The war had begun.
Li Zhen stood on the rooftop of Skyview Tower as the sun rose behind the glass skyline of Yuncheng, painting the city gold. But his eyes weren't on the sunrise — they were on the horizon.
Three cities.
Ten days.
He was going national.

Li Zhen smirked. "Let's set this country on fire."
Day 1 – Planning the Wildfire
Inside his penthouse, Li Zhen held a virtual conference with Wen Xiaoming (tech), Liu Man (luxury industry connections), and Chen Yue (legal strategy). A 3D map of China projected above the marble table, marked with blinking red pins.
"Three cities," Li Zhen said. "Shanghai. Beijing. Guangzhou. The Big Three."
Wen nodded. "Shanghai is the tech capital. Beijing gives you media exposure. Guangzhou dominates the fashion and import market. Nail those three, and the whole country follows."
Liu Man raised a brow. "How fast can your system scale?"
Li Zhen tapped his phone.

"In two hours, we go live," he said.
Day 2 – Shanghai: The Tech Hub
Li Zhen arrived in Shanghai via private jet. Dozens of tech bloggers, finance influencers, and lifestyle streamers were already waiting at the exclusive Live Wild Club event hosted in a rooftop lounge overlooking The Bund.
Li Zhen stepped onto the neon-lit stage and dropped the bomb:
"Starting today, the Live Wild Club app will offer Shanghai users cashback up to 80% on premium experiences — fashion, food, tech, and travel. You spend. We reward. The wild life begins now."
The crowd roared. Phones lit up. Influencers streamed live. Downloads exploded.

Day 4 – Beijing: The Power Seat
In Beijing, it wasn't about flash — it was about presence.
Li Zhen set up a formal press conference at a luxury media hotel, flanked by partners and legal advisors. Chen Yue spoke clearly to the press:
"The Live Wild Club is not a scam. It is a rewards ecosystem built on real partnerships, verified commerce, and strategic innovation. And yes, the government is monitoring it — because it works."
Then Li Zhen stepped forward.
"Everyone wants to live rich. But the truth is, wealth isn't only about money. It's about access. Choice. Freedom. That's what Live Wild stands for."
The room went silent. Then applause erupted.
Minutes later, Li Zhen was invited to a televised finance roundtable — aired to over 8 million viewers.

Day 6 – Guangzhou: The Style Frontier
Guangzhou was fast, flashy, and fashion-forward.
Li Zhen rented an entire shopping district for 24 hours.
Through Live Wild Club, every single brand in the plaza offered insane cashback deals: buy one get two free, 70% off, exclusive flash drops.
He invited celebrity models and top-tier vloggers to attend.
Photos. Livestreams. TikTok clones flooded with "Wild Day" reactions.
One video showed a girl buying a ¥3,000 designer coat, then getting ¥4,000 credited back instantly.
🗨️ "IS THIS EVEN REAL??"
🗨️ "I just got paid to shop??"
🗨️ "Li Zhen needs to be our president 💀💰"
By the time the sun set on Guangzhou, the streets were glowing not just with neon lights—but with the fire of a new movement sweeping across China.
Live Wild Club wasn't just an app anymore.
It was a revolution.
Thousands of shoppers, students, and influencers were uploading videos of their cashback rewards, exclusive access, and luxury experiences. "Live Wild" had become more than a phrase—it was a lifestyle.

His phone buzzed nonstop.

Su Qian, who had flown in for the final leg of the campaign, stood beside him. She looked at him not with awe, but with something deeper—respect.
"You really pulled it off," she said softly.
He turned to her, his eyes steady. "I told you. This wasn't just about money. It's about rewriting the rules."
She nodded. "They're calling you China's Youngest Tycoon on every major outlet. Even international media is picking it up."
Li Zhen's lips curled into a slight smirk. "Good. Let the world know."
Back in Yuncheng — WeiCorp Executive Suite
Fang Wei slammed his glass on the marble desk.
"He's expanding too fast. The system must be giving him something beyond money."
Chen Hao leaned against the desk, eyes narrowed.
"We can't fight him like this. He's gaining favor with the media, the people, and the markets. Even the regulators are backing off."
Fang's eyes burned with rage. "Then we'll hit him where he's weakest."
Chen Hao raised an eyebrow. "Where's that?"
Fang leaned forward slowly. "His heart."
Meanwhile, Li Zhen returned to Yuncheng
The airport was swarming with fans, journalists, and camera crews.
He waved once, casually, and the entire crowd cheered. Cameras flashed. Microphones pointed toward him.
"Mr. Li! Are you launching internationally?"
"Will Live Wild Club go public?"
"Are you dating anyone?"
He only answered one question.
"Li Zhen, how did you rise from being a poor student to a national icon?"
He paused. Looked into the camera.
"I was given nothing. So I risked everything.
I lost love. I lost friends.
But what I gained... was the freedom to never beg again."
That quote alone trended for 48 hours.
People across the country began posting their own "Live Wild" stories.
🗨️ "I left my 9-5 job and started my own thing. #LiveWild"
🗨️ "Broke up with my toxic ex. Took a solo trip. #LiveWild"
🗨️ "Used the app and got cashback on a hotel I never thought I could afford."
The wildfire had spread.
That night, back at the penthouse, Li Zhen stared at the new system panel.

He chuckled softly. "So... the world's next."
But before he could strategize, his phone buzzed again — an anonymous message with a video file.
He opened it.
The screen showed Su Qian being followed by two men in black suits near the university library.
Then a voiceover:
"You've made too many enemies, Li Zhen. People around you will pay the price.
Back down. Or watch your empire fall... one life at a time."

And I'll burn anyone who tries to touch it."
