5 The Countdown for the Invasion of Online Games

"I checked before I came. Everything is normal. There's no money laundering."

The subordinate looked puzzled and said, "The player who reloaded money in his account was the one who sold tens of billions of yuan worth of assets a few days ago. He's the CEO of the Supreme Emperor Group, Bai Zun."

"A billion is nothing to him."

"So, there's no problem?" The director's voice was faint.

"Currently, it seems like there aren't any." The subordinate nodded.

"Then it's fine. You can go back to work."

The director nodded and signaled for his subordinate to leave.

Since there was no problem with the game, the rich could just reload as much money as they wanted. They could also pay more taxes to the country.

The other party gained happiness, and the game manufacturer gained money. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

The director was busy. He quickly ignored this matter and continued to deal with the things at hand.

On the other side.

Soon, it was 11 a.m.

Bai Zun was also woken up by the alarm clock.

Bai Zun turned off the alarm clock and looked at the time.

There were still eight days until the invasion of the online game!

Two days had passed.

Bai Zun got up and washed up.

Afterward, Bai Zun picked up his phone, opened the game forum, and looked at the messages.

Bai Zun saw that the post he posted before he went to bed had received an astonishing 5,000 replies!

However, only a small number of them had applied to join the guild. Most of them were discussing Bai Zun's identity.

Ignoring the useless replies, Bai Zun spent the entire afternoon selecting 100 players who were qualified to join the guild.

The sky was dark, and the Nightmare Guild welcomed a hundred new members.

Bai Zun even contacted Ye Shuishui and asked about her progress in the game.

Ye Shuishui obediently reloaded 100 million yuan into the game and was now in the top 100 of the major rankings.

Bai Zun was very satisfied with Ye Shuishui's serious attitude toward the game.

Bai Zun invited Ye Shuishui into the Nightmare Guild and gave her the identity of the vice president.

Moreover, Bai Zun sent Ye Shuishui another one billion yuan.

"Boss... This..."

Ye Shuishui immediately called Bai Zun after receiving one billion yuan in her bank account.

"When you have time, contact all 100 people in the guild. Pay each of them 10 million yuan and ask them to reload the money into the game." Bai Zun gave a short instruction before hanging up the phone.

Bai Zun left Ye Shuishui staring at the one billion yuan in her bank account with a dumbfounded expression.

Ye Shuishui thought, "This…"

"When did my boss become a money-giver?"

"He just simply gives away one billion yuan?"

Ye Shuishui was confused.

However, since the boss wanted to do so, he naturally had his reasons.

Ye Shuishui didn't think much about it and started to do as Bai Zun instructed.

It took Ye Shuishui two days to distribute the one billion yuan.

During that time, Bai Zun was once again discussed by numerous netizens.

[Don't scream: Have you heard? The Lord of the Sword transferred 10 million yuan to each of his guild's members! He even told them to reload the money into the game!]

[My silica girlfriend: Wow! If I had known earlier, I would have signed up too! The Lord of the Sword is too generous! He just simply gives out one billion yuan?]

[I love to eat sugar-coated haws: Is it black money? If he obtained money through improper means, he wouldn't have any psychological pressure to spend it.]

[Frosting the nineteen states with a sword: I'm envious. Now, the problem is, if I got 10 million yuan but didn't reload the money into the game, what would happen to me?]

[Dairy cow: I heard that the Lord of the Sword has an assistant. His assistant created a group to follow up on every member's reload progress. If members don't reload the money into the game, they will be kicked out of the guild.]

[Canned Cat: What about the money? Do they need to return the money?]

[Electric fan: I heard that they don't have to return the money. However, 10 million yuan is nothing to a billionaire like the Lord of the Sword.]

[Charger: As the old saying goes, "Stupid people have more money!" If he spent money in such a way, tens of billions of yuan would be enough for him to squander in a few days!]

[The blooming and withering of flowers: Games are harmful!]

[...]

Almost every netizen was laughing at Bai Zun for "spending money in such a stupid way."

However, Bai Zun didn't care.

In another six days, when the online game invaded, everyone would naturally know who the joke was.

