What was worth mentioning was that the short films released by the Virtual Universe Company … no, short films … required money!
Each short film didn't cost much universe dollars. Depending on the length of the film, there would be some differences in the cost.
However, as more people watched, the money would naturally roll in.
And the contestants who were recorded in the short films would have lifetime copyright fees.
This meant that the genius fighters would be able to earn money.
People like Wang Teng and Emperor's son would definitely spread the news the most and earn the most money.
This was a bit like the celebrity effect!
It was just that these "celebrities" were all genius fighters!
When Wang Teng found out about this unexpected windfall, he was very happy. When he saw the copyright sale information from the Virtual Universe Company, he immediately agreed.
Nonsense, he could earn money. Whoever didn't agree would be stupid.
It wasn't like he didn't want money. Recently, he was very poor and almost had to sell his body.
Now, all he had to do was sell his face. He didn't have to sell his body. Why not?
Wang Teng didn't know if the others agreed or not. In any case, he agreed without hesitation.
The Virtual Universe Company's reputation was still passable. He didn't have to worry about being cheated. He just had to lie down and collect money.
Besides, he was now a popular contender for the top three in the Battle of Geniuses. No matter how arrogant the Virtual Universe Company was, they wouldn't cheat a genius like him with huge potential.
As for the top three hot contenders, they were all created by the audience. One was him, one was the Emperor, and one was constantly changing among Ling Yangxu, Leng Qianxue, Bokta, Yuan Hong, and Di Mosi. It was impossible to determine.
Wang Teng and Emperor's son were famous for being powerful. The others were slightly inferior, which was why this situation happened.
After signing the contract, Yuan Gungun's surprised voice rang out in Wang Teng's mind. "Wang Teng, the Virtual Universe Company is giving you a very high cut."
"How high?" Wang Teng asked.
He didn't pay attention before and left everything to Yuan Gungun, so he didn't know how much the Virtual Universe Company was giving him.
"The others are probably given 50 to 60 percent," Yuan Gungun said. "But they're giving you … 90 percent!"
"90%!" Even if Wang Teng didn't know the other people's shares, he knew that 90% was really high. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Yes, the Virtual Universe Company is really generous. 90% of the profits, you can get a lot of money. Looks like your performance in the elimination battles has made them think highly of you. Hence, this is considered an early show of goodwill." Yuan Gungun exclaimed.
"Is this an olive branch from the Virtual Universe Company?" Wang Teng smiled.
"Naturally," said Yuan Gungun. "For the Virtual Universe Company to be able to stand tall in the universe for countless years without falling, they must be very shrewd."
"We have the right to broadcast the Battle of Geniuses. No one knows better than them the strength and potential of you geniuses, so they can always accurately invest in every genius that is worth investing in."
"After countless years, through this method, who knows how many geniuses have established such friendly relationships with them. Don't you think they're amazing?"
"Amazing! Amazing! " Wang Teng only had to think about how the geniuses of the past had grown to know how terrifying the Virtual Universe Company was. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is only the initial investment," said Yuan Gungun. "When the Battle of Geniuses is completely over, they'll send people to personally contact you and provide you with all sorts of resources and benefits. That's the real investment, and according to your future development, they'll continue to increase their investment."
"Damn, how much money is that?" Wang Teng was shocked.
The growth of a genius warrior required far too much resources, especially at the Universe level, Domain Lord level, and Sector Lord level. Every level required an immeasurable amount of resources. For the Virtual Universe Company to invest in so many geniuses, the amount of money spent was simply unimaginable.
The most important thing was that even these geniuses could fall at any time during their growth. This meant that the Virtual Universe Company's investment could be wasted at any time.
"There's no helping it," said Yuan Gungun.
"Only now do I know that I'm poor." Wang Teng shook his head speechlessly.
"But if you think they're making a loss, then you're too naive." Yuan Gungun laughed and explained, "As long as a genius grows to Sector Lord level or even Undying level, they'll be able to reap huge returns. This return might be ten times or even a hundred times more than before. It'll be enough to make up for their losses on other geniuses."
"Good plan." Wang Teng's eyes flashed. He finally understood how the Virtual Universe Company operated.
