"There's no need for that, I’m just feeling a bit nervous. I’ll be fine soon," Willy Morgan reassured.
"At least have some warm water, young master," Eleanor Rodriguez suggested.
After dinner, Willy sat down and decided to count the number of chips in his possession. The system had originally provided a small bag of them, but Willy hadn’t checked exactly how many were inside. He poured them out and counted. There were 1,000 chips in total. Since he had already given five to Sebastian Robinson, that left him with 995. The chips were simply packaged in a thin plastic wrap and housed in a hard plastic case.
"Beep! When would the host like to upgrade?" the system suddenly chimed in.
"System, you’ve been quiet all day. What have you been up to?" Willy asked.
"I’ve been adapting to the upgrade," the system replied.
"Huh? You need to adapt to your own upgrade?"
"Yes, host. With the addition of several new featur
"System, these five people—they're real, right?" Willy Morgan asked, still a little incredulous."Yes, host. They are real humans, just like you," the system confirmed."Great!"Willy Morgan led the five newly-appointed secretaries to find Eleanor Rodriguez. Eleanor was initially startled to see five unfamiliar people suddenly appear in the house, but upon realizing that they were brought by her young master, she quickly settled down."Eleanor, these five are my personal secretaries. They've been handling matters for me in New York, and now they're here to help. They’ll stay in the mansion temporarily. Could you please arrange their accommodations? I'll take them out for work tomorrow," Willy requested."Of course, young master. Right this way," Eleanor replied, though she couldn’t help but feel that these five individuals weren’t ordinary assistants. Their aura and demeanor were far more refined than any assis
That evening, Liam Morgan brought a man in a suit to meet Willy Morgan. The man stood at the grand gates of the Morgen estate, hesitant to enter."Mr. Lu, is something wrong?" Liam Morgan asked."No, it's just... this mansion is quite overwhelming," Mr. Lu replied, clearly awed by the scale of the estate.Liam smiled. "The boss’s power is reflected in this house. Come in, you wanted to discuss matters with him in person."As they walked in, everything about the luxurious estate left Mr. Lu unsettled."Boss, I brought the head of the law firm you requested to see. He wanted to speak with you directly," Liam Morgan said as they entered."Oh? Please, have a seat," Willy Morgan said as he walked over, sipping a cup of warm milk."Hello, I'm Lu Hao, owner of Fangyuan Law. Here’s my card." Lu Hao handed over his business card.Willy took the card and examined it. The name Fangyuan Law seemed familiar to him. Sensing his confusion, Liam Morgan added, "Boss, Fangyuan Law is one of the most fam
At the Lee family mansion, Jayden Lee summoned his son, Anthony. “Anthony, I want you to approach the boss of Galactic Chip, this guy named Willy Morgan. Find out his background and the situation with his company. We own several electronics firms. See if there’s a chance for cooperation.”“Dad, do you really believe this kid can produce any revolutionary chips? Look at Sebastian Robinson—he's invested so much money without any results. What can a greenhorn like this Willy Morgan achieve?”“I told you to do it, so you better go. Say another word and I’ll break your legs! I’ve heard that *he* personally approached this Morgan kid for cooperation. We don’t know the full details yet, but you'd better tread carefully! If you mess this up, I’ll cut off your bank account!”“Fine, Dad. Can’t you ever treat me a little nicer?”“Get lost!”---Meanwhile, at the Brown family estate...“Tian, have you heard of this Galactic Chip?” asked Tian’s father.“Yes, I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t seen th
On the fourth day after the company officially began operations, Willy Morgan's workers finished packaging 100,000 chips. What started as a small box of chips had, under the skillful hands of his employees, transformed into numerous boxes of high-end chip packages. After carefully calculating the price, Willy decided to set the price at $2,999 per chip. His chips were universal, suitable for high-end electronic devices and instruments. While some high-tech chips were priced at tens of thousands, Willy didn’t want to price them differently based on usage, so he settled on a single price point.On the same day, Dylan arrived in New York with Paisley. Upon learning of Willy’s plans, Paisley decided to stay at Willy’s mansion. She knew that part of Willy’s motivation to push his company forward was her, and although it wasn’t a large part, it still moved her deeply.With 100,000 chip products completed, Willy decided not to rush to contact either *him* or Sebastian Robinson. Instead, he p
