Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1: Starting with a 10 Billion Reward, Buying the Entire Street!
"Can you even afford it?"
A stunning woman with an oval face, adorned with a new L.v bag before her, gazed at Lin Fan with evident disdain, posing a question that pierced his very soul.
The surrounding staff and patrons observed the unfolding drama with smug amusement.
Lin Fan, clad in his humble delivery uniform, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.
He had arranged to meet Zhao Xin’er, whom he encountered through a blind date, with the intention of formally confessing his feelings today. However, he was unexpectedly led to this L.v boutique the moment they met.
"If you can pay for one right now and buy it for me, I’ll agree to be with you," Zhao Xin’er declared imperiously, her condescending demeanor dripping with humiliation for Lin Fan.
In her eyes, Lin Fan was merely another admirer, particularly unremarkable and impoverished among them.
Indeed, Lin Fan’s financial situation was dire. After graduating, he had secured a position at a respectable company, only to be framed by colleagues, leading to his termination and subsequent career as a food deliveryman.
His meager monthly earnings were barely sufficient to support his family, leaving virtually no disposable income.
The prospect of paying for an L.v bag in full was an impossible fantasy.
"Look at him, a delivery guy with no grip on reality, dreaming of pursuing a goddess," a bystander scoffed.
"They call this a toad yearning for swan meat!"
"He’s not bad-looking, but a handsome pauper just doesn't measure up to an unattractive rich man!" the crowd whispered and snickered.
These derisive comments amplified Lin Fan’s mortification.
At that precise moment, a brand-new BMW screeched to a halt outside the entrance, its arrival instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Zhao Xin’er’s eyes instantly lit up with anticipation.
The car door swung open, revealing a short, plump man with an unkempt appearance, clutching a bouquet of flowers. Despite his less-than-appealing looks, he suddenly appeared incredibly charming in Zhao Xin’er’s eyes.
It was undeniable proof that money served as the ultimate filter.
The portly gentleman strode directly towards Zhao Xin’er and dropped to one knee.
"My dearest, I’ve harbored feelings for you for a considerable time. Would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend? I present you with my bankbook; it contains enough to purchase a hundred new bags for you!" the man cooed, proffering the bankbook alongside the flowers.
Zhao Xin’er declined the flowers but eagerly seized the bankbook. Upon opening it, she beheld a sum starting with '1' followed by six zeros—a million in savings!
Overjoyed, Zhao Xin’er feigned reluctance, stating, "Considering your sincerity, I shall reluctantly agree to be with you."
"Ah, fantastic!" the stout man exclaimed, leaping up with unbridled joy and clasping Zhao Xin’er’s hand enthusiastically.
The onlookers cast envious glances, murmuring, "Wow, how fortunate to find a wealthy boyfriend!"
The triumphant fat man shot Lin Fan a look of pure contempt.
"You penniless wretch, see that? Love follows wealth. Nowadays, who prioritizes sentiment over cash?" he sneered, prompting peals of laughter from the crowd.
"Sir, if you cannot afford our merchandise, kindly depart and cease disrupting our business!" the shop assistant demanded, issuing an eviction notice to Lin Fan.
"Just leave already, stop embarrassing yourself!" the fat man taunted gleefully.
Lin Fan found it impossible to remain any longer. However, as a young man who had devoured countless novels, he felt compelled to deliver a dramatic farewell statement.
"Very well, I shall depart. Zhao Xin’er, you are discarding a genuinely handsome man; do not come to regret this decision in the future!"
"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west; never underestimate a penniless young man!"
His declaration was met with uproarious laughter, some individuals even clutching their sides in mirth.
"You poor fool, you’re quite the comedian. I’ll give you thirty years, and I guarantee you'll still be a poor sod by then," the fat man guffawed heartily.
Zhao Xin’er addressed Lin Fan, assuring him, "Lin Fan, rest assured, I absolutely will not regret this!"
Ding!
At that precise moment, a voice echoed within Lin Fan’s mind.
"System initialization complete. Binding initiated..."
