The second day has arrived.

There is only one hour left until the list is announced.

Since today is Saturday, many people aren’t working, so they’ve all been glued to their computers and phones, waiting for the results to come out.

Not only waiting, but everyone is also making all sorts of speculations online.

And the most active ones are those economists from before.

They know a bit of insider information, so they started posting like crazy on the forums and making videos since last night!

"Top three billionaires join forces, Lu Xiaobu’s dream may fall through!"

"Although it’s a pity, in the face of absolute strength, all the flashy stuff is just an illusion."

"Perhaps only a miracle can save Lu Xiaobu now!"

"Defeat with honor! In two months, 400 billion, it’s already a miracle!"

All these comments were one-sided, feeling sorry for Lu Xiaobu.

None of them thought Lu Xiaobu could win.

After all, this was no longer a matter of tactics, but a matter of being crushed by immense power.

Lu Xiaobu is already giving it his all just to contend with Feng Xiao, and now with the top three teaming up, plus an eighth, it’s really hard!

As these videos and posts appeared, those who had been lurking, afraid to speak, finally stepped out to voice their opinions!

With utmost sarcasm!

"See? See? He was just all talk! I’ve been saying all along that Lu Xiaobu was unlikely to succeed!"

"Yeah, I didn’t think he could do it either! It’s easy to say in a one-on-one, but now they’re teaming up, what gives Lu Xiaobu the right?"

"Who are you siding with?!"

"Why do you care who I’m siding with? I’m just talking facts. I’ve long disliked Lu Xiaobu’s arrogant demeanor!"

"Exactly, boosting it up to two months and 400 billion?! Does he really think he’s invincible?"

"The funniest ones are those who were cheering Lu Xiaobu on before. It’s ridiculous, just ridiculous!"

"And what about Feng Xiao not playing fair? This is a business war; did you think it was child’s play?"

"Yeah, every time I saw their ridiculous comments back then, I felt like puking!"

"..."

This society will never lack people who resent the rich, and Lu Xiaobu’s constant triumphs let these people bury their jealousy deep inside, afraid to explode.

Now, at this moment, that resentment has finally erupted!

Remember what we talked about before? If Lu Xiaobu succeeded, it means that within these two months, the money he makes in a minute would be more than they earn in a month.

This would utterly destroy their pitiful and fragile self-esteem!

The speed of Lu Xiaobu’s asset growth was too fast before, so they were afraid to speak.

But now, they’ve finally seen hope!

This enrages Lu Xiaobu’s die-hard fans, causing them to gnash their teeth in anger!

"What do you mean?!"

"Did you forget Young Master Bu provided protection for you?!"

"If it weren’t for Young Master Bu always shielding you, do you think you could live well?"

"Is this how you show ingratitude?"

"..."

Lu Xiaobu’s fans argued with reason, but they couldn’t escape the opponent’s dismissive retort—What business is it of yours?

"Hah! Those words, as if we asked him to protect us!"

"Don’t make it sound so noble, wasn’t he just doing it to fill his own belly? Really!"

"Stop bootlicking! Did Lu Xiaobu give you a share when he was feasting on the good stuff?"

"It’s ridiculous, do you really think Lu Xiaobu does it for you? He just monopolizes the resources!"

"Such a laughable bunch, really took Lu Xiaobu’s words seriously?!"

"Spare me the protection! Maybe I can become Superman too!"

"..."

Every lighthearted remark infuriates Lu Xiaobu’s fans to the point of bursting into rage!

In an argument, people without principles always prevail!

Perhaps it seems unbelievable to everyone how Lu Xiaobu, who holds such status domestically, even globally, could face such public denunciation?

It’s completely normal!

How often does this happen?!

How many acclaimed globally are defeated by domestic trolls?

Countless!

It’s the same as when you help someone in their hardest time, yet they end up despising you as an enemy!

Because while you helped them during their most difficult time, every time they see you, they remember their most difficult and humble times, like a pillar of shame in their lives!

That’s why they hate you and wish for your disappearance, to erase their time of shame!

That’s exactly why Feng Xiao paid no mind to the previous public denunciations from these people!

With the protection of the internet, the humble believe they become gods on earth!

Amidst the bickering,

The billionaire rankings were refreshed!

Rank 1: Feng Xiao, assets: 1.1023 trillion!

Rank 2: Lu Xiaobu, assets: 1.068 billion!

Instantly!

The internet exploded!

"Hahaha, see it?! See it?! Lu Xiaobu lost!"

"Yeah, Lu Xiaobu came up short by 34.3 billion! Second place! In the end, his boasting failed!"

"Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, can’t show off now, can you?"

"Still two months, clinching first! Keep dreaming!"

"Now it’s all a mess! Not satisfying now, is it?!"

"..."

Looking at these words, don’t you find them shameless?

Feel speechless?!

Even feel saddened?! Ridiculous?!

How could a bunch of people who couldn’t earn in a lifetime what Lu Xiaobu makes in a minute mock him?!

Yes, it’s ridiculous, but this is reality!

After all, keeping humans forever rational is a highly challenging task!

Lu Xiaobu’s fans are enraged to death but can’t retaliate!

All they can do is sigh in defeat!

"How did he lose?!"

"Sigh, Young Master Bu clearly accomplished it! Two months and 400 billion!"

"It was a team-up from the other side that made him lose!"

"But what’s the use of that?! Who cares about the process, everyone only sees the result!"

"..."

Peng Yi lay in the hospital, and the moment he saw this result, he jumped three feet high: "Hahahaha! We won! We won! Lu Xiaobu, you lost! You lost! See what braggart behavior gets you! Haha!"

Economists, one by one, also put on a face as if they had predicted this all along.

"Look, though it’s a pity, this is reality!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Defeat with honor! I’ve said it before, defeat with honor!"

"Two months, 400 billion, that’s quite a miraculous feat already! However, this era is ultimately not one for solo warriors!"

"Although Feng Xiao’s victory isn’t very honorable, a loss is a loss, and a win is a win!"

"..."

Zhu Xiaohua looked at the list, then at the still-relaxed Lu Xiaobu, opened her mouth, but ended up saying nothing.

She felt very annoyed inside!

Now look what you’ve done! Showing off, huh?!

Just a bit short!

I warned you!

Now what is this?!

Isn’t it slapping your own face?!

Saving face at the cost of suffering!

Yet, at this moment, there was no expression of defeat on Lu Xiaobu’s face. Instead, he seemed at ease, like a winner.

This left Zhu Xiaohua very puzzled, something felt off?!
