Chapter 301 Entrance Ticket to the Tower of Babel
Zhou Haihai was furious. He had to find a way to squeeze into the top three on the list so he could earn interest.
However, the gap between him and Chen Leying, who is ranked third, is too large, and this map costs money everywhere. How can he make money?
He quickly came up with an idea and posted a message in the chat area: "To thank my new and old customers for their support, I'm launching a deposit-and-earn-interest program. You can deposit any spare cash you don't need with me. The longer you deposit, the higher the interest. Also, customers who deposit with me will get free access to my first-hand information on new map predictions. If you're interested, feel free to contact me anytime."
Pear Juice Tea: "Speaking of which, Zhou Haihai, are your predictions any good? You were wrong last time, and you didn't predict the money pit this time either. Your news doesn't seem to be particularly important to us."
The victim exclaimed, "Get interest on your savings? Are you running a charity? Is there really such a good thing in the world? How are you going to pay us the interest?"
Little Duck: "Anti-fraud Center reminds you: Easy entry, strict exit is a scam! A free lunch is also a scam! Be careful, you might not even get your principal back!"
Zhou Haihai: "Everyone can rest assured that not a single penny of the money you have here will be missing. This is my promise to you."
Huang Ying A's forced renaming version: "These days, what's the use of promises? This map requires money everywhere, and everyone treats money like their own eyes. Unless they're crazy, who would deposit their money with a stranger?"
Zhou Haihai: "I know that words alone are not enough, and it's understandable that everyone has doubts about me. To be honest, my purpose in doing this is to challenge for the top spot on the leaderboard. The top player earns interest every day, and the interest I pay to everyone comes from that. As for everyone's concerns about not being able to withdraw their principal, I promise that no matter whether you deposit for one day or one month, as long as you want to withdraw, I will immediately settle your principal and interest!"
Zhou Haihai is not afraid that others will follow suit and imitate his methods.
After all, he has a trump card that others don't; he can predict the new map.
Just because it wasn't predicted this time doesn't mean it won't be predicted next time.
As long as players deposit money with him, they can know his predictions, and there's no reason for them to refuse.
Sure enough, his "sincere" remarks won the favor of some people.
Banana: "Uh, so Zhou Haihai wanted to raise funds to try and get the number one spot. I don't know why, but I feel relieved that he was so frank about his purpose. I'm not worried that it's a trap."
I am a free bird: "Moreover, not only can you get interest by depositing money with him, you can also get his predictions about the new map, which is really tempting."
Mhaki: "We might not even survive on this map, let alone the next one? No matter how nice Zhou Haihai's words are, I don't trust anyone else with my money. I don't want to lose the big picture for a small gain."
Mian Mengyu: "Moreover, the premise for Zhou Haihai to be able to pay the interest is that he can squeeze into the top three on the list, which is too difficult."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Hanmei's eyes lit up.
Zhou Haihai's idea is great!
She can also use this method to make money!
Moreover... compared to Zhou Haihai's unreliable prediction, she has a more reassuring item for players: contracts!
The only useful thing about the money-making system is that it can generate a contract according to her wishes. This contract protects both the buyer and seller, so players don't have to worry about her not returning the principal.
Jiang Hanmei immediately began drafting the contract, detailing all the specifics.
After confirming that everything was correct, she also posted a message in the chat area: "The number one fan is here to give out benefits! Deposit money and get interest, the more you deposit, the more you get, it's a win-win situation! Don't worry about not getting your principal back, I've attached a [contract], the money you deposit with me is absolutely safe and guaranteed."
Feiyan said, "Even the top-ranked fan is out here trying to attract customers."
Lying down, reading novels or listening to audiobooks: "Wow, there are even props like contracts... Isn't that more reassuring than empty promises?"
A slightly nerdy guy: "And Hanmei's interest rate is so high, it's three percent per day! Zhou Haihai is so stingy, he only gives one percent per day."
Soon, players started messaging Hanmei privately, asking about saving money.
Jiang Hanmei breathed a long sigh of relief; at least for the time being, she wouldn't have to worry.
Meng Qingyin witnessed everything that just happened. Although the opportunity to make money was gone, she wasn't too disappointed.
Hanmei's [Contract] guarantees that players' principal will not be lost, which is its biggest selling point and something that others simply cannot compete with.
Meng Qingyin stopped paying attention to the matter and continued driving, searching for supply boxes.
After a morning, she found three supply boxes. To her surprise, it cost 5 silver coins to open each box.
Supply boxes have a chance to contain coins; she has previously obtained anywhere from 1 to 10 silver coins.
Besides silver coins, there are some basic supplies that aren't very valuable.
It costs 5 silver coins to open a chest, which means you need to open 5 silver coins to break even.
It's too much about looks.
Even so, Meng Qingyin still spent 15 silver coins to open the box.
With her daily interest alone exceeding one hundred gold coins, would she even care about 15 silver coins?
Even if she loses everything, it won't affect her much.
She wasn't opening the supply crates to make money, but rather for the items inside.
Although the chance of getting an item is very small now, once you do get it, the 15 silver coins are well worth the money.
She opened three supply boxes in one go and obtained 7 silver coins, a small amount of vehicle upgrade materials, and a [Tower of Babel Admission Ticket (1h)].
[Tower of Babel Admission Ticket (1 hour): The Tower of Babel, a legendary structure that suppresses all the demonic beasts of this world, its true height unknown. Each floor of the Tower of Babel is guarded by demonic beasts; defeating them yields coins and a chance to drop certain items, with rewards increasing with each floor. This ticket grants entry to the Tower of Babel for one hour. Note: The Tower of Babel is extremely dangerous and requires a five-person team to enter.]
The Tower of Babel that suppresses demonic beasts?
Will killing an enemy result in a reward?
Meng Qingyin's eyes flickered slightly. Wasn't this the best opportunity to make her little one stronger?
She glanced at the little one playing with Yuanbao and said, "Little one, let's go eat at a buffet."
The little one immediately looked over, eyes lighting up: "A buffet?"
Meng Qingyin said meaningfully, "Yes, eat as much as you want."
The little one wagged its tail excitedly, "I want to go! I want to go!"
