“Holy shit, what does Suit Boss mean?

Is he plotting some grand scheme?”

“The key point is that buying this many newbie items is useless.Full novel: When the Apocalypse Begins, I’ll Amass a Fortune — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Once you pass level 10, they’re all trash!”

“Exactly.

I can reach level 10 in half an hour.

After the newbie phase, who the hell still uses that junk?”

The players of [Doomsday Dawn] exploded again—nobody knew Suit Boss’s purpose.

Some said Suit Boss believed the apocalypse would descend and was preparing ahead of time.

Whether it was hoarding food or mass-buying gear, his actions seemed to follow a pattern.

But this explanation wasn’t convincing.

Food?

There’s plenty in the real world.

If you want to stockpile, you stockpile real food.

Compared to real food, does game food even count as food?

Even dogs wouldn’t eat that crap!

And considering gold conversion rates, game food was even more expensive than real food.

And those newbie weapons—daggers, machetes, axes—cold weapons.

Use those to fight zombies?

It’s fine in the game, but in the real world?

Are you kidding?

Besides, millions of items… even if Suit Boss spent his entire life swapping gear nonstop, he’d never finish using them all.

Therefore, people discarded this explanation and trusted another one.

The second theory was that “Suit Thug” was an undercover promoter for [Doomsday Dawn]!

Whether it was VIP15 or his series of mysterious actions, everything was orchestrated by the game company.

The purpose was to attract attention and hype up the anniversary event!

This theory lined up perfectly with the official government clarification—”the apocalypse won’t descend.”

Everything was just marketing by the [Doomsday Dawn] game!

Such shameless tactics for attention truly disgusted people.

Immediately, countless players flooded the game forum to berate the developers.

Many even privately messaged “Suit Thug” and cursed him out.

“You damn shill!”

“Get lost, scumbag!

People like you just want chaos!”

“Bastard, don’t let me find out who you are.

I’ll beat you every time I see you!”

These troll comments made Chen Han find everything hilarious.

This world never lacks haters!

The reason he bought newbie gear wasn’t just to monopolize the market and make money; he also wanted to remind players of the importance of newbie gear.

If they understood his intentions and started forging low-level gear now, they still had time.

Otherwise, once the apocalypse arrived and the NPCs disappeared, low-level gear could no longer be forged.

And with their high-level equipment being unusable, they’d be forced to fight zombies with their bare fists!

Unfortunately, no one believed the apocalypse was coming, nor did anyone analyze Chen Han’s actions carefully.

Chen Han didn’t want to explain too much.

Saints who try to save the world die early—he wouldn’t bother with them.

He’d be invincible anyway.

They could do whatever they wanted.

…

In a nightclub in Jianghai City, three wealthy men—Li Chuanqi, He Dongfa, and Lü Bufan—had gathered together.

They also played [Doomsday Dawn], so naturally they knew about the online chaos.

Li Chuanqi looked worried.

“You don’t think Doomsday Dawn will actually descend into the real world, right?”

“Hahaha!” He Dongfa glanced at him, laughing without answering.

“Old Li, do you really believe such nonsense?” Lü Bufan puffed a smoke ring from his cigar.

“But Chen Han’s behavior is suspicious.

Haven’t you two ever wondered about it?” Li Chuanqi said, looking even heavier.

“Don’t underestimate that kid.

In just three years in business, he built a company that could even threaten our status.”

“Would someone like that really be stupid enough to sell his own company and pour all the money into a game?”

“At first, I only found it strange, but now with these rumors, I feel he might actually know something!”

Hearing this, both He Dongfa and Lü Bufan froze mid-motion, frowning.

Indeed, they had wanted to crush Chen Han, and after acquiring his company, they lowered their guard.

That kid was no ordinary person.

“Analyzing his actions carefully, they are suspicious.

Could he know the apocalypse is coming?” He Dongfa’s frown deepened.

“Should we ask him?” Li Chuanqi suggested.

“He bought such a massive amount of resources.

If the apocalypse really comes, he’d earn a fortune!”

“Ask him?

You think he’d tell you?” Lü Bufan sneered.

“I don’t believe this apocalypse nonsense anyway.”

“It’s just a game.

How could it overturn the world?”

“But honestly… I do kinda want the apocalypse to come.”

Hearing this, Li Chuanqi and He Dongfa stared at him. Visit g.com for the full chapter.

“Why?”

They were wealthy and influential in Jianghai City—they should be the last people wanting the apocalypse.

Lü Bufan smiled deeply.

“If [Doomsday Dawn] descends into reality, don’t forget—we’re all veteran players.”

Li Chuanqi and He Dongfa suddenly understood.

They had spent millions in the game, were fully equipped in purple gear, and were A-rank professionals—ranked top 500 globally.

With that kind of power, why fear the apocalypse?

“Global top 500… we might even dominate the apocalypse, no longer confined to Jianghai City!”

“That’s right!

So what if the world ends—we’d still be on top!”

The three exchanged glances and burst into wild laughter.

…

As apocalypse rumors spread, Xiao Rou also received the news.

She suddenly remembered what Chen Han once told her—the project with tenfold returns!

Chen Han sold his company, topped up the game, hoarded resources—all because he knew the apocalypse was coming!

“I’m going to be rich!” Xiao Rou’s first thought was the hundred million she had given Chen Han!

“When the apocalypse descends, Chen Han’s massive moves will earn far more than just one billion!”

“My investment is actually paying off—did I just earn one billion?” The more Xiao Rou thought, the more excited she became.

“No—knowing him, it won’t just be ten times.”

“I want at least fifty billion!”

“No, Chen Han loves me so much—his money is my money!”

Xiao Rou bounced off the bed, thrilled.

She hurriedly messaged Chen Han.

[“Baby, where are you?

I’m coming to find you now.”]

[Chen Han: “No need.

Tonight at midnight, meet me at the Buckingham Hotel.

I have a surprise.”]

Seeing the reply, Xiao Rou’s eyes lit up.

She felt like she was floating—overwhelmed with joy.

She didn’t care about any apocalypse.

As long as there was money, even if the sky fell, she’d accept it!

In the villa, Chen Han put away his phone.

He knew Xiao Rou had taken the bait.

Based on what he knew of her, someone so blinded by greed would never check her in-game account.

She was definitely already rushing to the hotel.

Chen Han checked the time—it was already 6 p.m., 6 hours left until the apocalypse.

After giving Ling Xue and Gangzi some instructions, he drove toward the Buckingham Hotel.

If he remembered correctly, that was where the first apocalypse supply drop would appear!
