Chapter 247 40 years later
Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, 40 years have passed.

Zhou Ming is nearly 120 years old.

Of course, due to proper maintenance and the effect of drugs, he still looks like he is only in his early 30s.

In the past 40 years, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, overall, it was relatively stable.

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

Time is money. During these 40 years, Zhou Ming has grown not only his age, but also his wealth.

His wealth has expanded from 14.78 billion to 33.67 billion.

A total of 19 billion money has been added...about double and a half.

His worth, in the wealth list of the upper area, also rose one place from the original third place, ranking second.

There is still a billion dollars short of being number one.

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

The remaining 20 people ranked fifth to No.16 have an average net worth of less than [-] million.

Part of the reason why Zhou Ming’s net worth has grown so fast is that in the past 40 years, he has played 3 zero-sum and 7 non-zero-sum games with others, winning all of them and earning 11 billion.

The remaining 8 million yuan was basically earned from the betting game "Advent"... However, this game only made a lot of money in the first few years, and in the later period, various similar Advent games sprung up like mushrooms It generally popped up, causing the profit of "Arrival" to decrease year by year.

In the later period, because the total money bet by players in each game was less than 500 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 games in the upper zone where players can "advent" to players. From its popularity at the beginning to its decline in the later period, it has only been 30 years.

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

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

The game industry in the entire upper zone fell into a period of overall depression and downturn.

In addition to the gaming industry, even the previously booming casino industry has experienced a decline in customer traffic and profits year after year, and dozens of small casinos have collapsed one after another.

In addition, in terms of people's work and life, a large number of companies have laid off employees, wages have fallen, deflation, and prices have plummeted. Many restaurants have successively launched preferential activities of "one coin, eat for 1 days", and many home appliance and furniture companies. There are also preferential packages such as "buy one get one free", "buy one get three free" and so on.

In short, the feeling of these 40 years is that there is less money circulating in the market.

In contrast: In the wealth list of the game system in the upper area, there are four billionaires with a net worth of over 10 billion, and their wealth is increasing every year.

Only increase, not decrease.

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

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

"I feel that Ren Lifu is more likely to win. He has gone through two final games, and the result is always a little bit close... This time, he has a big advantage!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that he lost those two times. It was only a little bit short. This time, I believe he will definitely win!"

In many corners of the upper floor, 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, District 40.

In a birch forest, in a simple and old castle with green moss on the outer wall.

Castle top floor.

An old man was sitting on top of the gaming table in the gaming hall, facing the cards, dice, chips, and all kinds of gaming tools in front of him, with a blank expression on his face, his eyes slightly closed, and fell into a state of depression. In deep thought.

a long time.

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

The old man opened his eyes.

"296 years, this is my last chance."

"There is no next time!"

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

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

"I, never believe it, I can't dominate this world!"

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

Ren Lifu.

This old man was Ren Lifu who was talked about by people and talked about privately.

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

He is 296 years old this year, and he is only four years away from the maximum allowable life span.

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

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

So even though he was yelling loudly, he knew very well in his heart: If he lost, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless; no matter how hard he tried to destroy it, he would just drag some people to be buried with him, making his death process more lively Just a little bit.

In fact, in his long life of nearly 300 years, there were two times that he was infinitely close to the culmination of success, but these two times, he was only a little bit short, just a little bit, and he passed away with success passed, and then was ruthlessly beaten into the ranks of losers.

Those two times, he would have been taken away by the clearer, but out of sympathy and pity for the weak, the two successful people generously rewarded him with 100 gold, telling him to continue working hard, continue to survive, and continue to work hard. Stock up on money...and expect a change of luck.

This kind of humiliation is deeply in his heart, and he will never forget it.

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

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

He wants them to realize that giving him a chance to come back is the biggest mistake they ever made!
but……

These wishes are beautiful. If you want to "reminisce" with those old opponents and fulfill the long-cherished wish that has been accumulated in your heart for nearly 200 years...all are based on one "premise".

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

"I will win, I will definitely win!"

