Starting out one hundred million in debt, how do you become the richest person across all planes?
Wen Ji: Thanks for the question. First, you need a snack stall.
Wen Ji was twenty-eight, the illegitimate son and major villain in a transmigration-era male power fantasy about a rise to the top. Brought back to the wealthy family at fourteen, he had effortlessly defeated all his brothers and seized the CEO position by the age of twenty.
But his good fortune didn't last. After the male lead, the Dragon King, returned, Wen Ji discovered that no matter what he did, he couldn't defy the power of the plot. So he decided to stop caring and flip the game board.
On his way to find a way to die, he stumbled upon a snack stall that supposedly could operate in different worlds.
The System coaxed him: "Young hero, would you like to become the richest person across all planes?"
Wen Ji looked at the gaudy little snack stall, all cartoonish designs and cheap, garish decorations. "Get lost, scammer."
Later
In an apocalyptic deep freeze, starving survivors discovered a bizarre-looking snack stall in the snowstorm.
A closer look revealed roasted sweet potatoes, hot milk tea, spicy malatang, and piping-hot seafood rice! Survival credits poured into the snack stall as if they were free!
System: "Congratulations, Host! You've met the requirements to upgrade and expand. Please choose an upgrade for your snack stall: milk tea shop, restaurant, food court..."
Wen Ji: "Can I customize it? I choose... a bathhouse."
It started as a tiny bathhouse, then gradually expanded into a luxurious spa with a sauna, indoor lazy river, and outdoor hot springs!

In a mist-shrouded town from a Western fantasy world, the locals discovered that a strange snack stall had appeared, selling food they'd never seen before.
After trying it out of curiosity, they were amazed to find that boiled fish could dispel the gloomy dampness of the Dark Forest, while eating extra-spicy roasted chicken wings greatly increased the power of their fireball spells!
Elves, dwarves, bounty hunters, and even dragons flocked to the town, all eager to buy the mysterious delicacies from the East.

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland overrun by monsters, a supermarket appeared, selling all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat.
In a famine era when people survived by chewing tree bark, a canteen appeared, serving generous portions of delicious, affordable food that left people brimming with energy.
In a world of horrors, a mysterious restaurant appeared, serving food that raised Sanity.
Wen Ji discovered that the snack stall could not only bring modern food to other worlds, but also bring ingredients from those worlds back with him. And so
He brought back ten-thousand-year-old kelp from the seabed of the Eastern Sea in a cultivation world, as well as glacier silverfish from the Kunlun Icefields, and turned them into oden and fish balls.
He brought back the tentacled sea monsters that ruled the wastelands and turned them into grilled squid and takoyaki.
A roadside stall that randomly appeared in different locations became a destination that every food-loving gourmand in City A flocked to, and couldn't forget.

One day, an employee rushed in with alarming news: "This is bad, CEO! Wen Ji has surpassed you and become the richest person in the world!"
The Dragon King: "Impossible! What company did he start? What industry is he in?!"
Employee: "He... he opened a snack stall!"
