Chapter 188 Explosive Increase in Assets
A long corridor with doors on both sides. Although the air purification, circulation, and dehumidification equipment are always in operation, there still seems to be a cold and damp smell in the air.
The place is brightly lit and looks like it is in a modern building. But many details show that this is not a building, but underground.
A group of people walked out of an elevator somewhere next to the corridor and walked towards the corridor in silence.
Like the others, Wang Long had no intention of talking at the moment. Next to him, Lu Wenxue, Wen Yancheng, Li Hui, Li Yutian and others, who had just met and whose names they had just learned, also remained silent.
No matter how mentally tough a person is, if they are suddenly separated from human society and come to this secret base hidden deep underground in an unknown corner of the earth, with their future fate uncertain, they will not have any thoughts to talk and laugh.
After looking at the ID bracelet that had just been issued by a person in charge on his wrist, he looked at the numbers on it and compared them to find his room. Wang Long opened the door and walked in.
What comes into view is a small but well-equipped room. Single beds, desks, lamps, air conditioners, washrooms, toilets, etc. are all available.
In addition to these things, there is actually a computer.
He came to the computer, opened it, and found that the computer could even connect to the outside world's Internet.
This is somewhat unexpected.
But he soon discovered that although this computer could connect to the Internet, it could only perform some basic operations, and any operations that might lead to leaks were restricted. For example, speaking on the Internet, logging into certain accounts, software, etc., any operation that may lead to leakage of secrets is prohibited.
Not only was he not dissatisfied with this, but he was relieved.
"This is only reasonable. If someone can leak the secret casually, then the level of this base is too low."
After casually browsing some things and searching for himself, he found that his disappearance had not caused any ripples on the Internet, and he turned off the computer.
"Let's rest first."
He casually took off his shirt and hung it on the hanger, then lay down on the single bed.
Thinking back on the past experience, it still feels like a dream.
Yesterday, I was still enjoying the prosperity of the city and my social status as a chief engineer of a power plant. Today, it has burrowed into the ground like a mouse.
"The end of the world, the end of the world..."
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, while these four words kept spinning in his mind uncontrollably.
"Could it be true?"
he asked himself.
"It must be true, it must be true... The Son of God can predict earthquakes, and the end of the world must be true. Besides, I have also left a way out."
There is no way to fake the end of the world. When the scheduled time comes, if you have it, you have it, and if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. If by that time, the end of the world has not come, I will probably go back to the human world.
Would I not know about that stupid woman Zhang Xue peeking into my diary?
snort.
Those diaries are written specifically for you.
Wang Long still remembered that day a few months ago, when he accepted an invitation from a supplier and went to a tourist resort for four days. He spent every day drinking and drinking, and was accompanied by a beautiful girl every day. The figure, that skin, that face, tsk tsk...
The days I lived in those days were simply heaven.
But after returning home, Zhang Xue, that stupid woman, was more considerate to her than before. Not only did he serve her carefully, he even scolded her a few times without daring to say anything back.
Why?
Isn't it because a few days before I left, I wrote in my diary, "This business trip will be very tiring, but for the sake of my beloved wife and children, I must hold on" and "I won't be able to see my wife for several days. I will miss her very much", "Oh, this business trip is just to serve people, Wang Long, you have to remember that even if you are scolded, you must hold back and not mess things up" and the like?
With just a few tricks on his part, he could make that stupid woman give up.
Huh, if it wasn't for your father's sake, I would have kicked you.
This time, there will definitely be no problem. As long as he can go out and return to the human world, the stupid woman will definitely continue to serve him like an emperor.
The only question is...will I be able to leave this secret base smoothly by then?
"In the next period of time, there are two things I need to do. First, try to find out the reality of this Ark base. While increasing my understanding of the base, I will try to confirm in advance whether the end will come.
Second, build a good relationship with these fellow travelers and become their ‘leader’ as much as possible. In this way, even if the end of the world really comes, I will have a higher status than others in the future doomsday world. And if the doomsday does not come, they will also need help in escaping from the Ark base. "
You must be prepared with both hands. Moreover, both hands must be prepared and grasped hard.
"The person in charge who received us said that he will take us to visit the base tomorrow. After we have a certain understanding of the base, a welcome meeting will be held. Only then will the Son of God show up. Well, we must seize this opportunity. "
After tossing and turning for a long time, Wang Long finally fell asleep. The next day, at only five or six o'clock in the morning, he had already woken up.
After washing up, I opened the door and saw that there were already many people in the cafeteria at the corner of the corridor. Some people are eating, while others have finished eating and are resting in the rest area, chatting about something.
There were some service personnel belonging to the base standing everywhere with slightly stiff smiles on their faces.
"The people in this base look a little strange... they don't look like normal people."
It's a vague feeling. I discovered this when I first arrived at the base yesterday.
Whether it was the person in charge, the service staff, or some people who claimed to have come here in advance, Wang Long felt different from normal people.
But he couldn't tell exactly what was different.
He always had a feeling that those people were a bit like NPCs in the game. They don't look like real people, but like they were specially created for certain tasks.
"Maybe I'm too sensitive."
Shaking his head and temporarily suppressing his doubts, Wang Long also walked towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is a more suitable place for socializing. If you want to rely on the power of these people in the future, you can't miss this opportunity.
However, after a night's rest, the fellow travelers seemed to have recovered a lot, and they no longer looked like they had no intention of communicating with others as they did yesterday.
During some chatting and laughing, Wang Long quickly became familiar with several people.
This is a good start.
After most people had finished eating, the person in charge who greeted people yesterday came again.
