Chapter 27 Large-Scale Task
"We're heading out now. I'll come to Jiangnan City in a couple of days if I have time, and we can discuss the movie investment then!" Before leaving, Wang Cong exchanged contact information with Fang Jueyu, but he really couldn't stand staying with Fang Jueyu any longer. In comparison, he felt like a poor man!
"小伊,那些照片能帮我删除吗?" Fang Jueyu scanned his surroundings, realizing that standing next to such a flashy sports car made it hard not to attract attention.
"Host, you can't do that. Don't forget, the task for unlocking the first phase of permissions requires you to make a loud name for yourself. I can easily fulfill your request, but the task progress would suffer greatly!"
"Wait! Don't delete them yet!" Fang Jueyu immediately stopped it. Xiao Yi was right, perhaps this was a stepping stone to open up his fame.
"Host, given your current slow task progress, completing the first phase of permission unlock within a year may be very difficult. Now initiating a large-scale task, do you wish to accept?"
"Do I have a choice?" Fang Jueyu was a bit surprised. According to the usual style in those novels, such tasks were generally mandatory and failure resulted in penalties like obliteration. "If I refuse, would you kill me?"
"The system's maintenance requires energy and life from the host. The system will not do anything to harm the host's life." Xiao Yi's words undoubtedly set Fang Jueyu's mind at ease. "Refusing the task will only slow down your permission unlock speed."
"Well then, since that's the case, I'll accept!" With no penalties involved, Fang Jueyu had no psychological burden to carry.
"Now distributing the large-scale task!"
Task content: Reduce your $500 billion liquid assets through normal spending in one year!
Task reward: Unlocking permissions based on specific circumstances.
"What? Reduce my liquid assets? Isn't this task a bit too easy?" Fang Jueyu found it strange. Isn't it just about spending money? How could this task qualify as a large-scale task?
"Host, to let you understand the status of your liquid assets, I will keep a real-time tally of this part of your liquid assets!"
In front of Fang Jueyu appeared a long string of numbers. He counted, and it turned out to be $500 billion. But in the next second, this number began to change dramatically.
$5000.05 billion, $5000.1 billion, $5000.08 billion, $5000.12 billion…
Almost every second, his $500 billion liquid assets fluctuated rapidly, sometimes decreasing, sometimes increasing, but it always slowly crept up at a rather slow pace. Although this proportion didn't seem much, with such a massive base, every second saw changes worth tens of millions of US Dollars.
Fang Jueyu hadn't even started spending money, yet in less than a minute, his liquid assets had increased by nearly $200 million. When could he ever reduce this money?
"Host, do you still find this task simple?" Xiao Yi asked.
"What on earth is going on?"
"This liquid fund of yours is always engaged in some liquid or short-term financial activities by your management team, and this money naturally keeps growing. If you don't start spending quickly, you'll never be able to spend even a penny off that initial $500 billion!"
"Damn you!" Fang Jueyu cursed. At this earning rate, he might have to spend a few billion US dollars a day to merely exhaust the daily profit.
Moreover, international currency exchange rates are remarkably complex, and there could be a drastic fluctuation any day, possibly increasing his $500 billion by a few percent in an instant.
In a regular family, they couldn't spend Fang Jueyu's minute-long profits in a whole lifetime.
There was an interesting joke online before, about the owner of Alibaba wanting to buy a sports car… and just like that, the money was enough!
Now this situation was happening in real life with Fang Jueyu. In three seconds, the money his account increased by could buy any sports car in the world!
"Ah, spending money is such a monumental task!" Fang Jueyu sighed, realizing that after living for twenty years without worrying about earning money, he was now vexed over how to spend it.
"Oh well, as they say, the boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge!" Fang Jueyu laughed bitterly, then got into his Maserati MC12.
"Fang Jueyu, have you arrived?" Just as he parked back at the venue, Fang Jueyu received a message from Guo Xinyu.
"I'm already at the venue. I just went for a meal with Professor Park and Principal Wang, and now I'm back." Fang Jueyu replied.
"I see, my performance starts at three, you have to be there to support me!"
"Alright, I'll come over later. I'm still looking forward to that meal you promised me!" As he chatted, a faint smile appeared on Fang Jueyu's face, one he hadn't seen in a long time.
With an upcoming performance, Guo Xinyu should be doing makeup by now. Fang Jueyu decided not to disturb her and simply wandered around the venue.
Fortunately, the hotel wasn't too close to the venue, and no one recognized Fang Jueyu, so he was free and at ease.
There were lots of beautiful women at the convention, each with fair skin and long legs. Naturally, those confident enough to make appearances at major conventions like China Joy had a lot of confidence in their looks and figure.
However, relatively speaking, Fang Jueyu was more interested in those anime figures, especially in the "Mobile Soldier Gundam" series. It seemed he had a mysterious obsession with them.@@novelbin@@
A collection as vast as a wall in death's domain could cost as much as a house in Yanjing, already indicating the expensive price of figures. Previously, Fang Jueyu didn't have much money, and limited figures that cost thousands or even tens of thousands he could only admire. But now, it wouldn't be difficult to have a batch of 1:1 scale models built around his villa!
"Waiter, I'll take all of these, pack them all up for me!"
"I want this one too, yeah! I'll take one of each limited edition!"
Like a nouveau riche, Fang Jueyu was frantically buying. Luckily, there was a discount, and they offered shipping services for large orders. Otherwise, with this pile of figures looking like a mountain, his sports car wouldn't be able to transport them.
"Hello, your total is 418,240. Will you be paying by card?" The salesperson beamed with a bright smile, knowing that with such an opening-day transaction, the commission would be substantial.
"By card!" Fang Jueyu took out his black card, muttering, "This is way too cheap, it doesn't even touch the interest of the money I earned in these past minutes!"
In just half an hour, his funds had grown to $5008.7 billion. In this short time, his assets had increased by nearly $1 billion, and in US dollars, no less!
"Send it to this address, please!" Fang Jueyu left an address and walked out of the figure store, simultaneously dialing Zhuang Ying's number.
"Xiao Ying, do you know how to contact the designers of the Gundam series in Sun Country? Also, help me hire some architects and mechanical engineers, I want to build a 1:1 Gundam model in my front yard."
"Yes, just like the one in Odaiba, Sun Country, I want an identical one!"
"What? Requirements? No requirements, just hire the most expensive ones, and use the best and most expensive materials. I'm not short on money! The more expensive, the better!"
"What? Estimated 80 million RMB? No way! Too cheap! Tell those designers to make changes, and hopefully, it can cost a few billion!"
"I'm not feverish!"
"Nor am I sick!"
