Chapter 28 How did you know I have a hundred million?
Chen You took a deep breath and reached out to push the magnificent gate, which was carved from a single piece of white jade.
The anticipated heavy resistance did not materialize.
The moment his palm touched the cool, smooth jade door, it slid open silently, as if it had been waiting for his arrival.
Inside the door, there was no gaudy, opulent scene.
Instead, it was a spacious and elegant hall with a floor paved with a deep obsidian that was so shiny it reflected light.
Reflecting the soft glow above the dome, the light did not come from lamps, but from pearls floating in the air, emitting a faint glow.
The air was filled with a faint, refreshing sandalwood scent.
A surge of spiritual energy, more than ten times stronger than that outside, rushed towards him, causing every pore on his body to open up.
The cultivation technique, "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique," even began to operate unconsciously and slowly within the body.
Just standing here, the cultivation speed is much faster than outside!
This place is definitely strange!
Just as Chen You was looking around at this magical place, a soft and melodious female voice, yet with a strange quality, came from the depths of the hall.
"Welcome to the Supreme Pavilion."
Chen You looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, barefoot, walking silently out from behind a beaded curtain.
She was tall and slender, with stunning beauty, and every smile and gesture exuded captivating charm.
But what is most striking are the two small, delicate, obsidian-carved horns on either side of her smooth forehead.
This... is not human.
"Hello." Chen You composed himself and tried to make his tone sound calm.
The woman stopped three steps away from him, bowed slightly, and performed a graceful and precise bow, as if she had been measured with a ruler.
"I am Hill, the receptionist of the Supreme Tower. Your new adventurer has been detected, and I am hereby granting you access to the guidance service."
"Supreme Tower? What's this place for?" Chen You asked, voicing his doubts.
Hill wore a professional smile, her voice still sweet.
"The VIP Lounge is an exclusive venue for distinguished guests like yourself, offering comprehensive privileged services."
She waved her hand gently.
A ripple spread through the space in front of Chen You, and a more gorgeous and cool system interface, completely different from what he usually saw, unfolded out of thin air.
At the top of the interface are three large, elegant characters: 【Supreme Member】.
Chen You's pupils contracted slightly.
Goodness, after all that, it's a VIP system!
No wonder I couldn't find the VIP recharge option even after searching the entire game menu.
It turns out to be a physical store, and they even had someone to guide you!
This service is indeed "supreme".
"Membership is divided into three levels." Hill's voice was precise and clear, like a tour guide's.
"Regular members, premium members, and VIP members."
"All membership levels will immediately unlock a number of convenient features."
"For example, automatic pathfinding for tasks, blocking unwanted messages from other players, increased backpack space, and a daily exclusive lucky draw."
When Chen You heard "block male harassment", he was stunned for a moment.
"GG? I've never seen that before."
Hill's smile remained unchanged.
"We are currently actively recruiting members for our GG slots. Becoming a member will allow you to prepare for any potential problems you may encounter in the future."
Chen You: "..."
Goodness, GG hasn't even been brought in yet, and they're already selling GG's privileges.
This way of eating is truly ahead of its time, more than one version ahead of its time.
He suppressed his urge to complain and focused his attention on the most crucial functions.
What's in the daily lottery?
"Good question." A hint of approval flashed in Hill's eyes. "That's precisely the core difference between the three membership levels."
She waved her hand again, and the content on the screen changed accordingly, revealing three huge roulette wheels with different styles.
"Regular members can win up to [Mystic] level items in the daily lottery pool."
"Premium members enjoy an increased prize pool, with the highest reward being [Earth] level items."
"And for VIP members..." Hill's voice carried a hint of seduction.
"You will have the chance to directly draw a [Heavenly]-level treasure—powerful enough to change your destiny—from the daily lucky wheel!"
Heavenly level!
Chen You's heart skipped a beat.
His cultivation technique, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique, is at the Heavenly Rank!
It cost nearly 100 million to buy that!
Now, a member can actually win a treasure of the same level in a lucky draw?
His breathing became rapid.
Li Guoan's serious face and his admonition to "open up one's perspective" resurfaced in his mind.
Become stronger! Become stronger at all costs!
This membership is a must-buy!
Without hesitation, he stared intently at Hill: "How do we proceed?"
