Chapter 73 The arrogant heiress tried to shower me with money, but after seeing my zero-sum game, sh
The black and gold-rimmed bank card, representing endless wealth, was slapped onto Ma Hualong's slightly chubby face.
Ma Hualong, who was holding a thermos filled with mutated goji berries, was so startled by the sudden attack that he shrank back.
He looked down at the black card that had fallen to the ground and was covered in mud and dust, a mocking sneer flashing in his eyes.
The heiress, dressed in a Parisian haute couture evening gown, crossed her arms and held her chin almost to the sky.
Her name is Ouyang Xue, and she is the sole heir of a secretive old money family overseas that has controlled the energy lifeline for half a century.
Ouyang Xue, wearing twelve-centimeter diamond-encrusted high heels, spoke with a condescending air of condescension.
Tell your boss to come out and see me. Swipe this card as much as you want. I want to buy out that holographic simulation technology that can resurrect the dead.
If he's willing, I could even mercifully spend 100 billion to buy this dilapidated mountain, ensuring he'll be well-fed and clothed for the rest of his life.
Ma Hualong looked at the arrogant young lady as if she were a fool, and slowly bent down to pick up the black card.
He, the former richest man in Shanghai, is now fighting tooth and nail to be a security guard in this Qingshui Divine Kingdom. What is a hundred billion?
Ma Hualong blew on the steam from the thermos and tossed the black card back to Ouyang Xue's feet like trash.
Little girl, I advise you to take these scraps of paper and go home to find your mother. Don't disturb our boss's afternoon nap.
This was the first time in Ouyang Xue's life that she had been rejected, and her delicate face twisted in anger for a moment.
The twelve bodyguards in black behind her immediately stepped forward, forming a wall of flesh, as if they were ready to demolish the door at the slightest provocation.
Zhou Bapi and his patrol team rushed over upon hearing the commotion, their high-voltage electric batons crackling as they pressed them.
Aunt Li also waved her red ribbon and came over to watch the excitement, cracking sunflower seeds and pointing at the row of Rolls-Royces.
Which nouveau riche's silly daughter is this, running wild in our Leisure God's territory?
At this moment, in the manor suspended 10,000 meters in the air, Lin Xian was lying on a zero-gravity waterbed playing a two-player online game with Xia Anran.
Hearing the arrogant female voice coming from the holographic walkie-talkie, his game controller paused for a moment, and the character on the screen was immediately knocked to the ground by the monsters.
Xia Anran pouted her pink lips and gently rubbed Lin Xian's fingers, which were red from being pressed against the handle, with a touch of heartache.
Hey, that woman outside is really fierce. She's always trying to throw money at people.
Su Qinghan walked in carrying a plate of sliced mutated cantaloupe and let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
Throwing money at our Qingshui Special Economic Zone is like pouring a glass of water into the Pacific Ocean and saying you want to drown a whale.
Lin Xian yawned, not even bothering to come downstairs and show his face, and snapped his fingers at the air.
Butler, turn on the holographic welcome screen outside the gate and show her my private account balance so she can broaden her horizons.
Upon receiving the command, a visible blue energy ripple instantly spread across the white marble plaza outside the gate.
A deep blue holographic virtual projection screen, as tall as a three-story building, suddenly unfolded above Ouyang Xue's head.
There were no warning messages displayed on the screen; it simply showed Lin Xian's system-specific funds account in a cold, impersonal way.
That's an exaggerated number so long that just looking at it can trigger trypophobia.
The unit preceding the numbers directly surpasses the trillion level, reaching a dimension that the Earth's financial system simply cannot settle.
Ouyang Xue tilted her proud face up and stared intently at the long string of zeros arranged in two rows on the screen.
Her top-notch mental arithmetic skills from Harvard Business School, which she was so proud of, were like a frozen old computer, completely crashing at this moment.
Ten zeros, twenty zeros, thirty zeros...
As Ouyang Xue counted, her heart beat faster and faster. Towards the end, she saw blurry, double images appearing before her eyes.
The 100 billion yuan in acquisition funds she brought is nothing compared to this string of numbers; it's not even a speck of dust after the decimal point.
This is wealth that no human society could possibly possess. Even if you sold the entire Milky Way, you probably wouldn't even be able to scrape together a fraction of this amount.
