After David finished his meal and was walking out of the eight-star hotel, he looked at the hotel entrance behind him. Pearl and a few attendants were sending him off while bowing. At that moment, David felt that the world was truly wonderful.

‘Who is Sarah Jensen anyway?

‘If I am willing, I can have a harem right now.’

What should he do next?

Of course, he should buy a house.

David did not want to stay in the dormitory anymore. There were four boys in one room, but now, only two of them were actively staying there. The other two were renting a place outside of campus with their girlfriends.

Moreover, he heard his remaining roommate was also madly in love with his girlfriend and was also planning to move out.

David initially wanted to rent a house with Sarah outside of campus, but Sarah refused no matter what he said.

When he thought about Sarah sleeping with Leo, David felt a pang of pain in his heart.

‘F*ck, I should have just used force back then. I let that punk gain all the advantages now,’ David cursed in his heart.

At this moment, David’s crappy second-hand phone rang.

He took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was from his roommate, Patrick Reed.

Even though he had moved out to live a simple life with his girlfriend, he and David were still very close since they had stayed together for more than a year.

Besides, the rent for the dormitory and the tuition fees were bound together. Even though he did not stay in the campus dormitories, he had already paid the rent thus nobody took up his spot in the room, so he would occasionally go back to their dormitory to play games.

David answered the phone.

“Dave, where are you? The three of us are in the infirmary but Dr. Shelton said you left. I heard what happened to you. Don’t do anything stupid, keep an open mind. Out with the old, in with the new. When you feel better, we’ll host a blind date to find a better person for you.” Patrick’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

David felt comfort when he heard that. He replied, “Pat, what are you thinking? Why would I do something so stupid? Don’t worry. I’ll come back soon.”

“You sure?”

“I’m sure!”

“Tell me where you are now. We’ll come to find you.”

“Don’t. I’m already home. Don’t worry. I’ll be back in two to three days.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really!”

“It’s good for you to go back and relax. Think about your family who loves you and us three.”

“Alright, I’m not that stupid. Don’t worry! I’m hanging up now!”

South River International Residence.

The houses here were the most expensive in South River Province.

The average price per square meter started from two hundred thousand dollars.

Of course, this place was also in the prime location.

The entire South River International Residence was surrounded by the River Leeds. There was only one exit, while the remaining three sides were all facing the river.

Hence, the view was spectacular.

There were only six buildings here, and each of them was 38 stories tall. The smallest unit would be 200 square meters while the biggest one would be more than a thousand square meters.

This was truly the gathering place of the riches.

Luxury cars were parked everywhere in the parking lot and one would be too embarrassed to drive their cars that cost less than millions inside.

David walked into the showroom of South River International Residence.

When he entered the lobby, it seemed a little empty. Five to six salesladies were sitting together while they chatted. When they saw David, none of them wanted to approach him.

The South River International Residence had been selling for three years and yet there were still unsold units because it was too expensive. A small unit would cost tens of millions, so not everyone could afford to buy it.

When it started selling, a lot of people came to view the houses. The ones who could afford to buy all them bought them in the past two years. The ones who could not afford them still could not afford them until now.

So, most of the staff who worked here since the start of the sale had already left. A lot of the sales ladies left with millions in their pockets.

After all, a unit would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of billions. They would be able to make a fortune with the commission alone. Back then, the commissions would be two thousandths and now, the new staff’s commission had increased to 1%. However, by now, it was very difficult to sell any of the units.

Thus, a lot of them only worked here because they were guaranteed a basic salary.

When they saw David, they could tell he was not here to buy a house based on his outfit. So, everyone continued to chat they did not plan to pay attention to him.

David felt a little awkward at this moment. The people chatting were clearly ignoring him and there was no one at the front desk. So, he did not know who to ask even if he had questions.

However, after David stood there for two to three minutes, a young woman about 26 to 27 years old walked out from the toilet of the showroom.

Jenny Ward started selling for South River International Residence last month. She only got in because her uncle gifted the boss ten thousand dollars worth of gifts.

She was from a small rural area. She thought she would make a fortune if she could come to such a high-end place to sell houses. However, after a month of working here, she did not even get a single customer.

She could count the number of customers coming to view the houses over the past month on two hands. When the customers entered the door, the old staff would fight to welcome them. They did not give her any chance at all. Hence, she did not sell a single house after more than a month of working here.

