‘A backer?
‘From the Imperial Capital?’
Su Yang knitted his brows. For some reason, he had a strange feeling. ‘Could this matter be related to me?
‘Could it be the Fengs?
‘I doubt it would be so coincident, could it?’
Su Yang recalled the Fengs affairs. The reason why he had a feud with the Fengs was because of their illegitimate son, Zhao Xiao. Zhao Xiao had planned to build Longteng Jiayuan, yet because of the negative influence from the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass], Su Yang had interfered in the matter and had gotten involved deeper and deeper.
Afterwards, when Zhao Xiao died, the Fengs sent another group of assassins against Su Yang, but they were all killed by him easily.
‘After that, the Fengs did not make any more moves.
‘In fact, I’ve always thought that everything is over. But on second thought, the matter has only just happened 2 months ago.
‘2 months is neither a long nor short amount of time passed.
‘Based on the complicated structure of a large organization, it’s very likely that they are still discussing their own measures or being held back by something else. Therefore, it’s only normal that they are taking a longer time to have their revenge.’
Whenever he thought about the Guos and the Yins, Su Yang would feel as though it was a lifetime ago. That was because he had been developing too quickly recently and experienced too many things. Hence, he always felt that time passed very slowly.
‘Now that I think about it, it has only been half a month since the internal strife caused by [In] Company, so it’s only normal for the matter to reach its climax.
Previously, I was still too weak to interfere during [In] Company’s internal strife. Now… Could I try interfering and causing some ruckus?
‘After all, on the business side, my Findme app and [In] app are both social apps that share pictures, so we are direct competitors. On the personal side, I’ve got a personal grudge with Mr. Sun. I won’t feel satisfied if I don’t kick him in while he’s down!
‘But… How am I going to handle this?’
Su Yang pondered. ‘I haven’t been able to build up a team for my Findme app company. Would I be able to poach their team over?
‘After poaching them, they would definitely know more about [In] Company’s internal situation than me. When that happens, I’ll be able to attack them internally, then it’ll be child’s play to get Mr. Sun down in the dumps.
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said to Little Bun, “Mrs. Bun, you should try to get in touch with the core team of [In] Company over the next few days. See if they have any intentions of coming over to our company.”
Li Zijun was no longer bothered by the nickname that Su Yang had just given her. She asked in surprise, “Mr. Su, are you intending to poach them?”
Su Yang replied, “It’s not exactly poaching. Haven’t they all been fired? In that case, we’d merely be accepting them. After all, I’ve thought about it. Our technology company doesn’t seem to have any teams, so it’s time to recruit some people.”
Li Zijun said, “Okay.”
After everything was settled, Su Yang and Li Zijun chatted for a while more before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang got No. 18 to send him a small blanket. He sat quietly on the floor and waited for Little Hus to finish adding its point.
Su Yang was still fantasizing as he looked at it. ‘The cocoon is much rounder than Little Deeny’s. It’s even coupled with lines, making it look like a basketball…’
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed. The ball-shaped cocoon of light that was quietly floating in the air suddenly fell to the ground. Then, with a cracking sound, it shattered…
The cocoon of light shattered, turning into dots of light before disappearing, leaving Little Hus the cloth-made dog lying silently on the ground.
Su Yang looked at the cocoon of light on the ground and felt a sense of sadness…
Su Yang shook his head and dispelled the sudden wave of emotions in his mind. At the same time, a notification popped up in front of Su Yang. [Bolster+4: Ability Enhancement]
‘It’s such a simple notification.
‘Compared to Little Deeny, who had 3 or 4 new functions added after just 1 point added, Little Hus’s is as shabby as ever.
‘However, I’m already used to it.
‘I’ve already done a study once when I gave the little monsters+3. Each monster has its own potential, and the “thing” that gets added each time will be different. For example, Little Deeny is top notched. Every time she gets a point added, she would gain new abilities and functions, and it had never been less than 3 changes.
‘Little Hus, on the other hand, is right at the bottom. There would always be some “useless points”. For example, the size change last time and its subsequent changes were all useless abilities.
‘It’s a little monster that incurs more loss than profit…
‘However… when it comes to potential, I’ve suddenly realized something. Little Hus’s notification did not mention the words [Maximum Point Achieved]!
‘Both Little Deeny and the [Burning Reincarnation Circus (Jin Jin)] have already shown this. This proves that the both of them have reached their upper limit of points and could no longer receive any more points.
‘Yet Little Hus actually hasn’t?
‘Could it still go +5? +6?’
At that moment, Su Yang was caught up in his own weird logic. ‘So, which one of them has more potential? Little Hus or Little Deeny?
‘If I have 4 10 yuan notes in one hand and 8 50 yuan notes in the other, which hand is more valuable?
‘That’s not right, if Little Deeny rates at 100 points with each point added, Little Hus probably isn’t even worth 20 points.
‘And every time it gets another point added onto it, I would have to waste another [Random Point].’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang came up with a new definition for Little Hus. “Potential Loss”.
“Achoo!””Achoo!”, Little Hus sneezed on the ground before It shook its head and got up from the ground.
After getting up, it quickly lowered its head to look at its body, only to find… nothing had changed.
The silly dog instantly burst into tears. “Wu! Why haven’t I become a dog again!”
Su Yang stood up and walked over. He did not dare to touch its head. “Come, tell me what are the changes in your abilities before you start crying.”
Little Hus squatted on the ground and said listlessly, “It hasn’t changed much. It just increased a part of my ability. I can smell investments 8 times a day now and I can smell the different levels of potential.”
