Christopher inwardly reminded himself over and over again. Look at you—you look like a country bumpkin! How can you give in to the money and riches? Show them your backbone and tenacity that is unshakeable by poverty and power! You are a man with the Thumbs-Up System! He tried his best to contain the excitement and after scanning the surroundings and not finding any further bids, he was going to agree to Mr. Zach’s bid. However, at that moment, Declan, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and uttered, “Hold on!” After saying that, he seemed conflicted and hesitated for some time before he continued, “I’m willing to pay 800,000!” Eight hundred thousand? Oh, my God! No words could describe Christopher’s feeling at that moment and he almost could not conceal the joy that swelled inside him. The price just keeps getting higher and higher! And now, there is a sudden increase of 100,000? This group of pharmacy owners are really willing to pay for this! As a matter of fact, to Declan, purchasing Christopher’s wild ginseng at 800,000 per gram was not an easy decision to make. Nevertheless, when a pharmacycontinued to grow, it would eventually evolve from a simple business to possessing the quality of an antique business—the need to have a collection of valuable herbs would rise, and this was exactly the case for Declan’s business. Christopher’s wild ginseng was definitely of the finest quality in the recent decade in their country. Consuming it would be a real waste, and preserving and keeping it would be something that a person who really knew the industry well would do. Therefore, it was this reason that drove Declan to be willing to pay such a high price. “Are there any higher bids?” Christopher tried his best to speak in a calm tone so that the owners of the medicinal cuisine restaurants would not realize his unusualness. “If there is none, then we have a deal!” His heart was pounding wildly. Upon seeing that nobody was going to place any further bids, Declan heaved a sigh of relief. Although the process was a little bumpy, he was still able to purchase the wild ginseng in the end. “Everyone, if that’s the case, I shall be keeping the wild ginseng, then.” After calming his excitement, he smiled and saluted the other owners of medicinal cuisine restaurants, and they congratulated him. “Congratulations, Mr. Lloyd!” The sale of the ginseng made both Declan and Christopher glad, and all the latter could think of was the price that Declan had offered. Oh, my goodness; eight hundred thousand per gram! Since the price had been decided, the things that came next were rather simple. Under the witness of all the pharmacy owners, Declan used the most sophisticated electronic scale in his shop to weigh the wild ginseng. It was 55.6 grams and in other words, Declan had to pay Christopher almost 45,000,000 Dollars to purchase it. Even with Declan’s financial ability, it was impossible for him to gather so much money at once, so he discussed it with Christopher and they came to an agreement. Declan would pay 20,000,000 as deposit and the remaining amount of almost 25,000,000 would be paid by installment, with 5 million credited to Christopher’s designated account at regular intervals every month until it was fully repaid. Truth was, Christopher did not mind how Declan was going to pay him the money as long as he received it. After he completed a series of transaction formalities, it was almost noon when he exited Myriad Pharmacy and the first thing he did was to give Samantha a call.“Chris?” Samantha’s sweet voice was heard from the phone. “Samantha, it’s me, your darling! Are you free in the afternoon? Come out if you do. I’ll be waiting for you at Eden Café.” With that, he hung up the call. He transformed from a penniless loser with nothing into a millionaire over the course of one morning, and it still felt like a dream to him. His heart was singing when he became a millionaire, but what made him happier was the amount of thumbs-up points that he was able to convert after he became one. Now that he had 20,000,000 in hand, he would have 200,000 points if he converted all the money into thumbs-up points. Hence, he was able to see what was in the ‘Parallel Universe Kitchen Appliances Pack’, which was worth 100,000 points—it was the cheapest item other than the ‘Strength Bun’, ‘Agility Dumpling’, and ‘Speed Gyoza’ in the Thumbs-up Online Mall, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time. He would definitely redeem this item someday but before that, he decided to reward himself. When he was poor, he had no choice but to spend each and every penny carefully, but he would be insane if he continued to live frugally after becoming rich.Therefore, he decided to bring Samantha along on his extravagant spending trip. When he arrived at the café where he had agreed to meet her, he carefully tasted the coffee that cost 728 per cup to find out its difference from the instant coffee that he usually drank. After a while, a gorgeous young lady in a purple dress appeared at the entrance of the café. Sure enough, Samantha’s appearance stirred up a commotion among the men in the café. It could not be helped as it would be difficult for her to keep a low profile with her stunning looks. Under countless men’s envious gazes, Christopher waved at her. Upon seeing him sitting by the window, she stuck out her tongue in an adorable manner before walking toward him with quick steps. She sat down and surveyed her surroundings before she said to him, “Chris, why are we meeting here?” “You don’t like this place?” he asked. “It’s not that; I just feel that this is an expensive place,” she replied. Her adorable reaction put a smile on his face. This girl really cares for me and she thinks about me all the time. However, this amount of money did not concern him now. “Don’t worry; you don’t need to help me to save money. Speaking of which, Samantha, is there anything that you want to buy? Maybe some clothes, cosmetics, or anything else?” Christopher asked generously. “It’s fine, Chris.” Samantha continued to act like a wife who was trying to save money for her husband as she murmured, “I don’t have anything that I want to buy.” “Don’t worry. Just tell me if you want anything. This is the main reason I asked you out today.” “I’m fine, really.” She continued to reject his offer. A smile spread across Christopher’s face. Knowing that this girl would never tell him what she wanted to buy, he took her hand and led her to a shopping mall not far away. Samantha still looked awkward when they arrived at a clothing store in the mall, so he had no choice but to feign anger to force her into the store. The saleswomen in the store were happy when they saw that they had customers, but upon noticing Christopher and Samantha’s outfit, their happiness was soon replaced by disdain.Although their store was no match to the renowned international luxurious brands, a piece of their clothing still cost thousands. With just a glance, they were able to tell that the man and woman, who had just entered the store, were ordinary people. Instead of wasting their energy on them, they would rather sit back and wait for someone with real buying power to come along. With such thoughts in mind, the group of saleswomen pretended that they were not there despite having customers in the store, and they lowered their heads to play with their phones.
