C4 Sgrade Mission

"Yang Yu, seeing you so pitiful, I'll let you off just this once. Kneil and bow your head to me three times, and I'll lend you two million," Kung Tianhua said with an icy tone.

The Super Rich System was cleverly designed. In essence, the more money you spent, the greater the rewards you'd receive.

Kung Tianhua, however, had discovered a loophole within the system. A two-million loan would net him two hundred system coins, but this money wasn't being spent—it was being lent out.

Eventually, the borrower would have to repay the loan with interest. This meant that Kung Tianhua wasn't just avoiding spending money; he was actually making a profit, and on top of that, he could trigger system rewards.

He wasn't sure why the Super Rich System had this loophole, but he had certainly capitalized on it, earning a substantial number of system coins.

When he saw that the main mission was a loan task, Kung Tianhua could hardly contain his glee.

And there was no need to worry about the borrower defaulting on the loan. The Super Rich System had a forceful execution option, allowing it to take everything the borrower owned as collateral. This wasn't limited to tangible assets; it could include intangibles like loyalty and love, or even labor.

Kung Tianhua's bodyguards, all former special forces, were a testament to this. They had pledged their labor as collateral and were now required to work for Kung Tianhua for ten years to settle their debts.

Kung Tianhua could have simply lent the money to Yang Yu, but that wouldn't fit the flamboyant persona of a system host. He was determined to flaunt his power, to humiliate Yang Yu until he was begging, and only then would he extend the loan.

After all, he had four hours to kill. There was no need to rush the fun.

"I... I... I just can't go on..." Yang Yu groaned, channeling his favorite soap opera character to feign a near-death state.

Yang Yu gave it his all, but his lackluster acting skills meant that he could only deceive Kung Tianhua, not anyone else.

Once the System Devastator was activated, Yang Yu's physical condition had significantly improved. Despite his serious injuries, they were not life-threatening.

"Oh right, he's injured. So, I..." Kung Tianhua hadn't finished his grandstanding monologue when he realized he couldn't just let Yang Yu die. Without hesitation, he purchased a healing pill from the Super Rich System's shop and popped it into Yang Yu's mouth, "Can't help being kind-hearted, can I? Let me take care of those wounds for you!"

A single healing pill cost 100 system coins, but Kung Tianhua was about to receive 6,000 system coins, so this minor investment didn't bother him in the slightest.

Worst case scenario, he'd loan Yang Yu an extra million later. For him, system coins were plentiful.

Usually, such generosity from Kung Tianhua would have had Yang Yu groveling with gratitude. But not today.

"Ptui!" Yang Yu spat out the healing pill, hitting Kung Tianhua squarely in the face.

With the powers of the System Devastator now at his command, Yang Yu's abilities were well beyond those of an average person. A simple spit from him had the force of a slingshot, and the impact left Kung Tianhua's face stinging fiercely.

"Ouch!" Kung Tianhua clutched his face, hastily backing away from Yang Yu.

And the healing pill from the Super Rich System's shop? It was lost to the ether.

"That little ingrate, he doesn't know what's good for him. I'll finish him off!" The bodyguard known as Third Brother was livid, ready to deliver a few more slashes to Yang Yu. Already resigned to a murder charge and promised 100,000 yuan a month by Kung Tianhua, Third Brother was eager to extend his stay in prison to pad his pockets.

After all, the sentence for premeditated murder was far more severe than for manslaughter, and Third Brother wasn't about to pass up this lucrative opportunity.

"No, don't kill him, please don't!" Lyu Huan, Yang Yu's mother, cried out in desperation, but the bodyguards had her restrained. Despite her frantic struggles, it was futile.

"If you're courting death, there's nothing to be done. Young people are just too reckless!" Deputy Director Zhou continued to play the good Samaritan, though a smirk betrayed his true feelings.

"It's his own doing; he's got it coming!" The onlookers had the air of spectators at a spectacle, yet not a single one stepped forward to intervene.

