He transmigrated into a demonic sect, where whoever ranked last in monthly points was turned into blood food. With the sect tournament fast approaching, his golden finger frantically sounded the alarm: [Entering the inner sect tournament and fighting head-on: 99% chance of death!]
Just as everyone thought Gu Changsheng was about to risk it all, he turned around and bet his entire fortune on himself suffering a crushing defeat in the tournament! Not only that, he also sold the life-saving pills issued by the sect at an exorbitant price to his strongest rival!
The entire sect interpreted this string of god-tier moves as the domineering declaration of an unparalleled demon overlord!
Rival: "By betting on his own loss, he's using his immense fortune to tell me that my victory is worthless in his eyes! Such contempt! I'll kill him!"
Elder: "He gave his rival pills to set him up for a fall! He wants to make him a target for everyone, then reap the benefits himself! This young man has the makings of a peerless overlord!"
Gu Changsheng was panicking inside. He just wanted to stay alive! Everything he did was based solely on the cold data provided by his golden finger, [Absolute Risk Aversion].
While other disciples killed people and seized their treasures, he resold "high-value, safe task lists," collecting "service fees" and completing "risk hedges."
While other prodigies fought bloody battles in secret realms, he stayed near the outskirts and used "information arbitrage" to sell overlooked companion herbs at exorbitant prices.
While other sects fought vicious battles, he had already begun helping his own sect design "sect contribution shares," preparing to "go public and raise capital" and use the resources of the entire cultivation world to "leverage his way to ascension"!
