My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Jadeite was arguably Li Xiang’s biggest source of income right now. With several of his own stores, online livestream sales, and auctions for high-end pieces, the cash flow was practically endless.

It was far more profitable than tea and red wine.

Although the profit margins on tea and red wine were high, they couldn’t compare to the exorbitant profits from jadeite. What’s more, Li Xiang’s Jadeite Rough Stones were all acquired for free.

Most importantly, after this "liquidation" process, all the income was legal and could be used openly.

He also had a large amount of gold in his system inventory, but liquidating gold was a bit more troublesome. Besides, the gold could be used later as an anchor to issue currency, so he decided to keep it in storage for the time being.

Li Xiang’s current inventory space was a full 2,097,000 cubic meters. He had only used a little over two hundred thousand, leaving more than 1.8 million cubic meters of extra-large space. And since he happened to be right on the China-Myanmar Border, he paid another visit to Myanmar that very night.

Then, nearly the entire stockpile from hundreds of jadeite mines controlled by the military and drug lords in Myanmar—stockpiles excavated day and night by machines—was once again plundered by the Mysterious Man.

The local bigwigs were about to lose their minds.

"Who the hell is this guy? Why does he keep messing with us over and over again?"

But despite being all-powerful in the region, they still couldn’t find a single clue.

What brought them a slight sense of comfort was that the Mysterious Man didn’t just plunder them in Northern Myanmar; he also went south and looted many other factions within the country.

Almost every faction had been hit.

’This Mysterious Man is pretty fair. He didn’t weaken one faction just to let another one take over. That’s good.’

After all, this "wealth" was the primary source of income and military funding for these factions. If one was plundered and another wasn’t, it would create an "imbalance."

In the following days, vast amounts of wealth also vanished into thin air in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia, becoming unsolved mysteries.

Thailand was hit particularly hard, losing a full 500,000 tons of Thai Fragrant Rice and over 5,000 kilograms of gold. The losses were devastating.

Such a shocking crime sent waves across the globe.

Some busybody collected photos of the messy crime scenes and posted them on a well-known international video website, sparking heated discussions.

People began to speculate: which country was the Mysterious Man from?

An Indian jumped in, saying, "This must be our Indian superhero! Only an Indian superhero could possess such incredible power."

Someone else agreed, "That’s right, it must be our White Elephant! Otherwise, why would the Mysterious Man go everywhere else but leave India alone? We share a border of over 1,500 kilometers with western Myanmar; it would be very easy for him to cross over."

A South Korean retorted, "If there’s such a powerful hero in Asia, it must be one of us South Koreans. We are the origin and cradle of Asia! Only our great nation, number one in the universe, has the right soil to produce such a superhero."

An American commented, "This has to be our American Batman."

A Japanese person: "You’re all wrong. It’s definitely a Chinese person. I know the Chinese best. Look, all the victims are China’s neighbors. I’m very worried he’ll come to Japan to steal our beautiful women."

A Chinese netizen: "Don’t spout nonsense, Japan-boy. The White Elephant already admitted it was them, and you’re still trying to sling mud at us?"

An Indian netizen: "That’s right! On behalf of my country’s superhero, I offer a sincere apology to our victimized Southeast Asian neighbors. I hope you will consider moving to India and transferring your investments here. Then our superhero won’t bother you anymore!"

A Thai person: "I’d rather be robbed by the Mysterious Man than go to your India."

In a luxury mansion in Jiangnan, Luo Feifei was taking a few days off, curled up on the living room sofa scrolling through her phone. When she read these comments, she let out a honking laugh. With her sharp wit, she naturally knew that the Mysterious Man had to be Li Xiang.

’I never thought you’d be so popular, Brother Xiang. People from so many countries want to claim you for their own.’

’It’s been so many days. I kind of miss him.’

At this thought, Luo Feifei sent Li Xiang a message: "Where are you? Off having fun all over the world without me."

Li Xiang didn’t reply, but Luo Feifei didn’t mind. She knew his phone was probably turned off.

’Who brings a phone along when they’re up to no good? Especially this late.’

Her eyes darted. It wasn’t hard to guess that Li Xiang must be preparing for the Apocalypse.

’Starting preparations this early, gathering so many supplies... I won’t go hungry if I stick with you in the future, haha.’

About ten minutes later, Li Xiang replied: "At home. Where are you? I’ll come find you."

"Right now?"

"Yes, right now."

"No, it’s not a good time." Luo Feifei immediately refused. ’I’m at home right now,’ she thought. ’I already sent you my address back when I was using my Top Aunt identity. If I tell you again now, my cover will be blown! I want you to keep calling me Little Aunt for a while longer.’

Li Xiang: "Alright then, forget it."

Luo Feifei quickly said, "Wait, I’ll go get a room."

If word got out that Luo Feifei had gone to book a hotel room in the middle of the night just for a secret rendezvous with a man, it would definitely make headlines.

Li Xiang: "You’re going out to get a room this late? Let’s just wait a few days. Message me when it’s a better time for you."

"Okay." Luo Feifei was slightly disappointed. She was no longer in the mood to play on her phone, so she began to focus on her Cultivation instead.
