You Catch a Strong Whiff of A-Share Market Leeks
Little B, do you think you're capable again?
Investing in the stock market involves risks; please proceed with caution.
At this point, if you don't trust the professionals and give blind advice, aren't you just making things difficult for the Spirit Stones?
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You sit inside Han Shishan's cave abode, continuing your monotonous seclusion.]
[Even the slightest rustle of grass in Qingyang City can be clearly seen through the Crow-Crow.]
Shen Yuerong certainly didn't disappoint you.
[As a seasoned business Golden Core with years of experience, her grasp of timing is frighteningly precise.]
[While panic was spreading and everyone was selling off their stock, the Azure Dragon Merchant Association secretly bought up a massive amount of goods.]
[Your 3.5 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones were also swept up at the market's lowest point.]
[The average purchase price is only one-third of what it used to be.]
[You essentially bought ten million worth of Mystic Marrow Jade for three and a half million.]
While retail investors in the market are still lamenting, you have already completed the establishment of your initial position.
[You sit comfortably on the Jade Bed in your cave abode, continuing to deduce the As-If-Original Seal.]
[Work Experience, valid.]
[Passive Income, effective.]
[Two months after Han Shishan departed.]
News spread within the Azure Cloud Sect that the border mines had been attacked by multiple forces from the Domain of Chaos.
[The fate of Han Shishan, the elder guarding the mine, is unknown. The Mystic Marrow Jade Vein has been lost, and the supply of Mystic Marrow Jade has been cut off.]
The Azure Cloud Sect's higher-ups were furious, and the Sect Master personally emerged from seclusion to discuss countermeasures.
[The news caused an uproar within the Azure Cloud Sect.]
The price of Mystic Marrow Jade immediately surged, with prices rising three times in a single day.
[Countless disciples and Lineage dependent on the sect began frantically hoarding goods.]
The outside world has gone completely mad.
[You sit in your cave abode, your Divine Sense probing outwards. Two inner disciples from Old Pine Peak are arguing fiercely over borrowing a few hundred Spirit Stones.]
"Senior brother, believe me, the price of this Mystic Marrow Jade will definitely go up!"
"Buy now, and your money will triple next month! I've even pawned my flying sword. Lend me another five hundred Spirit Stones, and I'll consider it your investment!"
"Get lost! I don't even have enough Spirit Stones to fill a tooth gap, who cares if you invest or not!"
As you listen to these comments, you become even more certain of your suspicions.
[If the mine were truly to be lost, the first reaction of the Azure Cloud Sect's higher-ups would definitely be to seal off the warehouses and reserve the remaining Mystic Marrow Jade as a strategic reserve.]
How could disciples and merchants be allowed to exchange and trade at will?
This familiar pattern of "spreading negative news, buying at low prices, releasing positive news, and distributing at high prices" reeks of exploiting retail investors in the A-share market.
[However, you still felt a bit sentimental, realizing that different professions are like different worlds.]
[This event, which involves the price of Mystic Marrow Jade in the nine major Central Region the Azure Dragon Domain, left very little trace in your memory as Alchemist during the last simulation.]
[Or rather, even if you had heard it at the time, you wouldn't have thought there was anything fishy going on.]
News of the fall of the Azure Cloud Sect quickly broke through the Azure Cloud Sect's blockade and spread throughout the entire Qingyang Domain.
The Rogue Cultivators of Qingyang Domain only knew that the Mystic Marrow Jade had skyrocketed, but they had no idea why.
[Immediately afterwards, the panic over rising prices began to spread to the Nine Great Central Regions of the Azure Dragon.]
Shen Yuerong's operation was flawless.
Instead of dumping all her stock on the market at once, she broke it down into numerous small orders, mixing them into the frenzied buying.
[The retail investors, their eyes red with greed, eagerly took the chips from your hands, clutching their hard-earned Spirit Stones.]
[Some sold their flying swords, some mortgaged their cave abode.]
The price of Mystic Marrow Jade is still rising.
[Your ten million in inventory is being converted into cash at an astonishing speed.]
[Your Spirit Stones have exceeded ten million, twenty million...]
[You watched as the Azure Cloud Sect disciples outside nearly fought over a piece of Mystic Marrow Jade, yet you felt not a ripple of emotion.]
This is the essence of cultivation capitalism.
[The lower-level disciples believed they were making independent judgments and accurately predicting the market, but in reality, they were being precisely manipulated.]
The more they tried to judge and the more actively they traded, the more they lost.
[Twenty days later, your inventory will be completely sold out.]
[After deducting the 30% profit given to Shen Yuerong and the 3 million loan, your net profit is a whopping 42 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[Forty-two million is half of the profit that the young heiress Si Wangshu made from a single bet.]
[Thinking about it this way, you've calmed down a lot.]
[It doesn't even need to be done on Salty Fish marketplace app).]
[You finally understand what a "cake-cutting knife" really means.]
[You do not participate in the sect's internal power struggles regarding the distribution of spoils.]
[You stood on the sidelines, taking advantage of information asymmetry, and made a fortune.]
[The day after you finished clearing out your inventory.]
[The Azure Cloud Sect's top leadership has officially released a notice.]
[The sect has assembled five Nascent Soul, leading its elite disciples, determined to reclaim the border mines.]
[You watched the various messages flying around the Azure Cloud Sect without even lifting an eyelid.]
[You quietly left the Azure Cloud Sect and reappeared at the Azure Dragon Merchant Association in Qingyang City.]
[You sit in that familiar private room, sipping Spirit Tea.]
[Shen Yuerong pushes a Storage Bag full of Spirit Stones in front of you.]
[Forty-two million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[This one gamble has yielded enough Spirit Stones for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Perfection stage.]
[In your entire life—including the previous simulations, and your life on Blue Star —let's not even include that life on Blue Star —you've never seen so much money.]
From this day forward, no one can call you a pauper anymore.
[Options pop up.]
[A: With a blank expression, he put away the Storage Bag, maintaining his superior demeanor.]
[B: Have Shen Yuerong go to the Heavenly Certification Alliance to get you a "Qingyang City's Richest Man" certificate, and have 10,000 Mystic Marrow Jade Nameplates made to distribute to everyone you meet.]
[C: They booked the largest brothel in Qingyang City and hung up a banner that read: "Tonight, all expenses will be paid by Young Master Lu! In addition, we are hiring a female cultivator who is good at PowerPoint to help us grow bigger and stronger!"]
