Two Months Later
The Virtual Network World, a world officially opened up by the Canglan Galactic Human Empire.
Those who can come here are either members of exploration teams exploring unknown and Desolate Star Domain, or investors who have verified their investment through 500 million Canglan Coin.
Not just anyone can invest in the exploration team; a minimum threshold of 500 million Canglan Coin is required for verification.
Su Yuan's figure landed not far away, looking around.
This place resembles a tavern, and quite a few people have already gathered there, chatting and discussing investment matters on the tables, chairs, in the corridors, or on the stairs leading to private rooms.
"Recently, a total of 86,732 exploration teams have been dispatched to explore unknown star systems."
"Of these, 3,641 exploration teams will be forever trapped in the unknown star systems they explored, and 78,900 exploration teams will find nothing in their subsequent explorations."
Su Yuan thought to himself silently.
Through the Grey Mirror, he already knew everything about the upcoming exploration team and the future they were about to explore.
More than 80% of the exploration teams inside won't find much.
This is normal. Exploring unknown star systems involves great risks, but those who dare to explore must be experienced and carry a large number of high-tech weapons manufactured by the Empire.
As long as the expedition leader is cautious and avoids taking risks, the probability of a safe return is still quite high.
The high-tech weapons manufactured by the Galactic Human Empire, especially their detection equipment, are often able to detect most dangers in advance.
"Of the fewer than 5,000 exploration teams that will actually reap rewards during the upcoming exploration period, only 893 will truly achieve significant gains, bringing back ten or even a hundred times the profit."
A flood of information rushed through Su Yuan's mind.
Of these 893 teams, 850 are experienced exploration teams with a history of success, and they are already backed by investors. It won't be easy for Su Yuan to get a piece of the pie.
"Of the 850 exploration teams, there are two that are most suitable for my investment."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
Both of these exploration teams were newcomers with little exploration experience, making it difficult to attract many investors. This is why Su Yuan had the opportunity to invest.
If it were one of those popular exploration teams, every time they explored an unknown star field, a large number of investors would rush to give them money. Even if Su Yuan wanted to invest, he would have to wait in line.
"Of the two exploration teams, the first one was named the 'Voyager' exploration team."
Su Yuan walked down the corridor for a while and soon came to a table and chairs.
At that moment, a red-skinned man was sitting at the table and chairs, dozing off with his eyes closed.
"The Voyager?"
Su Yuan looked at the sign on the table that read "Voyager".
This red-skinned man is the captain of the "Voyager" exploration team. According to the answer given by the Grey Mirror, during the upcoming exploration, the team will accidentally enter a special star field and bring back a batch of precious resources worth hundreds of billions of Canglan Coin.
"Hello."
Upon seeing Su Yuan approach, the red-skinned man immediately opened his eyes and introduced himself, "I am the captain of the Voyager Exploration Team, named Ao Feng. Although our exploration team is newly established, we are already quite capable."
"Um."
Su Yuan nodded, listened patiently to the other party's introduction for a while, and then asked, "How many Canglan Coin does your exploration team need?"
"One hundred million Canglan Coin," the red-skinned man, Auf, immediately said. Their exploration team was still missing a detection device, a shortfall of one hundred million Canglan Coin.
That's why I'm here to attract "investment".
"How much of the profits will I get?" Su Yuan asked immediately.
Since you're making an investment, you naturally need to participate in the final profit sharing; for any investor, profit sharing is the most crucial factor.
One-twentieth
After thinking for a moment, the red-skinned Ao Feng spoke up, saying that besides Su Yuan, they had also brought in several other investors, all of whom were to share the profits.
Furthermore, the members of the exploration team also need to be divided.
"Too low, one-fifth."
Su Yuan spoke up.
"One-fifth?" The red-skinned Ao Feng immediately shook his head.
Finally, the two settled on a one-tenth split.
This was also the bottom line for the red-skinned Ao Feng, Su Yuan readily agreed.
This expedition, led by the red-skinned Ao Feng's Voyager Exploration Team, will bring back valuable resources worth billions.
One-tenth of 10 billion Canglan Coin is 1 billion Canglan Coin.
Su Yuan only invested 100 million Canglan Coin and was able to get ten times the return, which is definitely a huge profit.
"Unfortunately, some citizens have already invested." Su Yuan shook his head slightly. The red-skinned Ao Feng was only one hundred million Canglan Coin short of the investment gap.
Even if Su Yuan invests more, he cannot increase the profit-sharing ratio.
The second exploration team was named the "Hometown" Exploration Team.
Information about the "Hometown" exploration team surfaced in Su Yuan's mind.
The "Hometown" exploration team is also a relatively unknown exploration team, except that its captain recently awakened a certain treasure-hunting talent.
This treasure-hunting talent will help him find a special resource planet during his upcoming explorations and bring back a batch of treasures worth 20 billion Canglan Coin.
Su Yuan got up, left the red-skinned Ao Feng chair, and went to the third floor of the tavern.
"Hometown Exploration Team?"
Su Yuan looked at a seat not far away.
