[ 'Leather Crafting' Proficiency +36% ]
[ 'Smithing' Proficiency +3% ]
[ 'Smithing' Proficiency +2% ] 
[ 'Smithing' Proficiency +2% ]
[ ... ]
[ 'Smithing' has leveled up! ]
'Finally!'
50 minutes later, I was finally able to make a 90% imitation of the outfit using some of the wolf leather I had back from the forest adventure, and crafted over 50 daggers made from crocodile and snake teeth.
Of course, the dagger wouldn't look exactly like his and the outfit wasn't a 100% perfect imitation, but these were just there to support the reality of the 'Illusion' so other than the texture, the 'Illusion' itself would fool the eyes anyway.
This left me with a little bit over 10 minutes, so I decided to make use of this time to go over the fastest way to prepare, distributing stat points!
[ • Stats : 
Strength: 24.07
Constitution: 24.06
Agility: 20.89
Dexterity: 20.99
Perception: 20.27
Wisdom: 20.49
Intelligence: ???
Dual-Element: 24.49 ( Lightning, Thunder )
Unassigned stat points: 14.421 ]
'Hmmmm…'
First on my priority list, Agility, one of the very important increasing factors of speed, the strongest point I had and also a very important trump card of mine!
As the second hardest stat to increase without relying on unassigned points gained from leveling, it was worth investing in.
Of course, investing all points in speed would only result in a disaster, with the possibility of my body breaking down from being able to support and handle the increase of one stat such as Agility being quite high, so I needed to invest moderately…
With that being said, I planned to invest in special portions of 5~4 to test the possibilities of achieving another evolution requirement, and various other expectations... 
[ Agility +4.2! ]
[ Agility: 25.09 ]
"Ugh!"
All I could feel at this point was pain, expected pain…
Improving Agility included muscle reconstruction similar to that of Dexterity's muscle reconstruction, however, Agility's pain spread along the whole body instead of certain limbs and mobile parts of the body, so it was a bit more harsher to endure.
Yet, considering the fact that I was raising my body's agility by 5 times the agility of a normal man, 'Immunity' could be considered as doing a great job!
[ 'Pain Immunity' Proficiency +31%! ]
As for the hardest and almost impossible stat to increase, Dexterity, it was actually down my priority list as it's actual use was quite limited, especially with the fact that my current dexterity has reached the inhuman domain, investing in it more wouldn't be necessary unless I had an actual reason for it.
The second on my priority list, being Wisdom, the source of my 'Telekinesis' and the main motor behind it, investing on it could only improve my hidden trump card further which was very needed considering the place I was heading to, not to mention its positive effect of my 'Omni-viewing eye'!
[ Wisdom +4.6! ]
[ Wisdom: 25.09 ]
[ 'Pain Immunity' Proficiency +25%! ]
[ 'Mental Immunity' has leveled up! ]
'Oh!'
To think that having two kinds of 'Immunities' suppressing the side effects of increasing the Wisdom stat!
'A very welcome surprise!'
Leaving aside Perception that didn't need to be increased for now as Wisdom has more or less took its role as the booster of 'Omni-Viewing Eye', there were only Strength and Constitution left to invest in.
Being already very high thanks to the constant cleansing of my weapon Ki produced from the consecutive advancements, and having only less than 6 points left to invest didn't leave me much choices, but I still decided to add 1 point to each to test something…
[ Constitution +1! ]
That was...
[ Your Constitution has surpassed 25 points! ]
Stat limit break abilities!
[ Stat requirement reached! ]


Doomed to die!

Facing such a fate, Ian Cloud, the crippled genius, has to make a choice…

Either to wait for his impending death while decaying slowly, or to run into its embrace head-first for a chance to struggle and live on!

Follow Ian as he enters the astonishing world of ‘The Lost Realm’, a super realistic VR game where danger lurks everywhere and getting logged out equals death.

Will he manage to survive now that he is no longer restricted by his physical flaw? Or will he lose his last chance to fix his broken reality?

