Zhang Menglong hadn't even rested for a few minutes when his roommate called him.
"Did you disappear or what? Didn't you say one hour? Man, I've already started two games, are you playing or not?" Xu Li cursed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hahaha, isn't it just that I inherited so much property from my family that it's taking a while to sort?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "It's not too late now, right?"
"Inherit my ass, do you really think you've inherited a fortune? Stop bullshitting and get online. Oh, and that sweet-singing girl you mentioned last time, invite her too!"
"Got it!" Zhang Menglong said to himself, "More than a fortune? Pretty much the whole Earth is about to be ours."
"I'm so pissed, our Huaxia teams today were just embarrassing. Fierce in domestic games, timid in international ones, they're just too much to handle. No way, tonight I've got to wield Thunder and Lightning over the bronze-rank kiddies. Hurry up, we're just waiting for you two!"
"I'm on my way!" Zhang Menglong casually walked into a room, where the huge screen instantly revitalized him. This was just the computer that came with the room; he couldn't even imagine how luxurious the esports room downstairs would be.
"Huh? Where's the computer tower? Why isn't there one?" Zhang Menglong searched under the desk for a while but couldn't find the tower, "This ain't an all-in-one either!"
"Hong Yi, aren't there computer towers installed in these computers yet?" Zhang Menglong dialed Hong Yi's number.
"Mr. Zhang, for the optimum experience, all computers here are connected to the supercomputer on the floor below. With the 5G network, you will experience absolutely no lag, no matter what game you play. When you need to use it, just give a voice command to the smart home system," Hong Yi explained.
"Using a supercomputer as the mainframe for a home computer? Isn't that a bit much?" Zhang Menglong murmured to himself and hung up, "A computer with a configuration worth a mere twenty thousand bucks would be sweet enough for gaming, totally unnecessary!"
But once Zhang Menglong downloaded the game in just a few minutes and experienced the lightning-fast run speed and smooth operating system, he could only sincerely exclaim, "Wow, this is awesome!"
"Ready for a couple of rounds?" Zhang Menglong opened his friends list and habitually clicked on the profile nicknamed "Frappuccino, Extra Sugar." It displayed the smiling face of a goddess from a neighboring country, Shi Yuanli Mei, but only Zhang Menglong knew behind that face was a figure of profound loneliness.
Zhang Menglong had known her for over half a year now. She loved singing, Zhang Menglong loved playing the piano. At Zhang Menglong's lowest point, the two met on a short video platform, starting with liking each other's content to collaborating on songs, eventually making it to each other's friends list.
They were two very similar souls. Zhang Menglong had never met her, he didn't even know her real name after half a year, and aside from daily troubles and interesting things, they played games and shared songs, movies together.
It sounds absurd, but for this girl who was a year older and who he had never met, he had already developed some special feelings.
"Duo queue?" she quickly replied to Zhang Menglong's message.
"My three roommates are joining. They've heard you're beautiful with a sweet voice and insisted I invite you to play today," Zhang Menglong sent an emoji of helplessness.
"You've never even seen me, how could you make such a boast? What if I'm a 200-pound lady with a voice changer, wouldn't that shatter your mates' dreams?"
"It's a man's Sixth Sense. If I'm wrong, I'll do a handstand while washing my hair!"
"Hahaha, come on, hurry up and get online, I've been so bored these past few days!"
"I'll add you in a bit!"
"Where's the lady? Where's the lady?" As soon as he connected with his roommates, they were howling impatiently.
"Zhang Menglong, what's the deal with you? Didn't you get back to Jiangnan City? Why aren't you back in the dorm so late, planning to pull an all-nighter at an internet café?"
"I'm at my own place, you guys might not believe it, but this entire 29-story building is mine, and my computer runs on a supercomputer, makes gaming super smooth!" Zhang Menglong said.
"Hahaha, you're the man, I wouldn't even dare to dream that. Hurry up and invite that girl!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, let her feel the warmth of our Jiangnan University of Science and Technology's dorm 310!"
"Hello, everyone!" A sweet girl's voice appeared in the team's voice chat.
"Holy shit! That voice tone, Mom, I'm in love!"
"Waaaa, it feels like first love!"
"Zhang Menglong, I finally understand why you put on headphones every night and chat with her. This voice is simply a treasure!"
Zhang Menglong's roommate howled like a ghost.
Zhang Menglong chuckled. Her voice was indeed so sweet it was almost unbelievable; even he had to listen to her voice messages several times over before he was satisfied.
