《Ultimate Economic System》I Get Experience for This?
Advertisement
As Ge Liang went to cook some eggs, his sister popped out from her room. She was also in his dorm, and they attended the same college. However, annoyingly, he was born 10 months earlier, and as a result his parents had always expected him to be the kind, doting, amazing older brother. What a joke, Ge Liang thought. She's always using it to leech off of me! Just as Ge Liang was thinking this, his sister, Ruo Xiangyi spoke up. "Big Brooooo, cook me some scrambled eggs! I'm too tired to get up todayyyyy...." Goddamn! That sister of his... Already in college and still so lazy! With a resigned sigh, Ge Liang went to go cook the scrambled eggs. He was feeling pretty hungry himself. As he was preparing the eggs, a system notification sounded.
*Host, a new quest has been issued!*
Finally! I, Ge Liang, at last get to accept quests! He looked tentatively to see what it was.
Ge Liang: .....
Quest: Cook eggs for your sister, Ruo Xiangyi.
Cooking EXP gain: 5
Ruo Xiangyi Influence Points: 5
Shit! Of course the system gave him a crappy quest like that.... He whisked up the eggs and put them in the pan. They gave off a nice smell and they looked to be tasty. At the end of his cooking, he prepared a glass of orange juice for Ruo Xiangyi and headed up to her bedroom with the food. Happy sounds were coming from her as she ate the eggs.
*System Notification*
Quest Rating: A-
*Quest Message: Decent eggs for a beginner, and added some extra orange juice too! This deserves an A-.*
*Quest Rewards: 5 + 2 bonus Cooking EXP, 5 Influence Points with Ruo Xiangyi, a blueberry muffin*
*The Ultimate Economic system rewards you for your work! Host, continue accepting quests for more rewards!*

Ge Liang looked at his rewards and smiled. He had no idea what Cooking EXP or Influence Points were, but he sure as hell liked a good blueberry muffin! Just to be sure he knew what he was getting, he asked the system for clarification.
*Cooking EXP is a measure of how good you are at Cooking! There will be more and more skillsets coming up for you to master!*
*Influence Points are a measure of what your bonds are like with a certain person. They are boundless, but the law of diminishing returns applies.*
Ge Liang thanked the system, and began to ponder. It was named the Ultimate Economic System, which clearly meant he could make lots of money! So how was he to do this?

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!

I closed my eyes and saw another place. A place where my entire world was nothing more than a game. Now that I know the truth, my rise to power will begin! No Rift can stop my progress. No dungeon boss will be match for my strength! My OPness will shake the heavens! Except this isn't my story. I've woken up. And I can't go back to sleep.

So I who can travel across realities, Worlds of Magic, Modern Worlds, Futuristic Worlds. Will discard my moral compass and strive for one thing. To cure boredom, No matter the cost Physics and science? Dao Laws? Magic Laws? Love? Common Sense? None Can stand in my way!