Hu Ta, the captain of the Hometown Exploration Team, looked extremely grim.
Opposite him stood a man with long silver hair.
"Hu Ta, I can invest 400 million Canglan Coin in your exploration team, but I need to receive 70% of the harvest." The silver-haired man looked at the captain of his Hometown Exploration Team.
"Seventy percent of the harvest?" Captain Hu Ta frowned deeply.
The silver-haired man took 70% of the spoils; the remaining 30% was to be divided among the other investors and the exploration team members.
If the harvest is insufficient, they will not only fail to make money, but will also lose money.
"Young Master Ya Lin, there's a 70% chance it won't work; the other investors and team members won't agree."
Captain Hu Ta composed himself and spoke.
"That's not my concern. Just answer me whether I can or I can't."
"That's what the silver-haired man said."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"Captain Hu Ta said in a deep voice."
"Since you can't do it, then forget it. I, Ya Lin Luo Xing, don't like to force people." The silver-haired man stood up, then shook his head and said, "However, I think you probably won't be able to raise the 400 million Canglan Coin you're short."
"Is Young Master Ya Lin threatening me?"
"Captain Hu Ta asked."
Ya Lin. Luo Xing is a member of a powerful Lineage within the Canglan Galactic Human Empire and wields considerable influence among investors.
Compared to those popular exploration teams, Ya Lin might have to be a bit more humble, after all, the former have many investors behind them.
But what about a second-rate exploration Hometown Exploration Team?
Ya Lin and Luo Xing didn't care at all.
The reason he invested 400 million Canglan Coin this time was simply because he received information that the unknown star field that his Hometown Exploration Team was about to explore might contain traces of a star with precious resources.
Through the exploration of various teams, the unknown Desolate Star Domain was divided into regions.
Based on the outer perimeter of the exploration area, some experienced exploration team leaders can roughly estimate and determine whether there are valuable resource stars or secret realms inside.
To this Ya Lin Luoxing invested in dozens of exploration teams, whose target was the vicinity of that star field.
Think about it again.
Ya Lin got up and left.
At the same time, he gave orders that no other investors were allowed to invest in the Hometown Exploration Team.
After Ya Lin and Luo Xing left.
Su Yuan walked straight up.
"Sorry, our Hometown Exploration Team is not accepting sponsorships at this time."
"Captain Hu Ta said in a deep voice."
Although there is still a shortfall of 400 million Canglan Coin, Ya Lin have both made strong statements, and Captain Hu Ta does not intend to involve other investors.
"Is it because of the Luoxing Family?"
Su Yuan naturally knew the whole story and shook his head, saying, "It's alright. I'll donate 400 million Canglan Coin and ultimately participate in a 20% profit sharing."
The Hometown Exploration Team will eventually bring back treasures worth 20 billion, of which 20% will be worth 4 billion Canglan Coin.
"Two components?"
Captain Hu Ta felt a sense of relief, but at the same time tentatively asked, "Does Your Excellency really not care about the Luoxing Family?"
"The Luoxing Family?"
Su Yuan remained expressionless.
Other investors are wary of the Luoxing Family because they know each other's identities and have business dealings with each other.
But Su Yuan?
With the Virtual Network World providing cover, what can the Luoxing Family do to him?
Let's sign the contract.
Su Yuan produced the contract and successfully signed it with Captain Hu Ta.
Another part of the tavern.
"A worthless wretch with no background dares to defy me? Leaving you 30% is already a favor," Ya Lin Luoxing shook her head slightly.
Soon after, they received news that the Hometown Exploration Team had received an investment of 400 million Canglan Coin.
Who did it?
Ya Lin Luoxing was furious and looked at his subordinates.
"I don't know, this person hasn't appeared before."
His subordinates told the truth.
"Take me there."
Led by his subordinates, Ya Lin Luoxing immediately came to Su Yuan's side.
At this moment, Su Yuan had just finished signing his contract with the Hometown Exploration Team and had not yet left the Virtual Network World.
"Does Your Excellency truly regard the Luoxing Family as nothing?"
Ya Lin Luoxing spoke, his tone calm, but the threat was almost palpable.
"The Luoxing Family?"
Su Yuan glanced at Ya Lin Luoxing, too lazy to even bother with any nonsense, and left the virtual world directly.
"You?!"
Ya Lin Luoxing, though seething with anger, suppressed his rage and said, "Investigate! Find out that person's true identity!"
Blue Star.
Su Yuan was fully aware of Ya Lin Luoxing's subsequent reaction.
The answer given by the Grey Mirror was that Ya Lin Luoxing couldn't find anything and couldn't do anything to Su Yuan.
In the Virtual Network World, citizens' information is protected. Ya Lin Luoxing's so-called identity check is to find out the citizens who know Su Yuan in the virtual world, and then follow the clues to find traces in the real world.
In the virtual world, no one knew Su Yuan at all. The only person he met, Ye Kunlun, did not see Su Yuan's real information or data.
"Continue your cultivation."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts and began cultivating at the level 8 life form stage.
Time passed.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
