Highlights
Xu Yang is overwhelmed by financial difficulties, including a million-dollar mortgage and two sons, when he learns his wife is pregnant with twins. He is then unexpectedly laid off from his company due to poor profitability, increasing his despair.
As Xu Yang considers giving up the twins due to immense pressure, a 'Plain and Simple Labor System' is forcibly bound to him. The system promises rewards for accumulating 'labor value,' encouraging him not to give up on his babies.
After accumulating 100 labor value points from household chores and picking up his sons from school, Xu Yang activates a lucky draw. He wins the second prize in a lottery, totaling 580,000 dollars, which inspires him and his wife to keep the twins and work towards a better life.
Xu Yang invests his newfound attributes into fishing skills and a 'Super Fish Powder,' leading him to catch valuable fish like a 4-pound rat grouper and a 40-pound pontoon, earning him significant amounts of money. His continuous success in fishing, including catching rare yellowtail and lobster, rapidly increases his family's wealth, allowing them to afford a villa.
With their accumulated wealth, Xu Yang and his wife purchase a villa, aided by a house purchase coupon won through the system. He decides to open a child development center, utilizing his enhanced caregiving skills, which rapidly gains popularity and earns him more 'labor value'.
Xu Yang uses a Berserk Potion from the system to protect his son from a falling object, showcasing his growing abilities. Later, alerted by his danger warning device, he narrowly escapes an attack from Zhang Bo, a competitor who is after a goose recipe. A criminal appearance card reveals Zhang Bo's extensive criminal activities, including murder, leading Xu Yang to uncover evidence that leads to Zhang Bo's arrest.
Xu Yang's parents, initially skeptical about his unemployment, are amazed by his financial success, new villa, and his wife's twin pregnancy. His father-in-law, a seasoned fisherman, witnesses Xu Yang's extraordinary fishing skills, further solidifying his family's trust and admiration. A sudden emergency with his father, detected by the medical experience card, quickly resolves, highlighting the family's unity and strength in overcoming challenges.
Xu Yang's wife gives birth to twin girls, bringing immense joy to the family. The 'Labor Value System' undergoes an upgrade, promising even greater rewards and encouraging Xu Yang to continue his diligent efforts. The family embraces their new life, celebrating their growth and happiness.
