Chen Mo sat quietly in his apartment,reviewing the system interface.
The numbers had climbed steadily throughout the day.

Only a few more points were needed.
Across the city, Golden Leaf Tea's management was arguing about the recent supply delays.
Several store managers were frustrated.
Customers had begun complaining online.
The system responded immediately.
Frustration +12
The total crossed the threshold.
The screen flickered.
Then a message appeared.
[Evolution Requirement Met]
Chen Mo straightened slightly.
The system interface expanded as a new process began.

For several seconds, the screen glowed softly.
Then the new panel appeared.

Chen Mo examined the new feature carefully.
Market Prediction could simulate the likely reactions of competitors, suppliers, and consumers.
It wasn't perfect.
But it allowed him to anticipate major market movements.
Another notification appeared.

The system was evolving faster than expected.
Chen Mo smiled faintly.
The game had just become much more interesting.
