Lying comfortably on the massive king-sized bed inside his luxurious villa, Lucas casually scrolled through the messages on his phone. The room was quiet, with only the soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminating the space. After such a long and exhausting day, he finally had a moment to relax.

As he opened his messages, he noticed several unread texts from Mia.

"Lucas, thank you for gifting me."

"Lucas, why aren’t you replying to my messages? Are you angry?"

"Lucas, please reply to my message, okay?"

Seeing the messages lined up one after another, Lucas couldn’t help but smile.

Mia was one of the most beautiful girls at Ashford University. Countless men tried to get her attention every day, flooding her inbox with compliments and greetings. Yet here she was, repeatedly messaging him first and even worrying that he might be upset with her.

At that moment, Lucas finally understood something.

No matter how beautiful a woman was, no matter how high she stood on the pedestal others placed her on, once a man became outstanding enough, the roles naturally reversed.

Instead of men chasing women, women would begin chasing him.

After thinking for a moment, Lucas typed out a reply.

"Mia, I just saw your messages. I came back home today. I’ll come find you in a couple of days when I return."

The message had barely been sent when his phone vibrated almost instantly.

"Got it. Good night, Lucas!"

Lucas raised an eyebrow.

Seconds.

She had replied within seconds.

Clearly, she had been staring at her phone the entire time.

The thought amused him.

After exchanging a few more casual messages with Mia, Lucas spent some time chatting passionately with Ivy over the phone. By the time the call ended, he suddenly remembered something important.

His current funds were running low after purchasing the villa.

Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was Mia’s livestream.

Without hesitation, he sent another message.

"Mia, do you have time to start a livestream now? I want to send some gifts."

Meanwhile, inside her dorm room, Mia stared blankly at the message.

A strange expression appeared on her beautiful face.

For some reason...

She suddenly felt a little wronged.

Ever since Lucas appeared in her life, he had constantly gifted her expensive presents, supported her streams, and helped her become more popular.

But now that she thought about it carefully...

Every time he contacted her, it seemed related to livestreaming.

Could it be...

Lucas was only interested in sending gifts?

Was that all she was to him?

A streamer worth spending money on?

The more Mia thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She stared at the message for several minutes without replying.

Back in his room, Lucas waited for a response but received nothing.

Confused, he directly called her.

The phone rang several times before finally connecting.

"Mia, didn’t you see my message?" Lucas asked.

On the other side of the call, Mia remained silent for a few seconds before speaking softly.

"Lucas..."

"If I stop livestreaming... would you stop paying attention to me?"

The question caught Lucas completely off guard.

For a brief moment, he froze.

Honestly speaking, ever since obtaining the Infinite Rebate System, he had focused far too much on the rebates Mia generated.

He had never seriously considered how she might feel.

Hearing the sadness hidden inside her voice, Lucas immediately replied.

"Look at what you’re saying."

"If you don’t want to stream anymore, then don’t stream."

"It’s not a big deal."

"How could I possibly ignore you because of that?"

The moment those words reached her ears, Mia’s heart trembled.

For several seconds, neither of them spoke.

Then, in an almost inaudible voice, Mia whispered:

"Lucas..."

"I miss you."

The next second, the call disconnected.

She had hung up.

Completely.

Lucas sat frozen on the bed.

His eyes widened.

His heartbeat accelerated.

For the first time since obtaining the Infinite Rebate System, he felt completely caught off guard.

Mia...

Actually missed him?

Just as he was still processing what had happened, the familiar mechanical voice of the system suddenly exploded inside his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected that Mia Favorability toward the host has reached 100 points!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Deluxe Gift Package!]

[Would you like to open it?]

Lucas froze again.

Then his jaw slowly dropped.

One hundred?

Mia’s favorability had reached one hundred points?

What the hell?

He had been so focused on her rebate value that he had never once bothered checking her favorability score.

In his mind, she was simply a high-quality rebate target.

Yet somehow...

Without him realizing it...

Her favorability had already reached the maximum value.

A full one hundred points.

Lucas felt as though his brain had stopped working.

What exactly had he done?

He hadn’t confessed.

He hadn’t chased her.

He hadn’t even spent that much time with her compared to Sofia.

Yet Mia had somehow fallen for him completely.

After sitting there in shock for several moments, Lucas finally forced himself to calm down.

Forget all that.

There was something much more important right now.

The Deluxe Gift Package.