JIANG GROUP COMPANY
Tara left for the company very early in the morning. This he did for the sake of getting sympathy and attention from his father. anything he could do for the success of his mission, including stealing attention from her father.
An hour earlier than usual, this beautiful woman arrived at her father's company. She sits quietly in her office and is staring at the computer screen seriously. Tara is looking around and studying some important projects from the company. , besides that, there are also several other company reports for later consideration. If later she is talking to her father about investing in the company, at least she can know the weaknesses and strengths of each company that collaborates with the Jiang Group company. That way this beautiful woman will be more. It was easy to propose to his father to invest in the company JT group according to Jonathan's request.
Not long after, Director Jerry Jiang just came. The male father, Tara, and Tiara happened to see his daughter who was working diligently and was very happy. rarely did he see Tara could this passion at work. He took the time to walk over to his favorite daughter in his office.
Even if it's just to greet this beautiful woman.
Check it... Director Jerry opened the door to the intermediate room and then went inside. The man saw that he was very serious at work so that this beautiful woman did not realize that her father had entered her room. Jerry Jiang stepped closer to Tara's desk.
"Honey, you've come so early in the morning. Is there anything urgent or work to be done this morning?" asked director Jerry, smiling at Tara. How is this progress If the beautiful daughter is willing to work seriously and also be more diligent?
Tara was quite surprised by the arrival of her father who entered her room without realizing it. This beautiful woman immediately turned her chair and looked at her father. a serious look and full of consideration between wanting to convey his main goal to his father. Now or later when he is ready with all the considerations he has mastered. the more he knows about the company, the greater the chance of earning his father's trust.
"Dad when did you come? Why didn't I hear the door open and your footsteps?" Tara asked with a soft, polite smile.
"Oh, I just came and accidentally saw you were so busy working in your office. Do you want to see what you are doing?" Answer the answer from the managing director of the Jiang group company.
"Oh, I'm just looking at our company's financial statements. I see our feelings have grown very rapidly in recent years and also the companies that work with our company are well-known companies. Dad, why don't our companies just invest in other companies. Isn't it that our company will grow faster and our profits will be bigger? " The procedure provided an explanation as well as a reasonable reason to win over his father's heart so that the managing director of the Jiang Group company would melt his heart and follow all his suggestions and wishes.
Hearing what his daughter said, Jerry Jiang then thought. Why did Tara suddenly ask about investing in other companies? while this man himself is not very interested in investing because he thinks his company is strong enough with his funding and some support from his partner companies that are scattered in various cities. 
"It's a good idea, but I haven't found a company and a good project for us to be investors in the company. Of course, I don't want to be careless about releasing millions of dollars or even tens of millions of money to companies that are not clear," replied Jerry Jiang who was quite realistic and materialistic in all considerations.
"Oh, Is that any reason? What if I find a project and also a good company. Is my father interested in investing with an investor in the company?" asked Tara. This beautiful woman began to provoke her father's interest in investing in other companies. The skill of the soldiers in dancing and also speaking is no doubt, this beautiful woman has succeeded several times in conquering male corporate leaders to cooperate with companies with only a few tricks and cleverness in seducing investors.
"Hmm ... of course you can, if the company has prospects beyond our company like the Kim family's Lianxi Group Company. Of course, the father will not object." explained director Jerry Jiang casually with a few smiles adorned at the corners of his lips.
"You little Tara, how long has she been my daughter that you don't know what I'm thinking about every day. Of course and nothing but profit and how to make my company bigger and become the number 1 company in the city of S." Jerry Jiang's thoughts.
Tara frowned after hearing the answer from her father. how could Jonathan's small company be compared to the Kim family's Lianxi group, whereas they weren't even comparable to the Jiang group's company? The hotel development project in J city will also never fall into the hands of the JT Group Company if the Jiang group company at that time did not withdraw from the project tender at my request.
"Shit! Shit! Did I hear you right? Have to surpass Jiang Group ... at least equal to the Lianxi Group ?? no way! Lianxi Group Company number 1 in S. City come on!" Tara muttered to herself. He couldn't believe what his ears had just heard.
"Are you not mistaken? A company like the Lianxi group in this city, where is there? Daddy, don't joke." asked Tara who was curious to know her father's reason.
Tara couldn't believe what she had heard. "Are you not mistaken? A company like the Lianxi group in this city, where is there? Daddy, don't joke." asked Tara who was curious to know her father's reason.

