Taylor rushed out of the Dragon Gate Shop, heading for Mount Sinai Hospital. Kerry was the second person he was going to treat Today.
In front of the administration desk, after waiting for an hour, Taylor was finally relieved when Kerry accepted the lunch invitation.
"I only have an hour."
"I'll pick a nearby restaurant, don't worry!"
Taylor and Kerry had lunch at a European restaurant just a few blocks away from Mount Sinai Hospital. Besides saving time, the food was delicious.
Taylor held his breath as He paid at the cash register. "2,500 dollars for this quality meal! Next time you visit, I'll show you something even more special." The cashier smiled kindly as Heswiped Taylor's ATM card.
Taylor kept smiling even though his heart was choked up. He didn't want to look unprofessional with a moping face during the transaction. Always smiling politely and gracefully, Taylor seemed like a kind-hearted person.
"You are a very generous and charitable, young man," Kerry said as she hugged Taylor gratefully, making Taylor blush. He felt embarrassed by Kerry's praise. Finally, Taylor gave up his money for the people who had been kind to her.
When Taylor tried to communicate with the system, he received a short reply. "Two of the five people on the list are fulfilled. Three challenges left!"
It was 5 pm, and Taylor needed clarification about who He was going to eat with.
"Harvey! Why did I forget him?"
Taylor ran to Asian Hawks Bar and met Harvey. Harvey was surprised when Taylor invited him to dinner.
"Why so much haste? Can't you hold off for the next day or two? Besides... you haven't paid your debts yet, have you? How can you have fun while you're in debt..."
"Where's your card machine."
"What do you mean? Please deduct 10,000 dollars from that card as payment for my debt. If the balance is there and goes into your account, will you accept the dinner invitation with me?"
Harvey sneered. In his opinion, Taylor was the poorest, most stingy kid he had ever known. Coldly, Harvey swiped the ATM card. Success!
Harvey was shocked and embarrassed. Taylor had savings.
Since Harvey had underestimated him and it was still too early for dinner, they sat down to relax and drink coffee at the famous outlet "Star Luck." This time, Taylor ordered drinks and snacks for a fee.
This time, Taylor ordered drinks and snacks for less than 100 dollars.
It was getting dark, and the deadline for the Quest challenge would expire at 24:00. Taylor had yet to manage to ask anyone he knew to dinner. With a full stomach, He wandered around the park, looking for someone to have dinner with.
As the clock struck 20:00 and the Quest deadline approached, Taylor randomly selected a moody-looking young girl who was busy with her cell phone, making a video call. The girl was dressed up in Gothic style.
As Taylor approached, he heard the girl crying. Taylor offered to have dinner with her.
"Go away! Don't touch me."
"Hey, take it easy. I just want to invite you to eat, okay?"
Casually, Taylor explained that he had just won the lottery and invited the girl to dinner. His face took on a look of disbelief, and the girl asked, "Does anyone still play the lottery these days? You look like an old-fashioned young man." she noticed that Taylor looked like a student who frequented the university library. The girl then accepted Taylor's invitation after her dinner appointment with her girlfriend was canceled.
"It just so happens that my dinner appointment was canceled by my boyfriend. I think your offer is quite interesting!"
They agreed to have dinner at a fancy Thai Restaurant after a girl named Lily revealed that she was a lesbian. "Don't expect much, I just like eating with girls!" Taylor just laughed, and they sat down to eat and talk.
Just as they were about to order, a voice came from the opposite table, "Look, it's Taylor, right? he dropped out of school because of money problems. Now, he can eat at this fancy Thai restaurant. Is it possible that he tricked that girl and used him for a free meal?"
Taylor turned and saw two people at a large table overlooking the artificial pond. It was Astrid, one of the beautiful girls in the class, with her boyfriend Simon. Astrid was said to come from an ordinary family, but he became arrogant after dating Simon.
"I'm sure at most they just ordered a few small dishes, then took photos and posted them on I*******m," Simon said in a voice made to sound authoritative.
"Hey, do you know them?" Lily started to get angry.
"Yes, they were classmates at university. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue my studies because of the fees."
Taylor looked at Astrid and Simon with concern, and Lily asked again, "You want me to flirt with those two? I could pretend to be pregnant with the boy. I'm sure it would make for some great domestic drama!"
Taylor held Lily's hand and said, "Leave it alone!"
"Alright!"
