74: Chapter 74 Am I seeing things?!

"Dad, that notification is back!"

Tang Shanshan made a bitter face as she handed over her phone.

Tang Jianye frowned, his heart skipping a beat.

He took the phone and looked down.

The next second, he sighed helplessly.

[Abnormal capital inflow detected in user account again.]

[System is re-evaluating user's actual purchasing power.]

[Purchase level has been upgraded.]

[Current purchase price: 10,000,000 yuan/year.]

It went up tenfold again!

It hit ten million directly!

The hall instantly fell silent; everyone was speechless.

It was just 100,000 a year a moment ago.

Yet after buying it six times, it skyrocketed to ten million?

The speed of this price hike is simply outrageous!

"Gulp..."

A staff member nearby couldn't help but swallow hard.

His annual salary was only a few hundred thousand.

Yet this software charges ten million for a single year of lifespan?

Tang Shanshan was completely numb.

"Dad..."

"This is too much of a rip-off..."

"It was 100,000 a year just now, and now it's ten million?"

"It jumped a hundredfold in an instant..."

She felt like crying.

She had only just realized her dream of immortality! Yet the next second, the dream was shattered!

A thousand years of lifespan shrank to just ten years...

Who could stand this?

Tang Jianye remained silent. He stared at the phone, not speaking for a long time.

No one in the hall dared to make a sound.

After a full half-minute, he slowly exhaled.

"It seems this software is even more terrifying than I imagined."

"It won't let anyone exploit any loopholes at all."

"If a sum of money suddenly appears in the account, it might not care."

"But if it appears continuously and is used to buy lifespan, it will re-evaluate the user's purchasing power until it deems the price reasonable."

"I suspect the software was even going easy on us..."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have even had the chance to buy those three times just now."

Hearing this, the crowd also reacted.

That's right! One must remember this is a software capable of trading lifespan!

So mysterious, so powerful, so intelligent...

If the other party wanted to, we probably wouldn't even have had the chance to buy it once!

But now that they thought about it, it made sense.

If this mechanism didn't exist, those wealthy people could completely secure benefits for their descendants and buy infinite lifespan at a low price!

Sacrificing one person to ensure the continuation of the entire family... Surely many people would be willing.

The hall gradually quieted down. Everyone felt it was unbelievable.

Who exactly created this software? Or perhaps... was it really created by humans?

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but shiver.

After a while, Tang Jianye waved his hand.

"Forget it."

"Let's just leave it at that for now."

Upon hearing this, the staff stopped what they were doing.

Tang Shanshan also looked like a deflated balloon. "My dream of immortality..."

"Whack!" Su Yun slapped her on the head.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You're only twenty-three, and the software shows you can live to over seventy!"

Tang Shanshan covered her head, "But who would complain about having too long a life..."

This one sentence silenced Su Yun as well.

Indeed, who would complain about having a long life? Especially after personally experiencing the magic of the lifespan treasure, surely no one could resist the temptation of immortality.

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat downcast for a moment.

However, just at this moment, Tang Jianye suddenly paused.

Because he discovered that the homepage of the lifespan treasure... seemed a bit different?

The originally empty interface now had an additional section: [Shop]!

"Huh?" Tang Jianye was stunned.

Su Yun and Tang Shanshan were also stunned and quickly checked. "A shop?"

They hadn't seen it when they bought lifespan for the first time. As for just now, they hadn't noticed it.

Tang Jianye didn't speak and clicked on it immediately. The next second, his eyes widened.

On the screen, rows of items were clearly displayed: [youth-preserving pill], [beauty pill], [inedia pill], [human serum], [gale boots].

The entire hall was dumbfounded. Everyone's eyes were wide as saucers.

"What the f*ck?!"

"What is this stuff?!"

"A youth-preserving pill?!"

"A beauty pill?!"

"Human serum?!"

"gale boots?!"

"Is this some kind of cultivation game?!"

Everyone was bewildered. Su Yun couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Honey..."

"Is this real or fake?"

Tang Shanshan was so excited she stood up.

"Dad!"

"A youth-preserving pill!"

"Could this thing really keep you eternally young?"

"And this human serum..."

"You wouldn't turn into a superhero after taking it, would you?"

Everyone looked at each other; no one knew. Because these items were simply too outrageous.

But thinking about it carefully, they soon felt relieved. After all, trading lifespan was already a very outrageous thing. So, for the shop to be selling these items... it could be considered reasonable, right?

Tang Jianye took a deep breath and began to examine them carefully. He wouldn't doubt the authenticity of the items at all.

Soon, his gaze stopped on one pill.

[beauty pill]

[Price: 15,000,000 yuan.] (Price changed)

[Description: After consumption, it can improve skin condition, optimize appearance, and enhance complexion.]

Tang Jianye's eyes flickered. Improve appearance? Enhance complexion? To be honest, he was a bit tempted.

It wasn't for himself, but for Su Yun. After all, when she was young, she was a famous beauty; if he hadn't used a little "money power"...

Tang Jianye didn't hesitate; his finger tapped down directly.

[Purchase beauty pill?]

[Price: 15,000,000 yuan.]

[Confirm.]

The next second. Beep! A notification sound rang out.

At the same time, the staff member responsible for financial operations nearby suddenly changed expression.

"President Tang!"

"The money in the account is down by 15 million!"

"What?!" The team leader was shocked. "Who did you transfer it to?"

"Boss, I didn't do anything!"

"I didn't transfer this money!"

"The account funds were directly deducted!"

Boom! The team leader's head buzzed. Directly deducted? Without even going through the bank transfer process? How is that possible?!

Su Yun and Tang Shanshan were also full of shock. Immediately reacting, they looked at Tang Jianye.

However, compared to everyone else's shock, Tang Jianye appeared very calm. After all, he had already experienced this once. When he bought lifespan before, the money had also been deducted out of thin air. Now it was just happening again.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Jianye waved his hand. "I used it."

As he was speaking, just as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred! Hum!

The air in the center of the hall seemed to distort slightly.

The next second, a pill the size of a longan lay quietly on the table. It was milky white throughout, with a lustrous sheen faintly flowing over its surface. As soon as it appeared, a faint, fresh fragrance quickly permeated the air.

Silence! Dead silence! In the hall, everyone seemed to have been hit by a freezing spell. Everyone had their mouths wide open, their eyes almost popping out.

After a full dozen seconds, someone finally spoke with a trembling voice.

"Am... am I seeing things?!"
