Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Everyone Goes Crazy!

Chapter 68: Are there still people eager to fall for the scam?

After speaking, Mr. Dou gracefully bowed to everyone and slowly stepped off the stage.

"By the way, please contact my subordinate Master Yu for refund processing."

Elegant! Absolutely so elegant!

If one was initially somewhat skeptical of Master Yu's claim of percentage-based profits, now that Mr. Dou has arrived, he is completely convinced.

After all, they explained all the potential risks and Master Yu's mistakes, and even offered an immediate refund. How could that be fake?

Moreover, those in the know recognized that Mr. Dou's clothes and appearance were worth no less than tens of thousands of gold soul coins. Coupled with his unpretentious manner, compared with the spoiled young masters of the Heaven Dou Empire, Mr. Dou suddenly seemed to be the real aristocrat!

"Wow! It's not 1.5 times, but distributed according to the investment ratio. Doesn't that mean the more you invest, the larger your share, and the bigger your cut after opening the treasure?"

Some shrewd people immediately began to calculate.

"How could that be? If we all vote too much, then we'll get less in prize money!"

"Yeah, so you shouldn't vote! Let me do it!"

"What?! You actually wanted to secretly add more votes behind my back! Besides, the spots were already full!"

"Are you stupid! I can vote for later installments! The salvage operation isn't just a one-off!"

"Yeah! Wait for me!"

Some people who were originally wavering and hesitant, upon hearing that the plan was not initiated by Master Yu and seeing Mr. Dou's aristocratic demeanor, were also tempted. Coupled with the frenzied buying by those around them, they finally made up their minds.

"Let's go for it! Even if it risks sinking the ship, we'll go for it! Let's gamble and turn this wheelbarrow into a horse-drawn carriage!"

"What's there to be afraid of! As long as there are enough investors and sufficient funds, the fleet will be established, and the probability of shipwrecks will be greatly reduced or even eliminated! So we need to get more people to invest!"

"That makes sense! I'll go and persuade those who are still hesitating right now. We can't afford to lose a ship or a soul master just because we're short one or two gold soul coins!"

"What's with all the fighting? Honestly, everyone says it's conservatively estimated to be several hundred billion gold soul coins. Don't forget about those big sects and powerful families. We only have tens of thousands of people investing at most. Proportionally speaking, even if we invested all the gold soul coins we had, we'd only get a fraction of a percent. Wait, that's almost ten thousand gold soul coins!"

"Stop talking, I'll go and place another bet right now!"

"Aren't you guys really afraid of the ship sinking?"

"They say it's a major sect, how could it possibly sink! It's perfectly stable!"

After Mr. Dou Niwan's impassioned speech, the people of Tiandou City went crazy, and the amount of investment soared rapidly. Not counting the big families of the sects, the amount reached several million gold soul coins, and if you include Prince Xuexing of the sect, it can reach tens of millions of gold soul coins!

"Master Yu! Little San! My good friends! My Ancient God Treasure Hunt project was able to proceed smoothly thanks to your promotion!"

"Not at all, Mr. Dou. Without your help back then, my mistress and I wouldn't be where we are today!"

"We've now raised over 15 million Gold Soul Coins! Our Ancient God Treasure Project can be considered a resounding success!"

It took Dou Niwan, Master Yu, and Tang San quite a while to figure out the approximate number of gold soul coins. During this time, Master Yu and Tang San also helped a lot by running around.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. I'm leaving Tiandou City tomorrow, so this is for you!"

Dou Niwan was quite satisfied with these two as the lower-level executors of the entire plan, and immediately handed them the soul tool containing more than five million gold soul coins.

"Let's part ways amicably and cooperate again in the future!"

Seeing Dou Niwan's generosity in handing over the huge sum of money to Tang San and Master Yu without even blinking, the two men's breathing quickened.

Such extravagance, showing no concern for gold soul coins whatsoever—this person is indeed a wealthy nobleman! This Ancient God Treasure Plan must be real!

Tang San and Master Yu exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.

"We'll also invest this money in the Ancient God's Treasure Project!"

"Huh? This?"

What's going on?! Are these two crazy? They actually believe this?!

Dou Niwan, who had always regarded the two masters and apprentices as his partners in swindling, thinking he would make a big profit and share it with his apprentices, and then they would find a place to settle down and quit, looked at the two masters and apprentices with a strange expression.

These two can't actually believe it, can they? Isn't that idiotic?

Are you sure?

Seeing Dou Niwan's hesitant and uncertain appearance, Tang San and Master Yu thought it was as if he didn't want them to continue investing and share more of the treasure.

The two gritted their teeth and each grabbed one of Dou Niwan's legs to prevent him from leaving.

"Brother! Please, let us have a bigger share of the treasure! My master and I can't survive without you! With your wisdom, power, and wealth, you certainly don't need our share of the treasure! Let us invest and get a bigger cut!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Dou Niwan was stunned.

"If you don't want our investment, then my apprentice and I will go and tell everyone right now that the treasure is actually much more valuable! You still have a lot of hidden treasure value that you haven't revealed!"

Master Yu's explanation completely baffled Dou Niwan. This was the first time he had ever seen someone begging him to lie!

These two, master and apprentice, both knew his name was Dou Niwan. They were just kidding. It's obviously a fake name he used to deceive people!

He had thought that Master Yu, who could deceive all the Soul Masters on the continent, was some kind of fraud master, which was why he approached him for funding and wanted to work together to swindle money. But now he was being told that the two of them were idiots and that they had only managed to swindle people by luck. How could he accept this?

Dou Niwan is a man of professional ethics! Since these two have believed him, he'll naturally keep up the act!

"Oh, I see! You guys figured it out after all!"

Dou Niwan sighed, feigning helplessness, and said...

"I thought I could fool you and get you to take 30% less of the treasure, but I didn't expect you, Master Yu, to see through me."

"Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being called Master Yu!"

"That's right!"

Hearing Dou Niwan's praise, Master Yu also proudly raised his head, but the fact that he was hugging Dou Niwan's leg and doing this was really a bit cringe-worthy for him.

"Since you've seen through me, I'll have no choice but to accept your investment out of consideration for our past relationship."

Seeing that Dou Niwan had agreed to their additional investment, Master Yu immediately pulled Tang San to his feet, threw the soul tool filled with gold soul coins into Dou Niwan's arms, and before the other party could react, he grabbed Tang San and ran out without looking back, afraid that Dou Niwan would change his mind.

Dou Niwan shrugged helplessly, watching the backs of the master and disciple, and silently cursed them as idiots in his heart.

He'd seen people get scammed before, but he'd never seen a complete idiot like this, eagerly getting scammed and then thanking himself for it!
