At long, grueling last, as everyone neared total physical expenditure, Evan stated flatly, "Very well, the aerobic interval work is done. Take a brief rest.""Huhh..." They collapsed bonelessly to the ground, gulping air. Even the thought of hating Sean seemed too strenuous an exertion in their depleted state.Yet scarcely five minutes had passed before Evan's lips curled in his trademark half-smile. "You all seem quite fatigued. So to provide some...incentive, I had Mr. Sean procure fifty million dollars in cash. Whoever meets my performance targets will receive ten million per challenge!"Whoosh! Suddenly reinvigorated, their eyes glinted with fervor! Even Sean's widened, the figures far exceeding his $2.5 million guesstimate. Ten million? F-fuck!Watching them renew their zeal, Evan chuckled. "Ah, the invigorating power of monetary motivation. Very well, we'll start with the anaerobic work triggering bonuses.""First exercise - push-ups. Each must complete fifty in five minut
"But we're ravenous!" the trio cried piteously."Truly?" Evan eyed them all, that inscrutable half-smile playing across his lips. "Yes! Just a quick breakfast, then nothing else all day," they nodded emphatically."Very well." Evan snapped his fingers, and five delivery workers hauled in five boxes of apples."If you're that hungry, have apples. One per meal, substituting your full course!"...A collective silence fell over them. They all knew apples facilitated weight loss, but their fatal flaw - you felt full right after eating one, but within half an hour, the hunger would intensify, as the body expended more energy digesting them than they provided."Mr. Smith, when did you even order these apples?""Just while you were filming. Uber Eats - you deserve to have it. I do need to monitor your diets!"...That afternoon, Evan's training regimen matched the morning's - first aerobic interval running, then anaerobic exercises. By the grueling routine's end, all were sprawled, spent.
"How...fortuitous?" Evan's brows arched in surprise. For each to have shed precisely one pound seemed too coincidental an outcome. Moreover, for the other crew members to emerge from that grueling regimen still failing to lose weight?Such improbable happenstance strained credulity."Indeed, it is quite a coincidence. Nevertheless, it is already impressive that Mr. Johnson, Mr. Devin, and the others have managed to lose weight, especially compared to the rest of us in Lumina City. Not a single person has come to file a claim with us these past few days!""Very well! Then process their claims!" Evan nodded calmly, his expression unperturbed.Yet inwardly, turbulent waves raged within him."Understood!""Mr. Smith, I've calculated the amounts. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Devin, and Mr. Sean each purchased a $400,000 weight-loss insurance policy, so they can each claim $400 million. Leander, Ophelia, Caius, and Seraphina also bought $100,000 policies, entitling each of them to $100 million."Evan
"You have proven your prowess!" The System erupted in a childlike tantrum."I shall revoke the Fortune Drink's effects immediately. I cannot allow you to continue basking in this streak of fortune after such treachery!""Be my guest!" Evan guffawed robustly. "The sooner, the better! Possessing this aura of auspicious luck has left me teetering on tenterhooks these past few weeks. Moreover, let me remind you - do you truly believe my current capabilities require the Fortune Drink's augmentation? Humph, sheer might transcends all!"The Super Rich System fell silent once more.After completing the Super Rich System's fifteenth task, Evan once again embraced the idyllic lifestyle of a indolent soul, his days consisting of little more than eating and sleeping.Of course, he neglected none of his professional obligations -Such as the post-production editing for "National Talent Show," the directorial guidance and post-production work on "Game of the Empire," monitoring the after-sales serv
"After all, you currently reside within my corporeal vessel. Were I to perish, it would serve you no benefit. You would be compelled to seek a new Host, a precarious endeavor fraught with risks. It is far more prudent to secure my wellbeing from the outset!""Tell me, have I deduced accurately?"The Super Rich System seemed stunned into silence by Evan's words, remaining pensive for an extended moment before replying, "Host, my selection of you was indeed impeccable. Well done, I am proud of you!"Evan rose languidly from the sofa, ascending the stairs. "Very well, let us leave it at that. I should commence efforts towards my task. Moreover, let me add - I feel no pride for you!"The Super Rich System fell silent once more.Regarding the Super Rich System's sixteenth task, Evan had a plan of his own. A simple plan - to captivate a global audience of one billion with his first ability in the shortest time possible.This ability? Utilizing the Entertainment Godfather Gloves to compose l
The songwriters - Atlas Rivers, Luna Evergreen, Phoenix Knight, and their ilk - responded with even greater indignation upon hearing Evan's words."Well! Your defiant arrogance convinces me you are no master musician. True artists like ourselves are humble, keeping our heads bowed low!""Mark my words - if you can complete both lyrics and melody within three hours, I shall address you as 'Father' and gift you the highest SSSVIP offering!""Oh? 'Oblige to the bitter end,' you say? How so? Shall I report you to Tiktoc's authorities now? That audacious room title and claimed live compositions reek of falsehood!"Evan sighed, his enthusiasm waning. "Enough, no need to quarrel with children. The truth shall soon reveal itself!"Having committed to SolsticeMelody's request, he turned his full attention to crafting a resonant melody to aid their romantic pursuit.Yet, as he prepared to begin, SolsticeMelody gifted an SSSVIP offering with a message: "Let us cease these squabbles and allow the
Composers Atlas Rivers, Luna Evergreen, Phoenix Knight, and others gnashed their teeth, their faces ashen. They had nearly bulged their eyes out in disbelief that this streamer had genuinely composed a song in just three minutes!Moreover, the song created in those three minutes was so captivating!More crucially, it wasn't a freestyle composition, but one tailored to specific emotions!It's worth noting that creating a song based on specific emotions is far more challenging than freestyle composition. In all of Elysia, it would be extremely rare to find someone capable of accomplishing such a feat in just three minutes!"I don't believe it. This song must have been prepared beforehand. No one can create a song in just a few minutes!""Agreed, I don't believe it either. Even the most renowned musical prodigy in history, Franz Schubert, wasn't this talented. I refuse to accept it. Either this song was pre-composed, or this 'SolsticeMelody' is a plant!""Exactly, I don't believe it eith
They had been convinced that the song Evan had just created was prepared in advance!But even if they believed the song was pre-composed, it was still too brilliant. This streamer called Melody Smith was not to be underestimated!There was no guarantee they could win this bet!This was the real reason behind these streamers' sour expressions!"What's the matter? Weren't you all quite arrogant earlier? Why so quiet now?"Seeing that those streamers hadn't sent any comments, Evan chuckled and said, "Weren't you just clamoring for me to take the bet? Why are you so reluctant to speak now? Could it be..."His tone suddenly turned icy, sharp as a knife to the bone!"Could it be that you've been assuming the song I just created was prepared in advance, so you thought I wouldn't dare to accept the challenge? Now that I've accepted, you find yourselves in an awkward position because none of you so-called streamers can produce a song of such high quality!"His words hit the mark, striking dire
