I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 378

Chapter 378 A Special Item In The Store

At Shanghai's Lu Jiazui in a skyscraper that was as high as the clouds.

Mr. Niu asked, “Has the stock price dropped again?”

The trader said, “Yes, it's dropped down again. It seems as though… someone is using us to raise the stock price for them to sell off their stocks.”

Mr. Niu asked, “How much did the other party sell off this time?”

The trader said, “Because of the previous experience, I only placed 230 units on the limit order which is worth 1.2 million yuan. After the other party took the bait, he stopped operating further.”

Mr. Niu asked, “That little?” Mr. Niu smiled. “What's there to be concerned about? Don't worry about him. He's probably just a small investor. Continue with the operation. We'll proceed according to our

plan.”

In order to manipulate a stock to gain the highest profits, one has to try their best to acquire stocks when the price is low and then use the least amount of money to raise the stock price. Then, at the most suitable price, they would fluctuate the price and continue to sell off their stocks.

Therefore, a good trader would also be a good psychologist. The person had to fully understand the mentality of each individual investor to be able to excel.

After all, small investors were akin to sheep as they have the strongest herd mentality. Once they find out that their stocks are falling, they would panic and sell their stocks, causing the stock price to fall. It was a skill to be able to cash out their stock with the lowest risk of making a loss. Mr. Niu was obviously one of the best in this industry. On one hand, he would sell a large amount of shares that he had while using the smallest amount of money to raise the share price of another stock on the other hand. Thus, on this day, Zhang Bang Science and Technology's shares kept fluctuating like an electrocardiogram.

However, if the veteren shareholders checked the funds, they would realize that the net outflows had reached 120 million in just one day.

In other words, while Zhang Bang Science and Technology's stock price was fluctuating, the main manipulator had quietly sold 120 million shares to individual investors.

What was even scarier was that even though Mr. Niu had sold off a lot of his stocks, Zhang Bang Science and Technology was still at its highest daily limit…

The newbies in the stock market and a bunch of freshies were all cheering that they had bought a stock that had gone up to its limit. However, some of the veterans felt that something was wrong.

It was like the calm before the storm…

However, because the stock price had indeed risen to its limit, they could only persuade themselves that they might have been overthinking. ‘It must be my imagination, it'll all be fine once I sell it off next Monday.'

Su Yang, on the other hand, had already sold off all his stocks thanks to Mr. Niu constantly trying to pull up the price of the stock. On that day, every time Mr. Niu pulled up the price of the stock to its daily limit, Su Yang would sell off his stock with the help of Little Deeny. ‘He will not sell off anything unless the price reaches its highest limit.

‘Have I made an error in my judgement?

“Thankfully, he has too little funds, a few million yuan is nothing in the face of a capital worth hundreds of millions, so it won't affect the growth of Zhang Bang Science and Technology.

When it was 3pm, Su Yang checked his account. All the stocks in his account had been sold, and the capital he had was 9.73 million yuan!

Su Yang only had one thought in his mind. ‘I'm rich! I'm rich!

‘I've earned close to 5 million yuan in just half a month!

The stock market is indeed a battlefield filled with money!'

He called out the system, wanting to take a look at his silver quest. However, he was shocked when he saw it.

[Silver Mission: Building Foundation.] Mission Objective: Earn 10 million yuan.

Deadline: Two months. Mission Completion Status: (5130000 / 10000000)

‘I've already made more than five million yuan unknowingly. The mission is already half completed.

‘From the looks of it now, even if the movie ends up being average, I could still use the popularity of the FindMe app to make the box office exceed 10 million yuan or more. That way, the Silver quest could still be completed!' At the thought of this, Su Yang felt much more relaxed.

‘For the success of the silver mission!'

After the stock market closed, Su Yang had a lot more time on his hands. He had returned to Shanghai for a week and did not do anything else other than playing with stocks.

‘Now that I'm done with the stock market, it's time for me to get down to business.'

He outlined his plans. ‘I have three important things to do now. Firstly, it's almost the middle of the month again, (The Burning Circus) is about to begin its show again. Last time, I had only experienced it briefly before I had to leave. I didn't even get to get a clear experience on what its functions were.

‘This time, I must experience it no matter what. I want to see if anything magical will happen.

‘Secondly, the cooldown time for (Lucky Disfiguring Brick] will end next week coincidentally. I should be able to incorporate it with the recommendations of iQIYI and FindMe to see if I could further promote “Fighting The Buddha”.

‘The completion of the silver mission rides on this.

‘Finally, the third and most important thing I have to do this week is to create the recipe for the special item which has not been completed yet. It's Friday today, I've earned the money I need and I've got some spare time to kill.

“The previous recipe for the item (Danger Detecting Chopsticks] has saved my life. Plus Little Hus's new ability that allowed me to determine the exact time of a stock's rise and fall, earning me five million yuan in one go. Everything that has happened to me recently is making me look forward to the special item for this week.

‘It's like the saying goes. Success is like a landslide, no… a snowball effect! Once it gets rolling, it'll continue to grow bigger and faster! ‘Therefore, I should still be able to obtain a good special item this time.'

