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 effects of the drugs, he still looks like he is only in his early thirties.

In the past 40 years, although there have been some twists and turns, on the whole, it has been relatively stable.

Life is rich and stable, career is thriving, family happiness and beauty ...... Most of the difficulties and challenges encountered were overcome without danger.

Time is money, and during these forty years, Zhou Ming has grown not only his age, but also his wealth.

His wealth swelled from 1.478 billion to 3.367 billion dollars.

A total of 1.9 billion gold has been added...... About double and a half.

His worth, in the wealth list of the upper district, has also risen one place from the original third place, ranking second.

There is still a billion dollars left before the first.

The growth rate of Zhou Ming's 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 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 40 years, he has played 3 zero-sum and 7 non-zero-sum games with others, earning 1.1 billion money.

The remaining 800 million money is basically earned from the betting game "Arrival...... However, this game has only made a lot of money in the first few years, and all kinds of similar advent games have sprung up like mushrooms in the later period, resulting in the profits of "Arrival" not as good as year after year.

In the later stage, because the total amount of money betted by each player was less than 5 million, after deducting various expenses, it was almost unprofitable, so the operation was simply stopped.

"Arrival", the first epoch-making game in the history of upper-class games, can "descend" on players, from the beginning of the popularity, to the later decline, a total of only 30 years.

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

There are more than a dozen more niche games, such as "Desert Island Survival", "Labyrinth Brave" and so on, which have gone bankrupt and closed down.

The entire upper-class game industry has fallen into a full-fledged depression and downturn.

In addition to the game industry, even the casino industry, which has always been hot, has seen its customer flow and profits fall 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 enterprises have laid off employees, wages have declined, deflation, prices have plummeted, many restaurants have launched "1 money, eat for 3 days" preferential activities, many home appliances and furniture companies, have also launched "buy one get one free", "buy one get three free" and other preferential packages.

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

On the contrary, in the wealth list of the upper-district game system, there are four billionaires with a net worth of more than 1 billion, and their wealth is increasing every year.

Only increase, not decrease.

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

"Once every 100 years, this time, I don't know who will win?"

"I feel that Ren Lifu has a higher chance of winning, he has gone through two final games, and the result is always a little bit worse...... This time, he has a big advantage!"

"Yes, it's a pity that he lost those two times, just a little bit, this time, I believe he will win!"

In many corners of the upper 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, the 40th district.

In a birch forest, in a quaint castle with green moss facades.

Castle top floor.

An old man, sitting above the gaming table in the gambling hall, looked at the cards, dice, chips and all kinds of game tools in front of him, his face was expressionless, his eyes were slightly closed, and he fell into deep thought.

Long.

As soon as the eyelids moved, wavy wrinkles appeared, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes became more pronounced.

The old man's eyes opened.

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

"There's no next time!"

"If you win, the highest positions, there will be a place for me. ”

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

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

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

Ren Lifu.

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

He is on the wealth list of the game system, and in the past 100 years, the richest man Ren Lifu has been ranked first!

He is 296 years old, four years away from the maximum permissible life expectancy.

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

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

Therefore, even if the clamor on his lips is extremely powerful, he knows very well in his heart: if he loses, no matter how much he struggles, it will be useless, and no matter how hard he destroys, it is just to pull some people to accompany him to the funeral and make the process of his death more lively.

In fact, in his long life of nearly 300 years, there have been two times when he was infinitely close to the pinnacle of success, but these two times were only a little bit short, just a little bit, and he passed by success and was ruthlessly beaten into the ranks of losers.

On both occasions, he would have been taken away by the Clearers, but out of sympathy and pity for the weak, the two successful ones generously rewarded him with 100 gold, telling him to continue to work hard, continue to survive, and continue to accumulate money...... Expect a turn of luck.

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

He swore that he would go to that place, stand in front of the two men who had defeated him, clear them to zero, and then humiliate them tenfold, a hundredfold.

Then they are killed, chopped, and ground into powder.

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

But......

These wishes are good, if you want to "catch up" with those old opponents and complete the long-cherished wishes that have been backlogged for nearly 200 years...... All built on a "premise".

