Chapter 366 Achieving +2 Once More And Obtaining A New Special Ability
Su Yang looked at its little edges jumping around and could not help but feel that it was really cute.
However, he could not treat it too well, so he rolled his eyes at Little Hus. “How am I supposed to know? Why don’t you wait for a while? Your system interface should be appearing soon.”
Little Hus gave Su Yang a husky stare. “Fine.” It had unhappiness written all over its face.
Su Yang could not be bothered with the silly bolster. He laid on the sofa and called out to the interface to check that day’s stock market. ‘The five stocks aren’t increasing a lot today. Perhaps something that I’m unaware of is happening that’s making each stock go through something different. ‘Zhang Bang Technology has the highest increase. It has already reached its highest limit up point the moment the market opened. Of the remaining four stocks, two of them have reached their limit up as well, but they’re both at a ‘dangerous’ level.
‘One of them has been hovering around +2% for the whole morning. However, at 11:28 a.m., people have been largely acquiring it just as the market was about to pause for its afternoon break and went from +2% to +10%. The stock has stopped increasing since it has achieved its daily limit for the rest of the afternoon.
‘As for the other one, it has reached its daily limit at 10 am. However, a large number of acquisitions disappeared into thin air within a very short time, causing it to drop all the way down to +5%. It then returned to its daily limit for the second time after another 5 minutes.
‘Whatever it is, these two stocks have been achieving their daily limit for three days in a row, the same as Zhang Bang Technology. ‘As for the remaining two stocks, they aren’t doing so well. One was +2%, while the other was +3%. Oh well, at least they weren’t dead stocks.’
After looking at the five stocks, Su Yang pondered quietly. ‘I’ve understood something after researching stocks for the past few days. It takes skills to buy stocks, but it takes even more skill to be able to sell them.
‘It takes skill to know when to sell the stocks at the right time, this would be the most crucial moment that would decide how much I could earn from selling.
‘So… when do I sell it?
‘Can a rookie like me be able to sell off at the right time? ‘Should I… ask Little Hus again?’
At that thought, Su Yang looked at Little Hus, who was hopping on the floor happily as it waited for its system interface to show up. “Little Hus, come to have a look. When would be the most suitable time for me to sell these off?
Little Hus leaned over and twitched the Husky’s nose that was on it and suddenly said. “Huh? Su Yang, why can’t I smell it anymore?”
‘It can’t smell it?!’
Su Yang was shocked!
Little Hus’s keen sense of smell had always been his trump card! Why had it failed all of a sudden?
Su Yang looked at it. “Stop fooling around. How can you not smell it?”
Little Hus scratched its head and looked puzzled. “But it’s true though…”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Oh no, oh no. I’m in big trouble! ‘Could I have ruined Little Hus from adding points on it?!’
Just as he thought of that, an interface suddenly jumped out from Little Hus’s body. At the same time, Little Hus made a curious sound.
Su Yang looked at the interface first.
(Bolster+2: Ability greatly increased, data materialization.]
At the same time, the interface changed again. [Ability upgrade & materialization complete. New ability (Potential Sniffing) obtained.) ‘Potential Sniffing?
‘Could this be the real name of Little Hus’s ability? ‘But… isn’t it “Opportunity Sniffing”?’
Su Yang thought about it and felt that [Potential Sniffing) sounded right.
‘Little Hus has always been saying that it could smell “opportunities”, but it seemed like everything he smelled was potential items like stocks, celebrities, movies, and so on.
‘So “Opportunity” should be something that it came up by itself while “Potential is the actual name given by the system.’
Su Yang clicked on (Special Ability: Potential Sniffing). Instantly, the interface of this ability popped up.
[Special Ability: Potential Sniffing]
Ability: Monsters with this ability can smell the potential of items, organisms, projects, areas and so on. It can judge if the object has high or low potential. It can also judge the potential life span of the object ranging from long, average and short term. It can also carry out a directed search.
Restriction 1: This ability has different time spans as to which it is able to judge for each item, organism, project, and area respectively.
Restriction 2: The standard criteria for the judgement of each potential is based on the success rate of each special item or the value of its business investment.
Restriction 3: The limit for using this ability on the potential of investments is 5 times per day.
Note: Wow, so everything has its own scent. ‘Well, it’s just as the system says, this ability has been upgraded from giving a vague judgment to a detailed judgment.
‘However, based on the 2nd limitation, (Potential Sniffing) can only be used on some items and business investments that I have recently added points to. However, it won’t be much of a concern for me since I’m only using the ability on these things most of the time.
‘Furthermore, although Little Hus’s sense of smell was useful, it lacked standards. It did not know the item’s potential life span which made it very vague, making it impossible for me to have a precise idea of my investments.
‘Now… everything is solved.
‘Still… Based on the 1st limitation, each item would have a different time span to sense its potential, but it’s still better than nothing.’
While Su Yang was studying the ability, Little Hus stared at the system interface that Su Yang had placed before it and twitched the nose that was on its bolster and said, “Su Yang, I think I can smell it now!”
Su Yang had a much clearer idea on its ability after reading its introduction. He looked at Little Hus. “Well? What do you smell?”