With that thought in mind, he opened the system shop.

The items from the system shop entered his sight.

(Random Point] x 3

(Guardian Talisman) x 1

(Second Hand Guitar of Unknown Abilities]*1

After looking through the recipe list, Su Yang had an indescribable feeling. ‘A guitar's fine, but why does it have to be second hand?

‘Why did they add such an annotation?

‘Wouldn't it be better to just give a brand new guitar?'

Su Yang was a little troubled.

‘Furthermore, why does this special item look so useless? Just looking at the item's name gives me the impression that the item's going to be weak. Am I going to sacrifice a Little Monster Bean in vain?'

At that thought, Su Yang clicked on the list of recipes for this second-hand guitar. ‘Let's see what kind of ingredients I would need this time.'

To his surprise, he realized that the recipe did not require any +1 items!

Su Yang was stunned.

‘Although not all expensive items are good, this special item hasn't even got a single “point”. Could there really be any amazing abilities for this item?'

Su Yang remained suspicious.

‘However, I'm willing to spend some time and effort on it since I don't have to tribute any special items or anything related to it anyway.

‘This is an obvious win for me!'

With that thought in mind, he packed up and left the house to do some shopping.

It was 3pm when the stock market closed. By the time Su Yang left the house, it was almost 4pm. He left the neighborhood and walked toward the supermarket. When he reached the neighborhood where Xu Lu lived, she happened to be out in her neighborhood as well.

‘She's wearing a black tank top and a pair of hot pants. She looks very… cool. It's a beautiful scene in the hot summer.'

She was obviously in a good mood today. When Su Yang saw her, she was humming a song as she walked out.

When she saw Su Yang, her eyes lit up and she greeted him happily. “Su Yang, what a coincidence!”

Su Yang (Heaven's Eyes) told him that Xu Lu was telling the truth. ‘It seems like she has truly just bumped into me by coincidence.' Su Yang smiled and replied, “What a coincidence, Xu Lu. What's the occasion today? You seem to be very happy.” Xu Lu nodded, her exotic face full of smiles. “Yes. Because I listened to you and bought the stock, I've just earned 13%.”

‘13%, not bad.'

He said, “That's good. I'm glad I was able to be of help to you.”

Xu Lu walked up to Su Yang and placed her hand on his arm very naturally. She then looked up at Su Yang, her eyes filled with charm. “My dear Su Yang, please continue to guide me from now on.”

Su Yang felt a little awkward at the sudden close contact with Xu Lu.

Actually, he was not a playboy and was very serious about his relationships.

Even though he felt like there were many girls revolving around him, he did not play around with their feelings or even be in multiple relationships with them.

Other than Chu Xia and Lin Jia li whom he had taken the initiative to contact and socialise with. He had rejected the other girls several times.

“These girls are quite persistent.

‘You can't blame me for this, right?

‘Furthermore, I'm single and do not have a girlfriend. I have only known these girls for two months, it's not like I've known them for many years. I can't possibly be a playboy just because I hesitated, right?

‘After all, I really do want to find someone suitable, someone I can get along with and be together forever…'

Sensing the softness of Xu Lu's body and the faint fragrance of her body, Su Yang smiled awkwardly. Then, he looked around and patted Xu Lu's hand lightly. “Xu… Xu Lu, we're in the middle of the road, we should be mindful of ourselves.” Xu Lu smiled charmingly and said deliberately, “I can't get enough of your innocent look Su Yang, do you know that?”

Su Yang was puzzled.

‘Have I mixed up the roles?'

‘Why does she sound like a jerk teasing an innocent woman?

‘Shouldn't I be the jerk? How have I become an innocent woman instead?'

Su Yang coughed and removed Xu Lu's hand from his arm. “Surely you jest.”

When Xu Lu saw that Su Yang did not seem to like that kind of contact, she smiled secretly. She did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. She only felt that the “ambiguous relationship” they had at that moment was perfect.

She did not insist but asked, “Where are you headed now Su Yang?”.

Su Yang hesitated before saying, “I-I… need to buy something.”

Initially, he thought that Xu Lu would take the chance to say that they should go together. After all, that was what Xu Lu had done last time. However, he did not expect Xu Lu to just nod and say, “I see. I'm going there for a jog, I'll get out of your way now.”

Xu Lu pointed in the opposite direction as she said that.

Su Yang was speechless ‘Didn't she say that she could jog anywhere, hence she had followed me the last time?

‘However, she's going to run in the opposite direction this time? Isn't this too big of a change?'

For a moment, perhaps because of the different treatment received, his heart felt empty.

However, he was not an unreasonable person. He quickly suppressed his emotions and said goodbye to Xu Lu with a smile.

Looking at Su Yang's back view as he left, Xu Lu revealed a sly smile.

In fact, Su Yang really did not have Xu Lu in his mind. However, the contrasting treatment had indeed deepened Xu Lu's impression in his heart. However, he soon forgot about this matter. After all, the most important thing at that moment was to make the recipe!
