Chapter 21 A Doubling Card: Even the System Has Its Dilemmas

For the next period of time, Lu Yuan spent his time not only cultivating, but also visiting the place where Uncle Chen and the others lived.

Because the place was so dilapidated, he spent money to renovate the entire place where they lived.

During the days he helped out, Lu Yuan also received system rewards.

……

[Eighty-five days since leaving the clan, reward: a War General-level Crimson Tiger essence!]

……

[Ninety days after leaving the clan, reward: a doubling card.]

Lu Yuan woke up from his cultivation and immediately became curious about the doubling card.

"Chief, what's the use of this doubling card?"

[Double Reward Card: This card can only be used after receiving a reward. After use, the host will randomly receive a reward of 0-10 times the original amount.]

"So it's a double reward." Lu Yuan finally understood the purpose of the double reward card.

Immediately afterwards, he went to Uncle Chen and the others' residence and spent the next few days replacing electrical appliances.

……

[Ninety-five days after leaving the clan, rewarded with a Soul-level demon-slaying weapon—the Thunder-Slaying Blade!]

……

[On the 100th day since leaving the family business, a reward of 7% of the shares of the Lu Family Group in Shanghai]

……

Lu Yuan had been hoping to acquire shares in the Lu family, and to his surprise, he actually did.

Moreover, it's a 7% stake held by the Lu family.

Lu Yuan had investigated the data and found that the branch of the Lu family with the largest shareholding was Lu Mengyun's, which held 15%.

Next up is the 12% stake in the LuHai lineage.

Furthermore, there's Lu Zhiyong's 10% stake.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's seven percent stake is already considered a lot for the rest of the Lu family.

It is probably second only to the three families and the head of the family.

Once you become the head of the family, you will receive the right to use 20% of the family's shares.

This is why they are vying for the position of family head.

"Tongzi, did you acquire these shares legitimately?" Lu Yuan asked.

The shares held by the Lu family were all purchased at high prices from investors, and some were also sold by members of the Lu family themselves.

Lu Yuan nodded. In this way, his shares were justified.

Please note that the shares acquired by the host can only be sold after three years.

"I know," Lu Yuan replied, stroking his chin, while a thought popped into his mind.

"Chief, can I use a multiplier card for this reward?"

Upon hearing this, Tongzi fell silent for a moment before replying:

【Can】

"Use the doubling card!" Lu Yuan knew that the more shares he got in the Lu family, the more say he would have.

[Double-up card successfully used]

[On the 100th day since leaving the family, a reward of 49% of the shares of the Lu family in Shanghai]

The rewards have changed!

The shares I received became 49%!

"Holy shit!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but swear.

This represents 49% of the Lu family's shares, which is already half of the Lu family's empire.

If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants in the Lu family?

[Notification: The system didn't expect the host to be so lucky, receiving such a high multiplier.]

[Because the system needs to provide the host with reasonable rewards, 49% of the shares cannot be directly awarded as a reward.]

[The system needs time to gradually replenish the shares acquired by the host. Please understand.]

"???"

Lu Yuan was completely dumbfounded; he couldn't understand it at all!

"System?"

"System?"

"System??"

Lu Yuan hadn't expected that such a reward would actually put the system in a difficult position.

That makes sense, though. If we were to pursue rationality, the system would probably kill all those people.

Otherwise, how could those people possibly hand over their shares? These were the bargaining chips that gave them a voice in the Lu family.

If that's the case, the deaths of those people will naturally lead back to him, and then things will become unclear.

Lu Yuan instructed, "Master, I'm giving you one year to make up for the rewarded shares."

Try your best

"Don't be so reckless!" Lu Yuan was about to argue with the system, but it completely ignored him.

What a disappointment!

Lu Yuan wasn't in a hurry, after all, the struggle for the position of family head hadn't started yet, and he still had time to wait.

"Lu Zhiyong, didn't you want to be the head of the family?" Lu Yuan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He owns a significant number of shares in the Lu family business, so he will have decision-making power in the future.

However, his current shareholding is not enough to turn the tide; he needs more.

But the system is omnipotent.

Lu Yuan believed that Tongzi would not let him down.

……

In the living room, Lu Chen and Lu Zhiyong had just finished meeting with their guests and were continuing to drink tea.

Lu Chen asked, "I heard Lu Yuan went to Dunhuang? Apparently, he even had someone investigate the cause of his parents' deaths?"

Lu Zhiyong nodded. "I've heard about this too."

Lu Chen took a sip of tea. "You didn't forget anything in this matter, did you?"

"no."

Lu Zhiyong shook his head. "Everyone who knew about this is dead."

"This matter is of utmost importance, so don't leave any mistakes," Lu Chen said solemnly.

"There won't be any problems." Of course, Lu Zhiyong wouldn't joke about his son Lu Nian's future.

Lu Chen instructed, "If we do a good job, they will naturally give us their support, so this matter must continue to be carried out in secret."

"I have already had Lu Nian conduct a secret study, and that kind of thing will not happen again," Lu Zhiyong replied.

"Fifth brother is the same; he insists on getting involved in this matter. I've told him not to interfere, but he won't listen." Lu Chen looked at him with a disappointed expression.

The higher-ups put a lot of pressure on them, not wanting the matter to be made public, so it was suppressed.

"Since he can't find out anything, then we don't need to worry about him." Lu Chen waved his hand.

Dean Xiao had already warned Lu Yuan, so they didn't dare to make a move against him.

Lu Zhiyong didn't want to waste his time on Lu Yuan; he was more concerned about his position as head of the family.

……

The day.

Lu Yuan went to the black market in Dunhuang.

He had a lot of materials he didn't need, so he sold them all on the black market.

He earned over 30 million from the items he sold.

With the rewards from these past few days, Lu Yuan's personal savings have already surpassed a small milestone.

Now, with another 30 million coming in, the slush fund has reached over 130 million.

Lu Yuan thought to himself, "I can buy a Star River Vein now."

The Star River Vein is an aid for advancing from the intermediate to the advanced level; using it to advance can increase the probability of a breakthrough.

But it's too early for Lu Yuan to consider this now, because he is only a mid-level mage at the moment.

Moreover, he receives rewards every day, and perhaps he can also receive rewards from the Star River Vein.

If Lu Yuan were to sell all the shares he held in various companies, he could easily buy dozens of Star River Veins.

Lu Yuan walked out of the black market and checked on the situation of the light-element stardust.

"It looks like I'll break through in a few days."

Lu Yuan's light system is currently only at the second level of the initial stage. If he breaks through again, he will reach the third level of the initial stage.

He has been in Dunhuang for over a month now, hoping to break through to the intermediate level of the Light element before returning to Shanghai.

"Seeing that simple cultivation isn't enough, I'll have to join a group for training next," Lu Yuan thought to himself.
