God-Tier Get Rich System – CH194

Chapter 194: Virtual Reality

Mu Lantu and Xu Huazhang stayed at the Xu family’s residence for three nights. When they left, besides taking the two hundred million yuan Xu Shengming gave them, Mu Lantu also received a Longtian Hotel Supreme VIP card from Zhou Huili.

Only five of these Supreme VIP cards had ever been issued, meant solely for the family. Other than Xu Shengming, Zhou Huili, Xu Jinhui, and Xu Huazhang, only Mu Lantu had one. With this card, he could stay in any Longtian Hotel worldwide, at any room level—including the presidential suite—for free.

Even Jin Mingzhu didn’t have one; if she wanted such privileges, she could only use her husband’s card.

On the way to the airport, Mu Lantu rested his head on Xu Huazhang’s lap. “Uncle and Auntie don’t seem to like my sister-in-law much?”

They were riding in a Xu family car, and since the driver’s cabin was separated from the back, there was no worry about being overheard.

Xu Huazhang fed him some chilled fruit. “With the Xu family’s current status, we don’t need any political or corporate marriages. Our parents just want my brother to marry someone he loves and live happily. But my brother’s desire for power is too strong. He insisted on marrying the Jin family’s daughter, hoping to increase his weight in our parents’ eyes. The Jin family is a real estate giant, and Jin Mingzhu was carefully groomed by them. Once she married in, she immediately wanted to enter management—and my brother supported her. They’re both far too impatient.”

Mu Lantu frowned slightly. “Will they go down the wrong path?”

“In front of my parents, my brother and sister-in-law are like students before teachers. Whatever they’re plotting, my parents see through them.”

He didn’t spell it out, but in truth, their parents didn’t favor their eldest son much either. So far, the eldest and his wife hadn’t crossed any lines. But if they dared to take one step too far, Xu Shengming and Zhou Huili wouldn’t hesitate to cast out even their own son and daughter-in-law. Yes, the eldest son was the default heir, but as long as the head of the family remained, that heirship could be revoked at any time.

“Baby, do you still have any health and beauty medicine? Prepare some for Mom and Dad. I hope they live long lives.”

His scheming side only made Mu Lantu find him even cuter. “Yes, I have plenty.” With Xu Shengming and Zhou Huili suppressing things, Xu Jinhui and Jin Mingzhu wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble, ensuring that no one disturbed their comfortable life.

“I’ll send it over once I arrange a reliable channel,” Xu Huazhang mused.

Mu Lantu suggested, “We can also give each set of parents one of those protective charms we got from Infinite University.”

Before leaving Classroom 444, the two of them had spent all their gold coins, exchanging them for many items, stored inside 005’s system space.

At the time, Mu Lantu only wanted to take advantage of the system, never expecting he could actually bring those items back into the real world. But to his delight, everything had transferred successfully.

Xu Huazhang said, “Let’s hand-deliver them during the New Year holiday. It’ll be more sincere.”

Both families treated them very well in this life, and they were happy to repay with genuine affection.

Back in Haishang City, their cars had already been delivered ahead of them.

Mu Lantu’s silver Bugatti and Xu Huazhang’s black Silber, both worth tens of millions, caused a sensation when they pulled up at Dongkai University. High-definition photos of the cars—and their striking owners—flooded the campus forum.

With looks off the charts and an aura of being a couple, they instantly became celebrities on campus. Cameras followed them everywhere, until they resorted to wearing hats. Masks were avoided, as long wear hurt their ears.

In public, they kept things modest—holding hands or hugging at most. Students could take as many pictures as they wanted; once the novelty wore off, the craze would calm down.

They hadn’t brought luxury cars to show off but to prove their financial standing. In the early stages of building a business, they would need to run errands themselves, and powerful cars cleared the way of many hassles.

They registered Lantu Network Technology Group Co., Ltd. with a capital of four hundred million yuan.

Three months later, the world’s first virtual reality game, Infinite University, officially launched, causing a nationwide sensation. The names Mu Lantu and Xu Huazhang entered not only public consciousness but also the radar of national leadership.

Virtual reality technology, with its immersive 3D visuals, tactile sensations, and even scents, would not only transform gaming but also revolutionize fields like economy, culture, and the military.

