"Chen Yuan, let's break up!"

Lin Shutong looked at the shabbily dressed young man before her with disdain in her eyes. He had a messy hairstyle, and she wore a disgusted expression.

"Why? Shutong, what did I do wrong? Tell me, and I'll change!" Chen Yuan looked confused, his expression anxious and uneasy.

Lin Shutong was his dream girl, and he had been a "bootlicker" for three years to win her over.

During these three years, he often delivered breakfast to the female dormitory building.

He cared for her and was meticulous.

Just because she wanted an iPhone, Chen Yuan worked part-time for four months as a courier, all to make her smile.

Maybe it was his hard work that moved the heavens.

A month ago, Lin Shutong finally agreed to be his girlfriend.

"Chen Yuan, my ex-boyfriend came to see me. I still love him, not you. I'm grateful for your efforts over the years, but I don't really like you. The only reason I agreed to be your girlfriend was because you touched me when I needed comfort. But being touched isn't the same as love. Let's break up!"

"But, Shutong, Huang Junkai is a scumbag. He got you pregnant and didn't take responsibility. Why are you so infatuated with him? Is it because he's wealthy?"

"Please don't insult my boyfriend. You can't even compare to him in any way. You're just a loser. Do you know how my friends look at me this month? I feel embarrassed to be seen with you. Go away!"

"You..."

Chen Yuan's face turned pale, and his heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife.

Three years of effort, and he got nothing but disdain.

She was the first woman he genuinely loved.

To please her, he didn't even mind that during these three years, Lin Shutong was involved with other guys.

He was willing to be a backup.

Quietly giving, and it didn't matter if someone else took over.

He believed that true love shouldn't care about someone's past!

But the genuine love he gave only resulted in contempt and humiliation. Why is the world so unjust? It always seems to make truly pure and kind people suffer insults and pain.

Is it true that "bootlickers" end up with nothing in the end?

"Shutong, please don't go. I beg you not to break up with me. I was wrong, and I'll change anything you say!"

"Get lost. Acting like this only makes me feel disgusted."

Lin Shutong forcefully pushed Chen Yuan's hand away and quickly got into a red Maserati by the side of the road, speeding away.

"Lin Shutong, you'll regret it!" Chen Yuan yelled with bloodshot eyes.

"Ha, another loser with impotent rage!"

"Hey, isn't that Chen Yuan, the ultimate 'bootlicker' at our school? I heard he worked part-time all year round to chase a girl, ate steamed buns and pickles every day, all just to sell makeup, clothes, and bags for someone else. Amazing!"

"Are you talking about Lin Shutong? I heard that she wasn't that well-known to begin with, just a pretty girl in the class. But this guy managed to lick his way to her heart. Huang Junkai even heard about this and decided to chase Lin Shutong, thinking it would be difficult, but he got her in just three days. Haha!"

"The goddess of the poor is the source of wealth for the rich!"

A group of students at the school gate were pointing fingers and whispering. Regardless of gender, they all looked at Chen Yuan with disdain.

Chen Yuan ignored them.

Because he had gotten used to having thick skin over these three years.

And he didn't know when he had lost his self-esteem, becoming as submissive as a dog.

"Ding! The Ultimate Bootlicker System has detected a suitable host!"

"System binding... binding complete!"

"System!"

Chen Yuan was baffled.

He had read many novels, and many protagonists had systems attached to them. He never thought that something so absurd would happen to him.

The next second, a virtual interface popped up before his eyes.

Name: Chen Yuan.

Bootlicker Fund Amount: (90 quadrillion Huaxia Coins)

Personal Wealth: 230 Huaxia Coins.

Enhancement Points: 0.

"Bootlicker Fund Amount? What is this? Does it mean the money I can spend?"

As Chen Yuan was puzzled, a "black card" inexplicably appeared in his hand.

This black card looked extraordinary.

"The host guessed correctly. Bootlicker Fund is the money the host can spend!" A system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"This is... 90 quadrillion? Incredible!"

How much was Ma Yun? How much was Ma Huateng? Their combined wealth probably didn't even come close to a fraction of this.

Chen Yuan was left flabbergasted, utterly bewildered.

"Reminder to the host: Bootlicker Fund is not the host's private property. It can only be used for bootlicking actions. When the host worships a goddess, all expenses incurred during the process will be covered by the system. However, personal expenses are not within the system's responsibility. For example, buying a house, a car, dining alone, personal entertainment—none of these expenses fall under the system's coverage!"

Hearing this explanation from the system, Chen Yuan's world was turned upside down.

He thought he was about to rise up, but it turned out he still had to be a bootlicker.

He had an enormous amount of wealth, but he could only pick up the tab for others.

He was still a broke loser, just one with a net worth of 90 quadrillion.

"Prompt: As long as the host successfully reverses the situation, turning a goddess into the host's bootlicker and completing the identity switch, the expenses incurred by the host on that target goddess will be rewarded with ten percent transferred to the host's personal account, becoming the host's personal property!"

Chen Yuan finally understood.

As long as he worshipped the goddess like crazy, bought things for her, and spent extravagantly, for every million spent, he could earn a hundred thousand. For every ten million spent, he could earn a million.

As long as he continued to be a bootlicker, he could achieve financial freedom and reach the peak of life quickly!

In no time, Chen Yuan followed the system's instructions and linked the bootlicker fund black card to his phone's payment account.

He went to the school supermarket and bought some snacks along with a few canned beers.

When he went to pay using the black card linked to his account, the payment page refused to open.

"I say, can you hurry up and pay? Why are you so slow? Can't you see people waiting in line behind you?"

A young woman, dazzling and eye-catching, who was standing behind Chen Yuan in line, urged impatiently.

"Miss, could you give me your WeChat? I'll cover your bill!"

Chen Yuan didn't get angry; instead, he tentatively said.

Of course, he wasn't trying to see if this attractive young lady would give him her WeChat.

Instead, he was testing whether the bootlicker fund could actually be used for bootlicking.

After all, with his usual personality, he wouldn't dare to strike up a conversation with an attractive woman.

As soon as he spoke, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Bootlicking action initiated!"

Name: Xu Lele.

Age: 21 years old.

Height: 165 cm.

Weight: 47 kg.

Appearance: 7.9/10.

Goodwill towards the host: 50 points.

Bound as a bootlicker; when the goodwill of this woman towards the host exceeds 95 points, the role reversal will succeed, and she will become the host's bootlicker.

After a successful role reversal, 10% of the expenses spent on this target with the bootlicker fund will be converted to the host's personal account.

Reward: 5 enhancement points (can enhance the host's physical attributes, including physique, mental strength, talent, strength, perception, etc.).

This was incredible!
