Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, forty years passed.

Zhou Ming is nearly 120 years old.

Of course, due to proper maintenance and the effects of medication, he still looks like he is in his early thirties.

In the past forty years, although there have been some twists and turns, overall, it has been relatively stable.

A prosperous and stable life, a prosperous career, a happy and beautiful family... Most of the difficulties and challenges encountered were overcome without any danger.

Time is money. During these forty years, Zhou Ming not only increased his age, but also his wealth.

His wealth has expanded from 1.478 billion yuan to 3.367 billion yuan.

A total of 1.9 billion money has been added... about one and a half times.

His worth has also risen one place from the original third place to the second place in the upper-class wealth list.

There is still a billion dollars left between first place.

The growth rate of Zhou Ming's net worth is actually very fast, because there are only four people on the wealth list with a net worth of more than one billion.

The remaining 16 people ranked fifth to twentieth have an average net worth of less than 200 million.

Part of the reason why Zhou Ming's net worth has grown so fast is that in the past forty years, he has played 3 zero-sum and 7 non-zero-sum games with others, winning all of them and earning 1.1 billion.

The remaining 800 million money was basically earned from the betting game "Advent"... However, this game made more money in the first few years. In the later period, various similar Advent games sprung up. This has caused the profits of "Arrival" to decline year by year.

In the later period, because the total amount of money bet by players in each game was less than 5 million, after deducting various expenses, it was almost unprofitable, so the operation was simply stopped.

"Arrival" is the first epoch-making game in the history of upper-tier games where players can "arrive" to players. From its initial popularity to its later decline, it only lasted thirty years.

In fact, over the years, not only the game "Arrival" has been in operating difficulties, but classic old games such as "Game of Death", "The Hunger Games", "Death Race" and other upper-level games have also been in trouble.

There are more than a dozen relatively niche games, such as "Desert Island Survival", "Maze Brave", etc., that have gone bankrupt.

The gaming industry in the entire upper-class area has fallen into a comprehensive depression and downturn.

In addition to the gaming industry, even the casino industry, which has always been booming, has seen a decline in customer traffic and profits year after year, and dozens of small casinos have closed down one after another.

In addition, in terms of people's work and life, a large number of companies have laid off employees, wages have dropped, deflation has plummeted, and prices have plummeted. Many restaurants have successively launched "1 money, eat for 3 days" promotions, and many home appliance and furniture companies have They have also launched "buy one get one free", "buy one get three free" and other preferential packages.

In short, the feeling over the past forty years is that there is less money circulating in the market.

In contrast, in the wealth list of the upper-level district gaming system, there are four rich people with a net worth of over 1 billion, and their wealth is increasing every year.

Only increase, not decrease.

"It's time to reshuffle the cards again."

"Once every hundred years, I wonder who can win this time?"

"I feel that Ren Lifu has a higher chance of winning. He has gone through two final games, and the results are always a little bit close... This time, he has a huge advantage!"

"Yes, it was a pity that he lost those two times, just a little bit short. This time, I believe he will definitely win!"

In many corners of the upper-level area, some voices of discussion, such as "reshuffle", "Ren Lifu", "final game" and other words, began to appear frequently and become popular.

…

The northernmost point of Paradise Island, Area 40.

In a birch forest, there is a simple and old castle with an outer wall covered with green moss.

The top floor of the castle.

An old man, sitting on top of the gaming table in the gaming hall, facing the cards, dice, chips and various gaming tools in front of him, his face expressionless, his eyes slightly closed, and he fell into In deep thought.

a long time.

As soon as his eyelids moved, a wave of wrinkles appeared, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.

The old man opened his eyes.

"It's been 296 years and this is my last chance."

"There won't be a next time!"

"If I win, I will have a place in the highest positions."

"If you lose, destroy this world first before destroying yourself!"

"I never believe that I can't dominate this world!"

The old man's muttering was in a cold and cold tone, and his eyes shot out a fierce light!

Ren Lifu.

This old man is Ren Lifu, whom people talk about and talk about in private.

He is Ren Lifu, the richest man on the wealth list of the gaming system, who has been ranked first for nearly a hundred years!

He is 296 years old this year and has only four years left before the maximum allowed life span.

In other words, there are only four years left for Ren Lifu.

In the past four years, if he did not seize this last opportunity, what awaited him would be a bottomless abyss.

So even though he was shouting loudly, he knew very well in his heart: if he loses, no matter how hard he struggles, it will be in vain; no matter how hard he destroys, he will only bring some people to be buried with him, making the process of his death more exciting. Just a little.

In fact, in his long life of nearly three hundred years, there were two times when he was infinitely close to the pinnacle of success, but both times, he missed success by just a tiny bit. After passing by, he was ruthlessly classified as a loser.

On those two occasions, he would have been taken away by the liquidators, but out of sympathy and pity for the weak, the two successful people generously rewarded him with 100 gold, telling him to continue to work hard, continue to survive, and continue to live. Save money...and expect your luck to change.

