Liu Yuhao is a 996 office drone whose bank balance is never enough to cover next quarter's rent.
Then one night, he walked in on his roommate in their shared kitchen, gnawing raw, bloody chicken bones. The roommate turned around, pupils narrowed to slits, half a strip of raw meat dangling from his mouth.
"You saw that, didn't you?"
Liu Yuhao didn't run. A prompt suddenly appeared in his mind:
[Demon-Hunting System activating...]
[Target: Low-tier Flesh-Eater Demon (roommate)]
[Bounty: 800,000 yuan]
Three minutes later, his roommate was on his knees begging for mercy. The 800,000 yuan landed in his account.
Looking at the balance in his text message, Liu Yuhao quietly opened the System shop.
"So... where can I find high-tier demons to hunt?"
From then on, the aloof goddess of a coworker at the office? A succubus. Catch her, earn 1.5 million.
The middle-aged woman who danced in the plaza downstairs every day? A youth-preserving demon. Take her down, earn 2.2 million.
The arrogant driver who cut in front of him in traffic? A wrath demon. Net it and haul it away, earn 3 million.
Six months later, Liu Yuhao had bought three apartments in the city center outright and become the most wanted man in the city's demon community.
The ancient Demon King broke free of his seal and stepped forth, changing the heavens and earth as ten thousand demons fell to their knees.
Liu Yuhao arrived with his net, ready to make his move, but the Demon King dropped to one knee.
"Big bro, please don't arrest me... How about I become your underling?"
"I'll go persuade every demon in this city to move away."
Liu Yuhao frowned. "Then what happens to my performance record?"
The Demon King cried, "I'll give you my entire stash of spirit-stone mines, collected over five hundred years!"
Liu Yuhao opened the System and took a look at the bounty:
¥999,999,999
He quietly put away his net and patted the Demon King on the shoulder.
"You should've said so sooner. We'll split it fifty-fifty."
It's so beautiful!
