After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Upgrading the Version



It was only then that Chen Yu reacted, realizing he had more than a dozen different plans in his mind to simply remove such fungal substances.

But to extract the radioactive material from this guy\'s body, he couldn\'t do it in a short time.

"I can cure it, but I need time!"

"Good!" The bearded man excitedly slapped Chen Yu\'s shoulder, "In that case, come with us!"

Afterwards, the bearded man ordered all the villagers they had just captured to be released, taking only Chen Yu back to Angluna.

After all, he wasn\'t running a shelter. Since these people were all sick, there was no need for him to burden himself further.

It wasn\'t until the caravan had left that Ka Jinwen and Jin Lingsu crawled out of the wooden hut.

"What do we do now? Mr. Chen\'s trip looks more dangerous than lucky."

Ka Jinwen immediately started pacing anxiously. If anything happened to Chen Yu, William\'s family wouldn\'t let him off the hook.

Jin Lingsu, however, appeared quite calm. Knowing Chen Yu as she did, she suspected that all this was within Chen Yu\'s control.

Sure enough, a message arrived on the device on both their wrists at the same time.

"Wait for my signal, we will coordinate from inside and out!"

They both breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Chen Yu was now in Angluna, and their plan had gotten off to a good start.

Long ago, Angluna was one of the few small cities within the Arctic Circle.

Since the discovery of rare minerals, the economic value of the place had risen. Even with its harsh environment, the small city was gradually expanding.

Eventually, a power established its own nation here and developed independently.

When the caravan entered Angluna, Chen Yu felt as if he had suddenly entered a world of eternal night.

The aurora on the horizon constantly swayed, its radiance bringing brilliant illumination to the night.

Chen Yu subconsciously calculated in his mind that this latitude was in a state of polar night.

Although he came here on a mission, witnessing such a magical sight made the journey worthwhile.

The vehicle soon stopped at a campsite, where the previous bearded man dragged Chen Yu into the camp.

"Everyone here has the same illness. As long as you can cure them, you can ask us for anything."

Chen Yu looked around and saw at least two thousand people, all of them young and able-bodied.

Even with rare minerals, such a small Arctic city couldn\'t possibly gather so many people at once.

And these were just the sick ones. Based on the contagion rate of the disease, the working force still at work must be at least ten thousand strong.

Just then, a tall figure suddenly entered the camp.

"What\'s going on here? Why are there more and more people? What happened to the doctors we brought in before?"

The bearded man hurried forward, "Mr. Bell, the previous doctors were incompetent and have been executed. We just found another one, and he should be able to..."

Bell snorted coldly, "I\'ll give you three more days. If these patients aren\'t cured by then, dispose of them all. Don\'t let them interfere with the progress of the mine."

With that, Bell turned and left.

The bearded man nodded repeatedly and then rushed to Chen Yu.

"Listen, you\'ve only got three days to cure this, or you\'ll go to hell with these guys if you can\'t,"

Chen Yu didn\'t say much, just nodded his head, his gaze drifting occasionally towards the departing figure of Bell.

He was certain that this Bell was the target they were meant to capture this time.

Only after the bearded man and his men left did Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. He rushed to a patient, lifting their blanket.

He found that the patient\'s body was covered with extensive ulceration.

Although the fungi could destroy the human immune system and reproduce spores on the skin\'s surface, they would never cause such severe ulceration.

There was only one explanation for such a condition, these people must have been in a high-radiation environment for a long time.

[Detection of host in a low-level radiation environment, do you require protection?]

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, he hadn\'t expected the system to provide him with radiation protection.

"Of course I need it!"

[Magnetic Field Induction Protection initiating, one million points will be deducted from the host\'s remaining points]

[Current remaining points are one million six hundred seventy-six thousand six hundred]

"Damn, one million!" Chen Yu couldn\'t help but widen his eyes.

Although the upgraded system certainly had more practical uses, this seemed to be too much of a scam; he had painstakingly accumulated those points, only managing to earn a couple hundred million a day.

Before he could feel the pain of his loss, the system\'s notification sounded again.

[The protection can only last for five hours, afterwards, if continuation is desired, points will be deducted continuously at the rate of one million points per five hours]

Chen Yu felt like cursing. Although his physical condition had reached the human limit, he wasn\'t able to perfectly resist radiation.

Moreover, he had no idea how long he would need to stay in this environment.

Didn\'t that mean he had to spend a million points every five hours?

[System notification, if the host spends one billion points to upgrade the system to version 3.0, usage of Magnetic Field Induction Protection will be free, and the system can also help the host to treat all the patients here]

Chen Yu could no longer bear it, now he was in pain just spending one million points, where would he get one billion points to upgrade the system?

Moreover, after spending ten million to upgrade the system last time, it had developed some self-awareness.

If he really upgraded it to version 3.0, who knew what would happen?

"Doctor, please save me, I have a wife, children! And elderly parents to care for at home."

The patient from before suddenly grabbed Chen Yu\'s hand, his eyes full of pleading.

The other patients also struggled to sit up, looking at Chen Yu with hopeful eyes.

They were just ordinary people who wanted to leave this place.

Chen Yu was immediately moved by compassion, but he didn\'t have a billion points to upgrade the system.

[Congratulations to the host for completing one day of business, today\'s expenditure exceeded profits, no points accrued.]

Chen Yu\'s face was filled with frustration; it looked like the store was running out of raw materials, and Tong Ya had, as usual, ordered the next week\'s materials in one go.

He had thought that after closing for the day, he would have some extra points left over, but he had forgotten about this matter.

However, before he left, he had entrusted the store\'s account to Tong Ya, and with her abilities, he had nothing to worry about in terms of the business.

But as he looked at the people lying before him, gasping for breath, he suddenly felt at a loss.
