Malice

Money is just an external thing; the system shop is something you can only hope to find by chance.

Of all the items and skills I bought last time, none of them could be bought with money. They're all incredibly useful in crucial moments.

Do we even need to choose?

Option three is the obvious choice.

Looking up, Zhang Yang glanced at Ye Junyi, who still seemed a little disappointed, and immediately smiled.

"How about this, if you're really interested, I can give you five percent of the shares. Let's not talk about money, let's just consider it making friends."

"This..." Ye Junyi was immediately shocked. "How could this be!"

"Why not?" Zhang Yang said nonchalantly. "I don't have much, but giving you five percent as a token is no problem..."

Five percent, based on current valuations, is no small sum; it's at least tens of millions.

Zhang Yang's casual remark about giving it away shows his considerable generosity.

However... Ye Junyi naturally wouldn't want it.

"Young Master Zhang, please don't bring up the matter of giving away shares." Ye Junyi waved his hand repeatedly. "We're talking business, what's the fair amount will be the fair amount."

He raised his glass and toasted Zhang Yang again.

"But five percent is really too little, Mr. Zhang. Could you loosen your grip a bit more?"

"Five percent is still not enough?" Zhang Yang shook his head with amusement. "Then how much do you want? I currently have thirty percent of the shares. I definitely can't transfer them all to you; I need to hold some."

"How about twenty-five?" Ye Junyi asked tentatively.

"You've gone against the Heavenly Gang, so I'm only keeping five percent, right?" Zhang Yang laughed and scolded. "How about this, I'll give you twenty at most, you decide the price yourself."

"Great!" Ye Junyi was overjoyed. "We definitely can't let Young Master Zhang suffer a loss."

At the dinner table, the two immediately finalized the transfer price.

Zhang Yang transferred 20 Good Goods Select to Ye Junyi for 140 million yuan.

In Ye Junyi's words, he actually wanted to achieve something to show his family, and Good Goods Select was just right in every way, so he was willing to pay a premium to acquire it.

For Zhang Yang, the initial investment of 20 million yuan has now yielded a substantial profit.

The mission of Premium Goods has been accomplished.

They're keeping 10% of the shares, so they haven't completely exited the market, leaving something to look forward to.

Both host and guest enjoyed themselves immensely.

Bite!

The host has made a choice.

The system store will be open for a limited time soon. Please prepare accordingly.

Suddenly, a pleasant system notification sounded in my mind.

Zhang Yang felt a surge of joy.

"Young Master Zhang, come on, let's have a drink. Don't go back tonight, I've already booked the presidential suite for you," Ye Junyi said with great enthusiasm.

"No problem." Zhang Yang smiled and raised his glass in a gesture of respect.

Beside him, Tao Zhan was already quite drunk. It was unclear whether he was drinking out of revenge or not, but he just kept drinking in silence.

His girlfriend Liu Yi, didn't dare to offer any advice.

"You guys enjoy your drinks, I'm going to the restroom first," Zhang Yang said, standing up.

The system store will be open soon.

He needs to calm down and do a proper shopping trip.

"Alright! Young Master Zhang, hurry back, we'll be waiting for you to continue," Ye Junyi said.

Zhang Yang nodded and walked straight out of the private room.

Outside the private room, all was quiet.

In my mind, the system store finally reopened as promised.

Without hesitation, he immediately immersed himself in the experience.

"This is··"

Zhang Yang opened his eyes.

The system shop has naturally been refreshed with many new items, as well as some familiar faces from the last time.

[Injury-Free Card]: 500,000 per card, limited to 20 cards per customer.

Zhang Yang bought this last time, but hadn't had a chance to use it yet; the price seems to have gone up this time.

He didn't hesitate.

Prices may go up, but this is a golden opportunity; buy it now while you can, because who knows when you might need it?

Then.

Twenty tickets sold out instantly, costing ten million.

Now, including the ten Injury-Free Cards from last time, there are thirty Injury-Free Card in total.

The difference between this and the Life Shield is that one is an active skill, and the other is a passive skill.

To prevent accidents and unexpected damage, the Injury-Free Card is not very useful, since it can't be triggered immediately. However, in certain situations, such as when you can foresee the impending danger and use the Injury-Free Card in advance, it can be considered a bug.

At that time, not only will we be free to come and go amidst swords, spears, and clubs, but even a hail of bullets.

[Primary Gene Agent]: 10 million

Purchase limit: 1

This gene therapy agent aims to repair congenital deficiencies in human genes, and after use, it can provide immunity against the following diseases:...

