"Attribute points can be gained?!" At this moment, truly nothing could be better than being able to improve his own attributes. David Hamilton grinned from ear to ear as he listened. "Is it really possible to gain attribute points by squandering money, and make myself like a normal person?"
Although the system's voice was still as cold as ever, at this moment it sounded almost like music to his ears: "Yes."
David Hamilton was so excited he nearly jumped up: "I want to splurge! I want to squander!"
"Next, please accept your first mission: First Squandering. Mission requirement: squander at least 100,000 yuan before midnight tonight. Mission reward: one attribute point. Failure penalty: 5 attribute points will be randomly deducted from the host."
"Current amount squandered: 0."
After hearing this from the prodigal system, David Hamilton instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "Squander 100,000 yuan before midnight? Damn, it's already eight o'clock at night! There are only about four hours left. No, I have to go out! I have to squander!"
Just as he was thinking this, the door to his room was gently pushed open. A maid in her forties gave David Hamilton a slight bow and said softly, "Young Master Dali, Master and Madam ask for your presence. Please come with me."
Chapter 0002: Marriage Proposal
"Master and Madam?" Upon hearing this, David Hamilton's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "They must be the biological parents of this body? Then... how should I feel about them?"
No wonder David Hamilton was hesitant.
Back on Earth, he was an orphan. His parents had died when he was very young, so he had always lacked the love of family. Now, in this world, not only did he have a new body, but he also gained a pair of biological parents. This made him feel very complicated.
Happy? He was truly happy. After all, having parents was something David Hamilton had never even dared to dream of before. But at this moment, he wasn't just happy—he was also very nervous. After all, he wasn't familiar with these parents. He didn't know the names of this body's parents, whether they were good or bad to him, and to just call them Mom and Dad upon first meeting was something he simply couldn't bring himself to do.
This mix of anticipation and fear made David Hamilton extremely uneasy. On top of that, he was now burdened with the system's mission—to squander 100,000 yuan within four hours, and of course, the money could only come from this body's parents...
Looks like, no matter what, he had to meet them.
David Hamilton was only stunned for a moment, then quickly tidied up his clothes and followed the maid out.
All the way, David Hamilton didn't speak, just quietly followed the maid, but his eyes were far from idle, carefully observing his surroundings: "A three-story villa, with a huge central atrium, topped with transparent stained glass, allowing a view of the stars in the sky. The entire first floor is a super luxurious reception hall. Not sure what's on the third floor yet. My room is on the east side of the second floor. The total building area of the villa is about... three thousand square meters. Overall, this body's family is quite well-off, probably a top-tier wealthy household."
This was indeed good news, at least providing David Hamilton with the financial foundation to splurge and squander for attribute points.
So David Hamilton was in a pretty good mood at this point, and soon he saw five people in the first-floor reception hall: two men and three women. Seated at the east end was a couple. The man wore simple home clothes, but couldn't hide the authority on his face, especially those thick eyebrows, which added to his imposing presence. The woman beside him wore a light purple nightgown, leaning lazily against the man, a faint smile on her lips, her mouth gently pursed, exuding grace and elegance.
"These must be my parents in this world," David Hamilton thought to himself.
The other three were clearly a family of three. The man was about forty-five or forty-six, wearing a grayish-blue vest, with a faint stubble on his upper lip, holding an antique bronze pipe, and his short black hair was slicked back, shiny and neat. His wife wore a black evening dress, her long, shiny black hair piled high, legs together and slanted to the side, looking quite sexy and beautiful.
The last was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, her skin as white as cream, glowing even whiter than snow, dressed in a white one-piece short dress, revealing a pair of jade-like legs. The girl's long hair draped over her shoulders, and the white dress made her look even more stunning, almost too beautiful to look at directly. For a moment, David Hamilton felt dazzled, as if in a dream, his heart pounding wildly. At the same time, the girl happened to see him coming, but she frowned slightly and turned her head away.
