NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Eight-Star Hotel
Lin Dong was still contemplating the authenticity of the so-called Super Rich System while he was in the school clinic. The door to the clinic, where he was lying, opened.
A woman in her thirties, dressed in a white medical uniform and exuding charm, walked in. She was the school clinic doctor, named Chen Xuan. At thirty-two, she had been married for a few years, had no children, and her husband owned a small company. However, rumors circulated about her troubled marriage, and she was currently going through a divorce. It was said that her husband had tried to use her to strike a deal with a big company, asking her to accompany a potential business partner, spike her drink, and spend a night with the executive. However, she had discovered the plan early, escaped during a restroom break, and had been living at the school ever since, pursuing a legal battle for divorce.
“Dear student, you can leave once you’re awake. When you get back, remember to eat more nourishing food to replenish your blood and energy. Your health is quite poor; continuing like this isn’t advisable. Keep a positive outlook, and don’t let everything upset your mind,” advised Dr. Chen, looking at Lin Dong, who had just opened his eyes lying on the bed.
“Thank you, Dr. Chen. I understand,” Lin Dong replied, getting up unsteadily from the bed. He still felt a bit dizzy.
“Ah, are all students so infatuated these days?” sighed Chen Xuan. She then thought of her own husband. Back in college, they had been deeply in love. However, last month, he had secretly drugged her for the sake of the company’s development, and the things he did were unimaginable if she hadn’t discovered them early. Even now, she couldn’t understand why he would do such a thing.
Walking around the school, many students noticed Lin Dong and started gossiping. He had become famous in just half a day at Jiangnan University, thanks to Huang Junlang’s deliberate promotion.
However, Lin Dong wasn’t concerned about all this. Leaving the campus, he felt a bit thirsty and approached a self-service water dispenser nearby to buy a bottle of mineral water.
When it was time to pay, Lin Dong instinctively wanted to use the balance in his phone. However, he remembered the recently bound Super Rich System and decided to test its authenticity. He chose fingerprint payment.
“Ding…” “Super Rich System successfully paid three yuan.”
The self-service water dispenser released a bottle of mineral water.
“Really?” Lin Dong muttered to himself, holding the mineral water. Then, he looked at the information on the display.
Host: Lin Dong Balance: 9999999999999997
Constitution: 15 (Weak)
Spirit: 28 (Normal)
Skills: Can freely add skills, requires spending Rich Points
Rich Points: 0
“Hahaha…” Lin Dong suddenly burst into laughter. The Super Rich System was indeed real. This meant that from now on, he would be wealthier than anyone in the world. The world’s richest person was nothing. Forbes ranking was nothing. None of them could compare to him. From now on, Lin Dong was going to live a different life. The past twenty years were too stifling. In the coming decades, he would live brilliantly, freely, and gracefully. Anyone who looked down on him would be slapped back hard.
After calming down, Lin Dong arrived at a high-end eight-star hotel near the school called Golden Leaf Hotel. He was starving.
This hotel was the most luxurious in Jiangnan Province and also the most expensive. Lin Dong and Jiang Shan had passed by it once, and Jiang Shan had expressed her dream of having a meal inside.
“Sir, may I help you?” A tall and fair-skinned female attendant came forward as Lin Dong entered.
“Eat!” Lin Dong replied.
“How many in your party?” The attendant politely inquired.
“Just me.”
“Then, sir, please follow me.” The attendant made a gesture to lead the way.
Lin Dong initially thought the attendant would take him directly to the dining area, but she led him to the front desk.
“Sir, do you have a membership card?” Another attendant at the front desk asked. Several others, almost resembling flight attendants, were standing nearby, all over 1.7 meters tall, fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs.
“No,” Lin Dong replied.
“Sir, I’m sorry. The food here is high-end, all imported from abroad, and anything not consumed on the same day is discarded. This ensures absolute freshness. Therefore, the prices are significantly higher than outside. If you don’t have a membership card, a deposit is required for dining,” explained the front desk attendant.
“How can I get a membership card?” Lin Dong inquired.
“Sir, our hotel offers membership cards. Recharging one million makes you a regular member, two million for a premium member, and five million for a VIP.”
“Then, give me one as well.”
“Sir, may I ask how much you’d like to recharge?”
“Start with a hundred million.”
“Sir… how much did you say? I didn’t hear clearly.”
“I said, recharge me with a hundred million.”
“Sir, are you sure?”
“Sure.”
“Sir, please wait a moment. Our manager will be right here.”
The attendant then took out a walkie-talkie and announced, “Is Manager Zhao available? Please come to the lobby.”
She probably thought Lin Dong was causing trouble. Despite not looking like someone who could afford to recharge a hundred million for a membership card, she decided to call the manager over just in case.
“Received.” A crisp voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Shortly after, a woman in her twenties, dressed in a black professional suit, walked over. This woman seemed to surpass the other attendants in all aspects, indicating she was the manager.
“What’s the matter?” The manager asked as she reached the front desk.
The attendant who had spoken with Lin Dong earlier whispered a few words to the manager.
“Sir, may I confirm if you want to recharge a hundred million for a membership card?” The beautiful manager asked Lin Dong.
“Yes,” Lin Dong replied.
“Are you sure you want to recharge a hundred million?”
“Yes.”
“Sir, which bank would you like to use for payment?”
“Any will do.”
“And the payment method?”
“Fingerprint.”
“Alright, sir. Please check the amount, then press confirm, and place your finger here.”
The beautiful manager turned the computer towards Lin Dong to let him verify the amount. Lin Dong glanced at it, indeed a hundred million. He pressed confirm, then placed his finger on the fingerprint scanner.
Three seconds later, a mechanical voice from the front desk echoed, “Transaction completed… One hundred million received.”
In that moment, all seven tall and graceful attendants, including the manager, inhaled sharply. The disdainful look they had towards Lin Dong a moment ago turned into admiration. They almost wished they could devour him.
