Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

The Ten Thousand Iron Riders are still at the banquet, but the news that Lu Xiaobu is clashing directly with the number one on the Rich List for the sake of a security guard and has put a fortune on the line has already spread worldwide.

Instantly, the entire world was in uproar.

"Oh my God, is it true? Has Lu Xiaobu gone crazy again? Going to war? Is the thirty-ninth on the Rich List going to war with the first?"

"Not only is he going to war, but he has also set a timeline for himself: Two months! In two months! Four hundred billion?"

"Is he crazy? Is this a decision a normal person would make? Four hundred billion in two months, two hundred billion in a month, sixty-six billion a day! More than two billion an hour!? Even a money-printing machine doesn’t work that fast!"

"Wow, if you hadn’t broken it down, I wouldn’t have realized, more than two billion an hour? Per minute, how much is that? Over four million?"

"If the Lu Group actually manages it, doesn’t that mean that the money we earn in a lifetime is less than what they earn in a minute?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible to achieve!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"It seems like you all are focusing on the wrong issue, shouldn’t you be focusing on the reason behind all this? Lu Xiaobu did this for the sake of a security guard!"

"For the sake of a security guard, a decision like this? Four hundred billion, in two months, just for one security guard?"

"Oh my God! When you put it like that, it makes my head spin even more. What kind of security guard is this? Is he related to Lu Xiaobu?"

"Even if he’s a relative, it doesn’t make this decision any less insane! What kind of relative is worth four hundred billion?"

"To put it bluntly, in today’s society, a human life, no, even ten human lives, are not worth four hundred billion!"

"Exactly! And I can tell you clearly, that security guard is not related to Lu Xiaobu! He’s just a security guard, an ordinary yet extraordinary one!"

"How so? What do you mean by ordinary yet extraordinary?"

"Ordinary, in that he’s a security guard! Extraordinary, in that he is part of the Ten Thousand Iron Riders!"

"The Ten Thousand Iron Riders!"

"Indeed, the Ten Thousand Iron Riders!"

"..."

A name already well-known like thunder in everyone’s ears, and at this moment, it struck everyone’s hearts again like rolling thunder, leaving their minds blank!

The Ten Thousand Iron Riders!

Yes, the Ten Thousand Iron Riders!

The very same Ten Thousand Iron Riders for whom Lu Xiaobu is willing to go bankrupt and walk into madness!

The very same Ten Thousand Iron Riders who, on Lu Xiaobu’s command, would fight desperately!

And today, the very Ten Thousand Iron Riders for whom Lu Xiaobu issued a forty billion-challenge for the sake of a security guard!

Such an existence commands respect and even envy.

There is even such a trend now that if you say your parents are some CEOs, not many people would care.

But, say you are a child of the Ten Thousand Iron Riders, and you’d instantly be surrounded by people!

Rich second generation? Sorry! It’s the children of the Ten Thousand Iron Riders who are the real objects of admiration!

Of course, the feelings towards the Ten Thousand Iron Riders remain just that.

However, people do not believe Lu Xiaobu’s claim of accomplishing four hundred billion in two months.

On one hand, their disbelief stems from common sense, something normal people wouldn’t believe! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

On the other hand, there’s a sense of pride at play!

After all, if Lu Xiaobu does achieve it, that would mean what Lu Xiaobu earns in a minute is more than many people earn in a lifetime.

This blow is too big, too cruel!

They can’t accept it!

This news has already stirred up massive waves among the ordinary people, let alone among those who truly understand how much four hundred billion is.

Second on the Second Level Rich List, Zhan Longyan.

He was sipping on red wine, savoring life.

Since losing in a confrontation with Lu Xiaobu, he and Xia Jie have taken entirely different paths.

Xia Jie is trying every way to move up further.

While he is now comfortably enjoying life, why push oneself so hard!

Yet.

"Lu Xiaobu, going to war, Feng Xiao, two months, four hundred billion, Rich List first."

These words entered Zhan Longyan’s ears.

"Crash!"

Zhan Longyan’s red wine fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The red wine, like the endless boiling blood in his heart!

"How is it possible? Am I crazy, or is Lu Xiaobu crazy? Two months, four hundred billion?! What kind of joke is this?" Zhan Longyan’s eyes filled with endless shock!

He doesn’t believe it, really doesn’t believe it!

Do you know how much four hundred billion is?

Let me put it this way, his total assets aren’t even a hundred billion yet!

Even if he reaches a hundred billion, it’s only a quarter of what Lu Xiaobu is boasting!

So, if Lu Xiaobu accomplishes it, that means Zhan Longyan’s entire life’s work wouldn’t even match Lu Xiaobu’s half month’s work?!

This is just not fair!

Too unfair!

...

A North Korean official was proudly declaring that their GDP last year had reached forty billion US dollars!

Which is approximately equivalent to two hundred and fifty billion RMB!

The crowd below was excited.

"Very good! Our rise is just around the corner!"

"This is all due to everyone’s hard work!"

"Next year, we must set another record!"

"Yes! Let’s all work together!"

"..."

During this exchange of compliments.

"Lu Xiaobu aims to earn four hundred billion in two months!"

The news arrived!

Instantly!

The scene fell into silence, a deathly silence!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

The official who was speaking earlier started spouting a string of untranslatable curses!

In summary, it probably meant this!

"How is it possible? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Our annual GDP is only two hundred and fifty billion! And he plans to earn four hundred billion in just two months?! Impossible! Doesn’t that mean twenty-four hundred billion a year?! Dreaming! Impossible!"

He shouted hysterically!

But, no matter how loudly he shouted, it couldn’t change the fact!

The fact remains!

Their annual GDP is just a bit more than what Lu Xiaobu claims to earn in a month!

Even though he hasn’t succeeded yet, they already feel the sting on their faces!

They are still boasting!

They still think they are great!

They are still proud!

But in reality, their achievements are just disdainful in the eyes of others!

...

Xue Family.

"What? Four hundred billion in two months?" Xue Changzhi almost went crazy when he heard the news!

"Yes, four hundred billion in two months!" Xue Lin kept smiling bitterly.

Honestly, even she feels it’s a bit crazy!

It’s not about whether she believes in Lu Xiaobu or not!

Honestly, if someone told her Lu Xiaobu could fly, she’d find that more believable than earning four hundred billion in two months!

Because, it’s really unrealistic!

As everyone keeps saying!

A money-printing machine running day and night wouldn’t be that fast!
