17: Marrow Cleansing Pill! Can you eat this stuff?

Facing the scamming system, Chen Yang grumbled to himself.

"Unreliable-grade lottery? There's such a setting?"

"Holy crap!"

"To dare to say it so openly, this… how unreliable must it be?"

After thinking for a moment,

for the sake of his own life, Chen Yang had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Start lottery."

"Ding! Lottery complete! Result is empty."

"10 points deducted. Current points remaining: 30 points."

"What?"

"It really is an unreliable piece of junk! Got nothing, and it swallowed 10 of my points."

"This is robbery!"

"Continue lottery?"

Chen Yang gritted his teeth.

"Continue!"

"Ding! Lottery complete!"

"Congratulations! You have received 1 marrow cleansing pill!"

"10 points deducted. Current points remaining: 20 points."

A red pill appeared out of thin air,

rolling onto the bedsheet.

Chen Yang was overjoyed!

After spending 20 points, he finally got lucky like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

He caught one!

He picked up the red pill with his hand; it was round and smooth.

It was the size of a quail egg.

He squeezed it hard, and it was quite firm.

A wave of exotic fragrance wafted into his nose.

"This is the marrow cleansing pill?"

Looking at the bright red pill, Chen Yang hesitated for a long time before daring to put it in his mouth.

This thing was terrifyingly red!

It didn't look like good medicine!

Could it be poison?

Without even an instruction manual, who would dare to eat it randomly?

What's more,

it was something obtained from an unreliable-grade lottery.

Who knew if it was reliable?

But—

when he thought of himself, suffering from a terminal illness and not having long to live,

there was nothing left to fear.

Screw it!

Dying sooner or later, it's all the same death!

"Gulp!"

Chen Yang tilted his head back and swallowed the pill… He waited quietly for thirty seconds, but there was no reaction at all.

"Holy crap!"

"Is it really fake medicine?"

Chen Yang felt a little uneasy!

He clutched his stomach, his face pale.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft pfft!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

...Suddenly.

A series of earth-shattering farts almost tore his pants apart and blasted through them!

Chen Yang was practically scared to pee!

"What's going on?"

The result was—

no pee came out, but he had diarrhea!

His crotch was a sticky, yellowish mess.

An indescribable stench directly assailed his nostrils.

"Damn...it..."

Chen Yang clutched his butt, hopping and jumping, and rushed into the bathroom.

"Whoosh!"

"Pitter-patter!"

A barrage of explosions!

The air was filled with a thick, unbearable stench.

Chen Yang couldn't stand it and stuffed paper balls into his nostrils.

It was a makeshift filter; the purification effect was better than nothing.

After he finished relieving himself,

Chen Yang rushed under the shower in a hurry.

He showered for a full hour

before finally washing off all the grime from his body.

Stepping out of the bathroom,

wearing clean clothes,

Chen Yang felt refreshed and light all over.

"This marrow cleansing pill is truly amazing!"

He swung his fists a few times, feeling full of energy and much stronger.

He could honestly say,

at this moment,

he was confident he could take on three.

Don't get the wrong idea, they were all burly men.

Moreover,

Chen Yang felt that his clothes were a bit tight and had become smaller.

He measured his height.

It had shot up from the original 1.75m to 1.82m.

He lifted his clothes to look.

"Holy crap!"

His muscles were well-defined and his lines were smooth.

His first feeling was one of immense power, like a dragon and a tiger.

He didn't even know when he had gained eight-pack abs.

Even more incredible was that

his originally slightly dark skin had become smooth, fair, tough, and elastic.

It was strong, yet not coarse.

His overall demeanor

had transformed from delicate and thin to tall, handsome, and sunny.

He secretly glanced at his other parts.

A significant upgrade.

Uh—

it was a bit tight; it was time to change to a larger size of underwear.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Yang preened in front of the mirror.

His confidence was soaring!

"Now, if I walk into a crowd, wouldn't I stand out like a crane among chickens?"

What made him happiest was that—

his bone cancer had disappeared.

Now, he was completely reborn, inside and out.

The threat of death was gone.

The gloom that had weighed on his heart was swept away.

He saw vitality in everything, and there was a great joy from deep within his heart!

