Chapter 884: Finance

"Even though you say that... but..." one of the Can Yu Zhe participants, a boy, still looked somewhat disbelieving.

"It's fine." Bai Yang pointed behind him and asked, "Do you see the red light on the Di Niu statue?"

Everyone followed Bai Yang's finger, and indeed, the statue of the Niu was lit up with a red light.

"So what?"

"You can verify it slowly, or you can go to the Di Niu area right now and ask if he just won the game." Bai Yang said, "My game is just starting, as the saying goes, everything is hard in the beginning. You'll naturally understand what Ji Le Qian Zhuang means over time. I can't control the entire display screen's outcome; it all depends on the other Sheng Xiao."

The Can Yu Zhe participants glanced at each other after hearing this, seemingly pondering something.

"Alright... I'll tentatively believe you're telling the truth." A girl said, then shifted her gaze toward me and Jiang Ruoxue, asking, "I just don't get it—what's the point of 'reserving' for a game like this? And there are even VIPs... Aren't you going to explain?"

"This is exactly the final play style of this game." Bai Yang said, "As I mentioned at the start, since my name is Qian Zhuang, my main business is still 'depositing money'. These two guests just made a 'large deposit' with me, and each put in twenty Dao."

"'Depositing' twenty Dao?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Including me and Jiang Ruoxue.

"The display screen here will conduct a 'total evaluation' on the last day." Bai Yang said, "You can designate your Dao to be deposited under a specific Sheng Xiao. If that Sheng Xiao ends up with a 'total red' over the ten days, the deposit will gain a 10% bonus; if it's 'total green', it will incur a 10% deduction; and if it's 'total white', it stays the same. These changes take effect immediately, and you can choose to withdraw at any time in the cycle."

I swallowed slightly after hearing this. As I thought, Bai Yang was using the simple logic of winning lights up red and losing lights up green to try to build a massive financial institution.

I was about to turn and say something to Jiang Ruoxue when I noticed her face gradually turning pale, with sweat starting to bead on it.

"So this place... is really a Qian Zhuang...?" The Can Yu Zhe participants said in disbelief, "A 10% fluctuation every ten days—that's way too extreme..."

"But you can withdraw anytime." Bai Yang said, "Even a second before the 'total evaluation'."

"But how do we know if we'll profit or lose...?" One of the men said.

"You're wrong—you can know." Bai Yang said, "Have you forgotten? My 'total evaluation' is based on the Sheng Xiao's performance. As long as you keep observing the Sheng Xiao, or even actively participate in that Sheng Xiao's game, you can definitely predict their 'total evaluation'. Smart people can make money from me, but fools are out of luck."

Bai Yang's words made everyone fall silent in thought.

Yes... from every angle, this was a very feasible scheme.

Even if this game was Di Ji, as long as you were careful and had enough capital, you could definitely earn Dao here.

Wait a minute... I suddenly felt something was off...

A Di Ji game?

Was the ultimate goal of a Di Ji game to earn Dao?

Before I could figure it out, Jiang Ruoxue beside me suddenly wavered and nearly collapsed. I quickly caught her.

"Ruoxue...?" I whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Something's not right..." Jiang Ruoxue held her forehead, looking weak as she said to me, "It's just the simplest Yin Guo... Why am I so tired...?"

"I'll take you to rest first!" I said, then glanced back at Bai Yang, who had noticed Jiang Ruoxue's change.

"She..." Bai Yang seemed about to say something but held back. "If you have no other business, you can leave first."

I nodded, about to lead Jiang Ruoxue away, when Bai Yang seemed to remember something. He stepped forward a few paces and came up to us.

"Wait."

"What is it...?" I asked.

"Yin Guo." Bai Yang whispered, "How long have you preserved your memories?"

"At least three or five years, why?" Jiang Ruoxue lifted her head and said weakly.

"No matter how long, have you ever used Yin Guo on other 'display screens' before?"

"No." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head. "As far as I remember, this is the first time."

"Good." Bai Yang nodded. "Get plenty of rest; you'll get used to it soon. This Yin Guo will make you even stronger."

I didn't say anything more and hurriedly led Jiang Ruoxue out of Bai Yang's game area.

I found a shady, well-ventilated building and helped Jiang Ruoxue inside to sit down. But she still didn't feel well, so I found a wooden board for her to lie down on.

She placed the back of her hand on her forehead, breathing heavily.

She even seemed a bit like she had a fever, but when I touched her forehead, it was just cold sweat.

"Ruoxue..." I looked at her worriedly, not knowing what the problem was. "Are you really okay?"

"This is so strange..." Jiang Ruoxue replied, "It's clearly the simplest 'true-false logic'... but it feels more exhausting than when I created Ji Dao back then..."

Hearing that, I furrowed my brow slightly.

More exhausting than creating Ji Dao?

Wait a minute... I think I get it...

If everything was logical and aligned with what we knew, it could only mean that the Yin Guo Bai Yang had Jiang Ruoxue apply was more complex than it appeared on the surface. Its complexity even surpassed creating Ji Dao.

"Go on..." Jiang Ruoxue opened one eye halfway and said weakly, "Whenever you make that face, it means you've figured something important out."

"Yes... Ruoxue... but wait a moment..." I blinked. "The situation is a bit too complicated... I need to think about how to explain it... I need some time to organize my thoughts..."

"'Complicated'...?" Jiang Ruoxue sighed deeply. "Are you talking about Bai Yang's game? What exactly did he do?"

"If I'm not mistaken... the Yin Guo in this game is too vast, and it includes a 'logic loop'. That 'logic loop' is probably what's making you feel so drained... because the Yin Guo is trapping itself!"

"Ah...?" Jiang Ruoxue sat up abruptly after hearing this, her weakness seeming to lessen. "Tell me more!"