Below is a long list, just like the insurable diseases listed on an insurance policy, covering almost all kinds of genetic and hereditary diseases.

Although Zhang Yang is now physically very strong and has reached an unparalleled level of self-control, theoretically speaking, his genes have not changed. No matter how handsome he is or how perfect his physique is, it is all just a temporary optimization and modification of his body by the system.

Essentially, his genes are still the same.

He may be able to cure all his diseases, but his offspring will not; some of the genetic defects that are meant to be inherited will still be passed down.

The emergence of this drug is to repair all potential genetic defects at the genetic level, and it can even be passed on to offspring, giving them immunity to these diseases.

It's incredibly precious.

So, although its price of ten million seems expensive at first glance, compared to its function, it's practically dirt cheap.

Zhang Yang, of course, accepted it without hesitation.

According to the system description, in addition to the basic gene serum, there are also intermediate and advanced versions, which correspond to further optimizing and strengthening genes, respectively.

To put it simply, genetic optimization could allow Zhang Yang to become even more perfect as a human, a truly perfect human being. For example, could he live to the theoretically maximum human lifespan, 180 or 200 years? Could he slow down aging? Could he maintain his youth?

It is absolutely flawless.

Strengthening genes means enabling him to completely surpass human genes and break free from all the constraints imposed on humanity.

By then, brain development will have increased dramatically, lifespan will have been extended further, strength will have become unbelievably powerful, cell activity will be so strong that even injuries will allow for rapid recovery, and reaction speed will be so fast that bullet trajectories will be visible.

Superman, Superman, beyond humanity, by then he will be a true Superman.

Zhang Yang was captivated by these introductions.

"System, what are the odds of obtaining this intermediate and advanced gene-enhancing drug? Also, what's the price..."

Although he knew perfectly well that the system father was not a personified being, Zhang Yang still couldn't help but ask.

"Extremely rare, extremely expensive."

The system simply displayed these two sentences without any emotion.

After hearing this, Zhang Yang felt both disappointed and that it was only natural.

Such precious things couldn't possibly be common; they must be rare treasures. The only thing I can do is make money, make money, and make more money so that when these two things appear, I won't have any regrets and will have enough wealth to acquire them.

Of course, do your best and leave the rest to fate; don't force anything or be greedy.

Even if he stops here, he will be very satisfied.

Coming to his senses, Zhang Yang continued to focus his attention on the system store.

Only two items remain in the system shop.

The first one is called the Good-Evil Detector, which costs 20 million and can be used an unlimited number of times. After use, it can detect other people's good or bad intentions, likes or dislikes towards the host.

This is good.

As the saying goes, the human heart is the hardest to fathom. With this detector, although it may not be able to see into other people's hearts, it can at least reveal some things hidden beneath the surface of harmony.

Although a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

But if someone harbors evil intentions towards you, regardless of whether they are capable of doing it, then they have certainly already found a way to die.

No doubt, buy it!

One item remains.

Investment Return Rate Detector, priced at five million, can be used to detect the return on investment projects.

The price isn't expensive, and there's no limit to the number of times you can use it.

However, this thing costs extra each time it's used; honest and straightforward, one million per use.

It's worth it, actually.

Buy it.

At this point, he had bought everything he could from the system shop.

Is it worth it?

It's well worth it.

Whether it's the Injury-Free Card that provides him with the most robust protection, the Gene Drug that helps him optimize his genes, become immune to all diseases, and ensures successful inheritance, or the Good Good-Evil Detector that can detect others' likes and dislikes towards him, they are all extremely useful.

As for the investment return period, needless to say, it is sufficient to ensure that his company can spend less money, avoid detours, and maximize returns on its investment journey.

Who knows, his Cloud Sea Capital might become a rising star in China's investment scene, with countless unicorn success stories.

"It can be considered a satisfactory outcome," Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

He looked at the contents of his backpack.

Let's not rush to use the gene serum. As for the Good-Evil Detector...

Zhang Yang had an idea and immediately put the detector to use.

The long corridor was empty for the time being, except for a waitress walking towards us.

Zhang Yang glanced at the waitress walking towards him.

The girl was young, and being looked at by such a handsome guy as Zhang Yang, she naturally became a little shy and looked away.

Detecting:

Detection target: Li Rongmei

Host's favorability rating: Extremely high, mixed with rapid heartbeat and severe inferiority complex.

Ah, this...

Zhang Yang was taken aback. He looked at the waitress who had hurriedly walked away and almost twisted her ankle, and then fell into deep thought.

