"Nonsense—you'll accept my gift!" Evan tapped his phone, ordering 400 cases of chips from Amazon before pocketing it. "Let's see, you number twenty individuals, so four hundred cases—twenty per person. Those with children may bring some to school; those with friends can host chip parties. You're even privileged to consume them at the office."

"...Twenty bags? I could inhale fifty in an hour as a lad," Sean mumbled under his breath.

The grumbling recommenced from the peanut gallery:

"Just twenty bags? Not enough!"

"Oy, the boss is a tightwad, eh?"

"Be grateful for any reward—if it's not enough, buy more yourself!"

Amid the din, Evan's phone rang—the chip vendor calling to confirm the daunting four-hundred case order, needing to transfer inventory and delaying shipment until the following day.

"Certainly, no problem with the delay!"

That call brought the full magnitude crashing home for Sean's cohorts, who gawked at Evan in stunned disbelief.

"You can't mean actual case sizes?"

    As the shows commenced broadcasting, Adam and Sean huddled with senior staff around Tiktoc's backend databases, unblinkingly fixated on the dense data streams flooding the massive screens, palms damp with nervous sweat.Likewise, moguls from rival networks, Elysian entertainment companies, and prominent streaming platforms monitored their respective metrics with hawkish intensity—the pivotal battle was joined.Ratings for the network premieres surged rapidly, their executives' lips curling into mocking sneers. "Hah, Lumina City TV's measly 0.71% share pales compared to our 1.02%, 1.13%, 1.19%!""Splendid Music has become the industry's laughingstock, derided by networks, studios, and streamers alike!""Did you not realize partnering with that paltry local station was a grave misstep? The data speaks—look at your dismal numbers versus our soaring viewership!""Even with Tiktoc and YouClub's backing, the so-called Elysian livestream leaders offer no advantage. How richly ironic!"Amid

    The bewildered Sean could only gape, dumbfounded—mere minutes earlier, the National Talent Show's viewership had begun skyrocketing at a dizzying pace none foresaw. Yet in this fleeting span, the numbers had achieved the inconceivable peak of 32.12%—a mind-boggling increase of several dozen times over!Good heavens!Such an unprecedented meteoric ascent in entertainment history strained credulity, leaving Adam and Sean understandably thunderstruck by this paradoxical phenomenon.It must be understood that the large screen in front displayed the viewing ratings of Lumina City Television, not just their Tiktoc live stream views! A local TV station achieving a staggering 32.12% viewership rating - what did that signify?It meant that one-third of the entire city was watching "National Talent Show" at that very moment!And more were continuously tuning in to join the audience for their program!This was a mere local television station! Its current rating had surpassed every channel acro

    Within Lumina City Television's executive office, Tyler Knight wore a wry, almost rueful smile. His fortunes had dramatically reversed - thanks to the Tiktoc and Splendid Music collaborations, his station's influence skyrocketed. Continuing on this trajectory, challenging Music Television for entertainment programming dominance seemed plausible.Yet that very success bred his current vexation. With "National Talent Show's" immense popularity, a deluge of celebrities defied their parent companies' restraints, all clamoring to appear on the program. His phone rang incessantly.Those stars who previously brushed him off now pleaded earnestly, some even willing to forgo payment to simply participate in "National Talent Show."Sponsors too inundated him with calls, offering exorbitant sums just to air a brief advertisement during the show.While tempted, Tyler dared not act unilaterally.His entire career was owed to that youth wearing a bucket hat emblazoned with a flaming wrist tattoo -

