Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

This was the first time Chuci saw the concrete manifestation of "a record full of victories"; he had only heard Jiang Yuan mention it in passing before.

At that time, when the other party was excitedly saying that the performance of nineteen companies could be checked, he didn't think much of it. He trusted Jiang Yuan's character and believed him directly. Little did he expect that lining up the records of nineteen companies would be so impactful. Chuci chuckled and said, "The resume needs updating, add Languzi, twenty companies!"

"These are just the companies where I've formally worked." Jiang Yuan explained with a frown: "I didn't list the ones that went bankrupt while I did small side jobs, even while handing out flyers as a part-time job, I managed to bring down two restaurants and a small supermarket."

Chuci: …

What a Causality Weapon!

Now that I'm running a company selling incense sticks, it shouldn't go bust... Then it dawned on him that Jiang Yuan started a company to sell fruits, but now, even while invoicing, he's still under the guise of a trading company. Fact is, he's stopped selling fruits and switched to incense sticks. Does that count as making himself go bust once?

He's so ruthless that he doesn't even spare himself, his life chart is indeed tough!

Now it's not just Jiang Yuan; even Chuci was very curious and immediately sought out information to find out what happened to those nineteen companies after Causality Weapon joined them.

The well-connected rich second generation sprang into action with remarkable results. The next day, after forwarding the list, there was news.

"Bro, tell me how you precisely sniped companies where none were real fun?" Chuci, looking at the feedback results, was amused and relieved from the anxiety of ruining his own business by getting entangled with the law of cause and effect.

His father is a businessman, sure, but not a swindler; he's made tangible contributions as a major local taxpayer and has contributed significantly to the economy, far better than the companies triggering the Causality Weapon, probably immune to its curse.

"This pharmaceutical company, it's the one that sold the department you were in, had a production line making fake drugs to scam the elderly."

Saying it was a Divine Medicine to cure illnesses, it actually had a health product label, with pills made of sugar-coated flour. They scammed a lot of patients, earning dirty money, always facing disputes yearly but always settling them. After you joined for a month and a half, the company's major backer fell."

The boss tried to re-evaluate and flee claiming investment failure, but even selling the department you were in didn't save him. Now, anyone involved with the fake drug production line—corporate entity, boss, manager from the pharmaceutical company—has been taken in."

Jiang Yuan looked bewildered, "This is such a big deal, how come I didn't hear a thing?"

Chuci gave him a meaningful glance, "The news didn't get widespread coverage, overshadowed by various entertainment hot searches. Selling fake drugs, there are disputes every year, and you didn't see any news either, did you?"

"Then what about the pharmaceutical company that took over? Why did it go bust too?"

"After buying it at a low price and almost monopolizing the supply market, the boss made a fortune and got cocky, taking two young secretaries to Macau, stayed for half a month, and lost even his underpants. The fund chain snapped directly, seized by the competition, leading to the market being split, and he could only declare bankruptcy under a mountain of debt."

With a speechless face, Jiang Yuan took over the organized information from Chuci, skimmed through them with ten lines at a glance, sure enough, not a single company was innocent.

Even the most absurd was a gym, where after working for half a month, it closed down.

He always suspected it was a membership scam that even fooled employees. But today, seeing the information Chuci had inquired about, he realized the absurdity of the reality—the gym owner was actually a murderer!

Years ago, he got into a dispute with a business partner and killed them, absconding with all the profits, assuming a new identity, as there had been no more clues to solve the case due to the elapsed time.

The murderer had done quite well for himself, besides the gym, he owned two other companies.

Originally living peacefully until he couldn't find other jobs and joined the gym, he was responsible for cleaning, maintaining gym equipment, and worked as a server for half a month. The murderous owner suddenly discovered his youngest son didn't look like him.

And yet, the youngest son was born by the young, pretty receptionist, who was only twenty-one, whom he married after kicking out two former wives.

Fearing being cuckolded and raising someone else's son, he secretly took the kid for a paternity test.

Good news: the child was his own; bad news: the murder case DNA matched…

The murderer was arrested, three wives and five kids fought over the property, and one of the assets, the gym, closed for good.

"I'm just... jinxed, right?" Jiang Yuan didn't know what to say. Aside from the advertising company and Languzi, all other jobs were found through random online resume submissions!

Randomly submitting resumes and randomly getting hired, even until the jobs were gone, he didn't know the causality behind his bosses' various shady operations leading to bankruptcy. Saying I caused them to go bankrupt, how wronged would that be!

"Bro, I actually really envy your life chart, really." Chuci looked at him seriously, "A paragon of law enforcement! If you could take down all those crooked bosses, the entire nation would thank you."

Well then, I should thank you, oh, for directly crowning me with such a high hat.

"But it's a shame it's not strong enough." Jiang Yuan smiled, teasing, "Look at those big companies, they don't want me at all. Didn't I face all sorts of impediments entering the Languzi headquarters back then too? It's likely that my curse isn't strong enough."

He said so but really wanted to find another company clearly deserving of bankruptcy to test it, the Causality Weapon was secondary, Jiang Yuan was most curious if he could take down another formally employed company, would the system exchange rate become 1:21?

But such companies are rare and he didn't want to recklessly seek out a seemingly crooked company just to satisfy his curiosity, lest he mistaken and harm innocent people?

With the current bad environment, it's already hard to find a job, so sudden unemployment and a high likelihood of not getting paid, just thinking about it was pretty bleak.

With many concerns, Jiang Yuan didn't carry out the plan immediately but monitored current events quietly, looking for a suitable opportunity to "punish evil and promote good."

During the following "vacation" time, he woke up naturally every day to jog, watch dramas, play games, and sometimes made paper crafts to gain experience, while using the technique taught by the Yin Mountain corpse to periodically let the female ghosts who occasionally visited give dreams to his family.

As the summer solstice approached and street barbecue stalls became lively, Liu Qiang, detained in the mental hospital, finally couldn't bear the torment and passed away.

Upon investigation, numerous case details he "confessed" before his death indeed matched, and there was even direct evidence in an early murder case to surely prove Liu Qiang was the murderer, although there was no evidence in other cases, the inference made it clear.

The female ghosts queued to dissipate their lingering spirits, taking their little ones through a portal only they could see, Jiang Yuan watched them disappear after expressing immense gratitude to him, feeling a bit melancholic.

Growing up in the rural hometown, he heard many ghost stories, each with a poignant reason behind it.

Having personally experienced it, he truly didn't dare to imagine how many evil scoundrels like Liu Qiang are hiding in the sea of people, using illicit means to harm the innocent.

"I hope everyone is equal in the Netherworld's reincarnation, and those who deserve to go to Hell end up in the Eighteen Layers of Hell!" Jiang Yuan sighed, quietly tidying up the "playground" he had set up in the walk-in closet for the little ones.

Another day, he'll have to consider fashioning a few comfortable outfits to hang up so he'll have some decent attires when heading out…

As he was thinking, suddenly, Yang Hongye's slightly panicked voice called from next door, "Jiang Yuan? Jiang Yuan, are you at home?"
