Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 458: Investment Hot

Europe.

The Sun Never Sets Empire.

Inside the villa estate of the Array Master branch president.

William from the Windsor Royal Family paid a visit to Branch President James and presented a Core Formation Pill on his desk.

James, with his eyes closed, hummed through his nose, "Do you know that what you are doing is bribing a senior member of the guild? Although I’m in need of this Breakthrough Pill, once I accept your favor, I will owe a debt of gratitude to your royal family."

William generously said, "Lord James need not feel any burden. This Elixir is purely an investment from our family, limited only to the National War. After that, you will owe us nothing."

He continued frankly, "This time our opponent is East Central Sahte. To speak frankly, their strength is not weak, and furthermore, our Europe has had its powers divided. If we wish to break out and win against them, besides the competition of Magical Treasures, the role of Array Masters is crucial."

"We all know that a Jiedan cultivator at the Core Formation Stage is a watershed. They can set up many supportive formations, including mass-killing arrays and attack buffs, which play a significant role for cultivators of the same tier. I believe the opponents will definitely seek to win over Array Masters to join the National War."

After saying this, James slightly opened his eyes.

William knew there was a chance.

He continued, "You just need to participate in this National War and set up various buff formations to support our top-tier Core Formation cultivators, and consider this Elixir as our token of gratitude. No matter the outcome of the battle, you should feel no mental burden."

There was still some pride in James’s bones.

After all, you have to look at the institution to which he belongs.

The Four Great Unions!

This is a department designated by the Taoist Ancestor.

He is also the stationed Branch President in the Sun Never Sets Empire.

It’s an influential position where even the Sun Never Sets Windsor Family Master would show him respect.

The one thing the guild abhors most is getting too close to families, you can have business cooperation, but you cannot be corrupt and owe favors.

He didn’t want to be disciplined for this.

"Let me apply and ask the headquarters first," James said.

William smiled, "No problem, I’ll leave the pill here for your convenience."

After speaking, he bowed and left the estate.

Not only James, but Array Master members stationed around the world also called Branch President Bruno at the headquarters during this time.

And Bruno raised his head and looked to the sky for instruction from his own mentor.

At last, a golden character "可" appeared above Bruno’s head!

This meant that the Array Masters and Professional Masters were permitted to participate in their country’s National War.

Bruno immediately sent the permission via fax to Branch Presidents worldwide.

After James received the response, he reached out, took the Breakthrough Pill from the table, and popped it into his mouth, advancing himself to the Core Formation Stage!

Simultaneously, in the Array Master branches of various countries, they also received resource investments from the national families on Array Masters.

Apart from this, many Loose Cultivators also found opportunities.

As many noble families held Foundation Establishment Pills and Core Formation Pills that couldn’t be used on their own clan members, they had no choice but to invest in Loose Cultivators who were ready for a breakthrough.

Again, the problem is that the majority of the clan members are only at the middle stages due to a lack of Spirit Stones and the inability to rush to the late stage in a short time, leaving them unable to use the Breakthrough Pills and forcing them to divert these resources into investing in Loose Cultivators.

If it had been in the past, the large clans would never have given such important resources to outsiders.

Even if those loose cultivators were willing to pledge allegiance, the clans wouldn’t want them.

But now, for the sake of that 70% investment share and special rewards, the clans decided to release more resources to the loose cultivators and recruit them to join their own families.

There is a mechanism in place, where you can click to enter the [Arena: National War] channel in the[Investment]management, and then upload your elixirs.

You can set options such as [Strength Requirements] and [Clan Contract] in the gift settings.

Strength Requirements mean that only loose cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage can receive your [Foundation Establishment Pill], and then you can also exchange a [Contract] from the [Arena] shop that requires the other party to sign a contract to join the clan before they can receive it, among other conditions.

Of course, not all loose cultivators are willing to be bound by a clan, so if you attach a [Contract], many may not be willing to take it.

It depends on the individual’s choice.

Once an elixir is claimed by a loose cultivator on the [Investment] platform and if they break through and then make meritorious deeds in the [National War], the points will be credited to the investor’s clan.

In the end, whichever clan has more points, will be able to share the rewards of the 70% Spirit Stone prize pool, which also includes Nascent Soul Pills and High-level Magical Treasure Materials received after entering the top three.

That is to say, you can’t choose who to give to; the mechanism is random.

Once you put it on the platform, it’s up to fate who clicks on it and whether they can successfully break through.

Gu Feng had to do this to take care of grassroots loose cultivators.

As for who can snatch them up, it’s up to their own speed.

Dragon Nation.

Inside the arena.

A group of loose cultivators all opened the [Investment] platform, staring unblinkingly at the refresh of the item column. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was too competitive.

There were simply too many cultivators in Dragon Nation.

As soon as a few dozen families put up [Foundation Establishment Pills], they would immediately be snatched away by others with quicker reflexes.

"Dammit, aren’t you guys picky at all, scrambling even for ones with [Contracts]? Don’t you see what level of family it is before rashly snatching? Aren’t you afraid of joining a rubbish clan? This could ruin your life."

Someone who hadn’t managed to get any couldn’t help but complain.

Which drew a round of derisive looks from those around: "As a loose cultivator, you have the nerve to be choosy? No matter whether it’s a large clan or not, any group capable of producing Foundation Establishment Pills surely won’t be small. Besides, one Foundation Establishment Pill is now equivalent to 1.5 billion US dollars, or 1000 Spirit Stones. How long would it take for a loose cultivator like you to earn that much money?"

"Exactly, forget Foundation Establishment Pills, even the neighboring camps are more competitive for Qi Refining Pills."

Then someone opened the platforms of other countries to have a look.

They almost cried when they saw what was there.

"No way, why are there so many Foundation Establishment Pills in Touguo and no one’s grabbing them? And in East Middle, and on the platforms of nations like the Brunei Royal Family, there’s a bunch of Foundation Establishment Pills and Qi Refining Pills—why is no one grabbing them?"

Someone explained: "Those are countries controlled by tycoons, where the resources are already in the hands of the royal families or tycoons. The population of loose cultivators is top-heavy, resulting in many who want to breakthrough with Foundation Establishment Pills, but most are at the Qi Refining Early or Middle Stages; or they are martial artists who have not reached the Innate level. They do not meet the strength requirements for breakthroughs, causing many elixirs to hang on the platform with no one able to meet the conditions to snatch them!"

Hearing this, those slow-handed loose cultivators from Dragon Nation felt even more like crying.

The capital of each region across the country was investing in elixirs, but there were simply too many people, making it really hard to grab any.

Meanwhile, the Five Major Tycoons in neighboring Touguo found that after a long time, no one was snatching up their elixirs, so they withdrew the [Contracts].

Still no one took them.

This made them anxious, and Touguo’s Qingwa higher-ups cursed in a press conference, saying, "We gave you a chance, but you’re useless, a bunch of waste, shitheads!"