Without hesitation, he gave the command.

"System."

"Open the Deluxe Gift Package."

The next second, the system responded.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host!]

[Maximum Rebate Limit Increased!]

[Current Rebate Limit: $10,000,000]

Lucas shot upright from the bed.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Ten million dollars.

The rebate cap had increased to ten million dollars!

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Then a grin slowly spread across his face.

A grin that grew wider and wider.

Soon, uncontrollable laughter echoed throughout the luxurious villa.

Tonight...

He wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon.

Before Lucas could even recover from the shock of the first reward, another system notification suddenly exploded inside his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the inheritance of the Supreme Medical Emperor’s Soul Awakening Needles!]

[Note: After obtaining this needle technique, the host can cure any disease in the world. It can kill without leaving a trace, and it can also pull back those standing at the gates of death!]

The moment the notification appeared, an indescribable sensation surged through Lucas’s entire body.

Boom!

Countless streams of information flooded his mind like a raging ocean.

Medical theories.

Ancient prescriptions.

Acupuncture techniques.

Human anatomy.

The structure of every bone, nerve, blood vessel, organ, and meridian within the human body.

Knowledge that would normally take countless lifetimes to master was forcefully imprinted into his brain within seconds.

Lucas instinctively grabbed his head.

His breathing became heavier.

For a brief moment, it felt as if his skull was about to explode from the overwhelming amount of information.

Fortunately, the feeling disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived.

Several moments later, Lucas slowly opened his eyes.

The world around him seemed completely different.

With just a glance, he felt capable of determining a person’s physical condition. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even without touching a patient, countless symptoms and treatment methods automatically surfaced within his mind.

At that moment, Lucas understood something terrifying.

His medical knowledge had already surpassed every doctor, professor, specialist, and medical expert on Earth.

There was no illness he could not diagnose.

No disease he could not understand.

No injury he could not treat.

Whether it was cancer, heart disease, paralysis, organ failure, or even conditions considered incurable by modern medicine, countless treatment methods instantly appeared within his memories.

Lucas sat frozen on the bed.

His mouth slowly fell open.

"What the hell..."

His voice sounded dry.

This wasn’t simply medical knowledge anymore.

This was practically divine power.

Then another strange sensation appeared.

A warm current emerged from somewhere deep within his body before gathering inside his mind.

Suddenly, countless golden needles appeared within his consciousness.

The needles floated silently in the darkness.

Each one emitted a faint golden glow.

They looked ancient.

Mysterious.

Powerful.

Lucas instinctively focused on one of them.

The next second, the needle moved.

Not physically.

But within his consciousness.

As if it had become an extension of his own body.

The feeling was incredibly strange.

It was like controlling his own fingers.

No effort.

No learning process.

Pure instinct.

At that moment, Lucas understood.

These were the legendary Soul Awakening Needles.

A supreme medical art left behind by the Medical Emperor.

They could save lives.

Heal injuries.

Repair damaged organs.

Awaken dying vitality.

And according to the system’s description...

They could also kill.

Silently.

Without anyone ever discovering the cause.

The more Lucas understood the inheritance, the more shocked he became.

His heart pounded wildly inside his chest.

Originally, he thought increasing the rebate limit to ten million dollars was already an absurd reward.

Now he realized that compared to this inheritance...

Money was almost worthless.

After all, what was ten million dollars?

What about a hundred million?

A billion?

No amount of money could compare to the ability to control life and death itself.

Lucas swallowed hard.

His fingers trembled slightly.

For the first time since obtaining the Infinite Rebate System, he felt genuinely overwhelmed.

The luxurious villa fell completely silent.

Only his increasingly rapid heartbeat echoed throughout the room.

Several minutes later, Lucas finally managed to calm himself down.

He leaned back against the headboard and let out a long breath.

"I can understand the rebate increase."

"I can even understand becoming rich."

"But what the hell is this?"

Lucas looked utterly confused.

Originally, he thought the Infinite Rebate System was just a money-making cheat.

Now it was suddenly giving him inheritances capable of defying life and death.

This had completely exceeded his expectations.

He could not help but laugh bitterly.

"What kind of ridiculous thing have I awakened?"

At that moment, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

If this Supreme Medical Emperor’s Soul Awakening Needles was only one reward from a Deluxe Gift Package...

Then what kind of rewards would future gift packages contain?

The more Lucas thought about it, the more frightening the answer became.