Today, she spotted a young man about her age standing in the lobby the moment she walked out of the toilet. Those old staff seemed to be ignoring him, so she walked over to him.

“Sir, are you here to view the houses?” Jenny walked to David and asked.

“Yes!” David answered.

Jenny was thrilled. Finally, she had a chance to bring a customer to view the house.

“What type of unit are you interested in, sir?”

“What type do you have?”

Then, Jenny proceeded to tell David a bunch of information about the houses.

There were not a lot of empty units left. So, David did not have a lot of choices.

In the end, David chose a 500 square meter penthouse on the 22nd floor of Block 3.

Jenny took the keys from the front desk and then they went to view the unit.

The moment the two left, the staff in the lobby began talking about them.

“He’s seriously here to view the unit? He seems to be wearing cheap clothes and he looks like a pauper to me. Does he know where he is?”

“Yes, he needs to work hard his whole life to afford one square meter. Only a newbie like Jenny would take him to view the unit. Isn’t this a waste of time?”

“He might be from a rural area and has no idea about the price of a house here. When he learns the price, he might be scared sh*tless, haha!”

“Yeah, let’s wait and watch him make a fool of himself later.”

Two hours later.

David and Jenny went back to the lobby of the showroom.

The two sat in the chairs on the side of the lobby. Then, Jenny brought David a cup of tea.

“Mr. Lidell, are you satisfied with what you saw?”

Jenny asked as she sat down opposite David.

“Not really. The location of Block 3 is not that great. Are there units in Block 1?”

David figured the location of Block 1 was the best. Since he wanted to buy a place, he would buy the best one. He had all the money in the world anyway.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Lidell. Let me check for you.”

Jenny picked up the tablet and started looking for David.

“Mr. Lidell, since the location of Block 1 is the best, there’s only one unit left. It’s on the top floor and it’s a large loft-style penthouse. It occupies the 37th and 38th floors of Block 1, and it’s the best unit in Block 1. The total area is 1300 square meters, so it’s a little costly. I don’t recommend you taking this unit.”

“Oh? Can we look at that?” David did not even ask the price and he immediately wanted to see the unit.

“Yes, but…”

“Alright then, let’s go!” David interrupted.

Jenny contemplated and answered, “Alright, Mr. Lidell. I’ll go get the keys.”

After Jenny got the keys and the two were about to go to view the unit, an old staff member in her thirties who still looked very attractive spoke from afar.

“Jenny, are you going to look at the best unit in Block 1?” She was closer to the duo, so she heard their conversation.

“Yes, Ms. James.”

“Jenny, I don’t want to criticize you, but not everyone who drops by can view the units here, let alone the best one in Block 1. The interior of the unit was designed by a very famous designer from overseas. Who’s going to pay for it if there’s any damage?”

“Ms. James, I’ll be very careful!”

“Jenny, you’re new so you don’t know the rules here. You need a good eye if you want to work in this field. Look at him, do you think he looks like someone who can afford a unit here?”

Ms. James pointed directly at David and said.

“Ms. James, I trust that Mr. Lidell is not someone like that.”

“Sigh, it’s fine if you don’t want to listen to me. However, you have to mop the floor after you come out. Don’t leave any footprints, understand?”

“I understand, Ms. James.”

After Jenny said that, she led David to the best unit in Block 1.

The moment they stepped through the door, David was stunned. There was no doubt, this was the best unit as the decorations and design were all extremely luxurious.

David walked to the french window that was 3 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. As he looked out at the scenery in front of him, he felt like he was on top of the world.

“Mr. Lidell, this is the best unit in Block 1. The glass on the french window in front of you is bullet-proof glass imported from overseas. It’s 10 centimeters thick and it won’t break even if someone shoots a guided missile at it. Plus, the opacity is very low, so it won’t affect the sunlight at all. This window alone is over ten million dollars. Also, the spectacular chandelier above you is imported from France. There are more than ten colors which you can change from.

“This is the kitchen.

“This is the study.

“This is the wine cellar.

“This is the toilet.

“This is the drawing room.

“This is the entertainment room.”

Then, the two went to the 28th floor.

