Chapter 10 - The Amount of Money Has Reached the Upper Limit.
An Unbelievable Investment
"What? You're willing to invest just like that?"
Pi Yuanzhi was both excited and bewildered.
A total stranger agreeing to invest millions in a company he knew nothing about? That was unheard of!
He studied Xiao Cheng—who looked like an ordinary street vendor—and felt even more suspicious.
Xiao Cheng, sensing his doubts, chuckled. "Everything is by the book. The contract is legal, and it's my money. Are you afraid I'm the one scamming you?"
Pi Yuanzhi hesitated, then nodded. "That's… true." It didn't make sense for someone to lie just to give money away.
"Alright then, let's keep it simple. I'll invest three million yuan for 60% of the shares. How does that sound?" Xiao Cheng proposed casually.
"Sixty percent for three million? Of course, I agree!" Pi Yuanzhi exclaimed.
He had expected far less—this deal was way above market value.
But deep down, he couldn't help but wonder: Is this guy just a clueless nouveau riche?
What Pi Yuanzhi didn't know was that Xiao Cheng, now equipped with top-tier investment knowledge, fully understood the risks.
A small winery like this, without innovation or new technology, had a high chance of failing.
But Xiao Cheng didn't care.
He had too much money.
After all, he had already earned over 100 million yuan in the past two days. Three million? Barely a dent.
The transfer was made, the contract signed, and then—
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host! First-time investment in a winery detected! Reward: Winery Development Knowledge +999! Funds Received: $50 Billion USD!"
Xiao Cheng's eyes widened.
$50 billion?!
He quickly checked—indeed, the largest wine company in the world was valued at only around $200 billion.
And yet, he had just received a sum that shattered industry records.
He grinned. So, every time I invest in a different industry, I get another huge reward?
If that was the case…
He had barely scratched the surface of his potential wealth.
By the end of the day, Xiao Cheng had officially jumped to #12 on the Forbes Billionaire List.
And this was just the beginning.
A Shocked Business Partner
Meanwhile, Pi Yuanzhi was still reeling from how fast everything had happened.
Three million yuan—agreed upon and transferred within ten minutes.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you! I promise I'll work hard to grow the company. You won't regret this investment!" He was so overwhelmed with gratitude that he nearly knelt down in thanks.
Xiao Cheng smirked. I don't care if the winery makes money or not—I already made a fortune just by investing.
But outwardly, he simply helped Pi Yuanzhi up.
"Forget the formalities," he said. "The company is yours to run. I won't interfere."
However, he added one condition.
"If you ever come across someone else looking for investment, introduce them to me. But only one per industry."
Pi Yuanzhi was confused. "Only one per industry?"
But then, he felt even more certain—
This guy must be some reckless rich man who thinks money is infinite!
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao! I'll find more opportunities for you!"
Xiao Cheng nodded, then casually walked away, as if three million yuan was nothing.
Too Much Money?!
The moment Xiao Cheng stepped out of the hotel, his system rang again.
Ding! System Notification:
"Host's bank account has reached the maximum deposit limit. Please increase the limit or apply for a new account!"
Xiao Cheng blinked. "The limit?"
Then he remembered—banks do have a deposit limit.
But ordinary people never reach it, so it's rarely mentioned.
The standard cap? 100 billion yuan.
His total funds? Over 300 billion yuan.
Even billionaires aren't dumb enough to keep that much in a single account!
Xiao Cheng sighed.
"Who knew having too much money could be an inconvenience?"
Shrugging, he decided to head to the bank to sort it out.
A Sudden Crisis on the Subway
Taking the subway, Xiao Cheng waited patiently.
At times like this, he really missed Sisi.
If she were here, I wouldn't be bored.
As the subway entered a tunnel, something felt off.
Xiao Cheng's sharp instincts noticed a commotion in the next carriage.
Frowning, he walked over.
The moment he stepped inside—
BAM!
A terrified woman crashed into his chest, panting heavily.
Behind her, several armed men stormed in.
They didn't hesitate.
Without a word, they raised their guns—
And fired.
Bullet-Dodging and First-Time Combat
Xiao Cheng's eyes narrowed.
I don't even know this woman, and you're shooting at me too?!
Reacting instantly, he grabbed the woman and dodged to the side.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Bullets tore through the air.
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host! First-time bullet dodge! Reward: Bullet-Dodging Ability +999!"
Suddenly, Xiao Cheng felt his body move with supernatural agility.
Avoiding bullets? Now effortless.
The gunmen hesitated.
How did he dodge that?!
But they were professionals. Regaining their composure, they aimed again—
"Again?" Xiao Cheng scoffed, annoyed.
Before they could pull the trigger, he sprang forward.
BAM!
With two swift steps, he knocked a gun clean out of one attacker's hand.
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host! First-time combat detected! Reward: Fighting Skills +999!"
Immediately, Xiao Cheng felt his reflexes sharpen, his body moving instinctively with expert combat knowledge.
The gunmen didn't even have time to react—
Within seconds, Xiao Cheng had taken down multiple enemies single-handedly.
The remaining man stared in horror.
We're top assassins… yet he wiped us out effortlessly?!
Seeing his comrades crumple in defeat, the last attacker gritted his teeth and sneered.
"You think you've won?" he spat.
"You're already dead."
And in that moment—
The subway shook violently.
