At the moment Tidus logged off, he clicked on the 104,280 gold coins in his backpack and chose to cash out all of them.
Then, the cocoon wrapping around Tidus's body disappeared.
"Ding dong..."
"SMS reminder: Your account received a deposit today: $10,480 (Bank of America)"
After logging off, a text message popped up.
A total of 104,280 gold coins, exchanged to USD at a 1:0.1 ratio, came to exactly $10,480. Well, on the first day of God World he'd already made over $10,000. This income was much higher than some million dollar annual salary at PwC.
After taking a shower, Tidus changed into comfortable casual clothes and went out, preparing to eat.
On the first floor of the apartment building, there was a nice restaurant called Orris Root. Tidus used to only occasionally come here for a treat, but now he could finally satisfy his appetite properly.
He chose a seat by the window and ordered a Caesar salad, a medium-rare wagyu steak, and a bottle of red wine.
In the restaurant, there were several young white-collar workers who looked like mid-level company employees, wearing blazers, pencil pants, high heels, with luxury brand bags on their laps, all eating their meals. When they saw Tidus, their eyes couldn't help but light up...
"That guy is so handsome. Should we go flirt with him..."
"He's such a cute young guy..."
"Coming to a restaurant to eat alone, could he be a lonely rich second-generation heir..." Several young ladies discussed privately.
"Forget it. Look at his clothes, all the lowest-tier domestic brands. He's probably just a poor boy who came to the upscale restaurant to hook rich girls." A girl wearing gold earrings and carrying a Dior bag said bitterly. Well, she had been deceived before, played for free by a scammer pretending to be a rich heir for half a month, doing it five times a day until she was all swollen, and in the end, he didn't even buy her a single bag.
Tidus had no idea he had already been labeled as a poor boy trying to hook beautiful women.
While eating, he opened his phone and logged into the official God World forum, preparing to see if there was any important news. As soon as the page opened, Tidus saw a post that had been upvoted few million times.
"East Coast Village 950, Player [Tyrant] First Boss Kill!"
He clicked to open it.
At the beginning of the video, several major guilds in Village 950 were working hard to beat the Boss. Suddenly, an archer player who had been setting up a stall in the corner stood up and came to the plaza. With a few quick arrows, he instantly killed several guild players.
Then, this archer displayed crazy attack speed and triggered a [Blizzard], slaughtering nearly a thousand guild players on the scene, except for the Blood Rose Garden.
Finally, he soloed the Boss to death by himself.
This person's ID: [Tyrant]!
Combined with epic music and a professional streamer's passionate commentary, the entire video was incredibly thrilling and exciting... Even Tidus's heart was pounding as he watched. Was the person in this video really him? At the time, he was just casually killing some people and beating a Boss.
It was made to look like he had saved the world...
Below were rows and rows of comments.
"Lord Tyrant, my GOAT, please accept my knee! 1 vs 1000+ Boss, too awesome!"
"Damn, how many years has little brother Tyrant been single? His hand speed is so fast, be careful not to overexert yourself..."
"Wuwu, even my boyfriend's hand speed isn't as fast as Tyrant's... ah bah, this lady seems to have exposed something..."
"Well done, Tyrant, kill all those dog guild players..."
"Speaking of which, who is Tyrant? Never heard of such a person in the East Coast region?!"
"Probably a professional esports player. Now that God World is so popular, all big teams and orgs are all moving into God World. I heard this game will have esports leagues in the future."
"Judging from his positioning and technique, Tyrant's kiting skills have reached perfection. Definitely a god gamer!"
Besides admiration, most netizens were speculating about Tyrant's identity. After all, online gaming was very developed domestically, and any skilled player had their commonly used ID.
Tyrant, this name appeared for the first time in an online game.
Closing the post, Tidus browsed for a while longer and found that some people were questioning whether Tyrant was cheating, and the poster was from the Overlord Alliance. However, God World was a game run autonomously by a mastermind AI, jointly endorsed by over a hundred countries in the United Nations, absolutely cheat-free, so it didn't cause much of a stir.
Of course, although God World had no cheats, there were some backdoors deliberately left by various governments during game development. This was also one of God World's biggest secrets.
Tidus only learned about this by chance several years after the apocalypse descended in his previous life. The shock at that time was imaginable...
