"Help! Help..."

Lin Tao lost his body and fell into the torrent of the Huangpu River. His mouth was full of water, and his body became heavier and heavier, making him light-headed and top-heavy.

He is 26 years old. After graduating from college, he worked in a foreign company 996. The money was not much, but the work was boring and he was squeezed out of everything.

Three years later, Lin Tao got excited and fired his boss, quit his job and started his own business, dreaming of becoming a "Grandma Ali".

He took a fancy to an online fruit franchisee, who promised that Lin Tao would only be responsible for finding a shop, and that he could provide one-stop services for design, decoration, purchasing, materials, and store clerk training.

Do it!

Lin Tao ignored the strong opposition of his parents, relatives and friends, and even borrowed money from various sources, investing 300,000 yuan to join the franchise...

Unexpectedly, as soon as the store opened, it encountered rotten fruits, high prices and poor quality, malicious competition from peers, and even a 100% return rate for takeout orders, and bad reviews.

What made Lin Tao even more distressed was that after the online fruit franchise store collected 150,000 yuan, he immediately ran away with the bucket and disappeared.

For more than half a year, with his hard work and diligence, Lin Tao not only lost all his 300,000 yuan in principal, but also incurred a debt of 200,000 yuan!

It can be said that everything is lost!

Tonight, he went for a walk on the Bund after drinking. Thinking of his current debt situation and his future life, he regretted it.

Unexpectedly, his foot slipped, his body lost balance, and he accidentally fell into the Huangpu River.

No matter what, I am a complete loser. I have no chance to turn around in this life. I have no job, no money, no face to see my parents, no face to see my girlfriend, no face to see my friends...

[Ding! Failure in life is not terrible, what is terrible is losing courage and self-confidence]

"Who, who is talking?" When Lin Tao's consciousness was dim, a thick voice suddenly came from his ears.

[Ding! It is detected that the host's life is in danger. Do you need to bind the "Fruit Attribute Spell System" to turn your wealth and life around?

What!

At the moment of Lin Tao's life and death, the system's electronic voice came from his mind.

"Wealth and life have turned around..." Lin Tao couldn't believe his ears.

His life was too useless and a failure. If he had a chance to make a comeback, Lin Tao would never make the same mistakes again!

"Bind the system! Let me make a comeback, let me fly..." Lin Tao sank into the river and spoke with the last bit of his strength.

[Ding! The "Fruit Attribute Spell System" is being bound, the progress is 38%...]

[Ding, the "Fruit Attribute Spell System" is 100% loaded successfully, and the attribute panel is being opened for you]

Lin Tao closed his eyes, and a clear electronic panel suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Host: Lin Tao]

【Age: 26 years old】

[Binded store: Store name Fruit Man, address: No. 100 Pudu Road]

[Level: LV1, upgrade to LV2 (0/1000 points)]

[Skill cooldown: 6 days]

[Skills: freshness (unlocked), sweetness (unlocked), taste (unlocked), crispy-sweet/glutinous-soft (unlocked), fragrance (unlocked), size (unlocked)]

[Explanation of skills: The host can choose any skill and add it to the fruit, which can immediately change the attributes of the fruit. "Skill cooldown" refers to the interval after using the skill once. If there are repeat customers, 1 "point" can be added each time, and the points are accumulated

It can be upgraded later to unlock more skills, reduce the cooling time, and draw rewards and other marketing methods]

Lin Tao immediately understood that there were currently 6 skills on the panel.

Preservation skills can keep fruits as fresh as they were picked; sweetness, as the name suggests, can increase the sweetness of fruits; taste refers to changing the appearance of fruits, crispy-sweet/glutinous-soft should be the taste of fruits, as for fragrance and size

It will be easier to understand.

These skills are crucial for fruit selling!

Fresh, delicious and beautiful fruits, don’t worry about lack of sales!

Great, Lin Tao knows that sometimes even just changing one attribute of a fruit is enough to make the fruit sell better than its peers.

[The system has been activated, does the host receive the "Newbie Gift Pack"?]

Hoho!

"Get it!" Lin Tao said without hesitation, why should I ask?

[Ding! Congratulations, you received 80,000 yuan in entrepreneurial funds and unlocked the "preservation" skill!]

At this time, in Lin Tao's mind, the "Preservation" skill was displayed as "unlocked", and the color also changed from gray to green.