    Sean muttered, "With you around, Mr. Smith, even a zero-rated TV station could soar. Hardly surprising!""Enough digression!" Evan's smile warmed. "Help me schedule meetings with Bella and Ava. Tell them Tiktoc's behind-the-scenes mastermind wishes to meet them - the one who filmed their movies and wrote their songs is finally unveiling himself!""Huh?" Sean startled, quickly regaining composure as he blinked inquiringly, "Then, Mr. Smith, shall I also arrange the lovely hosts?""..." Evan nearly slapped him again. "No need!"Five o'clock in the afternoon.Tiktoc Headquarters, Evan's expansive office.This was the predetermined time and place Evan arranged to meet Bella and Ava."Clack, clack, clack."Echoing through the vacant Tiktoc lobby were the crisp clicks of high heels as two statuesque young women strode briskly forward.One, willowy with flowing tresses framing an exquisite visage, emanated an aura of enigmatic charm. The other, slightly taller, exuded a softer warmth, her d

    "Though you're terribly busy nowadays managing everything, not to mention juggling a romance with Ava while fending off other infatuated ladies, especially those insufferable TV hosts. Oh, I know! Introduce me to the mentor who imparted these incredible skills - I'll seek his tutelage myself!" "..." Bella pouted mischievously, her tongue lolling playfully as the words flowed unchecked."..." Ava gazed on, equally bemused. "..." Evan could only shake his head in resignation.The old adage proves true - two women outmatch a hundred songbirds. Especially these two emotionally charged beauties, whose rapid-fire volleys transformed Evan's office into a delightful symphony of effervescent chatter, pleasantly clamorous yet melodious.Once Bella and Ava exhausted their queries, Evan waved his hands in mild exasperation."There, I've confessed everything crucial, so trust your feminine intuition. When you suspected it was me behind endeavors like 'Wealthy Smith', the anonymous songwriter, th

    Pushing through the glass doors into Splendid Music Media Company's lobby, Evan's gaze fell upon over three hundred boxes of Lay's chips surrounded by sickly, green-faced employees."Ahem."He cleared his throat pointedly, halting the fleeing Sean with a wicked grin. "And just where might you be scurrying off to, Mr. Sean?""Mr. Smith, you're here!" Sean appeared utterly dejected, clutching his abdomen. "Good morning sir. My apologies, but I'm afraid I cannot properly receive you. Consuming these Lay's has severely disrupted my digestion. In just this past hour, I've...visited the restroom six agonizing times without any...relief.""Very well, don't let me detain you. Simply direct me to the raw footage requiring my post-production efforts." Evan could scarcely stifle his laughter."Mr. Smith, speak with Department Head Black about that. No, no, he's taken ill and stayed home today due to...stomach pains. Then try Deputy Head Ferguson? Oh, but he too called out sick. Hmm, perhaps Supe

    "I am grateful for Mr. Smith's guidance! Your words shall be etched into my memory!" Adam respectfully ended the call.Immediately after hanging up, Evan set his industrious right hand aside, allowing it to operate independently, while accessing the "Superpower Market" section within the Super Rich System with his consciousness.Entering the marketplace, he directly searched for "gaming"!His retinal display instantly presented an array of futuristic technological items far surpassing the current era, including "Virtual Gaming Headsets," "Simulation Gaming Warehouses," "Super Gaming Glasses," and more."Wait, aren't these headsets and gaming warehouses supposed to be matched one-to-one with specific games?" Evan's brow furrowed in puzzlement before clicking on the "Virtual Gaming Headset," suddenly enlightened by its description: "This headset is compatible with all games, allowing the wearer to physically immerse themselves within the game world. An unparalleled, fully immersive expe

    Without hesitation, Evan chose "Survival Island," intending to use this game as a backdrop, infusing it with his own elements before unveiling the gaming glasses to set Elysia ablaze!"Player has selected Survival Island. Now loading game."Evan's surroundings flickered incessantly until successfully loading five seconds later. Upon completion, the digital environment transformed into Survival Island's main menu, identical to the one he had previously experienced on his computer!"Team Match!" Evan casually tapped the four-player squad mode, eager to immerse himself in the glasses' experience, even if pitted against four opponents!With a "click," the scene flashed, and he found himself instantaneously transported to a deserted island, surrounded by a steady stream of emerging players, his curiosity intensifying. Impulsively, he reached out and groped a nearby girl!"Damn, the tactile sensation is uncannily realistic, almost indistinguishable from a real person!" Evan exclaimed in ast

