The Quintillionaire's spend-thrift system

A stroke of good luck

Anthony quickly found a secluded corner so that he could comfortably understand what the system was yapping about.

“Wait, I thought that after spending the money, the task function will be activated, then I will be sent on missions in order to be eligible for more rewards?” Anthony asked.

“Yes. However, you unknowingly accomplished your first mission while spending your welcome bonus. The tasks are divided into four sections: Easy, medium, hard, and life-threatening. However, you're not eligible for life-threatening missions until you reach level 5. The mission you just accomplished is under the hard category. You were meant to pay the girl's bills, if you had chosen the hard category. You would have been forced to find a way to raise money for her, but you unknowingly paid the bills with your bonus, killing two birds with one stone. Each task has complementary rewards. And the rewards increase with the level of difficulty of the task chosen,” the system explained, making Anthony smile.

He was indeed fortunate.

Where would he have found one million to pay for the girl's bills after spending the entire welcome bonus?

He unexpectedly reaped the fisherman's benefit through the system's loophole.

“You have been rewarded ten billion dollars and ten contribution points. You are also eligible for two lottery draws. You can use the lottery draws to gain skills or more wealth, in rare cases you might be gifted precious treasures. Should I credit the money to your account?” The voice asked again.

“No! It's too much. Just credit a hundred million first. However, I'm really curious about the lottery draws. Can I use the two lottery draws now?” He asked.

“Okay! A hundred million dollars have been credited to your account!” The voice announced, the same time as Anthony's phone vibrated, notifying him of the credit alert.

The monitor suddenly disappeared, causing Anthony's heart to skip a beat.

However, before he could raise alarm, he heard a buzzing sound and a golden wheel appeared before him.

“Spin the wheel for your lucky draws!”

Anthony quickly obeyed.

“Congratulations master, you have been awarded the beginner's extreme kung-fu manual"

“Congratulations master, you have been awarded the golden needle life-saving technique”

“Congratulations master! You have been awarded 36% of Silkwave corporation shares!”

“Congratulations master, you have been awarded the 'curse your enemy' bracelet!”

The machine kept announcing, making Anthony's heart shake in excitement.

He might not know the significance of the other three rewards, but he damn well knows what Silkwave corporation shares signifies. Silkwave was the biggest corporation in Seattle, owning 30% shares as their second-largest shareholder, which simply means that he's set for life.

The machine scoffed, bringing Anthony out of his reverie.

“That's actually the lowest reward you gained. The first draw gave you two great rewards. If you have money without strength and power to back it up, people can easily bully and mistreat you. They might even threaten you to extort money from you. But if you are strong, powerful, wealthy, and intelligent, no one will dare look down at you. That's why physical strength and martial arts skills are required to be exceptional. Besides, how will you avert the disaster if you're not strong enough? The golden needle technique allows you to save and extend people's life using acupuncture. It's also called the godly doctor technique. As for the 'curse your enemies' bracelet, you can use it to send misfortunes to attack your enemies,” the system informed.

Anthony was awed by the lecture.

How can this system be so awesome?

A painful thought immediately occurred to Anthony, making him sad.

“If only I had met this system a few days earlier, my mother would still be alive,” he mused sadly.

“Master, you don't have to worry, everything happens for a reason. You will be going on frightening missions in the future, do you think she would have allowed you? I apologize for not finding you earlier, just enjoy the moment. If it helps, it might interest you to know that your mother would have died anyway. She has been yearning to join your father, but she kept waiting till you grew up. Allow her to be with her true love in the spirit realm, okay?” The system consoled, uplifting Anthony's spirit.

Indeed, his mother has always missed his father. Letting her go was the best option.

"However, I still want to punish that doctor and his hospital viciously," Anthony said with determination.

“Of course, it will all happen in good time. He won't escape punishment. But for now, just focus on the tasks before you. Do you want to start your Kung-fu studies immediately? Or do you want to look for a more comfortable location since it requires you to go into a trance?” The system asked.

But before Anthony could answer, he saw the girl rushing towards him.

“Save it for later!” He quickly said.

“Benefactor, where have you been? I have been searching the whole hospital for you,” the girl said, panting.

“Oh, I just decided to stay here for a while. Have you settled everything?” Anthony asked with a kind smile.

“Yes sir. Thank you, sir,” she said gratefully.

“Stop calling me sir. It makes me feel awkward. I'm only 21. How old are you?” He asked.

“I'm eighteen years old, sir,” she quickly said.

Anthony nodded absentmindedly and offered her two shopping bags.

“These are clothes and groceries that I bought for you and your mother, have them.” Anthony said calmly.

She began to cry while shaking her head.

“No sir, you have done a lot for me. I'm still thinking of how to repay you. If it's to serve you all my life, I'm willing to do that. I will do anything to pay you back. You don't know how much that money meant to me. Please I must repay you sir; otherwise I will never have peace of mind,” she whispered, sniffing.

“It's alright, you don't have to repay me, it's nothing. I'm actually indebted to you,” Anthony reassured.

The girl chuckled sarcastically.

“You don't have to say that to make me feel better. How can my benefactor be indebted to me?” She asked, smiling sadly.

“Hmph." The system harrumphed, making Anthony's heart skip a beat.

He nearly exposed information about the system to this girl.

Surely, the system won't reject him, right?
