"Oh god! It's reached the seventh floor. How pitiful!""What can be done? With such big flames, who dares to go up? Poor child, so young too. Consumed by fire, how tragic."As the crowds whispered anxiously, no one dared attempt a rescue. Justin could no longer sit still. The fire was about to consume the seventh floor. If no one acted now, the child would be doomed!"System, any way to give me fire immunity?"He had considered his Steel Body should be fire-resistant, but the smoke would still be a problem, and he couldn't protect anyone else with it."There is a way, but needs points to purchase. 10,000 points for an advanced barrier shield, impervious to blades and fire. But Master's points are insufficient currently, loans available at 100 points interest daily.""Stop blabbing, nevermind the interest. It's life or death! Hurry up!"Justin couldn't care about points now. That was trivial compared to a child's life. If the kid died when he could have saved him but was stingy with po
The firefighters rushed up to support Justin - the heroic rescuer deserved everyone's reverence.But Justin declined their good intentions, running straight to the woman and panting as he returned her infant.Oddly though, the moment the baby left his arms, it began wailing again. People assumed it was just frightened and thought nothing of it.Justin deliberately acted exhausted, plopping down on the curb to catch his breath dramatically.Some medics came over to bandage his cut and brought mineral water, which Justin accepted with a smile, feeling it sweeter than nectar. Now he understood just how perilous the firefighters' job was. Without his protective barrier, he may not have made it out either. Yet they rushed into such danger with only their flesh and blood. Truly admirable people!Soon a policeman came over with a smile, sitting beside Justin."Not bad lad, charging through such flames to safely rescue the child. You have my utmost respect, few in my life earn that. You're a
In high spirits, Justin brought Ava back to his hotel suite. After a nice shower came...unspeakable matters. When they finally left the hotel in the morning, Ava walked with a slight awkward limp while glaring resentfully at a smug Justin floating on air."Haha, amazing! I'm finally a real man with a wife! Feels so good!"He wondered when he might get a taste of the icy beauty Mia - that would be a whole different experience for sure!Returning home, Justin saw Ava's mother watering flowers in the yard. About to greet her daughter, she noticed Ava's odd gait and immediately realized what had transpired, being experienced. But she had no complaints at all, rather was even happier. She would get to hold her grandchild soon, with a cute partner to accompany her so she'd never be lonely again!"Oh, you lovebirds are back! I better cook up some soups, you'll need nourishing after your first time. Must recuperate properly!" She smiled and left the flustered couple in the wind."It's all you
They lit up and took a satisfied puff, eyes closed as they exhaled perfect smoke rings, appearing refined and elegant like sages. What elegance!"Wow, incredible taste, smoothest cigarette I've had in my life!""Haha, since you elders like them, have the rest too." Justin handed over the remaining cigarettes."Now now, that won't do. Justin's cigarettes must be expensive, you shouldn't have given them all to us. Keep some for your dad and uncle, they've had it rough lately." Hearing this, Justin grew alert and asked what had happened at home recently. After the elder shared everything known, Justin could no longer sit still and rushed back home in a few quick strides, the two girls hurrying after him.But the house was empty when he entered, the table set with cold, uneaten food. It seemed they had prepared a meal but left abruptly before eating.Justin didn't wait, immediately driving out to search for his family. After combing the entire village unsuccessfully, he went into town.T
Kimberly nodded, having been scared out of her wits this time, almost losing her son for good. Rather than living in dread like this, it'd be better finding a safer job environment away from sinister schemes.But Jacob saw more clearly. Such slimeballs existed everywhere. Changing companies wouldn't eliminate that risk. And he didn't wish his son's hard work to be for naught. So he directly rejected the idea."No, you're going back to work, can't resign.""Jacob Wilson, have you lost it? After everything our son went through, you still won't let him quit? Are you trying to end the Wilson line?" Kimberly yelled."Quiet! How can you say that with my brother and Justin here? Does that sound proper?" Jacob scolded his wife. Realizing her blunder, Kimberly quickly apologized. "Sorry, I spoke rashly from anxiety earlier. Please don't take it to heart!"Of course, Shane's family wouldn't make an issue of it."Sis, what nonsense! We're one family. It's no big deal, eh? Wife, Raymond just got
So the group returned to Justin's home, settling down after tidying up. Justin himself slept on the living room couch.With nothing to do, he checked his System and nearly jumped in shock. His free lottery chances had accumulated to over 50 without him realizing from being too busy! It was time to use them up tonight.No time like the present!First lottery: Thank you for participating.Second lottery: Thank you for participating.Third lottery: Thank you for participating...."Damn you, scummy System! Are you messing with me? Don't tell me you forgot to set lottery rewards! Listen, keep this up and I'll have unfinished business with you! How dare you! Got an explanation?""Trying to scare me? It's your own lousy luck, sucker! Blaming me instead, how shameless! But fine, I'll give you a cheat out of pity for your misery.""Congratulations on obtaining Lucky buff. From now on, Master has 1% increased chance of winning lotteries. Permanent effect duration." Justin had been happy getti
He also completed the minor stock prediction skill set along with various pills. And best of all was the Rolls-Royce Phantom, previously bought with money. Though not his own cash, it still left some reluctance to spend. But now this was obtained free! One-time freebies felt great, but long-term was true bliss. Getting priceless things for free was the best!Though it needed 7 fragments and he had gotten just 2 after a night's drawings, clearly the rarer the item, the lower the chance.When the lottery ended, it was already dawn, but Justin was too excited to sleep. He immediately tried out a Total Makeover Pill to test if the System medicine worked as advertised.It tasted quite good, like strawberries. But afterwards...not so much.Soon his stomach started gurgling loudly. His bowels churned and Justin swiftly dashed to the bathroom for an explosive diarrhea session before finally emerging, much relieved.As he walked out, his dad also came out of the bedroom. But before Justin coul
If asked, he had an excuse prepared - a friend had developed an experimental new medicine for him to trial at home. Still untested clinically, it had to be kept confidential.Yes, that should work. Otherwise who knew how many would come begging for the pills!The two girls were too excited to sleep that night after taking the pills, finding their skin and looks exceptionally improved. Their skin was like milk, smooth and tender, fair with a rosy glow.Their features became more refined, figures more proportional - fuller busts and slimmer waists. Even Mia's fine lines from overtime work had vanished.Early next morning, Justin immediately contacted construction teams to start repairs, which had to begin right away. Luckily no one was harmed, already extremely fortunate.His real estate company Sunrise Corporation easily arranged it with one call.An hour later, workers arrived, causing quite a stir in the village. Seeing the crowd of strangers, villagers assumed something big had happ
