Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Hahaha, now was the time of your death, Apocalyptic Dragon!"

A heroic man clad in strong armor laughed. In his hand, he held a big Warhammer, radiating a rainbow aura, pointed at a gigantic dragon the size of a skyscraper.

Its dark scales gleamed purplish under the twilight sky.

As the dragon roared, the heroic man's hammer began to elongate and grow in size. With a powerful swing, he smacked the dragon's head.

BAM!!! Bam!!!

Many stars emerged from the hit, each one stunning the dragon, its reptilian eyes turning into swirling lines of confusion.

Seizing the opportunity, the heroic man started his final attack.

His body glowed with a fiery aura as many stars and rainbows began appearing on the hammer.

As the hammer cast its final shadow of doom onto the dragon, suddenly, a loud voice reverberated through the world, making the heroic man gawk.

"ALEX, can you stop playing already!"

The whole world and the apocalyptic dragon turned black. He could feel his body jolt as the VR safety system took over to protect his brain.

'I knew it. Even an apocalyptic dragon was not as fearsome as my mom.

Who in their right mind would forcefully pull someone out from direct connection? Yeah, only my mom.

I spent 10 thousand dollars to get the Star Rainbow Hammer to solo the Apocalyptic Dragon, but my mom spent ten million dollars on the best device just to make sure she could destroy my whole world anytime.'

Luca, looking at her son's stupidly daydreaming face, smacked his head with the phone in her hand.

"Why were you still daydreaming like that?"

Alex's expression changed as he felt wronged, moving one of his hands to stroke the pain in his head.

"Mom! You shouldn't hit me like this, you know that! It's domestic violence! I can see you!"

"Domestic violence!? Suing me!? Are you kidding me!?

You shameless boy, were you sure you were a man? You only lazed around all day playing games!

If you wanted to do that, at least earn some money from the game! How could any woman like a man like you?

When I first met your father…"

'Ah, here it came, the long speech again.' Alex sighed, turning his focus elsewhere.

He had heard this speech many times and could already guess what the next words would be.

It wasn't that he didn't want a girlfriend, but every single one he found always came for his money.

His mother always told stories about how both of them went from having nothing to reaching success, the ups and downs in life, and the romance.

He also wanted to experience all of those things. 'As for a job, why did I need one? I was already born into a rich family,' Alex thought.

Seeing her son daydreaming and not listening to her made her fume even more. She stomped on his foot, making him scream in pain.

"I don't care anymore! Today, you would find a job, or I would block your credit card!!!"

"No!! Mom, not my credit card. If you block it, how could I buy the latest chapter of my novel!"

Alex complained, continuing in his mind, 'How could I fill the void in my social life then!?'

"Then, my dear son," her soft voice suddenly raised, "find a job!! Don't be a parasite!!!"

"Wait, Mom, I wasn't a parasite. Didn't you know I was contributing to society?

If I didn't buy those chapters or game items, did you know how many people couldn't eat?

I single-handedly allowed hundreds to thousands of people to live.

This allowed them to pay their bills and bring their kids to school.

We didn't even need to say how the money they spent contributed back to society. So, I wasn't just enjoying life, Mom, I was helping people," Alex said with a proud tone.

"You what? Just how much did you spend each month?"

'Ehm, Mom, the one hammer I bought for that one boss alone was already 20 times the average person's salary,' Alex thought.

But he didn't dare say it out loud. It might have seemed exaggerated, but he really did spend that much each month.

In many games he played, he was known as the God of Whales. In the novel community, he was recognized as the God Reader.

As long as you got him to read your book, he would shower you with so many gifts and castles, making the book popular everywhere.

The total amount he spent each month could be used to buy a small home in cash.

But even that didn't compare to his mom's expenses. Unlike him, his mom was busy with charity.

She often went out and shared free food and toys for kids in orphanages. This easily reached tens of millions of dollars each month.

Seeing her son become quiet and the conversation going nowhere, she gave her ultimatum for the last time.

"Enough nonsense. I will give you three days. After that, say bye-bye to your credit card."

In reality, his mom didn't care how much he spent; they had enough wealth to last 77 generations.

Even with all the expenses, his father had left them an empire that kept earning them billions of dollars every year.

What she worried about was her son not having any purpose in life and then starting to go down the wrong path.

She had seen it happen with other kids in his situation, ending up in jail or even dead because they did crazy things.

BANG! Critical hit! 1 Million Damage!!!

After his mom left, Alex didn't look for a job.

He returned to the game and finished off the apocalyptic dragon.

His character died and lost the hammer, but he bought another one, and now he finally succeeded in killing it.

[Congrats to the Whale God for becoming the first to…]

Many announcements and notifications filled his view as he felt pride in beating the last boss solo.

He then looked at the global chat, which made him laugh, feeling satisfied.

"Well, looks like Mr. WhaleGod just soloed the final boss. Who needs skills when you have a credit card, right?"

"Breaking news: Whale defeats final boss using the deadliest weapon of all – his wallet."

"I heard he threw so much money at the boss that it died of a paper cut from dollar bills."

"Why grind for gear when you can just buy your way to glory? #WhaleLife"

"Do you think he realized the real final boss was his monthly credit card statement?"
