How Am I Still Alive?

Spiritual Qi Resurgence, Gods descending? Continuous disasters, all living beings suffering? What does it have to do with me? I'm just a patient with an incurable disease, who's been given up on treatment and has a countdown to death. Embarking on the path of exorcising demons and annihilating immortals with my crippled body is not for the sake of protecting my family and country, but because the hazardous duty pay is too tempting, especially the compensation... "This Evil Gods profession system is cursed, even if there's smooth progress in the early stages, the practitioners will eventually commit suicide..." "Give me a set." "This Demon Sword poisons its user and has already taken ninety-nine lives..." "Give me two, and also that man-eating demonic helmet, soul-devouring blood claws, get me a set." "This Magic Potion is harmful to heaven and earth..." "Enough talk, I'll take them all!" However, the problem is, why am I still alive after taking on all these high-risk missions, stepping on every risk, and doing every deadly task? 【Congratulations, congratulations! Ranked first among the Top Ten Heroes Who Moved the World...】 "...Heavens, wasn't the average life expectancy in this line of work three and a half years? I've been here for one cycle of three years after another, I'm almost an S-level hunter, the first of the top ten heroes! Why am I still alive? I just want to make an honor sacrifice, scam some compensation! Is that so hard?!"

Susu was also the only girl in three generations of the Qin Family, cherished by her parents, doted on by her brothers, and her nephews would fight over holding their auntie and protecting her. Protect her? Susu said she didn't need it, for she was a mighty and ferocious Divine Beast! With her around, no one would dare to bully the Qin Family members! Those who bullied her family got sent flying; those who coveted their fortune got sent flying; those who tried to kidnap her got sent flying. The kidnappers who captured Susu were frightened by her and willingly handed over their cell phones for her to call the police. "How do I unlock the cell phone?" Susu asked. "It requires fingerprint unlocking, you can use my finger," explained the kidnapper. "How do I use your finger? Chop it off?" Susu asked again. "No! No need to chop, it can be used while still attached to my hand!" the kidnapper wailed. Chop off a finger! What kind of thought process was that? Way too scary! Ever since the lucky-buff-carrying Susu had come to their home, the family's luck had improved, their business prospered more each day, and the previously naughty young masters had become much better behaved, truly a little lucky star. It was just that boy from the neighbor's house, who kept thinking about kidnapping Little Susu, causing the Qin Family men quite a bit of concern. Maybe they should just break his leg again?

There was no fixed standard for the number of words in short, medium, and long novels. It mainly depended on the plot, characters, theme, and other factors of the novel. Generally speaking, a novella had between 500,000 to 2 million words, while a novel had between 2 million to 6 million words. However, this was only the general range.
