While it wasn't a spectacular display of sparks and lightning, there was still flesh being torn from bone.

The blood from the gluttony patient seemed sluggish.

It only seeped out from the severed skin after a few seconds.

Chu Yunyi didn't dare to delay for a moment.

He was afraid that if he was even two seconds late, the Gluttony Leader's wound... would heal directly!

That's right.

He was indeed afraid of it healing.

It was because the Gluttony Leader's physique was too massive, and the Black Gold Shock Saber was too sharp.

The incision was simply too neat.

If flesh and blood reattached, it might actually heal...

"Being too sharp is a disadvantage here..." Chu Yunyi felt a bit ashamed.

If he had enough time.

He would have smeared some human excrement on the blade, or if that didn't work, some paraquat. That stuff was more effective than any poison.

But now.

"Nngh!"

Chu Yunyi shouted, his speed increasing. He immediately circled the Gluttony Leader's head in a full loop!

The next moment.

Chu Yunyi raised his right hand, inserted the saber directly into the Gluttony Leader's brain as a pivot point.

He braced himself.

A support point instantly appeared, and Chu Yunyi pulled downwards, prying open the Gluttony Leader's skull.

CRUNCH!

The massive skull flew up and landed at one end of the storage center.

Seeing this, Chu Yunyi.

He immediately stood up, stepped into the brain cavity, and swung his saber.

But to Chu Yunyi's surprise, the gluttony patient was still struggling violently, determined to devour Chu Yunyi.

BOOM!

The Gluttony Leader lunged, a palm the size of a mountain reaching out.

Chu Yunyi ducked to avoid it.

But the Gluttony Leader seemed to react belatedly, constantly searching for Chu Yunyi, directly churning its own brain into a mess.

The more it searched, the more confused it became.

"Eat!"

The Gluttony Leader roared incoherently, on the verge of collapsing.

Seeing this.

Chu Yunyi quickly delivered the final blow. Otherwise, if it wasn't counted under the Round Table's control, it would be quite frustrating.

CRASH!

The Gluttony Leader's body fell to the ground, unable to rise again.

To prevent it from faking death, Chu Yunyi added a few more blows, only leaving after confirming its true demise.

He couldn't help it; this kind of thing had almost become a habit.

He hated the trope where someone survived because the killer didn't finish them off, only to be counter-killed later.

Dragon Country, Anda City First High School.

Male dormitory.

"Damn it!!!! Why do I have to do homework even after being reborn?!" a male student yelled frantically, hunched over his desk doing homework...

A boy in the bunk above smiled without speaking, a sharp golden light flashing in his eyes.

There were four people in the dorm.

Two had gone out to eat, and one was catching up on homework.

It was Sunday today, and the dorm was always open.

High schools like this usually had six days of classes a week, with evening study on Sundays.

And now.

One reborn person, although his grades in his previous life weren't ideal, had managed to secure a 30-year mortgage and a 20-year car loan through his own hard work.

Although things weren't ideal, I at least had a car and a house, with my beautiful wife by my side.

But now.

Everything was gone in an instant, and I was back to doing homework...

"No... where did it all go wrong."

"Shouldn't a Reborn person use information asymmetry to defy fate, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life?!" the Reborn person's roommate suddenly realized.

But his pen didn't stop.

The fear of his homeroom teacher was deeply etched into his soul; not finishing his homework would be the least of his worries, as his parents would be contacted.

For some reason.

This point posed a significant threat to the Reborn person.

"Tsk, what's the current trend?"

"The Great Wall stock will surge by 17 billion a month later because a little girl shouted something and it went viral..."

"And that milk tea company that mocked the little Japanese, its stock price soared 400 times! It hit the daily limit!"

"I didn't have much of a concept of stocks before, but now it's true... if there's good news, it goes up."

"No..."

"If I want to earn enough to not worry for the rest of my life, I need at least 3 million in capital..."

"Three million, where the hell am I supposed to get that..."

The Reborn person's roommate's pen continued to fly across the paper as he rapidly caught up, his mind racing.

Seeing his roommate's anxious state, trying to do homework while thinking hard.

The golden-eyed youth on the upper bunk smiled, then jokingly said:

"Stop worrying, I'm actually a Genie of Equivalent Exchange."

"Three million, want to trade it for ten years of your life, yes or no?"

Hearing the golden-eyed youth's words, the Reborn person's roommate replied without even looking up, "Sure, if I can live to 85, losing 10 years means I'll be 75."

"So the last 10 years are traded away, which means ten fewer years of suffering."

"And besides."

"This money is equivalent to earning 8,300 a month without working, playing every day, how great is that."

"If I found a job, there's no way I'd get paid 8,000 a month without working."

As if he hadn't put much thought into it, the Reborn person's roommate shot back.

Hearing such a reply.

The golden-eyed youth smiled, fiddled with his phone for a moment.

But then he froze, paused for a beat, and said, "No... your rural credit cooperative card has a daily limit of fifty thousand."

'Ding.'

The Reborn person's roommate saw the message, picked up his phone, and his eyes widened.

He found that fifty thousand yuan had appeared in his bank account!

"Ah! Ah, this! You're serious!" the Reborn person's roommate exclaimed repeatedly, looking at the golden-eyed youth, finding him increasingly unfamiliar.

"What?"

"Didn't you say it? 10 years for 3 million, but your card has a limit."

"I'll transfer 50,000 to you every day from now on, it'll take two months."

The Reborn person's roommate was somewhat incredulous, but quickly recovered and immediately knelt down in gratitude:

"Godfather! I can never repay this kindness!"

"In the next life, I'll be your ox or horse!"

With that said.

The Reborn person's roommate grabbed the homework book on the desk, then violently threw it on the ground! He even snapped his pen in half!

Just kidding.

If he really had money, who would go through high school all over again!

"Woohoo!!" The Reborn person's roommate grabbed his phone and, without looking back, ran out of the dormitory, out of the school, not even a shadow of the security guard was seen.

But at this moment.

A ball of golden light enveloped the golden-eyed youth's hand, which he then slowly absorbed into his body.

"Oh~ Both lifespan and money have completed their secondary accumulation."

"What should I do next?" the golden-eyed youth's gaze shifted, a calculating aura emanating from him.

But as soon as he finished speaking.

A silent door opened quietly, and a figure walked out.

Continuing the words that hadn't fallen to the floor, the newcomer said softly:

"What do you want?"

"Come to die." Chu Yunyi glanced at the only other person in the room.

Him.

That boy with golden eyes was the last of the Seven Deadly Sins leaders, the leader of Greed!

Seeing Chu Yunyi appear as if out of nowhere, the golden-eyed boy wasn't overly surprised.

He lay on his side on the bed.

Propping his chin with one hand, he said casually, "Hey, don't always be talking about life and death."

"Let's talk."

"Everything is about profit. You didn't let me go just because the profit wasn't high enough."

"Name your price, Mr. Chu."