His roommates were all quite skilled. "Frappuccino with extra sugar" was a lot stronger than the average girl, especially since she often duoed with Zhang Menglong. A tank in Summoner's Rift would summon thunder and lightning, rolling over everything.
Anyway, they were still on vacation, and there were no classes the next day, so they played until after midnight before reluctantly ending the game. These joyful days were becoming rarer and rarer for them as they were about to enter society.
"I had a lot of fun today, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed first!"
"Let's together, I'm tired too!" Zhang Menglong said with a mischievous smile.
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
Zhang Menglong put his phone aside and lay down on the huge bed that he could roll over on ten times.
Everything had felt like a dream since last night.
"Right, that family heirloom called 'Super God Academy' that my mom and dad mentioned!" When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Menglong discovered that as long as he concentrated, he could see a green-tinged mark inside his mind.
"Enter Super God Academy!" Zhang Menglong tried issuing a command.
"Master has not yet completed the previous master's challenge. Access to the academy will be granted after the challenge is complete!" The voice of Super God Academy's intelligent butler, Gou Dan, suddenly rang in Zhang Menglong's ear.
"Damn, there really is such a task left for me?" Zhang Menglong smiled wryly. He had never handled such a large sum of money in his life; not even 10,000 yuan in one go, let alone 100 billion yuan. The most extravagant expense for him might have been his annual college tuition of 8,800 yuan.
The key was that this money couldn't be donated or given away, which invisibly increased the difficulty by who knows how much.
"How to spend 100 billion yuan!" Zhang Menglong typed this question into Baidu.
"Buy a house? Half of the Earth would be mine, what the hell do I need to buy a house for!"
"Tip a livestreamer? Am I out of my mind, giving money to those online beggars?"
"Travel the world? I could travel for 100 years, indulging in food and fun every day and I still couldn't spend all that money!"
"Buy a car? Hmm, that barely counts!"
"Make investments? Like Wang Duoyu?"
Looking at the bizarre array of answers, Zhang Menglong let out a heartfelt sigh, "Having too much money is a hassle too!"
```"What a beautiful morning!" Zhang Menglong opened his eyes, climbed out of the several-meter-long bed, and walked through the dozens of meters long hallway to the living room. Today, he was ready to complete his first task of spending 100 billion, buying a car!
In this era, most netizens were without money but knew all about cars, whereas the former Zhang Menglong had neither money nor knowledge about cars. After working for quite some time last night, he had somewhat understood some top-level luxury cars.
In the center of Jiangnan City, there was a boutique shop specializing in luxury cars. It was said that as long as you had enough money, you could even get a limited-edition sports car from 20 years ago!
"Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang outside the room, and the figure of Hong Yi appeared on a liquid crystal display at the door. "Mr. Zhang, are you up? All your service personnel are in place today. May I know what you'd like for breakfast this morning?"
"Anything light will do, perhaps just a sandwich," Zhang Menglong casually said. Actually, in school, he mostly slept until ten in the morning, got up, washed up, got dressed, and by the time he was ready, it would already be noon. Breakfast was entirely optional for him.
"By the way, I'll give you partial access to this compound's authorization later, and you can arrange those workers," Zhang Menglong said, fearing trouble the most; leaving this minor matter to Hong Yi would suffice, as he trusted she would handle it properly.
"Certainly, Mr. Zhang, I'll take care of it right away! Your breakfast will arrive within 20 minutes. You can go freshen up in the meantime," she responded.
Zhang Menglong, groggy-eyed, walked into the bathroom, but was momentarily taken aback by the full array of toiletries lined up.
All the items were labeled in foreign languages. Zhang Menglong couldn't even distinguish which was the facial cleanser, which was the toothpaste, and which was the lotion, as each type seemed to have several brands and even the packaging was very similar.
"Damn, how am I supposed to use this?" Suddenly, he was at a loss.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!" Zhang Menglong licked something that looked like toothpaste in a long tubular package, but it had a strange taste and even some granular stuff. "Could this be facial cleanser?" he wondered.
"Right, with Dad Ma's AI recognition, whatever it is, I should be able to find it on Taobao, right?" Zhang Menglong opened an app and casually picked up something that looked like facial cleanser and held it in front of the phone's camera.
"Beep beep!" Soon, the item in the image was identified.
