A Trillionaire from the Start, Dragged by Deng Chao Onto a Variety Show

Lin Yan transmigrates to a parallel world and spends three years bringing over masterpieces like Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, and The Three-Body Problem. He amasses a fortune of hundreds of billions and reaches the pinnacle of global culture.

After retiring at the top, he becomes the laziest associate professor at Jingcheng University. All he wants is to drink tea and play games.

But his close friends Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han drag him onto the variety show Five Ha, insisting he experience the hardships of a poor amateur guest on a trip.

Lin Yan plans to coast through the show while giving the production team a little taste of what it's like to deal with a tycoon.

While the crew scrambles to earn bus fare so they can eat a proper bowl of seafood noodles, Lin Yan's private helicopter is already parked right in the middle of the road.

The internet goes wild: "The production team calls this guy an amateur?! That watch on his wrist could buy the whole TV station!"

But the most shocking part is still to come.

Halfway through filming, readers around the world erupt over The Death of Sherlock Holmes, even prompting Interpol to search for the unscrupulous author known as K.

On Five Ha's drafty bus, Deng Chao angrily rants at his phone: "This author K is a real bastard. He actually killed off Sherlock Holmes! If I ever run into him, he's dead!"

In the back row, Lin Yan quietly raises his hand while eating a one-yuan cup of instant noodles. "Um... Chao, what if I told you I'm that bastard? Would you believe me?"

The whole internet erupts. The top expert's secret identity can no longer stay hidden!
