"Aiya…" Xu Duo couldn't help letting out a soft exclamation, her beautiful eyes full of frustration—all because of the "0/10 million" display. She had topped up the system with quite a lot recently. "I've already refurbished over 88,000 batteries before, spending more than 530,000. And those 13,510 screens at the beginning cost more than 200,000."
"These past three days, I refurbished another 41,000 batteries, costing over 240,000. My total top-up is almost 970,000. Add today's 700,000+, and I've recharged nearly 1.68 million. And now it's all reset?"
"Does that mean the extra 680,000 recharge credits just disappeared?"
"Seriously, if I'd known, I would've planned better."
Xu Duo was deeply unwilling. After all, the recharge quota was a key requirement for system upgrades—every bit was precious.
But alas—
There was nothing she could do. The system had reset it, and it's not like she could yank it out of her brain and argue with it.
"I need to pay attention next time—definitely!" Xu Duo muttered to herself. Although she was still heartbroken, a wave of joy quickly drowned it out. "Being able to upgrade products by one generation… that's insane. I wonder if I could upgrade an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4s now?"
Well!
It was just wishful thinking—or maybe something to dream about later. After all, the iPhone 4 was still the latest version for now. There was no way to upgrade until the iPhone 4s was released. On the other hand, if she got her hands on an iPhone 3, she could definitely upgrade it to an iPhone 4. Unfortunately, the iPhone 3 was never officially sold in China, and even in tech-heavy places like Shenzhen and Beiliu, it was rare.
"A car… If I could get a scrapped older model, refurbish and upgrade it, it'd become the latest version."
Xu Duo's eyes lit up—but quickly dimmed again. "Old cars that have only been used for a year or two are usually still in pretty good condition, unless they've been in a serious accident. Still, it's fine—I've got the product info override feature now. I can modify it however I want."
"It's just that getting a 30% depreciation to qualify for refurbishment is hard. A car has to be pretty badly wrecked. That kind of thing is not easy to find—it's pure luck!" Xu Duo had gained some new insights.
Luxury cars! Who doesn't love luxury cars? Buying a second-hand Wuling van was just for hauling stuff. When it came to her personal ride, of course she wanted something better. Especially now with the upgraded refurbishment system—it could even do generation upgrades. It was practically a divine tool. If she could find the right one, she could get a luxury car for dirt cheap, refurbish it, and voilà—drive it like brand new.
The cost-effectiveness? Simply unbeatable!
Just the thought of it made her feel all giddy.
A storm of ideas was brewing in her mind, and Xu Duo grew increasingly excited.
But she quickly pushed those thoughts aside. The system was still upgrading—it needed 24 hours. Still, there were other things she had to do. Like neatly stacking all the 46,900 refurbished screens to save some box space. She still had 30,000 batteries in the rental unit, and over 9,000 screens from before.
Today! She would haul out and sell everything.
"These past few days, I've refurbished a total of 130,000 batteries. Besides the initial 11,000 that sold for 140 yuan each, the rest were all sold at 135. Subtract the 30,000 that haven't been sold yet, and I've made around 13.49 million!"
Xu Duo mentally did the rough math: "And then there are those 2,800+ screens I've already sold bit by bit—about 4 million from those."
"If I sell the remaining 57,500 screens, that's another huge chunk of money."
"Based on 130,000 batteries and 60,000 screens, with unit prices of 135 and 1,400 yuan respectively—how much is that?"
"17.55 million and 84 million!"
"Over 100 million?!"
"That's right—my wealth has officially passed 100 million!"
Xu Duo stood frozen, stunned by her own math. The cost she'd paid was honestly negligible. The total refurbishment costs were around 1.68 million. As for the collection costs, all the bits and pieces added up to less than 200,000.
Let's round up—say the total cost was 2 million. Then what's the net profit?
100.1 million!
That's right—over 100 million. And that was just a rough estimate. She hadn't even included the small extras. For instance, she only counted 60,000 screens, but there were 410 more that hadn't been accounted for—those alone were worth more than 570,000.
Even without those small details, she had definitely crossed the 100 million mark.
"I was worried about scraping together 18 million to buy that building and land in Haibei Village, thinking it'd take a long time. Turns out, I'll have plenty left over."
Xu Duo couldn't help feeling a wave of emotion—but she was still clear-headed: "Still, I've got to wait until this batch of goods is sold and the money is in my account. Working with He Dong has been so much better than going solo."
"So what's next? Offload the stock, then head to the law firm!"
Xu Duo laid out her plan. She hadn't forgotten the agreement she made last Friday—to go finalize the contract and pay the 3 million deposit. She could've paid in full, honestly—but this batch of goods wasn't sold yet, and she was still about a million short in her bank account.
