One morning, when the sky was still slightly dark, a light shower drizzled down outside the window.
Chu You was awakened by the vibration of his phone. Upon looking at his phone, he realized that the notifications were from other banks transferring funds into his own personal account.
Looked like the business empire his parents had painstakingly built was starting to gradually crumble in Chu You’s hands.
Chu You was left in a trance looking at his phone’s screen, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. After taking a deep breath, he got out of his bed.
He walked to the kitchen and looked at the brand new cupboard, which looked as though it had not been affected by the smoke from the fumes during cooking. Chu You opened the fridge, and saw different variants of top-notch champagne and beer, however no vegetables and not even an egg could be found.
When he was in dire straits in his past life, this noble prince learned a lot of things and this included cooking.
Chu You sighed slightly. Some habits are hard to change.
How about going to the market to buy some vegetables?
Suddenly, Chu You was amused by this idea.
Since he already had the experience of leading an ordinary life, then let this ordinary life continue. At least before the game was officially launched online, wearing off the restlessness in his heart would be good too.
This was also a good opportunity for him to think about his next step. With this thought in mind, Chu You went out.
The scenery and mansions all around…everything looked so strange yet so familiar. Chu You arrived at a garage specially for parking cars. With the scanning of his fingerprint, the door to the garage slowly lifted up.
A Koenigsegg vehicle was parked quietly inside; there were merely ten other cars of the same model in the entire Huaxia district.
Or was he driving this car to do grocery shopping?
The car started, its rash nature awakened like an awakened dragon in the abyss. It opened its eyes, and let out long screeches resembling the cries of a dragon.
After setting up its data, this extremely attractive super racing car slowly drove out of the villa.
Every pedestrian along the way had their eyes fixated on the car.
The Koenigsegg drove onto the main street, gradually picking up speed. Chu You was somewhat unfamiliar with the car, but he continued to drive this car, which came to a stop when it wasn’t speeding, yet sped ferociously like a violent dragon when it was.
Chu You stepped all the way down on the accelerator, and four exhaust pipes immediately exploded with violent airflow, zooming away at lightning speed.
Time passed very quickly, when Chu You returned back to his mansion, it was already noon. He drove his car into the garage, and took out plastic bags filled with groceries from the front passenger seat. Chu You then returned home.
When he was still buying groceries at the market, Chu You received a call from the customer service, saying that his order of the exclusive top-notch gaming station Heaven was already delivered to his doorstep. Hence, Chu You’s long range anti-theft home control system allowed the door to be opened, to allow the personnel to set up the gaming cabin.
He went into the clean and spacious exquisite bedroom. With just one look, Chu You could tell where the futuristic looking gaming station was set up.
This thing could not be any more familiar to him. In his past life, Chu You had spent endless days and nights here.
After everything had been set up, Chu You lay down inside the station, and started to configure his identity.
In the process of gathering data…
Finished identifying the human DNA…
After completing the last segment, the screen changed. Chu You suddenly appeared on the city walls of an imposing skyscraper. Looking into the distance, there were seemingly never-ending lines of troops that went beyond the horizon, ready to attack the city. Looking at the neat and orderly troops, with murderous-looking abilities and drum beats which were jarring to one’s heart, a gush of zeal overwhelmed him from within.
Men should govern the country!!
“Chu You…once you appear here, you have already brought about karma with Heaven.” A firm voice fell from above.
“Ah! The ancient sacred emperor’s crown has still not been taken by anyone, you! Are you prepared and ready for the coronation?”
“Then, leave your footprints behind in this plane of existence that is filled with disputes!!”
At this moment, the style changed, the system’s icy dehumanized voice took on a different range.
“Please name your character…”
“Silent Night!” Chu You said lightly.
“Successful naming; this will be your exclusive name and account username in the game.”
“28th September of the year 2187 at approximately 10:00, Heaven officially starts, there are still 6 days, please wait patiently…”
The game logged out automatically at this moment, the top of the seamlessly connected gaming station slowly shrunk from all four directions, bolts of weak blue light irradiated from within.
Chu You stood up from the center, and experiencing it again after such a long time made Chu You feel very good. He strode towards the computer, and entered the official website.
At this moment, Chu You realized that in the credit adding chart, the number one in Hua Xia district had already added a total of 5 million. His name was ‘Only one mad about dominating.’
Chu You could recognize this person; he was the president of Long Shou Tian Xia trading council, a nouveau riche who was around forty years old, someone who was very capable.
Number two added 3.5 million, his name was Cun Manghuan. Chu You could not recall who this was even after racking his brain. This person was very unfamiliar.
However, looking at the changes in the credit adding chart, it looked like number one, ‘Only one mad about dominating,’ felt the threat of number two. A fight to catch up with one another had ensued through the amount of credit added by both parties.
Chu You took a deep breath; the moment to decide his fate was coming soon, and he clicked into the page for adding credits.
The amount that you want to top up is…?
Chu You realized that the highest amount to top up was 100 thousand, and he couldn’t help but feel slightly worried. He thought that there was not much time left for him, and he had to hurry up and add his credits.
Immediately, he typed in ‘100 000’ and pressed ‘confirm.’
The identification message appeared on his phone at this moment. Chu You punched in the verification numbers and lastly, he pressed enter.