Violet Brown felt a bit exasperated, watching Willy Morgan flip through the book so quickly. She couldn’t help but comment, “How can you read like that, flipping the pages so fast? Do you think you’re some kind of prodigy? Can you even understand it?”Hearing Violet’s words, Willy looked up again at the girl in front of him. She was refreshingly elegant, with fair skin, a cute, playful appearance, and expressive eyes that seemed to speak volumes. Her face had dimples on both cheeks, giving her a friendly and approachable aura. Her shoulder-length hair cascaded naturally, slightly wavy, and her high-end yet casual outfit in soft lavender perfectly complemented her delicate, feminine temperament.For the first time, Willy found himself intrigued.“Who knows? Maybe I *am* a prodigy.”“Yeah, right! Keep dreaming!”“Don’t believe me?”“Not at all.”“Okay, how about this: I’ve read up to page 221. Ask me anything from any page before that, and I’ll answer it.”Willy smiled and handed the bo
An hour later, Willy Morgan and Violet Brown exited the bookstore together, walking side by side. Willy glanced toward the distant bodyguards and driver, shaking his head slightly. Violet did the same, gesturing to her own group of people with a similar gesture.They made their way to Babylon Restaurant, a well-known Middle Eastern spot in New York."Order whatever you want," Violet said, flashing a bright smile. Willy didn’t hold back, choosing a few dishes that seemed appealing, and the two began chatting."I just realized I don't even know your name," Violet said, raising an eyebrow playfully."Willy Morgan, and you?""I'm Violet. So, are you a professional investor? Where did you go to school?"Willy paused, considering his answer. "Not exactly a professional investor. I have my hands in a few areas—investments, R&D, securities. I graduated from the University of Los Angeles.""Oh, I’m from New
"Brother, I’m not stupid. I’m about to graduate from college—how could I still be fooled by someone?" Violet’s words made Tian realize that while his sister might not have focused on her studies, she was definitely exceptional in other areas, with plenty of talents. With such a capable sister, it seemed unlikely she’d be tricked. Could it be that the person Violet spoke of was actually quite remarkable?The two siblings made a deal: next time Violet met with Willy Morgan, she would record their conversation so Tian could assess the situation. If Willy wasn’t as impressive as Violet claimed, she wouldn’t be allowed to meet with him alone anymore. Reluctantly, Violet agreed, feeling confident that Willy would leave her brother speechless.After the Labor Day holiday ended, Willy Morgan contacted both Sebastian Robinson and the high-ranking official in the morning of May 8th to inform them that the 100,000 chips were ready, priced at $2,999 each. Neither of them attempted to haggle over t
Tian shook his head at Violet as their father, Owen Brown, went back to his room. Tian knew exactly what was on their father’s mind: he was afraid that Violet might marry too early or be deceived, as she was a cherished daughter of a prominent family. Being overly close with a stranger wasn’t something they could afford to take lightly.When Willy Morgan returned home, he checked his system interface. His recent expenditures had nearly pushed him to level 6, with just a few hundred experience points left. He hadn’t yet used the predictive function, a feature he knew was too valuable to ignore.“System, activate the prediction function.”“Ding! Prediction activated. Please wait…”“Ding! Prediction complete. On May 18th, a 9.4 magnitude earthquake will hit Japan, causing the stock market to plummet from 18,994 points to 7,144 points. Please seize the opportunity!”“A massive earthquake? System, will this affect us back home?”“No direct impact on your region, but there will be mild tremo