"Host: Lin Fan."
"Age: 21."
"Occupation: Deliveryman."
"Assets: No property, no vehicle, savings of 1,203 yuan."
"Sign-in system binding successful!"
"First sign-in grants a reward of 100 billion cash. Does the host wish to sign in now?"
Lin Fan was utterly astonished, as if he had just stumbled upon the protagonist's ultimate cheat – a system from a novel!
What an incredibly powerful, awe-inspiring, and earth-shattering system this was!
"Sign in, sign in immediately!" Lin Fan mentally urged.
"Congratulations, sign-in successful! 100 billion cash has been transferred. Please verify your account!"
A text notification promptly arrived on his phone. Lin Fan checked it, and indeed, it was a bank alert.
"Your account ending in 3245 has received a transfer of 100,000,000,000.00 Huaxia Coins. Current balance: 100,000,001,203.00."
It was real!
Lin Fan was overcome with ecstatic joy, having never witnessed such a colossal sum of money in his entire life!
"Why are you still loitering here? Can’t afford a bag and yet you linger?"
"If you refuse to leave, I’ll summon mall security to escort you out!"
The sales assistant’s patience wore thin.
Lin Fan gazed at the assistant and declared with an air of authority, "Who said I can't afford your bags? I'll take every single bag in this entire store!"
An immediate silence fell over the entire establishment.
All eyes turned to Lin Fan, regarding him as if he were completely unhinged.
The portly gentleman let out a booming laugh, "Hahaha, you penniless wretch, what did you just claim? You intend to purchase all the bags here? Do you even possess the funds?"
"I suspect he's completely lost his mind from the shock; poor fellow!"
"Still, it would be prudent to summon security. His mental state is clearly deteriorating significantly!"
Disregarding the surrounding murmurs, Lin Fan calmly produced a bank card and presented it to the assistant. "Whether I can afford it or not, just swipe the card, and you'll know. If the payment fails, I shall crawl out of here myself. Hastily tally the total cost for me!"
The assistant was taken aback; Lin Fan’s demeanor suggested he was entirely serious, leaving her uncertain whether to proceed.
At that precise moment, the store manager approached, accepted the card, and stated, "There's no need to calculate. We completed a full inventory count just last night. The total value of our store's bag inventory amounts to 2 million yuan. Sir, if the card transaction is declined, will you truly depart by crawling?"
Lin Fan affirmed, "Precisely!"
The manager took the card and proceeded to the front counter for the transaction.
Everyone present held their breath, intently observing the unfolding scene.
Nobody entertained the notion that the card swipe would be successful, considering Lin Fan's apparent occupation as a delivery person; they were already anticipating a spectacle of embarrassment.
Beep!
A distinct notification sound chimed.
The manager lifted his head, his voice betraying a slight tremor as he announced, "Card swipe successful."
It had actually worked!
Lin Fan, the delivery guy, possessed a staggering 2 million in available funds!
Utter astonishment gripped the onlookers.
Zhao Xin'er’s eyes widened, and unconsciously, she released her grip on the fat man's hand.
The fat man felt a touch of awkwardness, yet he too was profoundly shocked by Lin Fan's audacious display.
As if the crowd's surprise had reached its peak, Lin Fan retrieved his card, walked towards the store's entrance, and projected his voice across the entire street.
"Hear ye, all establishments lining this street! I shall acquire your entire stock!"
With those pronouncements, the entire thoroughfare seemed to reverberate.
This particular street was no ordinary stretch; it boasted thirteen establishments dealing in apparel, accessories, and fragrances—all representing world-renowned luxury brands!
The inventory within each store alone was valued at a minimum of one million, and Lin Fan was claiming all of it!
The sheer magnitude of the expenditure was staggering!
Excluding the L.v boutique, which had already completed its sale, the remaining twelve stores mobilized their entire staff, guided by their respective managers, to commence a frenzied inventory count.
A few astute observers discreetly retrieved their smartphones, beginning to capture photographic evidence of this extraordinary event...
