I Made a Fortune in America and Became a God

Lin Feng died, then came back to life.

He woke up as a broke Chinese student in America, three days behind on rent, with a week left on his visa and a seventh deportation warning sitting on his phone.

At his lowest point, a crazy System activated

[Host detected: poor enough to be near death]

[Solution: Make the world happy]

[Mission: Make 10 strangers genuinely smile within 24 hours]

[Reward: $50,000]

Lin Feng looked at his balance: $2.37.

He spent his last 20 cents on a cup of coffee and borrowed a pen. Ten minutes later, he was crouching on the street, handing a coffee cup covered in memes to an intern who had just been reduced to tears by her boss.

The intern smiled.

System deposited: $10,000.

Lin Feng was stunned.

Three months later

A long line stretched outside the fried chicken shop on the verge of bankruptcy. Its marketing campaign, “The Boss Is Even Worse Off Than the Customers,” went viral on TikTok.

The group of brilliant scientists Silicon Valley had overlooked used his money to pursue research they loved, and accidentally created cutting-edge technology.

The forgotten town in the American West had been transformed by him into an “inspiration utopia” for creators around the world.

When the FBI came to investigate, he offered them coffee and chatted with them for twenty minutes.

The next day, one of the agents quit, saying he wanted to work for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng realized something:

In this land where traffic is currency, happiness is the most valuable hard currency of all.

He wasn’t out to make money. He was handing out candy to the world.

It just so happened that the wrappers were all dollars…
