At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Alipay deposited one million yuan!"

Gu Yu was crammed among the crowd, with his second and third brothers watching the cultural performance on stage.

Suddenly, his phone rang with a transfer notification!

The sound wasn't loud but it instantly "overshadowed" the music of the performer on stage.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Gu Yu, even Yu Laoer and Qin Laosan were shocked!

"Damn! A million?"

Yu Laoer stared with wide eyes, looking warily around him and asked in a hushed voice.

Gu Yu didn't reply, just chuckled while looking at the people around him, "Hehe, just a prank ringtone for my phone!"

After hearing this, the onlookers nodded with understanding and turned back to continue watching the show.

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled Yu Shutong and Qin Shan out of the crowd.

Seeing that no one paid attention to them, Gu Yu then opened Alipay on his phone.

Sure enough, there was an additional million yuan in his YuLibao account!

The transfer was from Chen Tian.

It was Old Mr. Chen who had transferred the money!

He opened Fetion, just about to inquire with Mr. Chen Tian when he promptly received a message from the old gentleman himself.

Chen Tian, "Yu, this is the reward for the five antiques you helped me acquire at the auction last night! Keep it safe!"

Gu Yu replied in a hurry, "Isn't this too much? A million is not a small sum! Mr. Chen, I can't accept this! Perhaps I should return it to you?"

Chen Tian, "Not at all! The five antiques you picked are all genuine and you got them for a steal. You saved at least ten million! One million is really not much, just keep it!"

Chen Tian, "Think of it as my commission for you helping me appraise the antiques! If you refuse again, you'll be offending this old man!"

Reading Chen Tian's messages, Gu Yu pondered for two seconds and ultimately decided to accept it.

Gu Yu, "Alright, I'll keep it then. Just call on me if there's anything like this in the future."

The old man was right; it was he who found the bargains.

And to Old Mr. Chen, a million wasn't much. Indeed, if he had declined, it would have been a slight to the old man's dignity.

Chen Tian, "That's more like it! No need for formalities between us! Once I'm out of the hospital, we'll play games again!"

Gu Yu looked at the old man's message and smiled slightly. This old man really had no airs about him! Find endless stories on m_vl_em_p_yr

He seemed quite the mischievous old child.

"Let's go for grilled sausages! It's my treat!"

Gu Yu let out a he-he and then the three of them went off to the school supermarket, arms around each other's shoulders.

...

Elsewhere, in the inpatient department of Haidong University Medical College Affiliated Hospital.

"Damn! Didn't make it to a hundred years old again!"

Pu Tongren gritted his teeth as he looked at his phone screen.

He was testing the Life Restart Simulator that Yu Laoer had sent to him, with the method of testing being to repeatedly play the game and look for bugs.

It must be said that Yu Laoer's coding skills were truly impressive, except for a few UI icons occasionally freezing, the game ran smoothly throughout.

The game was great, but the plot was downright maddening.

After refreshing the page, he started his tenth test.

In the initial ten-draw, the following were his talents:

[Gifted (Starting attribute points +2)]

[Rich Second Generation (Intelligence +1, Constitution +2, Charm +1, Family Background +5)]

[Grow Old Together (You and your spouse will live to at least 70 years old)]

[Ten Deaths Without Life (Constitution -10)]

[Carrying Jade (Maybe it has a protective function)]

[Merciful Heart (You might reward evil with good)]

[Heavenly Opportunity (Perhaps hides some secrets)]

[Hundred-year-old Pill (You will certainly live to a hundred years)]

[Extraordinary Fortune (You have good luck)]

[Jilted (Become motivated to improve yourself three years after a broken engagement)]

Please select three talents!

Pu Tongren carefully thought it over and chose [Heavenly Opportunity], as that talent sometimes allowed one to begin practicing cultivation!

Then he picked [Rich Second Generation] to bring all the initial stats up, making for a more stable start.

And finally, he chose [Carrying Jade], to ensure his own survival!

After selecting the talents, he evenly distributed the initial 20 attribute points among Charm, Intelligence, Constitution, and Family Background, four points to each attribute.

But just as he clicked [Start New Life Immediately!], he realized he had clicked incorrectly!

The talent [Carrying Jade] in the selection bar below had somehow changed to [Merciful Heart]!!

"Damn it!"

He slapped his thigh in frustration but decided to enter the game anyway.

...

Looking at the final outcome, Pu Tongren's face turned an iron blue.

He really wanted to crack open Qin Shan's skull to see just how his brain was wired.

The beginning of the story was a melodramatic switch at birth, then it evolved into a tragic love story, only for the ending to be so abrupt!

This damn—!

What kind of unscrupulous game is this?!

Can this game really break the hundred-year-old limit?

He had no desire to play another round, leaning against the bedhead with a face full of desolation.

Next to him, Chen Tian, watching his expression, couldn't help but be curious.

"What's wrong? Pu, why such a long face? What game were you playing? Let me try it!"

Old Mr. Chen stretched his neck trying to see the game interface but only saw a bunch of text.

Pu Tongren turned his head and glanced at the IV drip hanging next to Old Mr. Chen, fearing that if he let the old man play this game, he might just pass away on the spot!

But he couldn't withstand the old man's persistent urging.

"Alright, I'll let you play after your IV is done! But I'm telling you now, no matter what happens in the game, you have to stay calm!"

Pu Tongren warned Old Mr. Chen earnestly as a precaution.

"Hey! Are you underestimating me? Your brother Chen has lived through much in his life. What haven't I seen? Just send me the game!"

Old Mr. Chen patted his chest with his right hand, speaking with disdain.

A text game, huh? How could it possibly anger him to death?

After half an hour, a nurse took away the empty medicine bottle, and Pu Tongren finally forwarded the game link to Old Mr. Chen, who had been restless to start playing.

The game's beginning was quite simple, and Old Mr. Chen quickly got the hang of it.

He chose his talents and attribute points and entered the game.

Ten minutes later...

A sudden bellow of rage sounded from the ward.

"Damn it! Magic girls selling nuclear bombs? Which bastard came up with this depraved plot?!"
