What the hell is that? Who would read children's books!

The Legend of the Condor Heroes? The Legends of Great Dragon? That's belong to Author Jin and Legendary Writer Sun.

Uh... Well, other than TV series, he had never read those things at all. In his previous life, he was only at the junior high school level in this kind of things. He could watch TV and movies, but reading books? Especially these kinds of books, forget about it.

Even for those popular web novels, Jiang Bai sadly found that although he had read many of them, the number of books that he had read to the end could be counted with his fingers. There were definitely less than five of them, and the ones that were popular... didn't seem to be popular.

"It's f*cking so hard!"

Jiang Bai couldn't help but slap his forehead, feeling a little regretful.

"Forget it, to be honest, I don't want to do this kind of work much anyway, let's think of something else. Eh? No... I still remember few books, making money shouldn't be a problem! "

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Bai decided to give up this seemingly promising job and think of another way out. However, at the last moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a book that he had finished reading and completely remembered.

"Celestial Bane... "
