1494 The Virtual Universe Corporation’s Contract! (1)
Something noteworthy was that you needed to pay to watch the short movie… erm, short clip made by the Virtual Universe Corporation.

The UCs required for every short clip was different. Videos of different lengths had different costs.

In any case, with more people watching, more money would be collected.

Furthermore, the candidates showcased in the video would have a lifetime in royalties.

This represented another income avenue for the warriors.

!!
Warriors like Wang Teng and the Crown Prince—whose videos became popular after being watched many times—would be earning more.

It was something akin to the celebrity effect.

However, the ‘celebrities’ in this case were the talented fighters.

Wang Teng was elated when he heard about that unexpected gain. He readily accepted the copyright agreement the Virtual Universe Corporation had sent him.

Come on, only an idiot would reject a chance to make money.

He was terribly poor, almost in need to sell his body.

But now, he just needed to sell his face. Why not?

Wang Teng didn’t know if others agreed, but he did so without any hesitation.

There was no need to worry about any scams since the company was trustworthy. He just needed to lie down and wait for money to reach him.

Furthermore, he was among the top three candidates for the League of Talents in the popularity polls. No matter how powerful the Virtual Universe Corporation was, they wouldn’t dare trick a talent with great potential.

The top three candidates were chosen by the audience. The ones reviewed included him, the Crown Prince, and one to be chosen from the following: Ling Yangxu, Leng Qianxue, Berkshire, Yuan Hong, Timothy.

This situation occurred because the young hero and the heir apparent were exceptionally powerful, while the others were relatively weaker.

“Wang Teng, your profit sharing is very high!” Round Ball’s surprised tone resounded in Wang Teng’s mind after the latter signed the contract.

“How high is it?” Wang Teng asked.

He didn’t take notice of the profit sharing clause since he left the contract handling to his little helper.

“Others have a 50-60% profit sharing, but you have… 90%!” Round Ball said.

“90%!” Even if unaware what the cut was for others, he knew that 90% was high. This left him in shock.

“That’s right. This is a grand gesture. You’ll be raking in a fair amount with a 90% profit sharing. Looks like they have high hopes for you, based on what they saw in the elimination round. It is a show of their goodwill,” said the little one.
“Are they trying to make friends with me?” The young hero smiled.

“Of course. The Virtual Universe Corporation is a smart company. That’s why they are able to stand firm in the universe after so many years,” Round Ball replied.

“No one knows your abilities better than them, since they have broadcasting rights to the League of Talents. They’re always able to invest accurately on a potential talent.

“They’ve used this method to befriend and keep good relations with countless talents over the years. Isn’t it amazing?”

“Impressive!” Wang Teng exclaimed. Just by considering how powerful and mighty the previous talents had become, he knew how scary the Virtual Universe Corporation was.

“This is just the initial investment. Once the competition ends, they will send someone to contact the talents and provide them with all kinds of resources and benefits; that’s the real investment. They will add more benefits to the pile depending on the future progress of the talents they set their eyes on,” the helper added.

“Oh my god, how much money is that?” Wang Teng was startled.

Ample resources were required for talented warriors to mature; it was the case to make any form of progress at the cosmos, universe, and the heaven stage. The amount of resources invested by the company was unfathomable, considering the number of talents.

Most importantly, some of those candidates could die during their growing process; this would represent losses of time and capital.

“Well, they’re rich. They can do anything,” Round Ball said.

“I just realized that I’m just a poor guy.” Wang Teng shook his head, feeling helpless.

“You’re too naive if you think they’re making a loss,” Round Ball chuckled and explained, “they’ll have considerable returns if just one of the talents grows and reaches the universe stage, or the eternal stage. This would give them back ten times or a hundred times more than what they invested; enough to cover up any losses caused by betting on the rest.”

“That’s a good plan.” Wang Teng blinked. He finally understood the Virtual Universe Corporation’s methods.

They would invest in talent based on potential. The ones with greater potential would receive more resources, while inferior talents would have less. This arrangement would minimize their losses, even if the ones with lower potential died.

The ones with greater potential had better chances of surviving, and would reach greater heights compared to the rest. This would produce more benefits for the company.

Profit was guaranteed.

“I didn’t expect them to have such high hopes for you,” Round Ball said, “I don’t think the Crown Prince’s ratio is as high as yours.”

“Who cares. I’ll just keep the money and take this chance to establish a good relationship with them; there’s nothing to lose.” Wang Teng was a sly fellow. He didn’t take their kindness to heart, as he could tell it was just a trade. Those acting with sincerity would very likely stand to lose.
