Twelve years later...

On a hot summer afternoon, a person with distinct eyes lounges on a deck chair beneath the shade of a tree. A cat rests on his lap, its tail gently swaying, indicating it's not fully asleep. The two beings peacefully doze off, allowing the natural breeze to cool them as leaves intermittently fall. The day passes slowly, evoking a sense of comfort and ease.

The person's chest moves up and down in a slow rhythm as he snores lightly, his head adorned with thick, wavy black hair that is longer than what is typically seen on men, yet has an effortless quality to it, appearing slightly unkempt but still well-maintained, adding to his relaxed and laid-back vibe.

At first glance, he may seem unremarkable, blending into the crowd with his unassuming features. But when his eyes open, they draw you in with their captivating power and reveal the depth of his soul. The moles beside his left eye and lip only add to his unique beauty, making him unforgettable. Yet, when his eyes are closed and his features concealed, he exudes a sense of calm normalcy that belies the intensity within.

It is akin to the universe, where its beauty is hidden beyond the truth of its entirety.

The man's appearance invites the attention of young maidens, who can't resist the urge to playfully adorn him with flowers as he sleeps. Despite their attempts to stifle their giggles, the girls can't contain their glee, adding to the rarefied warmth surrounding the man. It's as if the simple act of beautifying him brings out the best in people and makes them instinctively drawn to him.

The person in question is none other than the background character, Jin Wei.

Once a mere extra in the background, this unassuming character has since ascended to dizzying heights, transforming from a penniless transmigrator to a wealthy one. Today, he boasts billions in assets spread across the world and has emerged as a key player in the world economy, leaving many to wonder at the sheer magnitude of his success.

This lazy young man had become a filthy rich bastard!

To those beyond the fourth wall, it may seem incongruous that a mere mob character could wield such immense power over the world's economy. They might wonder, "How could this be? Isn't he just a mere mob character? And yet, with a mere flick of his hand is enough to destroy the world. This is a contradiction to his character setting, right?"

While it may seem as though Jin Wei's staggering wealth and influence would make him a central figure in the world's affairs, it's important to remember that this is a land of fantasy and magic, not business and economics. As the plot revolves around the hero's journey to godhood, Jin Wei's power and wealth remain largely tangential to the center of the story.

If his character were ever to be mentioned, it would likely be in passing, relegated to the role of a nameless billionaire, briefly noted in a hundred-chapter book. Thus, despite his impressive status, Jin Wei's significance in this world is ultimately dwarfed by the grandeur of the tale being told.

Anyway, Jin Wei's story of success is enough to put everyone in envy.

His loyal subordinates and employees bore witness to the countless struggles and risks he endured to reach the pinnacle of success. He paid dearly for every inch of progress, and now, his immense wealth and power serve as a testament to the sacrifices he made along the way.

Of course, many still doubted his ability to lead at first.

After all, how could a mere ten-year-old, no matter how precocious and cunning, truly grasp the complexities of the world around him? To many, he was still a greenhorn, an inexperienced novice unprepared for the weighty responsibilities of saving lives. It is normal that things might not end well.
