61: Chapter 61: A Special Study of Arbitrage?

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing this, Hong Zhenhai's expression immediately turned to one of realization.

So, these star-rated users had this kind of hidden perk?

Ordinary people could only sell for tens of thousands.

But as a star-rated user, he could sell a year for 1.6 million?

The difference... was dozens of times greater!

Doesn't that mean he still had plenty of room to maneuver in the future?

Thinking of this, Hong Zhenhai's heart immediately began to burn with excitement.

Beside him, the young beauty Fang Ru spoke up at the right moment to persuade him.

"Brother Hai, what are you still hesitating for?"

"Although the account will receive this money, from now on, purchasing lifespan will be calculated in the million-tier bracket; purchasing one year of lifespan will require paying one million."

"But the selling price is 1.6 million!"

"That's a net profit of 600,000!"

"Not to mention that the current economic climate is so poor, even back in the good years, this would be enough to pay the guys below to haul how many truckloads of dirt?"

Hong Zhenhai listened and felt it made perfect sense.

"Let's do it!"

He waved his hand and clicked confirm to sell.

The next moment, the entire living room fell silent.

The lawyer, the notary, the bank manager, including the few bodyguards and A-Wei, everyone subconsciously craned their necks.

There were no surprises!

Ding!

Soon, a text message notification chimed.

Hong Zhenhai hurriedly opened it to check.

His breathing immediately became rapid!

[Dear customer, your account has received 1,600,000 yuan.]

It arrived?!

1.6 million... it really arrived?!

Hong Zhenhai checked it over and over again three times.

He also logged into his mobile banking to check.

After confirming it wasn't a scam message, and that 1.6 million in real money had actually arrived, he immediately threw his head back and laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"What is opportunity?"

"This, damn it, is what you call opportunity!"

"Gulp!"

Seeing this, A-Wei nearby finally let out a sigh of relief.

The young beauty Fang Ru covered her mouth, her face full of shock.

"The transaction is done just like that?"

"So this software... is real?!"

Hong Zhenhai, at this moment, couldn't stop his excitement.

His breathing even became heavier.

"I knew it!"

"That brat wouldn't dare lie to me!"

He laughed heartily, feeling incredibly elated.

He casually patted A-Wei on the shoulder.

"A-Wei, you did well too."

"Keep working hard, and there will definitely be rewards."

After reacting, A-Wei immediately beamed with a smile.

"Brother Hai, you flatter me. This was all according to your prior instructions; I was just following your orders. It's not worth mentioning, really not worth mentioning!"

After this round of flattery, Hong Zhenhai felt even better.

He couldn't help but start calculating in his mind.

Buying a year only cost one million.

Selling a year could earn 600,000.

What if he bought it a hundred or eighty times?

What about thousands or ten thousand times?

As if thinking of something, Hong Zhenhai's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Why not start a dedicated investment company?

To specialize in lifespan treasure arbitrage?

If it was run well, who would still do dirt hauling in the future?

After all, even a money-printing machine doesn't make money as fast as this!

Pushing those thoughts aside, Hong Zhenhai couldn't wait to return to the homepage.

He opened his personal information again.

"Surely the assets should have updated by now, right?"

Hong Zhenhai was full of anticipation.

However, the moment the page refreshed.

The smile on Hong Zhenhai's face suddenly froze.

"This... this is..."

The others saw it too, and one by one, they were stunned.

For no other reason than...

[Assets: 788,055,321.56 yuan]

Silence, deathly silence.

Hong Zhenhai blinked, then rubbed his eyes.

He looked at it again.

That's right!

788 million!

The number above hadn't decreased; it had increased!

"What the hell?"

Hong Zhenhai was bewildered. "How can this be?!"

A-Wei was also bewildered and silently stepped back two paces.

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

None of them understood.

And just then.

Hong Zhenhai suddenly frowned.

"Wait..."

He felt a strange sensation in his lower back.

Soreness.

Swelling.

And a familiar stinging pain.

The next second, the pain suddenly intensified!

"Ah!!!"

Hong Zhenhai bent over sharply, veins bulging on his forehead.

His entire face instantly twisted and contorted.

"Brother Hai!"

"President Hong!"

"What's wrong?"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

However, Hong Zhenhai couldn't speak at all.

He felt as if his lower back had been struck by a steel rod!

He was sweating all over from the pain.

Hong Zhenhai subconsciously lifted his shirt to look at his lower back.

The next second, the whole room gasped in unison.

"Holy crap!!"

"Your waist!!"

"President Hong, your waist!!"

They saw that at the position of his lower back!

A visible, exaggerated arch was bulging out!

As if something was pushing out from inside!

"A herniated disc!"

"Oh no!"

"President Hong's disc has herniated!!"

Someone exclaimed.

By now, Hong Zhenhai was in so much pain he was nearly on his knees.

His entire face was deathly pale.

"What's going on?!"

"What the hell is going on!!"

A-Wei was also startled.

But soon, a memory flashed through his mind of a revelation he'd scrolled past before.

His expression changed instantly!

"Oh no!"

"Selling lifespan causes aging!"

"Physical condition also declines synchronously!"

"Brother Hai's herniated disc was already very serious before!"

"He's been doing rehabilitation therapy for years, barely maintaining it!"

"Now that he's sold a year of lifespan, it's equivalent to being a year older!"

"So all the aging that should happen in a year has happened all at once?!"

"..."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.

This can happen?

Fang Ru panicked too and hurriedly pulled out her phone.

"Quick!"

"Call 120!"

But just then.

Hong Zhenhai, trembling all over from the pain.

Suddenly acted as if he had grabbed a lifeline.

His eyes lit up sharply.

It still showed the original assets; could they be used?

But in reality, had his assets been cleared to zero, meaning he didn't have to spend a cent?

Thinking of this, he endured the pain.

Trembling, he tapped open the lifespan treasure again.

He entered the lifespan trading interface.

He selected purchase lifespan.

The page refreshed.

But the next second, Hong Zhenhai froze.

Fang Ru beside him froze.

A-Wei also froze.

Because on the screen, it clearly displayed:

[Total assets over 100 million.]

[Purchasing one year of lifespan requires paying 10% of total assets.]

[You are a low star-rated user; purchase price is doubled.]

[Current purchase requires payment: 20%.]

[Estimated payment: 157,611,064.312 yuan.]

What?!

Hong Zhenhai felt like he was about to crack apart.

"157 million?!"

"Why don't you go rob someone instead!"

He was furious!

Completely furious!

For a moment, he even forgot the pain.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on A-Wei's forehead.

He had been hyping it up for so long just now...

What high-level user?

What star-rated perks?

And now... how did it end up like this?

He felt like he was done for!!

Sure enough!

The next second, Hong Zhenhai's friendly greeting rang out in the room.

"A-Wei! I [expletive] your [expletive]...!"
