Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Angel Investor
Meng Wang (Dream King): "Little Sanyue, aren't you going to buy anything from the mall? Everyone else is already scrambling."
Photographer: "Huh? Wait for me, you guys!"
Seeker: "…"
Wu Tong stopped paying attention to the group chat. After learning how to earn points, he immediately dumped all the knowledge in his head into the group mall.

…
From practical knowledge to cultivation techniques, medical texts, Taoist scriptures, and even novels—Wu Tong uploaded everything he knew into the mall.
After all, even ordinary medical books could be invaluable in the right hands.
But Wu Tong wasn't the only one who realized this. Seeing that only one of the Four Great Inventions had been accepted, he froze for a moment.
I really shouldn't underestimate the talents of others.
Knowledge-based items had two pricing models: buyout or royalties.
No one was shortsighted enough to choose a one-time buyout.
Because knowledge was universal, the mall only accepted one version of each piece of knowledge. However, if different versions of the same technique existed (e.g., Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Fist from a wuxia world vs. Taiji Fist from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber), both would be listed separately. Only resources could be infinitely resold.
For knowledge-based items, the uploader received 50% of the sales, while the chat group took the other 50% as a commission.
No one objected to this. Knowledge only held value when circulated, and the chat group's role as an intermediary was fair.
Moreover, 30% of the commission went toward bending world laws and "bribing" world consciousnesses to allow cross-world cultivation compatibility.
After selling all his knowledge, combined with his daily allowance, Wu Tong amassed over 100,000 points.
He stared at the number, feeling somewhat surreal.
All the knowledge I've accumulated over the years… is only worth this much?
Even accounting for rejected duplicates, the payout was meager.
Then again, the Douluo Dalu world's level is just too low. Research based on its cultivation system has limited universality, so its value plummets.
Shaking his head, Wu Tong refocused on the mall.
[Resurrection Coins]
Stock: -1… -10… -100…
Wu Tong: "…You guys are fast."
Watching the dwindling stock, Wu Tong frantically started grabbing coins.
One coin = one life!
Finally, the silent war ended.
After fierce competition, Wu Tong secured 154 Resurrection Coins—just over 10% of the total stock.
No-Shameless Green Lotus: "Damn, you all snatched them up too quick! I only got forty-something."
No-Shameless Green Lotus: "But seriously, is resurrection this cheap? 5,000 points for a life?"
Seeker: "It depends on the world."
Seeker: "In Honkai Impact, Otto Apocalypse went to insane lengths to revive Kallen. But in some Western fantasy worlds, even low-tier priests can cast resurrection spells."
Seeker: "The chat group links infinite worlds. In game-based universes, revival is practically trivial."
Dragon King Spraying Water: "Exactly! Besides coins, there are tons of revival items—like game world resurrection crosses, Inuyasha's Tenseiga, Genshin's Teyvat Fried Eggs, Dragon Ball's wish-granting orbs, Minecraft's Totems of Undying…"
Dragon King Spraying Water: "Infinite worlds mean infinite possibilities. What's priceless in one world might be common in another. Trading across worlds? That's the real opportunity."
Tianji Wang (Heaven's Secret King): "Fair point. We angels have revival methods too, but they violate the 'Justice Order,' so they're banned."
Meng Wang: "Suddenly, resurrection seems… kinda easy?"
No-Shameless Green Lotus: "Revival, huh…"
Under One Person World
Zhang Chulan stared blankly at the ceiling.
Revival…
Grandpa…
[Designated Red Packet · Seeker]
Seeker: "?"
Seeker: "What's this?"
Tianji Wang: "An investment. As a transmigrator, you know how 'that stubborn woman' operates, right? 'Angel Investor' fits her perfectly. She told me to do this."
Tianji Wang: "After running projections, we confirmed your potential. An unpolished gem like you? Prime investment material."
Tianji Wang: "Your plugin's broken, but with that unlimited upgrade, you can patch up your 'peerless comprehension' talent. The only thing you lack now is knowledge—and thanks to the chat group, that's no longer an issue. So what's left? Points. And you're short on those."
Tianji Wang: "Here's 1,000,000 points as seed funding. With this, you'll rise fast."
Wu Tong was stunned.
He had considered Sacred Kaiser's tendency to invest in talent early…
Though her judgment's questionable—just look at Yan and Zhixin, those two money pits…
Dragon King Spraying Water: "A million?! That's insane! I've got potential too! Adopt me, Sister Hexi!"
Tianji Wang: "Hardly 'insane.' Between Zhixin's sacred code for Earth and Yan's Sky Blade-class battleship for the Galaxy Force, we've blown way past a million."
Super God Universe
On the secluded planet where Hexi resided, she projected the chat interface midair, sharing the screen with Kaiser.
When the group leader called the investment "insane," Hexi's eyes flicked toward Kaiser's two wings—Yan and Zhixin.
Ugh. The more time Zhixin spends with Kaiser, the dumber she gets. Spoiled brats.
The two angels shrank under her glare. After watching Super God Academy, even they had to admit they'd been wasteful.
Seeker: "Just like that? No tests? Don't angels love 'trials'?"
Wu Tong found it surreal. Even the Galaxy Force—the angels' so-called "future"—had been scrutinized. (A future now in shambles.)
Tianji Wang: "Tests? Please. I'm a researcher, not a schemer like some people."
Tianji Wang: "Besides, you're still unproven. Isn't now the best time to invest? 'Better to give coal in snow than flowers in spring.'"
Nearly everyone rolled their eyes at Hexi's claim of being "no schemer." If she wasn't cunning, the universe was full of saints.
Seeker: "Then I'll humbly accept. I owe you. If you ever need anything, just ask."
Wu Tong didn't refuse. Right now, he needed those points.
