Early in the morning, Lewis woke up bright and early.
His mom and the others were already up, busy cooking.
White smoke curled out of the chimney, and the aroma of food filled the air.
After breakfast, Lewis stopped his dad who was preparing to visit neighbors.
"Dad, when do you plan to come back?"
"Come back where?"
"Home, of course." Lewis said, "You're not planning to stay in Longer forever, are you?"
His dad replied, "Your mom and I are thinking of opening another shop."
He was actually torn. Running a shop outside earned more money than at home, but it was too far from home. His grandparents were all in their hometown.
If something happened to them, there wouldn't be anyone to take care of them.
His uncle was also not young, and his health had never been good. His little uncle did physical labor and only came back during holidays.
He had originally planned to earn some money for a few years and then return to open a restaurant in the county town.
But the sudden million USD Lewis gave him made him consider expanding his business.
Balancing family and business was a tough decision.
Lewis thought they could start a business in their hometown.
They didn't need to make a fortune; earning a little money would be easy enough.
Plus, it would be less stressful, and they'd be closer to home.
Plus, he was now somewhat famous, which could naturally promote the new shop.
Lewis was just about to speak when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and his eyes lit up.
It was a call from the program group!
No need to ask; the review results from Sky Group must be out.
"I have to take this call."
"Go ahead, we'll talk later."
...
Program Group.
"The review results from Sky Group are out."
Ash's announcement immediately perked up the spirits of millions of viewers.
The observers were also waiting breathlessly.
Although they were hosts and observers, they didn't receive any special treatment.
Sky Group notified everyone of the review results and rewards in real-time.
They only knew a few minutes earlier than the audience.
Ash said, "Let's connect with Lewis first."
He dialed Lewis' number on the landline.
"Beep beep."
"Hello."
"Hello, Lewis. This is Ash, the host of 'The Bucket List'."
"Hello."
"You don't sound very excited," Ash said.
"Actually, I am excited," Lewis chuckled.
"Alright, you're the calmest challenger I've ever seen," Ash laughed. "The review results from Sky Group are out. Your 14th last wish challenge is confirmed valid. Congratulations, Lewis."
"Thank you."
"You really aren't excited at all."
Ash was somewhat speechless. Passing the review meant he would receive the corresponding reward.
Even if the reward was the worst case scenario, it was still millions of USD. How could he be so calm?
"Also, the reward for completing this last wish is..."
Ash deliberately paused for a few seconds, building up suspense. He waited until the netizens in the live brast room were buzzing with excitement before continuing.
"You can choose any car from any 4S dealership in the country, plus a cash reward of 2 million USD for consecutively completing last wishes."
"Wow, what an amazing reward!"
"Poison! Poison! Poison! You must buy the Poison!"
"Forget the Poison, buy a Koenigsegg!"
"If you're lucky enough to find a Koenigsegg CCXR in stock, you can sell it for forty to fifty million!"
"But it's not available in the country."
Upon hearing the reward, the netizens instantly freaked out.
Luxury homes and sports cars were the dreams of many men.
Especially cars!
For many people, the first thing they do after earning money is not buy a house, but a car.
One could say they were short-sighted, but it also showed from the side that, in the hearts of many men, cars were indeed something that could enhance their dignity.
Lewis' attention wasn't on the car. He had a thought and asked, "For consecutively completing last wishes, there are additional cash rewards, right?"
Ash said, "Sorry, I'm not clear about the specific details of the rewards."
Sky Group hadn't disclosed any relevant information, so they could only guess.
The first time he completed a challenge, he received an additional cash reward of 1 million USD.
For the second, he got 2 million.
He guessed that it might really be as he suspected. If he consecutively completed last wishes, he would receive additional cash rewards each time.
"Lewis, will you continue to challenge or choose to quit?"
"Continue."
"Alright, then from now on, you have seven days of rest." Ash asked again, "I'm curious, do you already have a choice for your third last wish?"
This was also what all the viewers were curious about.
They wanted to know which last wish Lewis would choose for his third one.
"I've already made a decision," Lewis smiled, "but it's a secret now."
Ash was surprised and chuckled, "Then, I'll wait for your call."
"Okay."
"Wish you a pleasant holiday."
After hanging up, the chat room was almost bombed with messages.
"Ah ah ah, Lewis, don't keep us in suspense!"
"I want to know what you're going to choose!"
"Close the door and release Duck King!"
[Duck King]: Quack quack quack?
...
Shortly after hanging up, the 2 million USD cash reward had already arrived in his account.
The endorsement fee from the ambassador had also arrived last night.
Currently, his account had 3 million USD in cash.
The live brast room had already earned 300,000 USD as of now.
These amounts weren't huge, but they were enough for him to use.
Moreover, he didn't actually need much money, at least not in the short term.
Not long after, Sky Group called again, and it was still Mr. Sam, the lawyer.
"Mr. Lewis, once you've decided on the car you want, please contact me immediately. I will notify Sky Group to make the payment."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Cars...
Lewis naturally liked them, but his current understanding of cars was still limited to brands like BMW, Benz, and Audi.
Now, he was suddenly given an unrestricted choice.
As long as the car was available at a domestic 4S dealership, he could get it free of charge.
He didn't know what car to buy anymore.
He personally preferred SUVs; they were big, had high ground clearance, good performance, durable, and could go anywhere he wanted.
So, Lewis spent the entire morning researching cars.
He started looking at models priced in the millions and was dazzled by the choices.
First, he ruled out sports cars; he didn't like them.
Sports cars priced in the tens of millions were also ignored.
Simple, they weren't available in the country.
And even if he bought one, it would be hard to resell.
Rather than going through that hassle, he would choose one he liked.
He had never planned to buy and then sell it.
Just a few tens of millions; he would earn that sooner or later.
His current focus shouldn't be on that.
Finally, he selected some car photos and went to ask his grandmother.
"Grandma, which of these cars do you like the most?" Lewis showed her the photos on his phone.
"My grandson is buying a car, huh?"
"Yeah, when the car arrives, you can wear a pretty dress, a hat, and sunglasses. Let Dad drive you out for a spin."
"I'm too old to wear dresses."
"Hehe, Grandma, look quickly."
"This one looks nice," Grandma pointed to a photo.
"Grandma has good taste. I like this one too," Lewis said, "Let's buy this one."
"This must cost over a hundred thousand USD, right?"
"It's free, no charge."
"You little rascal, even trying to fool your grandma."
"It's really free. I participated in the show and they gave it to me."
