GOD MODE FRESHMAN: Trillionaire Simulator

Chapter 10 - 10: Breaking the Billion Barrier

7:45 PM – Changran Residence Entrance

The maître d's polished veneer cracked as Fang Bochao slammed his gold membership card on the host stand. "I demand the celestial suite!"

"Apologies, sir. That requires platinum—"

"Don't you know who my father supplies truffles to?!" Fang's threat died mid-snarl as twelve waiters materialized in synchronized formation, bowing at 45-degree angles toward Ye Chen.

The head sommelier stepped forward, cradling a dust-caked bottle like a holy relic. "Mr. Ye, your 1945 Château Mouton Rothschild is decanted. Shall we begin with the white Alba truffle risotto?"

Su Ning's stoic facade fractured—a 0.3mm eyebrow lift that sent the game's romance meter spiking:

Fang's BMW key fob slipped from trembling fingers. "That...that bottle costs more than my tuition!"

"Relax," Ye deadpanned, swirling the ¥1.2 million wine. "It's a tax write-off."

8:30 PM – Private Dining Suite

The walls shimmered with hand-embroidered silk depicting the Silk Road, each thread dipped in 24k gold. Zhang Wan Instagrammed her truffle-laced Wagyu while muttering, "Do you think Ye's single?"

"He's mine!" another girl hissed, adjusting her cleavage.

Su Ning observed the circus through her Louis Vuitton compact mirror. "Your fan club's multiplying."

"They'll disperse once the dessert cart rolls in," Ye replied, flicking a lab rat hair from his sleeve. "Sugar crashes are nature's crowd control."

10:15 PM – Hotel Lobby

The neon "Vacancy" sign flickered as Ye pushed through revolving doors, Su Ning's Chanel No. 5 trailing like a ghostly rebuke of budget motels.

"Two rooms," Ye told the night clerk, whose acne scars glowed under UV lighting.

The clerk's eyes darted between Ye's SF90 keys and Su's diamond-studded heels. "Uh...we've only got the honeymoon suite left."

A beat.

"It's got a jacuzzi," the clerk added with a wink that could've powered a small city.

10:27 PM – Elevator

Su Ning's reflection blurred in the mirrored walls. "I should've stayed for the soufflé."

"Regrets?" Ye jabbed the penthouse button.

"Only that I didn't screenshot Fang's face when they wheeled in the gold-leaf tiramisu."

The elevator lurched. Su stumbled into Ye, her elbow accidentally triggering the emergency stop.[Environmental Hazard]

"Your hair smells like...burnt caramel," Ye blurted.

"It's Moroccan oil, you philistine." @@novelbin@@

10:49 PM – Honeymoon Suite

The jacuzzi bubbled ominously. Zhao Shuxuan burst in clutching durian and a six-pack of Tsingtao. "I brought snacks!"

Su Ning eyed the spiked fruit warily. "Is this your idea of chaperoning?"

"What happens in suite 888 stays in suite 888." Shuxuan waggled her eyebrows. "Unless it goes viral."

11:30 PM – Balcony

The city skyline glittered like a motherboard. Ye's phone buzzed—a notification from Become a Billionaire on $500!:

[Congratulations! Net Worth Threshold Crossed]

Su Ning materialized beside him, her reflection fractured in the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Why the sudden real estate spree?"

"Tax evasion," Ye deadpanned.

"Try again."

"Fine." He pulled up the game's interface, its holographic glow painting her face cyan. "I'm playing a mobile game that prints money."

Su's laugh was a rare seismic event. "Addictive, is it?"

"Worse." Ye flicked to the store page. "It's giving me existential vertigo."
