On June 29, 2035, there were less than two days left before "Doom Dawn" descended upon the world.
Early in the morning, Jack was awakened by the ringing phone. He thought it was Lily, that crazy woman, but it turned out to be Sam.
"Brother Jack, I'm at your door, and I've got the goods for you." "Just come in. Unload the things on the football field." Sam had the electronic password to his front - door. This guy was very respectful. Although their relationship was as close as brothers, Sam had always respected him since childhood.
After entering society, Sam was too honest and suffered a lot from the harshness of the world. Later, when Jack made his fortune, he opened a five - star hotel for Sam, and Sam was extremely grateful to him. In his past life, Jack felt very guilty about Sam's death. In this life, he must make it up to him.
Moreover, Sam was an excellent cook. In the future, Jack would have to rely on him in terms of food. In the end - times, the person cooking had to be someone he trusted, otherwise, he really couldn't eat with peace of mind.
Walking out of the villa, a slightly chubby and strong young man smiled and stepped forward. "Brother Jack, everything is ready. A thousand tons of beef, a thousand tons of pork, and all kinds of fresh meat and seafood." "I've also got all the snacks and stuff." "Thanks for your hard work." Jack patted Sam on the shoulder, then looked at the food in front of him. Canned food, ham sausages, instant noodles... Snickers, Dove chocolates, Xu Fuji candies... Snacks from the three major brands, Three Squirrels, Good Choice, and Bestore, all kinds of preserved fruits, dried meats, nuts... Potato chips, spicy strips, soft drinks... Seeing these things, Jack smiled. This was what food should be like! He still remembered that in the early days when the game descended into the real world, the food that dropped was things like fruit pulp, dried beef, and expired bread. It was disgusting!
"Brother Jack, can you tell me what's going on? Preparing so many things, we can't eat them all in a lifetime!" Sam knew Jack very well. Jack would never do stupid things. But whether it was selling the company, spending a fortune on the mobile game, or hoarding food, all these actions left Sam confused. Was this something his big brother would do? "It's hard to explain in a short time. You'll know tomorrow night." "Stay here and play games with me these two days." Sam nodded helplessly. Even without Jack saying, he would stay. He had to keep an eye on Jack. These actions were too strange.
Jack's actions also attracted the attention of his neighbors. Although he lived in an independent manor, there were still many rich people nearby. Sure enough, four luxury cars came one after another. Three men in high - end suits got out of the cars respectively.
David, a real - estate tycoon. Henry, a new - media mogul. Victor, a clothing magnate.
Seeing the three of them, a hint of gloom flashed across Jack's face. They had a long - standing feud. In his past life, these were the very people who had caused his death! In his past life, after the end - times came, because they knew each other and were neighbors, they banded together to resist the disaster. Unexpectedly, Lily, that bitch, joined hands with them to kill him and seize all his resources.
"Brother Jack, long time no see!" A cute and charming girl in a short skirt jumped out of the last car. Emily helped a man in his fifties (Mr. Thompson) get out of the car, then greeted Jack with an innocent look on her face.
A smile appeared on Jack's face. Looking at the young girl, his heart trembled slightly. Emily. In his past life, she had died protecting him, tortured by Lily. In the end, she lay in his arms and said the words she had always kept in her heart. It was a pity that it was too late. Jack had watched her die right in front of his eyes. Remembering those memories, Jack couldn't help but clench his fists. Reborn, he would definitely avenge her!
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Mr. Thompson beside Emily. He didn't expect that he would come too. The four men in front of him could make the city tremble with a single stamp of their feet. He was able to sell his company in a short time precisely because of these people.
"Hey, Brother Jack, what are you doing here?" David, the balding one, sized up the goods on the football field with interest and asked. "Stockpiling supplies? What? Is the end of the world coming?" Victor laughed mockingly without any restraint. "What kind of supplies? He's probably going to stay at home and play games for the rest of his life!" Henry curled his lips. After he finished speaking, the three of them all burst into laughter. They were all players of "Doom Dawn", so they naturally knew what Jack had been doing. They were convinced that Jack had gone crazy playing the game and his mind was messed up.
Mr. Thompson, who had been silent all this time, also frowned and let out a sigh in his heart. "Jack, you really disappoint me." Mr. Thompson shook his head as he looked at Jack. Originally, he had high hopes for Jack, this rising star. He had even considered marrying his daughter to him. Even when Jack sold his company, he had strongly supported him. Mr. Thompson believed that Jack must have his own plans. But unexpectedly, this was the result. He was extremely disappointed. "Sigh." Mr. Thompson let out a deep sigh and turned to get into the car. "Emily, let's go."
Seeing this scene, Jack felt a bit sad. This was the person he respected the most. He owed his current situation to this person's help. He knew that Mr. Thompson was very disappointed in him, but it didn't matter. After the end - times came, everything would become clear.
Emily pouted. "Dad, I want to play with Brother Jack for a while. You go back first!"
A few minutes later, the four luxury cars drove away. Emily skipped over with her hands behind her back. A look of "I understand you" appeared on her beautiful face. "Selling the company to get cash and stockpiling supplies. Is the end - times coming?" "Spending a fortune in the game is because the end - times are related to 'Doom Dawn'?" As soon as she said these words, Jack's eyes widened in surprise. "How do you know?" Emily showed a wise smile. "Yo, I guessed right!" "It's really the same as the plot in novels!" Jack: ... "Then do you believe it?" Emily blinked her eyes and looked seriously into Jack's eyes. "I don't believe this nonsense about the end - times, but I believe in you!" Jack lovingly ruffled Emily's hair. "Tell me, how much money do you have in your secret stash?" Emily smiled sweetly and held up one finger. "One million?" "Guess again." "Ten million?" Jack was a bit surprised. How could a college student have so much savings? "No no no, you underestimate me. It's 100 million!" Jack: ... Truly worthy of being the daughter of the richest man! "Put it all into the game. You'll be the second - richest person in the world in the future!" "Okay." Without hesitation, Emily took out her phone and opened the game.
[Dear VIP6 player 'Loli Sweetheart', you have successfully topped up 100 million for 'The Suit - Clad Thug'.] [The intimacy between Loli Sweetheart and The Suit - Clad Thug has reached 'Life - and - Death Bond'.] [Life - and - Death Bond: When players fight against enemies together, their attack power increases by 10%, defense power increases by 10%, speed increases by 10%, and spiritual energy value increases by 10%.] The voice of the game system rang out, and Jack was stunned.
Emily wrapped her arm around Jack's and smiled sweetly. "Let's go back and play the game. I'm already level 39, you know."
Seeing this scene, Sam beside them was completely dumbfounded. Damn it, young miss, why are you also going crazy with him? Sam shook his head helplessly. Oh well, let him do as he pleases. No matter how he squandered, he still had a five - star hotel, which was enough to ensure Jack's food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Just as the three of them were about to enter the villa, a shrewish voice rang out from behind. "Jack, stop right there." "Are you crazy? Why are you buying so many things?" Lily finally showed up, followed by a blond - haired man. Seeing Jack, the blond - haired man rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards him without saying a word.