    "You dare sneak attack me?" Timothy Daniels spat as he rose from the ground, clutching his face. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Do you realize that slapping an Immortal Emperor is a crime punishable by death? You, an insignificant ant, dare to insult the dignity of this Emperor?""Idiot," Evan muttered, watching Timothy bare his teeth in frustration, the word slipping from his lips with a casual indifference."Fuck! Do you really think I’m just a kitten with no claws?" Timothy roared, his rage finally boiling over. He raised his hands, forming seals in the air and casting several spells in quick succession.Golden light burst from his body, transforming into a vicious, snarling black bear that lunged at Evan with a roar.This was a strike Timothy had infused with every ounce of his power. He was certain Evan would be sent flying, just as he had been moments before.After all, this blow carried the weight of a thousand pounds. Anyone who faced the charge of this monstrous bear was

    So why were they all bowing and offering him their utmost respect? The answer was obvious—this was undoubtedly the handiwork of Landon and Matthew.Hmm, I’ll have to remind them not to do this again, Evan thought. It’s nice to receive all this admiration, sure, but I still need to maintain my low profile here in Elysia.Thus, he tried to provide an explanation, hoping his classmates would at least remain uncertain, if not entirely convinced.His words left his classmates dumbfounded, their minds swirling with confusion.After finishing his explanation, Evan casually strolled out, leaving behind a group of stunned classmates still trying to make sense of what had just happened."I don’t believe it. There’s no way Evan’s just an ordinary person. He must be someone much more important.""Do you think if we reported something, the embassy officials would really treat us the same way?""Probably not."Violet Mills and the other girls, watching Evan’s departing figure, felt a pang of disapp

    “They’re over there,” someone finally said.“Thank you.” The man moved gracefully toward them, handing each of them a formal letter.“This is a presidential decree signed by President Donald of Aleria. It states that your companies’ trade relations with our country have been terminated. Multiple violations of our foreign trade laws were discovered in the products and technologies your companies exported to Aleria.”After delivering the notices, the man turned toward Evan, bowing deeply. “President Donald asked me to convey his warm regards to you and to wish you good health.”Evan waved dismissively. “Got it. Tell that old man to take care of his own health as well.”“Thank you for your concern. I will pass along your message,” the man said before quietly leaving the room.Clang!The entire room seemed to tremble as the weight of the situation finally hit the classmates. Their minds were reeling, their understanding of the world shattering.Even a fool could now see that Evan was behi

    Violet Mills and the other pretty girls were now completely love-struck, their eyes filled with admiration, their faces flushed with desire.Wow, Evan’s handsome, he’s rich, and he’s kind. Does he have a girlfriend? If he does, would he mind having another?Meanwhile, Wayne, Juliette, and the other classmates who had cozied up to Timothy were fuming, their hair practically standing on end with regret. Why did we ever suck up to Timothy Daniels? they thought bitterly. Evan’s the real deal!Had they stuck with Evan, they’d have grabbed at least $1 million by now!As for Timothy Daniels and his group, they sat there in stunned silence, their minds reeling, their faces ashen, completely frozen like statues.$20 million… How are we supposed to compete with that?Even if we could somehow come up with that much cash, we’d be bleeding money, and our companies would have no liquidity left. We’d be bankrupt in no time!This is humiliating. Evan didn’t just slap our faces; he’s dragged us throug

