Chapter 105: “To hell with the Financial Street!”

The golden light illuminated the clouds, brighter than the sun.

The strangeness of Financial Street was finally brought to light.

Yu Yan had seen a round of reports.

The Financial Street had no NPC reporters, nor was there any news information.

All information was spontaneously published online by the players.

The image was spreading like a plague.

It was the investment curve of a certain game.

In fact, there were still a large number of players who didn't understand how to analyze games and investments.

The person who had uploaded this video was very knowledgeable.

He knew what the password to traffic was and simply added a tense and exciting drumbeat music to the image, along with a commentary.

“This can definitely be called a battle of the century, my friends. The various parties involved in the battle of the century are no strangers to everyone.”

“First of all, the notorious three major enterprises.”

“They pride themselves on operating the Financial Street, trying to sell castles in the air to every player. They promise that as long as you pay the membership fee, everyone will have a bright future.”

“But what have they actually done? They took the money, and in turn, they pushed the star players they had carefully created in front of the public, patiently lurking for several months, and making a fortune in one harvest.”

“One side is Zu Qisheng.”

“There can’t be a player on Financial Street who hasn’t heard of him, right? Even if you’re still a stranger to this name, you must have been captured by big data while surfing the internet and have seen a face that made you lose your senses under the push mechanism that is Zu Qisheng.”

“He has been serving the ‘upper class’ since a few years ago and has been firmly in a high position. According to insiders, the commission he charges is ridiculously high. Can you imagine? He only needs to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a plan prepared by others, and his account will have more funds than an ordinary player can earn in decades, without any risk.”

“The three major enterprises and Zu Qisheng were originally in a cooperative relationship, or to put it more bluntly, a parasitic relationship. They had no conflict of interest, but all of this, on a certain day three months ago, completely changed.”

In the video, a simple diagram representing the three major enterprises was pasted, as well as a screenshot of Zu Qisheng from the "charity video," connected by a green two-way arrow.

The commentary in the video was fast-paced, but every word was spoken clearly, and with a tone that could stir the audience's emotions.

“Zu Qisheng was right about one thing. The players are not actually in opposition to each other. The ones who are trying to make the players oppose each other, apart from the three major enterprises who are desperately trying to muddy the waters, is the Financial Street itself.”

“So, I have been paying close attention to the three major enterprises and the entire investment center. Gradually, I discovered the astonishing fact hidden behind this curve.”

“Let me tell you what happened in these thrilling three months.”

“Simply put, there have been fifteen investments similar to today’s, but the amount was not high.”

“It’s too terrifying, and it has nothing to do with the amount. I have never seen the odds of any game fluctuate as much as in those fifteen times. The odds in one game would plummet by 50%, then soar by 180%, then plummet again, and then soar again. No one dared to follow, but we gradually came to understand some things.”

“That was the first time I knew that there was also an upper limit to the adjustment of the odds. I vaguely realized that someone was testing the rules of Financial Street.”

“Friends, friends, friends!”

The video switched to a picture of fifteen odds curves.

The upward line segments were marked in red, and the downward line segments were marked in green, crisscrossing like sawtooths.

The continuous ups and downs made people frown subconsciously.

The commentator became more and more excited.

“We only knew that we needed to figure out the rules of the game, the rules of investment. We have never questioned the Financial Street itself.”

“We always scold the players who are richer than ourselves and despise the players whose assets are not as good as ours. And no one has ever tried to challenge the Financial Street Zu Qisheng is the first!”

A screenshot of Zu Qisheng replaced the explanation pieced together from the fifteen curve charts, once again dominating the entire screen with an absolute main position.

His appearance was originally very impactful.

Coupled with the background of the commentary and the foreshadowing of the music, it was simply breathtaking.

“I know you might want to ask, why is it Zu Qisheng?”

“It’s very simple. All investments are bet in the name of the three major enterprises. The high-level officials of the enterprises are the players who have the most opportunity to leave. They are only one step away from returning to reality with a huge sum of money. They are the beneficiaries of the rules. Why would they challenge the rules?”

