You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 488 What is work? I want to play games!

Afterwards, Tang Ping used his equipment to continue fighting the Skeleton Pirates and the Hai'an Giant Worm.
As soon as he donned the coveted "Demon Wings of Heaven," Tang Ping felt as if he had gained a whole new life! The black wings fluttered behind him, like a mighty demon descending to earth. Tang Ping's face was resolute, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and his entire body exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

"It's time to show you my true strength!" Tang Ping gritted his teeth, drew his sword and roared as he pounced on the heavily surrounded army of skeleton pirates.

As he pierced through the air, his black wings fluttered, and he flew out like a thunderous arrow! Tang Ping held a long sword, and the blade suddenly shone with black light. As his nimble figure moved, a dazzling beam of light was drawn through the air. The next moment, a pirate's head was tragically chopped off!
"Sizzle!" Blood splattered everywhere. Tang Ping paid no attention to it. He turned around in an instant and threw a powerful magical punch with his right hand, smashing into the chest of another pirate!
"Bang!" The pirate didn't even make a sound, and then he was shocked to spit out blood, and fell heavily to the ground a few meters away.

Tang Ping circled like a dragon, his black wings rustling and his body swaying like a swimming dragon. Each strike was powerful and ferocious! Powered by his wings and equipment, his agility was divine, and his strikes were so fierce that the pirates simply couldn't withstand them!
The pirates fled in panic, only to be met with Tang Ping's relentless pursuit the moment they turned. He drifted through the air like a black whirlwind, his body brimming with energy, granting him near-infinite strength. Tang Ping slashed with his sword, sending blood splattering everywhere the blade touched. The pirates caught in the blow screamed in agony, fleeing in terror.
The entire battlefield was in chaos, filled with the wailing of pirates. Tang Ping, however, seemed to be insolent and unbridled, as if he had taken osteoporosis medication! With a flap of his wings, he flew out like an arrow, colliding with a fleeing pirate in the distance! The poor fellow scrambled and rolled, but Tang Ping's flying knee in the air knocked him off his feet!
"Sizzle!" Accompanied by the pirate's painful screams, Tang Ping charged forward like a hurricane, his sword in hand like a torrential downpour, slashing fiercely at the poor creature with each blow. The creature had no time to resist. After a few rounds, the creature was covered in wounds and lay in tatters.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Ping had shifted his position, charging towards the remaining pirates with unstoppable force. He swung his longsword horizontally, slicing streaks of dazzling black light through the air. The black light blanketed the enemy and crushed them. Tang Ping, however, moved mysteriously through the black light, attacking every threat without turning back.
Soon, the pirate army was completely decimated, leaving them in a state of disarray. Even the leader was struck by a powerful knee strike from Tang Ping, pinning him to the ground, unable to even struggle.
Just as Tang Ping was feeling elated and preparing to kill the leader, a giant sea toad suddenly leaped out with a deafening roar! Tang Ping was startled and quickly rolled to avoid it, but was still hit by its venomous spray!
"Ah!" Tang Ping cried out in pain, instantly losing a lot of energy and blood. He staggered and his legs were weak, obviously because of the poison.

Haichan seized the opportunity and launched another attack at Tang Ping! Tang Ping could only block it with his sword, but he was also burned by the highly corrosive venom! Then, Haichan, with his eyes bloodshot, transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Tang Ping!
In a desperate situation, Tang Ping had no choice but to swing his sword with all his might! However, his poisoned body could not muster much strength at all. He was unable to block even the sea toad's attack and was hit hard!
Unexpectedly, at the beginning, because of the equipment and wings on my body, the fighting was very enjoyable, but after a while, I felt a little weak and powerless...

Tang Ping gritted his teeth and was about to continue recharging when the Internet cafe stopped operating.

When he looked at the time, it was already 1 a.m., so he had to go home and sleep.

The next day, Tang Ping immediately decided to take a leave and have a great day at home!
"Go to work? What kind of work is that? Playing games is the real thing!"

It was a rare day off, so Tang Ping decided not to go to the Internet cafe and just play at home. His goal was to earn 30 yuan!
"Greedy Red Moon, activate!"

Afterwards, the game opened a new feature "Metaphysical Mystical Realm"

On the secret realm gashapon interface, there are pictures of beautiful two-dimensional girls in various charming poses.
Tang Ping opened the game's new "Metaphysical Mystical Realm" interface and was immediately captivated by a vibrant, colorful scene. In the center of the screen was a massive, transparent crystal sphere, its interior shimmering with a rainbow of light, as if imbued with an infinite mystical power. Around it floated dozens of beautiful female spirits, each dressed in a variety of colorful battle attire.

