After the celebration, Yezi immediately made a video call to her parents and Tongtong to let them know that she was back.

Hearing that Ye Zi had returned safely, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Before they set off, Ye Zi only said that it was a cold weapon competition, but she did not mention that it would be broadcast live on the dark web, nor did she tell them how to log in to the dark web.

This competition was the shortest ever, taking less than half a month from start to finish.

But for their families, any competition is inherently dangerous, and danger means they will be constantly worried.

It was a life-or-death battle, and Ye Zi didn't want her family to be on edge watching the live broadcast; leaving some room for imagination was more appropriate.

When Ye Zi left the brink of death, she received the key to her new residence. Although the formalities were not yet completed, she could move in without any problems.

Moreover, the house is fully furnished, and the fact that it's ready for immediate move-in raises questions about the hospital's ability to handle such matters.

When I got back to my new home, I sent Tongtong a video, told her the location of the new home, and told her about what I would do there the next day.

After hanging up with Tongtong, Yezi made a video call to her mother. Seeing that Yezi was not injured, Siqin and Ye Qingshan were relieved.

Then we talked about the competition, and finally about the prizes: the company gave us a house, and we also made a lot of money.

Finally, there was a wave of contempt. None of those foreign devils could fight, and they had to cooperate with their acting, which was exhausting.

Siqin didn't care about the content of the competition, as long as she won. Ye Qingshan, however, became interested in how much money Ye Zi had made.

The leaf slowly extended a finger.

"Ten million?"

Ye Zi shook her head and said:

"Guess too much."

"One...one hundred million?" Ye Qingshan stammered tentatively.

Seeing her parents' shocked expressions, Yezi dared not let them guess any further, afraid of scaring them into something bad. She nodded smugly.

Actually, he didn't earn 100 million, but 1 billion. Of course, this currency unit is Chinese dollars, and it only includes bonuses and stakes in the tournament.

Besides these, Ye Zi earned a total of seven billion from betting on peripheral gambling platforms alone.

After returning to the gates of hell, Ye Zi handed over his money to Sister Meng. When he took the key and left, Sister Meng told him a rough figure, which was seven billion Chinese dollars.

From the very beginning, the betting odds consistently viewed the Chinese team as weak, meaning they were bearish on Ye Zi, because in the past, Chinese players were always besieged, which is why the odds were 1 to 10.

Ye Zi angrily placed a bet of one hundred million US dollars.

One hundred million becomes one billion, which is seven billion in Chinese currency. Apart from deducting some handling fees, all of this money belongs to Ye Zi herself, and she doesn't have to hand over 30%.

Including the bonus, Ye Zi's total income this time exceeded eight billion Chinese dollars.

Ye Zi's current net worth is close to 10 billion. Don't forget that he also extorted 300 million US dollars from the Bai family. After deducting the handling fees and the 30% he handed over, there is still 1.3 billion left.

With the cash and gold in the space, it should be no problem to have over 10 billion yuan. Ye Zi now considers herself a billionaire, so there shouldn't be any issues.

But he dared not tell his parents, especially not his parents; the number was too frightening.

Siqin and Ye Qingshan only earned a few hundred thousand yuan in their entire lives. Tongtong had to sell everything she owned to pay tens of millions in breach of contract fees. When Ye Zi suddenly told them that he was a billionaire, wouldn't anyone be terrified?

Even now, 100 million is an astronomical figure for Siqin and Ye Qingshan. This is not just a matter of honesty; it's multiplied by 100, which is terrifying.

"The money you've made in the last two years is enough for me to earn for several lifetimes," Ye Qingshan retorted after a moment of stunned silence.

"Well, we made it in time," Ye Zi replied, scratching her head.

"Why would I bother herding sheep? I might as well stay home and take care of my grandson."

Siqin rolled her eyes at her husband after hearing this and said:

"One hundred million is not a lot. We are a minority group. If we have more grandchildren, they will need money for school, houses, cars, and dowries to get married."

You know how expensive it is to buy a house in Beijing; there are so many other things you need to spend money on.

“My son can earn money, so there’s no need to worry about not having enough.”

Besides, our pasture is only so big, and you know our income situation."

Ye Zi picked up the conversation and said:

"There's really no need to worry about money. I've earned quite a bit from the previous live streams, and I can definitely come up with 200 million."

Siqin and Ye Qingshan, who were bickering, suddenly turned to look at Ye Zi and asked in unison:

How much money do you have?

Ye Zi held up two fingers and said:

"Two...two hundred million."

Siqin took a few deep breaths, then said:

"good."

"From now on, I want to smoke good cigarettes and drink good wine."

Siqin rolled her eyes at her husband and said:

"The little money in the family will end up in your belly sooner or later, and you won't even have enough to give your grandson for New Year's money."

The couple started another round of bickering, and Siqin suggested buying pastures, the kind of large-scale grazing by warlords.

Ye Qingshan looked thoughtful, clearly taking it to heart.

Ye Zi interrupted their discussion, saying:

"Well... we won this competition beautifully. The department not only gave us a house, but also 10,000 mu of grassland."

The couple turned to look at Ye Zi on the phone screen again. Ye Qingshan lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice:

"Tell us what other assets you have, and we can handle it."

Ye Zi looked at her mother, Siqin took another deep breath, and then nodded.

Ye Zi said:

"The house provided by the department is a villa. Although it is in the suburbs, the size is about the same as my home."

The couple nodded.

Ye Zi continued:

“The city allocated an entire floor in a commercial building, the floor where Tongtong’s office is located.”

The couple continued to nod.

"I took a gamble in this competition through departmental channels and made a billion."

Siqin was breathing rapidly, and Ye Qingshan's hand holding the cigarette was trembling uncontrollably.

After a long while, the couple calmed down and continued to ask:

"what else?"

"It's gone."

The couple nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that she hadn't frightened her parents badly. After thinking for a moment, she continued:

"I should be able to participate in this kind of competition once or twice more in the future."

Siqin immediately started counting on her fingers, and after finishing, she slammed her hand on the table and said:

"What's the point of this sheep? I'm going to wear gold and silver and eat and use the best things in the world from now on."

Ye Zi immediately chimed in:

"No problem, I'll give you some cash when I get back, so you can buy whatever you want."

Siqin nodded first, then said:

"Hire a shepherd, hire a live-in shepherd; you must not forget the fundamental means of making a living."

Ye Zi covered her forehead. Well, it's still related to herding.

With the competition over, Siqin asked again:

"Tongtong, are you busy with work lately? When will you come to visit? Also, please get the marriage arranged as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to holding my grandson."

In fact, during the few days that Ye Zi was participating in the competition, Tong Tong contacted Si Qin quite a few times, and even sent her New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.
