Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 232: Chapter 231: Bastard Host and Bastard System [10th Update, Please Subscribe]

While a match was taking place at the Workers’ Stadium...

Shocking news also broke in the outside world.

That is, Lu Xiaobu has graduated from the Newcomer Rich List!

Finally, he has officially joined the Third Level Rich List!

The official name of the Third Level Rich List is actually called — The Hufeng Rich List.

But everyone habitually calls it the Third Level Rich List.

Because it only lists the billionaires with wealth under 10 billion!

Above it, there’s the Second Level Rich List that counts wealth from 10 billion to 100 billion, and the First Level Rich List that counts wealth above 100 billion!

Unlike the Newcomer Rich List where making a few billion is seen as remarkable and is meant to promote newcomers.

Making it into the Third Level Rich List means you’ve truly entered the ranks of the rich.

So when this news came out, it immediately blew everyone away.

”My God, has Lu Xiaobu been promoted again?”

”The Third Level Rich List, huh! Is he the youngest Rich List tycoon in history?”

”That’s insanely cool!”

”But, logically speaking, shouldn’t Lu Xiaobu have made it in there earlier? Why only now?”

”Isn’t it because of that League of Heroes mess? Now that Lu Xiaobu has succeeded, it’s great, but if he hadn’t, it would have been a bottomless pit. Forget about the Third Level Rich List, he might have even been knocked off the Newcomer List!”

”That’s true, I heard that Lu Xiaobu spent 1.5 billion in America just buying companies!”

”Right, think about it, his game is free-to-play and he makes money solely from skins. Plus, with the previous harsh environment in Heavenly Dynasty, a failure would mean disaster! That’s probably why the Third Level Rich List didn’t include him before!”

”But, Lu Xiaobu succeeded against all odds, with his own power, he drastically changed the entire situation. Now if they don’t let him in, it would be complete nonsense!”

”By the way, don’t just talk about that, what rank is Xiaobu?”

”Hold on, let me check... Hiss!”

”What’s up? Why are you hissing?”

”Lu Xiaobu ranks twenty-ninth! He’s entered the top thirty directly!”

”Holy moly! For real?! Straight into the top thirty? I remember that those in the top thirty have assets around 70 billion, right? Does Lu Xiaobu actually have a net worth close to 70 billion?!”

”I don’t know!”

”...”

People on the Newcomer Rich List looked at the new rankings with mixed emotions.

They still remembered that less than a year ago, Lu Xiaobu was notorious as a squandering rich kid!

Then, this squanderer went on a tear and in a very short time, shot up to number one on the Newcomer Rich List!

At first, they thought Lu Xiaobu was just lucky, feeling that one day they would overtake him!

But now!

While they were still smug about making tens or hundreds of millions!

This so-called squanderer had now become one of the people on the Third Level Rich List!

And not just anywhere, but in the top thirty!

With assets amounting to 70 billion!

Is Lu Xiaobu really a wastrel or the God of Wealth?!

Or rather, is Lu Xiaobu the wastrel, or are they the wastrels?!

Comparing oneself to others will only make you want to die, truly!

...

Everyone was shocked that Lu Xiaobu had a net worth of 70 billion!

Only Liang Lan saw the news, closed her laptop, and smiled without a word.

billion, the numbers were quite accurate.

These ignorant people will never know!

Despite the Young Master squandering every day, he’s actually making money every day!

First of all, there’s the Cola Company.

Its profits might not be huge, but its sales volume is!

Then there’s Juechen smartphones.

Though installment plans do cause some losses upfront, once they’re overcome, customer loyalty is extremely solid!

Apart from the phones, things like headphones, chargers, phone cases, and so on, all these peripherals are money-making products!

Moreover, the Young Master’s Super God phone upgrade promotion was a huge success, making Juechen a familiar name for countless players of LOL!

Thus, Juechen saw a big increase in sales!

As for the rest, like Juechen Live Platform, Creation Book City, IT companies, and so on.

The money made from those are just pocket change, she doesn’t even bother to tally them up!

After all, those earnings are nothing compared to the Young Master’s allowances!

So even though LOL isn’t making money right now and is still spending money.

A net worth of 70 billion is absolutely not an issue!

And all these, all are industries that the Young Master squandered his way into!

Can you believe it?

Aren’t you shocked?

Scared you, didn’t I!

...

Lu Xiaobu, who was watching the match, still had no idea he’d made it onto the Third Level Rich List.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care!

The match was a huge success, with the live audience completely fired up.

Yet Lu Xiaobu, the founder of LOL and organizer of the match, was utterly uninterested.

Just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other!

Having witnessed countless matches on Earth, his own skill might not be anything special, but his standards were pretty high.

He could chime in a few words about global meta, lane-swapping, 4-1 split pushing, poke comps, and so on.

In other words, he was what you’d call a keyboard warrior!

So, watching these newbies who were just getting the hang of the game and still stuck in low-level combat, he really wasn’t very captivated.

”System, I’m bored, let’s do a draw.”

Lu Xiaobu spoke to the system in utter boredom.

It cost him over two billion to indulge in his Emperor fantasies!

With all sorts of expenses added together.

So now, he had a frivolous spending total of over three billion.

Saving one billion for the Dragon Capturing Hand, one billion for Luck Aura, so that left another billion to squander.

”What do you want?”

The system was a bit bored too.

”I don’t really want anything.”

Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment before saying, ”How about we do a proper lottery draw?”

”Uh... sure!” the system paused to think and said, ”We never really did a proper lottery draw, did we?”

It’s laughable. The lottery draw function was supposed to be standard, but it was turned into a damned host-system, sham of a P2P transaction by these two idiots!

From the beginning until now, they’ve hardly ever drawn lots properly!

No, more like infuriatingly infrequent!

So much so that a regular lottery draw had become a rare occurrence!

”Come on, let’s do this, let’s have a go!”

Lu Xiaobu immediately rubbed his hands together: ”Are you betting on big or small?”

”What counts as big and what’s small?”

The system got interested too.

”Simple, I’ll draw using fifty million, and you can’t interfere. If it’s a physical item, that’s ’big’; if it’s not physical, then it’s ’small’. How about it?”

Lu Xiaobu set the rules!

”Okay! I’ll bet on big! One million!”

The system thought it over and said.

”Alright, then I’ll bet on small, also one million!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Both these damn host and damn system were getting hyped up!

Who knows if the lottery function, if it had a consciousness, would feel like strangling them both!

Dark horse lottery draws every day were bad enough, but to actually make a proper draw into a betting game!?

Is there any other host and system like you in this world?

The draw began, and the wheel that only appeared when Lu Xiaobu first encountered the system for the first time showed up again!

”Here we go!”

Lu Xiaobu rubbed his hands together, starting the draw.

”Big, big, big!”

The system was chanting like a gambler!

”Small, small, small!”

Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t be outdone, punching the air as he shouted.

The roulette wheel spun at high speed!

Gradually, the wheel began to slow...

Slower and slower...

Slower still...

Lu Xiaobu and the system grew more and more excited!

”Big, big, big!”

”Small, small, small!”

”...”

Finally!

It stopped!

The lottery prize was revealed!
