Half an hour later.

Glancing at Qian Shan Xuehui, he noticed she was searching for some very strange things.

"Top 10 Garbage Stocks!"

"Most Recommended Stocks This Year!"

"If You Buy This in the Stock Market, You Might Go Bankrupt!"

Xi Shenlian chose to silently chew on the tempura lobster that had just been fried.

It was a bluish-green lobster about as long as a teenager's forearm.

The taste is okay...

But a bit bland...

Next time, I'll just combine the flavors at a chain hot pot restaurant.

Thinking this.

He picked up a plate of sauce and poured it into his mouth.

Did he need to care about the price when he bought things?

Not at all.

Therefore, when buying things at stores or clothes, he could no longer tell the difference.

It was hard to have any thoughts.

As long as he liked it~

And after a few more minutes.

Under the chef's mournful expression, worse than if his mother had died.

Qian Shan Xuehui, who had specifically bought junk stocks, the ones that had fallen the hardest recently, and even those that had been making shareholders cry for years, still welcomed a surge.

Ten billion Yen had stubbornly risen to over three billion Yen, a profit of 300% in just half an hour!!

Finally.

Qian Shan Xuehui began to suspect that Xi Shenlian was fooling her with some simulation software.

"You keep doing this back and forth, and there's no way to lose money!!"

"This isn't a fake software, is it??"

Just then.

On the TV nearby.

The news channel was also broadcasting an urgent report:

"The Eastern Ying stock market, long plagued by crashes, finally has hope!!"

"Many junk stocks are inexplicably soaring!!"

"Now, let's have our on-site reporter invite the famous economics expert—Professor XX—to share his views!!"

The scene shifted.

A host asked a middle-aged man:

"Professor, what are your thoughts on the sudden rise of these stocks?"

After speaking, he handed the microphone to the other person.

And the other person was very direct:

"Although I can't understand the changing situation at all, I am truly shocked."

"Are those stocks the kind that can rise?"

And then.

The screen cut to the stock market section, where another expert pointed at several underlined lines on the big screen and said:

"...Although the rise of some stocks has truly exceeded our expectations."

"These few stocks are still falling resolutely, which proves that our previous speculation was not wrong. We need to maintain a sense of awe..."

Seeing this.

After glancing at those few stocks.

Qian Shan Xuehui bought one hundred million Yen worth of each stock.

A few seconds later.

On the television.

The expert said in utter terror:

"They're up!!"

"They're going up!!"

"What right do they have to go up!!!"

"Why is this happening!!!"

These were roars of anger and panic from someone whose professional expertise was severely challenged.

"..."

Qian Shan Xuehui couldn't help but curl her lips as she watched.

The total value of the stocks on the phone also conveniently reached five billion Yen.

As a side note.

The head chef, who had been watching the unfolding events, suffered a heart attack from sheer rage and was currently having an ambulance called for him by the other staff.

Only Xi Shenlian continued to eat his meal steadily.

Completely undisturbed.

He looked at Qian Shan Xuehui, who was questioning the very nature of life, and said calmly:

"Eat something first."

Then.

He didn't forget to turn his head and point at the fallen head chef, saying to the other waiters:

"You guys carry this guy to another room..."

An hour later.

Amidst the respectful farewells of the various staff members.

Xi Shenlian swaggered out of the establishment, a yellow toothpick hanging from his mouth.

Qian Shan Xuehui also returned the phone, whose funds had doubled again, to Xi Shenlian.

She was utterly bewildered.

Why would someone with superpowers also have this kind of "money ability"? It was too unfair!

Even superhero comics knew that people with superpowers were usually losers! How were the stories supposed to progress? How were conflicts supposed to arise if the protagonist's setup was too high?

Of course.

What angered her even more was that when she traded stocks on her own phone, she lost a significant chunk of her savings in just ten minutes.

But when she used Xi Shenlian's phone to operate again.

No matter how she did it.

Even if she closed her eyes and randomly clicked, buying whichever stock her finger landed on, she still made a fortune!!

It felt as if Xi Shenlian's money was completely immune to losses.

Ah, my heart is being twisted like a knife...

She felt truly miserable after losing money.

In response.

Xi Shenlian merely smiled.

He didn't say much.

Hmm.

Her pained expression...

Really made him want to laugh~

A few more minutes passed.

Walking on the bustling streets filled with people, Xi Shenlian suddenly raised his head.

"It's snowing..."

"Hm?"

After looking up, Qian Shan Xuehui said proudly:

"Good thing I wore my down jacket~"

As if remarking on her own foresight.

After gazing at the snowflakes for a moment, Xi Shenlian asked:

"Are you going back to school tomorrow?"

Qian Shan Xuehui smiled and replied, "Yes, I'll go back early tomorrow to prepare things, and the class will officially start the day after."

"The Tokyo Sakura Women's Private University I attend is a really good school~"

As she said this, she nudged Xi Shenlian's side with her elbow.

"The students there are basically rich young ladies from all over the country. It's totally the paradise you've always dreamed of!!"

"The legendary place where rich women are everywhere!!"

Even now, she remembered Xi Shenlian's childhood dream of finding a rich woman to support him.

Xi Shenlian, knowing what she was referring to, didn't argue.

He said directly, "It's in Sakura District, right?"

"I'll come visit you in a while. Then you can introduce all your classmates to me~"

"The prettiest ones, okay!"

"You know, I'm not interested in ugly girls~"

Hearing his possessive tone, Qian Shan Xuehui was immediately displeased.

She quickly punched him twice in the waist:

"You really dare to think like that!!"

Then she launched into a flurry of rapid punches.

But their effect could only be described as Fancy Footwork.

Xi Shenlian didn't even flinch.

Some time later.

In a high-end residential area.

In front of the gate of a large mansion.

Xi Shenlian glanced at the nameplate that read "Qian Shan."

"Is this your house?"

"Yes, do you want to come in for a bit?"

"...I'll pass this time."

"Then, see you next time?"

"Yeah, see you next time."

The moment she turned to leave, Xi Shenlian said again, "Oh, right."

"Young Lady Qian Shan Xuehui~"

"If there's ever anything you want to do but can't, you can call me directly, and I'll do my best. You know, I clearly remember the kindness of your maternal grandfather. Even if you wanted to be the queen of Earth, I could make it happen~"

Hearing this, Qian Shan Xuehui laughed happily, "Okay~ I believe you~"
