zhè cì gòng xiàn dù de mù jí jìn dù ， chū hū hé zhèng hào yì liào zhī wài de kuài 。
这次贡献度的募集进度，出乎何正浩意料之外的快。
The contribution rate for this fundraising effort exceeded He Zhenghao's expectations.
dāng tā bǎ lǐ fán jí jiāng chóng qǐ mù zī jì huà de xiāo xī tòu lù chū qù hòu ， cóng yún hǎi de zhòng duō xiū shì men shēng pà cuò guò zhè cì nán dé de fā cái jī huì ， zhēng xiān kǒng hòu 、 háo bù yóu yù de jiāng yī bǐ yī bǐ gòng xiàn dù gěi hé zhèng hào zhuǎn le guò lái 。
当他把李凡即将重启募资计划的消息透露出去后，丛云海的众多修士们生怕错过这次难得的发财机会，争先恐后、毫不犹豫的将一笔一笔贡献度给何正浩转了过来。
When he announced that Li Fan was about to restart the fundraising plan, the many cultivators in Congyunhai were eager not to miss out on this rare chance to make a fortune. They rushed to transfer their contributions to He Zhenghao without hesitation.
hé zhèng hào máng dé jiāo tóu làn é ， tòng bìng kuài lè zhe 。
何正浩忙得焦头烂额，痛并快乐着。
He Zhenghao was busy and yet happy with his efforts. In just under seven days, he had already reached half of his goal, receiving nearly 53 million in contributions.
jǐn jǐn yòng le bú dào qī tiān de shí jiān ， jiù yǐ jīng wán chéng le mù biāo de yí bàn ， shōu dào le jiāng jìn wǔ qiān sān bǎi wàn de gòng xiàn dù 。
仅仅用了不到七天的时间，就已经完成了目标的一半，收到了将近五千三百万的贡献度。
Handling such a massive amount of contributions subtly changed He Zhenghao's mindset.
jīng shǒu shù liàng rú cǐ zhī jù de gòng xiàn dù ， shǐ de hé zhèng hào běn rén de xīn tài ， yě zài bù zhī bù jué jiān fā shēng le xiē xǔ wēi miào de biàn huà 。
经手数量如此之巨的贡献度，使得何正浩本人的心态，也在不知不觉间发生了些许微妙的变化。
"Ah, what kind of life did I lead before meeting the Secret Envoy?"
“ āi ， wǒ zài yù dào mì shǐ dà rén zhī qián ， guò de dōu shì xiē shén me rì zi yō 。”
“哎，我在遇到秘使大人之前，过的都是些什么日子哟。”
"For petty amounts like tens or hundreds of thousands of contributions, I had to pinch pennies and live in constant fear."
“ wèi le qū qū èr sān shí wàn gòng xiàn dù ， jié yī suō shí 、 měi tiān guò de tí xīn diào dǎn 。”
“为了区区二三十万贡献度，节衣缩食、每天过的提心吊胆。”
"It was truly humiliating!"
“ zhēn shì biē qū ！”
“真是憋屈！”
Recalling his past, He Zhenghao couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.
huí shǒu wǎng shì ， hé zhèng hào bù jīn wēi wēi yáo tóu ， gǎn tàn bù yǐ 。
回首往事，何正浩不禁微微摇头，感叹不已。
"Fortunately, those hard days are gone forever!"
“ xìng hǎo ， kǔ rì zi yī qù bù fù fǎn le ！”
“幸好，苦日子一去不复返了！”
He Zhenghao looked at the steadily increasing numbers on his statistics, feeling an overwhelming excitement.
hé zhèng hào kàn zhe tǒng jì zhōng hái zài bù duàn shàng zhǎng de shù zì ， xīn zhōng nán yǐ yì zhì de jī dòng 。
何正浩看着统计中还在不断上涨的数字，心中难以抑制的激动。
If everything went as planned, after this fundraising ended, the Secret Envoy should still give me some of the profits, just like before...
rú guǒ méi yǒu yì wài de huà ， dāng zhè cì de mù zī wán chéng zhī hòu ， mì shǐ dà rén yīng gāi yě huì xiàng qián jǐ cì nà yàng ， jiāng lì rùn fēn yì diǎn gěi wǒ ……
如果没有意外的话，当这次的募资完成之后，秘使大人应该也会像前几次那样，将利润分一点给我……
Even if it was only one percent...
