A single sentence suddenly made Chen Fan's nose sting.
He knew his family's situation all too well.
His parents were just ordinary farmers who couldn't save much money throughout the year.
Being able to take out so much at once...
They had probably emptied out all their savings from these past years.
They might have even borrowed money.
Chen Fan said softly,
"Dad, Mom, you really don't have to."
"I've actually earned some money from investments recently."
"How much did you earn?" Liu Xiulan asked immediately, clearly not believing him.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and decided to prepare them in advance.
"One... million?"
The other end of the line went instantly quiet.
Three seconds later, Liu Xiulan's voice came through without hesitation.
"Hahahaha! Get out of here."
Chen Fan: "..."
"It's true."
"Do you think I believe that?"
"..."
"Stop bragging."
"If you had that kind of ability, you would have gotten rich long ago."
Chen Fan felt completely helpless.
Oh well, telling the truth just made no one believe him.
They chatted for a few more minutes.
After confirming that nothing had happened to Chen Fan,
the elderly couple finally hung up the phone.
The living room returned to silence.
Just then,
the doorbell rang.
The delivery had arrived.
Chen Fan got up to collect his meal.
He returned to the sofa.
He opened the food container.
The aroma of seafood instantly wafted toward him.
He ate while
scrolling through his phone.
He was just about to check if there were any new active users for lifespan treasure.
When a video suddenly popped up in his Douyin feed.
The title was exceptionally eye-catching.
【Mysterious App Appears in Jianghai City? Trading lifespan for money?】
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
Could it be talking about lifespan treasure?
Did it make the news so quickly?
He immediately clicked on it.
The video had clearly just been posted.
It only had a few hundred likes.
But the number of comments had already exceeded a thousand.
In the video,
a blogger with a million followers was standing at the hospital entrance.
With an exaggerated expression,
"Brothers!"
"Something outrageous happened at the hospital this afternoon!"
"A fan submitted a tip saying someone sold their lifespan."
"And received 1.5 million on the spot!"
"I'm at the scene right now!"
"With the help of fans pointing them out, I've already found the person involved!"
The camera panned.
A familiar figure appeared.
It was none other than Wang Jianguo.
Of course,
the footage was blurred.
The voice had also been processed.
But Chen Fan recognized him at a glance.
In the video,
the blogger was interviewing Wang Jianguo.
Asking about the payment notification text message,
understanding the transaction process,
and interviewing the onlookers.
The surrounding crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Some said it was a scam.
Others said they were filming a movie.
The scene was quite lively.
At the end of the video,
the black and gold icon of lifespan treasure even appeared.
Although it was only for a brief two seconds,
it was enough to spark discussion.
The comment section completely exploded.
"Morality is declining!"
"Do influencers these days have no shame just for traffic?"
"Trading lifespan for money?"
"Why not say you're selling hair to trade for lifespan?"
"Suggest investigating this blogger."
"Too heavily scripted."
"That's right! Trying to imitate Cat One Punch?"
"The threshold for the internet is getting lower and lower."
"Did the psychiatric hospital's WiFi password get leaked?"
It was full of insults.
Almost no one believed it.
Chen Fan wasn't surprised.
If he hadn't experienced it himself,
he would have thought it was nonsense too.
He was just about to exit,
when suddenly,
a comment caught his attention.
【I have this app on my phone too.】
【It also appeared inexplicably without me downloading it.】
【I can't even delete it; I suspect it's a virus.】
【Just finished watching the video, and I'm going to go in and try it.】
【I'll be back in ten minutes.】
The comment was posted
nine minutes ago.
And under this comment,
there were already over a hundred replies.
"Buddy, are you still alive?"
"Brother, say something."
"You didn't actually go sell your life, did you?"
"Waiting online, it's quite urgent."
"It's been nine minutes."
"One minute left until the reveal."
"Could the OP already be financially free?"
"Come back and make a sound!"
