Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 8: I Accidentally Became a Millionaire

"Thank you for your trust in the 96 platform, sir."

Xiaoying stood up and bowed very respectfully to Ye Ling.

Only then did a great weight lift from her heart. She had co here under strict orders from the platform to get this contract signed, no matter what.

Although they were only taking a ten-percent cut of the rent, he was a major client. Besides, if they could build a good relationship with Ye Ling, it would only benefit the 96 platform.

Furthermore, judging by the 96 platform’s thods—sending a beautiful young woman in the pri of her youth to sign a contract this late at night—it was obvious they were determined to land a major client like Ye Ling by any ans necessary.

If Ye Ling had made any... demands, Xiaoying probably wouldn’t have refused...

These were the unspoken rules of the professional world. Though it was a deplorable social practice, those caught in it could only adapt or be eliminated.

Unless... one possessed the power to rise above such rules.

Ye Ling, for example, could afford to ignore these rules. In fact, the rules now served him, but he simply disdained to take advantage of them.

"We’ve already transferred the first month’s rent to your account according to the percentage split in the contract. Please check to confirm. Subsequent monthly rent paynts will be deposited at the end of the previous month."

Xiaoying said with a smile.

At the sa ti, Ye Ling’s phone buzzed with a text ssage from the Xia Country Industrial and Comrcial Bank.

’Your savings account ending in 7878 received an electronic transfer of 2,700,000 RMB at 11:57 on August 6. Current balance: 2,700,038.21 RMB. [Industrial and Comrcial Bank]’

That’s right. In a matter of monts, Ye Ling had gone from a dirt-poor youth with only 38.21 yuan to his na to a millionaire.

"A pleasure doing business with you."

Ye Ling smiled and extended his hand, shaking Xiaoying’s lightly.

’Being rich feels pretty good!’

...

The next morning, Ye Ling got up and worked out as usual, then took a hot bath.

He never used to take baths in the morning, just a quick shower at most. But ever since moving into Tomson Riviera, he found he was growing rather fond of the feeling.

’Ah, the pleasures of the rich are always so simple, so understated.’

Seeing that it was still early, Ye Ling walked into the ga room. After all, in a duplex mansion worth hundreds of millions, the ga room’s setup was bound to be impressive—or rather, utterly extravagant.

The mont he stepped inside, he was struck by an overwhelming sense of modern technology.

Inside the ga room, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge LCD screen with a device similar to a PSP plugged into it. To the side were professional gaming chairs, desks, and more.

Ye Ling didn’t consider himself a gaming addict, but even he couldn’t help but be drawn in by the sight. If a real gaming addict were to co here...

"This setup isn’t half bad."

Ye Ling casually turned on the machine. It booted up in just a few seconds, and the desktop was pre-installed with several of the most popular AAA gas.

’It is a mansion worth hundreds of millions, after all. The service has to be top-notch!’

From the many options, Ye Ling picked a ga called ’League of Legends’. It had been popular for many years, but its popularity hadn’t faded.

"Ti to pick a champion... Who should I choose?"

"Damn it, why am I even hesitating? It’s gotta be Yasuo!"

Once in the ga, Ye Ling unhesitatingly picked a champion nad ’Yasuo’, a smile instantly appearing on his face.

About three hours and five consecutive losses later, Ye Ling silently shut down the computer.

The gaplay experience was decent, Yasuo was fun to play, and his teammates were quite passionate, constantly asking if his parents were doing well...

"So I went one and fifteen, so what? I still got a kill. What’s there to fla about?"

Ye Ling muttered, a hint of annoyance on his face.

Yes, his skills were truly, truly terrible. So terrible, in fact, you could say they were god-awful.

This was also why he hadn’t even thought about checking out the ga room after moving into the mansion. And after today’s crushing defeat, Ye Ling probably wouldn’t be setting foot in here again for at least a month.

’This ga is helping quit my gaming addiction!’

Ye Ling leaned back in the chair. Even though the gaming experience was subpar, the chair itself was incredibly comfortable—even more so, he thought, than the leather sofa in the living room.

"All these pretty girls are nice to look at, but they all kind of look the sa."

Ye Ling was scrolling through Douyin on his phone, his finger swiping continuously across the screen as he shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, his finger paused. He had landed on a Douyin video where the surroundings looked familiar—it seed to be Patek Square, where he had eaten with Ning Ruoxi.

Then the cara suddenly panned to a young man. In ti with the background music, he threw a kick, sending another man who was lunging at him flying.

The kick was even perfectly synced to the beat of the music!

Ye Ling stared at the short video, completely dumbfounded.

That’s right.

That person was him!

The video’s content was the exact mont he had kicked Ning Ruoxi’s suitor, a man nad Yu Chenghao, into the air.

Ye Ling’s expression turned strange. The video’s likes had already surpassed one hundred thousand, and below it was a small trending search bar!

In other words, the video had gone viral!

"Have I... beco an internet celebrity?"

Ye Ling opened the comnts section. There were a lot of them—over eight thousand.

[Dad, you’ve opened the comnts again (doge head).]

[This little bro is so handso! HOLY SHIT! That kick was just... wow!]

[Awoo, my god is so hot! That kick went right through this little sister’s heart!]

[Boohoo, does anyone have this guy’s WeChat? I have a friend who wants to know...]

[With the power of all you dads, getting to the top comnt shouldn’t be a problem, right?]

[Replying to the post above: Maybe you should reflect on why you can’t beat the top comnt.]

[That girl is so gorgeous too! Just wow! Boohoo, are they internet celebrities? I’m totally shipping this CP!]

...

Most of the comnts revolved around Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi. As for Yu Chenghao, the video’s biggest ’casualty’, he was completely ignored.

[SHOCKING: A young man at Patek Square actually did this because of his girlfriend...]

Just then, a push notification from QQ Browser popped up. Ye Ling accidentally tapped on it and found it was also about him kicking Yu Chenghao.

"Did QQ buy out the UC Shock Departnt?"

Ye Ling shook his head helplessly. But now, he was starting to realize sothing.

It seed he had actually gone viral.

And Ning Ruoxi had gone viral with him!

"Why do I get the feeling that ever since I got the system, everything that’s happened has been completely unbelievable?"

Ye Ling couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
