Investment genius

The progress of this contribution points collection was unexpectedly fast for He Zhenghao.

When he revealed the news that Li Fan was about to restart the fundraising plan, the many Cultivators of Congyun Sea, fearing they would miss this rare opportunity to get rich, scrambled and unhesitatingly transferred contribution points to He Zhenghao one by one.

He Zhenghao was overwhelmed and exhausted, but also happy.

In less than seven days, he had already completed half of the target, receiving nearly fifty-three million contribution points.

Handling such a colossal amount of contribution points, He Zhenghao's own mindset subtly changed without him realizing it.

“Alas, what kind of life was I living before I met Lord Secret Envoy?”

“For a mere two or three hundred thousand contribution points, I had to scrimp and save, living in fear every day.”

“How frustrating!”

Recalling the past, He Zhenghao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, sighing with emotion.

“Fortunately, those bitter days are gone forever!”

He Zhenghao looked at the constantly rising numbers in the statistics, his heart filled with uncontrollable excitement.

If nothing unexpected happened, after this fundraising was completed, Lord Secret Envoy should also give him a share of the profits, just like the previous times…

Even if it was only one percent…

No, even if it was only one-third of one percent, He Zhenghao would be satisfied.

After all, with Lord Secret Envoy's abilities, earning a profit equivalent to the principal each time should not be difficult.

Calculated this way, it meant he would receive a reward of at least three hundred thousand contribution points…

Thinking of this, a silly smile unconsciously appeared on He Zhenghao's face.

After a long while, he finally woke up from his fantasy.

He began to plan to transfer the contribution points in his hand to Lord Secret Envoy.

But soon, something unexpected happened to him.

The tianxuan mirror actually prompted that it could not find a transaction object and the transfer failed.

Large beads of sweat instantly dripped from He Zhenghao's forehead.

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

One was that the transfer object was mistaken, and the target person did not exist.

The second was that the other party had temporarily suspended all their functional permissions in the tianxuan mirror.

He Zhenghao quickly realized where the problem lay.

The first situation was obviously impossible. Lord Secret Envoy was an existence personally appointed by the Immortal Alliance and governing a region.

Therefore…

He also recalled Li Fan's meaningful words earlier, saying that he would enter deep seclusion and not allow anyone to disturb him.

Then he left him a Fen Shen Jade Slip for emergency use.

“Oh no!” He Zhenghao slapped his thigh suddenly.

“It seems, as that kid Gao Yuan said, this is Lord Secret Envoy's test for me.”

He Zhenghao looked at the astronomical figures in his account, his face turning pale.

The contribution points that originally looked so pleasing to the eye now seemed like death warrants.

“This is bad, this is bad. Although my investment ability, He Zhenghao, is indeed Yi Jue, it depends on the situation.”

“A few tens of thousands, or a hundred thousand contribution points, I can barely handle.”

“But hundreds of millions of contribution points, how dare I operate them?”

“If I'm lucky enough to make a profit, that's fine, but if I lose money, won't I have to compensate?”

The more He Zhenghao thought about it, the more he trembled with fear.

He was well aware that those Cultivators who sought his help today, calling him “Fellow Daoist He” and “Brother He” so intimately, were only doing so on the premise that they could make money.

Once the contribution points they had accumulated by sacrificing everything were lost in this fundraising plan, they would probably be the first to literally tear He Zhenghao apart.

He Zhenghao felt a dizzy spell, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, a thought of “absconding with the money” flashed through his mind.

However, fortunately, he was still able to maintain his sanity.

Shaking his head and discarding this suicidal idea, He Zhenghao braced himself and frantically found Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan also looked solemn after hearing about it.

However, he did not rashly offer an opinion, but habitually frowned and tapped the table, falling into thought.

He Zhenghao also dared not disturb him, so he could only sit restlessly, waiting anxiously on the side.

After a while, Gao Yuan's brows relaxed, and the gloom on his face disappeared.

He comforted him, “Fellow Daoist He, don't worry. You don't need to act rashly, just patiently wait for Lord Secret Envoy's command.”

He Zhenghao was surprised, “Brother Gao, what do you mean?”

Gao Yuan smiled, saying confidently, “What kind of person is Lord Secret Envoy?”

“Although he himself might not care much about these one hundred million contribution points, even I know that such a huge sum of money cannot be controlled by ordinary people.”

“Fellow Daoist He, although you also have a good reputation, you clearly don't have the confidence to operate it profitably.”

He Zhenghao nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Gao Yuan continued, “That's it. Since we both know it well, how could Lord Secret Envoy not understand this point?”

“Do you still remember the Fen Shen Jade Slip he left us? When Lord Secret Envoy instructed us, he said we could use it to contact him.”

“But thinking in reverse, this Fen Shen Jade Slip contains a wisp of Lord Secret Envoy's Divine Sense. So, Lord Secret Envoy can naturally contact us through it later.”

He Zhenghao suddenly understood upon hearing this.

“How to deal with these one hundred million contribution points, Lord Secret Envoy must have already made arrangements. Fellow Daoist He, you just need to do what Lord Secret Envoy instructed, complete the collection of contribution points.”

“Then just wait for Lord Secret Envoy's instructions.”

“Remember, as subordinates, the most taboo thing is to act on our own initiative and be self-important,” Gao Yuan advised.

“This time, Fellow Daoist, it's fortunate that you chose to come and ask me, instead of panicking and directly using that Fen Shen Jade Slip to report to Lord Secret Envoy.”

“Otherwise, I'm afraid this test, Fellow Daoist, you would have failed,” Gao Yuan said earnestly.

He Zhenghao frowned and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, quickly stood up, and bowed to Gao Yuan.

“Thank you, Brother Gao, for helping me. If there's ever a place where you need my help, just say the word!”

“Haha, Brother He, you're too serious. In the future, working under Lord Secret Envoy, you and I still need to look out for and support each other,” Gao Yuan replied very politely.

He Zhenghao, having received Gao Yuan's guidance, finally felt relieved.

He then hurried back to continue his fundraising plan.

And Gao Yuan looked at He Zhenghao's receding back with an unreadable expression.

The reason he repeatedly tried to win over He Zhenghao was because he saw that this person held a somewhat special position in Lord Secret Envoy's eyes.

Although they were all “tools,” there was no doubt that tools also had varying degrees of closeness.

One always tended to use the familiar ones again next time.

And He Zhenghao seemed to be such an existence.
