You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

Her name was Liu Mengyuan, a university classmate of Lu Yu's, in the same year. Lu Yu was in the School of Software Engineering, while she was in the School of Multimedia Arts.

At this moment, Liu Mengyuan was focused on sketching a white, spotted cat on the lawn with a charcoal pencil.

Lu Yu glanced at her drawing, his expression complex.

What she drew couldn't be said to look exactly like a cat, but it could also be said to have absolutely no relation to one. Her artistic talent was still so abstract, I'm crying here.

Lu Yu remembered that he met her during a club activity in their sophomore year.

Both of them had joined the school's Game Research Club and participated in that year's College Student Game Development Competition.

Originally, this club was a makeshift team, and no one had high hopes for their representative team.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan displayed amazing potential in this competition. The side-scrolling game they co-developed, 'The Way of the Cat,' ultimately won third prize.

Although the cat Liu Mengyuan drew had strange lines and was excessively unconventional, it surprisingly matched the game's anti-traditional gameplay and tone, ultimately conquering the competition judges.

After winning the award, the two became increasingly tacit in the club. Lu Yu felt for the first time that a girl could perfectly match his wavelength.

Just as they were about to develop a relationship beyond friendship, everything came to an abrupt end due to her sudden leave of absence from school.

It was during this leave of absence that various rumors about her spread like wildfire.

Lu Yu then learned that Liu Mengyuan was the daughter of Liu Lan, the chairwoman of Liu's Holding Group.

Liu's Group is a Fortune Global 500 company operating across multiple fields. Youyi Company, the second-largest game company in China by market value, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liu's Group. Youyi Company was also the organizer of the game development competition.

Because of this, some people in the club sourly gossiped, saying that the prize for 'The Way of the Cat' was bought by Liu Lan. Lu Yu naturally couldn't tolerate this, and after arguing fiercely with the other person, he angrily quit the Game Research Club.

After a half-year leave of absence, Liu Mengyuan returned to campus but did not return to the Game Research Club. Instead, she attended classes conscientiously.

She moved into a private apartment off-campus, and she was escorted by several female staff members in suits, refusing her contact with any other students, especially males.

This made Lu Yu suddenly realize that their circles and life trajectories could no longer intersect. Liu Lan intended to designate Liu Mengyuan as the group's successor.

In addition, after entering their senior year, he also faced the pressure of work and studies, and the two briefly intersecting lines became parallel again...

After graduation, with the development of his career, Lu Yu also walked through the myriad flowers of the fame and fortune field, but he never stopped beside any flower, remaining single into his thirties.

For some reason, every night, looking at the bright lights of Jianghai City outside the window, the figure of this woman lingered in his mind, haunting him.

Reborn, the person who had appeared in his dreams countless times appeared vividly before him again, and the fire in Lu Yu's heart was rekindled.

If it were the same day as in his previous life, he probably wouldn't be here, but would be heading to the library with Fatty Chu, munching on bread.

But now, the timeline of fate has changed!

Lu Yu forced himself to remain calm and slowly walked towards her.

Liu Mengyuan tore off the paper from her drawing board, put on a new sheet, and began to draw.

At this time, she already had nine drawings stacked beside her, almost all of them equally abstract, with no progress.

Lu Yu was wondering what the meaning of this mechanical repetition was when he saw that her tenth drawing actually showed significant improvement in style. At least the shape of the cat was drawn in more detail.

This improvement was too abrupt, and Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, a system light screen appeared in front of Liu Mengyuan, prompting:

[Simple Sketch Practice, Proficiency Points +1]

[Congratulations, Host's ten practice sessions have triggered a guarantee. Art Skill 'Simple Sketch' has directly increased to Lv2]

"This system is really useful!"

Excited light flickered in her bright black eyes, and a blush appeared on her fair face as she clenched her small fists slightly.

"Reborn, this time, this young lady will definitely not be a useless girl!"

Yes, Liu Mengyuan, like Lu Yu, was also a reborn transmigrator.

Although to outsiders, her identity as the daughter of Liu's Group could be said to be born in Rome.

But, perhaps as the price of being born into a wealthy family, although her name was Mengyuan (Dream Fulfilled), almost all of her dreams in this life were pipe dreams.

Her growth experience can be summarized in one sentence: She's useless at everything, but first-rate at eating.

From a young age, she was cultivated by her mother, Liu Lan, as the group's successor.

At four years old, she studied English, but it took her more than half a year to recognize all 26 letters of the alphabet.

At five years old, she practiced calligraphy, but the overly abstract and distorted symbols made the old professor cry out, "I can't teach this child. Letting her continue to write is an insult to the art of calligraphy."

At six years old, she practiced playing the piano, directly causing the virtuous and talented piano teacher to lose his sense of pitch, retiring from the art world and recuperating for half a year before recovering.

Then, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, ballet, literature, singing, kendo... she failed at them all.

This made her mother, Liu Lan, completely lose it:

"How did I give birth to such a dull girl? If you were even a little useful, you wouldn't be completely useless."

