After hanging up with his sister Bella, Evan eagerly opened the "Try Your Luck" module on the system panel. The Super Rich System did reward him with a draw, and who knows? Maybe luck would grant him the jackpot.
As he entered the draw module, a huge spinning wheel appeared before him, its blue pointer whirling at breakneck speed. The wheel itself was divided into five colored sections—red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
The red section, marked with "Thank You for Playing," took up more than 60% of the wheel. The yellow section, about 20%, offered a "Random Prize." Green, taking up roughly 10%, allowed a choice of any item from the Superpower Market valued under 300 Super Rich Coins. Blue, at 7%, offered any item under 5000 Super Rich Coins. The smallest slice was purple, a mere 3%, tantalizingly labeled with "Choice of any item from the Superpower Market!"
My God! Any item from the Superpower Market?
This is insane.
"Lady Luck, bestow your grace upon me!" Evan rubbed his hands together in anticipation and initiated the draw.
The blue pointer came to a halt at "Start" before spinning with renewed vigor, gradually slowing down after reaching its peak speed, lifting Evan's heart into his throat.
"Purple! Purple! Purple!" Evan chanted inwardly as the pointer slowed even further, inching ever closer to the purple zone.
"Oh, my God!" Evan couldn't contain his excitement. "Am I truly the chosen one? Not only do I have the Super Rich System, but am I about to land on purple?"
His jubilation was premature, as the pointer glided past the purple section and settled into the yellow zone, coming to a definitive stop.
"This..."
Evan was dumbstruck.
"Congratulations, Host. You have received a random prize from the system!" announced the Super Rich System's voice in the depths of his mind.
Evan sighed, "Well, something is better than nothing. Let's see what I've won."
With a flash of gold, a yellow book materialized in his right hand. He glanced at the title and gasped in shock. Damn, the system's hiding erotica? The title was assertively bold—《Bedroom Technique》!
Ahem, as a gentleman of virtue, how could I indulge in such salacious reading? The system's rather roguish to bestow such a book on me!
While internally grumbling, he flipped through the pages in haste.
And then, in the blink of an eye, all the words vanished from the pages, transforming into a stream of golden light that shot straight into his head.
"Is that it? I've learned everything?"
"I haven’t even started reading, and the book is gone? Also, what's the point of giving a virgin a copy of 《Bedroom Technique》?"
"Host has completed the learning process. The knowledge from the book is now embedded in your mind, ready for recall whenever necessary," explained the Super Rich System. "Moreover, it's not accurate to say a virgin doesn't need this book. As the Host of the Super Rich System, reaching the pinnacle of life is inevitable, and when the time comes, beauties will fall into your arms..."
"..."
Having exited the draw module, Evan proceeded to open the "Loser’s Funds" section. Though he hadn't snagged a top prize, at least he could take comfort in checking his balance—surely that would lift his spirits.
He was instantly taken aback upon opening the module.
The system was funneling $100 per second into his account—a startling rate indeed!
In just four hours and thirteen minutes, his bank account had ballooned to $1,518,376!
$1,518,376.
My God, what a shock! In his nineteen years, Evan had never seen such an amount of money. One million five hundred eighteen thousand! Real money that was all his!
And the sum was still climbing. Such a feeling was simply too wonderful.
"Ding! The Superpower Market is now open. Host may use Super Rich Coins to purchase any item within! Each item is clearly priced."
"Ding! Host currently holds the status of Tycoon Apprentice. Having spent $31.58 million, you are $9,968.42 million away from reaching the second level, Tycoon Employee."
The Superpower Market is open?
Upon hearing the system notification, Evan quickly navigated to the previously inaccessible "Superpower Market" tab on the system panel. But his initial excitement plummeted almost immediately.
Why were these items so expensive?!
Taekwondo Mastery, 300 Super Rich Coins!
Medical Mastery, 300 Super Rich Coins!
Revival Pill, 100 Super Rich Coins!
Elixir of Eternal Youth, 50 Super Rich Coins!
Square Dancing Mastery, 5 Super Rich Coins!
Super Memory Technique, 10 Super Rich Coins!
What? There seemed to be some odd items mixed in there!