    When they opened it, their eyes widened in shock, their jaws dropping as they stared at the numbers on their screens. The gasps that filled the room were stifled, as if the air itself had been sucked out.For five seconds, the room was dead silent.Then, the box erupted with ear-splitting shrieks."Holy crap! Evan just sent $1 million! Oh my God, I just grabbed $100,000!""Fuck, Evan’s the real hidden tycoon here! A $1 million envelope? I got $100,000 too!"Thud.Timothy Daniels and the others’ phones slipped from their hands.They sat there, dumbfounded, as if they’d been struck by lightning.Evan, the poor kid, sent a $1 million red envelope?How did he suddenly become so rich?A million dollars? That’s nearly half a year’s profit for Timothy’s company, and an entire year and a half of revenue for Jeff and Matt’s businesses!"Are you going to keep sending envelopes?" Evan asked, his voice light, as if the $1 million he had just given away was nothing more than pocket change.Well, i

    "Send red envelopes?"Timothy Daniels froze for a moment, then burst into loud, disdainful laughter, his whole body shaking as if he had just heard the funniest joke of 2024. His belly jiggled as he pointed at Evan, laughing so hard he could barely speak."Did you all hear that? He says he wants to send us red envelopes! Hahaha! A notorious pauper like Evan wants to give us—millionaires and billionaires—red envelopes? What a joke!"Jeff, Matt, Bobby, and the rest of the so-called "young entrepreneurs" doubled over with laughter, while Patrick clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he sounded like a squealing pig."He said he’s going to send us red envelopes?""Talk about overestimating himself! This is what they call biting off more than you can chew. Poor Evan, this is the very definition of delusion!"The classmates in the room, including Violet Mills and the other pretty girls, furrowed their brows in disapproval, clearly displeased with Timothy and his friends’ words. Yet, at the

    Unable to get a rise out of him, Matt fell silent. But Timothy, his eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint, smiled slyly and said, "Evan, we all know your situation—and we know you have your pride. It’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to accept help in front of everyone. So how about this? We’ll give you a job at my company.""I know you worked at TikToC before. Well, whatever they paid you, I’ll double it. You’ll never have to worry about money again."His words were dripping with condescension, and the classmates, especially Violet Mills and the other girls, felt a wave of discomfort wash over them. The disdain in Timothy’s offer was all too clear.But Evan didn’t seem to care. Setting down his tea, he glanced indifferently at Timothy and said, "No, really, that won’t be necessary."What?!Timothy and his friends could feel their tempers rising.What the hell is with this guy? Is he completely immune to money?How could anyone not care about money in a world like this?Withou

    The applause that followed was thunderous. Yet Violet Mills and the other outliers remained disconnected, still absorbed in their phones.Timothy’s friends—Jeff, Matt, Bobby, and Patrick—stood up amidst the applause, bowing slightly to the crowd, their eyes subtly scanning the female classmates at the table."Mr. Daniels is too kind," one of them said. "We’re just playing small-time, earning a living. We hope to collaborate with Mr. Daniels in the future to make even more money!"These were the same classmates who had mocked Evan over the phone earlier.As they were about to sit down, someone in the crowd suddenly muttered something that cut through the air like an unexpected gust of wind."We’re here for a class reunion, not to suck up to the rich. If you want to worship the wealthy, why not go after the new billionaire that just emerged in Lumina City?""And by the way, for all your wealth, I haven’t seen you do anything nice for the rest of us classmates. Maybe you should take a pa

    Evan sauntered down the sidewalk, hands clasped behind his back, his pace seemingly leisurely. To an observer, he appeared to be out for a casual stroll, but in reality, each step he took covered dozens of meters in a flash, as if he were teleporting. The passersby barely had time to register his presence before the sound of air slicing filled their ears."My God, was that a person who just passed by? How was he moving so fast?""It was a person! Faster than a plane! And the weird thing is, he looked so relaxed, like he was taking a walk in the park!""…"And so, without breaking a sweat, Evan arrived at Clark Hotel, his breath as steady as if he had never hurried at all.Upon entering the hotel lobby, he walked over to the front desk. "Excuse me, could you tell me where Timothy’s event is being held?"The receptionist didn’t recognize Evan. After all, it was usually people like Adam who dealt with the public affairs, and even when Evan had hosted meals for actors and directors like C
