The alarm clock's shrill ring pierced through Tang Ping's dream, like a sharp blade attempting to sever his connection with the dream world. However, Tang Ping kept his eyes tightly shut, doing his best to grasp onto the fragments of the dream that were about to dissipate.
His consciousness wavered between reality and dream, but he resolutely chose to remain in the dream, for it held the glory and achievements he had long yearned for.
The dream continued to unfold, like a vibrant painting slowly unfurling before his eyes.
The scene shifted to a white palace. Inside an office, sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, gilding the entire room with a golden glow. Behind a desk, the Commander-in-Chief sat upright, his signature golden hair particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open violently, and a secretary in a dark suit rushed in, flustered. Fine beads of sweat dotted his forehead, and he was breathing rapidly, clearly having run all the way.
"Mr. Trump!" the secretary said breathlessly, "Breaking news! Tang Ping, that Hua country player, has officially been inaugurated as the City Lord of the Imperial City!"
Upon hearing this news, the Commander-in-Chief shot up from his chair, slamming his hands heavily on the oak desk with a loud "bang." The documents and pen holder on the desk jumped.
"Why didn't you say so earlier about something so important!" The Commander-in-Chief's face flushed red, his eyes flashing with excitement and anxiety. He strode to the secretary and grabbed his shoulders, "Quickly arrange a private plane for me, I want to meet this player in person!"
The secretary was startled by the Commander-in-Chief's reaction but quickly nodded in agreement. He turned and hurried away to arrange the Commander-in-Chief's private plane. The Commander-in-Chief stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky, already conceiving how to establish an alliance with this newly appointed "City Lord of the Imperial City."
The scene shifted again, and Tang Ping found himself in an upscale restaurant. The light from the crystal chandeliers spilled onto the snow-white tablecloths, surrounded by softly conversing people. However, this elegant atmosphere was shattered by the scene before him.
In a corner of the restaurant, Tang Ping saw Xiao Li, the blind date who had once looked down on him. She was wearing an expensive designer dress, her makeup was exquisite, but her face wore a mocking smile.
"You can't even come up with 300,000, what makes you think you're worthy of meeting me?" Xiao Li said coldly, her voice full of contempt, "Get lost, you good-for-nothing."
Tang Ping felt a surge of anger, but before he could speak, a man in an expensive suit with striking golden hair walked over and put his arm around Xiao Li's waist.
"My dear Xiao Li," the golden-haired man said in a nauseatingly sweet tone, "This kind of loser isn't even fit to shine your shoes!"
Xiao Li leaned into the golden-haired man's arms, looking at Tang Ping with a provocative gaze: "Tang Ping, you should leave. I've decided to marry Young Master Zhang. Young Master Zhang is all-powerful and resourceful, far better than you."
Tang Ping clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms. He tried to control his emotions, but the anger and humiliation churned in his chest like molten lava.
"You'll regret this!" Tang Ping said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with suppressed anger and firm determination.
Just then, Tang Ping felt a strong sense of dizziness. The dream began to blur, and the surrounding scenery twisted and deformed like a stirred watercolor painting. He desperately wanted to hold onto the dream, but the gravity of the real world seemed to be pulling him back.
…
Just as Tang Ping's fist gradually clenched, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the restaurant. On the street, a gleaming black stretch Lincoln slowly drove up, the gilded emblem of the beautiful country of America shining brightly in the sun. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, suited bodyguards poured out, forming a human wall around it.
One of the bodyguards raised a loudspeaker and announced in a loud voice: "The Commander-in-Chief of the beautiful country of America has arrived!"
This sudden scene stunned everyone in the restaurant. Young Master Zhang's face instantly turned pale, and his previously arrogant posture vanished without a trace. He frantically straightened his suit, stumbling towards the door.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, forgive me for failing to greet you properly." Young Master Zhang bowed deeply, his voice trembling noticeably.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Commander-in-Chief did not acknowledge Young Master Zhang after getting out of the car. His signature golden hair shone in the sun, and his face wore a disdainful expression. Suddenly, he waved his right hand, and a heavy punch landed directly on Young Master Zhang's face.
With a "bang!", Young Master Zhang fell to the ground. He covered his mouth, blood seeping through his fingers, and several of his front teeth fell to the ground along with the bloody foam. The surrounding people gasped and stared at the scene in disbelief.
The Commander-in-Chief shook his fist, a satisfied smile on his face. Then, he walked straight to Tang Ping, completely ignoring Young Master Zhang, who was still groaning in pain on the ground.
To everyone's astonishment, the Commander-in-Chief walked behind Tang Ping and actually knelt on one knee, placing his right hand on his chest in a standard knight's salute. He looked up at Tang Ping and said in a respectful tone: "Your humble servant, Commander-in-Chief, welcomes the City Lord of the Imperial City!"
