CHAPTER 11
The following morning, Lucas was finishing breakfast when a gentle knock sounded at his hospital room door.“Come in.”A neatly dressed man entered, carrying a slim folder. He appeared to be in his early thirties, with polished shoes, a composed expression, and a professional bearing.“Good morning, Mr. Bennett. My name is Adrian Cole. I've been assigned as your personal caretaker during your remaining stay at the hospital. I'll be available whenever you need assistance, while ensuring that you have sufficient privacy.”Lucas studied him briefly before nodding.“Good morning, Adrian. I hope you understand that I don't need someone following me around all day.”“Of course, sir. My responsibility is to make your stay more comfortable, not to make you feel crowded. I'll attend to your requests and remain available when needed. Otherwise, I'll give you space.”“Good. I think we'll get along.”Adrian confirmed Lucas's preferences, explained how to contact him, and asked whether he needed a

[MISSION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.]Lucas stared at the notification, and before he could say anything, the system screen transformed. A series of new messages appeared, each one more exciting than the last.[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully completed your first mission and exceeded the required expenditure. Your designated rewards have now been issued.][Reward One: Aurelius Estate.][Reward Two: $1,000 in former-value funds. The funds have been credited to your system account and are available for use.][Property acquisition and ownership transfer have been completed successfully. Aurelius Estate is now legally registered in your name, including the designated buildings, furnishings, collections, and associated facilities. All required ownership documents have been settled.]Lucas slowly sat up.“Wait. It's already mine?”[Affirmative, Host. The ownership transfer is complete. No further payment or auction procedure is required.]For several seconds, Lucas simply stared at

Lucas leaned back against the pillows, scrolling through his old phone. A crack ran across one corner of the screen, and the battery seemed determined to die at the worst possible moment.He stared at it for a while before shaking his head.“If I'm going to start a new life, I might as well start properly. This phone has suffered enough, and so have I.”The system screen appeared before him.[Host, your current mission expenditure stands at $731,000. You have $269,000 remaining to reach the required expenditure of $1,000,000. The mission deadline remains active.]Lucas nodded, then remembered something he had been meaning to ask.“System, what happens if I spend more than the required amount? Will the mission be cancelled?”[No, Host. You are required to spend at least $1,000,000 from your designated bank account before the deadline. Exceeding that amount will not invalidate the mission. Once the qualifying expenditure reaches the required threshold, the mission conditions will be sat
CHAPTER 8
Lucas's stomach growled so loudly that he winced.He had been unconscious for an entire week, and throughout that time, infusions had kept him alive. Although the doctors had assured him that his condition was stable, nobody had yet given him the kind of meal he was desperately craving. Now that he had a luxurious private suite and money to spend, he was determined to change that.He pressed the call button beside his bed.A few minutes later, a professionally dressed woman entered the room with a pleasant smile.“Good morning, Mr. Bennett. I'm Clara, the private ward concierge assigned to assist you with your non-medical requests. How may I help you?”“I'm hungry,” Lucas admitted. “Terribly hungry, actually. I want a proper meal, something nutritious, delicious, and filling. Could you recommend a few dishes?”“Certainly, sir. We work with several premium restaurants, including a four-star establishment that offers private-ward dining services. I can arrange a menu for you and coordin
CHAPTER 7
Lucas stared at the mission displayed before him.[Mission: Spend $1,000,000 from your original bank account within 24 hours.][Time Remaining: 23 hours, 41 minutes.]He had already decided what he wanted to do first. After everything he had endured, he deserved to enjoy some comfort for once. If he had the money, why should he continue lying in an ordinary hospital room?“System, what is the highest accommodation level this hospital offers?”[The hospital's highest accommodation category is the Presidential Private Ward. It provides a luxury patient suite, dedicated medical personnel, premium dining arrangements, and additional personal services. The cost for a seven-day stay is $700,000, payable in advance.]Lucas's eyebrows rose. Seven hundred thousand dollars for a week? The price was outrageous, but he had no intention of spending the next several days regretting that he hadn't treated himself better.“Arrange the upgrade for me.”[The system cannot independently make personal ac
CHAPTER 6
Lucas was still admiring the balance in his bank account when the system screen changed.[Host, your first official mission is ready.]He immediately straightened in bed.“Finally. I was beginning to think you planned to keep me here admiring my money all day.”[MISSION ISSUED: THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GREATNESS][Objective: Spend $1,000,000 from your original bank account within 24 hours.][Time limit: 24 hours.][Mission reward: One exclusive luxury mansion and an additional $1,000 in former-value funds.]Lucas stared at the screen.Then he read it again.“Spend one million dollars?”[Correct.]“In twenty-four hours?”[Correct.]He let out a disbelieving laugh.“You do realize I woke up in a hospital bed, don't you? I have no house, no business, and no money in my account apart from the reward you just gave me. Where exactly am I supposed to get a million dollars?”[Your transferred reward has already been converted into the current monetary scale. The mission requires you to spend one
