David immediately thought of someone.Andy Lewis!The man had just spent around ten billion on a mine in Safari Land, of which he currently owned 25% of the shares to.David thought that if he could get Andy to help him buy two mines, then he should be able to spend another twenty or thirty billion dollars and earn more lavish points.So that was exactly what he did.David immediately called Andy.He felt extremely uncomfortable since he could not leave his room and refused to do so until he had achieved a breakthrough in his mind power.“Hey, David! And here I thought you didn’t care about your shares!” Andy said over the phone.Andy had been busy with the mine in Safari Land these days, so he was not aware of David’s activity within the country.Neither did he know that David had already become a core member of the SCC.“Andy! I’m calling because I don’t care about my shares, I actually wanted to ask you for help,” David said straightforwardly.“How can I help, David?”“Y
The next day, Andy had indeed dealt with the issue appropriately.David immediately transferred thirty billion to him.Coupled with a few completed investments in Springfield and Capital City, David’s lavish points increased to 1215 points.David sat on the sofa and stared at the system interface in front of him, then he tapped on the [+] button after the mind power stats.A window popped up.“Host David’s mind power has already achieved the maximum of ordinary people in this planet. Do you wish to continue increasing mind power? This increment will cost 1000 lavish points.”Without any hesitation, David selected “Yes.”After deducting 1000 lavish points, there were only 215 points left.David felt a sharp pain in his mind as if he was being poked with a needle. The pain lasted for a good while before it slowly started to throb.David laid down on the sofa, his mind hazy and blurry.After some time, David sat up again. This time his mind was clear.This moment was similar to
Greenwood University.It was currently lunch break.On a chair by the artificial lake, two students were talking with each other.Although, one of them was sitting on the chair while the other stood courteously beside him.“Has David not come for classes yet?” Hanley asked from where he sat on the chair.“Not yet, Hanley. David hasn’t come to school for the past four to five days,” replied the student standing.David was an exchange student at Greenwood University. Since he was in the same class as the other student, the latter knew very well whether David had come to school or not.“Report to me immediately once David returns!”“Understood, Hanley.”“Alright, you may be excused now. Go.”“Yes, Hanley,” replied the student, who then bowed before leaving.Hanley sat on the chair and stared at the calm pond not too far away. However, his emotions were far from calm.This pretty girl whom he had set his eyes on for three years was now taken away from him by an exchange student
Two more days passed, and it was now the weekend.David was still running around buying estates.However, since there were no large purchases, the increment in lavish points was slow.It took less than ten billion dollars to go from 15 to 108 points in two days.David tapped on body again without any hesitation. There were eight lavish points after he was done, while his body reached extraordinary level 4.On his way back to Starry Night Hotel, David noticed that the area was bustling. There were so many luxury cars in front of the entrance that there was hardly any parking left.There was also a huge crowd of people around the hotel. Many held signs and banners but were blocked by dozens of security guards.'Are these fans?'Did some celebrity check into Starry Night Hotel?'He could only park his car in the underground car park.David was stopped when he got to the main entrance. There used to be four female ushers here, and now it had become four security guards."Sir, pl
Marie was smiling and talking to a paunchy and bald investor.To the outsiders, she was one of the four rising stars in the country and was having such a glamorous life.However, only she knew the truth. She was nothing more than a plaything to the capitalists.She finally bagged a big-budget movie she had prepared for a long time, but the so-called investor was upset because she was unwilling to sleep with him.The investor pulled out of the project suddenly, and the director chewed her head off. They told her that the investor pulled out his investment nonchalantly because of her. If she could not bring in new investments, she could forget about her career in the film industry.In other words, if she failed to secure a new investor, she would be blacklisted. With the director's status, it would be easy to blacklist a newcomer like her.Therefore, even though she was disgusted by the investor's predatory gaze, she still smiled and chatted with him.Fortunately, there were many
However, Marie ignored him.Marie went around and talked to two younger and better-looking investors, but failed. They said their company had no plans to invest in such a big-budget film.After all, the proposed investment for the movie was 300 million to 500 million dollars. It was real money, and not everyone could afford it.Some companies might look like they had a market value of billions of dollars, but not many of them could take out a few billion dollars without disrupting their business operations."How are things, Marie?" A beautiful middle-aged woman walked over and asked.It was Marie's manager—Hannah Clement.She was also the person who watched Marie graduate from school and get to where she was today.Marie shook her head and said, "Not much progress, Hannah. What about you?""Me too! Oh! There are very few companies that can afford to finance these kinds of big-budget movies, and we've talked to as many as we can," Hannah said with a sigh."Hannah! Do you think
"Marie, who's this?" Asked Hannah.How could she not know that Marie had such a friend?After all, she and Marie were inseparable. To put it crudely, she even knew how many moles Marie had.Besides, she knew almost all of Marie's friends but had never heard of David!If he could get David to join their studio, he would become their cash cow after some packaging!It was the era of clout.The way David looked now was attractive to girls.Let her package him, and she could guarantee that David would become the most popular idol around.He would be getting so many commercial deals and endorsements that they would make enough money to feed themselves for the rest of their lives even if it was only for a few years."Hannah, this is Mr. David Lidell, the man who saved my life in Lake City," replied Marie."So you're Mr. Lidell. Hello! I'm Marie's manager. My name is Hannah Clement!" Hannah said as she held out her right hand to David.She had heard Marie mention the incident in Lak
Hannah had been in the entertainment industry for years. The experience of an entertainment industry rookie like Marie was no match for hers.She had never seen an investor who thought the investment amount was too little and would top up without reason. Besides, he topped up a few hundred million dollars.Being a perfectionist and doing his best in everything was bullshit!Who would resent having more money?It did not make sense, and the amount was too over-the-top. She would have been fooled if it had been reasonable because David's appearance was so deceptive.However, she did not expose him right away. She wanted to see what David would do next.If Hannah had followed Marie to that private party in Lake City, she would have thought differently.Everyone there was big shots in Lake City. They were worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars!Why would David, who could thrive in a place like that, trick a starlet in the early stages of fame?"Why not? It's a deal! I'
