Chapter 93: Meeting a Big Shot

Olivia didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids. Foolish earthlings!

While the group of young men mocked Olivia for throwing her money away, a scruffy man in wrinkled clothes entered the brokerage firm. Without hesitation, he purchased shares of the same stock as Olivia.

“Another one throwing money down the drain!”

“Some people really can’t be stopped from courting disaster.”

“Seriously, what kind of idiot buys this stock?”

The man kept his head down, his long hair covering most of his face. Yet, when he noticed Olivia, his eyes brightened subtly.

“A comrade! You’re here to support VES too?”

VES was the nickname for the company behind the stock Olivia had purchased, its full name being Vanguard Exchange Solutions.

Olivia blinked. The revival of VES’s stock depended entirely on the sentimental efforts of old-time gamers. If she wasn’t mistaken, the man in front of her was likely the driving force behind this movement. The amount he invested wasn’t much, only a few thousand dollars. But Olivia knew that starting tomorrow, this small sum would multiply exponentially.

“Yeah,” Olivia replied with a nod.

The man’s eyes grew even brighter upon confirming her allegiance.

“Awesome! I didn’t think there’d be so many of us fighting together. Let’s exchange contacts! We’re coordinating through a group chat.”

His overly enthusiastic tone made Olivia chuckle inwardly.

Before she could respond, the man had already pulled out his phone. “I’m Noel Troye. What’s your name, comrade?”

The name Noel Troye left Olivia momentarily stunned. In her past life, a global sensation called Genesis Wars swept the gaming world. The leader of the creative team behind the game was Noel Troye!

At this stage, Noel was just a fresh university graduate. But after the VES stock battle, his initial savings would skyrocket nearly a hundredfold! This windfall allowed Noel to establish a game studio. Two years later, the globally celebrated Genesis Wars was born there.

Unfortunately, the game’s high operational costs and a betrayal by his business partner nearly caused its demise. Noel was forced to sell its copyright to another company. That company, within just two years, turned Genesis Wars into a gold mine, earning billions of dollars and dominating the gaming industry.

“Olivia,” she said, realizing this encounter was an unexpected jackpot. Initially, she had only planned to make a quick profit. But now, she had stumbled upon a future legend.

If I could step in and invest when Noel faces financial trouble and secure the game’s copyright for myself… Wouldn’t that mean I could sit back and watch the money roll in? Without hesitation, Olivia exchanged contact details with Noel.

At the moment, Noel appeared nothing more than a shabby, broke man. But in Olivia’s eyes, he was a treasure trove of wealth waiting to be unlocked.

Sophia, meanwhile, could barely believe her eyes. Olivia had just exchanged numbers with a strange man in front of Lucas and Hudson. And that man didn’t just look broke, he exuded it. Was Olivia deliberately trying to insult Lucas and Hudson? But before Sophia could revel in what she thought would be their annoyance, she was stunned to see both men stride over to Olivia.

“Excuse me, please open an account for me too. I’d like to purchase this stock as well,” they said to a staff member.