A couple of months passed, and Swindle entered the brokerage firm where Fake worked. It was located on the top floor of a tower where there were only offices. Inside the brokerage house there was a waiting room with several couches, a reception and several corridors that surely connected several offices where several brokers served several clients.
Yes, that place seemed more like a regular office than a casino.
But Swindle was still convinced that place was way more similar to a casino than Fake claimed.
Swindle approached the reception. He had one on the travel bags with him.
"Good morning," he said to the receptionist. "I'd like to see Fake Asshole."
"Excuse me?" the receptionist glared at Swindle and asked both surprised and willing to call security.
"You know. Fake," Swindle repeated. "Bald, overweighed, middle-aged, one of the main partners of this brokerage firm, and has a PhD in Financial Sciences."
"Oh, oh, Dale Van Hole. Sure. I'm so, so sorry," the receptionist covered her face with both hands because she was blushing. "It's just that I heard… nevermind. Sure. And who's looking for him?"
"Ringo Jones."
"Ok. One moment, please."
The receptionist stood up, opened a door beside her desk and got in.
And out.
"I'm sorry, Mister Jones, but Mister Van Hole's very busy right now, and—
"Tell him I want to invest in the stock market, and I'll start with $1'000,000."
The receptionist gaped for a moment, and then opened the same door and got in.
And out.
"Please, come in, Mister Jones."
Swindle entered Fake's office, and it was as ostentatious as he imagined it: the walls were covered with paintings and bookshelves, which were covered by old hard cover books which probably had never been opened; there was a glass desk in front of Swindle with a couple books, a computer and a Fake glaring at him, and behind Fake there was a glass wall.  
"So, is it true you want to invest $1'000,000?" Fake asked suspiciously.
"Yes," Swindle approached Fake's desk, put his travel bag there and opened it. It wasn't as full as before, because it now only contained: "$1'000,000. And I want to invest them in my mother's name." 
Fake was shocked to see that much money—sure, he had a lot more in the bank, but those were just numbers on his bank statement.
"Where did you get this from? Is it legal?"
"Well," Swindle sat in one of the chairs in front of Fake's desk, "to answer all your questions, 1) it doesn't matter, and 2) it doesn't matter."
"Of course it matters," Fake was still shocked, and he wasn't taking his eyes off that money. "I can't just buy stocks with that. Do you want me to get audited? So, where did you got that money? Is it legal or not?"
"The fact I have it in a travel bag should tell you everything, don't you think? But you choose if you take it or not," said Swindle with a smirk. "But remember there's more where that came from."
Fake glanced at Swindle suspiciously.
He took then the travel back and checked its contents.
Yes, it had bills and only bills.
He took then a couple wads and checked them. 
Yes, it had bills and only bills.
"Well, maybe I can help you out investing all of this. And where do you want to invest it? 
"ProTech," Swindle said without hesitation.
"ProTech?" Fake logged onto his computer. "Are you sure? Apparently that company just entered the market, and it doesn't look very promising, to be honest. With all the changes in its directors' board, investors are a little nervous, and I don't blame them. Personally, I would recommend investing elsewhere, and I could advise you depending on whether you are looking for short or long-term profits. Sure, all for a small commission.
Swindle smirked.
"Thanks, but I'm investing there because the shares are low now, and I'm sure the shares won't go any lower."
"The way things look, that's exactly what's going to happen in the next few days," Fake warned him. I really don't recommend investing there. This is not a casino, and unfortunately 80% of investors lose money at first because they think like you. But you can choose what to do with your money, though.
"Don't worry." Swindle remained calm despite Fake's constant warnings. "This is just a gamble, and I'm very good at it."

These are the infamous stories of Ringo Jones -or Swindle Jones as his friends call him, and that's why he never mixes business with friendship- a professional scammer who, throughout his life discovers that the biggest scams are in the most prestigious institutions we have, like colleges, stoke brokers, hospitals and so on.
The world is a scam, and humans, just a bunch of scammers.