Each of them had a stunning appearance, a graceful figure, and a unique demeanor. Tang Ping couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the spirits of these beautiful girls emitting a charming aura, and his eyes swept over them one by one.

The first thing that caught my eye was a slender, red-clad girl, wielding a steel-bladed spear. "Maple Snow Fox"—her fiery red hair fluttered in the wind, her green fox ears adorably shaped, and her emerald-like eyes shone with a captivating charm. The spear she wielded was covered in fierce dark red patterns, exuding a captivating aura.

Beside her, a young Death Maiden, clad in full black armor, gazed at Tang Ping with a slight nod. Her name was "Lord of the Dead Souls," and her face was stern and heroic, with long, jet-black hair flowing behind her. But her dark eyes shone with a captivating, bewitching aura. Tang Ping saw the dark greatsword in her hand, swirling with a dark red poisonous mist, and the blade emitted a sinister roar!
Looking to the side, a sweet-faced, voluptuous purple-haired girl stood among them, a charming and alluring smile on her delicate face. Tang Ping saw that she was called the "Nightmare Witch," and she wore a seductive, deep-V short gown that highlighted her impeccable figure. Her large green eyes occasionally flickered with a faint, cold gleam, revealing a powerful and dangerous side.

Besides this, Tang Ping's gaze swept over many other dazzling female spirits. For example, "Jinghui Lingchen," clad in a white angelic robe, her golden hair dancing in the wind, wielding a pair of feather-tipped earth-shaking divine swords, exudes an untouchable divine power. Then there's "Meaning Blade Shadow," clad in a sexy maid outfit. The faint glimpse of her thighs beneath her short skirt captivated Tang Ping. She wielded a strangely shaped sickle, its blade shrouded in a faint black mist, imbued with an eerie, menacing aura.

Dozens of these stunningly beautiful girls, each possessing unique skills, exude a captivating and distinctive aura. Some are cool and noble, some are lively and lovely, some are mature and charming, and some are shy and gentle. Each girl is surrounded by layers of aura, as if representing different elements and sources of power.

Seeing this alluring scene, Tang Ping couldn't help but be distracted, his blood boiling with temptation. He stared at those graceful figures and sexy faces, unable to control the urge to immediately embrace them and explore!
Just as he was lost in his reverie, a blinding light suddenly flashed from within the translucent crystal ball. Tang Ping couldn't help but shield his eyes with his arms. When the light faded, a brand-new, stunning young woman in red appeared at the center of the sphere, radiating an incomparable elegance.
"The Celestial Demon's Primordial Spirit—Wen Yun Hongyue!" the introduction displayed.

This spirit possesses stunning beauty, with fiery red hair dancing behind her and captivating emerald eyes. She is a truly unparalleled beauty! More importantly, her voluptuous figure showcases impeccable curves from almost every angle, making one's blood boil and their mouths dry. Her light, gauzy battle suit reveals her in every way, making her the very embodiment of a rice cake!
When Tang Ping saw it, his eyes widened.

"Oh, my wife in real life is not as good as the paper wife in the game!"

The comments were full of complaints: "Oh my god, these days everything can be feminized, even those scammy web games are playing the 2D game style?"

Looking at the group of stunningly beautiful 2D girl spirits, Tang Ping was immediately captivated by their captivating demeanor. His eyes wandered over their graceful figures and charming faces, almost driving him crazy.

"Oh my God, I have to summon them out quickly!" Tang Ping's fingers were shaking, and he couldn't wait to open the extraction interface.

A huge translucent crystal sphere appeared in the center of his field of vision, a mysterious, colorful light flickering within. Tang Ping swallowed his saliva and saw below the sphere the number of diamonds currently drawn—1888.

"1888 is an auspicious number. I'm sure I'll get something good!" Tang Ping gave himself a shot of confidence. He then pressed hard on the draw interface, and a series of ten consecutive draws began!
The water within the transparent sphere began to swirl, and the colorful light gradually condensed into projections. Accompanied by dreamy music, a group of translucent young girls' spirits gradually emerged from the sphere. Tang Ping followed closely, afraid to miss a single moment.

"Little fox! A golden little fox!" The first to appear was the fox-eared spirit named "Fengxue Spirit Fox." She turned charmingly and smiled sweetly at Tang Ping, revealing her pointed little fangs.

"So cute!" Tang Ping couldn't help but exclaim loudly, but was soon attracted by other characters that appeared in the sphere one after another.

A Valkyrie with ice-blue hair appeared next, wielding a sword in one hand and firing dazzling icy arrows with the other. Behind her, the languidly enchanting witch gently seduced Tang Ping with her alluring fingers. "Wow, what a breathtaking beauty!" Tang Ping said, covering his burning cheeks, mesmerized.

