Zhao Feng, a broke university dropout, spends years hopelessly chasing after his dream girl, the campus goddess Bai Xinyue, only to be humiliated and rejected. On the brink of despair, a mysterious app suddenly appears on his phone — The Simpverse System. With a jaw-dropping balance of 99 Trillion Simp Coins, Zhao Feng gains the ultimate power: the more he spends, the more rewards he reaps. Supercars, luxury mansions, rare collectibles — no expense is too great. As he splurges recklessly, he unlocks insane attributes, from superhuman charm to godlike business acumen.

But this game has no exit. Each coin spent tightens his fate — and every girl who once looked down on him now finds herself inexplicably drawn to his magnetic presence. Is it the money, or has Zhao Feng truly become irresistible?

Faced with temptation, jealousy, and unexpected love, Zhao Feng must decide: will he remain the ultimate simp, or rise as a self-made legend?

I Am the Billionaire King of Simpverse

The streets of the city gleamed under the fading twilight, the distant hum of luxury vehicles echoing through the avenues. But while the city's elite reveled in their grandeur, forces unseen began to stir.

Far from the glittering lights, in a dimly lit underground lounge, whispers of Zhao Feng's movements traveled like wildfire.

At the center of it all sat Luo Jian.

Clad in a dark gray suit, his eyes gleamed with curiosity and amusement. The enigmatic man had long thrived in the shadows, dealing in secrets and power. Yet, Zhao Feng's rise had piqued his interest — a man who controlled vast wealth without seeking the spotlight.

"Zhao Feng..." Luo Jian tapped the rim of his glass thoughtfully. "You hide well, but not well enough."

A low chuckle escaped him. In the world of power, those who remained unseen often posed the greatest threat.

Meanwhile, Su Mei was far from done. Despite the polite smiles and civil words exchanged at the private gathering, the questions in her mind only grew louder.

Back at her penthouse, the soft glow of the desk lamp illuminated the meticulous notes she had gathered. Flow charts, transaction records, and concealed corporate ties sprawled across the table.

"You've woven quite the web, Zhao Feng," she murmured, eyes narrowing. "But every web has its weak thread."

Just then, her phone buzzed. It was Liu Cheng.

"I traced the offshore accounts," he said, his voice tense. "But there's a catch. Some of them are linked to organizations operating... outside the law."

Su Mei's eyes darkened. "Criminal ties?"

"Not directly. More like powerful intermediaries. And the unsettling part? Someone's trying to cover the tracks just as quickly as I find them."

A dangerous game was being played.

"Keep digging," Su Mei commanded. "I want everything."

[Su Mei Suspicion +12%]

At the pinnacle of a luxury skyscraper, Zhao Feng stood by the expansive window, gazing out at the city he quietly controlled.

"Boss," Xiao Ling's voice came through the encrypted line. "Su Mei's investigation is progressing. She's dangerously close to one of the proxy accounts."

Zhao Feng's expression remained calm. "She's thorough. But no matter how far she goes, she'll never find the core."

Zhao Feng's jaw tightened. Unlike Su Mei, Luo Jian was a different beast — a seasoned manipulator with no allegiance. His interest in Zhao Feng could mean trouble.

"Keep a close eye on him," Zhao Feng ordered. "If he makes a move, I want to know."

[Stealth Reputation +600]

The days passed, and the storm grew closer. While Zhao Feng remained veiled in shadows, Su Mei's investigation inched closer to the truth. Luo Jian, ever the opportunist, watched with amusement — waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

A single misstep from either side would ignite a chain of consequences. And in this silent battlefield, the one who could read the shadows best would emerge victorious.
