With 50 million VND in his account, Chen Fan didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately accessed the website of the tech startup he had targeted: "TechForge Innovations." In his past life, this was an almost anonymous name at this point, but three years later, it would become a symbol of technological breakthroughs, valued at billions of dollars.
He navigated to the investment section, where angel investors could inject capital into promising projects. TechForge Innovations was currently in its Series A funding round, with a very low valuation.
"Ding! Detecting minimum investment amount for TechForge Innovations is 10 million VND."
The System's voice resonated. Chen Fan smirked. In his past life, he wouldn't even have known this information existed. He entered the amount: 50,000,000 VND.
Confirmed. A transaction confirmation email was sent to his inbox. That was it. With just a few clicks, he had sown the seeds for a future colossal fortune. This feeling was truly vastly different from his past life, where he struggled for every single penny.
"Ding! Main Quest updated: Earn Billions!"
"Description: Establish Host's own company or financial empire, achieving a total asset value of 1,000 billion VND within 5 years."
"Reward: 500 Experience Points, 50 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, one Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, one Initial-Grade Heavenly Earth Spiritual Object."
"Time Limit: 5 years."
Chen Fan frowned. 1,000 billion VND in 5 years? A colossal sum, even with his future knowledge. But the rewards were also extremely generous: a Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe and a Heavenly Earth Spiritual Object. These were essential for him to break through to higher cultivation realms.
He wasn't in a hurry. The road was long. The most important thing now was his power. He still needed 100 more experience points to break through the Initial Qi Refining Stage.
Chen Fan's eyes suddenly fell upon the Initial-Grade Cosmos Bag he had just received. It was a simple, small cloth bag, but it contained a separate space within.
"Ding! Initial-Grade Cosmos Bag. Capacity: 10 cubic meters. Can store non-living items. Independent, immutable space."
Chen Fan grasped the bag. He tried putting his old phone inside. With just a thought, the phone immediately vanished from his hand and appeared within the Cosmos Bag's space. He tried taking it out again, and it instantly reappeared.
How convenient!
He looked around his cluttered rented room. His old laptop, a few sets of clothes, books... all could be put into the Cosmos Bag. This would be incredibly useful for hiding cultivation resources later, or simply for moving his belongings.
He tried putting a few low-grade spirit stones into the bag. Immediately, he felt a strange connection with them, as if they were right in his hand.
Chen Fan knew he needed a better environment for cultivation. This rented room was too cramped, and the spiritual energy here was too thin. He needed a quieter place with more abundant spiritual energy.
With 50 million VND already invested, he wouldn't have much cash on hand. But he wasn't worried. With his intellect, making money would no longer be an issue.
The immediate task was to find a new residence. A place that was not only comfortable but could also support his cultivation. He recalled a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city, an area with plenty of green spaces, fresh air, and notably, close to a large park with a natural lake. In his past life, he'd vaguely heard whispers about it having good feng shui and abundant spiritual energy, though back then he'd dismissed it as superstition.
Spiritual energy... Can I really sense it there?
Chen Fan stood up. He had made his decision. Before sunset, he would find a new place to live. A new beginning, for a new life, a new journey.
