Chapter 117
Ethan's stats were still displaying In front of him.
He has 50 points and he still doesn't know which he's going to invest on, the numbers glowing in the dimly lit room. when Suddenly, a message from the system popped up, causing his eyes to widen in surprise.
[Host can use the power of the ancient staff if Host improves intelligence to 100]
Upon seeing the message Ethan heart skipped.
"What?"
immediately Ethan gasped, leaning forward to read the message again. His heart raced with excitement as he tried to recall what the man had said about the staff powers.
"If I can remember correctly, he mentioned long life and controlling the weather,"
he muttered to himself, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"I'm sure those were the ones he mentioned."
At that moment Curiosity gnawed at him, but as he examined his current points, he realized he didn't have enough to reach 100 percent in intelligence, because he had not even invested any points in his intelligence.
And the system hadn't awarded him any points from his recent investments, as all the documents hadn't been signed yet. Once the signatures were in place Ethan knew he would be getting his points, immediately he started calculating the point he would be getting.
he would receive over 400 points.
"Come on, come on,"
he urged, drumming his fingers impatiently on the sofa.
"I need those points now! and see what the staff can do"
The allure of discovering the staff's hidden powers was too strong to resist.
Using aura had already filled him with excitement, and now the prospect of unlocking another strange power made his heart race with so many possibilities.
"I never knew intelligence would be this useful,"
he mused, with a grin spreading across his face. With a determined nod, Ethan decided to allocate all his current points, earned from the donations, into intelligence. The 500 million dollars he had donated equated to 50 points, as every 10 million in donations granted him one point.
immediately he allocated the point his new Stats displayed.
[strength –10
Speed – 20
Body – Charm 5
intelligence – 50]
As he watched the numbers climb he was expecting to notice some changes in him, but nothing changed and he knew he wouldn't notice anything just yet.
At that moment Ethan's mind was already formulating a plan for the next day.
"I'll find a way to get more points tomorrow, and Max out the remaining 50 points before I get the point from the investment I did"
he declared, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"I need to complete that intelligence requirement and see what this staff can really do!"
At that moment he decided to check the system's conditions for entering the next stage and his thoughts lingered—he needed to spend 200 billion dollars, and all his stats had to reach 100 or higher.
"I was given a hundred billion, and I need to spend another 100 million dollars and maxed my Stats"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Ethan murmured, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"My investments will play a crucial role in reaching that spending target, when my revenue starts coming in, I will definitely make the extra 100 billion dollars I need to upgrade."
At that moment he started to imagine how it would feel to have all his stats maxed out, the power that would course through his veins. If this small increase in his strength could make him stronger like this, the thought of reaching the pinnacle filled him with a sense of invincibility.
"I'll be unstoppable,"
he whispered, clenching his fists. "Nothing will stand in my way by then."
Just then, the news on the TV caught Ethan's attention.
immediately his eyes widened as he saw his own story unfolding on the screen.
The news anchor announced that a man had purchased an ancient staff for 500 million dollars and had also acquired several companies. Photos and videos of Ethan's transactions flashed across the screen, causing him to sink deeper into the sofa.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What the hell?"
he exclaimed, his mouth falling open in disbelief.
"It hasn't even been three hours and the news has already broken out"
At that moment he shook his head.
"Did I really think I could hide from something this big?"
He ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing with the implications of his newfound fame.
The journalist who had blown everything open appeared on the screen, being interviewed about the mysterious investor.
"And from the information and everything we have heard, he called himself 'Godly,'"
The journalist revealed, with a smirk playing on his lips.
Upon hearing what the reporter just said to the media interviewer, her eyes started twinkling with mirth, and she chimed in.
" What happened with the Godly Investor!" immediately the studio erupted in laughter, the anchors reveling in the catchy nickname.
At that moment Ethan groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Great, now I'm a laughingstock,"
he muttered, shaking his head.
"I need to be more careful, the news came out too quickly, considering I told them to keep it a secret for now."
Ethan was still busy talking to himself when Suddenly, the journalist pulled out his phone, claiming he had just received a message concerning that situation.
"According to the information I just received, Someone was seen entering a hotel with the staff I just mentioned in his hand,"
he announced, his voice filled with excitement.

"It must be the Godly Investor!"
The news anchors leaned forward, their faces filled with eagerness.
"That not all the information still further revealed that the man was also wearing a mask."
they added, their voices hushed with intrigue.
Ethan's eyes burst open in shock, his breath catching in his throat. "No way,"
he whispered, his heart pounding furiously.
"Someone's been following me this whole time and i didn't notice"
He silently thanked the heavens that he didn't removed his mask until now.
With a sense of urgency, Ethan scanned the room for cameras, his eyes darting to every corner. Relief washed over him as he found none, but just as he began to relax, a knock sounded at the door.
