Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 445 - 444 Big Scam

Accompanying Zhou Bai's narration, intelligence continuously waned. The likes of Yan Shan in front of him felt as if they were hearing about a future paved with gold, a shortcut to wealth.

"Is this the golden future, then?" Zhou Bai patted Qian Wangsun on the shoulder, who immediately said, "This is just the beginning. Once we have earned enough capital, then we can gather funds again, expand production, open a branch in Donghua City after expanding, and then expand further and open another branch in Beihai City.

Once we have branches in the four major cities, we'll split the branches and continue to fundraise.

At that time, money will generate more money, and buying the Heavenly Court isn't impossible."

Yan Shan exclaimed in shock, "Buying the Heavenly Court?" Those four words seemed to carry a magical force, directly rendering the gods present dazed as if drunk, their eyes brimming with boundless longing.

Zhou Bai clapped his hands and said, "Alright, alright, the future is bright, though the path is circuitous. Does anyone still have questions now?"

Yan Shan: "Right, Brother Zhou, did you create these Guiding Black Viruses? Didn't you use them to defeat everyone at the Four Schools Tournament?"

"Of course not," Zhou Bai replied with a wry smile. "The Guiding Black Virus isn't just any natural treasure; how could I have possibly concocted it myself?"

"Let me introduce everyone to Master Gu Tianle, not only a business genius but also a senior monk at the Plague Department and the initiator of the Twilight Taoist Skill excavation project.

It was he who, after years of research, accidentally discovered the secret of the Guiding Black Virus from an ancient royal recipe, then restored and improved the ancient method of refining the Guiding Black Virus."

"The refining process of the Guiding Black Virus is extremely complicated, consuming countless natural treasures; it is indeed of great value."

"But Master Gu does not wish to profit from the Guiding Black Virus; instead, he hopes to use it to benefit all humanity, offering growth opportunities to the true talents."

"Quite clearly, all of you present are the talents among talents."

Zhou Bai: "Mr. Yan, can you bring people to buy the Guiding Black Virus?"

Yan Shan excitedly said, "No... no problem, with such a great product, many people will be interested. I feel I've found the career I can devote my life to."

Zhou Bai: "..." He patted Yan Shan's shoulder, "Give it your all, your father will certainly be proud of you."

Yan Shan: "First... first give me ten bottles; that'll make me a silver-tier customer, right?"

Zhou Bai smiled faintly, ten bottles of Guiding Black Virus, that's 100 Ice Heart Pills.

Zhou Bai quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, after becoming a silver-tier customer, you will receive one Ice Heart Pill per week as a benefit. It'll pay for itself in two years, and everything after that is pure profit. So, this is not a purchase, it's a loan; you loan me 100 Ice Heart Pills, and I can give you a wealthy future."

"Investing in the Guiding Black Virus is the best financial strategy, the more you invest, the more worthwhile it gets."

Clearly, Zhou Bai's use of the word "loan" was deliberate, activating his Disaster of Poverty ability, making Yan Shan utterly convinced of everything before him.

After he finished, he turned to Yan Shan's brother, Yan Hai, and said, "Yan Hai, why don't you also take ten bottles of the Guiding Black Virus, just consider it a loan of 100 Ice Heart Pills; it won't take long to pay for itself."

Yan Hai hesitated a bit and said, "I don't have that many Ice Heart Pills on hand."

Zhou Bai: "If you don't have enough pills, make up for it with magical treasures. You still have treasures, right? Just mortgage them to me; isn't that fine?"

Seeing that the other party was still somewhat hesitant, obviously, this investment was far beyond the limit of Disaster of Poverty, showing that Yan Hai was much poorer than his brother Yan Shan.

So Zhou Bai said, "I myself have bought 20 bottles of Guiding Black Virus, mortgaging my entire wealth to Master Gu."

"Yan Hai, you should cherish this opportunity, not everyone gets such a chance."

"How about you loan me some Ice Heart Pills to buy the Guiding Black Virus? Any profit made will be considered yours."

Yan Hai: "Ten bottles!"

And so, under the dual influence of the Disaster of Poverty and Foolishness, brothers Yan Shan and Yan Hai each bought ten bottles of the Guiding Black Virus, and the other gods present also each bought a bottle.

However, some people didn't have extra Ice Heart Pills, so they all opted to trade with various other treasures and elixirs.