On a closer look, Evan couldn't help but curse. Square Dancing Mastery? And it cost 5 Super Rich Coins? What was he supposed to do with that—join the elderly in the park and become the dance king?
Where were the promised Invisibility Technique or Iron Man suits? Nowhere to be seen.
"Scam system!"
Glancing at the Superpower Market's wallet icon, which pitifully contained just a single Super Rich Coin, Evan couldn't help but inwardly rant, "Fuck, I can't even afford the most basic 'Square Dancing Mastery.' What good is the Superpower Market to me?"
"Should you find it unnecessary, the system can assist you in uninstalling the Superpower Market module," the Super Rich System offered in its impassive tone. "If you've made your decision, simply think 'uninstall,' and the system will promptly remove it. Additionally, the system would like to remind you that if you can't afford to buy and are in urgent need, you could consider renting."
Evan detected a hint of disdain in that emotionless voice—was the system looking down on him?
"Ahem, no need for that," Evan coughed awkwardly. "You mentioned the Superpower Market contained Invisibility Technique and Iron Man suits. Why can't I see them?"
"The Invisibility Technique is there; you just haven't found it. The Iron Man suits are available too," the system responded.
"But can you afford them?"
"Fuck!"
"Wait!"
A sudden burst of inspiration struck him, recalling the system's recent words. He quickly inquired, "You said there's really an Invisibility Technique in the Superpower Market? Well, then pull it up to the front page for me. That's one superpower I've dreamed of since my youth!"
Looks like I won't be able to afford it, but having it displayed there, to gaze upon daily—it's a goal!Evan had been enamored with the Invisibility Technique since childhood. The thought of it—such a divine skill! Sneaking peeks at bathing beauties, eavesdropping on boudoir secrets—it all seemed rather thrilling."Why display it on the homepage when it costs 400 Super Rich Coins? Can you afford it?""Can't I just look?"Perhaps Evan's brazen attitude wore it down, because this time the system didn't retort. It simply placed the Invisibility Technique on the Superpower Market's homepage."Invisibility Technique Potion, 400 Super Rich Coins!"Evan scrutinized the description below: Upon consumption, the Host will permanently gain the ability to become invisible. Given the Host's skepticism about this potion, you are granted a single trial use. The trial version has limited functionality but will amply demonstrate the potion's invisibility effects. Price—1 Super Rich Coin.Evan grinned,
"Ahh!"Daisy's scream pierced the air, her nails digging into her own flesh, the sharp pain a desperate bid for clarity.But what good did a shred of lucidity do when her body was ablaze with fever, her clothes soaked through with sweat, and her heart felt as though millions of ants were gnawing at her from the inside out? She moaned uncontrollably, a sound that filled her with shame and embarrassment. She tried to restrain herself, but her body wouldn't obey.Evan, hidden in the underbrush, found himself in a quandary. The idea of a heroic rescue was stirring, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulty.That Derek Walker was no pushover, and with several black-suited bodyguards in tow who looked like they knew how to handle themselves, it was no small feat.Not to mention, saving Daisy now would mean he had confronted the sons of two powerful figures—first Anthony Taylor, the mayor's son, and now Derek Walker, the district mayor's son.What if they joined forces in retaliation? W
Evan flared up in anger: "Get it straight, will you? If it weren't for me, you would've been violated by now!"As he finished speaking, he paused abruptly, a realization dawning on him, and he quickly examined his own body."When did the drug's effect wear off!""Whatever, it's over now, and the person is saved. Time to leave, goodbye!" Indifferent to Daisy's plight, he walked straight to the shore.Behind him, no sooner had he taken a step forward than Daisy suddenly began to sink."Damn it!" Evan plunged back into the water in response.Daisy, who had choked on a couple of mouthfuls of water, struggled instinctively and then grasped onto something. At the very moment she did, Evan, who was holding onto Daisy's waist, froze in place."Let go!" he barked in anger.Freed from the water's surface by his command, Daisy, shivering, immediately released her hold.Fortunately, her body was limp from the drug and lacked the strength to cling firmly, or Evan would have been in tears by now."
