My Money Hit Zero, Yet I Became Richer Than a Nation in Ancient Times

One morning, everyone in the world woke up to find their savings, stocks, and digital assets had all shrunk by a factor of one million. The tycoons who once had trillions were left with ten bucks, while billionaires were reduced to poverty. But me, Lin Yi, a wage slave earning six thousand a month, became the world’s only trillionaire thanks to the two thousand in cash I’d just withdrawn. My ex-girlfriend begs to get back together? Sorry, you’re not worth that much. My former boss declares bankruptcy? No problem. I bought the company. You can stay on as my assistant, for five bucks a month. My neighbor sells his mansion to pay off his debts? I’ll take it for two hundred and turn it into a chicken farm. “Chickens are easier to get along with than people.” Even crazier, I also discover a portal to another world. On the other side is a fictional ancient dynasty short on supplies, and I can freely transport the money and resources in my pockets between worlds. A prince hoards troops and lays siege to a city? One packet of chili powder sends three hundred cavalrymen fleeing in tears. The emperor personally leads his army into battle? A steam train and rifled cannons show him what a crushing technological advantage looks like. In the modern world, I’m the only king amid the ruins. In the ancient world, I’m the creator who rewrites history. Two worlds, one boss. My name is Lin Yi. Pleased to meet you.