Chen Yang did not immediately reply, but instead drank a sip of his coffee, and put it down before softly sighing with a heavy look on his face, "Si Chen, I really admire you for having such knowledge at your age. I know that I'm not supposed to do this, but I have to warn you that investing into my online shopping website may not be a great idea, and may cause huge losses instead."
"Although the idea of 'online shopping' is an original idea that may, at first glance, seem lucrative, it is not as amazing as it is made up to be. There are many problems that we are facing right now, and the deficit we are incurring is painful to the eye. I suggest that you should give up on this idea, and try out other businesses to invest to instead." Chen Yang said in a sincere tone.  
 It was not that Chen Yang did not like Si Chen to invest into his website, but rather because he felt that Si Chen was a good youth, and didn't want him to lose money at his early stages in life just because of him.
However, Si Chen did not think much about his reminder.
There was only one reason why he was investing, which was his confidence in it. As for the problems, he would then solve them one by one.
"Chen Yang, I appreciate your reminder. But I am still persistent in my decision to invest into your website." Si Chen shook his head with a smile on his face.
"Si Chen, you may face the risk of losing all your money. Are you sure that you still want to invest?" Chen Yang tried to persuade.
Si Chen lightly chuckled as he heard Chen Yang. He had heard of bosses promoting their companies before, but this was the first time he saw someone who didn't want others to invest into their business.
He nodded his head in response, "I'm sure."
At this point of time, Chen Yang just gave a sigh. It was not as if he could completely prevent Si Chen from investing into their business. After all, he had other partners who helped him to found the website, and if they knew that he had stopped someone who had the intention to invest, he would surely be berated for that.
"How much would you like to invest then?" Chen Yang switched his tone and asked.
Si Chen's lips curled up into a smile, as he stated, "I gather that the effort you put into to create that website, along with the resources you had put in, would accumulated to a total of around $10000."
He halted for a while after he said this, and Chen Yang lightly nodded his head in agreement.
Online website developments naturally had smaller upstart cost than a restaurant, drink store, or a clothing shops, as it is merely created online, in the virtual world.
Unlike real shops, it does not require a piece of solid land to operate at, other than the occasion where a warehouse is needed to be built to store the goods which will be sold online.
Other than that, mostly everything else is done online, where creation and maintenance costs will be kept to a minimum.
"I will offer $20000 for an 80% share of the website, including the profits." Si Chen raised up his two hands, and pointed eight fingers.
Chen Yang merely looked at this in a daze, his mind reeling in shock.
"Are you sure about this?" Chen Yang regained his composure after a while, while hesitatingly asking.
$20000 was a huge sum, and it could immediately solve their imminent cash flow issues. The 80% shares did not matter that much to him, because without the cash, his website will eventually topple, and his shares will not be worth much.
Si Chen nodded his head in response, while he placed his phone down on the table. On the screen on his phone, showed his account balance.
Chen Yang looked down at the phone, and his pupils involuntarily narrowed, while he had almost cried out in shock. 
That was…so much money!                                             
He swallowed his saliva, and suppressing the utter astonishment raging about within his mind, he rubbed his hands and slowly said, "Si Chen, the scale of this matter is too huge for me to handle. After all, although I am the founder of the OnShop website, I also have quite a few partners of mine who are co-founders and had invested their time and effort into this."
"I will have to check up with them, before I can make a decision on this." Chen Yang tone of voice was especially careful, as though he was afraid that Si Chen will pull back on this deal.
"It's okay. I will give you some time for you to think about this. And about the shares…if you are willing to give more of it to me, I will naturally purchase them for a suitable price too." Si Chen warmly smiled while suggesting.
80% of the shares was a huge amount by itself, but he definitely won't mind if he could get even more, because the more he possessed, the greater benefits he received when the value of this website explodes upwards.
"I will tell them about your suggestion too. I hope you can patiently await our decision, and I will get back to you as fast as I can." Chen Yang assured while patting his chest.
"You said it yourself!" Si Chen heartily laughed.
They stayed a while for a little bit of small talk, and after they had finished consuming their drinks, they exchanged goodbyes before leaving.
Chen Yang was basically on Cloud 9 after he found out what this investment deal could mean to their store, and he was dying to call his partners back to inform them about this.
On the other hand, Si Chen was waiting to hail a cab at the roadside, and while he was waiting, he turned his head back to glance at the café that he was just in.
He remembered that while he was trying to choose which investment target to choose for his second mission, which he eventually stuck with Seafood Restaurant, the other one was a café with rather good potential.
Although he already owned a Hui Yuan Drink Store, it won't hurt him to try out investing in another beverage related shop either.
Also, a café and the Hui Yuan Drink Store had their differences, with café mostly selling coffee related drinks, along with a few deserts to top it along, while the Hui Yuan Drink Store mainly focussed on sweet and sugary drinks.
In this way, he won't have to worry about his businesses conflicting and affecting each other's businesses.
The cash on his hand was steadily growing every day, and it would be a waste to just leave it within the bank to collect the puny interest.
Rather than that, he preferred to use the money to the greatest. This could count as a side investment, while waiting for the Eternal Fashion to pick up popularity.
A cab came a while later, and he hopped onto it and went back towards his apartment, whilst his mind was still contemplating about the matter of investing into a café.

A youth, desolate and bleak. 
He had no parents, and his life was enveloped in darkness
The only brightness in his life, was his sister. 
Yet, he was unable to even give her a comfortable life. 
He had no money. 
Until a System descend onto his brain. 
And he abruptly rose like a Phoenix, and roared as mightily as a Dragon, making his presence known to the world, sending the entire business world trembling in fear. 

As a God of Investment, he shall singlehandedly build up his own business empire, and dominate and oppress the world.

