Xiao Rou lay comfortably on the bed, her mood lifted after receiving Ling Xue’s promise of 300 million in compensation.

She opened the mobile game [Doomsday Dawn].

“Chen Han, that idiot, actually dumped all his assets into the game.Full novel: When the Apocalypse Begins, I’ll Amass a Fortune — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Brain-dead!”

Xiao Rou tapped open the panel of “Suit Thug” and saw the shiny golden letters [VIP11] displayed above.

“Damn it, if I had two more years, all that money would’ve been mine!”

Thinking of this, a hint of anger rose in Xiao Rou’s heart.

Although Chen Han was young and handsome, Xiao Rou still preferred money more.

Her dream was to use her short youth to obtain as much wealth as possible and enjoy the most luxurious life.

As for living with whom, she didn’t care.

She only had feelings for money!

At that moment, a message popped up in the in-game chat interface, “Suit Thug”?

Seeing this ID, Xiao Rou sat up instantly, countless guesses flashing through her mind.

‘Why is Chen Han looking for me?’

‘Could it be that he still hasn’t let go of me?’

‘No, the way he acted earlier wasn’t fake.’

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Rou opened the chat interface.

[Suit Thug: You there?

Sorry about earlier.]

Boom!

Seeing this message, Xiao Rou froze.

What was going on?

Weren’t they already done for?

Why was he apologizing?

Could it be?

Xiao Rou thought of a possibility and covered her mouth in shock.

‘Chen Han was acting just now!’

‘He still loves me, but in front of Ling Xue, that rich and pretty girl, he had to act disgusted!’

‘Chen Han pretended to break up with me just to pursue a rich beauty?’

‘Now he’s apologizing because he wants to explain himself to me!’

‘If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean I can still be with Chen Han?’

‘Even if it becomes a secret relationship, I can still drain money from him.’

‘Ling Xue supports Chen Han, Chen Han supports me!’

Thinking of this, Xiao Rou happily jumped up.

The daughter of Jianghai’s richest man!

And the sole heir—worth tens of billions!

That was something a small-timer like Chen Han couldn’t compare to.

She was going to be rich!

Xiao Rou was so excited her hands trembled as she typed.

[No need to explain.

I understand your good intentions.

Keep going, love you!]

In the villa, Chen Han saw this message and couldn’t stop laughing.

He knew Xiao Rou too well.

Just one apology from him, and she would start imagining all sorts of things, trying to get close to him again.

Xiao Rou couldn’t bear to lose him—her golden goose!

“I’ll give you a bit of hope, then shove you straight into the abyss!”

Chen Han continued typing.

[Suit Thug: Knew you understood me.

Your allowance will double from now on!]

[Little Tenderness: Thank you hubby, love you mwah mwah!]

While Xiao Rou replied happily, she didn’t realize someone was behind “Little Tenderness”.

In [Doomsday Dawn], in a wilderness area, a female avatar in luxurious fashion with the ID “Little Tenderness” stood still.

Chen Han controlled “Suit Thug” and stood behind her, smiling.

“Good god, she’s pretty loaded.”

Chen Han clicked his tongue.

Under his influence, Xiao Rou had spent a lot of money on her account—money mostly gifted by him.

Just her current outfit alone was worth over a hundred thousand.

He still remembered in his previous life, after the game descended, Xiao Rou had hidden a lot of food, and her bag had over a million gold.

But she never used her own resources—everything was supplied by Chen Han.

In this life, Chen Han would take everything back and let her face zombies with nothing, make her taste starvation!

“Suit Thug” took out a serrated knife and slashed down at the unaware “Little Tenderness”.

[Damage -9999]

[Defense armor broken.

Warning, warning.]

Red light flashed on Xiao Rou’s screen—the sign of being attacked.

She quickly closed the chat interface, but it was too late—the screen turned gray.

[You have been killed.

All supplies have been stolen.

You will be teleported back to Dawn Tower.]

“Ah!

That bastard!

A sneak attack!” Xiao Rou roared in anger at the system message.

When her character returned to the respawn point, “Little Tenderness” had been stripped bare, and all supplies in her bag were gone.

Not even a piece of bread remained.

“Aaaah!

Damn it damn it!”

Xiao Rou slapped her thigh angrily.

She opened the chat interface and found Suit Thug.

[Ugh, it’s all your fault!

I was chatting with you and forgot I was in the wild.

I died and lost everything.]

In the villa, Chen Han covered his mouth, quietly laughing.

Fool, I’m the one who killed you!

Stealing what’s on you is far from enough.

Normally, players don’t bring many supplies into the wild.

Most resources are stored at the respawn point.

That place was [Dawn Tower]!

It was a human settlement in the game, a luxury district requiring huge rent—poor players couldn’t enter.

[Dawn Tower] had one big advantage: players had their own private respawn room, where they could store supplies.

Supplies placed there wouldn’t be lost even if the character died.

Unlike ordinary players who could only build small huts in the wild—not only risk zombies attacking, but also enemy players stealing their homes!

Once your house is robbed and your supplies gone, everything resets to zero.

Chen Han replied, pretending to be angry.

[What?

Who dared kill you?

I’ll hunt him down!]

Xiao Rou pouted.

[Hunt what?

The guy ran away.

I couldn’t even see his ID.

How do you find him?]

[It’s just a pity all my supplies are gone.]

[You recharged so much money—aren’t you going to compensate me?]

Heh, hooked.

Chen Han smirked.

[What’s your Dawn Tower room password?

I’ll send you some supplies—a big surprise.]

Upon seeing this, Xiao Rou didn’t think much.

She had stored a lot of supplies anyway, and it was just a game.

After sending the password, she logged offline.

Feeling great, she went out shopping!

Chen Han sneered inwardly—everything was going according to plan.

After confirming “Little Tenderness” was offline, “Suit Thug” returned to Dawn Tower.

He skillfully arrived at Xiao Rou’s private room.

After entering the password, the door opened.

Chen Han immediately swept all supplies into his own bag.

But what he didn’t expect was how much Xiao Rou had stored.

Various fashion outfits—mostly high-defense gear.

Plenty of weapons: bows, crossbows, firearms, melee weapons—all good stuff.

When Chen Han opened the small safe by the bed, he found over a million gold.

Good lord, this bitch really drained him.

Especially the food—so much of it!

Yet this bitch, during the early apocalypse, never saved any for him, and even forced him to feed her useless brother—leading to Chen Han starving every day afterward!

What a vicious woman.

Hoarding all the good stuff for herself while making him risk his life for supplies.

With all these supplies—and Xiao Rou being a B-rank Ice Shooter—even a pig could survive the apocalypse.

Chen Han, furious, didn’t even leave her the lowest-quality axe.

After the game descends into reality, Dawn Tower shelters appear during the fifth stage of the apocalypse.

At first, Dawn Tower didn’t exist, but the moment the game descends, each player’s Dawn Tower room is assigned on their personal panel.

Players can take out stored supplies directly from the panel to survive the apocalypse!

This was the privilege [Doomsday Dawn] gave to paying players.

When the apocalypse arrives, Xiao Rou will enter her room with nervous excitement.

What will she think when she sees the scene before her?

Just imagining it made Chen Han thrilled!
