Hawaii was rich in coffee beans, honey, and coral shells. Among them, Kona coffee beans were considered some of the best in the world.
Due to Hawaii's consistently warm climate, it was one of the most suitable regions for coffee cultivation. Every year, Hawaiian coffee beans were highly sought after across the globe.
Honey, coral, and shells were also among Hawaii's specialties. The honey was top-quality, and while coral and shells might not be worth much locally, once harvested, they became hot commodities in jewelry and luxury markets.
With these three industries, the estate was practically a money-printing machine!
"So what's the annual profit?"
Ye Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued asking. What he cared about most was: how much money it made.
"Young Master, since the estate has not undergone major development, the current post-tax annual profit from these industries is around two million USD."
Sebas gave a figure that left Ye Yun utterly stunned.
Two million USD?! And he said "only"?
That was over fourteen million RMB!
In other words, even if Ye Yun did nothing and just let Sebas manage the estate, he could still net over 14 million RMB annually—while lying down!
"Got it. Go ahead with your work, I'll look around on my own."
Ye Yun took a deep breath and said to Sebas.
"Yes, Young Master. If you need anything, please call for me anytime."
Sebas nodded, gave a respectful bow, and turned to leave, leaving Ye Yun alone at the front door of the luxurious villa.
Ye Yun entered the villa and wandered through it casually.
The villa was spacious and designed in a modern minimalist style.
It was built on a cliffside by the sea, similar to the one Iron Man lived in from the movies.
Behind the villa was a large swimming pool, and beyond it stretched the vast, sapphire-blue ocean.
The mildly salty sea breeze blew across his face, lifting his spirits.
"The wretched life of the rich!"
"Sure enough, the wealthy, while gaining their fortune, also lose many things—like stress."
Ye Yun grabbed a bottle of beer from the fridge, sat down by the pool, and sipped while sighing to himself.
Though, it seemed he had forgotten that he himself had now become one of those "wretched rich"—with a multibillion-dollar estate and multiple cash-cow industries.
In the end, he had become exactly the kind of person he used to dislike. (Cue side-eye smirk.)
After a short rest, Ye Yun remembered his main objective and quickly asked the system:
"I've completed the Initial Quest. What's the reward?"
His newbie mission was to take over the territory. And every mission comes with a reward—he was curious what the system would give.
"Congratulations, Host, for completing the Initial Quest. Reward: Treasure Map x1. The item has been delivered to the System Inventory."
"Stage Quest unlocked. Quest Objective: Establish a complete estate industrial chain with an annual net profit of 10 million USD."
"Quest Duration: One year."
"Quest Success Reward: A new territory."
"Quest Failure Penalty: A fine of 10 million USD."
"Current Side Quest: Build the estate's reputation and establish a brand."
Hearing this string of prompts made Ye Yun's sword-like eyebrows twitch.
"Build a full industrial chain and generate 10 million USD in net profit? That's nearly 70 million RMB!"
Ye Yun's mouth twitched. Reaching that number in just one year? That sounded insane.
But whether he liked it or not, the quest was there—and for such a juicy reward, he had to give it a shot.
"Step by step, I'll figure it out."
Ye Yun sighed and temporarily put the matter aside, shifting his focus to the reward he just received.
With a thought, an ancient-looking piece of parchment appeared in his hand from the System Inventory.
It was the reward from the system—Treasure Map.
Anything given by the system was guaranteed to be real, which meant this map could lead to an actual treasure.
"What year is it, and we're still doing treasure maps? System, you're so outdated."
Ye Yun teased the system while carefully examining the map.
The more he looked, the more excited he became.
"The treasure is on one of the Hawaiian islands!"
Just hearing the word "treasure" brought to mind images of gold, gems, and rare artifacts—everything worth big money.
And right now, the one thing Young Master Ye lacked most… was money.
Sure, the estate made two million USD a year, but all previous profits didn't count. Only the money earned from the moment he took over the territory would be his.
So currently, Ye Yun owned a huge estate and several businesses, but only had a few thousand RMB in his pocket.
A treasure hidden on an island in Hawaii? He had to get it. No matter what.
He needed money to do anything, and this treasure would be his startup capital.
But there was one issue—Ye Yun couldn't fully understand the map. Although the treasure was somewhere on a Hawaiian island, the details were hard to decipher. The map was too old, and the geography didn't perfectly match modern Hawaii.
"I need to find a local who really knows the terrain."
After putting away the map, Ye Yun continued exploring the estate and getting familiar with the various industries.
Of course, during his little tour, he didn't forget to take pictures and videos to share in the class group chat—to show off a little.
And sure enough, the photos and videos caused a sensation in the chat.
"Ye Yun, you actually have a real estate?!"
"Forget calling him Ye Yun—he's the Boss now!"
"Ye Yun, got time for a hangout? I really wanna visit your villa~"
"Yeah, yeah! Handsome Ye, you promised last time—you've got to teach me how to swim!"
"I thought I was the only one bluffing, but you're the real deal. Waaaah—"
"Ye Yun, you looked so cool opening that villa door with one hand!"
"Ye Yun, I love you!"
…
Many of those who once mocked him were now full-on bootlickers.
Several girls even sent him private messages, hinting that they wanted to visit the estate—and some even confessed outright.
Ye Yun just smiled and ignored them.
He no longer cared about clapbacks or bragging rights.
Standing at a different height meant thinking differently.
After taking over the estate, his whole mindset had shifted.
Now, all he cared about was finding the treasure and figuring out how to complete the quest.
He had no time for posturing or drama—those things seemed meaningless to him now.
But ironically, the more aloof he acted, the more mysterious and attractive he seemed to everyone else.