nǎ pà zhǐ yǒu bǎi fēn zhī yī ……
哪怕只有百分之一……
No, even a third of one percent would be enough for He Zhenghao. After all, based on the Secret Envoy's abilities, earning an equivalent profit to his investment wasn't difficult.
bù ， zhǐ yào yǒu bǎi fēn zhī yī de sān fēn zhī yī ， hé zhèng hào jiù xīn mǎn yì zú le 。
不，只要有百分之一的三分之一，何正浩就心满意足了。
That meant he could at least get 300,000 contributions as a reward...
bì jìng àn zhào mì shǐ dà rén de běn shì ， měi cì zhuàn qǔ hé běn jīn xiàng dāng de lì rùn ， xiǎng lái bú shì shén me nán shì 。
毕竟按照秘使大人的本事，每次赚取和本金相当的利润，想来不是什么难事。
Thinking about this, He Zhenghao couldn't help but smile foolishly.
zhè me suàn xià lái ， jiù shì shuō zì jǐ zuì shǎo néng huò dé sān shí wàn gòng xiàn dù de jiǎng shǎng ……
这么算下来，就是说自己最少能获得三十万贡献度的奖赏……
After a long time, he finally snapped out of his reverie and started planning to transfer the contributions to the Secret Envoy. However, an unexpected situation quickly caught him off guard.
niàn jí cǐ chù ， hé zhèng hào liǎn shàng bù zì jué de lù chū le shǎ shǎ de xiào róng 。
念及此处，何正浩脸上不自觉的露出了傻傻的笑容。
The Heavenly Mirror竟然 informed him that it could not find a trading partner, resulting in a failed transaction.
guò le xǔ jiǔ ， tā cái cóng huàn xiǎng shí jiān zhōng qīng xǐng guò lái 。
过了许久，他才从幻想时间中清醒过来。
Droplets of sweat instantly fell from He Zhenghao's forehead.
kāi shǐ dǎ suàn xiān jiāng shǒu zhōng de gòng xiàn dù ， zhuǎn dào mì shǐ dà rén nà biān qù 。
开始打算先将手中的贡献度，转到秘使大人那边去。
There were only two possible reasons for this situation:
kě hěn kuài ， ràng tā cuò shǒu bù jí de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
可很快，让他措手不及的事情发生了。
Either he had made a mistake and the wrong person was targeted, or the other party had temporarily suspended all functions on the Heavenly Mirror.
tiān xuán jìng jìng rán tí shì ， zhǎo bú dào jiāo yì duì xiàng ， zhuǎn zhàng shī bài le 。
天玄镜竟然提示，找不到交易对象，转账失败了。
He Zhenghao quickly realized where the problem lay.
dòu dà de hàn dī ， shà shí jiān cóng hé zhèng hào é tóu dī luò 。
豆大的汗滴，霎时间从何正浩额头滴落。
The first scenario clearly couldn't be true. The Secret Envoy was an officially appointed leader of a sect by the Immortal Alliance.
chū xiàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， zhǐ yǒu liǎng zhǒng kě néng 。
出现这种情况，只有两种可能。
So...
yī shì gǎo cuò le zhuǎn zhàng de duì xiàng ， bù cún mù biāo rén wù 。
一是搞错了转账的对象，不存目标人物。
Recalling Li Fan's deep-seated decision to close himself off and not allow anyone to disturb him, as well as leaving behind a spirit tablet for emergencies,
èr shì duì fāng zàn shí zhōng zhǐ le zì shēn zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng de yī qiè gōng néng quán xiàn 。
二是对方暂时中止了自身在天玄镜中的一切功能权限。
"Shit!" He Zhenghao pounded his thigh.
hé zhèng hào hěn kuài jiù yì shí dào le wèn tí chū zài nǎ lǐ 。
何正浩很快就意识到了问题出在哪里。
"It seems this really is the test that Gao Yuan mentioned."