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

"I'm going to win, I'm going to win!"

Ren Lifu recited silently twice in his heart, clenched his fists, and was full of unprecedented fighting spirit!

……

Two months later.

Two things happened in the upper district one after another, which shocked the whole district.

Count Lei Yaojin, who lives in the 05th area of Paradise Island, and Earl Wang Shicong, who lives in the 31st area of Paradise Island, have been tragically cleared in less than a week, and all their net worth are owned by others.

And these two counts are the third and fourth super-rich people in the wealth list of the game system.

Their net worth is more than 1 billion money.

Now, these two super-rich people have become zero-losers with a net worth of 0, and their families are ruined, and both of them are dead.

Earl Lei Yaojin was beaten to death for refusing to admit defeat and vainly trying to resist, while Wang Shicong knelt down and pleaded to let him go, but he was still bombarded and killed...... The two super-rich people, after the zero, can't even enjoy the treatment that was taken away by the zero.

Ren Lifu!

The person who did these two sensational things in the upper area was none other than Ren Lifu, who took the huge robot army and flew thousands of planes to the world, first eliminating all potential resistance, and then dragging the two rich people into the game hall, forcing a zero-sum game and finally winning the game!

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

is only more than 3 billion short of Ren Lifu's target number.

On the wealth list, the total asset value of the person in second place is just 3.367 billion money, if you zero him, not only is the money enough, but also a slight surplus.

At this time, it stands to reason that Ren Lifu should take his huge robot army to the 11th area of Paradise Island, and after eliminating all resistance, he will find out the guy surnamed Zhao, drag him into the game hall, and then have a "final game" with him.

But-

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

2nd place.

Damn second place!

The first two times, he lost at the hands of the second place, which led to the fact that now he is extremely sensitive to the second place, and even a little afraid.

In my heart, a thick shadow was left.

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

"You can't make trouble with the second place, bypass the second place for the time being, and avoid fighting the second place!"

Eating a trench and growing a wisdom, two consecutive lessons, made Ren Lifu's worries about the second place to the point of a kind of rumor, a hundred years of fear of the well rope.

People can't fall down in a pit three times in a row, for the second place, which is like a "curse", Ren Lifu doesn't want to be entangled anymore, and he doesn't want to experience it again, Lady Luck just doesn't care about him.

"The second place is put down, and the others are attacked first, and see if they can get so much money. ”

So, in more than a month, Ren Lifu took his huge army of machines to sweep all the rich people on the wealth list, ranking fifth to twentieth, and threatened to kill all the families of these rich people without gaming, and deprived all the net worth of these 16 rich people into his own hands.

Then it took another month to deprive dozens of small and medium-sized billionaires who ranked between the 21st and 100th places with a net worth of only a few million dollars.

Ren Lifu's total assets can reach 10.501 billion yuan.

Achieved his goal.

So, after Ren Lifu sent someone to say hello and warn the person not to interfere, Ren Lifu came to the resource exchange in the game city, and prepared to buy the resources on the information panel at a higher price:

120 cities in 52 districts.

51 ground floor areas.

40 plots of land on Paradise Island.

About seventy percent of these resources are in the hands of Ren Lifu.

The remaining thirty percent is in the hands of another person.

These 30% resources just need 500 million money to buy...... As long as the other party does not increase the price.

"The other party follows the price of 100,000 yuan, and the resource purchase fails, will the price be increased again?"

"The price increase of 100,000 yuan is successful! The other party follows the price, and the resource purchase fails, will the price be increased again?"

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang.

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

"I'm going to grind your flesh to slag, I'm going to grind your bones to powder!"

"I'm going to kill none of your family and friends, and leave no one behind!"

"You forced me, you forced me!"

"Machine Legion, go!"

Buzz~

On the huge field, thousands of large transport planes, starting the turbine engines under the belly, spewed out powerful air currents, carrying 100,000 armed robot troops, 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 who is second must die completely!

This time, he would not allow anyone to step on his shoulder again!
