The Super Rich: From Zero to the Top of the World! - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Reaching the Peak of Life at the Start!

In 2019, the results of the college entrance examination (Gaokao) were announced in Shengqing City. At the Tianhu Residential Complex, a young man looked at the information displayed on his phone screen showing his Gaokao results.

…

An Liang’s Results.

Chinese: 91

Mathematics: 90

English: 110

Science: 132

Total: 423

An Liang looked at the score. He knew that he was done for. Although this score was decent, it was still only at the level of a second-tier university at best.

‘Ding! The Life Winner System has been loaded!’

A notification sound appeared in An Liang’s mind.

An Liang remained calm. After the Gaokao, he had read many web novels online, so he had encountered similar situations before.

System?

An Liang tried to silently think.

‘The Life Winner System is at your service!’ The system responded.

‘Congratulations, host, you have received the blessing of fate!’

‘For every second the host exists, you will earn 0.1 yuan.’

Although An Liang had barely passed the math section of the Gaokao, he easily calculated the weight of this blessing. 0.1 yuan per second meant 6 yuan per minute, 360 yuan per hour, 8,640 yuan per day, and 259,200 yuan per month, which translated to an annual income of over 3 million yuan.

This blessing meant that An Liang had directly surpassed 99% of the population. The Life Winner System displayed more information in An Liang’s mind.

…

Host.

An Liang

Level: Lv1

Blessing: 0.1 yuan/second

Experience: 0/100,000

Attractiveness: 70

An Liang raised an eyebrow. A tall and handsome guy with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes like himself only had an attractiveness rating of 70?

Before he could think further, a notification sound came from his phone. Someone had tagged everyone in the class’s group chat on QQ. An Liang opened the group chat to check the situation.

In the QQ group of Class 6 of the senior year, the class monitor, He Siming, had tagged everyone. As an admin, he naturally had the right to do so.

[He Siming: Everyone, the Gaokao results are out today. If you did well, we should celebrate, and if not, let’s vent our frustrations. I propose a gathering at Taoyuan Hotpot tonight.] [Qu Bo: I agree! I performed exceptionally well. In the second and third mock exams, I only scored around 550, but this time I managed to get 601. I want to celebrate!] [Li Kun: I agree! I did poorly this time. I usually score over 500, but this time I only got 462. Looks like I can only go to a second-tier university. I want to drown my sorrows in alcohol tonight.] [Sun Feifei: Taoyuan Hotpot is okay. I can join.] [Li Li: Joining +1] [Zhou Kang: @Li Xiyan: Are you coming, goddess?]

Li Xiyan was considered the academic goddess of Class 6. Not only was she good at studying, but she was also cute, with a height of 1.68 meters and a body that made her seem like a cheat code for academic success.

Zhou Kang asked the question that every boy in Class 6, including An Liang, wanted to know: “Is Li Xiyan coming?”

As for a goddess like Li Xiyan, An Liang naturally had feelings for her, but in school, he was just an ordinary guy. His grades were mediocre, and although he was a bit handsome, he was still far from being incredibly good-looking.

Thus, An Liang’s interactions with Li Xiyan had only been limited to classmates.

Li Xiyan: “@An Liang: Are you coming?”

An Liang had been lurking in the group chat, quietly observing. His relationship with Li Xiyan was purely as classmates, and now she had tagged him and asked if he was going. What was going on?

He Siming saw that Li Xiyan had tagged An Liang, and immediately, jealousy surged within him. Everyone in Class 6 knew that He Siming liked Li Xiyan and had unilaterally considered her his girlfriend. In terms of academic performance, no one in Class 6 did better than him, but in terms of family background, he was on top as well.

He Siming: “@An Liang: How many points did you get?”

Qu Bo, who was a lackey of He Siming, saw that He Siming was going to target An Liang, and immediately followed suit.

Qu Bo: “Based on An Liang’s mock exam scores, he probably didn’t even score 450, right?”

In fact, An Liang’s Gaokao score didn’t exceed 450, and the mock exams provided some significant reference points.

Li Kun: “@An Liang: Are you joining the gathering?”

An Liang scrolled through the previous records. He Siming had already boasted in the group that he had scored 626 points, an impressive performance that surpassed An Liang by 203 points. If An Liang attended the gathering, He Siming would surely start showing off.

‘Ding!’

‘Random task: High school class reunion.’

‘Option 1: The host attends the high school reunion and will receive a Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.8T, as well as [Expert Level] driving skills.’

‘Option 2: The host refuses to attend the reunion and will receive the title [Ninja Turtle].’

‘Note 1: The system’s rewards come from various investment markets and are legally untraceable funds, causing no financial or legal risks.’

‘Note 2: The driving skills will be transferred through memory and muscle memory, and the legality of the driver’s license will be ensured from the causal law perspective. The host can use it with confidence.’

Such options, should An Liang even consider it?

‘Option 1!’

An Liang responded in his mind.
