Cosmic-Level Demon God

"Since that's the case! Old Liang, watch me pull off something big for you this round!"

...

...

"This feeling of being second place is quite novel."

Zhou Yuanchen sat inside the aircraft and opened the panoramic skylight overhead, looking up at the exclusive high-level traffic route.

He sighed:

"The leader of the Top 100 tournament, being broadcasted live all over Heng Province, the commercial value is off the charts, the funds it can mobilize are unimaginable."

Just imagining the continuous influx of sponsorships, like a flood breaking through a dam, rushing towards him.

Zhou Yuanchen couldn't help but feel exhilarated.

Ever since the last in-depth conversation with Qin Shi.

He started to seriously reflect and strive to perfect the "borrowing" technique he had developed along the way.

From it, he comprehended a new ultimate move - "fundraising"!

"Borrowed money has to be repaid sooner or later! And it also comes with the heavy burden of interest! Mr. Qin was right, one person's power is ultimately limited, no matter how hard you work, you can't keep up with the snowballing debt!"

Zhou Yuanchen pondered:

"I must leverage others' funds to repay the loans I borrowed!"

This was the enlightenment he gained from the setback of failing in the Top 100 tournament, the subsequent exchange of experiences with Qin Shi, and then a period of long-term reflection!

"Xiao Zhou, don't feel disheartened, everyone has their moments of glory. The real scorching sun is about who can fulfill their potential! Who can go further!"

Seeing Zhou Yuanchen staring blankly at the traffic route of the tournament leader, Zhou Shu quickly comforted him.

He thought the Education Department's supernova hadn't yet shaken off the shadow of being defeated in the Top 100 tournament.

"Director Zhou, I don't consider Mr. Qin as my lifetime rival. My future lies in the Star Sea, my opponent should be the first place in the Star Cup Junior Group, Yu Li!"

Zhou Yuanchen displayed his arrogant side, following Qin Shi's advice to show off as much as possible.

Packaging himself as the only genius capable of preventing the rise of Tai'an Metropolitan Area's supernova!

This way, he could secure a continuous influx of resources from the Education Department!

"Good, good! Xiao Zhou, with this ambition, your achievements will be limitless! When you reach the heights, don't forget to pull your brother up!"

Zhou Shu was very excited. Recently, he had heard rumors that he might be transferred from Central City to participate in the infrastructure work of the latest round of expansion campaigns.

Such a miserable result, almost like exile, was unacceptable to Zhou Shu.

But the long-appreciated Education Department head, Mo Qihuan, was out of contact, so he could only place his hopes on the supernova, Zhou Yuanchen.

"A rather suitable target for fundraising."

Zhou Yuanchen glanced at him and said kindly:

"Brother Zhou, I have come this far, thanks to your help, Yuan Chen has always remembered. If there's anything I can help with in the future, feel free to ask!"

Hearing Zhou Yuanchen address him as "brother," Zhou Shu was even more excited.

The words of a rising star in the Education Department would never be of low credibility.

At that time, pulling himself from the grassroots back to the Central City should not be difficult!

"Please don't say such distant words! I've always admired and had high hopes for you, Xiao Zhou, you have to work harder and regain what you've lost from Qin Shi!"

Zhou Shu gritted his teeth; had it not been for the Top 100 tournament allowing the dark horse from Nanhuang Daoist School to break through, he wouldn't have fallen to this state.

"Of course! No matter how deep his potential, limitless his future, he hasn't yet crossed the threshold of a Specialized Domain! In the Martial Arts Path, a quick start means you're always ahead, he may not catch up to me!"

After saying these insincere words, Zhou Yuanchen coughed twice and got to the point:

"Speaking of which, Brother Zhou, as a mainstay of the Education Department, you must have quite a few resource quotas, right?

Recently, I have a high-return project, would you like to participate?"

Zhou Shu was stunned; such an obvious scam line, coming from Zhou Yuanchen, made him hesitant to refuse.

So he tentatively asked:

"What project?"

Zhou Yuanchen took out his mobile terminal and opened an app:

"EveryoneInvest! This is my latest endorsed project! No threshold, low risk, high return! Even if you only have ten thousand bucks, you can join in!"

Zhou Shu squinted, looking at the center of the interface, the endorser was Zhou Yuanchen.

Below detailed identity information, various high-end-sounding titles, and achievements since childhood.

"Smart investment, shared wealth!"

