After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

When the slave owner went bankrupt, they all wanted to take me in as a sugar daddy? — By Sugar Orange Cat

Mu Qiu transmigrates to a continent called Astram, accompanied by a slave owner system.

As long as you can go bankrupt as a slave owner, you can return to your original world with the magic and knowledge from another world!

In order to spend all the system funds, Mu Qiu spent a lot of money to buy the most expensive slaves from slave traders.

He provided them with the best accommodations, hired top elven mages to teach them magic, took meticulous care of them, and brought them back into contact with the world.

To prevent them from having the idea of ​​staying to make money for him, he mocked and ridiculed these slaves while secretly providing them with opportunities to escape, and continued to help them after they escaped.

When Mu Qiu finally spent all the system funds and was about to go bankrupt as a slave owner, he discovered that the princess of a fallen kingdom, the dragon girl, and the elven princess he had adopted years ago had all returned to the manor, wanting to take care of him when he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Master, we've finally waited for this day of your downfall. We knew all along that you deliberately let us go, and that you've been secretly helping us all along. Now, it's our turn to help you!"

Chapter One: The Slave Owner System, But the Goal is Bankruptcy!

Top floor of the auction house, the Starfall VIP box.

The cold, obsidian floor gleamed, reflecting the giant, slowly rotating magic crystal chandelier in the dome, casting a soft silver glow.

The air was filled with expensive, calming incense, completely isolating the stench, noise, and greed emanating from the auction hall below.

The floor-to-ceiling crystal windows covering the entire wall are crystal clear and flawless, like the eyes of a god, coldly overlooking the crowd below that swarms like ants.

Mu Qiu sank into a wide chair made of the soft belly skin of some kind of giant beast, a deep purple velvet cloak casually draped over the armrest, the gold thread embroidery on the edge flowing with a dull luster under the light.

He casually crossed one leg over the other, the toes of his expensive, magic-patterned leather boots lightly tapping the ground, while an invisible light screen, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

[Slave Owner System]

[Profit conversion ratio: 100:1]

[Loss conversion ratio: 1:1]

[Bankruptcy Protection: When the host goes bankrupt for the first time, the lost system funds will be multiplied a hundredfold and converted into personal wealth, helping the host to make a comeback!]

[Newcomer Benefit: A loan of 1,000 gold coins will be provided to the host, and the corresponding amount will be deducted from their personal wealth after one month.]

……

[System Funds: 10,000,000 Gold Coins]

Personal Wealth: 114 Gold Coins, 5 Silver Coins, 1 Copper Coin

[Slaves owned: 0]

[Free Slaves: 0]

……

【Special Redemption Items】

[Return to Earth (cannot carry magic or items) - 1 million gold coins.]

[Return to Earth (can bring any magic or items) - 5 million gold coins.]

[Immortality - 5 million gold coins.]

【…】

(Note: Special exchange items can only be redeemed using personal wealth and cannot be redeemed using system funds.)

"Who says being a slave owner is bad? Being a slave owner is fantastic!"

Mu Qiu looked at the system panel that appeared in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

He initially refused when asked to become a slave owner.

After all, whether considering his simple moral values ​​or the long-standing high mortality rate among slave owners, he would not choose this high-risk profession.

But soon he discovered that the system seemed to have a bug.

The money he earns through the system funds provided by this slave owner system will be converted into his personal wealth at a ratio of 100:1, while the system funds he loses will be converted into his personal wealth at a ratio of 1:1.

Moreover, as long as he goes completely bankrupt, the lost system funds can be converted into his personal wealth at a ratio of 100 times!

In other words, if he loses one dollar, he can earn one hundred dollars!

After discovering this, Mu Qiu's thoughts changed.

Although being a slave owner is a high-risk profession, if slaves become too powerful, they may turn against their owners.

But what if he manages slaves according to the methods of the new era?

They are provided with five social insurances and one housing fund, and their salaries are paid on time. They are required to work up to six hours a day, with only a mere two-hour lunch break, three days of vacation a week, and only two months of annual leave per year. They can go home to visit their families regularly. After joining the company, they can live in a manor of aristocratic standards for free, and top teachers are hired to teach them various professional skills...

This way, he could both exploit the slaves' labor and prevent them from wanting to kill him after regaining their freedom.

When they become strong in the future, they will probably not be like those slaves who are bullied and oppressed every day and eventually kill their masters because they can no longer bear it. Instead, they will quietly escape from the manor and regain their freedom.

Mu Qiu also plans to continue to provide assistance to the slaves who left the manor, so that they can live a stable life after regaining their freedom!

He, on the other hand, will continuously lose system funds, and eventually all of these losses will be returned a hundredfold to become his personal wealth!

"I wonder who made this system. It's amazing that they could fill in these two numbers in reverse."

Although Mu Qiu said this, he was actually quite happy.

The system provides initial capital of ten million gold coins, and if you lose all of it, you will receive one billion gold coins.

Even if you just throw those billion gold coins into a goblin bank to earn some interest, you could use that interest to buy a lot of magical items from another world.

Then he exchanged the principal he had stored in the goblin bank for a one-way ticket back to Earth, and the ability to live forever...

Just thinking about that scene made Mu Qiu grin from ear to ear.

This damn isekai world is up to whoever wants to stay in it!

