He seemed pretty old . He seemed to be at least 70 years old .

“I should be the one to thank you for reaching out to me . Please sit over here . Ah, excuse me for a moment . ”

There was no need to have a long conversation . I knew the foundational information about the idea already . We just needed to hire an expert in this field for the rest .

I just needed to do one thing .

Of course, there was something to confirm first . The wrong results would come out if Victor Coleman was a staff member and there was someone else who was in charge of the plan .

“Is this idea your own? Or is there someone else who came up with it with you?”

“Overall, this is my idea . There are some supporting researchers, but, as their t.i.tles indicate, they are just supporting researchers . ”

That meant that I could relax .

I quickly took my smartphone out and used a Chaos Jewel .

The smartphone immediately listed Victor Coleman’s information .

[Wealth: 81/100]

[Intelligence: 78/100]

[Health: 65/100]

[Morality: 23/100]

[Politics: 68/100]

[Violence: 61/100]

……

* Human average/highest value: 50/100

What’s this?

I thought his wealth would at least be 90 . I needed it at that level to be interested .

But it was only 81 . It was quite high compared to the average person, but it was too low in return for the potential risk I was taking .

The bigger issue was his morality .

23 .

It was less than half of the average person . That meant that his morality was at the bottom .

Putting those two together made it easy to tell what kind of person this Victor Coleman was .

‘He’s a scammer . ’

Of course, the technology might be real . However, it would only be a money-guzzling idea for the investor if it cannot come to fruition .

But I couldn’t tell him to just leave when he made the time to come all the way here . Let’s at least pretend to listen .

“Please, tell me more about it . ”

“The insect brain……”

Victor started to explain in detail .

“I’m sorry, but please give a short explanation of the core elements . ”

I cut him off to make it shorter .

However, he was a really good talker . Listening to him made me think that I would be able to make a ton of money on it in the near future .

It made me even wonder if the Chaos Jewel had been wrong .

However, I trusted the Chaos Jewel .

“Thank you for the explanation . It really is an amazing technology . ”

“Thank you for thinking highly of it . ”

Victor waited for my next words with high expectations .

I may not even be thirty years old, but I had a pretty good idea about how to live my life after experiencing many difficult obstacles in Royal Roader .

Make as many friends and allies as possible .

Make as few enemies as possible .

The way you say something could turn someone into a friend or foe . There was no harm in saying some nice things .

“Mr . Coleman, you seem like someone who will leave quite a mark in the future . However, I don’t think this is a technology I can handle . To be honest with you, I am not confident . I will contact you after thinking more deeply about it . ”

“Ah, I see . ”

“Please don’t be too disappointed . I’m sure we will meet again in the future . At that point, we will be partners walking toward the future together . ”

“Thank you for your kind words . I will wait to hear from you . ”

Another group of people showed up soon after I sent Victor back . One was an Asian person with black hair while two of them were westerners with blonde hair .

“My name is Andrew Choi . Nice to meet you . ”

Andrew Choi seemed to be the representative of the group . I felt a sense of familiarity with him .

“Are you Korean?”

“That’s right . I am your fan, Mr . Kang Hwi Ram . My parents are your fans as well . They are always so proud while watching your golf tournaments . ”

“Thank you very much . Haha . Shall we take a look at the item first?”

This was about the idea of ma.s.s-producing carbon fiber .

Andrew Choi did most of the explanation regarding this item . The others added things here and there, but it definitely seemed as if Andrew Choi was the main representative .

“I’m sorry to cut you off, but how are the shares for this idea distributed? Do you all have equal shares?”

“Yes sir, we have researched and developed it together . However, I came up with the core idea and I am leading the research, so I have the most shares . ”

“I see . Then please continue . ”

Andrew Choi continued to explain .

I opened my phone and used a Chaos Jewel as he did that . The results would be the same even if Andrew didn’t have 100% of the shares, as long as he had the most .

My jaws dropped as soon as I saw Andrew Choi’s information .

[Wealth: 99/100]

……

* Human average/highest value: 50/100

His wealth was at 99 . It was the highest number that I have seen until now .

His morality was up at 89 as well . His intelligence and politics level were very high too .

That meant that there was only one conclusion .

‘This is someone I must have . ’

I didn’t rush . I knew what Andrew’s item was, but I didn’t know much about Andrew yet .

He might be someone who had a lot of pride .

No, I was certain that was the case . The fact that someone this talented did not have a sponsor until now meant that he was very selective of who he chose .

I listened to the explanation as sincerely as possible .

I shook Andrew Choi’s hand after investing a lot of time into it .

“Thank you for coming to meet with me . I like this idea very much . I feel close to you for some reason as well, Mr . Andrew . ”

“Thank you very much . ”

“I would like to sign a contract right away . I would be responsible for supplying you with everything you need . ”

Andrew’s face, as well as the others’ faces, all lit up .

However, Andrew did not hurry .

“Mr . Kang Hwi Ram, I’ve heard that you ask for around 50% of the shares during these contract signings . Unfortunately, we are unable to give you that many shares . ”

“It looks like you have thought it out in advance, please tell me what you are thinking . Negotiations are part of making any deals, right?”

“The three of us have discussed things in advance . We don’t think we can go any higher than a 3:3:2:2 split . ”

That should be enough . It was more important to make sure I had an item like this more than making money .

It was quite a useful item that many companies would like to have .

“I will think about it positively . However, the details of the contract will depend on how much money I will need to invest and for how long . ”

“Of course . We calculated that we should be able to grow to become the greatest company in the world if you invest two trillion won in a four-year time span . ”

It definitely seemed possible . The Chaos Jewel was saying that as well .

“In that case, I think the split you mentioned should be fine . Shall we sign a general contract first? I don’t want to miss out on this idea . ”

“We would be very happy to do that . ”

Things went smoothly with them for the rest . My team can take care of the rest .

I continued to look through doc.u.ments after that .

Some of them caught my attention . Thanks to that, I ended up using 5 Chaos Jewels today .

However, none of them showed signs of a positive future . Andrew Choi’s item was the only one that showed signs of success .

‘I ended up wasting 4 Chaos Jewels . ’

However, I didn’t need to feel too bad . They helped prevent me from making bad investment decisions . Furthermore, I was able to gain Andrew Choi’s idea .

I should be able to invest significantly into it while knowing that it was almost a 100% chance of success .

‘I’m tired . I should go to sleep early tonight . ’