Liu Fung stared at the girl in front of him.
"Who?" He asked. He doesn't know any Xiong Zhi in the entertainment industry. 
'Is she a newbie? She is pretty good. But I don't touch minors.'
"How old is she?" Liu Fung ignored Xiong Zhi and asked Gi Pieng. The man that he thought has the authority over these two.
"Um..that.." Gi Pieng doesn't know the answer. 'How old is boss?'
"It doesn't matter how old I am. I am here to tell you why my two people are tailing you." Xiong Zhi said.
Liu Fung was stunned. He studied Xiong Zhi more.
Aside from being beautiful and looked like a rich pretty girl, she's just a young girl.
"Don't bring me nonsense. Are you saying these two owners of SHM is under your command?" Liu Fung scoffed.
"Yes. I hired them to tail you because I need your schedule to know when and where we can meet. I'm here to make a deal with you." Xiong Zhi was not showing any rudeness since she was the one asking for help. She doesn't have any cards in her hands to make Liu Fung accept her proposal. All she could do now was to give a huge profit to Liu Fung to make him agreed to her proposal.
Xiong Zhi placed the folder on the table. 
"You can take your time reading this."
Liu Fung looked at the folder then to Xiong Zhi. Then to the two men who were silent all this time.
Liu Fung was not the brightest but he has his instinct in this kind of deals.
Just listening to the girl and watching her move made Liu Fung knew that the girl was not an ordinary vase.*
He took the folder and read it. 
After a while, Liu Fung's brow deepened.
"Why are you asking me for ArtWorld?" Liu Fung asked Xiong Zhi.
"Because you are one of the investors." She answered plainly. 
"Y-yeah. No. What I mean is why you, a young girl, asking me about the ArtWorld? It is a project from Xiong Empire." Liu Fung could not understand. The great Xiong Empire was sending a little girl to convince him to invest in one of their projects? He was suspicious that maybe the girl was only playing and using the Xiong Empire. 
But that couldn't happen. If the Xiong Empire knew that someone was using their name without their knowledge, the person in question would surely not be able to see tomorrow. Besides, the two SHM owners beside her was a living proof that what's she was saying was not a joke.
"Because I'm Xiong Zhi. The young miss of the Xiong family. It is a given task for me." If it's in another time and another person, Xiong Zhi wouldn't bother to answer this and would go directly to the business. But again, she needs to be patient because she was the one at a disadvantage.
Liu Fung sucked in a deep breath. He remembered that there was a young miss of Xiong. But since that young miss of legendary Xiong was not usually seen in public, the people in the upper society forgot about her. Even the young miss' name was not known. Only those who attended the Xiong banquet and Lu Yin Ze's birthday could recognize Xiong Zhi. Thus, Liu Fung who had never been there could not recognize Xiong Zhi. Or heard her name before.
"I-I apologize. I was being rude." Even though he could not really comprehend and believe the whole situation he tried to save his life first. If the girl was really the young miss and tattle tale that he was being rude to the young miss of Xiong, the Xiong family would not let him go unscathed. Better to play safe for now.
"It's alright. I can see your sincerity. I am being rude as well. I let these two tail you and bother you. Please forgive me for my rude actions." Xiong Zhi bowed as well. It was all for the proposal and the boss behind Liu Fung.
"Ah! No! No! It's fine. It's fine. How can I accept that?" Liu Fung was flustered. A Xiong apologizing to him? He could not afford to have this luxury. 
'Play safe. Play safe.' He murmured to himself.
"Mr. Liu is being kind. I'll never forget your graciousness. So..what do you think about my proposal?" Xiong Zhi asked politely.
"Ah..Ms. Xiong Zhi, to be honest, I'm planning to withdraw from ArtWorld. If you heard the news, ArtWorld will no longer be built. If I continue investing in it, I will lose a large amount of money."
"I understand. But what if ArtWorld will be constructed? "
"There's no way that can happen. The only land for ArtWorld is no longer available." Liu Fung shook his head. That said land was already under his boss.
"There is a way. ArtWorld will be taken over by another company. They are already revising ArtWorld. All I ask for you is to continue investing in ArtWorld until next month."
