System Activation: Becoming a Super Rich

Chapter 7: Slapping with Money

Upon catching a glimpse of Justin's eyes, the woman felt as if she had plunged into an icy abyss. A chill emanated from the depths of her bones, causing her hair to stand on end.

"What do you want? If you keep this up, I won't hold back! I'll call for help!"

"What do I want? You should know better. Weren't you asking for the rent? Fine, I'll give it to you now, but be prepared to catch it."

"Really?"

As soon as Justin mentioned paying her, the woman's expression changed instantly.

"How wonderful it would've been if you had done this sooner. At least you know when to yield. Where's the money? Hurry up and bring it out. Let me tell you, you scared me half to death just now, so the rent is no longer the same. You need to compensate me for emotional distress and the loss of my youth. Here's the deal, not too much or too little, just give me $10,000."

"$10,000? This woman has really grown increasingly greedy. Justin is just a poor lad; how could he possibly come up with that much money? I'm afraid he's really in for it this time."

Even the onlookers were startled by the sum. In this slum, $10,000 is enough to support a family for half a year. And yet, this woman had the audacity to demand such an amount, her greed knowing no bounds.

For a moment, they felt a twinge of sympathy for Justin's predicament, but his ensuing reaction astonished them even more.

Justin pulled out a thick wad of green bills from his person, seemingly amounting to $10,000.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, yes, give it to me!"

The woman's eyes were glued to the money in Justin's hand, her gaze as rapacious as a common shrew. Her greed was truly nauseating.

"Smack!"

The woman eagerly reached out for the money, but before her hand could even touch the bills, Justin slapped them against her face with a sound akin to that of a slap.

"You bastard, you're playing me!"

The woman felt the stinging pain on her face as she received a resounding slap.

While the physical pain was bearable, it was the humiliation that burned her up inside. She was used to being the one who lorded over others, but today, she had been slapped in public, and her fury knew no bounds.

"How can you blame me? I warned you to catch the money earlier, but you failed to do so, and it flew right into your face. You can only blame your own misfortune.

Besides, what can you do even if I did slap you? Don't think that by making some cash from these shabby houses, you can do as you please. Your money means nothing to me. I'll hit you with money, and what can you do about it? If you dare, hit me back with money too.

A dragon will always be a dragon, and a worm will always be a worm. Don't underestimate others and don't overestimate yourself. From today onward, you will forever live in my shadow."

Justin took out wad after wad of money and relentlessly smacked them onto the woman's face, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.

By the time all the money had been thrown, the woman's face was swollen and disfigured.

"Using money to slap someone? When did this kid become so rich?" The neighbors couldn't contain their surprise.

What thrilled them even more was seeing the money Justin had thrown scatter in all directions. The quick-witted ones immediately dashed over to pick it up.

"There's money to grab! Everyone, come and get it!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd snapped out of their daze, scrambling for the cash.

"Don't take it, that's my money! Ouch, why are you stepping on me?"

In the chaos of the money-grab, Victoria, who had fallen to the ground, became the unfortunate target of everyone's trampling, her screams filling the air.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing your task of slapping someone with money. You are awarded a Newbie Task Gift Package."

A new task was then assigned: Within three days, Master must purchase a luxurious villa as a residence. Success will be rewarded with a mysterious gift package, while failure will result in the withdrawal of the first round's reward.

Following this, Justin received another notification, this time informing him that his account had been credited with an additional ten million dollars.

"Amazing! I've heard that rich people like to slap others with money, but I never imagined it would feel this good. And I got a ten million dollar reward for using just one hundred thousand dollars to slap someone. This task was really worth it. If there are more tasks like this in the future, make sure to give me more."

"Don't worry, Master. As long as you complete the tasks on time, the rewards will be yours. Focus on the next task: purchasing a luxury villa within three days. This will be a challenge for you, but I believe you can do it. Just remember, failure means punishment."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot. I'd better go spend some money quickly."

Leaving the slum behind, Justin hailed a taxi to the most luxurious hotel in Nova City. He booked the presidential suite, took a relaxing bath, and discarded his filthy clothes, replacing them with a new set worth over 200,000 dollars.

Justin was all set and ready to enjoy a good night's sleep, but suddenly, the system issued a reminder.

"Reminder: Master has an unused mysterious gift package. We recommend using it immediately, as it will disappear after today."

Hearing this, Justin, who had been drifting off to sleep, snapped back to attention. He quickly used the mysterious gift package.

"Congratulations, Master! You've successfully used the mysterious gift package and received one lottery draw and 200 Super Rich Points."

As Master now had one lottery draw opportunity, the system activated the lottery interface. Master was allowed three draws per week, with prizes ranging from various items to weapons. After the three free draws were used up, each additional draw would consume 100 Super Rich Points, with each subsequent draw doubling the cost.
