Has the Evil Dragon Become the Richest Person Yet?

As a newly adult orphaned dragon, Long Ye has neither a glittering cave full of gold and silver nor fine food and wine, and he gets bullied every day.

When he comes of age and is sent into a trial world, the other dragons are still rebellious, dreaming of becoming wicked dragons who kidnap princesses. Long Ye has already set his sights on a lofty goal: he will become the richest dragon in the world and quietly prove everyone wrong with some face-slapping.

However, with no connections or capital, all he can do is play bit parts in the human world, earning barely enough to get by.

The first step to becoming a tycoon: while working as an extra, Long Ye picks up a performer drenched like a drowned rat.

He wants to be a villain. He wants to make him cry. He wants to get his glittering pearls!

But in reality, the frustrated merfolk singer doesn't cry. Instead, Long Ye listens to his songs until his eyes fill with tears.

In the end, he sends the singer off to a dazzling stage in tears, and even pays for his meal.

Having failed to become a wicked, rich businessman, Long Ye gives himself a beating and goes looking for his next target.

The second step to becoming a tycoon: Long Ye painstakingly gets close to a celebrity.

Every day, he carefully and tenderly gathers the hairs left on the celebrity's pillow, hoping they will one day become priceless tail feathers.

The white phoenix sparrow, who was so harshly criticized that he nearly withdrew from the internet, sees that someone cares about him so much. His fighting spirit returns, he finally stops worrying about losing his feathers, and he heads toward a bright future as a star.

Meanwhile, Long Ye stares at the spotless bed. His source of wealth gone, he quietly weeps.

The third step to becoming a tycoon: he mistakes a Taotie for a Pixiu, hoping to attract wealth, only to be eaten out of house and home.

The fourth step to becoming a tycoon...

People say that after this trial, the merfolk prince, the new clan leader of the phoenix sparrows, the lone Taotie of the Taotie clan, and the others all went crazy. Once the trial was over, none of them wanted to return to the Illusory Demon Continent. They said they had to find their confidant, their friend.

"When I was at my lowest / most miserable / unable to afford a meal, he was the one who gave me warmth. I have to find him!"

Later, Long Ye is ready to give up his childish dream and lie flat like a lazy fish. He's leisurely playing a corpse on set when people rush over and surround him.

"Why did you leave without a word and abandon me back then?"

"Without you, my songs feel like they're missing half their soul!"

"Come back! Your cooking is the most delicious food in the world."

Listening to all this praise, Long Ye is utterly bewildered. I didn't! I really didn't do anything!

But after deciding to lie flat, he starts getting so many acting offers that his hands are full, and the roles are unbelievably good. He becomes not only incredibly rich but wildly famous, while the wealth transferred to him from the Illusory Demon Continent is beyond counting.

Long Ye never realized that becoming a tycoon could be so easy.
