World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 61: Measly Generational Wealth
Chapter 61: Measly Generational Wealth
James leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the numbers displayed on his Info Screen.
$107.6 million in cash. Networth exceeding a combined total of $1 billion. $96.9 million in rebate-eligible funds.
This level of wealth was something he had never imagined himself having — not even in his wildest dreams. The sheer surrealness of it left him in a state of quiet disbelief.
"How long has it even been since I got the system?" James asked himself, rubbing his chin.
He mentally counted the days. Just a little over a week!
In only a week, he had gone from having less than $1,000 to being one of the richest individuals on the planet. And the craziest thing about this is that nobody knows his name.
"This feels too unreal..."
Despite everything, James couldn’t shake the creeping thought that something this good might not last.
Was it normal to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in a week? Wasn’t he just getting too lucky? What if all of this suddenly stopped? What if the system somehow disappeared?
"No. That’s impossible," he shook his head.
The system had changed his life too drastically for it to just vanish one day. He wouldn’t allow it — not that he would be to anything about it if it’s to happen.
James sighed deeply, as he leaned back on the chair.
There was no doubt that he had escaped poverty permanently, as he has acquired what people will call generational wealth — the kind of money that could sustain his descendants for centuries if managed properly.
"Even most Fortune 500 CEOs don’t make this much in a lifetime."
And the best part? Nobody even knew he existed. No interviews, no public attention, no one trying to hunt him down for his wealth. No fake people being attracted to him because of his wealth.
"That’s how I want to keep it."
James wasn’t interested in fame or recognition. He had seen far too many stories of lottery winners and overnight billionaires losing everything due to public exposure and getting involved with the wrong type of people. And he wasn’t going to make that mistake.
But as much as James enjoyed the fortune the system had brought him, he couldn’t ignore one frustrating issue.
The locked system store.
He needed 10,000 system points to unlock it, and right now, he only had zero.
The current mission would give him 3,000 system points upon completion, but that will still leave him with 7,000 short.
James sighed heavily, rubbing his temples.
"At this rate, it’ll take me months before I even come close to unlocking the system store," He said, as he stared at his balance again.
"$96.9 million in rebate-eligible funds. That’s a ridiculous amount of money."
But it wasn’t even close to what he needs by 1%. James intention is to spend the money purchasing system points, get rebate on it, according to a rough calculation he just did, 30%, which is equivalent to $290 million.
$290 million was an absolutely insane amount of money, but compared to the cost of system points, it was very measly.
But it won’t be enough. If he hoes goes ahead with his plans, he will have 316 system points after everything is done. And considering that James has to spend a whopping sum of $316 million, one could understand what he wad feeling.
"This is insane. Even with all this money, I’m still nowhere near the goal."
James sighed deeply in frustration.
"I need to find a way to earn system points faster."
He wasn’t even entirely sure what was inside the system store, but if it was locked behind such a ridiculous cost, then it had to contain something valuable beyond imagination. Right?
Because there’s no way the system would make it this difficult for something insignificant.
James let out another sigh as his thoughts drifted toward his stats.
He remembered that he didn’t exactly feel any different after increasing his strength the last time, and he understood the reason for that.
Sure, he might be vaguely stronger than before, but not in a way that mattered right now.
But he was in no rush to increase his strength as he has no enemy — no real enemy.
His only enemy right now was Brian McCullen, and Brian is nothing more than a joke.
James had zero doubts that he could flatten Brian if it ever came down to a physical fight. He has done it before and so, he doesn’t need to increase his stats for that.
It would had been different if James was living a dangerous lifestyle or in a dangerous world. Increasing his strength would be his priority, but not for the current him.
"I’ll leave that for later."
Right now, his focus was on building his wealth and unlocking the system store.
James pushed himself up from his chair.
"Let’s do something productive at least."
Since he now had unbelievable amounts of money, it was only fair that he showed some appreciation to the person who helped him get here — his only friend, Ralph.
"Ralph has done so much for me. I need to get him something."
James knew Ralph won’t accept money. One can call it pride but Ralph has always had the habit of not accepting direct monetary gifts from others.
But James feels that a car would be completely different."
James smirked as he grabbed his phone, and just as he unlocked his phone, it started ringing.
James frowned, glancing at the screen.
[Unknown Number]
He debated ignoring it, but curiosity got the better of him and he ended up picking up the call.
"Hello?"
A calm, authoritative voice spoke on the other end.
"Good morning, Mr. James. I am the branch manager at the bank where your account is registered. I’m calling to inform you that we have some customized investment plans for esteemed clients like yourself. Would you be interested?"
James narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Investment plans, huh?"
This was the first time his bank had ever contacted him directly, and it wasn’t surprising.
James’ bank account now has a massive deposit amounts of money, and banks always paid attention when someone suddenly became extremely wealthy.
"They probably want me to invest with them so they can use my money to make more money for themselves."
Still, James wasn’t completely against the idea but he wasn’t going to take the offer.
He was creating the offshore trust holding company for a reason and if he’s to accept the investment offer, the offshore holding company would become useless.
"I’m sorry but I’m not interested."