Just when everyone assumed Yang Yu was a goner, a shadowy figure sent the bodyguard known as Third Brother flying with a swift kick.

"Damn it, I can't kill him!" Kung Tianhua, empowered by the Super Rich System, might not have the power to instantly obliterate everything, but he was far superior to the average person.

His kick, devoid of any martial arts finesse, was nonetheless impressively powerful.

Third Brother, despite his robust build, was no match for the full force of the System's Host.

The impact sent him hurtling through the air, crashing into the wall before collapsing to the ground.

The crowd rushed to check on him, finding Third Brother unconscious with his chest grotesquely deformed and at least three ribs broken.

"Director Gong..." The onlookers were stunned. Was this the same Director Gong they knew?

"That... I can't let him get off so easily by dying." Kung Tianhua quickly justified his actions and pulled out a healing pill. "Yang Yu, just admit defeat, and I'll let you have this pill. It'll ensure your survival!"

"Director Gong, I've already surrendered. But I don't want to live, don't bother saving me!" Yang Yu's voice was halting as he maintained his melodramatic act.

"Not wanting to live..." Kung Tianhua's mouth twitched involuntarily, his mind racing, "How can he not live? I still have to lend him money."

In his urgency, Kung Tianhua couldn't come up with a better argument and resorted to forcibly feeding the pill to Yang Yu.

As everyone watched in shock, Yang Yu spat out the healing pill once more. This time, however, Kung Tianhua was quick enough to evade the projectile.

"You've wasted two healing pills!" Kung Tianhua lamented the loss, feeling a pang of regret. System coins might be easy to come by in the Super Rich System, but they were just as easily spent. Now, he was down to his last four thousand.

"Are you sure you don't want to be saved? I really don't want to live!" Yang Yu persisted.

"Why wouldn't you want to live?"

"Living on would only bring more humiliation from you. I'd rather die!" Yang Yu said, his face brazenly beaming.

Kung Tianhua was left speechless for quite some time.

He had fully intended to keep humiliating Yang Yu, but to his surprise, Yang Yu had already figured it out and, worse, no longer wished to live.

There was only one target for his mission. If Yang Yu died, the mission would be a failure, and the consequences of such a failure...

It was only then that Kung Tianhua remembered that there were always penalties for failed missions.

But because the Super Rich System's rules were so peculiar, with no one able to refuse his money, Kung Tianhua had never really thought about the repercussions of mission failure.

"If I fail the mission, I'll be docked six thousand system coins. If my balance goes negative, what happens then? System, I need an explanation!" Kung Tianhua urgently inquired within his mind.

"Negative system coins will lead to the collapse of the Super Rich System and the elimination of the host!" responded the Super Rich System.

Upon hearing this, Kung Tianhua was distraught. He had gained such an incredible system and hadn't even had the chance to revel in the thrill of its power. He couldn't just die in confusion.

After all, this was the Super Rich System. As previously described by the system itself, it spanned over ten thousand worlds, with Earth being a mere speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.

In comparison to Earth, Spalding City was just a tiny spot.

Kung Tianhua hadn't even ventured beyond Spalding City, much less to other worlds. The Myriad Worlds were nothing but a myth to him, and he couldn't afford to be eradicated at this juncture.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu, having activated the System Devastator, had seen the entire exchange between Kung Tianhua and the Super Rich System through the exclusive skill of system sharing. He was well aware that Kung Tianhua had come to grasp the gravity of the situation.

"Yang Yu, I promise, no more humiliation. Please, take the medicine," Kung Tianhua said, his face dark with seriousness.

"I refuse!" Yang Yu remained resolute. "I've been disgraced beyond measure and have lost all will to live. Just let me die!"

"You..." Kung Tianhua, clutching the new healing medicine in one hand and pointing at Yang Yu with the other, was too furious to find the words.