This shows that Lin Tao can already use this skill and can change the attributes of fruits as he wishes.

In addition, the 80,000 yuan rewarded by the system also reached Lin Tao's bank account simultaneously.

At this time, Lin Tao could no longer hold on and gradually lost consciousness in the water...

"Wake up, wake up!"

"I, where am I?" Lin Tao opened his eyes again and found a group of people surrounding him.

It turned out that after Lin Tao fell into the river, two kind people jumped into the river and risked their lives to rescue him.

"Look, he's alive, right? Fortunately, I gave him artificial respiration." A bearded man said happily.

"What happened to him? He is so young, what can't he think about?" an aunt said with regret.

"Have you lost your love? There are so many girls in the world, there is no need to hang yourself from a tree." A middle-aged uncle said seriously.

Everyone was talking and talking. They all thought that Lin Tao had been hit and had committed suicide because of his troubles. They were all trying to comfort him.

This made Lin Tao feel a touch of human warmth.

Yes, it doesn’t matter if you fail. I’m still young. As long as you don’t give up, there are plenty of opportunities for you to make a comeback in your life.

Cheer up, Lin Tao!

Wherever you fail, start again!

After Lin Tao stood up, he thanked everyone, and then bowed deeply to thank the two brave saviors.

He secretly vowed in his heart that if one day he became famous, he would repay his two benefactors well.

Lin Tao returned home exhausted physically and mentally, made a bucket of instant noodles, and then fell asleep.

This was the most comfortable sleep he had had in the past six months.

"Ring, ring, ring..." Just after 10 o'clock the next morning, the phone rang.

Lin Tao opened his sleepy eyes and saw the caller ID of "Zhao Manli".

Zhao Manli is Lin Tao's girlfriend who has been in love for many years. She is tall and tall. She is currently a small anchor with more than 10,000 fans. When they were in their senior year, they established a relationship and were envied by their friends.

"Do you still want to sleep? You are famous now, and the whole world knows your scandal!" Zhao Manli yelled on her mobile phone.

Is this scandal known to the whole world?

Lin Tao was confused.

"Didn't you read today's hot search? A young man from Shanghai committed suicide after his business failed and went bankrupt. After jumping into the river, everyone worked together to save him, which attracted social attention..." said his girlfriend Zhao Manli.

What, your accidental fall into the river yesterday was in the media?

Lin Tao was so excited that he jumped up from the bed and quickly opened the trending news.

"Failed to commit suicide after starting a business, the anxiety of contemporary young people has increased, causing concern."

"The Huangpu River has no cover. Behind the suicide of young people is the pathology of high consumption and low income!"

"Miao Zhen, a psychology doctor from Dongfang University, pointed out that psychological counseling should be strengthened for young people before and after starting their own businesses."

Good guy, so many skin-changing posts...

Unexpectedly, Lin Tao became a hot search topic, and all the pictures showed him looking swollen and completely drained of energy after he fell into the water and was rescued.

The ability to search online is so powerful that one can find out everything about Lin Tao’s past history with just one picture.

And one of the articles has more than 1 million clicks, more than 50,000 reposts, and 5,000 comments

"Starting a business? That's a matter for the rich second generation. If you don't have a financial backer dad, what kind of international joke are you kidding?"

"Last year I sold toothpicks online and actually lost more than 30,000 yuan..."

"You are still too young and have never been beaten up by society. Finding a factory to tighten screws for 3,000 yuan a month is better than starting a business!"

The comments under the post were almost overwhelmingly one-sided, condemning Lin Tao for starting a business without knowing the bounds of the world. Failure is inevitable, suicide is undesirable, and it is a sign of cowardice.

Lin Tao looked at these "shocking" posts and comments and felt dumbfounded.

It is true that he failed to start a business and still owed a lot of debt, but he did not give up, nor did he think of committing suicide.

The fall into the river last night was a complete accident. Unexpectedly, some uploaders took quotes out of context. No one has interviewed him, and they made up the content entirely based on their imagination.

Thousands of netizens were unable to argue with Lin Tao. He was labeled as someone who "started his business, went bankrupt and committed suicide."

"Manli, please listen to my explanation. I didn't commit suicide yesterday. It was a complete accident..." Lin Tao hurriedly defended.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it! Now that the whole world knows about your bankruptcy, where do you want me to put my face? You said you would buy me a Tomson first-class house, a Cullinan off-road vehicle, and...