"Greek Sea of Heaven moisturizing lotion, 50ml, 21499? Damn, facial cleanser is this expensive?" Zhang Menglong's hand shook. He felt too rough a man to deserve such an expensive lotion.
"Desire from Italy facial cleanser, 50ml, 19999..."
"Over twenty thousand for hand cream..."
"Over ten thousand for shaving foam, is this a robbery?"
Zhang Menglong really couldn't imagine that even things like facial cleanser and hand cream could be priced so extravagantly.
...
"Finally found the toothpaste!" Zhang Menglong scanned a dozen items and finally found a tube of toothpaste.
"England's Royal Exclusivity... No genuine product on Taobao, estimated price 12,000 pounds... Nevermind..." Overwhelmed once again by the expensive toiletries, Zhang Menglong, who had just regained some mental capacity after sleeping, felt smashed.
"Is it because my Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste lacks presence, or is Zhonghua toothpaste not classy enough?" Zhang Menglong sighed, resigned to his fate. At his age, he was bearing psychological burdens he shouldn't have to, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
When Zhang Menglong finished washing up, breakfast had already been served on his table, and beside the table, there was a chef who did not look Huaxian.
```
"Good morning, Mr. Zhang. I am one of the chefs in charge of your daily meals. You can call me Bruce," the chef said in fluent Huaxia.
"One of?" Zhang Menglong repeated the phrase.
"Of course, you have a total of 79 chefs. Each of us specializes in different cuisines. I am best at European-style breakfast desserts."
"79..." Zhang Menglong seemed to slowly begin to accept this incredibly extravagant lifestyle. He expressionlessly opened the dish in front of him, which was simple: something that looked like a sandwich and a cup of milk.
"Finally, something normal people would eat!" Zhang Menglong doubted whether living such a lavish life daily might shorten his life. He took a bite of the sandwich, and a taste of fresh lobster and crab instantly overwhelmed his palate.
It was his first time trying such a unique sandwich.
"This thing must cost over a hundred bucks, right?" Zhang Menglong took another sip of the milk, which was equally delicious.
"Mr. Zhang, this is a London Seagull Egg Roll. Even if made by the most ordinary chef, it costs 150 US dollars. When I worked in Europe, one would cost 680 dollars!"
"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Zhang Menglong almost sprayed out the milk in his throat. He glanced at the milk and the dessert beside him. Judging by the price of the egg roll, this breakfast probably cost around ten thousand Huaxia currency. Most of their recent graduates couldn't earn that much in a month; he'd just spent it in a few bites.
Knowing the value of this breakfast, Zhang Menglong ate with extra care, but surely, the high cost was justified by the delightful taste and texture.
"Mr. Zhang, I have already arranged access for you to all eight buildings, except for some private areas. Most regions will have staff to clean and maintain them daily," said Hong Yi meticulously, "Do you have any plans for today? Your private plane and flight crew are ready, in case you'd like to travel anywhere in the world."
"No need, today I plan to go look at cars," Zhang Menglong said.
"Are you planning to buy a car?" Hong Yi was not surprised. Logically speaking, a man of Zhang Menglong's age with some money would be interested in sports and luxury cars. "Do you need me to arrange it? Your family owns shares in many sports car companies."
"No need. I want to check it out by myself. You don't have to find someone to accompany me," Zhang Menglong didn't want to make himself look like a spoiled rich kid, always having an assistant tagging along.
"Alright then, if you need anything, just let me know."
"I got it," Zhang Menglong said as he put on a jacket and walked out of the room.
As a natural born directionally challenged person, Zhang Menglong got lost several times, relying on a map before eventually arriving at the luxury car dealership, reportedly co-owned by a few rich second-generation individuals from Yanjing.
Whether it was Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, or McLaren, if you could name a luxury car, you could see it here.
Since it was National Day, there was an influx of tourists, and they had set up a car show for seven days that attracted quite a crowd. Even if they couldn't afford to buy, just coming to see the show was worthwhile.
The dealership was very large, including an underground garage with four levels in total; each level was thousands of square meters. From the outside, the building outright dominated the neighboring 4S shops.
"Mount Akina Club?" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but laugh when he saw the sign of this luxury car dealership. These rich kids really had a sense of humor, turning a car dealership into a club. Indeed, it was a novel idea.
However, the value of making friends here probably outweighed the value of making money, for them.
"I wonder if I can find a few cars to my liking here." With high hopes, Zhang Menglong walked into the "Mount Akina Club."
