The livestream chat buzzed with speculation and curiosity as Willy Morgan continued to make substantial purchases.
“Streamers, no doubt about it—this guy’s the real deal. Dropping tens of thousands on clothes and skincare products like it’s nothing. It makes perfect sense that he’s checking out the best property in Los Angeles, Silver Lake Enclave.”
“Clearly, you don’t know the prices at Silver Lake Enclave. The cheapest units there start at over $9,000 per square meter, and every apartment is over 1,000 square meters. That means even the lowest-priced units cost nearly $10 million! Los Angeles isn’t the capital, and it’s not some major financial hub. It’s just a second-tier city!”
“I don’t buy it. He’s probably just tired and decided to rest in the sales office.”
Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana were also engrossed in the discussion, eagerly participating in the livestream chat as they speculated about Willy’s next move.
Meanwhile, Willy Morgan appeared to be resting with his eyes closed in the sales office, but in reality, he was communicating with the system.
“System, does buying a house count towards upgrading the system?”
“No, Host. Only spending from the funds provided by the system and using your Los Angeles bank account qualifies. Additionally, if you attempt to transfer money from your Unity Savings Bank account to your Los Angeles account, the system will automatically clear the transferred funds.”
“Got it.”
Just then, Willy was interrupted by the sales agent, Mr. Zheng, who asked, “Sir, you look tired. Would you like a massage?”
Willy opened his eyes to find Mr. Zheng standing in front of him with his hands outstretched.
“No, thank you! Please don’t touch me! By the way, how’s the contract coming along?”
“Sir, everything is ready. Please follow me to the finance office to complete the paperwork. I’ll carry your items for you!” Mr. Zheng eagerly took the bags from Willy’s hands and led the way to the finance office.
After signing the purchase contract and paying the total of $13,366,000 for the apartment and the garage, Mr. Zheng handed the keys to Willy Morgan.
“Mr. Morgan, here are your keys!”
“Uh… just call me Mr. Morgan. No need for formal titles.”
“Of course, Mr. Morgan! You can schedule a time to inspect the property, and we’ll have professionals accompany you. Before your visit, please contact me, and I’ll personally assist you. We’ll also replace the fingerprint locks when you inspect the property. Additionally, here are three cards for you: one for building access, a VIP card for the clubhouse, and a garage entry card. When would you like to inspect the property?”
“I’m available now if it’s convenient for you.”
“We’re ready whenever you are, sir! I’ll contact the property management right away!” Mr. Zheng quickly made arrangements. Willy then asked, “I drove here. How about you?”
“I’ll just call a cab.”
“Forget it. I’ll give you a ride. Let’s not waste time.”
“Thank you, Mr. Morgan!”
As the two were about to leave, Willy felt a sudden need to use the restroom. “Hold onto my things for a moment. I need to use the restroom.”
“Of course, Mr. Morgan. I’ll wait here.”
No sooner had Willy gone to the restroom than Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana approached Mr. Zheng.
Seeing them with a phone and livestream running, Mr. Zheng grew wary and asked, “What do you want?”
“Hey man, did that guy really buy a house here? We saw you running around helping him out.”
“Of course! He’s my biggest client! He just bought a unit for over $13 million! Who are you guys, and why are you asking?”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana were stunned, and the livestream chat exploded with activity once again.
“Why was that guy dressed like a bum earlier? I thought he was a mechanic, but it turns out he’s living at the top of Los Angeles society!”
“You’re not the only one fooled—these two streamers thought he was a nobody, but he’s the real deal!”
When Willy returned from the restroom, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana had already left.
Mr. Zheng was thrilled to be riding in Willy’s Ferrari. He couldn’t resist taking selfies, recording videos, and posting updates on LINE during the drive.
After a short trip, they arrived at Silver Lake Enclave, where the property manager, head of security, and other staff were eagerly waiting to greet them.
Willy was uncomfortable with the attention, finding it all a bit excessive.
After parking in his newly acquired garage, Willy and Mr. Zheng took the elevator to the 23rd floor of Silver Lake Enclave’s Building 3. As Willy’s hand trembled slightly while opening the door, he felt a deep sense of accomplishment—this luxury apartment symbolized that he finally had a true home, a place that provided a sense of security.
The door opened to reveal a spacious foyer with high-end dark gray tiles, giving the space a modern and luxurious feel. As Willy moved further inside, he was greeted by an expansive living room of nearly 200 square meters. The furniture was all in sleek, modern light gray tones, balancing the space without making it feel too old-fashioned or dark.
