Chapter 63: New Event - Angel Investor
Chapter 63: New Event - Angel Investor
On the first day of the fourth week, at midnight, the notification from Lord Era arrived as scheduled.
[This raid event has ended. Unused points in the points shop have been reset.]
[Points leaderboard rewards are being distributed.]
[First Place.]
[This week's event: Angel Investor]
[Select a character as your investee and invest in them. The resources you invest will determine your return or loss.]
[Your points will increase or decrease in sync with the gains or losses of your investee.]
[Investment resources will be returned in full after the market closes. The more you invest, the more you can earn, but you can also lose more.]
[Please note: Investors cannot interfere with the world of the investee. Please invest with peace of mind.]
[Please note: As the market opens, the amount of resources you can invest will be limited (please remember this).]
[This Angel Investor event will have a profit leaderboard, with the final profit determining the rankings.]
[1st Place: 3 types of basic resources × 500,000, 4 types of special resources × 50,000, 10 advanced treasures, 10 rare building blueprints]
[2nd Place: 3 types of basic resources × 500,000, 4 types of special resources × 50,000, 6 advanced treasures, 6 rare building blueprints]
[3rd Place: 3 types of basic resources × 500,000, 4 types of special resources × 50,000, 4 advanced treasures, 4 rare building blueprints]
[4th to 10th Place: 3 types of basic resources × 500,000, 4 types of special resources × 50,000, 2 advanced treasures]
"Damn, the rewards are getting more and more outrageous. 500,000 basic resources plus 50,000 special resources, and the number of advanced treasures and rare building blueprints has doubled."
The more generous the rewards, the more uncertain Qin Muye felt. After all, they were still in the adaptation period. Would Lord Era really be so generous?
This feeling was like being served the last meal.
"But this time it doesn't involve combat, so it seems like there's a chance to compete?" Qin Muye realized that this event relied entirely on foresight or luck.
[The Investment copy is being drawn.]
[The sky was a canvas of vibrant hues, painted with the setting sun's golden rays. As the team ventured deeper into the virtual world, the landscape transformed into a surreal dreamscape. Their mission: to conquer the formidable Sky Piercing Combat challenge.]
"Cool," Qin Muye felt numb. "Why can't you change 'Sky Piercing' to 'Heavenly Dome'?"
One word made a huge difference in the plot.
[Please select your investee.]
A comprehensive list emerged, detailing every person and item within the investment copy.
How could he make an investment?
The leaderboard ranked people from strongest to weakest, and soon, people started investing, mostly choosing those at the top of the leaderboard.
Of course, some chose potential stocks, such as certain prodigies.
"If it doesn't work, I'll just give it a try. It's a pitfall anyway."
Qin Muye directly started the screening.
"First, a prodigy turned into a waste. Then, a significant other with an extraordinary background who sticks by them, whether a childhood friend or a half-sibling."
"Plus, a ring or something else where an old man resides, and during the period when the prodigy turned into a waste, they suffered ridicule and humiliation."
"Finally, the key point: an engaged fiancee from a major sect who will soon break off the engagement or has already done so."
"The character should also be a transmigrator, ideally with a golden finger or a system."
He would have preferred to choose a protagonist with a main character aura, capable of ruling for eternity or achieving eternal glory, but he was limited. He could only choose some conditions as screening criteria, after all, this was an investment event, not a giveaway.
After roughly selecting conditions related to the "waste" flow, "engagement break-off" flow, and "old man in the ring" flow, he initiated a fuzzy search and screening.
Fang Miao: Stage One Body Tempering, Risk: Low
"Damn, it really exists?"
Qin Muye had expected to get a blank result, but he actually found one.
Unfortunately, the detailed information couldn't be opened until he invested.
Risk was proportional to reward; the lower the risk, the lower the reward.
For example, the strong individuals at the top of the list had extremely high risk. If they failed, it would mean losing everything.
"Let's go with this Fang Miao, then."
After all, finding someone who met so many of his conditions was truly rare, indicating that this person had the potential of a protagonist.
"Since that's the case, I'll invest 100,000 gold coins."
You have chosen to invest in Fang Miao. This investment is 100,000 gold coins. You can continue to invest before the market closes.
Qin Muye was the first and only one to invest in Fang Miao.
After all, this was just an unknown figure with only Stage One Body Tempering, so it naturally didn't attract much attention.
Other Lords likely chose some promising individuals through the search and screening functions.
However, each Lord could only invest in one person, and they couldn't invest a second time or withdraw their investment; they could only choose to add more or not.
Fang Miao has been dumped by his fiancee. Your investment loss: -0.01. Your total earnings: -0.01.
"."
Qin Muye was completely stunned by this.
"Wait, if the earnings are negative, I'll have to pay a penalty?"
"Human nature is truly treacherous."
It was only at this moment that Qin Muye realized the formula for resource returns was investment × earnings. If this continued, he would lose 1,000 gold coins, which made him shudder.
But soon, another message appeared.
Fang Miao takes the initiative, breaks off the engagement early, and declares, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; do not underestimate a poor young man.' Your investment gain: +0.1. Your total earnings: 0.09.
"This plot seems familiar. Is this not a copy of a certain Flame Emperor's story?" Qin Muye observed the familiar plot and dialogue.
Although he had set the conditions himself, the unfolding of the story still left him bewildered.
After all, who could have predicted this?
Fang Miao sets a three-year agreement. Your investment gain: +0.1. Your total earnings: 0.2.
"Is the next step the appearance of the Medicine Elder? Oh, this simulated investment world might not have a Medicine Elder. Who knows what kind of old man will show up."
Fang Miao practices diligently in the back mountain. A soul named Fu Lao appears in the ring, revealing the truth about his declining strength and inability to progress. Your investment gain: +1. Your total earnings: 1.2.
"Wow, it seems the time ratio is different. It's only been a few minutes for me, but Fang Miao has already met the Medicine Elder—oh, he's called Fu Lao."
"If I don't make a fortune from this, I'd be wasting such a great script."
After watching for a couple of minutes, Qin Muye stopped paying attention. He didn't dare use any more points until the market closed, as his earnings could still rise or fall.
This wave had turned a loss into a profit.
Qin Muye knew he had made the right bet.
Of course, if the investee died, the investment would be immediately frozen, and the earnings would be based on the rise or fall before death, not decreasing to a negative. So even if Fang Miao died now, Qin Muye would still gain 120,000 gold coins from his 100,000 gold coin investment.
