I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 495
Chapter 495: Changes After The Virtual Space Gets Upgraded
It was no wonder that Su Yang was surprised. The second page of the building list looked really weird.
[Magical Mushroom Forest, 6,200 coins]
[Goldfish Bearing Pond, 8,800 coins]
[Snowy Mountain With Snow Monsters, 13,200 coins]
[All-seeing Watchtower 16,668 coins]…
Su Yang was confused as he looked at the weird items on the paper. ‘What the h*ll are these?
‘Magical mushroom? How magical are they? Will I have mushrooms growing on me after I eat it?
‘Goldfish?
‘What kind of goldfish is it for it to be so expensive? Is it made out of gold?
‘I can somewhat understand what snow monsters are, but what about the [All-seeing Watchtower]? It would be strange if a watchtower isn’t able to see into the distance, right?
‘Also… even if I did buy these things, where am I supposed to install them?
‘The castle is only so big, I can’t possibly install it in the sky garden, can I?
‘Or… Is this a theme for the virtual space?’
‘If I choose this, will my virtual space become this theme?’
Su Yang was puzzled.
While he was still confused, Su Yang and Little Deeny went to the backyard to admire the scenery.
However, to his surprise, the backyard did not change at all. Even though it had grown bigger, it was more like it had an increase in width due to the expansion of the castle.
Su Yang felt that Qing Zhu was not being valued at all.
After checking the entire virtual space, Su Yang nodded at Little Deeny. “Not bad, not bad. The point added this time seems very worth it.”
Then, he said to Little Deeny, “By the way, do you yourself have any changes?”
Little Deeny smiled sweetly. “Yes, Master.”
She said, “The number of my clones have increased from 7 to 9.”
Su Yang did some calculations. ‘That’s true, there are 2 extra now, so this means there are 10 identical Little Deenys now…’
Su Yang summarized the changes that Little Deeny had received after receiving an extra point.
‘Little Deeny herself has improved a lot, both her efficiency and learning ability has increased by about 25%. Her ability to create virtual spaces have improved. Not only can I now [Descent] into the real world, I’ve also gained many buildings that I can now purchase.
‘All in all, not bad.’
At that thought, Su Yang clapped his hands and said, “Alright, I’ve seen most of your changes. I’ll let the others in now.”
However, when Su Yang said that, Little Deeny pulled his arm and said, “Don’t, Master. You haven’t seen the most important thing.”
“The most important thing?” Su Yang was confused.
Little Deeny said, “The gate to our castle’s courtyard has opened.”
“The gate to the castle’s courtyard has opened?” Su Yang was shocked.
Actually, the virtual space has changed many times.
When Little Deeny was +1, Su Yang was only allowed to move around in the villa while other areas were restricted.
When Little Deeny was +2, the door to the villa opened, expanding into a courtyard. However, the door to the courtyard was tightly shut. No matter if Bubbles used a cannon or the [Universal Paper Key], it still could not be opened.
When Little Deeny was +3, Su Yang thought that the door to the courtyard would open. However, it did not. Instead, it expanded into a backyard with an artificial mountain, a small river, and a bamboo forest.
Luckily, the bamboo forest had been evolved into a beautiful ancient lady by Su Yang’s [Advanced Life Evolution]. Otherwise, Su Yang would have felt that the point added that time would have been a waste.
When Little Deeny had finally reached +4. When Su Yang saw that the villa had changed so much, he thought that that was already the extent of the changes in the virtual space. He did not expect the door to the courtyard to open!
‘This is so surprising!’
At that thought, Su Yang pulled Little Deeny up. “Let’s go! Let’s go take a look!”
He followed Little Deeny to the entrance of the courtyard. Little Deeny retreated to the side with a smile and gestured for Su Yang to open the door personally.
Su Yang looked at her and confirmed that Little Deeny was not Little Hus or No. 17 in disguise. After confirming that he was not being pranked, he placed his hand on the door and opened it slowly.
The moment he opened the door, Su Yang felt a gust of wind, bringing with it a refreshing breeze and the fragrance of soil.
He opens his eyes, and then… He was stunned.
‘What is this?!
‘Why is it all just soil!
‘It’s so bare, there’s nothing at all!
‘Forget trees, there’s not even a strand of grass…’
Su Yang turned to look at Little Deeny.
Little Deeny showed an expression that said, “You understand.”
Su Yang was speechless as he held his forehead. ‘After the system became +4, it has really become similar to locally-produced games with paywalls. There’s no bottomline to this, anything I want to do costs coins.
‘No wonder there were so many buildings and sceneries in the virtual space app. Looks like it’s all supposed to be used to build a world outside the courtyard!’
Actually, Su Yang had a high IQ. Previously, he had assumed that Little Deeny had only added a point and would not change that much. Now that he knew that the virtual space had changed so much after becoming +4, he could not help but think of… the Silver Mission.
He turned to look at Little Deeny in surprise and asked, “Did the virtual space turn into an island?”
Little Deeny smiled and gave another “you know it” expression.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Amazing!’
That was Su Yang’s only thought at that moment.
He finally understood why the Silver Mission was called [Establishment] and why it was such a strange mission where he needed to own an island.
‘Now that I look at it, it turns out that the virtual space did not require a room, a villa, or even a castle which was what I thought!
‘If the virtual space wanted to truly [Descent] on Earth, it would need an entire island!’
At that thought, Su Yang could no longer hold it in. He quickly got Little Deeny to bring him around the island.
