9: Chapter 9 Ten Consecutive Draws
After all, in this world, money is king.
But the next day, he still couldn't get past his own conscience, thinking that he should return all the money when the person came back.
But the current situation was that the money hadn't been returned yesterday, and his account now had an extra million.
After deducting the platform's cut, he still had over five hundred thousand; how could he not feel flustered?
"Thank you so much, Sister. It would be a lie to say I'm not moved by such a large amount of money.
If there's any dance you want to see, Sister, just let me know."
"Alright. Now that you have the money, you can sign up for a dance training class. Your dancing lacks professional guidance."
Actually, Gao Ying didn't understand it either; she just said it after hearing Fugui's comment.
"Okay, Sister. I'll go sign up for a training institution right now. I'll definitely study hard."
Xia Yang loved dancing. Before, he had neither the time nor the money to learn, but now he finally had the chance. He was truly grateful to Gao Ying.
Xia Yang ended his stream. Gao Ying glanced at the time—it was only nine in the evening—but she didn't plan to keep playing on her phone.
Instead, she began to study the system panel.
"Eh, Guibao, what is this Merit? It wasn't on the panel this morning." Gao Ying asked curiously, looking at the Merit displayed below the emotion points.
[Because Sister did a good deed today, it was converted into Merit Points. Once the money is donated to a charitable fund or another platform for good deeds tomorrow, the Power of Merit will increase even more,] Fugui explained.
"Can the Power of Merit also be used to buy things in the mall?"
[Sister is so smart. The Power of Merit is more valuable than emotion points.
One point of the Power of Merit can be converted into 10 points.
However, few hosts use the Power of Merit to buy things in the mall.]
"Does this Power of Merit have the effect of bringing the dead back to life?" Gao Ying laughed after saying it. How could that be possible?
No matter how powerful Fugui was, he was just a system developed by an advanced planet. How could he possibly bring people back to life just because of the Power of Merit?
[Sister, although it's not as powerful as bringing someone back from the dead, as long as the person hasn't stopped breathing, the Power of Merit still has an eighty percent chance of saving them.]
"Wow! That's amazing. No wonder others don't use it lightly. I need to save this Power of Merit carefully, just in case I need it one day."
Something this good must be saved for the most critical moment.
"Xia Yang's favorability has already risen to 60. This is the power of money.
But Guibao, what use is this favorability to me?"
Gao Ying asked this because she had realized that anything displayed on the panel was useful to her.
[Sister, as long as a person has been identified by the system, once their favorability toward the host reaches 50, you can perform a lucky draw.]
"That's great! Xia Yang is already over 50. Let me try a draw." Gao Ying was excited to hear she could draw again.
Fugui jumped to the lucky draw page. This time, the prizes weren't elixirs but company shares, limited-edition cars, identity cards, mysterious gift boxes, and so on.
Xia Yang's favorability was now 60, which meant she could draw 10 times.
"Guibao, I've washed my hands very thoroughly. You must help me draw a mysterious gift box!"
"Okay, Sister. Although I can't cheat, I will share my good luck with you." Seeing how serious she was, Fugui also felt nervous.
Gao Ying clicked start with a trembling hand.
[Congratulations, Sister, on drawing a Phantom Silver Shuttle private jet.]
"It knows the villa has an airfield! But I don't need this right now. After all, I'm so poor that all I have left is money. Wouldn't buying it myself allow me to spend a large sum?" Gao Ying wasn't happy about drawing the private jet.
After all, anything that could be bought with money was a trivial matter to her now.
[Sister, this private jet is a status symbol; it's not something money alone can buy. Besides, you can buy a few more planes. After all, you can't have only one property.]
"You're right. Put this in the system inventory for now; I'll deal with it when I need it."
Drawing again, Gao Ying muttered, "Identity card, identity card, identity card."
An identity card was what she needed most right now. The system mall hadn't opened yet, and Fugui could only provide a vague identity for her, not a clear one. Furthermore, she didn't know how expensive the items in the mall would be.
So, establishing an identity early was the safest bet.
Perhaps her willpower was too strong, as it actually stopped on the identity card.
"Fantastic! Guibao, you're really my lucky star. Muah!"
[I'm happy if Sister is happy.] Seeing her jump with joy, Fugui was also happy.
"Precious... Treasure... can I... handle this identity?" Looking at the identity card, Gao Ying was so shocked she started to stutter.
[Sister, as long as you open the mall as soon as possible, any identity can be perfected.]
The identity card showed that Gao Ying's identity was the sole heir of an ancient Hidden with a thousand-year history.
Completely independent of any national system, its influence permeated the entire country, yet no one knew its true face.
"Once the lucky draw is over, I'll work hard to spend money. I'll try to use up the five billion by tomorrow."
The third reward was ten Death Warriors to accompany her as the heir of the ancient Hidden.
Gao Ying saw the descriptions of the death warriors; each had their own specialty.
Bodyguard type: Top-tier combat, master of cold and hot weapons, mind-reading level micro-expression observation, low presence, blending into the environment like a shadow.
Intelligence type: Top hacker, linguistic genius (proficient in multiple languages), master of disguise, responsible for information gathering, monitoring, and early warning.
Technical type: Explosive demolition expert, top-tier driving skills, communication expert, medical equipment operation.
Gao Ying was very satisfied with these people's skills.
"Guibao, are these ten people Androids?"
[Yes, Sister. They are Death Warriors who will only listen to your commands. You can choose which type of Android you need based on those descriptions.]
"If I redeem them, won't anyone identify their true nature?"
After all, technology is advanced now; she was afraid a machine might scan them and find out they weren't human.
[Sister, you're overthinking it. Your planet doesn't have any machines that can identify their true nature yet.
Once redeemed, they will be just like humans, with emotions and all their internal organs intact.]
After hearing his words, Gao Ying was relieved. In that case, she wanted every type.
"I have to say, these Androids are really handsome. If I look at them all the time, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a partner!"
Looking at the Androids on the screen, every single one was impeccable. It was truly hard not to be moved!
[Then Sister should just take them all. Anyway, except for being unable to have children, they have every other function,] Fugui said matter-of-factly.
"Shut up! I'm a decent person, very decent!"
Hearing Fugui's words, Gao Ying felt a momentary stir of excitement, but she quickly returned to reality.
"Guibao, if I redeem them now, when will they arrive?"
[Tomorrow morning, they will arrive at the hotel rooftop by private jet.]
After redeeming the people, Gao Ying continued the lucky draw.
