C33 – Grandmaster Borrowed Money
Pei Yuner still needed a few more days to recuperate in the hospital.
anwhile, Pei Yu’s reading cooldown period had elapsed.
“Let’s see what novels I can dive into.”
Upon arriving ho, Pei Yu called up the system.
[Martial World] (Great God)
[Heaven Devouring Martial God] (Great God)
[Asura Continent] (Great God)
Browsing through the selection, Pei Yu was thrilled.
He wanted them all.
Yet, he had to be discerning and choose one he truly liked—no room for hasty decisions.
In that mont, Pei Yu experienced the delightful dilemma of too many choices. He was at a loss, unable to decide which book to pick.
It was like a poor guy who hadn’t had a girlfriend in decades suddenly finding himself surrounded by a dozen stunning won.
Each one was incredibly attractive, and he was clueless about which one to choose.
“This one looks good.”
After a mont, Pei Yu’s attention settled on a novel titled “Dragon Blood God King.”
Book Na: [Dragon Blood God King]
Genre: Great God Novel
Chapters: 1,600
Price: 185,423/Chapter
Synopsis: Forged with the bloodline of dragon kin, the strongest bodies are crafted. They can withstand the devouring of the sun and fend off the onslaught of gods and demons.
A short while later, Pei Yu asked the system with a wry smile, “System, are you playing tricks on ?”
“What seems to be the problem, Host?”
“To read a single chapter, I need to shell out 180,000 yuan. You’re clearly having a laugh at my expense.”
Pei Yu was livid. The price tag nearly made him choke.
One hundred eighty thousand per chapter? Surely this was so kind of joke?
Two hundred thousand is what an ordinary family earns in two years. With Pei Yu’s salary, it would take him two years to afford just one chapter.
“You’re reading a great god novel for the first ti, so I would normally offer you a 30% discount. However, the system has detected that you’ve read a great god novel before, so no discount applies this ti,” the system responded with a chilling indifference that left Pei Yu with a bitter smile.
“How much do I have in my account now?”
“Your current assets total: 235,874,165.”
“Over two hundred million… and here I thought I was wealthy.”
Pei Yu let out a sigh. The system then inquired, “Would you like to spend 296,676,800 to purchase ‘Dragon Blood God King’?”
“Do you really think I can afford that?”
“The deadline for the book ‘Dragon Blood God King’ is in three days. If you don’t purchase it by then, it’ll be taken off the shelves.”
Pei Yu felt a twinge of annoyance upon hearing the system’s words. He inquired, “So when will the book be available again?”
“The date is uncertain. There’s a chance it may never return to the shelves.”
“Is this your way of pressuring ?” Pei Yu couldn’t hide his irritation.
The system was indeed leveraging this tactic to coerce Pei Yu.
So, if he didn’t make the purchase, the book would be gone for good?
The system asked, “Host, will you spend 296,676,800 to acquire ‘Dragon Blood Battle God’?”
“Could you knock off the last two zeroes?” Pei Yu pondered for a mont before tentatively proposing, “If you let it go for 2,966,768, I’ll take it.”
The system was at a loss for words.
“Well? Are you going to sell it or not?”
As the system remained silent, Pei Yu silently fud, “You just wait!”
He grabbed his phone and called Qian Wenwei. His current financial situation was dire; he had no choice but to ask soone else for a loan.
At that mont, Qian Wenwei was in the midst of bone tempering when Pei Yu’s call ca through.
“Mr. Pei, what can I do for you?”
“Qian, could you lend
so cash? I’m in a bit of a bind. I’ll pay you back as soon as I get my salary.”
“That’s fine, Mr. Pei. How much do you need?”
“Roughly a billion.”
Qian Wenwei was left speechless.
Are you certain you’ll be able to repay
later?
