Chapter 55 Thirty Years in Hexi

(already edited)

As the golden toad spoke confidently, the golden wheel as big as a hill in front of it disappeared instantly and appeared out of thin air in front of Leon.

Lyon, who received the "payment", screamed suddenly and covered his ears in pain.

“Zizzizi!!!”

Accompanied by a buzzing sound that was a hundred times harsher than any previous one, a mechanical prompt sound came to Leon's ears.

[Warning, the abnormal object "Fortune-Changing Golden Toad" is trying to change the ownership of the system]

[System ownership cannot be transferred, change operation is rejected]

【…】

"how come……"

Seeing Leon's face full of pain but without a single wrinkle and without a single gray hair, the golden toad couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This is a full 30,000 gold wheels! It's enough to buy the lives of more than a dozen people, but they can't even make him look old? Are the salaries of the Cleanup Bureau so high?

The unbelieving golden toad stepped back, stretched out its two hands, gathered five times more golden wheels than before, and pushed them all towards the man in front of it.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Zizzizi!"

【warn……】

【……reject】

“Five hundred thousand!!”

【warn……】

【……reject】

"one million!!!"

【warn……】

【……reject】

“Ah! It hurts!!!”

"This is impossible!!!"

Why is a human being so valuable?!
Looking at Leon who was holding his head and screaming but refusing to die, the golden toad whose worldview was greatly shocked could not help but grit his teeth, opened his mouth as wide as possible, and spit out golden wheels that were enough to form a river in one breath.

"These... add all of them!!!"

Like a gambler who had lost everything, the golden toad, whose own existence had been challenged, began to spit out golden wheels with all its might, until the golden wheels submerged Leon's chest, until a huge golden mountain rose in the center of the shopping mall, and until its golden skin turned faintly pale. Only then did it take a short breath, but...

【warn……】

【……reject】

"what……"

After more than five minutes of noise bombardment, not knowing whether his ears were completely deaf or he had slowly gotten used to the pain caused by the noise, Leon not only stopped screaming and stood up straight, but even because of the intense "exercise" just now, a healthy blush appeared on his face.

"..."

Impossible! I don't believe it! It shouldn't be like this!

Seeing that Leon looked even better than before, except for feeling a little uncomfortable from being squeezed by the golden wheel, the golden toad felt a buzzing in his head, as if someone had hit him hard on the top of his head with a hammer. The whole toad fell to the ground with a thud and was unable to get up for a long time.

"I've told you a long time ago that many things can't be measured by money!"

Seeing that this unbelieving guy finally stopped and stopped toiling, Leon, whose ears no longer suffered, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After struggling to climb out of the golden wheel that had flooded his chest, he thought for a long time about how to respond, then climbed up the Golden Wheel Mountain using both hands and feet, and looked down at the golden toad that was full of resentment. He mustered up the courage to half-truthfully say:

"Although I am just an insignificant ordinary person, struggling for a meager salary every day, and selling my life in disguise as you said. But I know very well in my heart that I am not a slave to money! I have never lived for money! So even if you can control money at will, you can never buy my life!"

"Bullshit!"

Enraged by the disdain in the "slave's" eyes, the severely faded golden toad struggled to stand up, arched its huge head again, higher than the golden mountain, and then opened its big mouth and aimed at Leon on the golden mountain, trying to spray out more golden wheels again to buy the life of this human.

However, this time, what he spewed out was no longer a dazzling golden wheel, but a large amount of silver-white currency carved with patterns, covering the dazzling golden mountain with a layer of pale snow.

"Why did you change to a silver wheel? Don't you have any money?"

"I have!"

After spitting out a large amount of silver wheels again, but finding that it still had no effect on Leon, the silver toad's eyes could not help but waver, and then quickly raised his head firmly and responded angrily:
"I am the Holy Spirit of the Scale Gold Religion! My wealth is endless! It's just that too much of my power has been consumed by the advent. Once I leave here and return to..."

