David left the whiskey bottle behind, his mind laser-focused. He was done with small change. He needed a large transaction to confirm the system's true power.
He marched straight toward the Fifth Avenue Luxury Shopping Center.
His destination: the Patek Philippe boutique.
David pushed through the heavy glass doors. His cheap suit was an immediate eyesore against the silent opulence of the store.
A saleswoman named Sarah, impeccably dressed and radiating snobbery, approached him with undisguised contempt. She immediately sized him up. "Sir, these timepieces are for true collectors. Are you looking for a repair service?"
"I want to buy a watch," David stated calmly.
Sarah chuckled, pointing to the corner of the display. "That stainless steel model is the entry-level piece. It costs Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000). Just look, don't touch."
"I'll take it. Now." David cut her off.
Sarah blinked, momentarily stunned by his audacity. She pulled out the $20,000 watch, convinced this penniless boy was about to hit his credit limit.
David handed over his bank card. The tension was immense. This was everything he had, again.
The transaction went through. His remaining balance dropped to $23.90.
Then, the sound that would change his life forever exploded in his mind.
[D-I-N-G! Critical Hit! Congratulations, Host! You spent $20,000.][Cashback Multiplier Triggered: The unprecedented 10,000x MAX CRITICAL!][You have received $200,000,000.00 (Two Hundred Million Dollars) cash back!]
Two Hundred Million Dollars!
David's world tilted. He was instantly a multi-millionaire, a tycoon.
Sarah, still waiting for his card to be declined, smirked. "Don't worry, sir, you only bought the cheapest…"
David interrupted her, his voice now cold, flat, and utterly dominant.
"I changed my mind." David took off the $20,000 watch and dropped it carelessly on the counter. "It's too ugly. It doesn't suit me anymore."
He pointed to the furthest display, where the store's most expensive piece—a diamond-encrusted Platinum Tourbillon—rested behind bulletproof glass, priced at $800,000.
"Wrap that one up. I'll pay in full."
Sarah's face went white. Eight hundred thousand dollars? The pauper she'd just mocked was demanding their most precious item.
David showed her the bank notification on his phone. The $200,000,023.90 balance was an undeniable, brutal truth.
Shaking, Sarah packaged the $800,000 watch. She didn't dare ask about the discarded $20,000 piece.
[System Prompt: You spent $800,000. Cashback Multiplier Triggered: 50x! You received $40,000,000.00 cash back.]
David fastened the heavy platinum watch to his wrist. His account balance settled at $240,000,023.90.
He looked out the window, back toward the glowing lights of the Ritz-Carlton penthouse.
"Jason. Lily." David whispered, a chilling promise in his voice. "You just cost me a $2000 ring. Now, I'm coming for you. Let's see who is poor now."
