Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 143: Chapter 135: Legend

"Their monthly income is definitely much higher than an ordinary person’s. It’s certainly in the hundreds of thousands, but breaking the million-yuan mark in a month comes down to luck."

"Under these circumstances, they just make a commercial appearance, have some drinks, chat a bit, and make over a hundred thousand in a single night. And it’s pure profit, no need to split it with anyone. You still think that’s cheap?"

As Wang Yan spoke, he leaned closer to Gu Heng and whispered, "Brother, I’ve already settled the fee for their company with their agent. But if you want to take things further, you’ll have to negotiate that yourself."

"Understood."

"I know the rules."

Gu Heng smiled at Wang Yan. After the "wine pool and meat forest" they’d indulged in last night, he certainly wasn’t going to play the innocent boy in front of him now.

As the two were talking, the twin sisters up ahead had finished their preparations.

Today, the twin sisters were wearing black, off-the-shoulder mini-dresses. They stood side by side, facing the crowd’s attention with exceptional grace and composure.

The music erupted, and the rousing beat of a Vietnamese drum rhythm seemed to pound in everyone’s heart. As the music swelled, the twin sisters’ bodies immediately began to sway in time.

Being top-tier beauty streamers, the twin sisters were naturally gifted dancers.

Their slender waists moved like willows in the wind, every motion filled with both power and a captivating allure.

At the same time, their facial expressions were perfectly on point.

Their gazes were sultry and intense, the corners of their mouths turned up in a captivating smile.

As the rhythm of the music gradually sped up, their dance steps became more rapid, each one landing precisely on the beat, as if they had merged with the music itself.

Watching the twins’ heated dance, Gu Heng slowly raised his glass and took a sip. The cool liquid slid down his throat, but it failed to quench the restless fire kindling within him.

In the distance, two sightseeing boats were sailing on either side of their yacht.

Perhaps it was the yacht’s opulence, or maybe the music was just too loud, but the tourists on the sightseeing boats all turned to stare in their direction. Many even pulled out their phones and began to record.

Gu Heng noticed this and turned his head slightly to glance over.

"Don’t worry."

"It’s fine."

Seeing this, Wang Yan reassured Gu Heng.

Then he raised a hand and gestured behind him without turning his head.

The first mate, who had been standing by behind them, immediately understood, picked up his walkie-talkie, and gave an order.

The next second, blindingly bright lights suddenly burst to life around the yacht, and then the yacht began to slowly accelerate.

At the same time, the staff waiting by the edge of the flybridge produced large black umbrellas from somewhere.

POP, POP, POP...

As the many black umbrellas opened, they formed two black walls, hiding everything on the flybridge from view and blocking out all daring, prying eyes.

In the distance, the tourists on the sightseeing boats were dumbfounded when they saw this.

"Unbelievable. They won’t even let us look!"

"How dare we mortals pry into the secrets of the Celestial Palace!"

"Fine wine in hand, beautiful women in his arms, dancers before him, attendants behind him... I couldn’t even fucking dream up a life like this!"

"Wait, what’s going on here? Are we even still in the same country?"

"I finally get why I’m always struggling and bearing the weight of the world. It’s because someone else is living out the ’peaceful and beautiful years’ on my behalf every day. Fuck my life!"

"Stop the boat! I have urgent business in Jiang City!"

"Those two girls dancing up front, and the two DJing... they all look so familiar. Aren’t they influencers?"

"Wow, what kind of phone is that? The video is so high-def!"

"It’s the newest Huawei Mate X30. I got it on Zhuan Zhuan, an amazing deal!"

...

The crowd of tourists watched the yacht accelerate into the distance. They all had so much they wanted to say, but under the mighty seal of the Great River Crab, they couldn’t utter a word.

They could only sigh with emotion and make some wry comments to console themselves.

On the yacht, Gu Heng watched the scene unfold, feeling inexplicably awestruck.

The twin sisters’ passionate dance continued. Bai Bai and Yu Yu, who had been at the professional DJ booth, also started dancing to the beat.

Four major influencers, each with millions of followers, were now dancing like hired performers, all for the sole purpose of pleasing Gu Heng.

Their gazes were soul-stealing, their movements bewitching and seductive.

They slowly danced their way over to Gu Heng, flanking him on either side as they continued their sensual performance.

Gu Heng leaned back on the sofa, holding a Habanos GR worth several thousand yuan in his right hand.

He exhaled a cloud of smoke. The hazy, beautiful scene was intoxicating.

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang in Gu Heng’s mind.

[Challenge Mission: Legend]

[Mission Details: Geese leave their calls, men leave their names. The world can go on without your presence, but it cannot be without your legend. Indulge yourself tonight and etch your eternal legend upon the online world.]

[Legendary Level: 1.69%]

[Mission Rewards: 8-hour Consumption Refund Card, Buff Upgrade Card]

[8-hour Consumption Refund Card: For the next eight hours, the system will refund all your spending in the online world at a random rate, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 times the amount.]

[Buff Upgrade Card: You can choose to upgrade one of your existing Buffs.]

...

The system’s interface slowly materialized before Gu Heng, presenting the newly generated challenge mission.

Hm?

’Another mission already?’

Just as Gu Heng was getting lost in the indulgent scene before him, the challenge mission appearing in his vision snapped him back to his senses.

After carefully reading the contents of this challenge mission, Gu Heng pretty much understood what it meant.

’Is Father Tongzi afraid I won’t have enough fun tonight?’

Gu Heng stared at the 8-hour Consumption Refund Card in the rewards list. He could almost hear Father Tongzi’s thunderous, booming voice in his ear: *Go wild, my boy! Dad’s covering all your expenses tonight!*

Even though the refund rate was random, and if he was unlucky enough to get a 0.5x rate, it would mean he’d have to cover half the cost himself—but so what?

Forget the 8-hour Consumption Refund Card. Even without it, Gu Heng would’ve paid any price out of his own pocket just to get that Buff Upgrade Card.

The [Eternal Day Engine] Buff he currently possessed had been instrumental in his successful completion of the first two levels of the [Golden Tower of Wealth] challenge.

The [Eternal Day Engine] Buff gave Gu Heng a more efficient recovery mechanism, much greater resilience to stress, and a superior metabolism.

No matter how utterly exhausted Gu Heng was, a single night’s sleep was all it took for him to be fully restored, brimming with vigorous energy and vitality once more.

If the basic [Eternal Day Engine] was already this effective, Gu Heng couldn’t begin to imagine how potent the upgraded version would be.

’I have to get it!’

’I absolutely have to get it!’

Gu Heng, who was already feeling restless, now felt as if a fire had suddenly been lit in his heart.

There are many ways to become a Legend in the online world.

For example, becoming a god in a massive global game, using transcendent hacking skills to do something earth-shattering, or even becoming an enlightening master for the masses like Teacher Cang.

However, these paths were clearly not ones Gu Heng could take, and based on the mission content and rewards, that probably wasn’t what Father Tongzi meant either.

So...

The fastest and simplest way to become a Legend was to throw money at the problem.

Throw enough money around to leave everyone speechless, to command their admiration.

Gu Heng’s thoughts raced, and based on the available information and conditions, a plan slowly began to form...
