I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

"$150! $150! Does Robert still want it?"

"$200!"

"Okay! Robert, $200!"

An obese man was speaking rapidly, muttering:

"Asian kid, do you want more?"

Li Yuan squinted at the black guy bidding, raised his hand, and signaled to continue raising the price.

"Okay, $250 for the Asian kid!"

As the auctioneer called out bids, the chubby man standing beside Li Yuan looked on with worry in his eyes.

"Li Yuan, didn't we say we'd try our luck? We still have to pay rent next month..."

"Edward, trust me, we'll definitely make money this time."

Li Yuan patted his hand calmly, his tone full of certainty.

During the warehouse presentation, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a hidden treasure in the warehouse!

Meanwhile, Robert, who was bidding against Li Yuan, was hesitant about whether to continue.

He was afraid that if he raised the price, the other party might not follow suit, and he would be stuck with the deal.

This warehouse wasn't profitable enough for him, but he was unwilling to let Li Yuan profit from it.

However, after a moment's thought, Robert ultimately decided to give up.

He looked up at Li Yuan, his tone dripping with sarcasm:

"Hey, you Asian newbie, you're in for a rude awakening! It's all dust and stinking garbage there!"

"Shut up, Robert! If you want it, make an offer!"

The auctioneer immediately reprimanded them.

Seeing this, Robert had no choice but to shut his mouth.

But he still crossed his arms and stared at Li Yuan with a look of amusement, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Li Yuan shrugged noncommittally.

In the month or so he has been in America, he has witnessed all kinds of discrimination.

Especially those from Black guys, those who know, know.

"$250 once! $250 twice! Anything else?"

The auctioneer looked around and, seeing that no one else was raising their hands, had no choice but to clap his hands together.

"Deal! This warehouse number 13 is now the property of this Asian kid!"

"Good luck, kid!"

The auctioneer offered Li Yuan a polite blessing before leading the other auctioneers to the next warehouse.

Watching the departing crowd, Edward took out a box of donuts that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, these are lucky donuts! Eating them will bring us good luck!"

Under Edward's expectant gaze, Li Yuan reluctantly took a bite.

He immediately shoved it back into his box: "Why does this stuff taste so awful?"

However, Edward ate with relish, mumbling indistinctly:

"No, maybe it would taste even better with some cream puffs!"

Li Yuan curled his lip in disdain and stepped into the roller shutter door of warehouse number 13.

As I gripped the handles with both hands, a surge of heroic ambition rose within me.

My journey to becoming an American billionaire begins from this moment!

"Clatter—creak!"

The dusty, overdue warehouse was opened again.

Li Yuan walked toward the corner he had anticipated.

Several ugly stones, emitting a faint fishy smell, lay quietly in the corner.

"This is ambergris! These barbarians don't know its value; they've got a real bargain for me!"

Li Yuan held several pieces of whitish raw material in his hand and squeezed them to confirm their authenticity:

"With them, my rent and student loan payments that are due soon will be covered!"

At this point, Li Yuan was speechless.

When other people transmigrate, they get all sorts of benefits from various systems.

Not only was I dirt poor, but I also ended up with student loans!

That exorbitant amount is so large that even this bargain might not be enough to pay it off.

If we can't pay this back, we might risk being executed...

Just as Li Yuan was still internally complaining,

Edward, who was rummaging through drawers and cupboards behind him, suddenly spoke:

"Li Yuan, come quick! Look what I've found!"

Li Yuan put the pieces of ambergris into his bag before turning back to look at Edward.

Edward was holding an abstractly shaped doll in his hands.

Li Yuan frowned as he looked at the somewhat familiar side parting and asked:

"What's this? Why does his hairstyle look a bit like Trump's?"

Edward said in surprise, "You didn't know?"

"His name is Chucky, and he was a very famous companion doll when I was a child."

As he spoke, he happily pinched the doll's cheek.

"It's in good condition; it might be worth some money."

Li Yuan nodded indifferently.

The spices I found were already a great profit; everything else was an unexpected bonus.

He greeted Edward:

"Let's clean up the trash first."

Upon hearing this, Edward carefully placed Chucky into his bag.

Only then did he and Li Yuan begin cleaning up the dusty warehouse.

After a flurry of activity, Li Yuan, covered in sweat, wiped his face.

"Looks like there's really nothing valuable left. Let's move the stuff to the car."

Then he glanced at Chucky on the shelf in front of him and asked in confusion:

"Edward, did you just put this doll here?"

Edward wiped the sweat from his face and walked into the warehouse, completely bewildered.

"What did you say?"

I said...

Li Yuan hadn't finished speaking.

The next moment, the roller shutter door that had been pulled up suddenly slammed shut!

The once brightly lit warehouse instantly turned pitch black.

Edward exclaimed, "Li Yuan, what happened! Who turned off the lights?!"

Li Yuan said irritably:

"Shut up my ass, it's probably just that the roller shutter door of this lousy warehouse is broken."

As he spoke, Li Yuan lit the lighter in his hand with a "click," intending to use it for lighting.

But just then, he caught a glimpse of a flash of light out of the corner of his eye.

Li Yuan immediately looked toward the source of the light with alarm.

Just moments ago, Chucky, the doll, was sitting quietly on the shelf.

At this moment, he looked at himself with a ferocious expression.

In his small hand, he was holding a sharp knife!

"Holy crap! This—!"

Li Yuan stared at the horrifying scene before him, his mind momentarily blank.

But Chachi didn't give Li Yuan a chance to react.

It let out a strange laugh and charged toward Li Yuan with bizarre movements.

With a soft "thud," the sharp dagger pierced precisely into Li Yuan's heart.

The moment the excruciating pain occurred, a feeling of powerlessness swept over my entire body.

Li Yuan clutched his chest blankly, warm blood seeping through his fingers, and his body slowly and uncontrollably fell backward.

In his fading consciousness, Li Yuan subconsciously muttered to himself, "I haven't even finished paying off my student loan yet..."

Suddenly, the cold sensation was enveloped by a wave of warmth.

The darkness that had enveloped my vision gradually gave way to brightness.

Li Yuan vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a huge thing standing in front of him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan, who had regained consciousness, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Na...Naru?"

Gazing at the creature suspended in the air, radiating holy light, resembling a tangram puzzle.

Li Yuan's lips trembled slightly as he thought to himself, "Where the hell did this come from?!"

At that moment, an aged yet gentle voice lingered in Li Yuan's ears:

"My faithful believer...please do not be confused...the Holy Light will help you shatter the darkness..."

Hearing the words in his ear, Li Yuan couldn't help but think to himself:

"Could this be... the blessing I've had since the vanilla era, playing a Paladin...?"

Before Li Yuan could think further, Naru suddenly shot out a beam of golden light!

A warm and powerful holy light filled Li Yuan's body!

[Ding! Host's body is repairing!]

[The Holy Light Power System is being generated!]

Hearing the voice in his ear, Li Yuan, whose vision had once again faded into darkness, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"My cheat code has finally arrived!"
