THE GOD EATER-Chapter 104: Evaluation And Listing.
Loki paid for it while silently thanking the Rein Family. After the money was deducted and he received the notification that the item would arrive in 2 weeks, he left the public trading platform.
His next destination was the Stock Market. He wanted to see what was so special about it.
The first thing that popped up at him was his own status.
Name: Loki
Rank: 2
Status: None
History: Born a slave. Escaped from the Rein Family to join the sect. Awakened on....
Evaluation: Pending (1 Month)
"Born a slave. I guess I’ll never live it off. The sect won’t forget, and they will remind me at every chance they get to."
He swiped this away so that he could see the status of others in the sect. When he didn’t recognize anyone from the ocean of information, he searched for the status of someone he knew.
Name: Slav Rein
Rank: 1
Status: None
History: Born as the third son of the Rein Family. Awakened on....
Evaluation: Pending (2 days)
This made him exclaim, saying, "2 days? That’s very early."
"He must have paid off his awakening debt nearly a month ago. That must mean that he became an inner disciple around a few days after I fought Simon, and he left the initiation program. Good for him."
Then he smiled and said, "It will be good for me too when his evaluation is completed two days from now, and I invest in him."
"Imagine that, I will be using his father’s money to invest in him and earn more money through him by doing so. What a turn of events."
It can be said that he is in a good mood, and anyone who says that will be right to say so. His mood is so potent that it remained for many more days after.
While he was waiting for the Living Metal to arrive, interesting things were happening in the stock market. He was paying attention, so he noticed these interesting things.
The evaluation for the stock market is not like the evaluation that the sect does in order to determine the value of the life of a disciple of the sect. The former is potential value, while the latter is current value.
The value of life is the inherent value of every part of the disciples. It is how much all of their flesh, bones, blood, and soul will sell for. This is their current value. It is straightforward and easy to calculate.
But the evaluation for the stock market is far more complicated because it tries to calculate just how far the cultivator can go on the path of cultivation.
In order to determine their future potential, the sect will take into consideration their friends, their powerful connections, the number of enemies they have, the strength of their enemies, the strength of their friends, the businesses they have, their background and family, the amount of money they possess currently, their talent, their cultivation speed, their good and helpful habits, their bad and detrimental habits and vices, and their luck.
All of these have to be taken into consideration by the sect. This is why it takes a month to complete, whereas the value of life can be completed in a few seconds.
After the evaluation is completed, the value of the future of the cultivator will be sent to them. Then the cultivator will determine how they want to convert that future value to shares that people can buy and use to support them.
In the case of Slav, the sect valued him at 10,000,000 energy stones. This is the maximum value of rank 4 cultivators. This means that the sect believes that he can achieve rank 4 cultivation.
Slav felt confident in himself that many people would want to invest in him, so he split the value of 10 million energy stones into 10 million shares that are priced at 1 energy stone each.
He could have taken the humble route and split his valuation of 10 million energy stones into 100 thousand shares for 100 energy stones each. That way, he would be able to quickly recoup his value since there are so few shares for people to buy, limit supply, and use the limited supply to artificially raise the price of the shares.
But Slav was never one to be humble. Besides, his father told him to make the arrangement like this.
Once he set up his shares like this, his identity went online, and his shares could be bought. Many people began buying his share immediately. All of these people were his family members. It is why people are buying his shares so soon.
The normal thing that happens when someone gets listed is that no one will care about them and their shares for a while until they make a name for themselves and become popular. So his father expected that he would be able to scoop up all of Slav’s shares without any problem.
Skarg didn’t delay in buying the shares, but he didn’t rush either because he didn’t think he had any reason to rush. So someone else was able to buy 2 million shares before he could buy everything.
2 million shares out of 10 million shares is 20%, which is a lot. So Skarg was surprised by this, and he wanted to find out who bought the shares and why they bought them.
Unfortunately, transactions in the stock market are anonymous, so he could only suffer in silence. Skarg had to continue the plan despite the interference because the show must go on.
Besides, the person who bought the 2 million shares has helped to kick-start their plan. He quickly bought out the rest of Slav’s shares.
Since a lot of Slav’s shares were sold, his profile shot to the top of the stock market as one of the highest-performing stocks. This made many powerful people pay attention to Slav. They began investigating him to learn more about him.