There were still a few days before the invasion of the online game, and Bai Zun's account could no longer be upgraded.

Therefore, Bai Zun built a freezer at home and spent a lot of money to stock up on large quantities of meat and vegetables to survive the early stages of the online game invasion.

When the invasion of online games began, the human world entered a period of turmoil. However, after the period of turmoil ended, everything would take a new step forward.

There was no need to stock up on too much meat and vegetables. In the future, mutated beast meat will become popular in the human world. Not only was the meat plump and delicious, but it could also provide a small number of experience points.

Bai Zun spent three days stocking up on vegetables and meat products.

There were still three days before the invasion of the online game!

Now, Ye Shuishui relied on the 100 million yuan Bai Zun had given her to rush to second place on the various rankings!

Although Ye Shuishui was second, there was still a huge gap between her and Bai Zun.

Since Bai Zun had so much money that he couldn't use it all, he transferred another billion yuan to Ye Shuishui so that she could improve her strength in the game.

Ye Shuishui was stunned when she received the money.

Afterward, Ye Shuishui reloaded all the money into the game in a dumbfounded state.

Apart from Ye Shuishui, the members of the Nightmare Guild also advanced by leaps and bounds under Bai Zun's financial support.

They almost occupied all the rankings.

The top seven of the rankings were all members of the Nightmare Guild!

Bai Zun was firmly in the first place.

On the other hand, Bai Zun made the game, "Dimensional Space" even more popular and attracted many new players.

Some rich people played the game like legends. They simply reloaded tens of millions of yuan into the game.

As time slowly passed, it also carried the peaceful world step by step into the abyss.

There were still two days before the invasion of the online game.

Bai Zun began to meditate and condense his energy to welcome the arrival of the new world.

Bai Zun had made all the preparations that he needed to make. Everything was ready, except for the crucial event!

On 19 July 2333.

12:00 p.m.

Bai Zun woke up on his big bed in the villa.

Bai Zun raised his head and looked out the window. The calm and bright sunlight might not be seen again after today.

It was the last 12 hours of the old world!

Bai Zun picked up his phone and called Ye Shuishui.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm… I'm at home."

On the other side, Ye Shuishui had just finished washing her underwear and hadn't had time to dry it when she received a call from Bai Zun.

"Come to my house before 4 p.m. I have something to tell you." Bai Zun instructed Ye Shuishui over the phone.

"Oh, alright." Ye Shuishui nodded.

After that, the call was hung up.

Ye Shuishui hurriedly dried her underwear. She didn't wait until 4 p.m. but rushed to Bai Zun's villa after 12 p.m.

Ye Shuishui knew that her boss liked people who arrived early.

Soon, Ye Shuishui arrived at the villa.

Ye Shuishui rang the doorbell, and the door opened.

Ye Shuishui proficiently walked to the living room and saw Bai Zun sitting on the sofa in a white shirt. His expression was calm, but he still revealed a faint majesty.

Ye Shuishui thought, "My boss is still so domineering."

Ye Shuishui smiled as she approached the sofa.

After glancing at Ye Shuishui, Bai Zun withdrew his gaze and said, "How many people are left in the guild?" 

"80 people."

Ye Shuishui sat down on the opposite side of the sofa and tapped her chin with her fair fingers as if she were recalling something. She then said, "Yesterday, I fired ten people in one go. They all took the money and didn't reload the money into the game."

The online game invasion hadn't started. If the first-generation members of the Nightmare Guild wanted to stay in the guild after the invasion and follow Bai Zun, the first hurdle was to resist the temptation of money and do as Bai Zun said.

However, Bai Zun had only recruited 100 people. Therefore, he was surprised that 80 of them had resisted the temptation of spending the money but reloaded them into the game.

Bai Zun's original goal was to have 10 people remain loyal.

The first-generation members didn't need to be many, but they needed to be loyal. In the future, when the online game invaded the real world, wouldn't there be as many members as Bai Zun wanted?

"Great."

Bai Zun nodded lightly, then looked at Ye Shuishui with a solemn expression. He said, "Don't go home tonight. Stay here until midnight!"