"I can't do that." Liu Fung doesn't believe that the failed project under the great Xiong Empire would be successful under another company. Unless if it was his boss.
"Mr. Liu, please continue investing ArtWorld until next month. I will pay all the cost you invest for that month with a 5% interest." 
Liu Fung's eyes sparkled. It was like he let her borrowed his money for a month and then return it with an interest. It's a good deal. But Liu Fung was a businessman as well. And there is a reason why his boss accepted him to be his people aside from his obedience. That was he knew how to sucked people dry.
"Hmm. But you see, money is not that issue here. I'm an investor. Investors need a reputation in order to have more business deals in the future. If news leaked out that I was investing ArtWorld that is a failure, my rivals will use this to attack me. Thus, I will be implicated." Liu Fung said with bothered expression.
"I assure you, Mr. Liu, that the new ArtWorld would not fail. Even if you stop investing, I will put your company on credits." 
"But that is an empty word. How can I trust that? I'm not taking a risk knowing it's not worth it." 
"You don't need to trust me, Mr. Liu. Tell me what you want in order for you to sign this." Xiong Zhi was done playing in circles. It seems Liu Fung would not agree to her as long as she doesn't provide a lot of profit and benefits for him. 
She chooses to be direct when it comes to giving what the other person wants. Because if she keeps giving him until he was satisfied, she would lose a lot. So it's better for her that Liu Fung state what he wants.
This move of Xiong Zhi stunned Liu Fung. He was planning to milked Xiong Zhi dry. By letting the girl gave him a suggestion after suggestion. Raising the weight of advantage in his hands. Who taught that the young girl did not take the bait and instead chose the direct method? She stopped his control of the conversation and turned it over for a clean start.
Now he was speechless. What kind of good thing he could ask so he could gain a lot? 
As he was thinking, his phone rang.
It was his private phone. Since it came from his private phone, he knew it was important. He excuses himself first and answered the call.
"Ask for a favor." A cold voice sounded on the other line.
Liu Fung was very familiar with this voice.
"P-pardon?"
"Accept the deal. Ask for a favor. No. Make it two." Then the call ended.
"..." Liu Fung was speechless. It was his boss. Did he call just to ask for a favor? A favor for what. As he entered the room and saw Xiong Zhi. The idea struck him. 
'Yeah! My boss is listening to the whole time! '
Liu Fung went back to his seat.
"Pardon me for the interruption. Then, Ms. Xiong Zhi, are you really willing to give me anything I want?"
"Yes." She answers in a deadpan manner. If it was too much she could just reject it.
"Then. I would like you to owe me two favor. I will continue investing in the ArtWorld. I have 5%interest for that whole month, and you owe me two favor. How about that?" Liu Fung said.
"Deal." Xiong Zhi does not really think twice about this favor. As long as she could do it, she would do it.
However, far in the future, this two favor would actually make her want to go back in time and never offer to owe him these two favor. 
****
Lu Jin turned off the tablet. He was staring in the air. Thinking of something.
If Guan Gao Huan did not ask him to investigate the young miss of Xiong, he would not know of her name. Nor looked at her twice. 
He already made an initial investigation of the young miss of Xiong. He trusted the results. But that results were far from what he heard today.
He thought she was just a mediocre rich girl. Silently living with her surname's wealth. Until she was married off and live a rich life. Like every other rich girl.
But he thought wrong. Based on what he heard and what he witnessed, that girl was like a ferocious owl that silently stalking its prey. He almost overlooked her. If he did, and that girl grows unnoticed by him, he would surely be taken into a big surprise.
"Huo." Lu Jin called butler Huo. 
Butler Huo bowed.
"Investigate Xiong Zhi again. Start with her routine. Look for her connections with SHM. And also-"
Lu Jin thought about the thing that he was worried about. If that girl knew of some shady business that his father done, then it would be troublesome.
"-also her connection to CJ. I want all of it."
"Yes, young master." 