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

two months later.

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

Earl Lei Yaojin, who lived in the 05th area of ​​Paradise Island, and Earl Wang Shicong, who lived in the 31st area of ​​Paradise Island, were wiped out in less than a week, and all their assets were owned by others.

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

Their net worth exceeds 10 billion dollars.

Now, these two high-ranking super rich have become zero-returners with zero net worth, their families are ruined, and both of them die.

Earl Lei Yaojin was beaten to death because he refused to admit defeat and tried to resist, while Wang Shicong knelt down and begged to let him go, but he was still killed and turned into scum... After the two super rich people were cleared, even the one who was cleared took them away You can't enjoy the treatment.

Ren Lifu!
The person who did these two things that caused a sensation in the upper area was the one who brought the huge army of robots, took thousands of planes, and covered the sky. After eliminating all potential resistance, he dragged the two rich men into the game hall and forced them to Ren Lifu, who had a zero-sum game and finally won the game!
In a little over a week, Ren Lifu's personal assets suddenly increased from 43.47 billion to 69.12 billion.

Ren Lifu's desired target number is only 30 billion yuan away.

On the wealth list, the total asset value of No. 2 is exactly 33.67 billion yuan. If he is zeroed, he will not only have enough money, but 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 that guy surnamed Zhao, drag him into the game hall, and then have a "game" with him. The final game".

but--

When he was about to make a move, Ren Lifu hesitated.

No.2.

Damn No.2!

In the previous two times, he lost to No.2. As a result, he is extremely sensitive to No.2, even a little afraid.

In my heart, a deep shadow was left.

No.2 seems to be his natural enemy of No.1, the natural enemy of the last level!

"You can't trouble No.2. For the time being, bypass No.2 and avoid fighting No.2!"

A lesson learned twice in a row made Ren Lifu worry about No.2 to the point where he was terrified and afraid of well ropes for a hundred years.

One can't fall down three times in a row in a pit. Ren Lifu doesn't want to be entangled with No.2, who is like a "curse", and doesn't want to experience it anymore. Lady Luck just doesn't care for him.

"Let's put No. 2 aside and attack other people first to see if we can get that much money."

So, in another month, Ren Lifu led his huge army of machines and swept away all the tycoons from No. 20 to No. 16 on the wealth list, threatening to kill the entire family of these tycoons without playing games. , Deprived all the wealth of these [-] rich men into his own hands.

Then it took another month to deprive dozens of small and medium tycoons ranked between the 21st and 100th with only tens of millions of dollars.

Ren Lifu's total assets can reach 105.01 billion yuan.

achieved his goal.

So, Ren Lifu sent someone to say hello, and after warning that person not to interfere, Ren Lifu came to the resource exchange in the game city, facing the resources on the information panel, and prepared to increase the price to buy:
52 cities in 120 districts.

51 ground floor areas.

40 parcels of land on Paradise Island.

About [-]% of these resources are in the hands of Ren Lifu.

The remaining [-]% is in the hands of another person.

These 5% of resources need exactly [-] million dollars to buy...as long as the other party doesn't increase the price.

"The other party followed the price by 10, and the purchase of resources failed. Do you want to increase the price again?"

"The price increase of 10 was successful! The other party followed the price, but the purchase of resources failed. Do you want to increase the price again?"

"boom!"

A loud bang.

Ren Lifu's fist slammed on the table, his teeth gnawed loudly, his eyes were filled with real anger, and he roared wildly: "Zhao Yu, you are looking for death, you are looking for death!"

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

"I will kill your family and friends, not a single one is left, not a single one is left!"

"You forced me, you forced me!"

"Machine Legion, let's go!"

buzz~
On the huge field, thousands of large transport planes started the turbine engines under the belly, spouted a powerful airflow, and carried a troop of 11 armed robots, covering the sky and the sun, heading for the [-]th area of ​​Paradise Island.

This time, no matter whether he wins or loses, that No.2 guy must die completely!
This time, he will never allow anyone to step on his shoulders again!
