After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

【Wow, you're a pro! You don't need that many gold coins! I'll disable your gold coin usage in this auction for you!】

[By the way, you have two million gold coins in system funds. To compensate for the temporary closure of the gold coin payment function, you will be given two top-grade Starstones worth two million gold coins.]

[However, these two top-grade Starshine Stones don't seem to be enough for you to buy all the items in the auction house. Hey! I have a suggestion: you can exchange your personal wealth for ten times the amount of system gold coins. This is a one-time opportunity. Will you take it or leave it?]

【Exchange/Don't Exchange】

Upon seeing the second option, Mu Qiu's eyelids twitched.

What do you mean?

So you're eyeing my personal wealth now?

You want to convert my hard-earned personal wealth into system funds? No way!

"No! Absolutely no!"

Chapter Ninety-Six: The most important thing in life is to forget your roots!

Mu Qiu pressed the "confirm" button heavily on the "no change" option with his mind.

Then he heard the system's guidance voice sound again.

[You rejected this proposal. Your system has plenty of funds; perhaps you're planning a highly efficient investment!]

Here are three more investment plans I have here. Which one would you like to choose?

Ok?

Another investment plan?

Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow heavily.

He is familiar with this.

In his last investment plan, he confidently chose a scheme that would maximize his losses and involve the most investment!

Then the system told him that it was the system that was investing in him!

He even said to him, "Hey! My investment was a success!"

Could this investment also be for him?

Mu Qiu looked at the two investment plans provided by the system with great caution.

At this moment, the middle-aged pastor saw that Mu Qiu was no longer speaking and was looking thoughtful. He knew that this gentleman must have something on his mind, so he wisely did not disturb him and turned to leave.

The sound of the middle-aged priest's footsteps as he left reminded Mu Qiu that this was not an inn. Standing still in the temple would make him look like a strange person to outsiders. He called Vera and Fiona to follow him, and while walking out of the temple, he focused his attention on the system interface.

[Investment Option 1: Trust-Based Investment]

Trust-based investment: You believe your slaves will earn you rich returns and will never let you down!

Choose a slave you trust and invest one million gold coins into the system funds.

When the other party's losses reach one million gold coins, you will incur an additional loss of one million gold coins.

If the other party earns one million gold coins, you will earn an additional one million gold coins.

After making continuous trust-based investments, the leverage function can be unlocked.

(One more trust-based investment is needed before the 2x leverage feature can be enabled.)

……

[Investment Option Two: Insurance-type Investment.]

Insurance-type investment: Your slaves may not necessarily earn gold coins for you; in fact, they may cause you to suffer losses.

Your investment and consumption of slaves will not be considered a loss.

However, if the slave breaks the slave contract with you and escapes from your side, all your previous investments and expenses in the slave will be considered as losses.

Choose a slave to whom you have invested a large sum of money, purchase insurance worth one million gold coins to hedge against risk, and ensure that you will not go bankrupt due to the slave's escape.

When your slaves cause you losses, this insurance will give you a return equivalent to 50% of your investment in slaves, up to a maximum of ten million gold coins.

By continuously making insurance-type investments, you can unlock higher-level insurance policies.

(An insurance-type investment is needed before the two million insurance feature can be launched.)

……

[Investment Plan Three: All-in Investment]

All-in investment: High risk, high return is your motto. You believe that the slaves you invest in will always follow you and will never let you go bankrupt!

Choose a slave you have invested a huge sum of money in and invest your personal wealth of one million gold coins.

When a slave escapes, you will lose an additional ten million gold coins.

When a slave betrays you, you will lose an additional ten million gold coins.

When the slaves return, you will earn an extra ten million gold coins.

You will earn an extra 20 million gold coins when a slave decides to remain loyal to you forever.

(One more investment of any type is required before the two million gold coin all-in feature can be unlocked.)

……

Below the three investment plans, there are two lines of bold text.

[Multiple investments can be made in the same slave, and the investment amounts will accumulate, resulting in corresponding increases in both losses and profits.]

Furthermore, in all types of investment plans, regardless of whether there is a loss or a profit, personal wealth will be normally transferred.

"oh?!"

Mu Qiu was somewhat surprised to see these three investment plans.

