Chapter 5

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.

Chapter 6

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.

Chapter 7

Claire was lying in bed in her dormitory and she could not sleep.

Tonight, her three roommates went on a blind date with the boys from the male dormitory.

She found an excuse and said she was not feeling well so she did not have to go. In reality, she did not join this kind of activity. After all, her family background was not as good as the other three. Her family had basically used every penny they had to send her to music school. Sometimes, she would still go because she could not find an excuse to say no.

Right now, she was glad that she did not go. If not, she would have missed out on this big shot’s gifts.

He directly gave her 2.6 million. Even those popular streamers rarely encountered situations like this, let alone a small streamer like her.

Before she ended her stream, there were people from guilds contacting her. They said they wanted to partner with her and they would help her go up the ranks. They even said they would contact two popular streamers to collaborate with her so that Lil Match would be triggered. With his generosity, he might even give them tens of millions.

The guild knew the temper of this big shot. What did big shots care about the most? Their reputations of course. They could not embarrass themselves in front of their favorite streamers. As long as they could target this weak spot, then this big shot would keep giving out gifts.

Of course, the guilds boosted streamers on the rankings to scam the gullible. Claire would not get a penny of this, and might only get a percentage of the money the gullible gave her.

However, Claire rejected them. She did not want to scam David out of his money like this. Finally, she was even threatened. The other party told her that they would make her lose her job as a streamer.

Claire did not know if she would regret her decision. Plus, she also did not know if this was just a spur of the moment thing for David.

Besides, she needed to think about how she could appropriately improve her family’s living conditions with this over one million dollars she got from the donation, which was what she was allotted.

Because of all this, it was all but destined that she would lose sleep tonight.

In the meantime, David’s Instagram was blowing up. The photo of River Leeds that David posted had gotten more than 100 comments.

He managed to get a really good angle, so it was clear that he took this photo from a unit above the 30th floor in South River International Residence.

Where was South River International Residence? It was the most expensive property in South River Province. One square meter would cost 200 thousand dollars minimum, so a small unit would cost 50 million at least.

And David just posted a photo taken from here!

Comment 1: [David, where did you steal this photo from? The angle is superb!]

Comment 2: [Dave, are you working as a part time cleaner here? Can you refer me to that job? Maybe I can make some nouveau riche friends there.]

Comment 3: [Dave, are you a sugar baby to a rich woman? Do you still have any contacts? I don’t want to work hard anymore.]

There were all kinds of comments, but no one asked David whether he bought a unit there.

It was already late morning when David woke up the next day. After he washed up, he walked to the window and looked out at the scenery of the River Leeds. David still felt as if he was dreaming.

“What should I do today?

“Right, I’m going to buy a car.”

Suddenly, David remembered that he still did not know how to drive.

‘What should I do then?

‘Should I find a driver?

‘Having a driver is not as fun as driving the car myself.

‘Plus, do I even need a driver if I’m buying a sport’s car?

‘Isn’t that such a colossal joke?’

If he went to get a driver’s license now, he would only get it in at least one month.

David felt that he could not wait another month.

Then, David remembered that there was a skill column in the system and he could add whatever skill he wanted freely.

So, David pulled up the interface.

He had another lavish point. Since he topped up ten million on TikTok last night, he had spent a total of 500 million now. Hence, he had another lavish point.

David clicked the plus sign behind the skill column and entered ‘driving’.

Then, the system started loading.

A few seconds later, David felt that he that his brain had suddenly been filled with knowledge, and it was all about driving.

He knew where the brake was, where the accelerator was, and where the clutch was.

He also knew how to start the car, how to change gears, how to turn, and how to reverse the car.

It felt as if he had driven a car before and it all felt so real.

David was excited.

This system was amazing.

Right now, he wanted badly to have a car in front of him so he could try it out.

After he left his home, he walked to the Golden Leaf Hotel.

When he was at the door, Pearl came to welcome him.

“Mr. Lidell, breakfast is ready. Please come with him.”

David figured that Pearl was very professional because she knew to behave within the norms.

Last night, she was calling him darling on Instagram and it felt so intimate. Yet, today, it was Mr. Lidell.

David figured it was good for her to have a clear distinction between her work and private life.

After breakfast, Pearl purposely got close to David when they were walking out of the hotel. She whispered in his ear, “David, darling, don’t forget our appointment.”

The beautiful woman’s breath landed on David’s ear, and it turned him into jelly. He cursed silently in his heart, “You minx!”

David spent another hundred of thousands to change his outfit.

As the saying went, apparel made a man.

After David changed out of his cheap clothes into branded clothes, his appearance changed beyond recognition. Plus, he also added four lavish points to his body last night.

He looked more refreshed now, and seemed completely different from yesterday.

He looked like the son from a rich family.

If he wore this to the showroom, he would not be ignored for a few minutes in the lobby.

After he changed his clothes, he walked to a Benz specialty shop.

He had his eyes on a Benz G-Class the moment he went there. After he paid, he drove away immediately.

Since he changed his outfit, none of the salespeople looked down on him and then got a slap in the face when he swiped his card to pay.

David did not feel awkward driving the brand new Benz G-Class. At that moment, he felt that the system was truly amazing.

However, he had a question. He knew how to drive, but he did not have a license.

How would he get one?

It seemed that no one around him had this ability.

Pearl?

David figured that Pearl might know how to get him one. After all, she was a lobby manager in an eight-star hotel, so she should know a lot of powerful people.

Hence, he drove to the entrance of Golden Leaf Hotel and called Pearl.

“Darling, you’re missing little old me?” Pearl’s charming voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Miss Pearl, I need your help,” David said, going straight to the point.

“What can I help you with? Just tell me. I will do it as long as I can.”

“Can you come out for a chat? I’m outside the hotel in a new Benz G-Class on the left. The one without the license plate.”

“Alright, darling. Wait for me, I’m coming.”

In less than 5 minutes of Pearl hanging up the phone, she appeared outside David’s car.

Pearl asked after she got into the passenger’s seat, “How can I help you?”

“I want to get a driver’s license. Do you know anyone who can do that? Money’s not a problem,” David said directly.

‘Driver’s license?’ Pearl was curious. How would a super rich child like David not have a driver’s license at this age? However, since he did not say anything, she did not ask.

“This shouldn’t be hard. When do you want it?” Pearl asked.

“As soon as possible.”

“Give me your identification card. I’ll snap a picture of it.”

“Alright.”

David took out his identification card and handed it to Pearl.

After Pearl took it, he snapped a picture of it before sending it to someone.

Then, she made a call.

“Hello? Girl, I’ve sent you a picture of an identification card. Can you ask your husband to get a driver’s license for me as soon as possible?

“Alright, okay, I got it. Thanks, girl. Thank your husband for me too.”

Pearl hung up and told David, “The soonest you can get it is this afternoon.”

“Alright, thanks, Miss Pearl. How much is it? I’ll transfer it to you.”

“Don’t talk about money. Since you’re showing me so much respect by calling me Miss Pearl, then don’t be so courteous with me.”

“Alright, are you free then? Go to a place with me.” David stopped being courteous.

“I’ll make time even if I’m not free if you’re the one asking.”

“Alright, sit tight. Let’s go.”

David started the car and left Golden Leaf Hotel.

I'm A Quadrillionaire