They invested according to the potential of the genius. Those with high potential would be invested more, those with low potential would be invested less. Even if they died, they wouldn't lose too much money.
And those with high potential would have a higher survival rate. When they grow up, their potential would definitely be higher than those with low potential. Naturally, they'd be able to provide more benefits.
This way, of course, they'd only earn and not lose.
"What I didn't expect was that they'd think so highly of you." Yuan Gungun said, "90%. Probably even that prince isn't as good as you."
"Who cares. Anyway, we'll just take the money. Now, we're just forming good karma. We won't lose anything." Wang Teng was also very crafty. He didn't take the other party's good intentions to heart. In the end, it was just a trade. Whoever was sincere would lose out.
"The Virtual Universe Company will probably come and find you personally later. They might let you join." Yuan Gungun continued.
"Join the Virtual Universe Company?" Wang Teng was shocked.
"Yes. Otherwise, where do you think the strong warriors of the Virtual Universe Company came from?" Yuan Gungun said, "Just relying on investments won't do. They have to tie you up with benefits and pull you onto their ship."
"No wonder. So that's how the strong warriors of the Virtual Universe Company came to be." Wang Teng suddenly realized.
He always felt that the Virtual Universe Company had many strong warriors. After all, their company was spread out in every corner of the universe. They needed too many strong warriors.
Now he finally knew that the Genius Competition wasn't just a way for the Seven Star Academies to select students. It was also a way for the Virtual Universe Company to provide fresh blood.
"There are also some who are nurtured internally." Yuan Gungun said.
Wang Teng nodded.
"Wang Teng, did the Virtual Universe Company give you a contract?" At this time, Lv Jing's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Did you guys receive it?" Wang Teng opened his eyes and ended his conversation with Yuan Gungun.
"Yes, I received 40% of the profits. How is it? Not bad, right?" Lv Jing's eyes gleamed, looking like a money-grubber.
"How much did you guys get?" Wang Teng laughed and looked at Song Yi Cheng and Hong Jinghou.
"50% for me!" Song Yi Cheng said.
"I only got 35%." Hong Jinghou looked at Song Yi Cheng with envy and said.
"Song Yi Cheng, you actually got 50%!" Lv Jing's eyes widened. Shocked, she said, "I thought you would be the same as me."
"Haha, that means the Virtual Universe Company thinks more highly of me." Song Yi Cheng laughed. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Damn it, I can't even compare to you. No, I must catch up with you in the next round and show the Virtual Universe Company my potential." Lv Jing said unwillingly, "It's all about money!"
Wang Teng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Seems like you've all received the contract." A figure walked over from afar and laughed.
"Your highness the second prince!" Song Yi Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in surprise. He quickly stood up and saluted.
No matter what, the second prince was a member of the royal family of the Qian Empire. As people of the Qian Empire, they naturally had to show some respect.
Lv Jing and Hong Jinghou also stood up and saluted.
"You don't have to be so polite. Who knows, maybe we'll be students of the same school in the future." The second prince's face was filled with gentleness. He didn't have the arrogance of a member of the royal family.
Wang Teng looked at the second prince curiously. He and the second prince had some history. Back then, the second prince had sent Zhou Jingtian to rope him in. Although he didn't agree, they didn't become enemies. On the contrary, he and Zhou Jingtian got along quite well.
Just as he was about to salute, the second prince stopped him and laughed, "Baron Wang Teng, I can't accept your salute."
"Your highness, you must be joking." Wang Teng said.
"No, this is the truth. With your strength and potential, you already have the qualifications." The second prince said seriously.
Wang Teng was surprised. He didn't expect the second prince to think so highly of him.
"Well, I just came to chat with you. I didn't intend to make the atmosphere awkward." The second prince smiled and waved his hand. "You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"
"Of course not. Please!" Wang Teng didn't bother about the etiquette anymore. He nodded and invited the second prince to sit.
After the second prince sat down, he saw that Song Yicheng and the others were still standing. He said, "You guys sit too. There's no second prince here. I'm just like you."
Hearing the second prince say so, they sat down around him.
Before the second prince and Wang Teng could start talking, a few more people came over.
"What are you talking about? You don't mind if we join, right?" Di Moshe of the Kalandish family came over and smiled.
