Jiang Chen is chosen to enter a real-life game called Survival in the Apocalypse, and awakens the only SSS-rank talent from the start: [Wealth Beyond the Heavens].
Game coins can be exchanged for real-world currency at a one-to-one rate, while the balance in his bank account is displayed as "???".
While other players risk their lives completing missions for a rusty machete, Jiang Chen spends a million to upgrade the beginner base into a steel fortress.
When the zombie horde attacks and everyone else waits to die in wooden shacks, the NPC guards Jiang Chen hired with game coins are already manning heavy machine guns.
Midway through the game, a global livestream begins. All the players are stunned to discover that
Jiang Chen, the man they mocked from the start as "the most useless freeloader with connections," is lounging in a palace built of gold, attended by elven maids.
And the peerless goddess of war they all considered untouchable is dancing for Jiang Chen in exchange for a bottle of clean water.
Jiang Chen grins at the global livestream camera:
"Welcome to my apocalyptic playground."