"EveryoneInvest assists in stable asset appreciation, creating a new ecosystem for inclusive finance and opening up a new way of wealth management!"

"Invest in the future with EveryoneInvest, win-win for a new era of integrity..."

"Funds raised: 160 million..."

Zhou Shu muttered these seemingly enchanting slogans, feeling odd.

This project seemed like a fundraising platform, focusing on profiting through investing in "geniuses".

As long as Zhou Yuanchen's value kept rising, the estimation would increase continually, and the investors' money would keep rolling and doubling.

"How about it, Brother Zhou? Many in the Education Department want to join the project, but I haven't shared it with anyone, our relationship is special, so I wanted to introduce it to you."

Zhou Yuanchen highly recommended it.

"Your project platform, it doesn't seem to have Tai Monarch's certification?"

Zhou Shu was very hesitant.

"Brother Zhou, everyone wants to make money! Precisely because this project is in its initial stage, the return rate is high.

Once it receives Tai Monarch's certification and officially goes online, big companies and bosses will come to take a share, they eat meat, we won't even get the soup!"

Zhou Yuanchen used well-practiced lines, his tone fervent and full of persuasive power.

"This..."

Zhou Shu was still hesitating.

"Brother Zhou, you don't trust me, do you?"

Zhou Yuanchen's face darkened, and his voice became cold.

"You think I can't surpass Qin Shi in the future? Can't become Heng Province's number one supernova?"

Zhou Shu panicked instantly, if he were still an office director under the Education Department, he need not fear offending Zhou Yuanchen.

But times have changed, he was about to be transferred to the outskirts, far from Central City.

Zhou Yuanchen was his only lifeline!

"I absolutely trust your abilities and performance!"

Zhou Shu quickly said.

"How do I go about EveryoneInvest? I'm willing to invest a bit, Xiao Zhou, teach me."

Zhou Yuanchen immediately smiled, his attitude changing for the better:

"Brother Zhou, it's a rare opportunity to make big money, we must seize the windfall! This is General Manager Wang from a Central City real estate company, he has increased his investment, and in less than half a month, it has already doubled!

You've worked hard at the Education Department for so many years, besides the resource quotas, your personal asset allocation isn't small, right?"

Zhou Shu, seeing one successful case after another below, couldn't help but feel his excitement rising.

"Xiao Zhou, I believe in you! I'll follow your lead!"

All in!

...

...

Beep beep beep beep beep beep——

As Qin Shi was about to reach the floating island, his Sea of Consciousness received a slight fluctuation.

He closed his eyes pretending to rest, his spirit submerged in the Inner Realm.

The orange puppy's tail stood up like an antenna wire.

Picking it up, it turned out to be a stream of transaction notifications.

"Old Zhou did a good job! He really has the potential to be a sales champion!"

After a deep conversation with Zhou Yuanchen, Qin Shi used the prowess of the upper pillar, Divine Machine, and its achievement in Electronic Engineering to create a small platform to help raise funds.

He had discussed with Zhou Yuanchen that there was no need to profit from the poor, only harvest high-quality rich "leeks" like these.

In less than half a month since its launch, the fundraising amount was nearing two billion.

"Money isn't the main issue. The main hope is that Old Zhou makes a strong push, grows big and strong, and gets to the main stage of Central City as soon as possible."

As a supernova in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area and a gold-level customer of Entropy Sea Bank, the resources and funds Qin Shi could leverage were nearly a hundred billion.

He left Zhou Yuanchen far behind.

He was willing to help Old Zhou alleviate his debt pressure because of the latter's identity as a rising star in the Education Department.

"Ying Lin has already been eliminated, up next is the Director of Education, Mo Qihuan..."

As Qin Shi pondered, the aircraft landed smoothly, and he and Yu Weiwei emerged from the cabin, stepping onto the soft long carpet.

A red "road" spread out beneath their feet, extending to the majestic banquet hall.

"Junior Brother Qin, tonight's banquet will be opened by you!"

The usually silent Yu Weiwei suddenly took Qin Shi's arm like a date.

Almost illuminating the Central City's sky, the giant tree began to shimmer as Qin Shi arrived.

The brilliant lights flickered, like a vast sea of light stirring waves, pushing the tides far and wide.

The entire Central City seemed to boil; countless eyes focused on the giant tree in the sky.

With a mighty roar, a soft beam of light descended from the heavens.

Qin Shi's erect silhouette leaped through the voluminous electronic signals, appearing on numerous screens, both large and small.
