Villain's Evolution: Investing in My Minions Yields Crazy Returns!

[Fate Reversal Voucher ×1]

[Effect: When used during a designated investment event, grants an additional opportunity to increase the investment return multiplier.]

The value of this item was probably even greater than he had initially imagined.

Using such a voucher on an ordinary investment would obviously be a waste.

But what if the investment target possessed exceptionally high potential and happened to be standing at a crucial turning point in their fate?

A sharp glint flashed through Victor’s eyes as he suddenly thought of someone.

…Mia Hart.

Especially her Mana Pattern Resonance talent. It allowed her to perceive mana structures, identify the nodes of magic formations, and even detect weak points in the circulation of magical beast skills during combat.

If this ability could be developed further, whether in combat support, magical research, or even future equipment manufacturing, it would possess enormous growth potential.

But first of all, he needed to fix her current problem.

At a time like this, a well timed investment could often produce results far beyond what would normally be possible.

“Mia Hart…” Victor softly murmured as he opened the academy’s resource redemption catalog and began searching for materials related to profession awakening and mana perception.

Before long, several resources appeared before his eyes.

[Basic Profession Awakening Guidance Stone]

[Redemption Price: 12,000 Contribution Points]

[Effect: Assists individuals who have not awakened a profession in sensing their profession seed and improves mana stability during the awakening process.]

[Mana Pattern Perception Potion]

[Redemption Price: 18,000 Contribution Points]

[Effect: Temporarily enhances the user’s ability to perceive mana patterns and magic formation structures.]

[Starlight Meditation Crystal]

[Redemption Price: 25,000 Contribution Points]

[Effect: Assists with mental power cultivation, improving mana perception and control efficiency.]

Victor examined the three materials thoughtfully.

Individually, none of them could be considered particularly precious.

However, if they were used together and combined with Mia’s hidden talent, they might produce some unexpected results.

Of course, he had no intention of simply handing all these resources over to her.

The most important aspect of an investment had never been the resources themselves.

Timing mattered.

The target’s needs mattered.

And whether the target was actually worth cultivating mattered even more.

Although Mia had already demonstrated impressive judgment, Victor still needed to understand her personality and circumstances better.

After all, what he wanted to cultivate was someone capable of creating value for him in the future, not a stranger to whom he would casually hand out resources.

With this thought, he closed the redemption catalog, planning to personally meet the freshman once his body had recovered.

Just then, a faint knock suddenly came from outside the hospital room.

Knock, knock.

“Come in.”

The door slowly opened, and a figure dressed in black combat attire walked inside.

The newcomer had long, silky black hair, a tall figure, and an indifferent expression… It was Evelyn.

“Young Master.”

She approached the hospital bed, her gaze quickly sweeping over the bandages covering Victor’s body as her brows furrowed slightly.

“I heard you almost died.”

Victor: “…”

“Can’t you say something a little nicer?”

Evelyn’s face remained expressionless. “I already tried to put it as delicately as possible.”

Victor was immediately left somewhat helpless.

This woman’s sharp tongue was as merciless as ever.

However, he soon noticed that Evelyn was holding a document.

“What’s that?”

“The information on the freshmen you asked me to keep an eye on.”

Evelyn placed the document beside his bed.

Before the screening had officially begun, Victor had told her to keep an eye on all the freshmen to determine whether they were worth bringing into his faction.

“After the screening ended, several students attracted the attention of the academy’s instructors. One of them caught my attention.”

Victor’s interest was instantly piqued.

“Who?”

Evelyn glanced at him.

“Mia Hart.”

Victor smiled.

What a coincidence.

He had only just been thinking about her, and now her information had already been delivered straight to him.

“Tell me about her.”

Evelyn opened the document.

“She is seventeen years old, Level 8, has not awakened a formal profession, and received a relatively low overall evaluation upon admission.”

“However, during this screening, she participated in killing a Level 16 Black Horned Hunting Beast alongside a short haired earth user from her original team and two other students. According to the students who fought alongside her, she seemed capable of predicting the magical beast’s attack directions in advance and could even identify weak points in mana based skills.”

“The academy currently suspects that she possesses some kind of special perception talent, but she hasn’t undergone formal testing yet.”

This information was basically consistent with what Victor had observed earlier.

“Anything else?”

Evelyn paused briefly.

“She left the medical center this afternoon. Her injuries weren’t particularly serious. However…”

“However, what?”

“She appears to have applied to withdraw from her originally assigned freshman training group.”

“Reason?” Victor raised an eyebrow.

“The document doesn’t say.”

Evelyn closed the file.

“But I heard that her original team had already persuaded her to leave during the screening. Although she later fought alongside the short haired earth user from that group and two strangers, she apparently has no intention of remaining with her original team.”

The corners of Victor’s mouth slowly curved into a smile.

To others, this might simply be the unfortunate situation of an ordinary freshman. But to Victor, who possessed the Villain Investment System, this was practically an opportunity delivered straight to his doorstep!

“Evelyn.”

“Yes.”

“Arrange something for me.”

Victor set the document aside, a trace of anticipation flashing through his eyes.

“Once I’m able to get out of bed, I want to meet this Mia Hart personally.”

Evelyn nodded.

“Understood.”

She was just about to turn and leave when she suddenly stopped.

“By the way, Young Master.”

“What is it now?”

Evelyn looked at him, her expression still perfectly calm.

“If you encounter another Level 45 magical beast in the future, could you please inform me beforehand?”

Victor was slightly stunned.

“Why?”

Evelyn stayed silent for two seconds. Then, she replied indifferently.

“At least that way, I can help collect your corpse.”

“…”

The corners of Victor’s mouth twitched violently.

“Get out!”

Evelyn turned and left quickly. However, just as the door was about to close, the corners of her lips seemed to rise ever so slightly.

Watching the hospital room fall silent once again, Victor couldn’t help shaking his head with an amused smile. Then, his gaze returned to the document lying on the table.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Victor murmured softly.

After all, for the current him, what was truly worth looking forward to had never been merely growing stronger himself.

It was seeing just how far those who had originally been overlooked by fate could grow after receiving his investments.

And more importantly…

Just what kind of astonishing returns could they bring him?!
