After finishing everything, Chen Han finally put down his phone.

The time had already passed eleven at night.

Chen Han walked out of the room; Ling Xue and Gangzi were both waiting in the hall.Full novel: When the Apocalypse Begins, I’ll Amass a Fortune — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“Han-ge, the [Doomsday Dawn] forum has exploded—everyone is talking about you!” Ling Xue rushed over, her long legs moving quickly.

Chen Han took the phone.

Two huge posts were pinned at the top of the forum.

[Shocking!

Attentive players calculated that VIP15 requires over 1 billion in top-ups!

Who exactly is “Suit Thug”?]

[Whole server shaken!

The so-called “Impossible-to-Clear Death Dungeon” was destroyed by Suit Thug!]

[The server’s only orange weapon revealed—who is the lucky one?

Is it “Suit Thug” again?]

In the comments below, players voiced countless opinions.

“Holy shit, found a massive sucker!

This game is good, but topping up 1 billion is insane!”

“Poster above is stupid.

To you it’s 1 billion; to Suit Boss it’s just pocket change!”

“Spending a billion—what kind of account is that?

Killing monsters must all be one-shot kills.

Where’s the gameplay in that?”

“Look carefully at the combat power leaderboard.

Suit Boss is ranked outside the top hundred and stuck at level 49.

How did he clear the Chainsaw Nightmare dungeon?”

“Holy shit, you’re right!

Spent a billion and still level 49.

I thought he’d jump straight to full level 60!”

“Boss’s mysterious behavior is beyond me.

I only know he bought out all the food and high-grade steel in the trading market.”

“Hoarding food?

Definitely a huge sucker.

He doesn’t even know how to get stronger.

A guy like that deserves a billion?

Heaven is unfair!”

“You guys know nothing.

Suit Boss, have my babies!

Just share 100 million with me!”

Seeing these comments, Chen Han couldn’t help laughing.

It didn’t matter—if everyone understood his strategy, then he wouldn’t have the advantage.

Chen Han glanced at the time; two minutes remained before midnight.

“Just watch—the world is about to shake.” Chen Han smirked.

When midnight arrived, the [Doomsday Dawn] official site would post an announcement about the anniversary event.

Of course, many would dismiss such absurdity, but it would still cause a huge commotion.

Because there were too many players of [Doomsday Dawn]—any announcement would shake the world.

The shock would be so great that officials from all nations would intervene.

And once they started investigating the game’s origins, the shock would reach its peak!

Because this game had no developers.

It seemed to appear out of thin air, yet felt so natural that no one questioned it.

Countries had even held an international conference over it, attempting to find the game studio.

None of the officials believed it appeared out of nowhere.

They all concluded it must be a “prank” created secretly by some nation.

The purpose: to incite global panic!

Just like in his previous life, at 12:00 AM on June 30th, [Doomsday Dawn] posted an announcement.

[Dear players, thank you for your support and love for “Doomsday Dawn” this past year!

As a gesture of gratitude, on the first anniversary—July 1st, 2035—”Doomsday Dawn” will descend upon Blue Star, allowing players to fully experience the culture of the game!]

[At that time, veteran players will inherit their in-game accounts—gold coins, equipment, resources, etc.]

[New players can only pray for good fortune!]

[Detailed gameplay will be announced once the event officially starts.

Thank you!]

A short announcement instantly detonated the world.

Many people didn’t believe it, yet countless die-hard [Doomsday Dawn] players logged in to top-up!

What’s the most important thing in gaming?

Topping up, of course!

But the result shocked everyone.

The top-up channel was closed!

All players were dumbfounded.

The most money-hungry game in history… closed its payment system?!

With this news, many began believing the game might truly descend onto Blue Star.

In the villa, Ling Xue and Gangzi stared wide-eyed at the announcement.

They looked at Chen Han in disbelief.

“Han-ge… the apocalypse is real?”

Remembering Chen Han’s recent actions, Gangzi’s hands trembled as he held his phone.

To him, this had at least an 80% chance of being true.

Chen Han smiled.

“Come with me.”

He led Ling Xue and Gangzi out of the villa to the football field in front.

Looking at the piles of food before them, Chen Han reached out his hand.

The next moment, a ton of chocolate vanished instantly.

Seeing this, Ling Xue and Gangzi stood frozen.

“Holy shit—holy shit!

Magic tricks?!”

“Han-ge, how did you do that?”

When the game descends, you’ll be able to do it too.” Chen Han said.

Ling Xue and Gangzi were veteran players of [Doomsday Dawn], so they should quickly adapt to the apocalypse.

“The apocalypse… like in the game?” Gangzi shivered, recalling the terrifying zombies.

If those monsters appeared in reality, it would be horrifying.

Ling Xue blinked her big eyes.

She seemed prepared—not frightened at all, even a little excited.

All because she trusted Chen Han.

She believed Chen Han would protect her.

“Xiaoxue, tomorrow, go bring your uncle here.

From now on, we’ll build a fortress here for the apocalypse.”

Chen Han patted Ling Xue’s head.

“Okay!” she nodded obediently.

As for Gangzi—he had no family.

The closest person to him was Chen Han, so he had no worries about the apocalypse.

“Relax and prepare yourselves.” Chen Han reminded them, then stored all the food into the inventory under their stunned gazes.

That night was destined to be sleepless.

[Doomsday Dawn]’s announcement spread across the world.

Even people who didn’t play games had heard of it.

Governments were overwhelmed, issuing clarification notices nonstop.

[Do not spread rumors.

After verification, this is only a promotional gimmick by the game company.

Trust your government!]

With official suppression, the panic finally eased slightly.

But some people noticed that the announcement remained pinned on the official site, with no sign of removal.

Normally, the game would’ve been shut down already.

But not only was it still open—nothing inside the game had changed.

In fact, a countdown was displayed on the world channel.

“23 hours until the game descends into reality.”

With the countdown above them like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, players were all unsettled.

And then—another shock.

“Suit Thug” made his move again!

In the trading market’s equipment section, all beginner gear for levels 1–9 was wiped clean.

From purple gear to white gear—everything.

Players were stunned.

This was just ordinary starter equipment.

Why would Suit Boss buy it all?

Even though this low-level gear wasn’t expensive, the sheer quantity was ridiculous!

White gear was about 100 gold, blue 300, pink 500, purple 1000.

Altogether, over two million pieces—what an insane purchase!

Rough estimate: at least 500 million gold!

Converted—that was 500 million in cash!

Wasn’t this the ultimate sucker move?
