Chapter 173: The 3,000x Multiplier and A Little Salary for My Beautiful Wife

Sitting in his cozy office on the second floor, Yu Liang poured a cup of hot spiritual tea for Mei Hua before taking a seat across from her. The room was giving a relaxing feeling, a stark contrast to the bustling restaurant downstairs.

He took a sip of the tea and casually asked, "Mei, how much backup funds are remaining in the restaurant’s accounts?"

Mei Hua set her teacup down and closed her eyes for a moment, her divine sense sweeped through the spatial ring she uses for the restaurant’s finances.

"Currently, there are about 250 Million Mid Grade Spiritual Stones left," she replied, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She looked at him. "With the recent massive increase in customers and the rising cost of High Tier Spiritual Ingredients, at this rate of consumption, this fund will be finished in maybe one or two days. I was actually planning to ask you if we should temporarily halt the purchase of Tier 3 ingredients or increase it..."

Yu Liang nodded calmly. "I see. Give me all the remaining funds."

Mei Hua was slightly surprised but didn’t question him. She knew her husband had his own plans. With a thought, she transferred the entire 250 Million Mid Grade Spiritual Stones from the restaurant’s spatial ring to his.

Yu Liang received the transfer. He held the ring in his hand. He stopped for a little, his mind started racing with the thoughts about system’s rules. Then, he handed the ring back to her.

"Actually, keep it," Yu Liang said with a faint smile. "It’s for the next day’s expenses. Don’t stop any purchases like usual and if needed any more just ask me."

The moment the ring left his hand, a series of crisp, mechanical notifications was heard in his mind.

[ Ding! Host has spent 250,000,000 Million Mid Grade Spiritual Stones ]

[ Multiplier Triggered: 1000x! ]

[ Host Receives 250,000,000,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones ]

Hearing the system’s voice, Yu Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.

’So it works like this too,’ he thought happily. ’Even though I gave the money to her and then took it back, as long as it is my money and it’s me who’s spending, it still counts! I’m not completely broke anymore!’

He wasn’t sure whether the money would still count as his spending after giving it to her and then taking it back. After all, it was already returned by the system and although it was his money, he had technically used system multiplier before using it again. He thought that system might not recognize such thing as a spending but the result proved otherwise.

’As expected, the system is still the greatest system ever! It really does allow me to do anything!’

His inventory was no longer empty. It now contained a staggering 250 Billion Mid Grade Spiritual Stones.

But Yu Liang wasn’t done. He looked at Mei Hua, who was busy recalculating the kitchen’s daily expenses, and waved his hand.

"Here," Yu Liang said, transferring the entire 250 Billion Mid Grade Spiritual Stones directly into his spatial ring. "It is this month’s operating money. Use it as you see fit."

The moment the massive sum arrived at Mei Hua’s hand, the system notifications chimed again.

[ Ding! Host has Spent 250,000,000,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones ]

[ Multiplier Triggered: 3,000x ]

[ Host Receives 750,000,000,000,000 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones ]

Yu Liang’s eyes shone brightly. 750 Trillion He was now once again richer than entire small tier righteous sects.

Meanwhile, Mei Hua, who had just received the 250 billion, was completely dumbfounded. Her beautiful eyes were staring at Yu Liang as if his strange quirk once again kicked in.

"My Love..." she said while sighing. "This is 250 Billion Mid Grade Spiritual Stones. This is way more than what’s needed for the restaurant at moment. Even if we buy the most expensive ingredients in the world, we couldn’t spend this in a month! Did you still intend the transfer?"

Yu Liang chuckled, standing up and walking over to her. He gently pulled her out of her chair and sat down in its place, then pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

"No mistake," Yu Liang said, his breath tickled her ear. "The restaurant needs what it needs. The rest? Well, let’s give it to the staff as bonuses, as you see fit. Chen Ming, Wan Jing, Auntie Mei, and the others have been working their bones to the ground lately. Reward them generously."

Mei Hua rested her head against his chest, listening to him. She looked up at him, her eyes flowing with emotion. "And what about the remaining? We can’t just give the staff billions in bonuses!"

Yu Liang smirked, his hand gently cupping her beautiful face. His thumb lightly stroked her soft cheek.

"The remaining behind is your little salary My Darling," he said smoothly, his tone filled with full of doting affection.

Mei Hua’s face instantly bloomed into a beautiful smile. She lightly slapped his chest, though there was no real force behind it. "Little salary? Young Master Yu Liang, you are talking nonsense! This ’little salary’ is not enough me. How can you call it a little salary when it will not be enough for me?"

"Well," Yu Liang teased, leaning in closer, his nose brushing against hers. "If my beautiful manager thinks it’s too little, I can just take it back and put it in the restaurant’s fund..."

"No!" Mei Hua instantly wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, her eyes flashed with a rare, possessive stubbornness. "It’s already in my ring! It’s mine now! You are not taking it back!"

Seeing her rare, cute display of greed, Yu Liang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"You are so beautiful when you are greedy," he murmured, his gaze dropping to her soft lips.

"I am just protecting my hard earned little salary that’s it" Mei Hua retorted softly, her breath become slightly warm as his face drew closer.

Yu Liang didn’t say anything more. He simply tilted his head and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Mei Hua melted into his embrace instantly, her eyes completely shut as she returned the kiss with equal sweetness.

She then wrapped her arms around him, moving closer as the two shared a long kiss.

When they finally parted, Mei Hua kept her arms around him, her cheeks slightly red. She looked at him for a moment before lowering her head against his chest.

Yu Liang smiled and gently stroked her hair.
