Chapter 19 China Has the Largest Highway Network on the Planet

【Your bank card ending in 1890 has received a deposit of 1,900,000 yuan. Current balance: 3,252,389 yuan.】

Over three million!

And in such a short amount of ti!

At that mont, a knock sounded at the door. Lin Ming opened it to see a chubby man with a big grin standing outside.

As mories surfaced, he imdiately recognized the man—his best friend, Gao Yi. Perhaps because he had inherited the original host’s mories, Lin Ming felt a natural fondness for this chubby guy.

“I knew you’d be starving again, so I brought you a rice bowl. Eat up,” Gao Yi said.

Lin Ming felt touched but still kept up his tough front.

“You fatso, do I look like soone who can’t afford a al?”

Despite his words, his body reacted honestly—he grabbed the rice bowl and started wolfing it down. As Gao Yi casually glanced around, his eyes landed on Lin Ming’s phone sitting on the table.

A second later, he let out a pig-like squeal.

“Holy crap, Lin Ming! Did you rob a bank?”

His chubby fingers trembled as he counted the digits on the screen. It took him a while before he stamred, “Th-Three… Three million!”

He stared at Lin Ming in disbelief.

This guy had grown up in an orphanage, with no parents, no wealth—practically on the brink of rebellion due to poverty.

Could he really have done sothing illegal?

Lin Ming swallowed his food and replied, “I won the lottery.”

If he told people he got the money from watching videos, no one would believe him. So, the mont he received the deposit notification, he had already planned his explanation for those around him.

Gao Yi took a mont to process before his small eyes narrowed into slits.

“Kid, I’m gonna milk you for all you’re worth this ti!”

Lin Ming waved a hand grandly.

“Go ahead, pick whatever you want!”

“I’ll take the deluxe pork knuckle rice downstairs! And then I wanna go to Dreamland Spa—I heard the ladies there are stunning!”

Lin Ming rolled his eyes.

“I thought you were going to ask for a feast fit for a king or go on a date with a celebrity.”

“Then I want a state banquet, with the Four Hottest Actresses in the industry! One giving a foot massage, another rubbing my shoulders, one feeding grapes, and the last one dancing for .”

“Get lost!”

Lin Ming kicked the chubby guy on the butt. An hour later, as they stepped out, Lin Ming’s phone suddenly lit up with a familiar notification.

“Lin Ming, I forgive you. You can keep chasing now.”

The sender’s na was “Mu Bao’er.”

Lin Ming instantly realized—wasn’t this Mu Qianqian?

Damn, he had forgotten she had a secondary account. Should’ve blocked them both earlier.

Without hesitation, he hit “Block.”

“I refuse to be a simp.”

anwhile, Mu Qianqian stared at her screen, her ssage unable to be sent. She froze for a mont, then her big, expressive eyes welled up with tears. She bit her lip in frustration.

“That Lin Ming! How ungrateful!”

Her best friend, Zhi ngng, noticed her reaction and asked, “Qianqian, what’s wrong?”

“Gao Yi told Lin Ming is actually a rich second-generation heir. So, I generously gave him another chance to pursue . He should be grateful! Instead, he dares to play hard to get? He’s changed for the worse!”

Zhi ngng: “…”

Unwilling to give up, Mu Qianqian tried adding Lin Ming again.

“The other party has declined your friend request.”

Frustrated, she huffed, “Fine! Don’t even think about chasing again! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance! You’ll regret this!”

On the other side, Lin Ming was watching videos as he walked with Gao Yi. He had noticed Mu Qianqian’s ssage earlier, but he genuinely had no interest in her anymore.

He had been reborn—who the hell had ti for romance?

Making money was way more satisfying!

With enough cash, even top-tier celebrities were within reach!

Just then, he noticed sothing new in the Eternal Connection app.

【Ding! With 1,000 points or more, bullet comnts are now unlocked.】

Bullet Comnts.

In the skies above various historical eras, the paused video resud. People across different ti periods had been debating—what exactly was a highway?

Emperor Qin Shi Huang gazed at the floating screen and mused, Wherever people go, roads follow? Could this ‘highway’ be similar to our official roads?

Pri Minister Li Si nodded.

“Your Majesty is wise. I believe this highway concept is akin to our imperial roads. It appears that Your Majesty’s governance has influenced future generations.”

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand dismissively. “Our official roads are still limited—we can’t possibly have them everywhere. Future generations will surpass us in wisdom. Let’s see what these highways truly are.”

“This music is so grand—it reminds of our warriors conquering the six kingdoms!”

General ng Tian clenched his fists, feeling his blood boil at the epic soundtrack. Just then, the video began playing.

【China possesses the largest highway network on this planet.】

【Over 200 million vehicles traverse China’s highways, transporting 15 billion passengers and 33.6 billion tons of goods annually.】

【Even now, this massive road network continues to expand, fueling China’s rapid economic growth.】
