He Zhenghao joins the game

“Go back on my word? What a joke! I, Li Fan, always stick to my word,” Li Fan said proudly.

“Then it’s settled. If I lose, I’ll willingly give up cultivating the Sitting Mountain Skill. If you lose, well…”

Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao coldly: “I won’t make things difficult for you. Besides immediately changing your Cultivation Technique, you just need to give me half of your assets!”

He Zhenghao’s face changed drastically: “This, this, this…”

“Senior! How can you gamble like this!”

“Hmm?” A hint of killing intent flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, scaring He Zhenghao so much that he inwardly groaned and immediately shut his mouth.

“Does the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have anything like a written contract?” Li Fan asked casually. “We can’t just rely on words, can we? What do you think?”

How could He Zhenghao dare to disagree? He could only brace himself and purchase a business contract from the heavenly mystery little mirror.

Li Fan took the contract, pretending it was his first time seeing it, studied it carefully, and showed a thoughtful expression.

Then he wrote down the agreed-upon terms for both parties on it and handed the contract to He Zhenghao.

He Zhenghao looked at the extremely harsh terms on the contract and couldn’t help but hesitate.

“Seven or eight days to turn 150,000 into 250,000. This is almost an impossible task. My chances of winning are still quite high.”

“Now, I am the fish on the chopping block. Let’s gamble then!”

He Zhenghao’s expression kept changing, but he finally bit the bullet and wrote his name on the business contract.

Two golden lights, respectively, entered Li Fan’s and He Zhenghao’s bodies.

The contract was established.

Li Fan then said, “Alright, kid. Hurry up and take out the 150,000!”

He Zhenghao was a bit confused: “What 150,000?”

Li Fan glared at He Zhenghao and said as if it were obvious, “Of course, it’s your 150,000 contribution points! I just woke up, and I’m not a member of your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

“How could I have so many contribution points to fulfill the bet!”

“Naturally, I need to borrow your contribution points for a while.”

He Zhenghao was first stunned, then completely panicked.

One must know that if he only lost the bet, at most, he would only lose half.

But if the investment failed, it was not impossible to lose everything!

This was a lesson He Zhenghao had learned through years of blood and tears.

Even facing Li Fan’s almost tangible killing intent, he firmly shook his head and refused.

Anyway, the two parties who signed the business contract could not harm each other before the contract was fulfilled.

He Zhenghao recognized this point and refused to take out his life savings no matter what.

He originally thought Li Fan would get angry, but instead, he put on a smiling face.

“Kid, don’t worry. During the bet, I will stay here with you and won’t leave.”

“And I won’t handle your contribution points directly. I’ll only give investment suggestions.”

“Ultimately, you will personally oversee it. If you truly feel it’s inappropriate, I won’t force you.”

…

Li Fan’s words seemed to have a bewitching power.

Making He Zhenghao unknowingly lower his guard.

“If he says so, the final decision is mine, so there’s really no risk.”

Just like that, not long after, He Zhenghao muddled through and cashed out all his scattered investments.

Because it was rushed, he lost a little.

He actually received 148,500 contribution points in total.

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late to regret.

“Alright, He kid, just watch my methods.”

He Zhenghao, who was secretly groaning, saw an inexplicable energy fluctuation suddenly erupt from Li Fan’s body, and his clothes moved without wind.

He, on the other hand, had his eyes slightly closed, his fingers constantly pinching, seemingly sensing something.

He Zhenghao could only stand still, not daring to disturb him.

Li Fan’s calculation lasted for a full three days.

His complexion gradually turned pale, but the Aura on his body continuously strengthened with the passage of time.

Although He Zhenghao didn’t quite understand, he knew that the other party must have reached a critical juncture.

He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly and stared intently at Li Fan.

“敕 (Chì)!”

Li Fan suddenly let out a low cry and pointed a finger towards the sky.

He Zhenghao then saw what looked like a purple Qi, breaking through the great formation and flying towards the sky.

“What kind of Divine Ability is this…”

He was secretly astonished in his heart.

A moment later, Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

“Got it!”

He Zhenghao was stunned: “Got what?”

Li Fan didn’t answer but asked instead: “Does the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have something like ugugu obsidian?”

“ugugu obsidian?” He Zhenghao frowned and began searching in the heavenly mystery little mirror.

After a moment.

He replied: “Yes, there is such a thing. It’s a rare Artifact Refining Materials, precious but not very useful.”

“Senior, why are you asking about this?” He Zhenghao felt a bit confused.

“Buy all of it with 150,000 contribution points!” Li Fan said decisively.

He Zhenghao was greatly surprised: “Why?”

Li Fan said impatiently: “Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Just buy it! How much we can earn from 150,000 contribution points depends on this wave!”

He Zhenghao finally reacted, his face full of disbelief: “Is this your investment Dao, Senior?”

Li Fan glanced at him disdainfully and sneered: “Kid, when I was cultivating the Sitting Mountain Skill, you didn’t even know where you were! Now you dare to question me?”

He Zhenghao opened his mouth, but ultimately, under Li Fan’s oppressive power, he didn’t dare to retort.

However, as a qualified investor, He Zhenghao did not rush to buy as Li Fan instructed. Instead, he first quietly and carefully checked the information on ugugu obsidian.

“The biggest and only use for this stone is to forge the ‘Ugugu Traveling Boat’ which can freely travel through earth veins.”

“Both its existing quantity and circulation are relatively small, and its price fluctuations are also relatively minor.”

“While it might not necessarily make a profit, it’s unlikely to incur a significant loss.”

“I’ll listen to him for now. There are still four days until the bet ends. I refuse to believe that this thing can really turn the world upside down in such a short time.”

Seeing Li Fan impatiently urging him from the side, He Zhenghao thought for a while and secretly made his decision.

“Alright, since Senior, you insist, then I’ll just have to do as you say.”

The price of ugugu obsidian was 280 contribution points per jin.

As He Zhenghao purchased it, he said to Li Fan: “Senior has been asleep for a long time. You should know that the current world is different from ancient times.”

“Our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a supreme treasure like the tianxuan mirror to regulate the market, and prices are often very stable.”

“There might be minor fluctuations, but for Senior to want to get rich quick with this method…”

He Zhenghao shook his head slightly.

Li Fan snorted coldly: “What are you babbling about? Just wait and see!”

“How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator know my Tianji Sect’s Divine Ability!”

He Zhenghao was unconvinced in his heart but still closed his mouth.

He held back his Qi, waiting to see Li Fan make a fool of himself.

Until two days later.

To his astonishment, the price of ugugu obsidian soared.
