My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

Chen Xiao looked at the balance of over a trillion, and this was only the portion belonging to Xiang Jun.

He still has 2000 billion Chinese yuan and more than 40 billion US dollars in his own account.
At this moment, I really want to sing a song: "Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow turns my hair white..."

"My only worry is that my pockets are so full of cash..."

"When will this ever end...?"

Just as Chen Xiao was immersed in the sweet troubles of this "trillion-level" wealth, lamenting how "spending money is not easy" in life—

"Huh? Boss!"

Zhang Ziqian, who was beside her, suddenly gasped softly. She was browsing something on her tablet, a hint of surprised interest on her face.

"Boss, look! People are talking about you on the gaming forums! And it's getting pretty popular!"

"Talking about me?"

Chen Xiao was pulled back to reality from his thoughts of "worrying about how to spend the money," and raised his eyebrows slightly, looking somewhat surprised.

Why would he be surrounded and talked about just for playing a game?

He immediately became interested and temporarily put aside the "worry about spending money".

What are they talking about me about?

As he asked the question, he quickly tapped his finger to access the game's built-in forum on the tablet.

really!

On the forum's homepage, in the "Player Focus" section, a series of post titles marked with exclamation marks and expressions of admiration suddenly caught the eye!

The top-pinned post in red:
[Wow! [King of the World] You are the master! I bow down to you three times a day! Once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening! You are my guiding light on my gaming journey! [Kneeling][Kneeling][Kneeling]]

(Posted by: A humble newbie)
Following closely behind:

[Rational discussion! Will the top spender in "King of the World" become the biggest whale in the game's history? He seems to have unlimited potential! [Shocked][Eating popcorn]]

(Posted by: Data Emperor)

The next point is backed by official data:

[Latest Top Spender Ranking Report! Mysterious whale [Junlin Tianxia] has spent nearly 300 million RMB in just one week! He's stormed into third place on the server-wide top spender ranking! [Rockets][Rockets][Rockets]]

(Posted by: Game Expert)

The very bottom one is filled with the simple, unpretentious curiosity and awe of the common people:

[[Ruling the World] Boss! Just wondering, how many gold mines are there in your world?! [Starry-eyed][Curious]]

(Posted by: Mining Expert)

The replies to these posts have already exploded!
Uniform worship:

"Holy crap! Three million in one week!?"

"They must be rolling in money!"

"Does this big shot need another accessory on his leg? Someone with a college degree, no less!"

"【Reign Supreme】YYDS! This ID truly lives up to its name!"

"Looking for an expert to do a live stream and teach us how to mine (in the physical sense)!"

"Worship the super-rich tycoon! Does this big shot need a gaming partner? I have a cute, loli voice!"

……

The forum was filled with an almost fanatical awe and worship of the power of wealth! The ID "[Reign Supreme]" had become a new legend in this virtual world in just one week, thanks to its crazy spending of real money!
The saying goes, "In literature, there is no first place; in wealth, there is no second!"

In this virtual world of money, every top spender has their own fervent followers, all of whom firmly believe that the big spender they follow is the true uncrowned king of wealth and the strongest benefactor in the game!

Below the post about the powerful rise of "[King of the World]", the debate has already reached a fever pitch, with the air thick with tension:

An ID displaying the badge of the "Walking the Monkey" fan club mocked with an air of superiority:
"300 million? Ha! You dare to brag about such a small amount? Our [Monkey Walker] leader's total spending has already surpassed 500 million! Do you even know what a gap is? The difference between third and second place isn't just one rank, it's a full 200 ​​million! That's an astronomical figure that many people couldn't accumulate even if they worked their whole lives without eating or drinking!"

The post quickly attracted a group of fans of "walking the monkey" (a euphemism for walking a monkey), who echoed the sentiment, and the number of likes soared.

Another post cheering for "Dream Immortal" went viral:

"Hey, new fan of 'Reign Supreme,' don't get too cocky! Ask your boss if he's as rich as our 'Dream Immortal.' Our boss has already spent over 800 million real money in this game! That's a true tycoon!"

The comments section below the post was packed with people, with replies piling up like a towering tower. There were die-hard fans of "Dream Immortal" enthusiastically praising it, passersby marveling at the staggering number of 800 million, and of course, there were also those just watching the spectacle and making a fuss.

On a whim, with a mischievous intent, he casually left a comment under the post that lavishly praised "Dream Immortal":

How rich is he?