"Sure thing, Manager Hunt," the sales associates replied in unison."Hey, could you help me take a look at that blazer?" Evan, amused by Scott's charade, pointed at a British-style blazer and said to the sales associates with a smile, "That piece looks quite sharp. It would look handsome on me. Could you bring it down for me to try on?"One of the sales associates, with a sharp face resembling a fox, was about to leave. Hearing Evan's request, she paused and threw a mocking glance over her shoulder at Scott, "Sir, why don't you browse the other section? There’s a sale going on, and it's quite a bargain."However, the other sales associate, with a round face, quickly fetched a clothes pole, eager to assist Evan. A customer's request to try on clothes was commonplace. Even though the newly appointed Manager Hunt had just signaled not to attend to this particular customer, they were still a patron, and the employee handbook clearly stated that no customer should be neglected."What are y
5 minutes later.Seven or eight burly men pushed open the glass door of H&M, asking crudely, "May I ask if everything here needs to be packed up and moved out?""Packed up and moved out?"Vanessa had gone up to greet them, thinking there were customers she could snatch. But upon hearing this, she was utterly confused, "Who are you people? Our store is operating fine here, why does it need to be packed up and moved?""Oh, my mistake, didn't explain clearly."A dark-skinned brawny man walked out from the group of seven or eight people. He scratched his head and bellowed, "Just now a customer came to find us, asking us to move all the clothes here away. He said he's buying everything in this store."Gasp!As soon as he said this, it shocked everyone present!Not just the sales associates, even the customers on site were stunned motionless."Who is it, who's so generous to buy out the entire store?!""The clothes here are worth over $30 million. Who has so much money to buy everything?""
"Yes!"Hearing the woman say this, the gold-rimmed glasses man swiftly shut her door and sat in the front passenger seat, keeping silent.This was Isaac Robinson, marketing director of Clark Group's apparel department. And the woman was the renowned Chairwoman of Clark Group - Daisy Clark.The very same school belle that Evan had just saved half an hour ago in the hills behind campus!Life really is full of coincidences and surprises everywhere!After marketing director Brian Davis and regional manager Caleb Martin were also seated, Daisy removed her mask. With a stern face she asked, "So what exactly is this complaint about? Tell me the situation!"Caleb Martin quickly took over explaining, "There's a young man called Evan who came to our Lumina City branch to buy clothes. The store manager and a female sales associate looked down on him tremendously. So this Evan made a complaint call.""The situation isn't just that."Marketing director Brian Davis took over, continuing, "This youn
While Daisy and her inspection team rushed over, Scott Hunt had already started defending himself."What grounds do you have to complain about me?"Scott Hunt glanced at the customers in the store, signaling Vanessa to chase them out first. Then he stood before Evan, arguing slyly, "Did I stop you from buying clothes?"Watching customers getting kicked out one by one, Evan naturally knew Scott Hunt's intention - eliminating witnesses!After all, the inspection team wasn't here just to listen to Evan's side. Of course they wouldn't simply believe Scott Hunt either. Relevant evidence would be needed to make a judgment. Now with the witnesses gone, Evan lost a lethal weapon. Speaking of evidence, Evan looked up at the surveillance cameras in the store. He noticed another detail - the indicator lights had stayed off since he entered!Meaning the surveillance system had been manually turned off the moment he stepped foot in the store!This was exactly the same tactic used to frame Evan ba
"Not satisfied!"Evan pointed at Sofia, "She's very good. Truly treating customers as gods and knowing your company regulations perfectly. Doesn't such talent deserve some reward?""I see!" The corners of Daisy's lips curled up. She announced again, "Effective immediately, Sofia is appointed manager of the H&M boutique. Her appointment letter will arrive shortly!"However, when announcing Sofia as manager this time, an inexplicable sourness welled up in her heart. This sourness gradually revealed disappointment on her face."Mr. Smith, are you satisfied now?"Daisy carefully hid her disappointment and took out a name card from her wallet, saying to Evan, "This is my name card. Since you bought our entire store inventory, you're a major customer of our company. If you have any other opinions in the future, you can directly call my private number. Also, I'll have someone deliver the clothes you bought back for you.""No need, I called a moving company!"Evan didn't take her name card.