Ouyang Xue's legs went weak, her priceless crystal high heels wobbled, and she collapsed to the ground in a completely unladylike manner.
Her proud self-esteem, nurtured by money for over twenty years, was crushed into shards of glass by this string of numbers.
She thought money could buy everything in the world, but the loose change that others used to prop up the corner of a table could have crushed her family ten thousand times over.
The twelve top bodyguards following behind were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and they were too exhausted to even help their master.
Ma Hualong squatted at the entrance of the guard post, looking at the young lady who was slumped on the ground, his fat face shaking with laughter.
I told you long ago, bringing a hundred billion to our village to pretend to be a tycoon, your skin is thicker than a city wall.
Zhou Bapi laughed even more unrestrainedly, slapping his thigh and beckoning his brothers to come and see the spectacle.
Ouyang Xue sat on the ground for a long time before she regained a sliver of rationality from the suffocating feeling of her worldview collapsing.
Looking at the sci-fi manor suspended ten thousand meters in the air, the arrogance in her eyes vanished completely, replaced by a fervent, pilgrimage-like light.
She ripped off the pink diamond necklace worth hundreds of millions from her neck and casually tossed it into the nearby bushes.
Then, she tore apart the restrictive Parisian haute couture evening gown she was wearing, leaving only a silk slip dress underneath.
The bodyguards were shocked and tried to step forward to stop them, but Ouyang Xue glared at them fiercely and stopped them all.
All of you, get back to your families and tell those old men that I'm never going back in this lifetime!
Ouyang Xue walked barefoot on the cement ground and strode over to a smart robot that was sweeping fallen leaves.
She snatched the broom from the robot's hand and, with clumsy yet incredibly earnest movements, began sweeping the dust from the floor.
I used to only know how to buy lives with money, but after seeing Mr. Lin's level of understanding today, I finally know what it means to regard money as dirt.
I want to stay here as a low-level cleaner and experience the true meaning of wealth in this wonderful land!
Ma Hualong's hand holding the thermos cup trembled slightly. Do rich young ladies these days like to play this kind of self-inflicted injury trick when they're upset?
Su Qinghan watched this scene through the monitor, placed the tablet on the table, and a cold smile that seemed to see through everything curled at the corner of her lips.
She calls it understanding the true meaning, but I think she's just envious of the spiritual energy in the manor and wants to sneak into the special zone under the guise of sweeping.
Chu Yiyi and Shen Youran were perched on the second-floor balcony, holding handfuls of sunflower seeds, watching the new cleaning lady downstairs like she was watching a monkey show.
Well, that's great. The robot vacuum cleaner in the manor is going to be out of a job, and there will be free laborers scrambling to do the work outside the gate every day.
Lin Xian stretched, already used to this kind of pay-to-win situation, as long as she didn't disturb his sleep.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the cool breeze from the constant-temperature air conditioner, letting the girl run wild outside.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the asphalt road in Qingshui County, casting a long shadow of Ouyang Xue sweeping the ground.
This once pampered heiress actually spent an entire afternoon sweeping fallen leaves outside the manor gate.
Two noticeable blisters had formed on her fair palms, and the sweat on her forehead had ruined her exquisite makeup.
Every time she looked up at the floating manor in the sky, the flame in her eyes that longed to cling to its powerful backer burned even brighter.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, carrying a few withered yellow leaves across the road.
Ouyang Xue chased after them with a broom. Just as she swept the fallen leaves into the dustpan, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and straightened her aching back.
Her gaze casually swept over the commercial district in the center of Qingshui County, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly together.
Those were a few lonely, unfinished cement buildings standing alone in the center of the county town, with rusty scaffolding still hanging on their gray exterior walls.
This was the dilapidated housing development that Lin Xian had casually bought out in full for 500 million yuan a long time ago, just to slap his mean-spirited relatives in the face.
Because of the floating manor in the sky, Lin Xian completely forgot about the unfinished buildings on the ground.
Ouyang Xue curled her lip in disgust, pointed at the few unsightly black cement pillars, and complained to Ma Hualong.
Uncle Ma, our special economic zone is now the center of global technology. These few broken cement pillars standing here are really affecting the appearance of the city.
