A character achievement ending for accumulating 100,000 gold across a single playthrough, rewarding economic diligence and strategic resource management.
Millionaire is a character achievement ending that tracks the protagonist’s accumulated wealth. Reaching 100,000 gold coins is the threshold, and it is more attainable than it sounds — provided you know where the money comes from.
The primary sources of gold are exploration milestones (bonuses at 50% and 75% chapter completion), Feats rewards for specific in-game actions, and a one-time mail bonus of 20,000 gold that players receive when they first check the main menu mailbox. Most players naturally accumulate around 60,000–70,000 gold by Chapter 13 through normal exploration; combining this with the mail bonus and a few targeted Feats pushes the total past 100,000.
The achievement is classified as medium difficulty because it requires consistent exploration but no extraordinary skill. It is also one of the few achievements that can be earned without completing the main story — a player who methodically explores every branch in the first half of the game can reach the threshold well before the finale. The name “Millionaire” is slightly hyperbolic (100,000 is not a million), but in the context of the Tang dynasty court, it represents a fortune.
