Jianghu Money-Making Diary: The Villain's Comeback with Advanced Math

Wuxia · Wild Imagination · System · Rise to Power Lin Xiao pulls an all-nighter revising a PowerPoint presentation and dies of exhaustion. He wakes up in a wuxia world as a cannon-fodder villain. The good news: He’s activated the Fated Villain System. The bad news: His newbie gift pack contains Advanced Mathematics, Macroeconomics, and Corporate Finance. The System tells him to bully the righteous sects, cultivate demonic arts, and overthrow the martial world. He looks at his own cultivation, barely at the second rank, then at the third-rank senior brother glaring menacingly outside the door, and silently opens chapter eleven of Corporate Finance: leveraged buyouts. From then on, the martial world takes a bizarre turn. Other people cultivate with spirit stones; he cultivates by doing the books. The Demonic Cult is riding high? He engineers “inflation,” driving 300,000 cult disciples into a panic that leaves them bankrupt. The righteous alliance is struggling to care for refugees? He issues “Bonds for the People,” getting the refugees to weep as they clamor to defend peace in the martial world. A fourth-rank grandmaster tries to swindle him? He uses a bet clause to knock him down to the second rank, and the man still has to say, “Thank you.” He makes money, stirs up trouble, wrecks the martial world, and even flirts with a fourth-rank female manor lord along the way. Just as he’s about to ring the opening bell for the Martial World Exchange, the Heavenly Dao descends: “You’ve been exploiting loopholes in my rules... How about becoming an administrator?” Lin Xiao looks at the cool beauty beside him, then at his eager first-rank underling in the distance, and raises his head to ask the heavens: “Old timer... have you ever thought about retiring?” When a financial grunt starts scheming against the Heavenly Dao, the entire martial world becomes his balance sheet.
