Yes.
The seed.
A seed that crossed over to this World with Hawk, taking root in his mind. Just when Hawk felt he could do whatever he wanted with this cheat, he was told that he needed to hatch this seed to its ultimate form to truly unleash its power.
Simply put.
This was a cheat that he needed to upgrade manually.
Hawk's face immediately fell at that time.
Now?
Hawk thought of that cheat seed, which had been with him since birth but still hadn't hatched to its third stage and required a massive amount of money to succeed. As soon as the thought emerged, a very simple interface, like a pop-up window, shot straight into his line of sight.
An interface that only Hawk himself could see.
The interface wasn't a common cheat interface found on the market, but rather similar to a Happy Farm interface. On this interface, in a patch of land, a newly sprouted seed, whose appearance and color looked very appealing, glowed with seven-colored light as if breathing, firmly attracting Hawk's gaze.
When Hawk's gaze fell on the seemingly newly sprouted seed rooted in the soil, a pop-up similar to a planting progress bar appeared.
However...
Other people's seeds grow by watering.
But his seed's Growth depended entirely on burning money.
And it could only be his "Blood" "Sweat" "Money"!
"System: 'Super-God Long Ladder!'"
"To become a God, there are no shortcuts to rely on, let alone a Super-God. You can only climb step by step with your own efforts. Keep going!"
"Initial Stage: 'First Stage (Germination Period)'"
"Stage Additional Attribute: 'Growth'"
"Growth: 'When you suffer fatal damage, your recovery will increase by twice your age to ensure you can continue to grow vigorously.'"
"Stage Upgrade Requirement: 'Effort to survive until thirteen years old!'"
"Requirement Explanation: 'If you can't even live to thirteen, then you need to accept your fate. To become a God, first and foremost, you must ensure you have the life to pursue it!'"
"Current Stage: 'Second Stage' (Growth Period)"
"Current Stage Additional Attribute: 'Drop Loot!'"
"Drop Loot: 'When you successfully kill a living target, the target will randomly drop an attribute, skill, or treasure that the target is most proficient in, which will be applied to you: Strength, Speed, Constitution, Knowledge, Posture…"
"Next Stage: 'Third Stage (Transcendent Period)'"
"Materials Required for Upgrade: 'One hundred million U.S. dollars!'"
"Material Acquisition Explanation: 'One effort, one harvest. This one hundred million U.S. dollars must be your own Blood and Sweat Money. Note, it is literally Blood! Sweat! Money!'"
"Current Progress: '3.35M / 100M'"
"Upgrade Explanation: 'To become a Super-God, besides having the fate, you also need other things. As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation, and you, you need to rely on Krypton Gold! First, you need to achieve a small goal. Maybe you can't achieve it, but if you do, when you look back, you will find that all the hardship and effort were worth it. After all, if money can buy a ticket to become a God or even surpass a God, let alone one hundred million, even ten hundred million, someone would pay it, wouldn't they, dear!!!!!'"
"…"
Hawk's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the last sentence in the simple system: "If you didn't look like a system and seemed like a system, based on that sentence, I wouldn't believe a word you say."
This was one hundred million.
And it was U.S. dollars.
Not Vietnamese dong.
Most importantly, others started as orphans at most, but he started as two orphans.
Fortunately.
This broken system didn't require one hundred million U.S. dollars to upgrade from the start. If it did, Hawk felt he would immediately slit his throat to see if he could cross back.
An adult trying to earn one million, let alone U.S. dollars, even if it were Chinese yuan, a normal adult probably couldn't earn it in less than ten years, right?
What's more, at that time, Hawk was an orphan who opened his eyes to find himself and his sister Lorna waiting to be adopted in an adoption agency.
But that wasn't the point.
The point was...
No matter what stage, the materials required by this dog system were very peculiar, but they all seemed very reasonable.
It seemed, felt, as if, indeed, using one hundred million of Blood and Sweat Money to exchange for a chance to become a God, from a certain perspective, the system might not lose out, but Hawk definitely felt he would make a huge profit.
But...
This one hundred million Blood and Sweat Money had to be truly Blood and Sweat Money.
The emphasis was on the words "Blood" and "Sweat."
Money earned from these two literal meanings could be counted towards this progress bar. Money easily obtained through blackmail, gambling, or scholarships was not recognized by the system.
In a word.
This money had to be either obtained by making others bleed, or by making yourself sweat. Other than that, there was no third way.
As the system said.
To become a God, there are no shortcuts!
However...
He was finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It wasn't easy.
Hawk looked at the progress bar with the gaze of a daughter-in-law who had finally become a mother-in-law after many years, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
From the age of thirteen when he joined the assassin profession, for the first two years, he could only follow the old assassin who introduced him to the trade as an apprentice. It wasn't until the third year, when he was fifteen, that he officially became an assassin and found his own agent to start his career of taking orders.
But in that year, when he was fifteen, the commission Hawk earned was very little.
After all, Hawk at that time had just debuted and was a nobody in the assassin World. Coupled with the special nature of the assassin profession, where advertising was not allowed, very few people sought Hawk's help to solve their problems in his first year.
This was normal.
But last year, when Hawk was sixteen, his assassin career finally saw a boom. Basically, he would get a job every month, and occasionally one or two urgent jobs.
Actually...
Hawk was a bit hesitant at first.
Nothing else.
The assassin profession brought quick money, but the danger factor also seemed quite high.
However, after Hawk understood the true meaning of the "Blood and Sweat Money" required by the system, he sighed, gave up struggling, and plunged into the assassin profession.
After all, making himself sweat was not as good as making others bleed.
And Hawk had also come to terms with it.
Anyway, he had already changed Worlds, and the East Country was no longer the East Country in his memory. Since that was the case, what was there to worry about or be conflicted about?
Just do it!
...
Applause.
