Where would the very limit of development achievable by a private enterprise be?   Being listed among the top 500 in the country? Being listed among the the top 500 in the world? Or, becoming a boss-level entity that transcends nations, ruling the world as de facto rulers, just like those companies listed below?   The Umbrella Corporation in ‘Resident Evil’, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation in ‘Alien’, the Concordance Extraction Corporation in ‘Dead Space’, Gentek in ‘Prototype’, Vault-Tec in ‘Fallout’, the Shinra Company in ‘Final Fantasy 7’…   Zhang Heng’s goal was to have his company listed among all those giants mentioned above, even eclipsing all of them in terms of size and achievements.   Regular people might not be able to achieve such a goal, but what about a person who possess all of that ‘black tech’ developed by the aforementioned corporate entities?   The company named ‘Stellar Biotech Corporation’ is founded by one such person, a man who goes on a crusade of monopolizing all aspects of development of civilization—medicine, biology, physics, philosophy, you name it—at an unprecedented rate, eventually becoming a goliath that would transcend nations and monopolize every single aspect of human technological development!

# MONSTERHUNTING # INVASION # RELAXED Su Chen was transmigrated to a world where every person would get to choose a gaming talent when they reach adulthood. Some chose the talent from WoW, which allowed them to get stronger by spending money. Some chose Minecraft, which allowed them to break and combine everything. Some chose Plants vs. Zombies, which allowed them to farm powerful plants to attack their enemies. And yet, Su Chen had chosen the talent of a game that no one would choose, Monopoly. He immediately became a land owner in a world where spirit energy had started to appear. He also bought a lot of properties, like the Awakening Tower, the Battle Arena, and even the Female Dormitory. Whenever a person enters his land, they would have to pay a fee. He was also able to rob other people’s weapons, items, money, techniques, and skills. On a certain day when the gods of another realm invaded the blue star, they realized the land they stood on belonged to Su Chen. “Pay up!” he yelled at the gods.
