On the first day of the fourth week, at midnight, the prompt from "Lord Era" arrived as scheduled.
"The raid event has ended, and any unused Points in the point store have been cleared."
"Now awarding Points Leaderboard rewards."
"First place..."
"This week's event: Angel Investor"
"Choose a character as your investee and invest in them. The Resources you invest will determine your return... or your loss."
"With each rise or fall in the investee's earnings, you will gain or lose corresponding Points."
"Invested Resources will be returned at the close of the event. The more you invest, the more you can earn-yet, the more you could lose as well."
"Please note: Investors cannot interfere with their investee's world, please invest with confidence."
"Please note: As the event progresses, there will be restrictions on the Resources you can invest (rember this)."
"The Angel Investor event includes a Profit Leaderboard, with rankings based on final earnings obtained."
"First place: 500,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 50,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 10 Advanced Treasures, 10 rare Building Blueprints."
"Second place: 500,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 50,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 6 Advanced Treasures, 6 rare Building Blueprints."
"Third place: 500,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 50,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 4 Advanced Treasures, 4 rare Building Blueprints."
"Fourth to Tenth place: 500,000 of 3 types of Basic Resources, 50,000 of 4 types of Special Resources, 2 Advanced Treasures."
"These rewards are getting more ridiculous by the minute," he muttered. "Half a million in Basic Resources plus fifty thousand in Special Resources, the number of Advanced Treasures and rare Building Blueprints has doubled."
But the more extravagant the rewards, the less confident Qin Muye felt, because as they were still in the Adaptation Period, would "Lord Era" really be that generous?
This felt like eating a final al.
"But this ti it doesn't involve combat power, so it seems like there is a chance to compete?" Qin Muye realized that this event depended entirely on vision... or perhaps luck. "Drawing investee instance..."
"Draw complete, investee instance: Sky Breaking."
"It's over." Qin Muye felt numb. Couldn't you just change one word and make 'Sky Breaking' to 'Vast Sky'?
This one-word difference completely skewed the storyline.
"Please select your investee..."
A long list of nas appeared, covering everyone and everything within the entire investee instance.
How should one invest here?
Those on the leaderboard were ranked from strongest to weakest, and people soon began to invest, mostly choosing those high on the leaderboard.
Of course, so chose potential stocks, like certain Child of Destiny talents.
"If all else fails, might as well give it a shot. It's a pitfall anyway."
Qin Muye imdiately started filtering.
"First, the genius who beca trash, then a childhood friend with an extraordinary background who never leaves your side, or a half-sister from a different father or mother."
"Add on a Ring or whatever random object housing an old man, and the genius turned trash enduring mockery and humiliation."
"The final key point is a fiancée from a major sect, on the verge of breaking off the engagent or who has completed the break-off."
"Let's add the condition of a transmigrator, who cos with a Golden Finger or a System, that would be best."
He would have liked to select a Main Character with a Main Character Aura who could make independent decisions for eternity or beco a Child of Destiny, but restrictions were in place. He could only choose so conditions for filtering. After all, this was an investnt event, not a giveaway.
After selecting a range of criteria, such as the trashy hero, broken engagent, and spirit grandfather genres, he initiated a fuzzy search and filter.
[Fang Miao: Body Refining First Layer, Risk: Low]
"Holy shit, there really is one?"
Qin Muye had thought he would get sothing blank, but to his surprise, there actually was
one.
Unfortunately, he couldn't open the detailed information; he had to invest first.
Risk is roughly equivalent to return; the lower the risk, the lower the return.
Those strong individuals at the top of the list had extrely high risk—if they collapsed, it would be utter bankruptcy.
"Why not, let's choose this Fang Miao then."
After all, it wasn't easy to find soone eting such specific criteria, and at first glance, he seed to have the makings of a main character.
"In that case, let's dump a hundred thousand Gold Coins into him."
[You have chosen to invest in Fang Miao, investing 100,000 Gold Coins, additional investnt permitted before the close of trading]
Qin Muye was the first and the only one to invest in Fang Miao.
After all, this was just a nobody, and with a strength of only Body Refining First Layer, naturally, he wouldn't attract much attention.
The other Lords probably also used the search and filter features to select a few individuals they had faith in.
However, a Lord could only invest in one person and couldn't make a second investnt or withdraw funds, only choosing to make additional investnts or not.
[Fang Miao suffers a broken engagent, your investnt returns decreased by 0.01, your
total earnings remaining: -0.01]
""
Qin Muye was utterly dumbfounded by this developnt.
"Wait a minute, if the return is negative, wouldn't I have to pay out money?"
"The human heart is treacherous..."
It was only then that Qin Muye realized.
The formula for resource return was investnt x earnings, and if it ended like this, he would directly lose 1,000 Gold Coins-no wonder he gasped in shock.
However, another prompt quickly refreshed on the screen.
[Fang Miao turns the tables, ends his marriage early, and declares 'Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west; don't bully the young and poor', your investnt returns increased by 0.1, your total earnings remaining: 0.09]
"This storyline seems familiar; are you sure this thing isn't plagiarized from Emperor Yan or sothing?" Qin Muye reflected on this familiar storyline and words.
Although the conditions were of his own choosing, he was still bewildered if this was the
actual plot unfolding.
After all, who could have anticipated such developnts?
[Fang Miao sets a three-year challenge, your investnt returns increased by 0.1, your total
earnings remaining: 0.2]
"What's next, is it ti for Yao Lao to appear? Oh, this knockoff investing world might not have a Yao Lao, who knows what kind of 'Lao' will show up."
[Fang Miao trains hard on the back mountain, a soul nad Fu Lao appears in the ring, and he
learns the true reason why his strength has regressed and cannot advance, your investnt returns increased by 1, your total earnings remaining: 1.2]
"Hiss~, it seems the ti ratio isn't the sa; it's only been a few minutes for , and the
guy already knows about Yao Lao... oh, they call him Fu Lao."
"If this wave isn't profitable, what a waste of such a good script."
After watching for two minutes, Qin Muye didn't continue to pay attention. He didn't dare use
his Points anymore; he had to wait until the trading closed, as the outco could fluctuate with the rise and fall of earnings.
This round had already turned a loss into a profit.
Qin Muye knew he had bet correctly.
Of course, once the investee dies, the investnt freezes imdiately. As for the multiplier of the returns, it naturally depends on whether they've experienced a drop or rise before death; it won't decrease to the negatives, so even if Fang Miao dies now, Qin Muye's hundred thousand Gold Coins would return an earning of one hundred twenty thousand Gold Coins.