"Mom, I can eat. Being able to eat is a blessing."

The young Liu Mengyuan desperately stuffed macarons into her mouth, puffing up her round cheeks.

After her daughter turned eighteen, Liu Lan wanted to send this girl to an Ivy League school in the United States to get some gilding. Academic performance didn't matter; Liu Lan could use her money power to let her daughter graduate smoothly.

However, the art teacher who taught Liu Mengyuan painting inadvertently said:

"Chairwoman, don't be sad. Miss still has some artistic talent in painting. With a little rescue, she can still draw art that can be understood by humans on this planet, maybe..."

This gave Liu Lan hope, and plus, she was worried about her going abroad, so she sent her to Jianghai University, which has the best art school in the country.

However, after four years of study, her artistic creation was a blank page.

After graduating from university, Liu Mengyuan began to rotate through internships in the group's companies, but no matter what department it was, Liu Mengyuan could directly bring the performance to the bottom of the group. The business training conducted by the big shots of various departments was also impervious to her.

The gradually aging Liu Lan also gave up struggling and simply handed the group over to professional managers.

Failure, loser, vase, dragging the family down, waste, destroyer of Liu's Group...

Liu Mengyuan, in her early thirties, was already wearing a full body of labels, tasting all kinds of ridicule in the business world.

But now, everything is different!

Because she, who was reborn, had bound the [Dream Guarantee System]!

[Are you worried that you are a waste? It doesn't matter! Any effort deserves respect and should be rewarded.]

[This system will guarantee the host's life dreams. As long as the host repeats the practice of a certain skill, she will definitely be able to improve! Even mechanical, boring repetition is fine.]

[The so-called skills can be work skills or life skills.]

[There are no detours, no useless work. Day after day, there will be progress!]

[Burn your youth, fight on, girl!]

Through the previous sketch experiment, Liu Mengyuan verified the function of the system, which made her extremely excited.

However, to truly bind the system, she still needs to complete the system's trial period task:

[Trial Period Task: Join a company within three days.]

[Task Rewards:]

[First, the system will officially bind to the host.]

[Second, the system will open the Dream Fulfillment Mall, where you can pay proficiency points to purchase various talents.]

[Third, the system will open a new function: other employees of the company can also gain proficiency points and improve their skills. The initial learning speed of employees is 10% of the host's, and the proficiency points earned by employees will be returned to the host.]

[Failure Consequences: The system will unbind from the host.]

[Note: If the company chosen by the host goes bankrupt due to poor management, then the system will also automatically unbind, so please consider your choice carefully.]

Liu Mengyuan curiously clicked on the mall preview.

It turned out that in this system, what was guaranteed through proficiency practice was basic abilities, while what was sold in the Dream Fulfillment Mall were some [Talents] that could add icing to the cake.

For example, [Color Sensitivity] for painting, [Sweet Vocal Cords] for singers, [Taste Judgment] for chefs, [Finger Dexterity] for playing the piano, and even [Sharp Reaction] for e-sports.

They are all things that some are born with, and if you don't have them, no matter how hard you practice, you won't get them.

Seeing the dazzling array of talent scrolls, her eyes almost sparkled.

These are all regrets she wanted to try but couldn't get in her previous life!

She wants to practice hard, grind hard, and see which of the group's board of directors and the playboys in the business world dare to say that she is the Liu family's useless girl!

However, when she wanted to continue practicing sketching, she felt a little dizzy and her hands were sore, so she had to stop.

It seems that although the system does not limit her number of practices, a person's energy and time are naturally limited.

She still has to carefully plan what aspects of life to focus her energy on.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes behind her. Liu Mengyuan turned her head and met Lu Yu's eyes.

At the moment of eye contact, Liu Mengyuan's heart surged, and her heart pounded like a deer.

Although, in Liu Mengyuan's lost youth, there were many regrets.

But Lu Yu was undoubtedly her biggest regret.

In her previous life, many years after graduation, she was alone, rejecting various wealthy family marriages introduced by her mother.

Years of blows also made her life state more and more decadent, wandering around all day like a ghost, with disheveled hair.

Liu Lan, who loved her daughter dearly, had to confine her daughter in the villa, but it was of no use.

In that darkest moment of her life, Liu Mengyuan suddenly remembered—

The only thing in her limited life that could be considered an accomplishment was making a game with Lu Yu and winning an award. It was also her happiest time. She finally realized who she really cared about.

And learning from her classmates that Lu Yu had died suddenly was the last straw that broke her back. She knew it was all too late...

"Long time no see."

Lu Yu subconsciously opened his mouth, immediately realizing that he had misspoke.

In the current timeline, he and Liu Mengyuan had only not seen each other for at most a year. Crap, wouldn't he be exposing his identity as a transmigrator!

Who knew that Liu Mengyuan didn't realize his mistake at all. The corners of her mouth smiled slightly, revealing cute dimples, and she replied in the same way:

"Long time no see."

The morning light shone on the girl's dark hair, outlining a faint golden halo, causing Lu Yu's heart to skip half a beat.