“There’s an indoor swimming pool here. They will change the water according to the schedule every morning. Plus, the water they replace it with is germ-free water that’s been filtered. You can even directly drink it.”

After Jenny said that, she even scooped out some water to drink. The reason she did that was to make David believe that this water was very clean.

An hour had passed by the time the two of them were done.

After they walked out of the unit, Jenny said to David, “Mr. Lidell, you should go back to the showroom and rest for a while. I’ll be back after I mop the floor.”

Then, Jenny picked up a cloth to mop the floor.

“No need. I’m taking the unit.”

When Jenny heard what David said, her hand shook.

“M-Mr. Lidell, what did you say?”

“I said there’s no need, I’m taking the unit.”

“Really?”

“Of course!” David answered affirmatively.

“Thank you! Mr. Lidell, shall we get on with the procedures?” Jenny asked excitedly.

“Alright.”

The two of them went back to the showroom again.

Jenny felt as if she was in a dream as they were walking.

David wanted to buy this unit.

Just now, she did a little calculation. This unit’s total price was 398 million dollars and she could get a commission of 3.98 million. She had never seen so much money in her whole life. This amount was enough for her to buy ten houses in her county.

In truth, only a person who came from a rural place who had just joined the sales team like Jenny would believe David. If it were someone else, they would never believe that David could afford this unit. He looked like a beggar, yet he claimed to have 400 million for a house? They would never believe it, so of course, they would not take David to view the unit.

When they were back in the showroom, Jenny was busy preparing the contract. Then, she called the manager and the manager brought the person in charge of finance over.

By the time everything was done, it was already evening. However, none of the staff in the showroom left. They could not believe that Jenny had sold the best unit in Block 1.

They had to accept the truth after David paid. At the same time, their hearts were bleeding. It was 4 million. 4 million! David had been standing in the lobby for a few minutes and no one went to serve him. If any of them had approached him at that moment, the money would belong to one of them.

The woman named Ms. James wanted to slap herself right now. 4 million. Last year, she sold a unit worth 800 thousand, and to do that, she had to spend a whole month with a nouveau riche with a beer belly before he agreed to sign.

She had to suffer for a whole month only to make 800 thousand. Just now, Jenny only used half a day to make 4 million. She wanted to vomit blood right now.

After David walked out of South River International Residence, she called Pearl. Then, he spent more than ten thousand to buy a new phone after he ate dinner at the hotel. At the same time, he threw his second-hand phone into the trash.

After that, he went back to the top floor of Block 1 in South River International Residence. This place was already David’s house, and figured that he would stay here for a very long time.

He called his tutor at the university to ask for a few days of sick leave. The news about David vomiting blood and going into shock had spread throughout the campus, so his tutor would naturally know about it. Hence, his tutor did not cause any trouble for him.

David did not want to go to class these two days anyway. There would surely be a lot of people making fun of him if he did.

‘I’ll buy a luxury car tomorrow and drive it back to campus. I want to see who dares to laugh at me then.

‘Sarah, you gave up our three-year relationship for a bag that cost ten thousand dollars. I want to see if you regret it when I drive a car worth tens of millions back to campus. F*ck you.’

As he lay down on the imported leather sofa, he felt that the life of a rich person was so comfortable.

David looked at the interface in front of him.

[Host: David Lidell

[Balance: 9999999501986412 dollars

[Body: 15 (Weak) +

[Mind: 28 (Normal) +

[Skills: Can be added freely, needs to use up lavish points +

[Lavish points: 4]

There were plus signs behind his body, mind, and skills. Plus, he already had 4 lavish points.

David did not hesitate to add all 4 lavish points to his body.

Then, the 15 on his body immediately turned into 19.

At that moment, David felt his body warming up. His body was weak and had a lack of energy because he was malnourished for the past years, but now, he could feel that he was changing for the better.

He felt he was more energetic now. When he looked at his body, he looked stronger as well.

“So this is what happens?

“If I add a dozen lavish points on my body, won’t I become more powerful than Olympic champions?”

In that second, David felt that his life was so brilliant.

He took out his phone and looked at Instagram. There were two follow requests.

One was from Pearl and the other one was from Jenny.

David accepted both of them.

Soon after, Pearl sent him a message.

Pearl: [David, darling, are you asleep?]

David: [Not yet. Is there anything I can help you with?]