dì yī zhǒng qíng kuàng ， xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de 。 mì shǐ dà rén kě shì xiān méng qīn diǎn 、 zhǔ zhèng yī fāng de cún zài 。
第一种情况，显然是不可能的。秘使大人可是仙盟钦点、主政一方的存在。
He Zhenghao looked at the astronomical numbers on his account, his face turning pale.
suǒ yǐ ……
所以……
What had once seemed like a pleasant contribution now felt like a death sentence.
yòu lián xiǎng dào zhī qián lǐ fán ruò yǒu shēn yì de ， shuō zì jǐ yào shēn dù bì guān ， bù xǔ rèn hé rén dǎ rǎo 。
又联想到之前李凡若有深意的，说自己要深度闭关，不许任何人打扰。
"Shit, shit. Although my investment skills are unparalleled, it's not always appropriate to use them."
rán hòu gěi zì jǐ liú xià le yī zūn fēn shēn yù jiǎn ， dàng zuò yìng jí zhī yòng 。
然后给自己留下了一尊分身玉简，当做应急之用。
"A few tens or hundreds of thousands in contributions, I can manage."
“ huài le ！” hé zhèng hào měng dì yī pāi dà tuǐ 。
“坏了！”何正浩勐地一拍大腿。
"But with over a hundred million in contributions, how could I possibly handle that?"
“ kàn lái ， zhè zhēn rú gāo yuǎn nà xiǎo zi suǒ shuō ， shì mì shǐ dà rén duì wǒ de kǎo yàn 。”
“看来，这真如高远那小子所说，是秘使大人对我的考验。”
"If I made a profit, that would be fine. But if I lost money, wouldn't I have to make up for the loss?"
hé zhèng hào kàn zhe zì jǐ zhàng shàng de tiān wén shù zì ， liǎn sè bù jīn biàn dé yī piàn shà bái 。
何正浩看着自己账上的天文数字，脸色不禁变得一片煞白。
The more He Zhenghao thought about it, the more he felt terrified.
yuán běn kàn shàng qù shùn yǎn wú bǐ de gòng xiàn dù ， cǐ kè què shì biàn dé rú tóng cuī mìng fú yì bān 。
原本看上去顺眼无比的贡献度，此刻却是变得如同催命符一般。
He knew too well that those cultivators who had sought his help today called him "Friend He" and "Brother He" out of courtesy, but only because they could make a profit.
“ zāo le ， zāo le 。 suī rán wǒ hé zhèng hào de tóu zī néng lì dí què yě shì yī jué ， kě nà yě shì yào fēn qíng kuàng de a 。”
“糟了，糟了。虽然我何正浩的投资能力的确也是一绝，可那也是要分情况的啊。”
If their accumulated contributions were lost in this fundraising plan, they would likely tear him apart alive.
“ jǐ wàn 、 shí jǐ wàn gòng xiàn dù ， wǒ hái néng miǎn qiǎng yìng fù de lái 。”
“几万、十几万贡献度，我还能勉强应付的来。”
He Zhenghao felt dizzy and weak, nearly collapsing to the ground. In that moment, he had an impulse to flee with the money.
“ zhè shàng yì de gòng xiàn dù ， wǒ nǎ lǐ gǎn qù cāo zuò 。”
“这上亿的贡献度，我哪里敢去操作。”
However, he managed to maintain his composure.
“ ruò shì jiǎo xìng yíng lì le hái hǎo ， rú guǒ kuī běn le ， qǐ bù shì hái yào wǒ péi ？”
“若是侥幸盈利了还好，如果亏本了，岂不是还要我赔？”
Shaking his head, He Zhenghao dismissed such a suicidal idea and hurriedly found Gao Yuan.
hé zhèng hào yuè xiǎng ， yuè shì xīn jīng dǎn zhàn 。
何正浩越想，越是心惊胆颤。
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression turned serious.
tā kě shì shí fēn qīng chǔ ， bié kàn jīn rì yǒu qiú yú tā de nà xiē xiū shì ， yí gè yí gè “ hé dào yǒu ”、“ hé dào xiōng ” jiào de qīn qiè 。
他可是十分清楚，别看今日有求于他的那些修士，一个一个“何道友”、“何道兄”叫的亲切。
He didn't immediately give advice but instead frowned, deep in thought.