"Di Moshe!" The second prince was surprised.
"Your highness." Di Moshe bowed slightly and then looked at Wang Teng. "Wang Teng, Uncle Boragu often talks about you."
"How's Uncle Boragu these days?" Wang Teng asked.
"Very good. He's free and unfettered all day. What's wrong with that?" Di Moshe smiled.
"Wang Teng, I'm Ji Haochen of the Ji royal family. Nice to meet you." Another handsome young man squeezed over and smiled.
"The genius of the Ji royal family." Wang Teng looked at the newcomer and was moved. He had a good relationship with the Ji royal family. The Ji royal family's realm master, Ji Xia, had helped him before.
Of course, he had also saved his life.
"So it's Brother Ji. It's an honor to meet you!" Wang Teng smiled.
"Uh …" Ji Haochen's expression was a bit awkward. "Can we change the name? Brother Ji, chicken breast, it sounds weird."
"Pfft!" A burst of uncontrollable laughter came from the side and said, "Big Brother Ji, your imagination is also very strong!"
"Sister Wan 'er, where did your' also 'come from?" Ji Haochen turned and asked.
Situ Wan 'er looked at Wang Teng and smiled.
"Cough cough." Wang Teng coughed dryly. This sister, why are you looking at me? He rolled his eyes and changed the topic. "Wan 'er, you've passed the first elimination round too. How's your ranking?"
"Not bad, 2nd in the 4th forbidden area." Situ Wan 'er said.
"2nd in the 4th forbidden area!" Wang Teng was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so strong.
After which, Wang Teng gestured for them to sit down. For this, he took out many tables, chairs, drinks and fruits. The group made it seem like a party.
Many people nearby saw this scene and couldn't help but be surprised.
This Wang Teng's network seemed to be very strong. So many geniuses took the initiative to talk to him, and their backgrounds weren't weak either.
Not to mention the 2nd prince, he even had two imperial family members with different surnames.
Wang Teng chatted with the others. Naturally, they talked about the contract with the virtual universe company.
"The virtual universe company gave me 70% of the profits." Ji Haochen smiled. His eyes flashed with pride.
"I got a little more than you," Di Mo Xi said lightly. "75%!"
"75% for me too." The 2nd prince smiled.
Ji Haochen's face immediately turned sour. "Damn, you guys are all 50% more than me. The virtual universe company is looking down on me."
The 2nd prince and Di Mo Xi saw him like this and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's your share, Wan 'er?" Wang Teng asked.
"I only got 60%." Situ Wan 'er shook her head and looked at the 2nd prince and the others enviously.
"This Virtual Universe Company sure separates us very clearly." Wang Teng chuckled.
"This is only the initial investment," the 2nd prince said. "The real investment will depend on the results of the second round."
"That's right," Ji Haochen encouraged. "So don't be discouraged, Wan 'er. Do well in the second round and surprise the virtual universe company."
Situ Wan 'er smiled calmly. "With you geniuses ahead of me, I don't dare to say that I can surprise the virtual universe company."
"Right, Wang Teng, what's your share? Is it 80%? "Ji Haochen thought of something and looked at Wang Teng.
"80% is the highest share in the history of the competition," the 2nd prince said quietly. "Only the top geniuses can enjoy it. The prince probably got 80%. The prince is probably going to get 80%, "the 2nd prince whispered to the prince, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, as if he knew something.
"Wang Teng, you should get 80% too," Di Mo Xi said. "You and the prince are both amazing. It's hard to tell who's better."
"Um, 80% … is it very high?" Wang Teng asked.
"Of course," Ji Haochen said, nodding. "The virtual universe company needs profits too. 80% means that they've suppressed their profits to the minimum. That's almost the limit."
Wang Teng turned to the 2nd prince and asked, "Was there a higher share before?"
"No." The 2nd prince shook his head. Then he was shocked and asked tentatively, "Your share is higher than 80%?"
The others were also shocked and looked at Wang Teng.
"It's a little bit higher." Wang Teng used his thumb and index finger to show a small gap.
"85%?" The 2nd prince was stunned. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked again.
"90%!" Wang Teng didn't keep them guessing and said directly.
"…" Everyone.