"The system didn't try any tricks on me this time with its investment plan?"

This time, the rules for all three investment plans were clearly explained.

It was he who invested in slaves.

It seems... there shouldn't be any traps.

[Host, you have accumulated more than twice your initial capital in system funds, proving you are a skilled investor. Therefore, different investment plans will be opened for you. As the rank of the slaves you invest in increases, or as your accumulated system funds increase, you will continue to be provided with investment opportunities.]

Me? Me?

Am I an investment expert?

Mu Qiu expressed his doubts.

Isn't this all because the system is rushing to give him gold coins?

Moreover, he doesn't want to make money; he just wants to lose money until he goes bankrupt!

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu's gaze naturally fell on the bottom line of small print.

"In all types of investment plans, whether there are losses or profits, personal wealth will be normally transferred?!"

Before he knew it, he and Vera and the others had walked out of the temple gates.

The blinding sun outside the hall made Mu Qiu squint again as he carefully examined each rule displayed on the system interface.

"Master, there seems to be something fun over there!"

Vera seemed to have noticed something and pulled him toward the right side of the square.

Mu Qiu's attention was focused on the system interface, and he didn't notice Vera's actions, letting her pull his arm.

"All three options are good."

"But what I want is not profit, but loss!"

Mu Qiu has not forgotten his original aspiration.

If you make a profit and earn one million in system funds, it's equivalent to only earning one million in system funds and ten thousand in personal wealth.

A loss of one million in system funds is equivalent to a net gain of one million in personal wealth!

At the same time, as long as he goes bankrupt, he can still earn another 100 million yuan in personal wealth!

Moreover, the system funds can only help him accumulate interest, but cannot be converted into personal wealth.

Only personal wealth can be used to purchase items in the system store!

To amass a personal fortune of 100 million, you either need to make a profit of 10 billion or lose 1 million!

Is it easier to make a profit of 10 billion or to lose 1 million?

It's clearly the latter!

Is it really more difficult to lose a million gold coins than to earn ten billion?

"Returning to Earth from the intermediate shop requires two billion gold coins."

"Immortality also requires two billion gold coins to exchange."

Mu Qiu thought to himself.

If he relies solely on profits, he would need to earn 400 billion gold coins to return to Earth with his immortality and everything he possessed in the other world.

Just think about it and you'll know how difficult this task is.

However, if he were to lose money, he only needed to lose 40 million of the system funds and go bankrupt to redeem these two items!

Therefore, he should choose an investment plan that maximizes his losses!

Option 1 is a trust-based investment.

The more the slaves earn, the more he profits.

The more the slaves lose, the more he will lose!

"Trust-based investment, you can invest in Luna!"

Mu Qiu thought to himself.

Judging from Luna's greedy appearance, she probably won't run away from him. She might even occasionally drop some gold coins from him!

As long as she can incur losses, I can double the amount of those losses!

Investment plans that can accelerate losses are a must-have!

Option two is an insurance-type investment.

If the slave incurs a loss, he will receive half of the loss as profit to hedge against the risk and ensure that he does not go bankrupt.

Mu Qiu immediately ruled out this type of investment.

What he wants is bankruptcy, so isn't this risk hedging affecting his bankruptcy plan?

The last option is Mu Qiu's favorite all-in investment!

"All in is great, I love all in!"

Mu Qiu plans to make an all-in investment for Fiona.

Although this would cost him one million in personal wealth, if Fiona escapes in the future and does not return to his side, he would lose an additional ten million in system funds!

Not only would it grant him ten million in personal wealth, it would also greatly accelerate his bankruptcy process!

Moreover, Mu Qiu remembered that Fiona once said that she had a close friend in the Kingdom of Dolaken, who was the princess of that kingdom.

The Orion Empire and the Kingdom of Dorakon are currently at war. With the Kingdom's military strength, it is no match for the Orion Empire and is only struggling to hold on.

think about it.

The contract will be automatically dissolved when Fiona becomes a legend.

Once she regains her freedom, she will surely be eager to leave his side, head to the capital of Dolaken, descend from the sky on a giant dragon, and rescue the princess like a heroic knight in an adventure story.

Will Fiona come back by then?

No more!