This scene exploded in the restaurant like a bombshell. Everyone's eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing. Young Master Zhang struggled to his feet, still spitting blood and broken teeth. Xiao Li was completely stunned, her carefully applied makeup somewhat distorted by surprise.
"So you're the City Lord of the Imperial City?!" Young Master Zhang and Xiao Li exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with shock and fear.
Tang Ping slowly turned around, facing the stunned crowd. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a confident and slightly wicked smile, a smile that reminded people of the "Crooked Mouth Dragon King" meme circulating on the internet.
"Alright, I won't pretend anymore," Tang Ping said with a hint of teasing in his voice, "I'm laying my cards on the table."
This sentence echoed in the restaurant like a thunderclap.
Young Master Zhang and Xiao Li's faces instantly turned ashen, as if all the blood had been drained from them. They realized that they had just humiliated not an ordinary person, but a big shot to whom even the Commander-in-Chief of the beautiful country of America had to kneel.
The Commander-in-Chief stood up, patted Tang Ping on the shoulder, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord City Lord, we have a private plane ready and can depart for the White Palace at any time. Would you like to leave now, or...?"
Tang Ping gently shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Young Master Zhang and Xiao Li, his smile deepening: "No rush, how about we have a meal here first? I think some people here might have a lot of interesting stories to tell."
Upon hearing this, the two opposite him turned even paler, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads. They knew that their fate was now completely in the hands of the man they had once despised.
…
Ding ling ling ling ling…
The alarm clock sounded again, inappropriately.
The game popped up with the final ending screen:
"Whether this scene is a dream or reality all depends on your interpretation"
The viewers in the live broadcast room felt that in addition to the lingering aftertaste, they began to argue about whether the final scene was a dream.
As the game's ending screen appeared, the live broadcast room's barrage instantly exploded. Viewers began to discuss and debate this endlessly evocative ending.
"This is definitely a dream!" a viewer with the ID "Rationalist123" took the lead, "Don't forget, the main city streets were already empty in the later stages of the game. Where were all the previous players? It's clearly illogical."
"Dream my ass!" another viewer named "Refreshing Novel Lover" immediately retorted, "Such a wonderful ending, of course it's real! Tang Ping has finally made a name for himself, we've been waiting for this moment for how long?"
The barrage scrolled rapidly, with players supporting both viewpoints arguing their own cases.
"But the Commander-in-Chief appearing is too outrageous, isn't it? Isn't this clearly a dream?" a viewer with the ID "Common Sense Guardian" countered.
"Have you ever thought," a viewer called "Philosophical Thinker" interjected, "Perhaps the entire game is Tang Ping's dream? From beginning to end."
This view immediately sparked a new round of heated discussion.
"I think the key is the last sentence 'Whether this scene is a dream or reality all depends on your interpretation'," a viewer named "Detail Controller" said, "The game production team is telling us that the answer doesn't matter, what matters is our own understanding and feelings."
"That's right!" another viewer called "Nostalgic Party" echoed, "Regardless of whether it's a dream or not, the important thing is that Tang Ping finally got his equipment back and the money arrived in seconds, slapped Xiao Li in the face, we enjoyed it! That's the meaning of the game."
The debate continued to escalate, but it seemed that a unified conclusion could never be reached. Some began to discuss the game's production philosophy, while others began to imagine possible sequel storylines.
Finally, a comment from a viewer named "Rational Speech" was endorsed by many: "Perhaps this ambiguous ending is precisely the charm of the game. It allows each of us to have our own understanding and our own favorite ending. Isn't this what a good game should do?"
With the emergence of this view, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room gradually calmed down. Although the debate continued, more viewers began to share their experiences and feelings in the game, and the focus of discussion shifted from the single ending to the entire game experience.
…
After ending the live stream of "Cash-Grabbing Simulation: Laid-Back Life," the streamer Happy Wanderer immediately posted a lengthy dynamic on social media, giving the game high praise—
"My fellow old-timers, I must say that "Cash-Grabbing Simulation: Laid-Back Life" is one of the most interesting games I've played in recent years. This game has reached an amazing level in many aspects.
First of all, the game's picture quality is simply stunning. Although it is a legendary cash-grabbing game simulation, every scene is meticulously designed and full of details. From the protagonist Tang Ping's cramped rental house to the bustling city streets to the final imperial city, every place is lifelike, making people feel like they are there.
The storyline is even more captivating. The protagonist Tang Ping's journey from an ordinary social animal to becoming the all-powerful City Lord of the Imperial City is full of ups and downs, making it impossible to stop. Especially the design of the ending, leaving room for imagination, allows each of us to have our own understanding, this kind of open-ended ending is really great.
The game's gameplay is also very novel. It simulates various situations in real life, from work and love to investment and financial management, every choice will affect the character's future.
Of course, there's also my favorite SPA!
This high degree of freedom in gameplay allows each player to create a unique gaming experience.
