After Being Humiliated, I Awaken An Infinite Spending System

5

The chat saw the $50,000,014.23 balance and the comments stopped for three full seconds.

Then, Caleb opened the most expensive digital luxury store in the world... a platform where the ultra-rich bought digital yachts, virtual real estate and exclusive server crowns.

He clicked on a digital mega-yacht that cost $500,000.

[Tap]

Purchased.

The chat section exploded.

"Wait... did he just buy that? That is half a million dollars!"

Caleb did not stop. He clicked on the most expensive virtual mansion... $1,000,000.

[Tap]

Purchased.

Then, he went to the global gift leaderboard and started dropping millions of dollars in virtual gifts on random, zero-viewer channels.

He also bought out the entire digital inventory of the platform's rarest items.

Ten virtual dragons... Fifty digital castles... A hundred global server announcements. Every single server on the app pinged with his name.

In less than five minutes, Caleb burned through exactly $50,000,000.

The internet completely broke.

Thousands of viewers flooded into his stream... then tens of thousands... then two million.

The chat moved so fast it was a blinding blur of colors.

"Is this real life?! He is spending millions like it's toilet paper!"

"Who is this guy?! The servers are crashing!"

"I work eighty hours a week just to eat, and he just dropped my entire family's life savings on a virtual dragon! I hate him so much!"

"He is insane! A total madman!"

Within minutes, screenshots of his absurd spending spree hit every social media platform and were also trending at number one globally.

The netizens went into a frenzy of absolute envy and shock. 

They quickly crowned him with a viral nickname.

"The Mad Billionaire."

Caleb watched the viewer count hit three million. He saw the pure rage and extreme jealousy in the comments. People were furious that a stranger was throwing away generational wealth for a joke.

[PING!]

[Massive public envy detected!]

[Severe shock and rage generated!]

[Spite Points accumulating: +10,000... +50,000... +100,000... +500,000!]

The robotic voice in his head sounded almost pleased.

[Maximum threshold reached. Dispensing Game-Breaking Rewards.]

Suddenly, a massive surge of pure, white-hot energy exploded inside Caleb's chest.

He dropped his phone and fell to his knees on the thick office floor, grabbing his shirt as his body caught fire from the inside.

His bones popped and cracked loudly.

[Crack! Pop!]

His skinny, malnourished body began to violently morph. His muscles tore and rebuilt themselves in seconds, expanding with explosive, raw power. His shoulders broadened heavily and his core hardened into solid stone.

He grew three inches taller... his posture straightening with pure, undeniable dominance.

[Reward Granted: Peak Human Physique.]

Then, a sharp, freezing jolt of electricity hit his brain.

His vision blurred... then everything became terrifyingly sharp. 

Every book he had ever read, every face he had ever seen and every number he had ever calculated locked perfectly into his mind. He could recall the exact thread count of the rug he was kneeling on.

[Reward Granted: Perfect Memory.]

The electricity pulsed deeper into his mind, forcefully wiring complex psychological tactics, manipulation techniques and business strategies directly into his nervous system.

[Reward Granted: Advanced Negotiation Skills.]

Caleb stood up slowly. He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the master office.

He stared at his reflection... the dirty, exhausted factory worker was completely gone.

Standing in the mirror was a tall, heavily muscled predator. 

His jawline was sharp, eyes were cold, calculating and full of dangerous power.

He looked like a man who owned the world.

He clenched his fist. He could feel the terrifying, super strength coursing through his veins.

[BZZZ! BZZZ!]

His cracked phone vibrated on the floor.

Caleb picked it up.

It was not a notification from the stream... the stream had been forcefully disconnected.

His phone screen completely went black. Then, a single, highly encrypted text message appeared on the dark screen:

"Impressive display, Mad Billionaire. But money alone does not buy true power in this city."

Caleb narrowed his newly enhanced eyes. His perfect memory instantly memorized the encrypted routing number of the sender.

A second message appeared:

"I invite you to the Mingle Club at midnight tomorrow. Come alone. Let us see if your bite matches your wallet."

Attached to the text was a single digital barcode and a set of VIP coordinates located deep underground.

Caleb stared at the screen.

His advanced negotiation skills instantly analyzed the tone of the message and it was clearly not a threat... it was a high-stakes invitation from someone extremely dangerous... a mysterious, powerful woman with enough reach to hack directly into a billionaire's livestream and phone.

A dark, excited smile spread across his perfect face.

"Mingle Club..." Caleb whispered to himself in the empty room. "Let's see how much envy I can cause underground."

...

The afternoon sun shined brightly over Central Luxury Plaza, the most expensive and exclusive high-end shopping mall in the entire city.

Inside a private VIP diamond boutique on the top floor, Chloe was clutching Julian Vance’s arm tightly. Her eyes were still puffy and red, and her face was completely pale. 

She had spent the entire morning crying into her pillow after the brutal, crushing humiliation they had suffered the previous night at The Crown Diner.

"Julian, that factory rat must have used some kind of stolen or fake black card last night!" Chloe whined, her voice shaking with a mixture of anger and desperation. "There is absolutely no way a dirty, pathetic loser like Caleb could buy a fifty-million-dollar restaurant! He probably scammed an old lady or found a glitch in the banking system. You have to tell your father to put him in jail!"

Julian’s face twisted into an ugly, furious scowl at the mere mention of Caleb's name. His fist clenched so hard that his multi-million-dollar diamond watch rattled against his wrist.

"Shut up about that garbage, Chloe," Julian hissed, trying desperately to rebuild his shattered, arrogant pride. "My father is already having his top corporate investigators look into that loser. No one throws a Vance out of a building and gets away with it. He will be begging for mercy in the streets by the end of the week. Today, we are here for shopping. Forget about the rat. Pick whatever diamond necklace you want, money is nothing to me."

Chloe’s eyes instantly lit up with pure, unadulterated greed. She looked down at a stunning, custom-crafted five-million-dollar diamond necklace sitting beneath the pristine glass case.

"Oh, Julian! You are truly the only real billionaire in this city!" she cheered, her submissive, adoring smile returning in full force.