The two were enjoying their delicious dinner when the dishes came.
Seeing that the dishes on Taylor and Lily's table were so diverse and luxurious, Astrid called the waiter. With a loud voice and arrogant tone, Astrid ordered a dish similar to the one Taylor and Lily had ordered, but with double the portion.
"Honey... isn't this too much? It's just the two of us. And again..." Simon tried to explain, but Astrid wouldn't listen.
"I don't want to look poor in the eyes of Taylor who used to be poor. And besides, ordering this expensive meal is worth it." Astrid drew herself closer to Simon and tried to persuade him more intimately. Finally, Simon relented and said a weak, "Okay!"
Taylor and Lily had left the Thai Restaurant long ago, while Simon and Astrid were still standing in front of the cash register in a cold sweat. Simon felt that the dish Taylor had ordered for 5,000 dollars was expensive because all the ingredients were specially imported from Southeast Asia.
"Didn't you miscalculate?" said Simon weakly. Their food bill had reached 10,000 dollars, and his parents blocked Simon's credit card because he had squandered too much money on Astrid's whims.
"Can't you just accept this watch, and I'll come back with cash to pay for it?"
Simon blushed. He was so embarrassed. However, the female cashier replied coldly, "It's just a regular watch. It's worth far less than 10,000 dollars! Pay now or I'll call the police!"
In great confusion and embarrassment, a young man's voice suddenly rang out, "Let me pay for both of them. Deduct the bill from this ATM card!"
The female cashier returned a friendly smile. She greeted, "Ah... Mr. Taylor, glad you could help."
Simon and Astrid, feeling very embarrassed, didn't dare look at Taylor or say a word of thanks. The female cashier gave them a disgusted look and grumbled, "Ungrateful humans!"
Amidst the glittering street lights of Metropolitan Accomont, Taylor smiled. At that moment, he held the Queen's Eye tattoo, and in his mind came the voice,
[Today's Quest is complete. Please open the bag and see your reward!]

The sky was clear that night without a black cloud hanging over the horizon. Taylor whistled happily, feeling proud that he had successfully overcome all his challenges. "What will the system give me this time?" he muttered, walking down the street steadily.Taylor could have opened the screen on the way to see the reward the system gave her, but he preferred to wait until he got home. "I want to enjoy this gift in peace," he thought with a satisfied smile.At 11 pm, Taylor arrived home. As planned, he went straight to the bathroom, letting the warm water envelop his body despite the chill in the air. "This thick blanket will make me forget that it's actually cold!" he said with a smile.After his shower, Taylor couldn't wait to experience the system's gift. "System, please open!" he ordered.The screen lifted, and Taylor saw words congratulating the system."[Please open the inbox, and you will be surprised]," the message read.His heart skipped a beat as Taylor ordered, "Open the ma
Waiting is the most boring thing ever. Taylor paced the street in front of his girlfriend Grace's house restlessly. Phone calls went unanswered, and the deadline the system had given him was fast approaching.Indeed, Taylor's relationship with his girlfriend was not good. They were only in touch through phone messages. Grace even refused to pick up his calls if Taylor made a phone call. At best, he would reply with a short message."I'm busy! Please don't bother me for a while!"But tonight was important for Taylor. Break up with Grace, gain power from the Nine Heavenly Path Technique's AI intelligence, or continue dating in uncertainty. Meanwhile, Taylor's dreams are big. Getting revenge and defeating McGill Industries was a big dream for her.A car with a thumping exhaust could be heard as the Mazda MX-5 Miata pulled up in front of Grace's house. The squeal of brakes could be heard, piquing Taylor's curiosity."Tomorrow we'll do it all over again, baby. What you just did to me, it w
Beep! Taylor opened his eyes as the device beeped incessantly.The sun was overhead at midday. But despite the intense sun, Taylor did not feel hot. The area was kept cool by a few trees and vegetation."Where am I?"Taylor scowled, remembering what had just transpired. The picture of his girlfriend Grace's face—now an ex-boyfriend of Brandon's—and the excruciating fallout from Brandon's abuse."Did they intend to kill me and throw me off this cliff?" Taylor's heart raced at the idea. His astute mind deduced right away that he had been purposefully left in this isolated location.[The mission is accomplished! Kindly check the mailbox on your system!]Taylor was taken aback. The fact that the system screen was open escaped his notice. His thoughts were solely on what had happened the previous evening."A prize? I take this to signify that I completed the system challenge successfully? Taylor chuckled to herself. It was time to check the email system.TING!Taylor's eyes grew wide as th

