2: Chapter 2: What comes after thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, trillions, and trillions?

The scene went quiet for a second, then immediately exploded into chaos.

"Holy sh*t! Three 7s!"

"Could this be the grand prize?"

"Those 26 empty pulls before were definitely just setup!"

Just then, a system notification popped up in front of Qin Zhe:

[Congratulations on winning the grand prize!]

[Reward: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... (10 to the power of infinity) Crystals]

[Please be sure to read the terms of use... (Expand for details)]

[Obtained Title: "The Luckiest Man in the otherworld"]

He couldn't help but rub his eyes—although doing so in virtual reality was useless.

The content on the screen still hadn't changed.

He really had won the grand prize.

But what is up with this number?

He squinted and started counting the units one by one:

Thousand, ten thousand, hundred million, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion... what comes after that again?

It didn't matter; anyway, there were over forty zeros in total.

You have to know, the currency unit "Crystals" in "otherworld" is equivalent to real-world currency, where 1 Crystal = 1 Yuan.

In other words, his account now had a sum—which could almost be called "infinite"—of cash stored.

This was the ultimate dopamine hit he had never experienced in his two years of gaming.

But he forced himself to suppress his excitement; he couldn't get happy too early.

Although this game was famous for its stability, it was hard to guarantee that today wasn't the first time a bug had occurred.

He immediately opened the shop interface to check his account balance.

[Account Balance: ...0,000,000,007,630 Crystals]

"...Wait, what is this?"

The balance should have been "7,630", but there was a long string of "0"s in front of it.

Suspecting a display error, he tried to purchase a gift pack priced at 8888.

[Do you want to use 8888 Crystals to purchase the gift pack?]

After clicking [Confirm], the system popped up:

[Purchase successful, please check your warehouse.]

[Remaining Balance: ...9,999,999,998,742 Crystals]

This wasn't a display error; the number was just too long. All of this was real.

"Holy sh*t! Calm down! Let's see if I can cash this out."

As long as he carefully and unobtrusively converted Crystals into gold coins, it might be possible to get rich through the game.

As long as he didn't crash the game's economy, the officials wouldn't meddle.

He immediately opened the currency exchange and tried to convert 10,000 gold coins—10,000 gold coins equaled 5,000 Yuan.

System prompt:

[This exchange requires 5,000 Crystals, do you confirm?]

He decisively clicked confirm—

"Ding."

It wasn't the success sound effect, but the transaction failure prompt sound.

[Player-to-player trading is currently unavailable.]

He was stunned and tried again.

The result was still the same prompt.

He kept clicking, but trading, auctioning, gifting, the mail system... all returned errors.

Cold sweat slid down his back.

"What is going on...?"

He immediately pulled up the system logs to check the prize winning information—

After clicking [Expand for details], the page popped up:

[When using the grand prize reward, all player trading functions will be permanently restricted.]

Restricted content includes:

Direct exchange between players

Mail system

Auction house

Currency exchange

Gift function

Indirect trading via dropping and picking up items

The moment he finished reading, Qin Zhe couldn't help but blurt out:

"Dev team, you f*cking @#￥%&* aaaaaahhh—!!!"