This humiliation was deeply etched in his heart and he would never forget it.

He vowed that he would definitely go to that place, stand in front of the two people who defeated him, wipe them out, and then humiliate them ten times or a hundred times.

They are then killed, minced, and ground into powder.

He wants them to realize that giving him a chance to make a comeback is the biggest mistake they have ever made!

but……

These wishes are beautiful. To "remember the past" with those old opponents and fulfill the long-cherished wish that has been in my heart for nearly 200 years... it is all based on a "premise".

Sweep the upper zone and win the "final game"!

"I will win, I will definitely win!"

Ren Lifu recited it twice in his mind, clenched his fists, and was filled with unprecedented fighting spirit!

…

Two months later.

Two things happened in the upper area that shocked the whole area.

Earl Lei Yaojin, who lived in Area 05 of Paradise Island, and Earl Wang Shicong, who lived in Area 31 of Paradise Island, were wiped out one after another within less than a week, and all their wealth was owned by others.

And these two earls are the third and fourth super rich people on the wealth list of the gaming system.

Their net worth exceeds 1 billion.

Now, these two super rich people have become zero net worth, their families are ruined, and both of them are dead.

Count Lei Yaojin was beaten to death because he refused to admit defeat and tried to resist. Wang Shicong knelt down to admit defeat and begged to be spared, but was still beaten to pieces... The two super rich people, after being cleared, were even taken away by the cleared ones. You can't even enjoy the benefits.

Ren Lifu!

The people who caused these two sensational things in the upper-class area were the ones who brought the huge army of robots on thousands of planes and arrived in overwhelming numbers. After first eliminating all potential resistance, they dragged the two rich men into the gaming hall and forced them to A zero-sum game occurred and Ren Lifu finally won the game!

In just over a week, Ren Lifu's personal assets suddenly increased from 4.347 billion to 6.912 billion.

It is only about 3 billion short of the target figure expected by Ren Lifu.

On the wealth list, the total asset value of the second-ranked person is exactly 3.367 billion. If he were reset to zero, not only would he have enough money, but he would also have a slight surplus.

At this time, it stands to reason that Ren Lifu should bring his huge robot army to the 11th area of ​​Paradise Island. After eliminating all resistance, he should find out the guy named Zhao, drag him into the game hall, and then have a "game" with him. The ultimate game.”

but--

When he was about to take action, Ren Lifu hesitated.

Second place.

Damn second place!

In the first two times, he lost to the second place. As a result, now he is extremely sensitive to the second place, and even a little afraid.

A thick shadow was left in my heart.

The second place seems to be his natural enemy of the first place, and his natural enemy in the last level!

"Don't cause trouble for the second place. Let's bypass the second place for now and avoid fighting with the second place!"

A lesson learned twice in a row made Ren Lifu worried about second place, to the point where he was afraid of the ropes.

One cannot fall down in a pit three times in a row. Ren Lifu does not want to be entangled with the existence of the second place like a "curse", and does not want to experience the feeling that the goddess of luck just does not favor him.

"Let the second place go and attack the others first to see if we can get that much money."

So, within more than a month, Ren Lifu led his huge machine army and swept through all the rich people ranked fifth to twentieth on the wealth list, threatening to kill all the families of these rich people without engaging in a game. , deprived these 16 rich people of all their wealth into their own hands.

Then it took another month to deprive dozens of small and medium-sized rich people who were ranked between 21st and 100th with only a few hundred or tens of millions of money.

Ren Lifu's total assets have reached 10.501 billion yuan.

achieved his goal.

So, Ren Lifu sent someone to say hello and warned the person not to interfere. After Ren Lifu came to the resource exchange in the game city, he looked at the resources on the information panel and prepared to purchase them at a higher price:

120 cities in District 52.

51 ground floor areas.

40 plots of land on Paradise Island.

About 70% of these resources are in the hands of Ren Lifu.

The remaining 30% is in the hands of another person.

These 30% resources require exactly 500 million dollars to purchase...as long as the other party doesn't raise the price.

"The other party followed the price of 100,000, and the resource purchase failed. Do you want to increase the price again?"

"The price increase of 100,000 was successful! The other party followed the price, but the resource purchase failed. Do you want to increase the price again?"

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Ren Lifu's fist hit the table hard, his teeth clenched, and there was real anger in his eyes, and he roared wildly: "Zhao Yu, it's you who are looking for death, it's you who are looking for death!"

"I will grind your flesh into crumbs, and I will grind your bones into powder!"

"I will kill every one of your family and friends, no one will be left alive!"

"You forced me, you forced me!"

"Machine Legion, let's go!"

Buzz buzz~

On the huge field, thousands of large transport planes started the turbine engines under the belly of the aircraft, sprayed out powerful airflow, and carried a force of 100,000 armed robots, covering the sky and the sun, heading towards the 11th area of ​​Paradise Island.

This time, no matter whether he wins or loses, the guy in second place must die completely!

This time, he will never allow anyone to step on his shoulders again!