Seeing how cooperative Chen You was, Hill's smile became even more sincere, and his obsidian-like horns seemed to shine even brighter in the light.
"Membership is based on a monthly subscription model."
"Regular members receive 100 gold coins per month."
"Premium Membership: 500 Gold Coins per Month"
"VIP Member..."
She paused, then uttered a number that made Chen You's eyelids twitch wildly.
"1000 gold coins per month."
hiss--
Chen You gasped.
1000 gold coins!
At a ratio of 1 to 1,000,000, that's... 1 billion Chinese Yuan!
One month!
Even with his immense wealth, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
A billion a month, that's not just burning money, it's like printing money!
Hill accurately captured the momentary stiffness on his face.
She assumed the young man in front of her was intimidated by the price.
This is normal. Let alone a novice, even top adventurers who have been in the Origin Realm for many years would have to consider their entire fortune when they hear this price.
"Distinguished guests, value determines price."
Hill's voice carried a mysterious, guiding quality.
Instead of directly offering advice, she gracefully waved her arm again.
"Perhaps I should let you see for yourself what's in the [Heavenly] level prize pool."
The voice just fell.
On the obsidian floor in the center of the hall, light flowed, and three lifelike light and shadow figures appeared out of thin air.
The first ray of light and shadow was a magnificent and extraordinary beast.
It resembles a Qilin, its entire body covered in blue scales, and purple lightning burning beneath its four hooves.
An aura of supreme authority swept over him, making Chen You feel his very soul tremble.
[Mount: Thunderous Qilin (Heavenly Rank)]
[Effect: Movement speed +500%, comes with a lightning field that inflicts continuous paralysis and damage on all hostile targets within the field.]
Chen You's eyes instantly turned red.
If we could get our hands on this thing, why would we need to do any missions?
You can ride it straight into a monster horde and rampage through it, killing monsters even if you just stand still!
His gaze shifted to the second beam of light.
It was a long sword with an ancient design, its blade narrow and long, displaying a deep, dark gold color.
It floated there quietly, while the surrounding space visibly distorted like water ripples.
[Weapon: Void Slayer (Heavenly Rank)]
[Special Effect: Ignores 50% of the target's defense. There is a certain chance to trigger 'Spatial Tear' upon attack, dealing multiple times the critical damage.]
Chen You's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The beginner's iron sword he had just acquired through the first recharge suddenly seemed less appealing.
This sword, named "Zhan Xu," is so powerful that just looking at its attributes is enough to send a novice iron sword user to the brink of oblivion.
This is the real divine weapon!
Finally, his gaze fell on the third beam of light.
It was an ancient bamboo scroll, slowly unfurled, with mysterious golden runes floating above it, exuding an aura of profound truths.
It brings a sense of peace at first glance, as if it deepens one's understanding of the world.
[Cultivation Technique: Supreme Path of Forgetfulness (Heavenly Rank)]
[Note: The Path of Ruthlessness, the ultimate cultivation method. Cultivating this method can sever the seven emotions and six desires, achieving a state of perfect tranquility, increasing cultivation speed by 1000%, and granting immunity to all mental control skills.]
Upon seeing this technique, Chen You calmed down.
I wouldn't take this kind of martial arts technique even if it were given to me for free, since it sounds like it would turn me into a eunuch.
But without a doubt, this is also a true celestial treasure!
Mounts, weapons, martial arts techniques...
These are just three items in the prize pool!
Hill watched the changing expressions on Chen You's face, and the corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile.
"Honorable guest, this is only a small portion of the prize pool."
"Once you become a VIP member, they... could all be yours."
Chen You let out a long breath.
There was only one thought in his mind.
One billion...
The sum of money that Director Li just transferred to me was exactly one billion.
This game system seems to have some kind of precognitive ability.
They're after their billion-dollar fortune!
He looked up at Hill, the initial shock on his face gone.
Instead, there was an unprecedented calm and resolve.
"Sounds alright," he said slowly.
Hill smiled, ready to hear his choice; she guessed he might try the regular membership first.
However, Chen You's next words caused her perfectly professional smile to freeze for the first time.
"Give me a VIP membership."
Chen You looked at her, speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice not loud, but conveying an undeniable determination.
"Turn on automatic renewal for me."
