Chapter 95: Golden Eyes
[Ding~! The protagonist has been reborn, initiating a destined confrontation. As the female lead Xia Shiyu’s affection for the host has reached maximum, she automatically joins the villain camp. If the host dies, Xia Shiyu will also die~!].
“Xiaoyu became a villain, what about Xiaowan?”
[The female lead Lin Xiaowan’s affection has not reached maximum, so she cannot join the villain camp. Host, please note, once joining the villain camp, it cannot be changed again. If the host dies, the female lead will also die.].
“Wow… that’s harsh, isn’t it? Xiaowan is already at 99, she could reach full affection at any moment. If I lose to Lin Tian, will they both die with me?”
[Host, to be precise, it’s the protaganist who will end up killing them.].
“Got it.”
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for preemptively planning against Zhao Yanyan, suppressing the protaganist Lin Tian, causing him to lose an important aide, reducing his protagonist’s luck by 10%. Host receives one draw from the Emperor’s treasure box.]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for preemptively planning against Lin Yourong, suppressing the male lead Lin Tian, causing him to lose an important background, reducing his protagonist’s luck by 20%. Host receives two draws from the Emperors treasure box.].
“This has already reduced three layers. Seems like this protaganist is easy to deal with,” Su Lin thought cheerfully.
[Host, it’s necessary to remind you that although the protaganist luck has been reduced by three layers from the start, his weaknesses have also disappeared. To suppress the him, you must confront him head-on, and his high luck value may lead to unexpected events.].
Su Lin: “…”
“System, how much luck needs to be reduced before I can directly kill a protagonist?”
[In theory, the current world is still governed by law, so the system does not recommend the host to kill. You can use methods similar to Lin Yourong’s death to eliminate him, which can be used at any time without backlash.].
Su Lin nodded: “That means using natural phenomena to cause accidental death. Like, he steps out, and suddenly a banana peel falls off a passing car, he slips, and hits his head against a wall.”
[Yes, Host!].
Su Lin understood the system’s intention. “But with such high luck value, how could such natural phenomena happen to him? Seems like the first task is to reduce his luck.”
[Host, high luck doesn’t mean accidents won’t happen. Remember, man can conquer nature! Otherwise, why would this system exist?].
Su Lin nodded, already scheming in his mind. Lin Tian was planning to open a supermarket; he’d see how it goes.
With a management genius, two business prodigies, his own enhancements, and several million in funds, if he couldn’t beat Lin Tian, then he really would have wasted his time.
“System, let’s draw! Wait, let me wash my hands first.” After thoroughly washing his hands, Su Lin was ready.
[Wow~! Legendary gold, congratulations to the host for drawing the superpower ‘Golden Eyes’ (can predict stock market fluctuations, jade in stone, antiques, paintings, etc.).]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for drawing a box of ultra-thin durex.]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for drawing a box of kidney-strengthening pills.].
Darn!!
Su Lin was taken aback by these rewards, questioning whether it was implying something about his kidney health.
“Forget it, these rewards don’t seem very useful. But at least I finally got something worthwhile this time.”
Golden Eyes was indeed a great asset. Su Lin blinked, looking around his room. Other than clearer vision, there seemed to be no special effect.
He then logged into the Tonghua Shun stock trading platform and immediately noticed the change in his eyes. Whenever he focused on a stock, its performance over the next three days appeared before his eyes.
[Zhongyang Shares, June 10th, will surge 7 points, buying up to 10 million will not cause any change.]. [Liutong Steel Materials, June 10th, will rise 4 points, buying up to 50 million will not cause any change.].
Su Lin pondered, “What if I buy 50 million worth of Zhongyang stocks?” As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the K-line chart for Zhongyang stocks transformed.
His large purchase led the stock manipulators to artificially inflate the price, then dump billions worth of shares, causing a plummeting market crash.
“Market crash? What if I buy all the dumped shares?” Su Lin wondered. The chart transformed again, showing that if he bought all the dumped shares, it would trigger a surge in public investment, leading to a massive rise in Zhongyang stocks.
“Ah, these Golden Eyes are truly incredible. With this, I’m in an invincible position,” Su Lin thought. He realized that with his ability, any stock he chose to buy, and however much he decided to invest, the future of that stock would change accordingly, ensuring his profit.
Su Lin still had 20 million at his disposal. “I’ll open a brokerage account and play the stock market. With this, the stock market will become my personal ATM,” he mused, appreciating the power of the Golden Eyes.
“Now, let’s visit some antique markets and stone gambling shops to see if there might be unexpected surprises.”
Just then, Su Lin received a call from Su Zhenguo, his father. He had returned to Donghai as the situation there had changed, allowing his construction project to begin earlier than planned.
Su Lin knew for sure that Lin Yourong’s death had removed the obstacle, enabling his father’s project to proceed.
The construction site, strictly compliant with standards, had been stalled due to Lin Yourong’s concerns about its impact on agriculture. Now, with Lin Yourong gone, no one could hinder the project’s progress.
At the entrance of Donghai City People’s Hospital.
The doctor, with a helpless expression, said to Lin Tian and Ning Yunying, “The patient has passed away, I’m sorry, we did everything we could. You can go in to see him for the last time.”
Ning Yunying fainted instantly, but Lin Tian, with his quick reflexes, caught her, “Mom! Mom!”
“Doctor, please check on my mom.”
“Your mother just fainted from the shock. Pinch her philtrum, it should help,” the doctor advised.
Lin Tian nodded and pinched Ning Yunying’s philtrum.
“Xiao Tian, your dad… he’s really gone?”
Lin Tian nodded, “Dad’s gone, Mom, don’t worry, I will avenge Dad.”
“Avenge?” Ning Yunying looked at Lin Tian in confusion.
“I suspect that Dad was murdered, not an accident,” Lin Tian said calmly.
“Murdered? That’s impossible, your dad was a man of integrity, never involved with bad people. Why would anyone want to murder him?” Ning Yunying said in disbelief.
To this, Lin Tian just scoffed and said, “Dad was too upright, and that’s why he blocked someone’s way. Blocking someone’s way led to his murder.”
“Do you have any evidence for what you’re saying, Xiao Tian?”
“If I had evidence, I would have already called the police to arrest someone,” Lin Tian shook his head.
Ning Yunying nodded, somewhat skeptically. She noticed that Lin Tian seemed different but didn’t think much of it, attributing it to Lin Yourong’s death and his coming of age.
Looking at Ning Yunying’s haggard appearance, Lin Tian felt a deep anger in his heart. He was determined to find the person responsible and make them pay dearly.
In his previous life, Ning Yunying passed away from depression before he even graduated from university. In this life, he didn’t want to witness the same scene again.
“No matter who you are, you must die, you must die!!!”