In just over an hour, Zhou Bai harvested 35,000 points worth of elixirs and treasures.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, "If all of this were exchanged, that would be a whopping 700,000 laziness points. Why would I even bother fighting the Heavenly Demon? Doing business honestly indeed earns more money than fighting every day."

"But for now, I can't exchange them all. I need to keep a batch of Ice Heart Pills for the next turnover."

In Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness, Christina exclaimed, "This is such a huge profit."

Zhou Bai said, "Making money for nothing, of course, it's profitable, huh. Next, they will continue to refer divine beings here to buy the Guihai Black Sin, and then the income will be even greater."

Christina, "Zhou Bai! I want to invest a bit too. This investment opportunity is so good, do you think I can also buy ten bottles of Guihai Black Sin? Then I can just wait every week to collect Ice Heart Pills."

Zhou Bai, "..." After a few seconds of silence, he angrily said, "Haven't I told you this is to scam these divine beings!! How come you still fell for it!!"

Christina looked baffled, then deeply disappointed, "Ah? It's a scam?"

Zhou Bai, "Of course! Isn't this just robbing Peter to pay Paul, and then fleeing after selling everything to earn laziness points? By the way, I use the Guihai Black Sin to harvest their luck. If any divine being in Daluo Heaven uses the Guihai Black Sin they bought from me, wouldn't I be guaranteed to win?

This is killing three birds with one stone. I've explained it to you before, how did you still fall for it?"

Christina collapsed in the sea of consciousness, sighing, "Ah... I thought I was going to be rich. You had me all fired up just now, ready to make a big move. What a waste of my enthusiasm."

Zhou Bai, frustrated, said, "Making money my foot, this is the most basic scam. I explained it to you before I bragged about it, and yet you, silly cat, still fell for it."

"Why do you think I specifically asked them to call over only divine beings? Because if this scam were to escalate, it would inevitably hurt many ordinary cultivators."

"But it's no problem for the divine beings; these guys have been squeezing people dry for so long, it's about time I squeezed them back."

"But I guess it won't be possible to completely dry them out. In two or three weeks, I'll have to flee using the identity of Gu Tianle. By then, the entire heavenly court and the four major cities will likely ban such activities from happening again.

However, these two or three weeks should be enough for me to fill in all the stars in my diagram, and there'll still be some laziness points left."

Seeing everyone had sold the Guihai Black Sin, Zhou Bai chuckled, "Everyone check the goods."

Yan Shan, "Hey! What's there to check? Can't I trust you and Master Gu? We are all brothers; there's no need to check."

Zhou Bai quickly said, "Even close brothers settle accounts clear; you still have to check the goods. If there's a problem, Master Gu can help you replace them right here."

Zhou Bai gave a nod, and Qian Wangsun, who had been blocking his ears, immediately nodded in understanding.

Under Zhou Bai's urging, Yan Shan opened the bottle and poured out the Guihai Black Sin, which stuck to Yan Shan. Instantly, strands of luck began to emerge from Yan Shan's body and finally entered Zhou Bai's body.

"Yan Shan, this kid has quite some luck, doesn't he? It's okay for me to take a bit."

While harvesting this wave of luck, Zhou Bai urged the others to also check the goods.

In just a short time, Zhou Bai harvested a large amount of luck, nearly reaching his limit, so he immediately thought and stopped the operation of harvesting luck with the Guihai Black Sin.

Having finally harvested the elixirs, treasures, and luck, Zhou Bai said to the present crowd, "Everyone, from now on, we are all family striving together. From today onwards, we are all brothers and sisters, selling Guihai Black Sin together, moving towards prosperity. Next, please welcome Master Gu Tianle to say a few words!"

Accompanied by Zhou Bai patting Qian Wangsun's shoulder, Qian Wangsun also stood up, no longer using his Primordial Spirit to block his ears.

Although he couldn't hear anything just now, watching the actions of Zhou Bai and Yan Shan, Qian Wangsun could generally understand what was happening.

'Zhou Bai, this guy...' Qian Wangsun was still filled with shock, 'How did he do it? What exactly did he say? How could such a ridiculous plan work? This mouth of his... could probably convince you that black is white.'

While thinking, Qian Wangsun also didn't idle and spoke to the crowd, "Everyone, a new history will be created by our hands. I hope that in a few years, everyone sitting here will no longer have to worry about wealth..."