nà shì jiàn lì zài tā men néng zhuàn qián de qián tí xià 。
那是建立在他们能赚钱的前提下。
He Zhenghao couldn't interrupt him and sat anxiously waiting.
yí dàn tā men qīng jiā dàng chǎn jī zǎn xià lái de gòng xiàn dù ， zài zhè cì mù zī jì huà zhōng yǒu suǒ sǔn shī 。
一旦他们倾家荡产积攒下来的贡献度，在这次募资计划中有所损失。
After a while, Gao Yuan's frown eased, his face clearing up.
kǒng pà tā men dì yí gè yào bǎ tā hé zhèng hào gěi shēng tūn huó sī le 。
恐怕他们第一个要把他何正浩给生吞活撕了。
"Friend He, don't worry. You needn't take any rash actions. Just wait for the Secret Envoy's instructions," he comforted.
hé zhèng hào yī zhèn tóu yūn mù xuàn ， shuāng tuǐ yī ruǎn ， chà diǎn zhí jiē tān ruǎn zài dì 。
何正浩一阵头晕目眩，双腿一软，差点直接瘫软在地。
"Why is that?" He Zhenghao was surprised.
zài zhè ge shùn jiān ， tā de nǎo hǎi zhōng ， shǎn guò le yī sī “ xié kuǎn qián táo ” de niàn tou 。
在这个瞬间，他的脑海中，闪过了一丝“携款潜逃”的念头。
Gao Yuan smiled confidently and said, "Who is the Secret Envoy?"
bù guò hǎo zài tā hái shì miǎn qiǎng néng bǎo chí lǐ zhì de 。
不过好在他还是勉强能保持理智的。
"He may not care much about these 100 million contributions, but even I know such a large sum of money cannot be handled by an ordinary person."
yáo le yáo tóu ， jiāng zhè wú yì yú zì xún sǐ lù de zuò fǎ pāo zhī nǎo hòu ， hé zhèng hào zhèn zuò qǐ jīng shén ， huǒ jí huǒ liǎo de zhǎo dào le gāo yuǎn 。
摇了摇头，将这无异于自寻死路的做法抛之脑后，何正浩振作起精神，火急火燎的找到了高远。
"Friend He, although you have a good reputation, it's clear that you can't manage this profit either," He Zhenghao admitted.
gāo yuǎn tīng wén cǐ shì hòu ， yě shì yī liǎn sù rán 。
高远听闻此事后，也是一脸肃然。
"That is the point. Since we all understand this, how could the Secret Envoy not see it?"
bù guò tā dǎo shì méi yǒu cǎo shuài de qīng yì gěi chū yì jiàn ， ér shì xí guàn xìng de zhòu méi qiāo zhuō ， xiàn rù le sī kǎo zhī zhōng 。
不过他倒是没有草率的轻易给出意见，而是习惯性的皱眉敲桌，陷入了思考之中。
"Do you remember the spirit tablet he left us? When he instructed us to use it to contact him."
hé zhèng hào yě shì bù gǎn dǎ rǎo ， zhǐ dé zuò lì bù ān de ， zài yī páng jiāo jí děng dài 。
何正浩也是不敢打扰，只得坐立不安的，在一旁焦急等待。
"But think about it; the spirit tablet contains a fragment of his consciousness. So naturally, he can also contact us through it," He Zhenghao realized.
bàn shǎng zhī hòu ， gāo yuǎn méi tóu shū zhǎn ， liǎn shàng yīn mái jǐn qù 。
半晌之后，高远眉头舒展，脸上阴霾尽去。
"The 100 million contributions will be handled as the Secret Envoy has planned. Just do what you are told and complete the fundraising," Gao Yuan advised.
tā ān wèi dào ：“ hé dào yǒu fàng xīn 。 nǐ wú xū qīng jǔ wàng dòng ， zhǐ yào nài xīn děng dài mì shǐ dà rén de mìng lìng jiù hǎo 。”
他安慰道：“何道友放心。你无须轻举妄动，只要耐心等待秘使大人的命令就好。”
"Remember, subordinates should not make decisions on their own or act too cleverly."
hé zhèng hào è rán ：“ gāo xiōng zhè shì hé yì a ？”
何正浩愕然：“高兄这是何意啊？”
"This time, you were fortunate to come to me for advice instead of panicking and using the spirit tablet directly."
gāo yuǎn xiào le xiào ， xiōng yǒu chéng zhú de shuō dào ：“ mì shǐ dà rén shì hé děng rén yě ？”
高远笑了笑，胸有成竹的说道：“秘使大人是何等人也？”
"Otherwise, this test would have failed you," Gao Yuan said earnestly.
