In the province of Jiangnan, in the city of Xiang, David Lee was leisurely riding his bicycle down the street, wearing sunglasses and whistling, he glanced at the girls in the crowd. It was summer and the girls were dressed lightly, making David feel a tickle of excitement.
David, an eighteen-year-old high school student at Xiang City High, stood at 5'7" with a straightforward personality. Despite his outgoing nature, he was still a virgin in today's world. His grades were poor, ranking at the bottom of his class of fifty students. He enjoyed watching movies by a certain famous actress and occasionally indulged in fantasies. He loved beautiful women, especially now, as he rode his bike through the streets filled with them, his eyes lighting up as he observed their legs and chests.
As he turned a corner, he spotted a beautiful girl, it was none other than Tina, the class beauty. She wore a white short-sleeved top with a hint of black underneath and a pair of white denim shorts that showed off her fair legs. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders. David called out, "Good morning, class president!" Tina turned around at the sound of her name and saw David.
As she looked back, David admired her figure, imagining things he couldn't quite handle, just then, he heard a voice shout, "Watch out!" before he could react, he crashed into a lamppost. The bike was fine, but he had a few scrapes, as he was about to get up, the lamppost suddenly fell and he heard a voice: "Super Rich Tech System successfully bound. Host identity confirmed: a pure virgin and then... nothing, as David passed out.
When he finally came to, he found himself in a hospital room. "Ah, my head hurts," he thought, regretting his distraction by the girls. A nurse walked in and seeing him awake, asked, "You're awake. Are you okay?"
David replied, "I'm fine, just a bit of a headache." The nurse reassured him, "it's nothing serious, just a mild concussion, you'll be fine. You can leave after a check-up."
Ding! A notification popped up: "Real-world task: You have three hours until noon, spend a million now, success will activate the Rich System and reward you with a Memory Pill (enhances memory). Failure: If you can't even spend this much, why live? Failure means being struck by lightning, eating dirt and becoming an idiot for three days."
David was startled by the rewards and penalties, with two hours and fifty-five minutes left, the system urged him to act quickly, disclaiming responsibility for failure. He quickly checked his phone—two hours and fifty minutes until noon, he dashed out of the hospital room, completed his discharge paperwork and hailed a taxi to the shopping mall.
In just over ten minutes, David arrived at Haiyun Mall, the largest in Xiang City. Despite being a third-tier city, Haiyun Mall was known for its high-end shopping, he handed the driver a wad of cash, telling him to keep the change and sprinted into the mall. The driver, surprised, counted the bills one by one, finding over a hundred dollars. He grinned from ear to ear.
Once David entered the shopping mall, he immediately asked the system, "where's my money?" The system's mechanical voice replied, "The money has already been transferred to your bank account, you were in such a rush earlier that you didn't even check your phone notifications. I must say, David, you're quite the clueless guy...".