“And who else can use the agents of the three major enterprises at the same time? There is no one else besides Zu Qisheng.”

“Now, everyone roughly knows what happened on the Financial Street. As the house, it hosted a game that brought about a huge loss. The result, as you can see, is that two major enterprises won their bets, and one enterprise lost everything.”

“But just like that, it wouldn’t have reached the point of bankruptcy. The key is the participation of the retail players.”

As he spoke, the Zu Qisheng in the picture was shrunk, and the relationship diagram of the three major enterprises & Zu Qisheng, which had been connected by a two-way arrow before, returned to view.

The difference was that next to Zu Qisheng, there were also two words circled in a circle players.

Then, a gold coin gradually appeared at the top of the screen.

The three-party pattern that had led to the outbreak of today’s incident was officially formed.

A line of small words appeared at the bottom.

“Three Major Enterprises & Zu Qisheng Players & Financial Street”

“Zu Qisheng didn’t make any appeal, but there were still tens of thousands of players who spontaneously participated in this investment and established countless discussion groups. If you click into the discussion groups now, you might still be able to see the complete process of the entire event.”

“To summarize, that charity video was tacitly understood. In this bet, the retail players spontaneously supported Zu Qisheng. Through our research on him over the past three months, we know the target he really wants to target.”

“He needed to increase the stakes and have the Financial Street secretly change the odds. We would bet in the direction he wanted.”

“He had already determined who would win and who would lose. We would start to crazily follow the bet when the odds were adjusted to the upper limit.”

The screen flashed to a black background.

On the left was the red side of the game, and on the right was the blue side.

The amount of the bet was marked under the red and blue circles.

They were two incredible numbers, so much so that people even suspected that a decimal point had been missed.

As time went on, the width of the two strings of numbers was almost about to exceed the screen.

The numbers could only be made smaller, and then smaller.

In the end, the numbers on the screen had almost become a thin, long line.

“We won’t question who wins the game. Everyone knows that the result will be as Zu Qisheng wishes. The side he invests more in is the winner. The matter is now a foregone conclusion. Zu Qisheng has won.”

“It’s really too crazy, not just Zu Qisheng, but all the players have gone crazy.”

“They are willing to sacrifice their assets and use them as a tool to adjust the odds.”

“In an investment with a huge total amount, the sacrificed assets are enough to establish several new ‘three major enterprises,’ and even more.”

“There are also players who have bet all of their meager assets. Their assets have been cleared to zero, but they are not yet bankrupt, because the Financial Street cannot come up with the ‘debt’ it owes to Zu Qisheng.”

“Before its debts are settled, all other transactions will be put on hold.”

The commentator took a deep breath.

His voice suddenly became louder and more impassioned, and the drumbeat of the background music also became denser, like a frantically beating heart.

“But this is the first time that retail players have ‘come to the table.’ We all thought we were gold prospectors when we came here, because the Financial Street did not explain any risks in advance.”

“Do you still remember its advertising slogan? You have obtained the qualification to enter the Financial Street. Begin your journey of exploring wealth and opportunities in the complex game environment.”

“What qualification? The qualification to be treated as a fool and cheated in the real world, and then to be exploited by the three major enterprises after coming here? The qualification to sell your own hands and feet at the exchange? Or the qualification to go and die once a week?”

“To hell with the three major enterprises! To hell with the Financial Street!!!”

After watching the video, Yu Yan hesitated and then saved it.

The comments below were varied.

The publisher had deliberately pinned a comment.

It was clearly posted by someone related to an enterprise.

It defined Zu Qisheng’s behavior as a malicious breach of contract and said that the players were engaged in a foolish and speculative follow-the-trend.

There were thousands of scolding comments in the replies.

Now it was Zu Qian who was driving.

His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his glasses had been thrown away long ago.

He rolled down the car window a little, and the strong wind blew his styled hair into a mess.

His driving habits were very bad.

He would either step on the gas to the floor, or he would slam on the brakes and turn the steering wheel sharply.

It couldn't be said that he wasn't driving fast, but that he was flying too low.