The entire island which expanded out from the virtual space was not actually that big. Su Yang estimated it to be about 3 square kilometers, about the size of Chaoyang Park.
The island was round in shape, and its edges were like a thick and solid fog in the sky.
Su Yang studied it for a while. Now that he looked at the virtual space as a whole, it was similar to the prehistoric philosophy of the world: a round piece of land with a big bowl covered on top of it where no one is able to escape.
After admiring the entire virtual space, Su Yang started to ponder.
‘Since the virtual space could [Descent] to the outside world and have even expanded into such a large space, I’ve got to build it up properly, naturally.
‘The first step… I’m going to cover this entire piece of soil with green pastures.’
However, when he opened up the prices of the pastures in the virtual space building list, Su Yang felt that he should let the Little Monster Beans grow it slowly since it cost 1 coin for 10 square meters.
That doesn’t seem like a lot, does it?
However… 1 square kilometre is 1 million square meters, hence 3 square kilometers will cost 300,000 coins.
‘Tsk. I might as well rob a coin bank.’
Of course, it was no ordinary pasture. In fact, it had various functions, such as a relaxed mood, natural fragrance, etc…
However, Su Yang really couldn’t afford it…
After studying the new function of Little Deeny +4, Su Yang exited the virtual space and began to store everything including the little monsters back into the virtual space.
After a short while, other than the Little Monster Beans who were cleaning up at the villa, the other monsters and items entered the virtual space.
Su Yang picked up Little Deeny, who was as thin as a piece of paper and started to study which island he should buy.
Both of them had no experience in buying islands, so they could only search for more information online.
The more Su Yang investigated, the more confused he became. He realized that every country had different rules for buying islands.
For example, domestic islands could only be rented but not bought, and the lease was only for a duration for 99 years.
Thailand, for example, did not sell to foreigners at all.
On the other hand, in Italy, all islands are owned by the state and are not for sale. The islands that are for sale are usually signed with restrictions on development…
In summary, each country had a different set of rules for selling islands.
Su Yang was worried…
‘How am I supposed to choose?!’
The 2 of them pondered for a long time but still could not find a suitable solution. Therefore, Su Yang could only call someone else.
He already had a candidate. Wu Feng.
In his eyes, Wu Feng was one of the most well-connected people he knew, so he might know more about those things.
Therefore, he called Wu Feng directly to discuss the matter.
Wu Feng did not disappoint him. He actually knew about buying islands. Wu Feng had been bribed to buy islands before, so he knew a middleman who specialized in that area.
Su Yang added the WeChat contact that Wu Feng sent over and casually asked about the progress of “Wolf Warriors”. Wu Feng said that he had already filmed two-thirds of the movie and would finish filming in 20 days at most. He was already preparing for the post-production and marketing.
Su Yang was not surprised. When he was talking to Wu Feng, he knew that the movie would be filmed very quickly because most of the scenes were action scenes. Furthermore, as the male lead, Wu Feng occupied 80% of the scenes in the entire movie. As long as he was in a good state, he would obviously be able to go through the scenes very quickly.
And was Wu Feng doing well?
He was definitely doing well. He had been enduring a lot to prove himself. Even when he was injured, he endured the pain he went through without stopping. Everyday, he rushed through many scenes like a hardworking man desperately trying to earn his salary.
Therefore, there was a reason why the movie could be filmed so quickly.
After hanging up the call with Wu Feng, Su Yang gave a call to the special effects studio of his film company and asked them about the issues for the post-production of “Wolf Warriors”. After confirming that everything was going smoothly and that he was merely lacking in funds, he was finally relieved.
As for the money, he was not in a hurry. He had a lot of money now, so he could just transfer it out.
The next day, on Monday, the stock market opened. The value of VIMICRO continued to rise. Su Yang asked Little Hus to smell it again. After confirming that the stock’s future potential was gone, he started to let Little Deeny continue to sell.
Of course, Su Yang gave Xu Lu a call to make sure that she had sold all of her stocks before letting Little Deeny continue.
Perhaps it was because Su Yang’s capital was too high and the potential of VIMICRO was almost depleted that neither the small investors, the bankers nor the larger investors were optimistic about it. Therefore, after Su Yang threw out about 45 million yuan worth of stocks, the stock inflation could no longer hold up anymore and immediately reopened.
Su Yang had no choice but to let Little Deeny raise the stock price before he continued selling.
Thus, Su Yang sold almost all of his stocks using that method.
When he was down to the last 5 million yuan, he couldn’t care less about the price of the stock anymore. He directly sold the entire lot in 1 go. Therefore, the stock price plummeted from+10 to +1%.
At the end of the day, Su Yang did some calculations and realized that his overall selling price on that day was about +6%. He did not manage to sell the price that he had been looking forward to, which had been achieved by being completely operated by Little Deeny, the artificial intelligence.
‘If I were a normal stock trader, I’m probably going to earn much less.’
That also told Su Yang that it would not be easy to earn money through investing in stocks once his capital increased.
‘If I want to earn money in the future, I would either have to diversify my investments or use my own funds to raise the stock price like other financial companies do and then sell the stocks. However, the yield would not be as high anymore.
‘Of course, I could also invest in larger stocks or other industries.
‘After all, when I have more money, I’m going to have to look for investments that can accommodate large amounts of money.’
After that, the day passed peacefully. In the afternoon, Tang Jing returned with a large sack…
