37: Chapter 37 Going to draw a prize? Forget it, let's just keep increasing lifespan!
"System." Su Yun chanted silently in his heart.
Swoosh! A pale blue light screen that only he could see appeared out of thin air before his eyes.
[Host: Su Yun]
[Current Lifespan Balance: 150 days...]
[Current merit points: 200 points]
Looking at the number "200", Su Yun's eyes were glowing.
It was real light.
It was even brighter than the Carnival that the Hangcheng Young Master had gifted earlier.
This was his life!
This was all earned bit by bit through his own ability to swindle... oh no, to earn.
Especially the wave where he caught Old Wu, which gave him 150 points directly!
This was practically getting rich overnight!
The system mall interface was flickering on the side.
The [Lucky Draw] icon was flashy, constantly jumping, and emitting an alluring glow.
"Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
"Ten consecutive draws guarantee a premium item!"
The temptation was absolutely maxed out.
If it were before, Su Yun would definitely have tried his luck, after all, everyone has a gambling mentality.
But now.
Su Yun didn't even glance at that lucky draw wheel.
His gaze was locked firmly onto the unassuming option next to it, [Lifespan Exchange].
Just kidding.
His life was almost gone, what was he drawing for?
If he drew something like "Thank you for participating" or "Complete Guide to Postpartum Care for Sows", who would he cry to?
Staying alive was the only hard truth.
"System, exchange for lifespan."
Su Yun gave the command without hesitation.
[How many merit points does the host need to exchange? The exchange rate is 10 merit points = 1 day of lifespan.]
"Two hundred points! Exchange it all!"
Su Yun waved his hand grandly, full of heroic spirit.
[Ding! Confirmed consumption of 200 merit points.]
[Exchange successful!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining lifespan: 20 days.]
[Current Lifespan Balance: 170 days...]
As the system prompt ended.
A strange warm current suddenly surged down from the top of Su Yun's head.
This feeling was amazing.
It was like soaking in a hot spring in the middle of winter, or like parched land meeting sweet rain.
The warm current flowed through his meridians and all over his body.
Su Yun could clearly feel his originally heavy and weak body undergoing earth-shattering changes.
The stabbing pain that appeared in his brain from time to time had disappeared.
The stuffy, suffocating feeling in his chest was also gone.
Replacing them was a long-lost sense of ease and strength.
Su Yun clenched his fist.
His knuckles made a crisp cracking sound.
A sense of power!
This was the feeling of being healthy!
Although 20 days didn't sound like much, for someone who originally only had three months to live, this was a massive gift.
Su Yun stood up and walked to the window.
He pulled open the curtains.
Outside the window was the brilliant night view of the city.
Neon lights flickered, and traffic flowed like a river.
Before, looking at this scenery, Su Yun only felt it was noisy and had nothing to do with him, as he was going to die anyway.
But now.
Looking at the flickering lights in the distance, Su Yun actually found it quite beautiful.
Even the sound of the motorcycle from the 'ghost fire' youth downstairs tearing up the street sounded much more pleasant.
"More than a hundred days now."
Su Yun looked at his reflection in the glass, a smile curling the corners of his mouth.
"As long as I keep doing this, this cancer might not be incurable."
"God wants to take me? That depends on whether the merit points in my hand agree."
Just at this moment.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated frantically.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The movement was like a powered-on massager, dancing on the desktop.
Su Yun walked over and picked up his phone to look.
Good heavens, the screen was full of red dots; WeChat had 99+ unread messages.
Douyin direct messages were at 99+, and his SMS inbox had exploded too.
Su Yun casually opened Weibo.
On the trending list, there were actually three entries about him in the top ten.
#Su Yun Fortune Telling# dropped into third place on the trending list, followed by a dark red "Explosive" character.
#Sun Jianguo Cuckold# was ranked fifth, and its popularity remained high.
#Live Stream Catching Grave Robbers# even surged to eighth.
The whole internet was discussing tonight's live stream.
"Who on earth is this Master Su? This is too divine!"
"Script! It must be a script! I don't believe anyone can figure out where someone is buried!"
"To the person above, the blue-background, white-text police report is out, and you're telling me it's a script? Are the police acting with him?"
"Subscribed! This is the real metaphysics master!"
Su Yun looked at these comments with no ripples in his heart.
Famous?
That was certain.
But he had no interest in fame right now; he only cared about whether more "big customers" like Old Wu would come tomorrow.
At this moment, a WeChat message popped up.
The note read [Starlight MCN - President Wang].
This was a fairly famous big guild boss in the industry; in the past, when Su Yun wanted to sign with them, they wouldn't even look at him.
Now, they were coming to him proactively.
"Hello Teacher Su! I watched your live stream, it was absolutely astonishing! We are very sincere about wanting to sign you, the signing fee starts at ten million! All resources will be tilted towards you! As long as you nod, I will fly over to find you with the contract tomorrow!"
Ten million.
If this number were from before, Su Yun would probably have knelt down and called him daddy.
But now?
Su Yun sneered.
He swiped his finger across the screen, deleted the chat box, and blocked him, all in one go.
I am someone who is fighting for my life against Yama right now, and you want to buy my life with ten million?
Besides, once signed to an agency, one has to be controlled and cooperate with them on scripts and live-streaming sales.
How can that compare to the freedom of working for oneself?
After dealing with these chores, Su Yun's stomach suddenly rumbled twice.
Between using his brain and his tongue, he was indeed hungry.
Whatever master demeanor he had, it was all fleeting in the face of hunger.
Su Yun skillfully opened the food delivery app and ordered a Braised Chicken Rice, specifically adding a braised egg.
Then, while waiting for the delivery, he opened his mobile banking app.
He looked at the balance on it.
The tips from tonight, after deducting the platform's cut, amounted to several tens of thousands.
Plus what was left before.
Su Yun didn't hesitate and directly initiated a transfer.
Recipient: City Children's Welfare Institute.
Amount: 50,000.
He entered his password and confirmed the transfer.
Watching the balance decrease instantly, Su Yun felt no heartache at all.
Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born or when you die.
Besides, the system said this is called "transferring karma".
Holding this money, not only is it not burning his hands, but it can also accumulate hidden merit for himself.
Although the system didn't give him merit points, he felt this was worth doing.
About twenty minutes passed.
Knock knock knock!
A series of urgent knocks came from the door.
"Food delivery!"
Su Yun got up to open the door.
Standing outside was a young delivery guy, holding the yellow delivery bag, sweating profusely.
"Enjoy your meal..."
The delivery guy was saying the standard pleasantries while looking up at Su Yun.
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly choked.
His eyes widened abruptly, as if he had seen a ghost.
He pointed at Su Yun, his fingers trembling.
"F-f*ck?!"
"Are you the fortune-telling master from just now?!"
The delivery guy's voice changed pitch; it was out of excitement.
He had been listening to Su Yun's live stream on his way to deliver the food; he didn't expect the real person to be standing right in front of him!
This was too surreal!
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
It seemed that the popularity was spreading faster than he had imagined.
Even the delivery guy recognized him.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to keep a low profile in the days to come.