Before the giant gold coin collapsed, no one knew where its exact bottom was.

Now they know.

It was at the highest point of the pile of golden corpses.

A player had filmed that a door had suddenly appeared above the corpses.

Zu Qian and Yu Yan were rushing there.

Zu Qian made a turn.

The road ahead was blocked.

A large number of players were on the street.

They didn't know what they would see, but no one wanted to miss it.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t crash into them!!”

Yu Yan was quick-witted.

He didn't care if he was in danger or not.

He directly grabbed Zu Qian’s hand and frantically turned the steering wheel.

This ancestor actually wanted to directly crash into the crowd of players blocking the road!

Zu Qian stepped on the brakes.

He glanced at Yu Yan with a murderous look in his eyes.

Yu Yan met his gaze with courage.

He found that Zu Qian was actually more nervous than him, like a tightened string.

Zu Qian did not know the boss’s plan.

He did not know what his brother wanted to do.

Like all the players on the Financial Street, he was also going crazy—crazy with anxiety.

***

“I’m a little panicked, Brother Dai.”

Don't look at Meng Yu'an's deep and thoughtful expression, and his unwavering gaze as he acted as Zu Qisheng's driver.

In the sea of consciousness, Guanfu was trembling like a little cat.

“All the big scenes in the infinite flow that I know should be in the game. I’ve never seen a player come up and unite with the players, blow up the main god space, and take over as the host.”

The cowlick little yellow chicken: “That’s because you haven’t seen the world.”

The cowlick little yellow chicken was silent for a while, and then said: “I haven’t seen the world either.”

The cowlick little yellow chicken only knew that the host on the other side was very capable of causing trouble.

The same plot, he could just revise it to be thrilling and exciting.

Many of the foreshadowing in the front would be detonated together, blowing hell up to heaven.

But those all had prerequisites, such as a strong confrontational worldview, and a big setting that would chop off people’s hands and feet and take people’s lives at every turn.

But this time, he didn't care about the game.

Since it was the Financial Street, he would follow the simplest literal meaning.

He had packaged the content that had a reading threshold for the readers.

The packaging paper could be the encounters of big Zu and little Zu, it could be the sweet and innocent Yu Yan, or it could be Meng Yu'an.

The readers would stay because of these things they could understand, and then witness a "riot" that involved the entire Financial Street.

You don't understand what he did?

It doesn't matter.

He doesn't need you to understand.

He just wants you to see a lit Financial Street.

The players' emotions were raised to an unprecedented high.

Even in the main story, there would not be such a day of "working together with one heart."

These profit-seeking madmen actually began to disregard their interests and just wanted to vent their anger.

What could assets and wealth buy?

They couldn't get out anyway.

Since they couldn't buy freedom, then let's just bet it all on madness.

The core theme was spoken by the players themselves: to hell with the Financial Street.

The cowlick little yellow chicken: “Damn it, he even set the main storyline for the main story. Any author with a brain would be happy to pick it up and eat it. What’s the point of fighting with the players under the rules? A real man has to blow up the capital.”

The evil silver-shaded trembled and said: “It’s a good thing I’m not in charge of the main story.”

The cowlick little yellow chicken frantically stomped on his cat head like it was a weed and said angrily.

“Can you be a little more promising! If you’re like this, how can I hold my head up high in the chicken flock! You’re clearly also very hardworking and have done a good job, but when it’s time for the settlement, they will all think it’s the ‘Earth teacher’s’ credit, and you’re just a stupid cat who was carried!”

Guanfu cried out in pain and covered his head:

“Isn’t that pretty good? I couldn’t get a reward in the first place, but the Earth teacher can get credit points based on his evaluation.”

Guanfu: “Did you just praise me?”

The cowlick little yellow chicken: “No.”

Guanfu said to himself: “You’ve been purely scolding me all along, and you’ve wanted to break up with me at every turn so this is my reward, right? Let’s cuddle.”

The cowlick little yellow chicken: “...”

The cowlick little yellow chicken: “You get lost.”

Chu Zu was reading the reader's comments.