Immediately afterward, he typed another line, his tone calm yet arrogant and domineering:

"No matter how rich someone is, they're not as rich as me—"

After posting the message, he wasn't finished. A playful smile curved his lips, and he quickly added another sentence, which was the real trigger:

"P.S.: The 'he' I'm referring to is not the [Dream Immortal]..."

He paused deliberately, as if he could see countless people on the other side of the screen holding their breath.
"I'm referring to everyone here."

Little did they know that [君临天下]'s comment under the post praising [梦之仙人] was tantamount to inciting conflict.

The post exploded instantly!

Chen Xiao's comment, like a spotlight, was immediately pushed to the very top of the comment section by angry fans of "Dream Immortal" and countless onlookers who loved a good show!

"Holy crap!!! [Reign Supreme]??? You're so arrogant!!"

"Where did this nouveau riche bumpkin come from? Daring to act wildly under our Immortal Brother's post?!"

"Hilarious! A third-place player dares to challenge the top spender in the entire server? Who gave you the courage? Fish Leong?!"

"Everyone here? Ha, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew! Do you know how much that 'Dream Immortal' player has spent? 800 million! Who do you think you are?!"

Fans of "Dream Immortal" were outraged, and a flood of sarcasm, insults, and memes poured in, instantly drowning Chen Xiao's comment in a torrent of abuse.

Of course, there are also a few scattered fans of "King of the World" (most of whom are casual fans who were attracted by his extravagance in the past two days) who are fighting back and defending him:
"What are you so arrogant about? Our Brother Tianxia makes three million a week, and his momentum is incredible!"

"Exactly! Maybe Brother Tianxia will surpass you immortals tomorrow!"

But their voices sounded incredibly weak amidst the surging wave of condemnation.

The forum was in an uproar!
A large number of onlookers, like sharks smelling blood, flooded into the post!

"Fight! Fight!"

"Sold sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water in the front row!"

"Opening call! [Reign Supreme] VS [Dream Immortal], who's the real tycoon?" "Waiting for [Reign Supreme] to be slapped in the face! Waiting for the tycoon to slap him with money!"

"Where is [Ruling the World]? Did he just run away after making those threats? Did he chicken out?"

At that moment, someone suddenly commented on the comment section of "[Reign Supreme]"—"I'm talking about everyone here."—"What about me?"

Commenter: [Qinzhou's Light]

There are no superfluous symbols, no exaggerated expressions, only three cold Chinese characters and a question mark, yet it exudes a condescending scrutiny and an undisguised confrontation!

"【The Light of Qin Prefecture】? Who is that?"

"Holy crap! How dare they talk to the big boss of [Reign Supreme] like that? Are they tired of living?"

"Another one who doesn't know his own limitations?"

The initial doubts and ridicule hadn't even had time to develop—

"Shut up! You idiot upstairs, stop yelling!"

An ID that seemed to know the inside story immediately jumped out, its tone filled with fear and urgency:

"【Qin Zhou Zhi Guang】 is a top player! He's only been in the server for less than a month! And he's already ranked fifth on the server's spending leaderboard! He's spent 260 million!"

This information sent chills down many people's spines!
One month! 260 million! Fifth place!
This is definitely another heavyweight whale!

But then, the whistleblower's next sentence, like a depth charge, completely stunned all the onlookers:
"The key point is!!! Do you know who this big shot is?! He's Zhao Lei! The only son of Zhao Zhigang, the richest man in Qinzhou!!!"

After a brief silence, an even more frenzied explosion erupted!
"Zhao Lei??? Is it really that Zhao Lei???"

"Holy crap!!! The Zhao family of Qinzhou! Zhao Zhigang's son!!"

"Oh my god!!! It was him! No wonder he's the rich kid who can spend 260 million a month on mobile games without batting an eye!"

"Young Master Zhao!!! I'm bowing down in utter admiration! You spent a whopping 5000 million on the online game 'XX' before! My god! It turns out a tycoon like you is right here among us!"

"My goodness! The Zhao family has assets worth tens of billions! They're strategic partners with the Guo family of Hong Kong! A true top-tier tycoon! I never thought I'd encounter such a god-level player while playing a mobile game!"

"Mr. Zhao! I was blind to your greatness just now! Please, make yourself at home!"

