【Accumulated 101 demons eliminated, system upgraded to version 2.0.】
【For every demon you eliminate, you will receive a 100 million yuan demon-hunting bonus.】
【The road to demon hunting is arduous; we walk alone with a hundred million.】
Henry Parker put on his pants, picked up his phone, and saw a new text message.
His pupils suddenly contracted, then rapidly dilated.
That text message was from the most prestigious Tianxia Bank in Tang Nation: “Dear customer, Tianxia Bank kindly reminds you that you have received a transfer of 100,000,000 yuan.”
Henry Parker showed no emotion on the surface, as steady as ever.
He took three deep breaths discreetly, then opened his online banking app.
The effect of deep breathing vanished, and his heartbeat suddenly sped up.
The chubby guy saw his refreshed online banking balance: 100,135,269 yuan.
Chapter 4: Walking Alone with a Hundred Million
A windfall from the heavens, yet Henry Parker still maintained his composure.
After surviving 101 life-and-death encounters, each one dancing on the edge of a blade, there was little left that could surprise him.
He clicked “transaction details” on the online banking interface and gathered useful information: New Calendar Year 124, March 8th, 21:49, remitter—Heavenly Dao Foundation.
The chubby guy opened his browser and searched for Heavenly Dao Foundation.
He found nothing useful; there was no such foundation anywhere in the world.
With a heavy heart, he got into Grace Bennett’s car. “Take me to Huaxi Hospital.”
“You’re hurt? Is it serious?” Grace Bennett asked with concern.
“I just got my balls frozen, going to get them checked.” The chubby guy habitually spoke nonsense.
With that one sentence, the conversation died. Grace Bennett was too embarrassed to ask if his balls were sad.
In silence, the car arrived at Huaxi Hospital, one of the top hospitals in Rong City.
“Xiao Lin, thanks. You can head back now.”
After saying that, the chubby guy left and entered the hospital alone.
Watching Consultant Parker’s back, Grace Bennett was filled with mixed emotions.
She didn’t know where Consultant Parker was hurt tonight, only that the chubby guy was a member of this hospital.
These days, many men get memberships at entertainment venues, but a man like Henry Parker who gets a hospital membership is truly a breath of fresh air.
He had walked into the hospital, covered in blood and all alone, more than once.
Once, Henry Parker collapsed at the hospital entrance, covered in blood, and in a daze sang “Bohemian Rhapsody”: “Mama, I don’t want to die. But sometimes, I wish I’d never been born at all…”
That scene was caught on camera, and since then he’d earned the nickname “mad beauty.”
Grace Bennett guessed that the mad beauty, wearing red underwear to fight a rat demon, was probably injured, and out of sheer stubbornness, that man refused to say a word.
A girl’s sixth sense isn’t always reliable.
The chubby guy was leaning on the hospital front desk, flirting with a nurse in a white coat.
He very old-school took out a leather wallet, which held his ID card, bank card, medical insurance card, Huaxi Hospital membership card, and several VIP cards for clubs, foot massage parlors, and KTVs.
“Miss, let me ask, is the Enlightenment Fruit available here 24 hours a day?” the chubby guy asked.
“Yes, Huaxi Hospital is the only designated awakening site in the Tianfu region. We provide the best awakening environment, and if any risks arise during the process, we have a professional medical team for rescue,” the nurse replied.
“Any discounts for members?” Henry Parker asked.
“The Enlightenment Fruit is extremely rare, with a nationwide fixed price of 100 million Tang yuan, which includes hospitalization fees.”
“Alright, set it up, let’s do it right away.” Henry Parker was eager to try.
The nurse was stunned. “Are you sure?”
“Hurry up, I can’t wait,” the chubby guy said impatiently.
The nurse handed over a document. “Please sign the ‘Awakening Agreement.’ We recommend you read it carefully.”
The chubby guy flipped through the document, then took out his phone to check his online banking balance again. That long string of numbers gave him confidence.
There was no clause requiring proof of assets in the agreement, which was why he’d rushed over in the middle of the night.
He didn’t have time to think about where the money came from—he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
Might as well do something practical; once he had a spiritual root, he could slowly consider the source of the funds.
To avoid complications, better to awaken first and think later.
If the authorities wanted to investigate his finances, that would be a problem for after his awakening.
The system had a saying that spoke to his heart: The road to demon hunting is arduous; we walk alone with a hundred million.
Right now, he was about to walk alone with a hundred million!
Henry Parker made a snap decision and signed the agreement.
Soon, a duty supervisor arrived, confirmed the details, and Henry Parker swiped his card for an experiment.
He wanted to see if the hundred million in his account could actually be spent.
Experiment successful!
The medical staff’s attitude toward him immediately became several times more enthusiastic.
Everything that happened next proved a simple truth: money makes things easier.
The chubby guy changed clothes and lay down in a special awakening ward, ready to embrace the moment that would change his fate.
An elderly man in a white coat and mask opened a box and handed over a fruit, golden all over and radiating with swirling energy.