The system design is also very clever, especially the cash-grabbing system. It not only simulates the various temptations in reality, but also cleverly sets up various traps, allowing players to experience the ups and downs of life in the process of cash-grabbing.
The newest novels are first published at Six Nine Book Bar!
The music is also a highlight. The soundtrack is sometimes light and cheerful, sometimes heavy and depressing, perfectly complementing the game's plot development and enhancing the player's sense of immersion.
But, I think the greatest value of this game lies in its practical significance.
Through the protagonist Tang Ping's experience, the game profoundly reveals the dangers of blindly cash-grabbing. We see that every impulsive cash-grab can lead to disastrous consequences. The game tells us that success is not based on luck and shortcuts, but requires effort and wisdom.
In general, "Cash-Grabbing Simulation: Laid-Back Life" is not only an excellent game, but also a mirror, reflecting the lifestyles and values of many cash-grabbing big shots.
At least I think that there is no real "cash-grabbing" shortcut in life, only by being down-to-earth can we realize our dreams.
Finally, I want to express my respect to the game's development team. You have created a work that is both interesting and meaningful, and I hope to see more such excellent domestic games in the future!"
This dynamic, once published, immediately caused widespread discussion and forwarding. Many players expressed their agreement and shared their feelings in the game!
…
Below this dynamic, many players expressed their amazement, praising Peach Blossom Village for being awesome!
"Damn, Peach Blossom Village is really awesome this time! This game has simply made me understand my life!"
"Teacher Sanren is right! That cash-grabbing system is designed so well, it almost tricked my wallet empty hahaha"
"Brothers, I think I've realized it! Blind dates are really not the way out, I want to be a new person!"
"I have to say, the plot of going to the pawnshop to sell things in the game made me laugh to death, it's so real!"
"My favorite is the old legendary screen, it looks retro but full of details, it's amazing!"
"Old-timers, I think the last ending is simply a stroke of genius, is it a dream or not?"
"Peach Blossom Village's wave of operations is too slick, it plays with social hotspots, I admire it!"
"Teacher Sanren is right, this game is simply a real-life simulator, it's so real!"
"What I like the most are the memes in the game, each one is funnier than the last, it's killing me!"
"I just want to ask, is Peach Blossom Village hiring? I love this game so much, I want to go there to serve them tea and water!"
"Teacher Sanren, please play the second week! I've already started fantasizing about the sequel's plot, I can't stop!"
Soon, live stream clips of the streamer playing the game started to become popular,

……
As the popularity of 'Gacha Simulator: Laid-Back Life' continues to surge, the game's buying frenzy has also arrived, creating a scene of utter madness.
The game's official website has become the main battlefield for players. Every morning at 10 a.m., the official website opens the purchase channel on time, but each time it is snapped up in just a few minutes. Some players even stay up all night in front of their computers just to grab their favorite game as soon as possible. The website server frequently crashes under the huge volume of traffic, and the technical team has to work day and night to maintain system stability.
Some tech experts have begun to write purchase scripts, using the program's high-speed response to increase the probability of winning. These scripts are widely circulated among players, and there is even a dedicated script trading market. Some players are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a script that is said to be "100% effective."
Group buying mode has also emerged. A large number of group buying groups have appeared on various game forums and social media, where players band together, hoping to increase the success rate of purchases through collective power. Some influential internet celebrities have even organized super group buying groups of tens of thousands of people, claiming that they can directly connect with the official and obtain priority purchase rights.
Scalpers have also smelled business opportunities and have begun to hoard a large number of games. They use various means to snap up a large number of games, and then resell them at high prices on the second-hand market. For a time, the second-hand price of the game has been炒到了 several times the original price, but even so, a large number of players are still willing to buy it.
Some game collection大佬 are even more generous, snapping up dozens of sets of games at a time. They not only play by themselves, but also collect multiple versions, including various limited editions, collector's editions, etc. Some collectors even vowed to collect versions issued in every country in the world, triggering a "collection competition."
Offline physical stores have also not escaped this buying frenzy. Whenever new goods arrive in the store, a long queue forms at the door. Some players even start queuing a day in advance, just to be the first to rush into the store. In order to maintain order, some stores have to limit the number of purchases per person and arrange security to maintain order on the scene.
On social media, "I got it" has become a symbol of showing off. Those players who successfully purchased the game can't wait to post screenshots of their successful purchases, attracting a flurry of envious and jealous comments. At the same time, those who did not grab it vent their frustration and dissatisfaction on various platforms.
Even some ridiculous scenes have appeared: some company employees excused themselves for being sick and asked for leave, but in fact they were guarding their computers at home to snap up the game; some students skipped class to run to physical stores to queue up; and some couples had quarrels because one party secretly spent a lot of money to buy the game from scalpers.
The 'Gacha Simulator: Laid-Back Life' buying frenzy has become a nationwide carnival!
