"You want money?! Three hundred thousand?! Lin Jicheng, I think you're just a jinx who fakes illness to scam money! Hurry up and take out your summer job wages to buy your brother a computer!"
In the quiet hospital ward, a middle-aged woman, ignoring the disapproving looks from the other patients, yelled rudely at a girl lying on the bed. The girl was incredibly weak and pale, yet she still spoke firmly:
"I just want to get back my parents' inheritance to pay for my medical treatment—"
"Pah! You're dreaming! Those all belong to your brother Yaozong! You good-for-nothing, don't you dare talk nonsense! Your parents died long ago, and I, as your aunt, have raised you for so many years; I've already done more than enough!"
The middle-aged woman jumped up as if she'd been burned and roared! Her booming voice and arrogant demeanor drew the ire of many people around the ward, who immediately began whispering among themselves:
"Not only will they refuse to pay for the child's medical treatment, but they're also asking patients for money to buy a computer for their own son! This is textbook example of male chauvinism!"
"That's... utterly heartless!! Quickly call security to remove this troublemaker! Don't disturb the other patients in the ward!"
Amidst the disdainful gazes of those around her, the middle-aged woman instantly flew into a rage!
However, when she caught a glimpse of the disgusted looks from those around her and the approaching hospital security guards out of the corner of her eye, a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes, and she quickly and viciously kicked the suitcase beside her feet.
"Now that you've packed your things, don't ever come back to my house again! You're not welcome there, so get out!"
The middle-aged woman angrily uttered these words and, ignoring the whispers and pointing fingers around her, hurriedly left the ward before security arrived. Behind her, the girl named Lin Jicheng collapsed onto the hospital bed, a look of despair on her face as she reflected on her past eighteen years of life.
Since her parents passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, Lin Jicheng's uncle and aunt have moved into her home with their son under the guise of "taking care" of Lin Jicheng, and seized all the inheritance left by her parents!
After years of hard study, Lin Jicheng finally got into university, but unexpectedly, he was diagnosed with a rare disease during the summer vacation right after the college entrance examination, and he needed to spend a lot of money on treatment!
Just then, her uncle and aunt's family revealed their cold-hearted true colors. Not only did they refuse to spend a single penny on Lin Jicheng's treatment, but they also blatantly kicked her out of their home!
Lin Jicheng collapsed helplessly onto the hospital bed, the torment of her illness making her desires all the more vivid—
Money! I want lots and lots of money to cure my illness! I also want to get back my parents' inheritance and take revenge on my heartless uncle and his family!
But... how could a helpless orphan like herself possibly do that...?
[Ding! Potential host detected! This host has an extremely strong desire to spend money! The Omnipotent Tycoon System has been bound to the host!]
A sudden, childlike voice rang in Lin Jicheng's mind, instantly stunning her—
From Lin Jicheng's perspective, a floating ball of light appeared directly in front of him, emanating from it in a soft, cute loli voice. However, the people around him were completely unaware of it, as if only he could see it!
Could this be the legendary mysterious cheat system?
Lin Jicheng hesitated for a moment, but the voice in her mind seemed to possess an alluring magic—
[The Omnipotent Tycoon System: Unlimited Funds, Super Powerful Items! The host only needs to continuously complete system tasks to maintain the Tycoon System. Now, a beginner's task is issued to the host—]
Spend the initial investment of 10,000 yuan in your account. The task is time-limited, one hour!
"Ding! 10,000 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account—"
The system's voice had barely faded when a notification sound rang from the phone beside him. Startled, Lin Jicheng picked up the phone and stared in disbelief at the five-figure balance that had suddenly appeared in his account—
Wait a minute! This super-rich system is for real! It's actually giving itself money!
[Mission countdown: 59 minutes and 50 seconds]
Lin Jicheng took a deep breath, glanced at the extra balance in his account, then at the exorbitant hospital bill beside him, and quickly made up his mind—
Regardless of what kind of system it is, I'm at my wit's end and have to take a gamble!
Selecting hospital examination fees, paying the fees, and having the money deducted—as the 10,000 yuan balance was smoothly deducted from the account—a familiar voice rang in Lin Jicheng's mind again, carrying a hint of joy.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the beginner's mission!]
Please accept the rewards for the beginner's quest.
New player quests will reward 10 extra points and 1 "Cure-All Pill".
[Please keep up the good work, host! Keep spending money!!]
In the next instant, a pure white candy appeared out of thin air in Lin Jicheng's hand!
"It's actually... real! Does this system really exist? It can even conjure things out of thin air!"
Lin Jicheng's eyes widened!
This so-called "elixir" was exactly the same as the common milk candy on the market. Lin Jicheng swallowed it casually, and the moment the sweet milky taste melted in his mouth, a refreshing feeling enveloped his whole body!
Both the pain from the illness and the dizziness in his brain vanished without a trace in that instant! Lin Jicheng was in high spirits and full of energy, as if all the ailments had been expelled from his body!
Deeply shocked, Lin Jicheng immediately jumped up from his hospital bed!
...
Two hours later, still somewhat skeptical, Lin Jicheng reappeared in the consultation room and heard the doctor's exaggerated exclamation—
"This can't be right! All the symptoms you had have disappeared! How is that possible...?"
