Li Chan looked back…
But… there was no one there.
He stood still for a while, breathing heavily. Then he wiped the blood from
his lips and thought quietly.
"I thought... maybe I hit my head. That's why I'm seeing
illusions..."
He closed his eyes… took a deep breath…
And then started moving forward, with one thought echoing in his mind:
"Such systems only exist in stories… not in real life."
But as soon as he opened his eyes…
A cold shiver ran down his spine.
Goosebumps rose.
He opened his eyes wide and said in a trembling voice:
"Is... is this system… telling the truth!?"
In front of him stood a girl…
Somewhere between 18 and 20 years old, long black hair, sharp features, a
perfect 0-figure… A chest so noticeable that no one could look at her without
stopping… A living fantasy for any man.
Li kept staring at her… and then thought:
"What is this… such a perfect coincidence!?"
Just then, another System Window popped up:
Ding Ding! Host has identified his first target.
Target Details: Miss Dyana Yun – Daughter of Yun Hotel.
Yun Hotel: A 3-star hotel in Japan with an annual income of over 100 million
yen.
Li's throat dried up… sweat started dripping down his face.
He whispered:
"100... 100 million yen!?"
Then another window popped up:
System: Note: Every target has a trust bounty.
Dyana Yun's total trust bounty is 100 million yen.
The host will be paid according to the trust gained.
Dyana Yun's current trust in you is 0%.
For example, if the target's trust level increases by 1%, the host will
receive 1 million yen.
A glint of greed flashed in Li's eyes... but then he thought:
"And if the trust decreases… then what?"
As if the system had heard his thoughts, another warning screen appeared:
Warning: If the target's trust level goes negative, an equal amount will be
deducted from your account.
That means if trust = -5%, then 5 million yen will be deducted from your
account.
Li Chan fell deep in thought...
"Is this system… real? Or just a psychological trap?"
He put his hand in his pocket... took out his credit card.
He stared at it for a while…
"I only have 20k yen left… my entire month's expenses… but…"
His ex-girlfriend's words echoed in his mind:
"You're poor. And poor people are just trash."
A fire lit up in his eyes… He clenched his fist tightly…
And quietly said:
"One last time… let's see what fate's system writes."
On the other side...
Dyana was walking toward a bag shop.
Just then, a boy named Huwa arrived with some of his friends.
He said to Dyana,
"Darling, where are you going?"
Dyana looked at him and said,
"Disgusting."
Huwa smirked and said,
"You're out so late, alone… what if something happens? Let me accompany
you."
His friends started laughing.
Dyana began feeling a bit uncomfortable…
But then, a voice came from behind
"Hey, Dyana!"
Dyana turned around and saw a boy standing there, with a slightly cut lip,
wearing shorts and a vest.
She thought,
"Who's this now?"
Then Huwa asked her,
"Is this weirdo with you!?"
Dyana suddenly remembered,
"This guy is Li Chan from our university… the one always chasing after Liya. But
right now, I need to get out of this situation… I'll use this idiot."
Then Dyana said to Huwa,
"Yeah, but he fell down… that's why his clothes are torn."
Li Chan approached her and said,
"Dyana, what are you—"
Before he could finish, Dyana covered his mouth with her hand, grabbed his
hand, and ran off saying,
"Come on, we're getting late!"
Seeing this, Huwa turned to his friends and said,
"Looks like we got played by a girl again…"
Meanwhile…
Dyana stopped outside the bag shop holding Li's hand and smiled cutely at
him.
"Thank you, Li Chan… because of you, I got out of that situation."
Li Chan blushed a little.
Then he asked,
"Dyana, what are you doing here at this time?"
Dyana smiled and replied,
"I just came to buy a bag."
Li Chan looked at her and thought,
"Alright... this is a good chance!"
Then he said to her,
"Come on, I'll buy you a bag."
Dyana asked in surprise,
"You have that kind of money? And what if Liya finds out?"
Li Chan smiled calmly and said,
"I've got a lot of money. And Liya and I have broken up."
Hearing this, Dyana thought,
"Looks like he's trying to impress me too. But not that easy… Let's see how
much he really has. The last guy who tried spent 272k yen from his savings… and
ended up crying in the shopping mall."
Then she looked at Li Chan and said,
"Okay then, let's go inside the shop."
And then,
Dyana held his hand and took him inside the shop.
Li Chan had an injury in his leg, so he said while balancing himself,
"Walk slower, Dyana…"
Inside the shop…
Dyana thought,
"I need to pick something he can actually afford. Otherwise, if I take
something expensive and he can't pay, I'll have to cover the cost myself."
With that thought, she picked up a 'Porter' brand bag.
Then she said to Li,
"I want this one."
Li looked at the price tag and thought in shock,
18k yen.
In his mind he thought,
"That's my entire month's expense… Should I really do this?"
But by then, Dyana had already reached the counter with the bag and called
him.
"Li Chan, come quickly!"
As he walked toward the counter, he thought,
"Whatever happens… we'll see…"
He took out his credit card…
Dyana was a bit surprised and thought,
"Can he really pay?"
Li Chan swiped the card...
Suddenly,
The machine beeped:
"18k yen transaction successful."
Dyana was a little shocked,
"Does he really have money? No… maybe it's his savings. But he has it!"
Just then...
A system window popped up in front of Li:
Dyana's trust in the host has increased by 0.1%.
Dyana's Bounty: 100 million yen
0.1% = 100,000 yen
100,000 yen has been transferred to the host's bank account.
Just then, Li's phone buzzed with a message…
He took it out and read the pop-up:
"Congratulations! You are now qualified to use the Black Dragon Limited
Edition credit card with 0% tax and unlimited transactions. No limitations."
Li Chan was surprised,
"When did I apply for Black Dragon!?"
Then another system pop-up appeared:
"This card is a gift from the system. We have transferred your funds into
this card. From now on, system money will be credited to this card, and you can
use it freely."
Li Chan put his hand in his pocket…
He felt the Black Dragon card.
Then the system popped up again:
"Your current balance is 100,000 yen."
