Zhao Feng stared at his phone, the glowing screen illuminating his face in the growing darkness.
[The Simpverse System has been activated.]
[Current Balance: 99 Trillion Simp Coins]
"99 trillion…" He read the number aloud, his voice trembling. It had to be some kind of prank, right? An app glitch? He tried to swipe away the screen, but it remained, fixed like a permanent reality.
[Welcome, Zhao Feng.]
[With every Simp Coin you spend, you will receive rewards.]
[Spend lavishly. Love foolishly. Reap endlessly.]
"What kind of twisted joke is this?" Zhao Feng muttered.
Then, another message popped up.
[First-Time User Gift: 100 Million Simp Coins Unlocked]
A faint, metallic chime echoed from the phone. His eyes widened as his balance instantly increased. The number on the screen read:
[99 Trillion 100 Million Simp Coins]
"This can't be real."
He frantically searched for signs of trickery. Was this a scam? But the system didn't ask for any credit card information. There were no suspicious links. Only the cold, glowing interface, waiting for his command.
A new message blinked.
[Would you like to activate your first purchase?]
[Recommended Item: Luxury Suit – 800,000 Simp Coins]
A mental image flashed in his mind — a sharp, tailored Italian suit, its dark fabric lined with subtle gold embroidery. He could almost feel the smoothness of the silk beneath his fingers.
"800,000 Simp Coins," Zhao Feng whispered. "But... I don't even have to spend my own money."
His hand trembled as he tapped [Confirm].
Ding!
The world around him shifted. A surge of warmth ran through his body. The worn-out hoodie and jeans he'd been wearing dissolved in a golden shimmer, replaced by the very suit he had envisioned. Sleek. Refined. Powerful.
He staggered to the nearest shop window to see his reflection. The man who stared back wasn't the defeated university loser. No, this was a man of wealth, dripping with confidence. His dark hair, once unkempt, now styled effortlessly. The suit hugged his frame like it was custom-made for royalty.
"Is this really me?" Zhao Feng touched his chest, the fabric impossibly soft. The system chimed again.
[Congratulations! Style +50, Charisma +80, Confidence +100]
He couldn't believe it. Every second he wore the suit, he felt the difference. His back straightened. His stride lengthened. Even his once-slouched shoulders now stood tall.
"This… this is insane."
A wild grin spread across his face. The humiliations of the past, the words Bai Xinyue spat at him — they no longer weighed him down. If money could change how the world saw him, then he would change everything.
**[Would you like to spend more?]**
**[Every coin spent will bring greater rewards.]**
Zhao Feng's fingers hovered over the screen. The temptation was unbearable.
But just then —
"Hey, Zhao Feng!"
A familiar voice snapped him from his thoughts. He turned to see his dormmate, Liu Tao, running toward him, panting heavily. His eyes widened as he took in Zhao Feng's transformation.
"Dude… what happened to you? Are you… rich now?" Liu Tao stammered.
Zhao Feng smirked, adjusting his cufflinks. "You could say that."
"Wait, wait, wait. Did you just win the lottery or something?" Liu Tao's mouth hung open. "This suit alone looks like it costs more than our entire dorm building!"
Zhao Feng chuckled. "Let's just say my luck's turned around."
Liu Tao grabbed his shoulders. "Bro, you're glowing. No joke. You have this… vibe. Like a CEO or something."
Zhao Feng's grin widened. "And this is only the beginning."
[The Simpverse System has awakened.]
[Spend without fear. Rise without limit.]
Tomorrow, the world would see the new Zhao Feng. And no one — not even Bai Xinyue — would dare look down on him again.