Su Yang was curious. “The different levels of potential?”
Little Hus nodded its cloth-made dog head. “That’s right. For example, the SUNDAY stock that I smelled earlier. We’ve analyzed it for a long time, but we didn’t know what the fragrance of this stock meant. But I know now.”
Su Yang asked, “What do you know?”
Little Hus said, “I know what the start, middle and end fragrance of this stock means.”
It continued to explain, “If a stock has a lot of potential, it won’t lose its fragrance after it hits its upper limit. Instead, it will become a more mild fragrance.”
“After it reaches its upper limit, I can now smell its future developments. Each fragrance is usually divided into 10 days. In other words, the start, middle, and end each represent 10 days.
“SUNDAY will have an intensive start, stabilizing in the middle before becoming mellow towards the end. This means that this stock will hit its upper limit greatly for the first 10 days, with a high chance that it will continue to rise after. During the middle 10 days, it will stop hitting its upper limit, but it will continue to rise very steadily. In the last 10 days, even though the increase will not be as terrifying as the beginning, it will still continue to hit its upper limit. Furthermore, there are many people who are willing to buy it, even if you sell non-stop.”
Su Yang caught Little Hus’s message. “So you’re saying that this stock will continue to rise for close to a month after it stops rising on Friday?”
Little Hus nodded. “Yes, yes. At least one month.”
Su Yang was shocked. ‘Xu Lu’s cousin has managed to dig out a Godlike stock! It’s going to continue rising for more than a month. This stock is probably going to become the leading stock in the entire stock market, isn’t it?’
‘How much would my 70 million yuan turn into if I invest in this? 100 million yuan?
‘Furthermore, this is different from VIMICRO that he chose previously. Previously, I had bought VIMICRO because its market value is relatively small and there aren’t as many leeks who would buy off the stock, hence I managed to suppress the stock price constantly when I sold off my stocks.
‘This time, it looks like I’ll be able to earn more.
‘How much would I be able to earn exactly?’
At that thought, Su Yang began looking forward to what would happen 1 month later…
‘Maybe, I’ll have the chance to have a drastic change 1 month later!
‘Should I take this opportunity to complete a Silver Mission?
‘Now that I think of this, I’m an absolute genius!’
Therefore, he did not care about Little Hus who was in a daze. He raised his hands and shouted, “I want to earn 50 million yuan!”
The system ignored Su Yang.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘100 million yuan is a little too much though.
‘But, the stock is going to hit its upper limit for 1 month, coupled with “Wolf Warriors”, it shouldn’t be a big problem…’
At that thought, Su Yang raised his arms and shouted, “I want to earn 100 million yuan!”
[Silver Mission: A Small Target]
Mission Objective: Earn 100 million yuan in a single project.
Mission Time: 3 months.
Mission Completion State: Not completed.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Is it too late to regret now?
‘100 million yuan in a single project?
‘That’s insane!
‘This means I have to earn double in stocks!
‘Moreover, it has to be doubled after the Silver Mission is completed on top of that!
‘If it’s the movie, it will be equivalent to “Wolf Warrior” being sold for at least 700 to 800 million yuan. How’s that possible!?
‘The system is probably trying to teach me a lesson for being too arrogant.’
He sat on the ground and leaned against Little Hus.
“Sigh…”
“Sigh…”
Both man and dog sighed at the same time. The emotions they felt at that moment were extremely similar.
Su Yang looked at it. “Why are you sighing?”
Little Hus said, “I want to become a human. If I can’t become a human, a dog’s fine.”
Su Yang took out a small box with a ribbon tied on top from his pocket. “This is for you.”
Little Hus had a confused look on its face.
Su Yang presented the gift box towards its paw. Little Hus used its paw to press on the box.
Su Yang sighed as he stood up and left.
Looking at Su Yang’s back from behind, Little Hus blinked its eyes. It did not understand what Su Yang was doing.
‘He’s giving me a present?
‘A weasel pays his respects to a chicken… Because it wants to eat the chicken?’
At that thought, Little Hus frowned and its face revealed the unique expression that only a husky would have. Then, it bit the box and started to tear it apart.
“Scratch, scratch.”
A moment later, the box was torn and a piece of plaster and a piece of paper fell out.
Little Hus fiddled with the plaster and the piece of paper a few times before looking at the note in confusion. Then… Its eyes slowly lit up!
In the end, it jumped up and shouted at Su Yang’s back, “Su Yang! You’re such a good person! You’ll be able to eat instant noodles with condiments! You’ll even have 10 packets of condiments in 1 packet of instant noodles!”
Su Yang stumbled and almost fell…
The next day, Su Yang only woke up in the afternoon. It was the best sleep he had in the past 2 weeks.
‘The [Three Days Without Sleep Halo] isn’t as good as I had imagined. Although I could replenish my energy at critical moments, sleep really is 1 of the greatest gifts from heaven.
‘If a person doesn’t sleep, especially if it isn’t a good night’s sleep, their life would not be complete!
‘I’ve decided, unless I have something important to do in the future, I’ll try not to use the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo] anymore.’
With that thought, he went downstairs to find something to eat.
The moment he went downstairs, Su Yang saw a golden figure flash past.
He was stunned. ‘Eh? Jin Jin?
‘Jin Jin has turned golden today?
‘Eh?
‘Have I yet to check out the new functions of [Burning Reincarnation Circus] ever since it had its point added?
‘Those new functions all seemed very interesting!
‘Why don’t I activate it today and have a look?’
