Chapter 1: Rebirth Before the Arrival of the Apocalypse Game
Chapter 1: Rebirth Before the Arrival of the Apocalypse Game
“Chen Han, are you crazy? Why did you sell the company?”
“Do you know this is our future!”
Looking at Xiao Rou’s furious expression, Chen Han found it a little funny.
He couldn’t understand how he had liked this gold-digging woman in his previous life.
Yes, Chen Han was a reborn person.
In his previous life, he had been framed and killed by this gold-digging woman who colluded with outsiders, stealing all his resources.
The origin of everything came from an open-world multiplayer online apocalypse survival game, 【Doomsday Dawn】.
As soon as this game launched, it was loved by people all over the world, almost sweeping across the entire Blue Star.
But unexpectedly, on the first anniversary of its release, 【Doomsday Dawn】 descended into the real world.
Bloodthirsty zombies, berserk mutant beasts, and countless indescribable terrifying creatures descended upon Blue Star.
Fighting monsters for loot, wilderness survival, awakening abilities, clearing dungeons to level up... everything that once existed only inside the game began to manifest in the real world.
Humanity ushered in the apocalypse!
And Chen Han was a veteran player of 【Doomsday Dawn】. When the game descended, he not only inherited his character’s abilities but also the items inside his account.
Therefore, after the apocalypse began, he lived relatively well, protecting Xiao Rou for three full years.
But unexpectedly, the person he risked his life to protect betrayed him because of the resources in his hands.
To Chen Han’s surprise, he was reborn and returned to three days before the game’s descent.
With his enemy before him, Chen Han was in no rush for revenge. Once the apocalypse arrived, he would have plenty of methods!
What mattered most now was to top up money inside 【Doomsday Dawn】 before it descended into reality!
What is the most important thing in an apocalypse survival game?
Food, equipment, and abilities!
Chen Han remembered that at the moment the apocalypse arrived, all food in the real world was contaminated.
Anyone who ate the contaminated substances would turn into a bloodthirsty zombie.
And whatever the zombie had eaten an hour before mutating would drop as in-game items after being killed by players.
Therefore, killing zombies was an essential process, and strength became crucial.
Chen Han had to fully gear up his account’s character to the strongest possible level before 【Doomsday Dawn】 descended.
As the most pay-to-win mobile game on Blue Star, Chen Han directly sold his company for cash and spent it all on top-ups.
“You’re still laughing—tell me now, where did all the money go?”
“If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll break up with you!” Xiao Rou cursed with a flushed face, her anger nearly exploding.
She had already regarded Chen Han’s assets as her own property—how could the duck already in her mouth fly away?
Chen Han sneered inwardly, ‘Good grief, your greed is disgusting. Haven’t you already taken enough from me?’
A rough calculation showed that in just over a year of being together, Chen Han had given her no less than one hundred million in cash!
‘Perfect, I need money urgently. Time to squeeze out what’s in your pockets.’
Chen Han smiled faintly: “Xiao Rou, that small company isn’t worth keeping. I cashed out because I found a great project!”
Under Xiao Rou’s shocked gaze, he added: “A guaranteed profit investment.”
“What a pity. The money I got from the company was only nine hundred million, so the return will only be tenfold.”
Hearing this, Xiao Rou widened her eyes. “What? A guaranteed tenfold return?”
Xiao Rou was completely shocked. She knew Chen Han very well—this guy was definitely a business genius.
A company valued at 900 million, built entirely from scratch by him—can you believe that?
Since Chen Han had gone all-in, she felt a little tempted.
After thinking for a moment: “Chen Han, I actually have a bit of money too. How about I put it in as well?”
“We’re going to get married sooner or later anyway. After marriage it’s all shared property, right? So just take it and invest!”
“I trust you!”
After saying that, she blushed and leaned toward him.
Hearing this, the corner of Chen Han’s mouth lifted slightly. This vicious woman changed expressions faster than flipping a book.
She was talking about breaking up just moments ago, and now she’s talking about getting married soon—I trust your bullshit!
However, Chen Han successfully tricked Xiao Rou into handing over her 100 million.
After a round of sweet talk, Xiao Rou left the villa with beautiful expectations in her heart.
“I’ll let you live three more days!”
Chen Han watched her leave with cold eyes.
Then, he opened the 【Doomsday Dawn】 mobile game.
As eerie music played, a ferocious zombie lunged across the screen, followed by a login prompt.
【Honorable VIP6 player Suit Thug, you have not logged in for one hour. A special return gift pack has been delivered to you. Recharge 648 to receive double gold.】
Truly worthy of being called a vampire pay-to-win game—just one hour offline and there’s already a return gift!
“I like it!”
Chen Han beamed and clicked recharge instantly!
After the game descended, Blue Star’s currency system completely collapsed, converting into the game’s currency.
In other words, the currency inside the game would eventually become the money circulating in the real world!
【Congratulations on your successful recharge! You have obtained 1296 gold.】
【Congratulations on activating the Food Gift Pack. Special price 328. You can obtain Berries100, Bread100, Chocolate*50...】
【Congratulations on activating the Materials Gift Pack...】
【Congratulations on activating the Equipment Gift Pack...】
One after another, more than ten such gift packs popped up, and Chen Han bought all of them.
Then Chen Han recharged one billion into his account in one go!
【Congratulations, player Suit Thug, your VIP level has increased to VIP10.】
【VIP10 benefit: Backpack space becomes unlimited.】
As the system voice sounded, a virtual panel appeared before Chen Han’s eyes—the in-game storage interface—an unlimited backpack!
Perhaps due to his rebirth, he discovered a game bug.
There were still three days until 【Doomsday Dawn】 descended, yet Chen Han’s in-game storage had already become data-realized.
Although only the food tab could be freely taken out and stored, while other tabs like equipment and materials remained greyed out.
But this already delighted Chen Han.
What did this mean?
It meant that before 【Doomsday Dawn】 descended into reality, Chen Han could stockpile food inside his character’s backpack.
Food stored in the game beforehand wouldn’t be contaminated.
This was a massive bug.
Do you know how scarce food was in 【Doomsday Dawn】?
Non-paying players spent 60% of their time starving.
In the game, hunger only slowed movement and reduced strength.
But once in the real world, it could literally starve you to death!
Chen Han had experienced that pain in his previous life.
Speaking of this, Chen Han opened the player trading market and located the food category, his fingers moving rapidly.
He spent 80 million buying out all the food in the marketplace.
After discovering this bug, Chen Han had a bold idea!
He wouldn’t just hoard food—he would short the entire 【Doomsday Dawn】 food market and even monopolize all food in the apocalypse!