The system had originally wanted to directly open the forum, but Chu Zu had said there was no need.

“If I’m not mistaken, there should be a large number of posts analyzing Meng Yu'an’s personality before and after. The readers have been with him for too long in the main story. As long as he performs a little bit outstandingly, he can immediately attract a lot of attention.”

Guanfu’s actions were all seen by Chu Zu.

He would not question Guanfu’s level.

And this was also the olive branch that he had actively extended.

If the other party couldn't catch it, he would instead reflect on himself and wonder if his judgment was bad.

“Directly search for information related to the two brothers or the Financial Street, extract the popular and selected comments, and sort them out.”

The little yellow chicken readily agreed and had the job done in a flash.

梭｜哈 is a retard: Wo… cao… Teacher big Zu, you are really a teacher.

The way he fooled the three major enterprises has a prototype.

You can check out the Enron company.

It’s a classic case study in auditing class.

To go all in is a retard: A company that was called the seventh largest in the United States and the sixteenth largest in the world just by faking it.

Enron company created a beautiful financial report by moving accounts.

To go all in is a retard: But those old dogs at Enron company were exploiting legal loopholes, and no one had done this shit before.

Teacher Big Zu relies entirely on his own established reputation.

Teacher, teacher!!!

Pants: The last time I saw retail investors beat up capital was the Wall Street battle of the century in 21.

An electric toothbrush is my last luxury: Is Teacher Big Zu going to revise the second economic law?

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.

So it wasn't that Brother Meng didn't want to change it, but that he couldn't.

At least for now.

Earth Big Mango: He really can’t.

He hasn’t met the conditions.

At least he has to have the ability to influence the wins and losses of other players’ games, and he’s still working on that.

Earth Big Mango: The gold coin on the Financial Street is so tacky, just like the design of the entire Financial Street.

The huge gold coin is always towering, and inside it is hidden the death that has not been completely “digested.”

The corpse is even plated with gold.

What an obvious symbol.

Earth Big Mango: The most valuable things in the universal sense of humanity are combined into one and become the Financial Street itself.

There is a deliberate cover-up, there is a primitive desire, there are beneficiaries who defend it, and now there are also dissatisfied curses that go straight to the sky.

If you say that modern society is an economic society, then the Financial Street is the most barbaric, primitive, and extreme economic society.

Earth Big Mango: Only after reading the prequel will you realize what the main story is missing.

The setting is obviously very new, and the two primitive desires of humanity are intertwined.

But the main story still focuses on the content of infinite flow.

After so many words, it still hasn’t touched on the essence of wealth.

But this also fits Meng Yu'an’s character design.

He has a resistant attitude towards transactions, and the prequel also explained why he would have this resistance.

Brother, brother: I have to say, Teacher Big Zu is really.

I say that the starting point of many of his things is little Zu.

No one has any objections, right?

A Chihuahua that is good at biting: Didn't someone say before that to go all in the prequel is as simple as breathing?

I get it now, because life in the prequel is not valuable at all.

The second economic law and the third economic law have raised the risk, which has made the players start to examine the price and become conservative.

There hasn't been a second Zu Qisheng in so many years.

They can't be stable, and they can't go crazy.

Talking about feelings is so hurtful to money: Watching Meng Yu'an get lost in a series of Brother Mengs, forget it, it's also fine to say he's finding himself.

Brother Meng, fly bravely.

He'll bear the decadence himself.

I’m not mentally well, don’t provoke me: An interesting point, actually, you can also see big Zu and little Zu as one person.

It’s not that they became one person after they sold their things.

They have been a whole since they were young.

Teacher Big Zu is the rational and calculating side.

Before a decision is made, a more reckless little Zu will come forward.

Similarly, when life is very bad, little Zu wants to do something small and illegal.

It is the rational Teacher Big Zu who comes out to stop him.

Isn’t this how people make decisions?

Reason and emotion fight.

Whoever has the upper hand, you listen to them.

When faced with a desperate situation, reason and emotion begin to shake hands and make up.

