I Traded My Life for 30 Billion, So Am I the Protagonist Now?

(One face-slapping moment every day! Thirty billion is just the beginning. Watch a poor kid wager his lifespan to build a business empire and forge a legendary path to immortality!)

On a rainy night in his rented room, Chen Fan received a junk text: “Three hundred billion to buy your life. Deal?”

He laughed, cursed, and deleted it. The next second, a bank notification blew up his screen. Nine zeroes made his eyes swim.

“Remaining lifespan: 999 days.”

The System panel had barely appeared when his landlord kicked the door open to demand rent. Chen Fan tossed him 32,000 yuan. “Keep the extra. It’s compensation for running your mouth about throwing out my stuff.”

As he turned, he spotted his ex-girlfriend walking by arm in arm with a rich heir. A pregnancy test result fluttered into view through the car window. Chen Fan pulled out the keys to his brand-new Rolls-Royce and couldn’t even be bothered to look.

But before he could enjoy himself for long, the System issued another quest: “Save Lin Group CEO Lin Ruobing and gain seven days of life.”

The icy female CEO in the photo was the same woman who had tossed his resume in the trash last week.

“So 300 billion is a death warrant?” Chen Fan lit a cigarette and opened the skills tab. “Then I’ll use that money to bribe the King of Hell into rewriting the Book of Life and Death!”

Basic combat skills to beat up debt collectors, business foresight to buy the dip on Wall Street, meridian enhancements to take on ancient martial artists...

When international conglomerates shorted China and ancient cultivators fought to seize his System, Chen Fan stood at the top of the world, counting his money.

“Everyone who thought I was too poor can get lost. The me you see now is way out of your league!”