The wind direction changed dramatically again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The name Zhao Lei represents not only personal wealth, but also a behemoth with a deep-rooted foundation—the Zhao family of Qinzhou! Their assets, amounting to tens of billions, are enough to make any so-called "individual tycoon" appear insignificant!

Those fans who were enthusiastically praising "Ruling the World" and even harshly criticizing "Dream Immortal" and "Monkey Walker" just a moment ago are now like ducks with their necks being choked, all their voices have come to an abrupt halt!

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao was in the small conference room next door, having a long phone conversation with Zhao Xiangjun.

The space here is small but exquisitely furnished, with excellent soundproofing, completely isolating it from the noise of the outside world.

After a brief pause, the call was connected.

Zhao Xiangjun's unique, clear, and cool voice came through the receiver, like a mountain spring:
Zhao Xiangjun: Chen Xiao, aren't you on a plane? Why are you calling me now?
Upon hearing her voice, Chen Xiao's lips involuntarily curved into a gentle, slightly childlike, and dependent smile.
"Oh dear, my darling Xiangjun—"

His voice was deliberately drawn out, with an exaggerated sweetness, yet it couldn't conceal the genuine intimacy from within:

"It's not that I... I feel like I've missed you for a long time if I don't see you for a while. I can't sit still on the plane. I have to hear your voice to feel at ease!"

Zhao Xiangjun: Chen Xiao, I really want to believe what you said, but my reason tells me that the truth is not like that.

puff!

Chen Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing!
Xiangjun is always like this, incisive and merciless in exposing his exaggerated performances.

"Hahaha!" he laughed heartily, then asked with great interest:
"So what exactly is the 'truth' that reason tells you?"

Zhao Xiangjun's voice was clear and firm, carrying a knowing tone that implied, "I don't know you yet."

"The truth is..."

She deliberately slowed her speech, emphasizing each word:
"You're—going—crazy—again!"

This time, Chen Xiao was speechless. Xiang Jun was right; he really had gone mad. Xiang Jun had suddenly gifted him 6000 billion; it was only because he had seen so much money that he could remain so calm.

Anyone else would go crazy! This is way more absurd than "Fan Jin passing the imperial examination".

Zhao Xiangjun, on the other end of the phone, seemed to sense his embarrassment even through the airwaves; her cool voice carried a knowing chuckle.

"How about that, Chen Xiao? I told you so, didn't I???"

His tone carried a hint of smugness and mischief.

Chen Xiao:
Just as Chen Xiao was pondering how to "save face" for himself, Zhao Xiangjun's voice came again.

This time, a rare touch of extremely soft, almost sighing warmth crept into that cool voice:

"Actually..."

Her voice was soft, yet it possessed a strange penetrating power, reaching straight to the softest corner of Chen Xiao's heart:
"Don't feel embarrassed..."

She paused, as if choosing the words that best expressed her feelings:

"I know..."

Even if you're crazy...

"She only goes crazy for me..."

Her voice carried a unique, almost cherished, indulgent quality:
"This...is my honor!!!"

Chen Xiao was taken aback, then felt a warmth in his heart. Wasn't that right? All the irrational things he had done, all his "madness," all his "madness," all his "neuroticism"...

He would only reveal everything to Zhao Xiangjun without reservation! She was his anchor, his harbor, and the only absolutely safe zone where he could be the "real Chen Xiao" without any restraint!
How could this be considered an honor for her?

This is clearly the greatest luck and blessing in Chen Xiao's life!
The small conference room was completely silent.

Outside the window, a vast sea of ​​clouds stretches for miles.

The only sounds on the satellite phone were their faint breathing.

Holding the phone, Chen Xiao felt the warmth that transcended space and the resonance deep in his soul, remaining silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiangjun exclaimed "Huh?" and then said, "Chen Xiao, a former colleague of mine called me. I'll answer it—"

"Hmm—I'll be arriving in Qinzhou soon too. I'll video call you later."

After ending the call, Chen Xiao walked out with a satisfied look on his face. Sometimes, just hearing her voice and feeling that unique understanding and acceptance was enough to wash away all the hustle and bustle, making him feel incredibly grounded and comfortable. It was as if his soul had become lighter.

He had just stepped back into the spacious main cabin area—

"Boss! Boss—!"

Zhang Ziqian's clear, slightly urgent voice rang out immediately, like a pebble breaking the surface of still water. (End of Chapter)