"Don't be silly, no matter how much money you can spit out, the result will be the same!"

Leon, whose chest was once again flooded by the silver wheel, sneered, secretly took out the wine bottle and took a big gulp. After relying on the effect of [Martyr of the Wine Country] to completely suppress the remaining fear in his heart, he looked up and stared at the giant toad that was faintly copper-colored, bullying it for not understanding the existence of the system, and continued to "attack" aggressively:

"Open your eyes and take a look. Isn't the relationship between me and money just like the mountain you vomited?"

Reaching out to push away the heavy silver wheel, and struggling to get out of the "snow top", Leon once again occupied the highest point of the gold and silver mountain, looking down at the faded toad below, and said with disdain:

"Admit it, as long as I can stay awake, not be paralyzed and buried by the magic of money, but strive to strive for higher and greater goals, no matter how much money there is, it is only worthy of staying at my feet!"

"Crack!"

"I do not believe!"

With a clear cracking sound, the toad with many cracks on its body suddenly raised its head, roaring that I didn't believe it, and tried to raise its head, trying to arch it back to a position higher than Leon.

However, with the blessing of such a huge mountain of gold and silver, no matter how hard it tried, it could only be lower than Lyon and endure Lyon's contempt from below.

"This is impossible!!!"

Feeling a great humiliation from being looked down upon by the other party, the Faded Toad struggled to stand up and suddenly jumped upward, trying to climb up the mountain of gold and silver and look down on Lyon from a high position again.

However, even a small hill made of gold and silver could not support a six-meter-tall behemoth. Half of the mountain collapsed in an instant. The toad, who had barely jumped up, could only roll and crawl down again, gasping for breath and looking up at Leon on the top of the mountain dizzily.

"Look, even the money you control is beginning to abandon you."

"Crack!"

Leon finished the knife in time, and sat cross-legged on the "Silver Wheel Snow Top" that was more than one meter thick, looking down at the unwilling toad below. He shook his head silently at first, then grabbed a handful of silver wheels and threw them down, covering the toad's skin that was getting deeper and deeper cracks, and sighed:

"I have been pursuing money all my life, but now I am standing on top of countless money, while you who regard yourself as the master of money can only be buried under money. Isn't it ironic if you think about it carefully?"

"Crack!"

No...it's not true! It's not true!

Looking at his almost completely broken body, the Cracked Toad, who was no longer able to stand up, held on to his last hope, raised his head and asked angrily:
"It's an abnormal object! It's an abnormal object, right? You must have an abnormal object of extremely high status! It's even powerful enough to resist my ability!"

"If you think so, then so be it."

After showing off his still muscleless arms, Leon shook his head and sneered, then shamelessly said nonsense:
"You guessed it right. I do have an extremely powerful anomaly, with a status higher than that of a true god, but it has no effect on my body. As a result, I can't even lift an iron box now. I can only carry the sheep's head in a shopping bag to complete the mission.

Oh, by the way, you couldn't buy everything from me just now because its status was too high, so your ability couldn't take effect... Hehe, can this comfort you a little?"

"me……"

"Don't bother me, you're just a poor fellow."

After forcibly drawing a conclusion about the life of the Cracked Toad, Leon, sitting on the Gold and Silver Mountain, suppressed the excitement in his heart that was about to kill the Holy Spirit, and narrated leisurely:
“I have always felt that a person’s view of the world is actually just a projection of his or her own values.

When you see someone making noise, what you actually see is not the person making noise, but your own aversion to noise.
You see someone working hard, but what you see is not the person working, but your own appreciation of the hard work;
This world is so vivid and beautiful, but not only can you not feel it at all, but you can only see a group of slaves controlled by money..."

At this point, Leon paused, looked at the huge toad that was breaking into pieces below, and whispered with pity in his eyes:

"Who are the ones who are buried by the magic of money, those who are working hard to live... or you who see them as a group of slaves?"

"Crack!"

"Wow!"