Instead of being an ordinary slave owner here, living in constant fear of being killed by the aftermath of the big shots' battles, wouldn't it be better to return to Earth with magic and the ability to live forever and become a superman?

With the magic of another world and the ability to live forever, he is Happy Superman, and becomes a superman whenever he is happy!

In order to lose the ten million gold coins as quickly as possible, he traveled a long way to the auction house in the city and borrowed a thousand gold coins in advance from the system to buy himself clothes, preparing to spend a lot of money to buy the most expensive slave here.

If the system hadn't prevented him from buying at prices far exceeding the market value, he would have gladly bought any slave for ten million gold coins.

[Ding! A high-value slave has been detected near the host. Intelligent guidance function has been activated!]

"Oh? Your system can even provide guidance?"

Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow. There was no notification when he bound himself to the system three days ago. He didn't expect that he would unlock a new function as soon as he arrived at the city's largest auction house.

[Yes! Is this your first time purchasing slaves?]

"Of course! Where would I buy slaves before I transmigrated?"

Mu Qiu rolled her eyes.

He was just about to say what nonsense the system was asking when he heard a pleasant notification sound in his ear.

[Then I imagine you haven't seen slaves yet. I'll activate a "detection function" for you, allowing you to observe the stats of any slave.]

"Is there such a good thing?"

Mu Qiu was quite surprised.

With this detection function, wouldn't it be easier for him to find money-losing targets?

"System, what if this isn't my first time buying slaves?"

However, he was also somewhat curious.

If he hadn't answered that it was his first time buying a slave, would the system have given him something else?

【Wow, you're an expert! You don't need so many detection features. I'll turn off the loyalty display for you.】

Mu Qiu Yi Le.

"So there are perks for newbies? Not bad, your AI guidance is pretty good."

"Distinguished guests—!"

During the conversation, the auctioneer's hoarse, distorted shout rang out.

Even through the expensive soundproofing array, a penetrating fervor pierced the tranquility of the private room.

"Next up is the grand finale of this auction! A living legend—an elf!"

"Elves?"

Mu Qiu's casual gaze suddenly focused, looking at the center of the most dazzling pillar of light on the high platform below.

At this moment, a transparent sphere about two meters in diameter is suspended there.

It was not crystal, but a thin, slowly flowing magical film that distorted light and exuded a powerful aura of confinement.

Having been in this other world for a month, Mu Qiu knew what it was.

The fifth-tier special magic—the Magic-Suppressing Cocoon—is a top-tier cage capable of capturing high-level magical creatures as slaves.

Similar to an otherworldly version of a Poké Ball, it has a chance to capture creatures that have lost the ability to resist when used on them.

Although it is a fifth-order magic, it is much rarer than a typical sixth-order magic. The magic scroll for this kind of magic can sell for two or three thousand gold coins on the black market, and it is priceless!

Within the cocoon of light, a figure was imprisoned.

Her long, silver hair, like a waterfall formed from moonlight, shimmered with the luster of stardust even within her confinement. It lay smoothly at the bottom of the cocoon of light, with a few strands moving without wind, fluttering beside her pale, almost transparent cheeks.

The delicate, elfin earlobes, with lines as perfect as a masterpiece by an artist, were now revealed in their fragility.

Her appearance was proof of the Creator's favor; her features were exquisite, her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips were a pale pink, devoid of color, like cherry blossoms in their first bloom.

However, what is most captivating are those emerald green eyes, as if they encapsulate the vitality of an entire ancient forest, yet now they are shrouded in a layer of deathly silence, hollowly piercing through the cocoon of light and casting themselves into nothingness.

A tattered linen cloak, its original color long since obscured, completely enveloped her voluptuous and shapely body, drawing regretful glances from some of the men in the audience.

The exposed wrists and ankles at the edge of the cloak were so slender they looked as if they could be broken at any moment, covered with deep purple bruises and dark red scabbed wounds.

The most glaring feature was a dark red slave brand on her slender neck—a twisted thorn wrapped around a waning moon, like an ugly venomous snake biting at this peerless beauty.

She hovered quietly in the center of the cocoon of light, curled up like a silver leaf torn from a towering tree by a storm, on the verge of breaking.

The ultimate beauty and ultimate fragility create a breathtaking impact within the confined magical membrane.

The entire bustling auction hall fell into a brief, deathly silence the moment she appeared, with only heavy breathing and the sound of greedily swallowing saliva remaining.

Mu Qiu's heart skipped a beat the instant those empty blue eyes swept across the direction of the private room.

[Name: Vera]

Race: Elf (Moon Elf Bloodline)

[Status: Mana depleted, severely injured, weak...]

[Potential Rating: SS+]

[Suggested purchase price: 100 million gold coins.]

[Return on investment: 10000%+!]

Risk of betrayal: Low.

Risk of escape: Extremely high.

"Ok?"

"One million gold coins?!"

Mu Qiu instantly became excited.

According to the rules of the slave owner system, he can purchase at most twice the price offered by others or at the highest price suggested by the system.

He could lose a million simply by buying this elven girl as a slave!

Rounding it up, that's a profit of 100 million!

This is really great!

As for the subsequent rate of return, he simply ignored it.

Just kidding. As long as I let her go and give her her freedom, once she's achieved success, she's unlikely to come back to him, right?

Once they regain their freedom, won't the return rate become zero?