After coming to the Financial Street, this characteristic was magnified.

It is the relationship between the brain and the limbs.

And what kind of place is Financial Street?

It objectifies, alienates, and cuts people.

Only then can the two personalities be separated.

Earth Big Mango: Yes, so this is the reason why they can’t leave the Financial Street, right?

People always hate certain characteristics of themselves.

Sometimes they dislike themselves for not being bold enough, and sometimes they hate themselves for being too empathetic.

At least on the Financial Street, they only need to hate each other, not themselves.

Animalization Crisis: I knew little Zu couldn’t possibly hate his brother.

He loves him so much.

He wishes his brother would fall seriously ill the next second and not be able to get up again.

He could immediately jump up and dance with the clear-eyed university student to celebrate.

That kind of love.

“Why is this ‘Animalization Crisis’ on the selected comments?”

Chu Zu had been looking at the discussions about the revisions all the way, and the style at the end had suddenly changed.

The system said honestly: “Because of the popularity.”

Chu Zu said, “Do we have to count this popularity?”

The little yellow chicken was a little aggrieved: “His description is also very accurate. Little Zu’s character design is really capable of doing this…”

Chu Zu sighed.

The character design was fine, the progress was fine, the worldview was fine, and the readers were also fine.

“After this job is over, can we apply for a promotion?”

Chu Zu said, “This job counts as three. And the other side will probably still try to poach us. If we submit the character evaluations of these many times and the poaching emails from the other side, can we apply?”

The little yellow chicken thought for a moment: “I can try. Why don’t we just change jobs? The superior of the cowlick little chicken is very good-tempered.”

Chu Zu stroked its head: “Yes, add this sentence too. Say that if the application is not approved, we will change jobs.”

The little yellow chicken had learned another trick to handle its superior and quickly wrote it down in its little notebook:

“...Okay!”

In a flash, outside the sea of consciousness, the car stopped.

Meng Yu'an and Zu Qisheng were very fast and had arrived in front of the mountain of corpses before the crowd had gathered.

A player immediately recognized Zu Qisheng.

No one approached him.

They just watched as he slowly climbed up the mountain of corpses with Meng Yu'an’s help.

Zu Qisheng's physical fitness was not good.

He was always unstable on the surface of the gold-plated corpses and had to be pulled by the person next to him.

But his face was not pale.

The well-fitting coat he was wearing covered his thin build.

Under the brilliant light of the sun and the gold, his face became more and more calm, and he walked up step by step.

Zu Qisheng had been walking up step by step.

Chu Zu was originally a physical wreck.

He would be panting after climbing two steps.

It was very consistent with Zu Qisheng's current state.

“You now know the way Financial Street collapses.”

When he was halfway up, Chu Zu suddenly said, “You were actually not wrong, Brother Meng. Even a country can go bankrupt, let alone Financial Street.”

Meng Yu'an frowned: “What are you trying to say?”

Chu Zu: “I’m paying taxes… or rather, paying back taxes?”

Meng Yu'an: “...”

Chu Zu guessed that Guanfu was now frantically searching for what this meme was.

After he took over, he might not be able to remember every detail that the previous person had written.

He still had to remember, otherwise the past conversations and plots would be useless.

If you want to grasp the entire plot, the specialist has to interpret it completely from the creator’s level.

Guanfu had been working hard to make the character he was responsible for better, but hard work was not enough.

You also needed skills.

The skill to make a character be reborn on the premise of not violating the rules, or walking on the edge of violating the rules.

It wasn't difficult to learn.

The essence of a specialist was creation plus acting.

There were special acting classes for acting, and it was the same for creation.

It was just that not many specialists would go and learn it.

The mountain of corpses was really too high.

The door was clearly in sight, close at hand, but he couldn't climb up no matter what.

But Chu Zu knew that he could go up.

Even if he stood still now, the Financial Street would let him open that door.

“Synchronize the known content of the second economic law with me.”

In the sea of consciousness, Chu Zu said to the system.

The system was flipping through it, and then it heard the host say faintly: “I’m going to add some of my own stuff.”