The living room flowed seamlessly into a Western-style kitchen, which then connected to a Chinese-style kitchen. Willy took a tour of the entire apartment: three master bedrooms, four guest bedrooms, a children’s room, a maid’s room, a study, a dressing room, four bathrooms, and more. Willy was thoroughly impressed.
“Mr. Morgan, the locksmith is here to install your new fingerprint lock,” the property manager informed him.
“Oh, okay.”
About ten minutes later, Willy found himself alone in his new home, lying on the luxurious bed as the staff left.
“Host, are you planning to upgrade the system today?”
“System, I haven’t used the two buttons that lit up after upgrading to level 2. If I upgrade again today, will the functions of those buttons stack?”
“Yes, Host. Each time you level up, you can use every activated function once. When you reach level 9, the system control panel will undergo an upgrade.”
“System, after upgrading from level 1 to level 2, the Prediction and Blessing buttons lit up. Can I use them now?”
“Ding! Please proceed with the operation, Host.”
Willy closed his eyes and focused on the two glowing buttons. He decided to press the Blessing button, as he was already familiar with the Prediction button and was curious about the new one.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have acquired the skill *Photographic Memory*! It is recommended that you use this skill wisely in your studies and life, as it will bring you unexpected and significant benefits!”
“Wow! This is awesome! If I had this ability back when I was in school, I would have aced every subject!”
As Willy received the Blessing of Photographic Memory, he felt a sudden cool sensation in his brain, which quickly returned to normal.
To test his new ability, Willy randomly opened a book on his phone and found that he could read ten lines at a time and recite them all perfectly!
"The system is truly out of this world! With a photographic memory, learning new things will be a breeze! System, I'm ready to activate the Prediction button!"Willy Morgan was even more excited about the Prediction function than the Blessing one. The reason was simple—Predictions could bring the most direct financial benefits!"System initializing the Prediction button. Please wait... Prediction is about to refresh.""Ding! The system predicts that on April 4, 2034, the old residential areas of Tianwen Community on Cultural Road, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets in the Los Angeles Education District will undergo demolition! Host, seize this opportunity!"As soon as Willy heard the prediction, he quickly noted down the details on his phone and looked up the area on Google Maps. He discovered that the community was a large, nearly 40-year-old area that had long been deserted.Willy didn’t know much about real estate and land acquisitions, but he knew someone who did—his employees. He remember
Over the weekend, Willy Morgan drove back to his old, run-down apartment, packed his belongings, and officially moved out. Standing in his now-empty room, Willy felt a wave of nostalgia. This place held so many memories—from moving out of the orphanage to working through his college years. Despite its shabby state, it had been home. Unable to completely let go, Willy spent $100,000 to buy the small unit so he could return and reminisce whenever he wanted.On Monday at noon, before Willy had a chance to visit Orion Universal Group, he received a call from Heather Collins."Mr. Morgan, our team went to Tianwen Community as planned. The residents were surprisingly eager to sell. All 117 building owners have agreed to sell, and they were so concerned we might not have enough funds that they offered to drop the price by another $50 per square meter. The final total comes to around $650 million, and we’ve arranged for a joint property certificate. The certificate lists your name and include
"Close your eyes, focus deeply on your thoughts, and then visualize the current stock market trends in your mind. You'll see the stocks that will hit the limit-up tomorrow!" the system instructed.Willy Morgan followed the instructions, and sure enough, six stock codes appeared in his mind. He quickly noted them down on his phone, planning to compare them the next day.After chatting with the system for a while, Willy drove home. It was already late, and the stock market had closed, so he decided to visit the securities company the next day to open an account.Early the next morning, Willy went to the largest securities company in the country, opened an account, and deposited all the remaining money from his lottery winnings into it. He checked the six stocks he had predicted the day before, and to his delight, three of them had hit their limit-up at the opening, while the other three were steadily rising. This greatly boosted Willy's confidence in the system.However, since the predi