Xiong Zhi ran away from her unwanted marriage.

That day, Linfeng, her aide, died while protecting her. The man who she held dearly in her heart died in her arms.

In her last breath, she uttered,

"Never again to be weak...Never again wasted our precious time...I'll promise...In the next lifetime... I will protect you...and..love you..."

The week flew by fast; Michael spent most of the time training and reading news on Tesla Motors. Finally, it was the day of the big reveal. He was watching Elon Musk's presentation live on his desktop. Elon revealed the new Model X and the Tesla Semi. 

The Model X was targeting buyers who needed a larger car than the Model S. It was a Hatchback meant for outdoor adventures. The Tesla Semi was perhaps the biggest shocker. Semi-Trucks were responsible for transporting cargo; An Electric Semi was definitely a game changer.

The crowds were going nuts. Well, they were Tesla fans so they were nuts to begin with; however, they were more frenzied than usual. The presentation ended with Elon talking about restructuring Tesla and making all the changes that Michael predicted. 

Shortly after the presentation, the articles from various business journals started flooding in.

"Tesla Motors reveals two game-changing electric vehicles that shocked all the critics. They have proven that they will be leaders of the electric car revolution."- Business Insider.

"Tesla Motors have restricted their company getting rid of dead weight. They can finally spread their wings and start flying." - Wall Street Journal.

"Tesla cars suck. I can build better electric cars in my garage." - Reddit

The stock price started climbing like crazy. All of Wall Street was talking about the Company that was going to revolutionize transportation: Tesla Motors. Finally, after two days Tesla stocks hit a high of $180 per share. Michael decided to use his call option and buy; Of course, while everyone else was paying $180 for shares; Michael was only buying at $90 per share.

After two more days, Tesla Motors became the most valuable Automotive company beating General Motors. Michael sold his Tesla Shares at $270 per share; Making a total profit of $30 million. His investment portfolio ballooned from the initial $15 million to $45 million. He had set aside $4 million for private use or he would have made even more. 

Michael was ecstatic, he wanted to upgrade the Stock Market skill to Advanced tier as soon as possible. Just the Intermediate tier made him this much money; so how profitable would Advanced Tier be?

Michael continued to look for different stocks to invest in. He encountered Allakos Pharmaceuticals. They were a fairly small company and had been developing a drug to treat a rare skin disease. The drug was being examined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); It had passed the first two trial phases with flying colors. There was only Phase three trials left before the drug could be sold in the market. 

Since there was no other medicine in the market for the rare disease, the drug would be highly profitable once it passed the trials. Michael decided to invest in the Option to buy $10 million of stock within the next month. He decided to not gamble again and start to diversify his funds to suffer fewer risks in case of failure. Michael searched for other smaller investments and diversified his account.

The FDA report came in five days later. Surprisingly the drug failed the trials; A large number of participants in the clinical trials started showing severe side effects. The drug was sent back to the lab and the company had to basically start from scratch. 

Allakos stock tanked after the unexpected disqualification of its only product. Fortunately, Michael had only bought call options so he only lost $600,000. The debacle reminded Michael that he was not a stock market expert yet. The skill still needed to be upgraded twice and his personal experience was sorely lacking. 

Michael felt like investing in the stock market was more difficult than fighting battles. The hardest part is the waiting game that happens once he chose to invest in a stock. Fortunately, the constant meditation calmed his nerves. Michael continued to invest while maintaining caution. 

Matthew Griffin was having a bad week because his personal investment account was not doing very well. He lost a lot of his money on a hyped up pharmaceutical company. He was going over his current traders when he got to the page on Michael.  Matthew was curious about the performance of the arrogant trader over the past two weeks. He noticed Michael was trading Options and smirked. Newcomers always thought that Options was an easy method with high returns; however, Options were very risky. 

When Mathew saw Michael progress over the last two weeks, he was flabbergasted. The Tesla affair had been all over the news and many traders had been excited about it. However, only experienced traders were able to accurately predict Tesla's rise; How did this newbie predict Tesla's success. Matthew credited the success to beginners luck; he could not admit that the newbie who started two weeks ago was performing better than him, who had decades of experience. 

"Let's see if you will keep getting this lucky." Matthew muttered out loud in his office.

Six Months Later

Over the past months, Michael spent all his time training and investing. He kept investing in Options and had great success. He did not always make money and had some losses because his stock market skill was not fully upgraded yet; However, for a first-time investor, he was creating miracles. Michael's initial $15 million had turned into $270 million. Michael was very happy with his progress. He transferred $70 million to the system and checked his stats.

Name: Michael Rodriguez

Strength: 8.2     
       
Intelligence: 8.4

Stamina: 8.0    
         
Agility: 8.0

Status: Healthy

Credits: 142,530,000

Michael was closer to breaking through to the Supreme stage. It had only been eleven months since breaking into Advanced stage so he would still need more time. Michael then turned his attention to the skill he had been waiting to upgrade for a long time.

[ Congratulations, You have upgraded:

Advanced Stock Market Analysis (100 million credits):  Increases probability of accurately predicting future trends of stocks to 80%. Able to distinguish stocks that are undervalued or overvalued. Can instantly learn new trading techniques. 

Intermediate Deception Detection (10 million credits): Increases chances of detecting lies, frauds, scandals, and schemes. Success rate depends on the complexity of the deception; the more complicated the deception the fewer chances you have of detecting it. 

Deducting 110,000,000 Credits; Remaining credits: 32,530,000 ]

Michael was hesitant to choose the stock market skill as the first one to upgrade to Advanced tier but he realized it was a necessary investment. He was confident that the money would start rolling in now with his 80% guaranteed success rate. Honestly, there was no point in upgrading the skill any further because if he was any more successful he would attract suspicion from very powerful figures in Wall Street. Unfortunately, he would have less time for investing because College would start from tomorrow.