"The Ark Base will be our shelter for at least a few years in the future. To survive here for a long time, and to better transform the outside world in the future, it is necessary for everyone to know something about our base first. Next, it will be up to me Let’s take everyone on a tour.”
"Everyone, please follow me."
A team of more than a hundred people in total walked in a certain direction under the leadership of this person in charge.
"This is the main control room of our Ark base. Here, you can control the operation of each module of the entire base. Here is an introduction to the history of our Ark base.
The Son of God awakened 36 years ago, communicated with the gods, and gained the ability to predict the future. At that time, the Son of God was just 16 years old and not yet a minor.
He predicted that 36 years from now, the earth will be hit by an asteroid and human civilization will perish. In order to continue civilization, he started planning 36 years ago.
Although the gods gave the Son of God the ability to predict the future, they did not give him any more help. How to save civilization with only the power of prophecy is a test given by the gods to the Son of God.
It takes a lot of money to build an ark base and avoid the end of the world. The Son of God first had to solve the money problem. Does anyone know where his first pot of gold came from? "
The person in charge explained passionately.
"Yes, that's right, someone has guessed it right. It's a lottery ticket!"
The person in charge pointed to a portrait. In the portrait, there is a young man who is wearing a hood and cannot see his face. He is wearing long clothes and long trousers. His physical features cannot be clearly seen, but he can clearly see that his body is relatively thin. He is not very old. He is holding a symbol in his hand. A plaque with a prize of 13 million was taken with the person in charge of the lottery.
Wang Long was suddenly shocked.
He is 42 years old this year. 36 years ago, he was just 6 years old.
This incident happened when he was 6 years old.
He couldn't remember much about what happened at that time, but there was one thing that people kept talking about until he was in his teens and in elementary school and junior high school.
This led to him still remembering it now.
"The grand prize with the largest prize in the history of this city's lottery, a total amount of 26 million, was divided between two winners, each winning 13 million."
This kind of thing immediately ignited public opinion in the small town. Although both of them covered up when receiving the award, one of them was still exposed soon after.
That's an old lottery player. After winning the lottery, he moved out of the city overnight.
But the other grand prize winner, from the photo of receiving the award, can only be seen to be young. As for who it is, people have been digging for more than half a year and have not finally confirmed it.
The power of the masses is always extremely huge in such matters. But even so, they could not be excavated.
Until several years later, many people were still speculating and discussing who took away the grand prize.
When I was a child, my parents also discussed this matter when chatting with others.
And now, in the photo, the award amount of Shenzi is also 13 million. Moreover, he is obviously not very old.
Could it be that... the other grand prize winner, whose identity was never clearly identified, turned out to be... the Son of God?
The Son of God and himself belong to the same city?
"Thirteen million is not a small amount of money. But compared to Shenzi's plan, it is still too little. At the same time, because he has already won the jackpot once, and it will be easy to attract attention if he wins again, Shenzi did not buy any more lottery tickets.
The next step for the Son of God, does everyone know what he chose? "
"World Cup! Betting!"
someone shouted.
"Yes, that's right."
The person in charge had a smile on his face.
"Gambling is not a good habit. Everyone who gambles for a long time will lose all their wealth. But this is only for ordinary people. For the Son of God who can predict the future, the situation is naturally different.
You may still remember that in the World Cup final that year, a certain strong team that had high hopes of winning the championship unexpectedly lost by a score of 2 to 8. And Son of God had predicted this score before.
So, after deducting taxes, he dispersed more than 10 million human coins on hundreds of gambling platforms and sports betting platforms, and bought all of them for this score.
At that time, the odds of this score were 46 times.
After this battle, after deducting some necessary expenses, Shenzi went from an ordinary high school student whose total property was only ten yuan to master a huge wealth of more than 450 million human coins in one fell swoop! "
The words of the person in charge dazzled many listeners.
Although they have now separated from human society and human coins are meaningless to them, the experience of such a rapid increase in wealth still makes people's hearts full of enthusiasm.
A 16-year-old high school student, in a short period of time, had such a huge amount of wealth in his hands!
"Next step, the Son of God will invest all the huge wealth in his hands into the virtual currency market..."
Decades ago, it was the time when the virtual currency market was booming, with skyrocketing rises and plummets, harvesting the wealth of countless people, bankrupting countless people, and making a few people rich overnight.
At that time, the total market value of the virtual currency market exceeded 10 trillion human coins. A mere 450 million human currency will not make waves at all and will not have any impact on the overall trend.
However, if you can know the market trend in advance and know the high and low points of a certain virtual currency, you will undoubtedly have the magic weapon to increase your wealth.
"In just two months, the wealth in the hands of the Son of God once again increased by 20 times, reaching a huge amount of 9 billion human coins. At this time, the Son of God was only 17 years old."
"After that, Shenzi went to college and had a wider space for development. He established an investment company, and also relied on his ability to predict the future, investing in several tracks that will be very popular in the future..."
When Wang Long mentioned this matter, he immediately thought of certain industries that were extremely popular, attracting much attention, and strongly supported by the government when he was still in school.
Supercomputing, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, metaverse...
"After four years of college, the total price of the shares invested by Shenzi's investment company has soared more than 20 times. At this moment, the wealth in Shenzi's hands has reached more than 180 billion. Shenzi's investment company has also become an industry legend."
Wang Long was shocked.
He remembered someone.
Tang Yun.
He is the helmsman of Shengtang Capital. For decades, Shengtang Capital has been known for its accurate vision in the investment field.
This Tang Yun can be considered a fellow villager with him, both from Lihe City.
He is the pride of Lihe City and a legend in Lihe City.
A rough estimate shows that the total amount of funds he controls at the moment is as high as trillions of human coins.
Could it be that this Son of God is actually him, that is... Tang Yun?