Pearl: [Can’t I send you a message if I don’t need anything?]

David: [Of course, you can! I’m more than happy to receive a message from you, Miss Pearl!]

Pearl: [You’re so sweet, honey. I have a day off on Sunday, are you free then? I want to ask you out for a swim.]

After David read the message, the image of Pearl wearing a bikini appeared in his head. Then, his body started to heat up.

‘Damn, she’s blatantly seducing me.’

How would he resist such seduction from a beautiful and fair woman with long legs?

In the end, David realized that he could not.

So, he replied.

David: [I am free. How would I not be free for Miss Pearl’s invitation?]

Pearl: [Alright. See you on Sunday!]

David: [Okay, Miss Pearl!]

Pearl: [Goodnight, darling.]

David: [Goodnight, Miss Pearl.]

David was hoping that Sunday would come fast.

After scrolling Instagram for a little longer, David felt bored. His social circle was small, so he only had some friends he was okay with on his Instagram. These were his classmates from junior high, senior high, and university. Their group chat was pretty lively too, but David rarely talked there. In addition to this, there were some of his relatives.

Sometimes, his roommates would message him to check up on him.

David’s parents died in an accident before he was even ten years old. Therefore, he stayed with his second uncle before he started senior high.

Back then, his three uncles fought relentlessly for custody over him. At that moment, his second uncle and aunt were extremely good to him, so David thought he would have a good life with his second uncle even though his parents were not around. Eventually, he chose his second uncle.

In the end, when his second uncle got custody of him, David’s life became a living hell. He was always beaten and scolded, plus, he was forced to also eat other’s leftovers. That was why he was very malnourished.

When he finally understood what was happening, he realized that they were not fighting for custody over him. Instead, they were fighting for the compensation worth about 2 million dollars from his parents.

When David started high school at 16, his second uncle never gave him a penny. If his aunts did not help him out, David would have dropped out of school.

Initially, the 2 million compensation was to be given to David when he turned 18, but, he had not seen a single cent until this day.

Because of this, his aunts and uncles fought a lot with his second uncle and second aunt. However, what could they do? The money was with them, and his second aunt even claimed that she spent the money on David throughout the years.

David did the math in his heart. He figured they did not even spend over 5 thousand dollars on him during all these years he had stayed with them. Basically, it was spent on some essential tuition fees when he was going to junior high and perhaps one or two clothes from the thrift store every year.

After David closed Instagram, he opened TikTok.

When he was bored, he liked to scroll through TikTok.

When he saw that the streamer he followed, Cheri was streaming, he quickly clicked to join the stream.

Cheri was a streamer that David followed a long time ago on TikTok. He followed her since she first started streaming, which was about a year ago.

David could be regarded as her first batch of fans. She started from having a few fans to having 50 thousand fans now.

Moreover, she went from having a few people, to a few dozen people, and now 2 to 300 people in her streams.

However, David never gifted her anything. He only liked her voice and enjoyed listening to her sing.

In truth, Cheri had the potential to become a star, but she only streamed her voice and not her face. This kind of stream would not attract the attention of the big shots because of the harsh reality, how many of them were here for music? Most of them were here to look at pretty girls.

Thus, even if her voice was sweet and she was good at singing, she was still a small-time streamer. She was not very popular and was not one of the big stars.

Because of what happened with Sarah, David had not watched Cheri’s stream in a month.

The moment he entered the stream, David heard the familiar voice singing ‘Un-break My Heart’.

“Un-break my heart.

“Say you'll love me again,

“Undo this hurt you caused,

“When you walked out the door,

“And out of my life.”

When David heard this song, tears welled up in his eyes.

A petty and low love would not have a good ending.

A simping fool would get nothing in the end.

After Cheri finished singing, she received a lot of gifts in her stream.

However, those were all small gifts that cost a few dollars or just over ten dollars. She did not receive any gifts worth more than a hundred dollars.

However, Cheri still thanked them by name one by one.

She was just a small streamer, so it was already great to have someone sending her gifts.

“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Rain.

“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Tall Mountain.

“Thank you for the first, Miss Love.”

David figured that since he did not lack money, he should buy some gifts for the streamer he liked.

With that, he decided to top up some money in his online wallet and topped up ten million at one go.

Then, he started buying gifts for Cheri.