Successful topping up the credits!
Chu You continued with a dull expression in his eyes…
…
One hour passed, Chu You looked at the time, then looked at the 3 million he had just topped up. Shaking his head, it looked like he would not be able to make his own lunch today.
He looked at the chart again; number one was still 5 million. Chu You smiled faintly. He had already chosen to hide, which meant no matter how much he topped up, it would never show up on the credit adding chart.
He had to be low-key, absolutely low-key. If not, when people found out that he invested such a large sum into the game which had not even launched, this may result in some sort of phenomenon which changed the past events.
Because the amount that Chu You wanted to top up would most definitely surprise everyone.
Continue on…
1.30pm, Chu You accumulated 4 million in total.
2.30pm, Chu You accumulated 6 million in total.
3.30pm, Chu You accumulated 9 million in total.
4.30pm, Chu You accumulated 14 million in total.
He couldn’t carry on anymore, he was too hungry. Chu You got up, and trotted to the kitchen to cook some noodles. The set of brand new cooking utensils was being used by its owner for the very first time.
Order delivery? To be honest, right now Chu You had no time to think about other things. When he was hungry, his first reaction was to cook for himself. During his dire straits in his past life, this went on for a few years.
Therefore some habits were really hard to change.
He hurriedly finished his noodles. The taste was bland, as he did not buy any seasonings or appetizer meat to add to his noodles.
He returned back to his computer, and he pondered it before deciding that he should work all night. Hence, he called his lifestyle assistant.
“Xiaozhou, help me buy some liquid medicine, those types that…”
After hanging up, Chu You continued again.
7.30 pm, Chu You accumulated twenty million in total…
Ding Dong! The doorbell rang, Chu You turned on the videocam, only to discover a woman with exceptional charisma standing outside his door. She looked roughly twenty-six or twenty-seven, and was in business attire, with a bag in her hands.
This woman was Chu You’s lifestyle assistant, and a tinge of complicatedness flashed before Chu You’s eyes. He pressed one of the buttons, and the door automatically opened.
Not too long after, a knock could be heard on the door to the room Chu You was in.
“Come in.”
The bedroom door opened, Chu You halted his job at hand, and laid his back on the authentic leather swivel chair. He turned to face the woman who just walked in.
To be honest, this woman’s looks were above average, and she had an alluring charm to her. She was Chu You’s handpicked lifestyle assistant.
She smiled at Chu You. “Brother You, I brought the things you want.” Her voice was pleasant to the ears, somewhat bewitching, with the feeling of wanting to carry it over to the bed.
“Just put the things there.” Chu You sounded dull, and there was no continuation after he finished that sentence.
The assistant put the things down. Her alluring small mouth pursed, she could not help but feel slightly odd. She thought that the Chu You at this point in time felt unfamiliar; he was not like this usually.
“Boss, do you need anything else?” the female assistant asked.
Chu You lowered his head and slightly lifted the corners of his mouth. He shook his head and looked at his assistant. “Nope, you can go back.”
She noticed the coldness of Chu You, and nodded her head, with some disappointment in her eyes, she exited the room. As she walked past the kitchen, she smelled something, her curiosity nudging her to walk in.
Being quite experienced, she could tell that these kitchen utensils had already been used at one glance. This was because it had all been brand new before this.
Astonished, this pretty female assistant turned her head back to look at the room Chu You was in. With some pondering, she left.
From the videocam, Chu You saw the female assistant leaving the mansion. He could not help but feel a sigh of relief, shaking his head. Back to adding credit!!
At 10 pm, Chu You had accumulated a total of 37 million…
Again!!
It was already three in the wee hours of the morning. The night was deep and quiet. Chu You rubbed his sore neck, moving his head as well to soothe the fatigue in his body.
At this point in time, Chu You had already accumulated seventy-five million worth of credit.
From the point of view of others, this was absolutely nuts. Anyone with a normal level of intelligence would never do something like this.
Only Chu You knew that if he did not top up the exorbitant amount on his card within these few days, once the game started, he would no longer be able to top up any more credits. This was because the control center would automatically realize this, and then he could wait for the day his money became scrap paper.
The pain that was etched deeply in his memory…Chu You did not want to repeat it for a second time.
He was too tired, his eyes struggling to stay open. It had been so long since Chu You pulled an all-nighter. He glanced at the things his assistant had bought, and decided that it was time to use them.
This was a type of green liquid medication. Chu You poured this into the bathtub, which was filled with warm water. He pulled down his pants, and laid his entire body in.
This sort of liquid medication was extremely expensive. It helps to treat the fatigue in the body. Its results were fast and good; it was just that it couldn’t be used too often.
When Chu You appeared in front of the computer again, he was full of zest; no signs of fatigue could be seen.
Unknowingly, the morning chirping of birds could be heard from outside.
Chu You lit up a cigarette. He rarely smoked. Even in his past life he did not smoke too much, but he did smoke sometimes.
He took a look at the credit adding record; he had already added a total of 30 million.
Chu You had not counted before, so he did not know that for 130 million worth of credit, that was about 50 million more than the sum of all the amounts on the global credit top-up list.
There were about five days left until the launching of the game, so he had to hurry up. Chu You looked at the early morning outside his window, and forcefully extinguished his cigarette.