“ suī shuō tā běn rén huò xǔ bìng bù zěn me zài hū zhè yī yì gòng xiàn dù ， dàn jiù suàn shì wǒ yě zhī dào ， zhè yàng yī bǐ jù kuǎn ， cháng rén gēn běn shì wú fǎ zhǎng kòng de 。”
“虽说他本人或许并不怎么在乎这一亿贡献度，但就算是我也知道，这样一笔巨款，常人根本是无法掌控的。”
He Zhenghao thought deeply, gulped, and quickly bowed to Gao Yuan.
“ hé dào yǒu nǐ suī rán yě sù yǒu míng shēng ， dàn shì xiǎn rán yě méi yǒu bǎ wò néng jiāng qí yùn zuò yíng lì 。”
“何道友你虽然也素有名声，但是显然也没有把握能将其运作盈利。”
"Thank you, Brother Gao, for your help. If there's anything I can do in the future, just let me know!"
hé zhèng hào wén yán ， lián máng diǎn tóu chéng rèn 。
何正浩闻言，连忙点头承认。
"Haha, He Brother is too polite. In the Secret Envoy's service, we need to look out for each other," Gao Yuan replied politely.
gāo yuǎn jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ zhè jiù shì le 。 jì rán wǒ men dōu xīn zhī dù míng ， nà me mì shǐ dà rén yòu zěn me kě néng bù míng bái zhè yì diǎn ne ？”
高远接着说道：“这就是了。既然我们都心知肚明，那么秘使大人又怎么可能不明白这一点呢？”
With Gao Yuan's guidance, He Zhenghao finally felt relieved and rushed back to continue his fundraising plan.
“ hái jì de tā liú gěi wǒ men de nà zūn fēn shēn yù jiǎn ma 。 mì shǐ dà rén jiāo dài de shí hòu ， shuō wǒ men kě yǐ yòng tā hé dà rén qǔ dé lián xì 。”
“还记得他留给我们的那尊分身玉简嘛。秘使大人交代的时候，说我们可以用它和大人取得联系。”
Watching He Zhenghao leave, Gao Yuan's expression was mysterious.
“ dàn fǎn guò lái xiǎng ， zhè fēn shén yù jiǎn dāng zhōng ， bāo hán dà rén de yī lǚ shén shí 。 nà me dà rén tā zì rán yě kě yǐ suí hòu tōng guò tā ， lián xì wǒ men 。”
“但反过来想，这分神玉简当中，包含大人的一缕神识。那么大人他自然也可以随后通过它，联系我们。”
He repeatedly tried to win He Zhenghao over because he saw him as having a special status in the Secret Envoy's eyes.
hé zhèng hào wén yán ， huǎng rán dà wù 。
何正浩闻言，恍然大悟。
Though both were tools, there was no doubt that some tools were more favored than others.
“ zhè yī yì gòng xiàn dù ， jiū jìng rú hé chǔ lǐ 。 dà rén dìng rán zǎo yǒu ān pái 。 hé dào yǒu nǐ zhǐ guǎn zuò hǎo dà rén fēn fù de shì ， jiāng gòng xiàn dù mù jí wán bì 。”
“这一亿贡献度，究竟如何处理。大人定然早有安排。何道友你只管做好大人吩咐的事，将贡献度募集完毕。”
Those who worked well were often used again.
“ rán hòu děng dài dà rén de zhǐ shì jiù xíng 。”
“然后等待大人的指示就行。”
And He Zhenghao seemed to fit this category.
The contribution rate for this fundraising effort exceeded He Zhenghao's expectations.
When he announced that Li Fan was about to restart the fundraising plan, the many cultivators in Congyunhai were eager not to miss out on this rare chance to make a fortune. They rushed to transfer their contributions to He Zhenghao without hesitation.