Willy Morgan looked at the group of people before him. Each of them exuded a vigorous energy. The leader, Eleanor Rodriguez, was a woman in her forties, dressed in a sharp professional outfit with a neatly tied ponytail. Her subtle makeup complemented her face, striking a balance between professionalism and youthful appearance. The three men with her, clearly bodyguards, had muscular physiques that strained against their jackets. There was a burly man with a large head and thick neck, obviously the chef, and another man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a box that hinted at his role as a private doctor. Beside Eleanor, there was a demure young woman, presumably the personal assistant, and a middle-aged man with a square face who looked like the chauffeur.“Mr. Morgan, as you can see, we have three personal bodyguards, this is the chef, this is the private doctor, and this is the driver. This lady is the personal assistant, and I am the housekeeper. Our annual salary is 2 mi
The next morning, Willy Morgan woke up to the tempting aroma of breakfast. It was the first time someone had made breakfast for him.“Master Morgan, you’re awake! Hurry and eat! Zoe made an English breakfast today. You should try it!” Eleanor Rodriguez said as she brought the dishes over.“Have you all eaten?” Willy Morgan glanced at the time; it was almost 9 o’clock. The stock market would open in half an hour.“We’ve already eaten. Each of us has a fixed early wake-up time and duty schedule. Do you have any plans for today?”“Not really. By the way, Eleanor, I have a buddy working as a sales representative at a Mercedes dealership. If you’re going to buy cars today, go through him. It’ll help him hit his sales targets!”“Got it, Master Morgan.”“Here’s his number. I’ll send him a WhatsApp message to let him know you’re co
After returning the books, Willy Morgan spotted Asher and Carter outside the library.“You two are here to read as well?” Willy Morgan asked as he approached them.“Master Morgan, we’re here to provide security for you.”“What?! You’ve been with me since the morning? You’ve been nearby the whole time?”“Yes, Master Morgan!”“Have you had lunch yet? I’m sure you haven’t. Let’s go out for a meal!”“Master Morgan, Zoe prepared a French meal at home for you!”“Oh right, I have a chef now!”“Master Morgan, let me drive you home. Carter can take a cab.”“...Alright then!”Willy Morgan was still adjusting to having a full-time staff, understanding that after living alone for 22 years, it would take some time to get used to the sudden addition of so many people.In the car,
Willy Morgan calculated that he had less than 10 million left in his pocket. Of course, if there were any demolition or system upgrades, the amount could vary significantly!“Eleanor, can I get back to you later? I’m not sure if anything might come up in the next few days.”“Of course, Master Morgan. Just let me know before the 8th.”Meanwhile, Heather Collins also received an invitation to the auction.“Ms. Collins, the wealthy individuals in Los Angeles are all attending this auction, and we’ve been allocated two spots by Orion Universal Group. What do you think?” Joyce asked.“Hmm, you should accompany me. Let’s catch up with some old friends while we’re at it. I’ve been feeling a bit worn out lately.”“What about Mr. Morgan?”“Why should we worry about him? He’ll just meet new people. Don’t worry about him.”&ld
“Since Mr. Martinez has invited me, I’ll definitely make a grand purchase that day!” Willy Morgan said with a grin.“Mr. Morgan, that’s the spirit! See you then!” Joyce responded enthusiastically.“See you next week!” Willy Morgan said as he exited the transaction hall, smiling all the way to the Bentley.“Master Morgan, you’re truly impressive!” Paisley complimented from the side.“Haha, it’s nothing much! Maverick, let’s head to Hua Wan Shopping Center. I want to buy a watch and change things up a bit!”“Yes, Master Morgan!”That afternoon, a news report shook all of Los Angeles.Heather Collins stared at the news in shock: “Los Angeles’ largest dilapidated area being redeveloped! Astronomical Community’s 6,300 units are being demolished!”“Ms. Collins!!!!!! This news! The demolished area is the one Mr. Morgan bought! Mr. Morgan is incredible!”“Yes... It’s truly impressive!” Heather Collins realized she had underestimated Willy Morgan. She recalled his comment on the day of the purc
“Alright, then thank you!” Willy said."Stop playing coy, Willy. Just wait for my update. By the way, the chips are enough now, you can continue supplying The Robinson Family and The Brown Family. I’ve come to realize that these so-called big families—anyone on your good side rises, and those on your bad side get crushed," the caller said with a knowing tone."Boss, you can’t put it like that. I’ve always been honest. If they don’t bully me, I won’t fight back! Just look at all these big families, which one didn’t start by bullying me before I took them down?" Willy responded with a laugh."Willy, how you handle them is your business, but I hope you don’t destroy the economic balance. Things are already tough, and if all these rich businessmen go bankrupt, a lot of people will lose their jobs. That’s not good for me. If you understand what I mean, you’ll know what to do. No favoritism—