A thoughtful expression appeared on its face. “I can smell the potential of these stocks.” It pointed at Zhang Bang Technology as an exaggerated expression appeared on its face. “This one has so much potential. In fact, it’s endless. I feel like it will be able to continue on like this for another seven days.” Su Yang made a note in silence. ‘Zhang Bang Technology can last for another seven days.
‘If Little Hus was referring to its daily limit, then could Zhang Bang Technology continue for another… five working days? After all, I should be deducting the weekends.
‘Wouldn’t this make it the leading stock?!’
Su Yang was speechless. ‘If I Include the past 3 working days, it has been running for a total of 8 working days. That means I’ve earned almost 2.15 times my capital. I’m rich.’
Little Hus pointed at the other two stocks that had reached their daily limit. “These two might not have as much potential as Zhang Bang Technology, but they should be able to last another four days.”
Su Yang continued to write down. ‘That means it will increase for another two days.’ Little Hus pointed at the last two stocks and shook its head. “These two won’t do. They lack potential.”
Su Yang silently noted down. ‘I’ll sell them next Monday.’
Su Yang pulled Little Hus along and wanted to ask if there were other stocks in the market that smelled good. However, Little Hus concluded that it was not able to activate its ability after he sniffed each and every one of them.
Su Yang could not help but recall the introduction of Little Hus’s ability. ‘It is only able to sniff the potential of stocks up to five times a day.
“This would also explain why Little Hus’s [Potential Sniffing) could no longer detect the potential of other stocks.
‘Forget stocks, I doubt Little Hus would be able to sniff the potential of other business proposals even if I tried.
‘However, five times is enough, at least for the stock market. There’s no need to use it on movies, company and other related investments. I’ll probably only let Little Hus sniff such investment projects once in a while.
‘With the help of Little Hus, I’m able to confirm the best time to sell off these five stocks. This is wonderful, I’m about to rake in millions..
‘Little Hus’s ability was truly godlike! As expected of the most useful monster.’ Su Yang patted Little Hus’s head happily.
Little Hus smiled at Su Yang as it looked at him. “Su Yang.”
Su Yang caressed it and smiled. “Yes?”
Little Ha said, “Why don’t you strike while the iron’s hot and add another point on me?”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘How could it be so greedy!’
Su Yang said, “You must believe in Euler’s Theorem.”
Little Hus shook its head. “No, I know myself based on the fragrant smell I’m giving off.”
Su Yang looked at it suspiciously. “Are you sure…?”
Little Hus bared its fangs slyly and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I’m sure.”
Su Yang looked at it and could not help but felt that it was lying to him.
“Oh well, I was planning to add another point on it anyway. Since Little Hus has volunteered… I might as well do it.’
At that thought, Su Yang patted Little Hus’s head. “Alright, I’ll add another point for you. But… be warned. If you dare to lie to me and you end up not having any useful abilities, I will never wash off the point for you!” Little Hus happily stuck out its tongue and nodded. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I can smell my own potential.”
n SI
Su Yang looked at Little Hus and felt that it was not lying to him based on how frequent it was repeating itself.
‘Then… I’ll trust it once.
‘Let’s see if you’re able to obtain another useful ability consecutively…
‘In fact, ever since I’ve added a point to the system, I’ve been focused on adding points for some of the monsters. Gru merely changed its appearance. As for Little Hus… it became bigger. Because of this, I now believe in Euler’s Theorem.
“This is exactly why I’ve been distributing the points amongst the monsters despite the system having been upgraded.
‘I had planned to call it a day after adding points to Little Hus and continue adding points to Gru or Pool after a few days.
‘It feels better to save up some luck for another time instead of squandering it all at once.’
Just as he was deep in thought, Little Hus poked Su Yang with its little edge. “Hey, Su Yang. What’s with the laughing?”
Su Yang came back to his senses and knocked on its head. “It’s nothing. I’m just happy at the thought of you obtaining another amazing ability, then go on to marry Janet and reach the climax of your life.”
When Little Hus heard that, it started giggling as well.
Su Yang felt that this silly dog was actually quite easy to coax. Whenever he mentioned Janet, it would lose its intellect.
At that thought, Su Yang stroked Little Hus. “Alright then, let’s get you a point upgrade!” Then, Su Yang opened the system shop and bought two (Guardian Talisman) and a (Random Point). Then, he grabbed Little Hus and left the villa.
‘Based on my past experience from adding points for Little Deeny and Sanque, I dare not add points to Little Hus in the room.’
When he left the villa, the other monsters were still playing in the swimming pool in the front yard. Su Yang went to the backyard where ten little monster beans were building thatching huts. Nol. 17 was commanding No. 1-9 and his sister, No. 18 to work while he lazily laid on the ground as their supervisor.
Su Yang felt that. ‘There were indeed outstanding ones in every bunch. I have Luo Yi and Lin Jiali amongst the humans and No. 17 amongst the little monster beans.
‘The little monster beans are clearly supposed to be a hardworking bunch, but they end up giving birth to No. 17 which deviates from their persona.’
Su Yang glanced at the little monster beans that were working and led Little Hus across the river to an empty lot on the other side. Then, he placed Little Hus on the ground and prepared to add a point to it…
