Chapter 171 - Chapter 171 - 171: Upgrading the Version (2/2)

“Listen, you’ve only got three days to cure this, or you’ll go to hell with these guys if you can’t,”

Chen Yu didn’t say much, just nodded his head, his gaze drifting occasionally towards the departing figure of Bell.

He was certain that this Bell was the target they were meant to capture this time.

Only after the bearded man and his men left did Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. He rushed to a patient, lifting their blanket.

He found that the patient’s body was covered with extensive ulceration.

Although the fungi could destroy the human immune system and reproduce spores on the skin’s surface, they would never cause such severe ulceration.

There was only one explanation for such a condition, these people must have been in a high-radiation environment for a long time.

[Detection of host in a low-level radiation environment, do you require protection?]

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t expected the system to provide him with radiation protection.

“Of course I need it!”

[Magnetic Field Induction Protection initiating, one million points will be deducted from the host’s remaining points]

[Current remaining points are one million six hundred seventy-six thousand six hundred]

“Damn, one million!” Chen Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Although the upgraded system certainly had more practical uses, this seemed to be too much of a scam; he had painstakingly accumulated those points, only managing to earn a couple hundred million a day.

Before he could feel the pain of his loss, the system’s notification sounded again.

[The protection can only last for five hours, afterwards, if continuation is desired, points will be deducted continuously at the rate of one million points per five hours]

Chen Yu felt like cursing. Although his physical condition had reached the human limit, he wasn’t able to perfectly resist radiation.

Moreover, he had no idea how long he would need to stay in this environment.

Didn’t that mean he had to spend a million points every five hours?

[System notification, if the host spends one billion points to upgrade the system to version 3.0, usage of Magnetic Field Induction Protection will be free, and the system can also help the host to treat all the patients here]

Chen Yu could no longer bear it, now he was in pain just spending one million points, where would he get one billion points to upgrade the system?

Moreover, after spending ten million to upgrade the system last time, it had developed some self-awareness.

If he really upgraded it to version 3.0, who knew what would happen?

“Doctor, please save me, I have a wife, children! And elderly parents to care for at home.”

The patient from before suddenly grabbed Chen Yu’s hand, his eyes full of pleading.

The other patients also struggled to sit up, looking at Chen Yu with hopeful eyes.

They were just ordinary people who wanted to leave this place.

Chen Yu was immediately moved by compassion, but he didn’t have a billion points to upgrade the system.

[Congratulations to the host for completing one day of business, today’s expenditure exceeded profits, no points accrued.]

Chen Yu’s face was filled with frustration; it looked like the store was running out of raw materials, and Tong Ya had, as usual, ordered the next week’s materials in one go.

He had thought that after closing for the day, he would have some extra points left over, but he had forgotten about this matter.

However, before he left, he had entrusted the store’s account to Tong Ya, and with her abilities, he had nothing to worry about in terms of the business.

But as he looked at the people lying before him, gasping for breath, he suddenly felt at a loss.