Michael was just an ordinary boy living in modern-day America. He grew up in an orphanage with a bleak future. One day he acquired a mysterious package only to inherit a system. Join Michael as he changes his fate and conquers his destiny; armed with a mysterious system that tries to convince him to take over the world.

This is my first novel so I would appreciate any constructive criticism and support.


This novel will also be posted on RoyalRoad.

"Big Brother, I'm relieved to hear that. As for the fruit, I'll get someone to prepare a contract and send it over. When the time comes, you just need to sign it and leave the rest to me. " Lu Yuxi took one step at a time and carefully arranged the rest of the matters.
Big Brother trusted the young but smart girl very much. He was not afraid that she would lie to him. "Yes, I know. When the time comes, just send it over and I'll sign it. I don't understand the rest of the matters, so I'll have to trouble you. "
"It's okay. Because there are many fruits that ripen every day, I'll get someone to send the contract over as soon as possible. Oh, and... "
Lu Yu took out the card from her bag from the last time she helped ou Qi buy clothes and handed it to the big brother.
"Big Brother, there's 130,000 yuan in this card. 100,000 yuan is the deposit I gave ah raw fish. The rest should be enough to buy a small truck. After you buy the truck, you can transport the fruits that ripen every day to the downtown. Sell them according to my method for a few days first. Otherwise, before the contract arrives, you'll waste a lot of fruits. "
"This... Ah Sheng, I don't have any objections to the 100,000 yuan, but I really can't take this 30,000 yuan. " Big Brother rejected Lu Yuxi's money.
Lu Yuxi laughed helplessly, "Big Brother, you've misunderstood. I'm not giving you money to buy a car, am I not investing in your fruit? Since I'm investing, I should at least look like I'm investing. "
"I see, I almost misunderstood. "
After Ah Sheng heard that Lu Yuxi's deposit was 100,000 yuan, he was stunned for a long time, "why, why is it so much? "
Lu Yuxi smiled elegantly. She looked so demure and beautiful. "Ah Sheng, your fish are well-fed. Naturally, it's worth that much. It shouldn't be strange. "
"But this is too much. "
"Ah Sheng, let me ask you. Currently, roughly estimate how many fish you have. "
Sister Zhang could not help but interrupt. "Ah Sheng did not raise many last year, but this year, he boasted to my husband that he would buy him a small truck, so this year, he raised at least 2,000 fish. "
Ah Sheng tried his best to recall, "I really wish there were so many. Usually, my wife and I need a lot of time just to feed them. "
"since that's the case, then my 100,000 yuan deposit is simply a small amount. Think about it, the Goldgrass fish is big, and each one is about 7 catties or more. To put it simply, if it's 100 yuan per catty, then 7 catties would be 700. Then multiply it by 2,000 more fish, and that would be 1.4 million. Tell me. "
"What? More than 1 million? Miss Lu, don't try to fool me. I'm a coward. " In Zhang Shengsheng's mind, with so many fish, he could sell them for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. It was already a lot for him to buy a car, but now, more than 1 million came out.
"I didn't scare you because I won't get any benefits from scaring you, right? "
"This... "
"Okay, don't do this and that. When the time comes, I will send the contract over. " Lu Yuxi spoke in a very elegant manner. It was completely impossible to tell that she was a student.
"Miss Lu, thank you. " Zhang Shengsheng sighed. If it wasn't for Miss Lu, he might have thought that the fish he raised were so cheap that he couldn't sell them. It was she who had helped him gain recognition.
"It's okay. I'm not helping you. I'm just doing what is beneficial to the two of you. "
Lu Yuxi stood up after she finished speaking. "Alright, we still have things to do. We won't stay here any longer. We should go. "

Her wedding had also become her funeral.
Her stepsister and her fianc�� had gotten together at some point in time. It turned out that they had been the ones who had done it all along. She had been disfigured, raped, plagiarized, and her father had died in an accident.. All of this.. It turned out that they were the ones who had done it all.
She really regretted trusting the wrong person and misunderstanding the person who loved her... ...

Faced with the shadow of rape, she came to recruit them. The chicken was braised with mushrooms, and a grand party was held. She made a name for herself. She was strong. She opened a shop, bought land, and earned a lot of money to be a boss But in front of him, she was a little woman that he doted on.
"Hei di, madam ran out again. She said she wanted to earn a lot of money to buy milk powder. "
Blue veins popped up on the man's forehead. "Here it comes again. Bring her back and open a bank for her. "