But at this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the center of the sphere, and a brand-new, stunningly beautiful girl appeared in his field of vision! Tang Ping's eyes lit up instantly, and upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the stunning Fire Demon Queen named "Wen Yun Hongyue"!
"This is the first prize!" Tang Ping looked at her enchanting figure, and a storm suddenly arose in his heart.

Wen Yun Hongyue was dressed in a gauzy gown that highlighted her incomparably stunning curves. Her fiery red hair swirled behind her like a blazing torch, and paired with her captivating eyes, she was an impeccable beauty! Not to mention her breasts that bulged beyond her clothes, and her long, smooth legs...

For a moment, Tang Ping's eyes widened, his mouth nearly watering. But soon, the beautiful girls in the crystal ball gradually vanished, replaced by a string of glittering lottery results.

"Gold...Gold...Gold...Huh?" Tang Ping was initially excited to see four pieces of gold equipment appear in a row. But soon, his eyes widened, staring intently at the column displaying "Wen Yun Hong Yue". It only had the word "Yao Jiao" clearly displayed on it!
"Impossible, how could it be Yao Jiao?!" Tang Ping was immediately enraged. He slammed the table, "How is this possible? I clearly saw her appear!"

Some people in the barrage also began to complain: "Wow, these days even the gacha games are using 2D characters, it really is a capitalist world!"

"There are endless ways to cheat people out of their krypton gold. I advise you to stop when you've had enough!"

"It's fine if there's no product, but you have to bring out some 2D girls? That's too much of a black eye!"

Seeing the screen full of doubts, Tang Ping became even more angry and angrily entered "5000" on the top-up interface. Without saying a word, several big hands entered in succession. But the scene that followed made him even more irritated...

The beautiful girls in the spheres slowly reappeared, turning gracefully or waving their hands coquettishly, captivating the soul. But the alluring and fiery "Red Moon" spirit was nowhere to be seen!
"Damn it, stop playing tricks!" Tang Ping gritted his teeth and began to press the lottery button violently, cursing like "Come out to me" and "Ship it out quickly" continuously uttered from his mouth.

Soon, his diamond reserves were depleted, and his bank account balance was almost gone. Even so, "Wen Yun Hong Yue" never appeared among the group of charming souls again. Instead, some extremely rare, small-time, two-star souls appeared from time to time.

"You're just a bunch of junk! Get out of here! I want Wen Yun Hong Yue!" Tang Ping roared, his face twisted into a mad, insane expression. He directed all his attacks at the group of beautiful young girls' souls, pressing the lottery button frantically at them!
The girls in the spheres immediately vanished as if startled after being pushed out. The lottery results area on the interface continuously scrolled and flashed the names of various scumbag souls.

"If you don't want to win, then don't win. Just top up and keep winning!"

Seeing his bank card empty, Tang Ping went into a frenzy. He pulled out his phone and applied for high-interest loans on loan apps, falling into a never-ending vicious cycle.

When he was on the verge of despair, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed from the sphere! Tang Ping was refreshed, and saw the gorgeous "Wen Yun Hongyue" soul appear before his eyes.

Her alluring figure was as if tangible, and her flaming red hair threatened to burn Tang Ping's retinas. Her seductive emerald eyes stared straight at him, and her charming red lips parted in a silent invitation.

"Oh my God, she finally showed up!" Tang Ping was going crazy and kept shouting.

Looking at her charming and lovely look, Tang Ping felt so tender in his heart that he wanted to hold her in his arms immediately! He almost instinctively reached out his hand, wanting to touch her delicate body and kiss her cherry lips.

But at that moment, a sudden flash of dazzling light flashed within the crystal ball, and Wen Yun Hongyue's alluring figure gradually vanished. Instead, her business card and attribute data quietly appeared before Tang Ping.

"Finally... I've got them all!" Looking at the wall of business cards filled with a dazzling array of illustrations, Tang Ping shouted to the sky, his inner excitement incomparable.

But after this ecstasy, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of emptiness. Tang Ping looked at his bank card balance; only a pitiful amount remained. Yet, the loan app showed a total outstanding balance of hundreds of thousands.

"What...did I do?" Tang Ping muttered to himself, and seemed to come to his senses in a moment.

He covered his face with his hands, feeling a wave of deep sorrow. This was clearly an illusory game world, yet he had paid such a heavy price for a few rendered pixelated images. His money was running low, and his future was undoubtedly in jeopardy.

Tang Ping sighed deeply, feeling a sense of helplessness and confusion he'd never experienced before. The group of beautiful 2D girls remained on the screen, alluring him with their enchanting figures and expressions. But at this moment, Tang Ping was left with only a sense of emptiness and a faint sadness.

"It doesn't matter. This game's equipment recycling process takes only a second. The money will be returned sooner or later... That's right!"