After a long while,

Chen Yang finally calmed his emotions.

Life was no longer short.

Chen Yang had many new expectations for the future.

Looking back, he also had many regrets.

Especially concerning relationships.

The reason his love life had been a blank slate for over twenty years

was not that he didn't want to date, but because of two emotional knots.

They had hurt him deeply.

One day in the future, he had to find an opportunity to untie these two knots.

However,

before that, he still had to focus on making money.

Without money, let alone untying emotional knots,

he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand before them.

After all,

they were all great beauties, campus belles and company flowers.

Chen Yang didn't want to repeat the past.

To be trampled underfoot again, enduring humiliation and losing all dignity.

Wealth and power are a man's capital.

Power was not something he had for now.

As for wealth,

for Chen Yang, as long as he worked hard, there was still much he could achieve.

Go for the money!

Only for a man's dignity!

Looking at the time, it was already past 12 AM.

"Check today's intelligence."

"Ding! Today's intelligence refreshed!"

"Intelligence 1: Lilac slipped and scraped her skin while walking today."

"Intelligence 2: Bai Yuyan has been exhausted for days, and combined with her period, she is feeling very unwell."

"Intelligence 3: Gao Fei was shot and killed during an arrest. 300,000 in cash is buried in the dense woods of a park near his residence, unknown to anyone."

Instantly,

Chen Yang was drawn to the third piece of intelligence.

300,000?

This was not a small sum!

A windfall!

It must be said,

the allure of money is irresistible!

He quickly clicked on the third piece of intelligence to view the details.

In the scene,

Gao Fei was as cunning as a fox, outwitting and battling the operatives during the arrest.

A fierce gunfight ensued.

One operative was shot and, before dying, accidentally killed Gao Fei.

The scene shifted.

Near Gao Fei's residence, there was a park.

In a dense patch of woods, there was a crooked-necked tree, and a black leather bag was buried beneath it.

Chen Yang's sleepiness vanished.

He suddenly got up, got out of bed, and put on his clothes.

At this time, who could still sleep?

It was a dark and windy night, perfect for picking up money and digging for treasure.

He put on a black backpack and a black jacket.

He walked twelve li

and crept into the park's small woods.

"Who's there?"

A startled cry rang out in the dark night.

It was Chen Yang's sudden appearance that had startled a pair of wild lovers in the woods.

It must be said that after taking the marrow cleansing pill, even his eyesight had greatly improved.

In a hurry,

a flash of pure white streaked by.

The wild lovers fled in panic.

Chen Yang was also startled.

After all, this was treasure hunting, stolen money, and he couldn't let anyone see it.

Following the intelligence's guidance,

Chen Yang found the crooked-necked tree.

He pulled out a pre-prepared entrenching tool.

Clang, clang!

In the small forest, he dug and dug and dug.

Planting small hopes, blooming small flowers.

In the big forest, he dug and dug and dug.

Planting big hopes, blooming big flowers... Sure enough.

A black leather bag emerged from the soil.

Chen Yang dug out the bag and unzipped it.

Bundles and bundles of hundred-yuan bills appeared before his eyes.

"Holy crap!"

"There really is money!"

He quickly scanned left and right; the surroundings were pitch black.

Not a single person was in sight.

Chen Yang quickly transferred all the hundred-yuan bills into his black backpack.

The original black leather bag was reburied in the soil.

He filled the hole and covered it with dirt, restoring it to its original appearance.

Carrying a bag of money, Chen Yang excitedly rushed back to his rented room.

"Ding!"

"You have gained 10 points. Current total points: 30 points. Keep up the good work!"

Points in hand.

He then tallied his total assets.

It was a full 1.25 million.

A bona fide millionaire!

Chen Yang swung his fist.

"Work hard to make money!"

"Next step, buy a house and a car."

"I'm sick of this crappy rented room!"

Lying back down on the bed,

Chen Yang casually sent a message to Lilac.

"Beautiful Lilac, when you go out today, wear reliable shoes to prevent slipping!"

After sending the message, Chen Yang felt a little regretful.

This sentence

sounded a bit inappropriate!

Like he was cursing her to have bad luck!

He wanted to recall it, but it was too late.

Forget it, let her think whatever she wants!

Who cares about her!