He immediately bought the most expensive one—the World Star.

Cheri was still thanking the viewers who sent her gifts.

She would receive a few hundred gifts after streaming for a few hours every day. She could often get one to three hundred after that and was already very happy about it.

It was not that she did not want to show her face, but she was in her university’s dormitory, so it was inconvenient for her to do so. She had three roommates staying with her and they were dressed very casually since they were in their dorm. Plus, she was studying music and she did not want others to give her gifts because they liked her face. Instead, she hoped they only bought her gifts because they liked her voice.

Big shots would message her saying that they wanted to meet her. They also said they would push her up the list of popular streamers, but she constantly rejected them. She felt like this was like a transaction. Even though she needed money, she did not want to do this kind of this.

Suddenly, she saw a flash across her stream.

‘Is this the effect of World Star?’

She had been streaming for over a year and she had never received a World Star. However, she had seen it in other people’s streams.

A World Star cost two thousand dollars and she normally needed to stream for a whole week to make two thousand, but now someone was giving her a World Star?

Cheri could not yet see who was the one giving her a World Star when she saw another flash.

A third one…

A fourth one…

The effect of the World Star kept appearing in Cheri’s stream.

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x 10]

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x11]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x 66]

If someone gifted a streamer over 66 World Stars, not only would it fill the stream, it would also be broadcast all over TikTok.

In an instant, a message saying that there was a nouveau riche in Cheri’s stream appeared in other streams.

“Damn, a nouveau riche appeared in a nameless stream. I need to see this.”

“Wait for me! I’m going too!”

Viewers poured into Cheri’s stream immediately. The number of viewers increased from 200 to a thousand plus, and the number kept increasing.

“Thank you for the World Stars, Mr. Lil Match! I’m so grateful!

“Kisses! Cheri loves you!”

Cheri was so excited she did not know what to say.

However, the effect never seemed to stop.

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x666]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x999]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x1314]

Finally, David stopped at 1314 World Stars, and it was also because he was tired.

Meanwhile, Cheri’s stream blew up. There were now 100 thousand people in her stream.

“F*ck me, Lil Match is such a baller.”

“Lil Match is so formidable!”

“Lil Match, my man, do you still need footmen?”

Cheri was a little stunned.

How much was 1314 World Stars?

If this was converted into money, it would be more than 2.6 million.

If she got half of it, it would be 1.3 million.

She looked at the person who sent her the gifts and saw it was a person named Lil Match. He had been following her since a long time ago, but he had never given her anything. She did not expect him to give her so much today.

So, Cheri quickly privately messaged him.

Cheri: [Thank you for the gifts, cutie. Can I follow you on Instagram?]

When David saw Cheri’s message, he sent her his username.

After a while, Cheri followed him.

Cheri: [Thank you for the gifts, cutie.]

David: [You’re welcome. I’ve been listening to you singing for so long and I’ve never sent you anything. I feel bad so I make up for all the times I didn’t give you anything in one go.]

Cheri: [Thank you for the support, cutie. If I have time, I’ll sing for you privately. My name is Claire Potter. What about you?]

David: [I’m David Lidell.]

The two talked about some random things while Claire kept on thanking David the whole time.

David walked to the french window that was 3 meters tall to look at the night view of River Leeds outside the window. It was bustling, and yet, very charming and beautiful.

Then, he used his phone to snap a few pictures of the night view and posted them on his Instagram.

His caption: [The night view on River Leeds is still so charming.]

David rarely posted on his Instagram. However, he was in a great mood today, so he could not help it.

After he posted the pictures, David was a little tired, so he lay on the luxurious bed that was 4 meters wide and fell asleep.

David had fallen asleep but the people on TikTok could not.

Especially those popular streamers.

Even though they were popular and the top three would make up to millions of dollars in a single stream, it was the guilds who gave them the money, while the streamers would not get a single cent. In reality, the streamers had to make money from the dummies that were not from any guilds who would send them money.

Just now, someone gifted a small streamer with more than 2.6 million in her stream. Plus, a small streamer like that would not have guilds to back her up. So, the person who bought her those gifts was definitely a big shot.

Why did they not get such a gigantic money bag?

With that, those popular streamers started to look into Cheri’s streams, trying to see if they could get that big shot to join their side.