The day after the wedding, Willy took Violet and his parents to visit the newly purchased property at 77 Central Park West. As they stood in front of the building, Caleb and Penelope looked up at the towering structure, stealing glances at Violet."Son, is this the house you bought for us?" Caleb asked."Yeah, Dad, take a look and see which one you prefer—this place or the top-tier mansion we're living in now. Violet, which one do you like better?" Willy asked, turning to his wife."You guys decide. It doesn’t matter to me," Violet replied casually. She didn’t mind either option; both the luxury mansion they lived in now and the new place at 77 Central Park West were great.Caleb thought for a moment. "Son, I think I prefer our current place. This 12th-floor apartment makes me worry about power outages, and it’s too big. What if burglars get in? Your mother and I would be scared!""You don’t worry about the secur
As Violet stepped off the flying vehicle, every step she took was met with bursts of ribbons and fireworks. The sounds of cheers and blessings surrounded her, and Violet couldn’t help but feel like the happiest woman in the world.Finally, they reached the grand hall.The couple stood by the stage, waiting. By now, all their friends and family had taken their seats. Willy glanced around."Wow, what a huge hall!" he thought. The venue could easily accommodate over a hundred tables, and it was almost full! The crowd was enormous, and Willy realized he didn’t know most of them. Who were these people?At 11:28 AM, the ceremony officially began!Under the host's guidance, Willy completed the various segments of the ceremony. The host announced the couple would change outfits, and the kitchen staff began serving the food. Meanwhile, the stage stayed lively with Logan’s arranged celebrity performances, which caught everyone’s atten
"Cheap? Willy, let me explain. Each floor is 424 square meters, with a total of 12 floors. We’ve calculated the price based on a unit cost of 116,000 per square meter! The building next door is a bit cheaper. This is the pricing method for high-rise buildings, which is different from residential and commercial office buildings! And it’s a far cry from your top-tier global mansion! Your place is priced based on land value, while mine is based on the high-rise!""Oh, I see! Deal. Can we finalize the paperwork now? My people will move in tonight, is that okay?""Of course, no problem."After securing the properties, Willy briefly discussed an environmental collaboration project with The Robinson Family before heading back to his office.By t
77 Central Park West wasn’t far from Willy’s Morgen estate—less than a 20-minute walk and just a few minutes by car.The complex of 77 Central Park West consisted of four rows of buildings, three in each row, each 12 stories high. The architectural designs of the buildings were unique, and the landscaping around the area was excellent. After entering through the main gate, tall oak trees lined both sides, with various-shaped lawns, windmills, and a variety of flowers planted throughout. The distance between the 12 buildings was vast, and nestled in the middle was a three-story building that served as the residents' clubhouse, featuring a gym, yoga room, swimming pool, and various sports courts.Willy waited a few minutes before meeting up with Sebastian Robinson."Willy, your estate is so i
"Ding! Has the host collapsed?""A little. There are too many reports. System, do you think it's because I usually slack off that all these reports piled up?""Not really. The main reason is that the host's previous goal was to upgrade the system, which is why there are all these tasks. But the system has an idea for you!""Hmm, I know you're going to remind me that I can use my speed-reading and photographic memory abilities to solve this, right?""Not at all!""Then what is it?""Host! Have you forgotten that after the system upgrade, there's a Wish Button now?""No way! Can I just wish that I've finished reading all these reports and found no issues?""Nega
"Willy, when is Violet's due date?""Mom, Violet's due date is at the end of April next year!""Did you hear that?! Your daughter-in-law's due date is at the end of April next year! You want Violet to have the baby early, just like I did, huh? And now you're saying 'like a jujube tree bearing sweet fruit'! When are you getting things together?"Penelope was shocked by Willy's lack of awareness—her dear son seemed to have forgotten the most obvious things!"Ah! I didn't realize Violet was already pregnant!""You're going to be a grandfather! You need to be more sharp! What if you end up losing the kid when it's your turn to babysit?""Yes, yes! I'll get everything cleared up right away!""Dad! Don't do anything tonight! I'm going to sleep in your room. Tomorrow, you can h
"Willy, you’re fast at this!""Well, I have to be! I’m getting married soon, so I need to wrap up all these little details before the big day! How did you get the news so quickly?""Of course! After the Yellowstone eruption, everyone’s eyes turned to J Country’s Mount Ardent, along with volcanoes in Indonesia, Chile, and Australia. What they’re really worried about are the chain reactions that could lead to global eruptions and, potentially, a mini ice age!""Don’t worry, it won’t happen! My environmental company’s air filtration project—you’ve seen its effects. You can tell how much better New York’s air quality is now compared to places like North Korea. According to my team, the nationwide air projects will be completed within two months, before the year ends!""