The two quietly reached certain agreements with the government. With that backing, they poured themselves into game development. Within just a year, Lantu Technology became the leader of the gaming industry.

Novels, films, dramas, and comics based on Infinite University spread like wildfire. Wealth poured into their pockets like snow.

As promised, they gave each set of parents 5% of the company’s shares, and Mu Lantu also gave his brother Mu Zhanpeng an additional 1%.

Though 1% and 5% sounded small, with such a massive base, they amounted to astronomical figures.

Already an obsessive brother-lover, Mu Zhanpeng now doted on Mu Lantu even more—so much so that he let him name his firstborn son.

Meanwhile, their parents, once highly career-driven, now considered early retirement. With such filial sons and booming family businesses (Nie Yalan’s flower shops and Zhou Huili’s beauty salons), they finally allowed themselves to simply enjoy life.

Xu Jinhui, after witnessing his brother’s frightening abilities, gave up all petty schemes and focused solely on work. With a clear head, his competence improved, earning renewed trust from his parents, who even considered giving him management of the hotels. Truly, what he had once schemed for in vain came naturally when he stopped grasping for it.

Three days after distributing shares, Mu Lantu and Xu Huazhang gathered both families and confessed their relationship.

At that point, what was there not to understand? Their lavish gestures made it clear—they were determined to stay together.

Both sets of parents, open-minded to begin with, respected the other’s outstanding child. After a couple days of awkwardness, they accepted it as gaining another son.

And with that mindset, they fully experienced the joy of family.

Mu Lantu called Xu Huazhang’s parents weekly and visited them monthly. Xu Huazhang never forgot Mu Lantu’s parents’ birthdays or holidays, always sending thoughtful gifts. Both sets of parents were brimming with pride before outsiders.

At first, people in their social circle made snide remarks about their sons being gay. But as time passed, even the critics couldn’t keep their heads up. Their own children—if they didn’t street race, womanize, or sire illegitimate kids—were considered filial already. How could they compare to sons who handed over shares worth millions?

After graduation, Mu Lantu and Xu Huazhang held their wedding in China.

Yes, in China.

Though not legally recognized, so long as they and their families acknowledged it, it was enough.

By now, their combined net worth exceeded hundreds of millions. They donated over ten million annually to charity alone. No one dared say a word against them; even unscrupulous media wouldn’t risk a single false report.

As the saying goes—when you have wealth and status, everyone around you is a “good person.”

Mu Lantu hadn’t forgotten his “get-rich-through-acting” task. Since he didn’t want to be an actor in real life, he simply acted inside virtual reality games.

With custom avatars and pseudonyms, he and Xu Huazhang played the double male leads in a BL drama adaptation, Falling in Love at Infinite University. It skyrocketed in popularity, fulfilling his acting-riches requirement without disrupting real life.

They gained millions of CP fans. Over time, many suspected that “Tu Mu” and “Zhang Xu” were actually Mu Lantu and Xu Huazhang, but since they never admitted it, no one could prove it. Fans still collected evidence—similar speech, fashion, and even pet names (“Baby” and “Big Baby”)—and became increasingly convinced.

In the virtual entertainment world, Tu Mu Lantu and Zhang Xu Huazhang’s every joint appearance caused fan frenzies. The drama’s popularity lasted five years straight, with their CP fandom growing ever larger—a rare phenomenon in showbiz.

Once their wealth task was complete, they turned company management over to professionals. They spent a third of the year traveling with their parents around the world, and the rest enjoying their carefree two-person life.

They topped both China’s “Happiest People” ranking and the U.S.’s “Most Enviable People” list. Both lists referred to them jointly as “Lantu Huazhang.”

In China, a CP ranking list put “Lantu Huazhang” at the very top. They simply laughed it off.

One day, while driving their RV past a construction site, Mu Lantu suddenly said, “Big Baby, I want to learn how to drive an excavator.”

Remembering a dungeon at Infinite University, Xu Huazhang chuckled. “If you want to learn, then learn.”

That very day, CP fans discovered their idols had once again hit trending—“The Handsomest Excavator Drivers: Lantu Huazhang Learning Construction Machinery!”