This thing is so effective?

Surprisingly, it doesn't mechanically detect good or evil; it even provides a rating.

Also, what exactly is an inferiority complex?

Why should I feel inferior when I see myself?

Zhang Yang shook his head and chuckled, then walked back into the private room with the detector.

"Young Master Zhang, you've finally arrived." Ye Junyi and Zhang Yang had become very familiar with each other, and he greeted Zhang Yang with a smile as soon as he entered.

The bottle of five-star Moutai worth millions on the table had long been finished, so he had the hotel staff bring over a 15-liter Moutai called "Spirit Monkey Brings Auspiciousness".

It looks like a huge jar, worth seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, fifteen liters and thirty catties, which works out to twenty or thirty thousand yuan per catty.

"Here, let me pour the wine." He lifted the jar with some difficulty, intending to pour it directly.

An empty wine glass was placed on the table, and a large jar tilted down, pouring and spilling wine, instantly filling the table with the aroma of wine and soaking the surface.

Seeing that he was struggling to pour it, Zhang Yang reached out with one hand and easily put the boss's jar down with two fingers. He also scanned it with the Good-Evil Detector.

Young Master Ye seemed enthusiastic, and the scene was quite grand.

I just don't know if they're true to themselves.

Detecting:

Detection target: Ye Junyi

The host's level of goodwill towards the host is: admiration, respect, and above favorability.

Zhang Yang smiled and immediately stepped forward to take the wine glass.

Okay, okay!

It's always better to have more friends than more enemies.

The two men clinked their glasses and each took a large gulp.

His attitude towards Young Master Ye became much more amiable and sincere, not because he was easily trusting of others, but because anything produced by the system was bound to be of high quality.

If you can see into someone's heart, what is there left to disbelieve?

I finished the glass of wine.

Zhang Yang glanced at the two remaining people on the table: Tao Zhan and his girlfriend Liu Yi.

"Young Master Zhang, let me toast you again. I'll drink it all. I apologize again." Tao Zhan met Zhang Yang's gaze, suddenly stood up, and gulped down a mouthful.

He seemed genuinely drunk.

His expression at this moment conveyed a sense of suppressed self-abandonment and venting.

"Tao Zhan, you've had too much to drink." Ye Junyi frowned.

"No, I didn't do much." Tao Zhan waved his hand. "I just hate myself for being so blind, for getting involved with Young Master Zhang. I shouldn't have..."

He was rambling incoherently.

Zhang Yang didn't speak, but after a moment's thought, he used the Good-Evil Detector to look at him.

Detecting:

Detection target: Tao Zhan

Degree of good or evil towards the host: jealousy, malice, fear

Wow!

Zhang Yang suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something interesting.

His eyes were fixed on Tao Zhan.

Tao Zhan was startled, instinctively averting his gaze with a hint of fear...

"Liu Yi, why don't you take Tao Zhan to a hotel first?" Ye Junyi waved his hand, "So he doesn't go on a drunken rampage."

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment before standing up, then nodded gently and, with Tao Zhan's help, prepared to leave first.

"I'm not drunk, really, brother-in-law," Tao Zhan kept talking and shouting all the way.

They waited until everyone left.

"Young Master Zhang, I'm sorry." Ye Junyi didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Yang's. "Tao Zhan and his sister are quite far apart in age. His parents had him late in life and doted on him a bit. Don't take it to heart."

"It's not that bad," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He's just a spoiled rich kid; what trouble can he possibly cause?

As for my dislike for him?

Did he really expect that after being slapped a few times, he would have to come and fawn over him today, only to end up having a crush on him?

They shouldn't be that shameless.

It's fair to say that his current feelings about himself are exactly as he expected.

There was no one else in the private room, just the two of us.

Zhang Yang and Ye Junyi drank to their hearts' content and chatted quite happily.

Over time.

Zhang Yang was still completely sober, but Ye Junyi was clearly drunk.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the private room, and a figure walked in.

It turned out to be Liu Yi, who had gone to see Tao Zhan off.

"Huh? You're back?" Ye Junyi exclaimed in surprise, "Have you settled him in?"

"Brother-in-law, I've already taken him to his place. I didn't want to be impolite, so I came over on Tao Zhan's behalf," Liu Yi said, her eyes lowered.

"Don't call me brother-in-law anymore, it's not the right time yet." Ye Junyi glanced at Liu Yi and said, "Sit down."

Liu Yi sat down.

Zhang Yang smiled and looked at Liu Yi. Feeling bored, he casually used the detector on her as well.
