While Mom Pinches Pennies, I Build a Civilization of Cosmic Technology

Random contestants are selected from among all of humanity and sent to a deserted-island world to compete in a survival game, broadcast live around the globe. Every move a contestant makes can bring benefits to a thousand-person group in their real world.

Each contestant must choose a close companion in the real world, so they can survive together and both benefit.

As one of the top students at his school, Ye Kai draws plenty of attention. The person he chooses is... uh, his close companion: his mom.

As a result, the mutual-benefit perk is "Thrift Skill Grants Huge Gold Coin Rewards." Every penny his mom saves earns him a hundred thousand gold coins.

All of humanity is stunned.

"Holy crap, the number one on the Deserted Island World's wealth rankings! Ye the God of Wealth, carry me to the top!"

"Oh my god, have you ever seen a God of Wealth build a top-tier city overnight in a remote mountain valley, then earn the title of the Father of Industry of the Nine Provinces the very next night?"

"No way, what is he doing? Building a universe-level technological civilization all by himself? Leading all of humanity beyond the Solar System and out of the Milky Way?"
