Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed.

Zhou Ming is nearly 120 years old.

Of course, due to proper maintenance and the effect of the medicine, he still looks only in his early thirties.

Although there have been some twists and turns in the past forty years, overall, it is relatively stable.

Life is prosperous and stable, career is prosperous, family is happy and beautiful... Most of the difficulties and challenges encountered are overcome without any danger.

Time is money. During these forty years, Zhou Ming has 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 yuan has increased...it has probably doubled and a half times.

His net worth has also risen from the original third place to the second place in the wealth list in the upper level.

There is still a billion dollars left before the first place.

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

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

Part of the reason why Zhou Ming's wealth 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, earning 1.1 billion yuan.

The remaining 800 million yuan is basically earned by the betting game "Arrival"... However, this game only made a lot in the first few years, and various similar Advent games later on emerged like mushrooms after a rain, resulting in the profits of "Arrival" getting worse every year.

Later, because the total money bet by players in each game was less than 5 million, after deducting all expenses, it was almost profitable, so it simply stopped operating.

"Arrival" is the first game in the history of the upper-level game where players can "arrival" on players. From the beginning to the decline in the later stage, it has only been thirty years.

In fact, over the years, not only the game "Arrival" has fallen into business difficulties, but classic old games such as "Death Game", "The Hunger Game", "Death Speed" in the upper level have also fallen into difficulties.

There are more than a dozen niche games, such as "Survival of the Desert Island", "The Brave of the Maze", etc., which went bankrupt one after another.

The game industry in the entire upper-level area has fallen into a full-scale depression and a downturn.

In addition to the gaming industry, even the casino industry, which has always been popular, has also been declining year by year, and dozens of small casinos have successively collapsed.

In addition, in people's work and life, a large number of companies lay off employees, wage levels declined, deflation, and prices plummeted. Many restaurants have successively launched discount activities of "1 money, eat for 3 days in a row", and many home appliance and furniture companies have also launched discount packages such as "buy one get one get one", "buy one get three get one" and "buy one get three get one" and other discount packages.

In short, the feeling that these forty years is that the money circulated on the market has become less.

In contrast, in the wealth list of the upper-level gaming system, four wealthy people with a net worth of over 1 billion yuan are increasing every year.

Only increase but not decrease.

"It's time to reshuffle again."

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

"I feel that Ren Lifu is more likely to win. He has experienced two final games, but the result is always a little bit short of it... This time, he has a great advantage!"

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

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

...

The northernmost end of Paradise Island, the 40th area.

In a birch forest, a quaint and old castle with green moss on the exterior.

The top floor of the castle.

An old man sat upright above the gambling table in the game hall, facing the cards, dice, chips and various five-shot game tools in front of him, with expressionless face, slightly closed eyes, and fell into deep thought.

a long time.

As the eyelids moved, wave-like wrinkles appeared, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes became more obvious.

The old man's eyes opened.

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

"No next time!"

"Win, the highest positions will have my place."

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

"I, I will never believe that I cannot dominate this world!"

The old man muttered himself, his tone was cold and cold, and his eyes were filled with fierce and fierce light!

Ren Lifu.

This old man is Ren Lifu who is talking about privately.

He is on the wealth list of the game system. In the past hundred years, Ren Lifu, the richest man who has been ranked first!

He is 296 years old this year, and there are only four years left before the maximum allowable life limit.

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

If he does not seize this last opportunity in the past four years, what awaits him will be the bottomless abyss.

So even though his clamor was extremely powerful, he knew very well: if he lost, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless; no matter how hard he tried, it would be just a matter of burying someone with him, making the process of his death more lively.

In fact, in his nearly three hundred years of life, he had been infinitely close to the pinnacle of success, but these two times were only a little bit behind. Just a slight slightest, he passed by success and was ruthlessly defeated by the losers.

Those two times, he would have been taken away by the cleared ones, but out of sympathy and pity for the weak, the two successful ones generously rewarded him with 100 yuan, asking him to continue working hard, continue to survive, and continue to accumulate money... looking forward to a change in luck.

This humiliation is deeply engraved in his heart and will never be forgotten.

He swore that he would go to that place, stand in front of the two people who had defeated him, clear them to humiliate them ten times or hundreds of times.

Then kill them, chop them up and grind them into powder.

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

but……

These wishes are beautiful. If you want to "remind the past" with those old opponents and fulfill your long-cherished wish that has been accumulated for nearly 200 years... it is all based on a "prerequisite".

Sweep across the upper area and win the "final game"!

"I will win, I will definitely win!"

Ren Lifu recited it silently twice in his heart, clenched his fists, and his whole body was filled with unprecedented fighting spirit!

...

Two months later.

Two things happened in the upper area one after another, shocking the whole area.

Earl Lei Yaojin, who lives in the 05th area of ​​Paradise Island, and Earl Wang Shicong, who lives in the 31st area of ​​Paradise Island, were shattered in zero in less than a week, and all his wealth was owned by others.

These two counts are the super richest people ranked third and fourth on the game system wealth list.

Their net worth is over 1 billion yuan.

Now, these two super rich men who are arrogant have become zero-returners with a net worth of 0, their families are destroyed and their families are both dead.

Earl Lei Yaojin was beaten to death because he refused to admit defeat and tried to resist. Wang Shicong knelt down and admitted defeat and begged to let go, but was still killed... The two super rich men, after the zeroing, could not even enjoy the treatment of those who were cleared away.

Ren Lifu!

The people who did these two sensational things in the upper level were Ren Lifu, who took the huge robot army and rode thousands of planes, first eliminated all potential resistance, then dragged the two rich people into the game hall, forcing a zero-sum game, and finally won the game!

In more than a week, Ren Lifu's personal assets suddenly increased from 4.347 billion yuan to 6.912 billion yuan.

The goal number that Ren Lifu expected is only more than 3 billion.

On the wealth list, the total assets of the second-ranked person is exactly 3.367 billion yuan. If he is zeroed, not only will the money be enough, but he will also have a slight surplus.

At this time, logic is that Ren Lifu should have brought his huge robot army to the 11th area of ​​Paradise Island, eliminated all resistance, and then found the guy named Zhao, dragged it into the game hall, and then had a "final game" with him.

but--

When he was about to start, Ren Lifu hesitated.

Second place.

Damn second place!

In the first two times, he lost to the second place, which led to him being extremely sensitive to the second place and even a little scared.

A thick shadow was left in my heart.

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

"You can't find trouble with the second place. Just bypass the second place for the time being and avoid fighting with the second place!"

Learning from one mistake and learning from another, two consecutive lessons made Ren Lifu's worry about the second place to a point where he was afraid of the rope for a hundred years.

People cannot fall into a pit three times in a row. For the second place, a "curse", Ren Lifu doesn't want to be entangled anymore, or experience it. The goddess of luck just doesn't care about him.

"The second place is put, and we will first attack the others to see if we can get so much money."

So, in more than a month, Ren Lifu led his huge machine army to sweep all the wealthy tycoons, ranking fifth to twenty on the wealth list, and threatened to kill all the rich families without playing games, and deprive all the wealth of these 16 rich tycoons of their own hands.