Rich foreigners are the buyers and sellers of rare and antique goods in this area.Pamila Wu, a 25-year-old female, is quite attractive. She has spent the last two years as an employee of Oldies and Goldies. Pamila has always desired a promotion, but in order to get one, she must agree to work in customer service at Oldies & Goldies Accomont. Despite her lack of beauty, she has a well-kept figure. tall and slender. Several Oldies and Goldies branches had elevated her peers. Pamila continued to work in customer service, though.Taylor entered the building's futuristic construction and was greeted by the fresh scent of contemporary leather.Pamila stops Taylor at the customer service counter because she thinks her appearance to be disturbing. After going two days without taking a shower and sporting a market hoodie, Taylor's body od
Naturally, Pamila Wu quickly gained the audience's affection. These individuals were now using advice-filled, even offensive, language to criticize Taylor."You have chosen the path of evil in order to succeed, yet you are still the same. Before it's too late, stop!" The elderly man with the stick gave advice."Oh, how ignominious. He looks like a punk, and he says he can make medications using old recipes? Whoever he is, I fear the product he's giving is garbage."Taylor was the one who had to keep quiet. "Is it really that difficult to get started? Why is no one believing me?" Taylor voiced his displeasure.Taylor found it difficult to maintain faith in the Alchemist's riches system. However, Taylor never gave up hope because he kept in mind his $200,000 lottery win and the $1 million prize he would receive if he sold his first pill.Regretfully, he witnessed Grace's shadow make its way into the Oldies and Goldies hall. She had Brandon's hand in hers. Taylor averted his gaze to evad
The Oldies and Goldies Building heliport was the destination of the helicopter-arrived 911 dispatcher. Mr. Smith had a red face. His paleness had subsided since his initial faint.Mr. Smith was responded to right away by two nurses and an emergency physician. The male doctor said, following a quick analysis to determine the diagnosis. "Is there any particular medical treatment, or an expert who gave Mr. Smith first aid earlier?" His eyes were focused on the attractive girl dressed in masquerade, whom he assumed to be a member of the Oldies and Goldies. It was Mr. Smith's lone daughter, Theresia Smith.With hesitation, Theresia gestured to Taylor, who was still lounging in the wall corner. "Him!"The medic turned to face Taylor and opened his mouth to say something, but Theresia interrupted. He's neither a medic nor a doctor, though. He is dispensing his homemade medications, which he claims function like those made by god." Theresia gave a smirk. How is it possible that god pills, the
Taylor's cell phone rang at first. He clicked on the Accomont Central Bank text message."Sender: Oldies and Goldies; credit amount: 200,000 dollars. For a safe transaction, dial 10550."Taylor grinned. He opened the system knowing that this was a prize from the mission within the system. Taylor had no trouble seeing the screen because to the VVIP location on the balcony."[A one million dollar incentive for completing the objective is available. Will it remain in the bag or be moved to your account?"]Taylor required an explanation. For him, a million dollars was a big amount. "What should I buy with such a large amount?"The question "[Will the 1 million be transferred or kept in the bag?]" kept coming up in the system.Taylor made a snap decision in the end. "Transfer it to the account!"Taylor's old cell phone called shortly after that. "TING!"When Taylor saw the text message, his smile got even larger."Credit up to $200,000. For a safe transaction, dial 10550."When Taylor open
With a weak voice, Brandon pleaded with Taylor not to contact the police. His mourning resembled that of an elderly woman at a wake.Grace appeared at ease as Brandon assumed responsibility for the beggarly duties. "I'm relieved that this human garbage is unaware that Brandon and Grace exist! Later, I'll devise a new strategy to take him out." Grace's satisfied smile revealed a gleam in her eyes, which Taylor noticed.But Taylor was no less crafty. Upon noticing the disdainful expression in Grace's eyes, Taylor abruptly called the police."Hello Police Officer!""Yes, from where?""Sun Flower Street is just three blocks away from the intersection; please come by. It appears that one bandit did not succeed in robbing. Simply show them around the city!"As Brandon sobbed uncontrollably, Grace started to lose her mind.Grace boldly attempted to take the phone out of Taylor's hand in spite of the discomfort."Plak - plak - plak!"With her head whirling, Taylor gave a slap across Grace's f
