Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After accepting the reward of the system, Jiang Feng returned to the living room. His parents had been chatting with their many relatives for a long time. Jiang Feng had just heard them while he was in his room. Many people had come to borrow money, as some of their children wanted to get married and get betrothal gifts, and others needed a down payment to buy a house or the full amount to buy a car.
Also, their businesses had not been doing well recently, so they could not borrow some money and pay it back in two days. There were all kinds of excuses, and each of them used their relatives to pressure the old couple. Jiang Feng’s parents also tried their best to deal with them. When they were about to run out of ideas, Jiang Feng opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Jiang Feng come out, Yu Xiumin quickly turned her head and said, “Xiao Feng, look at you. You’ve been busy for so long, and your relatives are all here to see you. Why don’t you come here and talk to everyone?”
Yu Xiumin’s reaction was very quick, and she immediately changed the topic of the previous conversation. This caused the voices of many of her relatives to instantly become quieter. Many people turned their heads and continued to say what they thought Jiang Jianzhong and the others wanted to hear.
“I told you that Jiang Feng is promising. Look at how limited his time is. The company won’t leave him alone. If we need anything, we will have to look for him to ask for help!”
“Yeah, he is our family’s most capable child. I always thought that this child would achieve great things since he was young!”
However, Jiang Feng didn’t care for this fake flattery one bit. How could Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumin not know what their relatives were really like? They just didn’t want their relationship to become too awkward. After all, they were all a family brought up by the same old man. It wouldn’t be good to disturb the harmony.
Jiang Feng walked to the sofa and said without hesitation, “Mom, our company has a big project coming up. It will be a success for sure. I will invest the family’s money first.”
After saying that, he took his bank card out of Yu Xiumin’s bag and left the house with it. Even though some people behind him tried to stop him, saying that he had to be cautious about investing and discuss it with the family first, they were unable to make Jiang Feng stop.
As he left with the money, many of his relatives knew that there was no hope of borrowing money this time. After a few simple words, they also left one after another. When they left Jiang Feng’s house, their originally amiable faces immediately changed, and they started cursing.
“He really ignored my good intentions. That son of a b*tch still wants to invest? What the f*ck is he doing!”
“I was about to borrow 300,000 yuan! I was so close! I’m so angry!”
“Look at Jianzhong. He’s still a coward despite having so much money. He’ll be like that for the rest of his life!”
“Hahaha, his legs were injured from work back in the day. Now, he can’t even walk properly. If he walks with a limp, I’ll laugh myself to death!”
Jiang Feng didn’t know any of this. At that moment, he had already taken the money from his family and gone downstairs to a cafe by the street.
“Sir, here’s the coffee you ordered. Enjoy.”
Jiang Feng took the freshly-brewed coffee from the waiter and opened the Bitcoin trading center where he had just registered. Just as the call ended, a new person arrived at Jiang Feng’s house. It was Jiang Feng’s girlfriend, Yu Jia. After hearing the news, she had immediately flown to Shanghai with her parents overnight to go to Jiang Feng’s house!
However, Jiang Feng wasn’t at home at the moment. After hearing from Jiang Feng’s mother that Jiang Feng had gone to work, she didn’t bother him. Instead, she started coming up with her own plan to please him.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was holding his phone and looking at the current Bitcoin market. The current price of bitcoin was 65,000 dollars, but it was soon 420,000 dollars, and the information kept changing. The price of Bitcoin continued to rise, and it looked like it was going to reach a new high! But in Jiang Feng’s mind, that was not the case.
The information of the system appeared in his mind at that moment. Tomorrow, Bitcoin would experience a historic mega-crash! It was unavoidable. According to the information of the system, right before the market closed today, the famous financial entrepreneur Semak would polish all of his Bitcoin holdings, which amounted to a total of 200 billion!
He would also publish this news on social media platforms ten seconds before the market closed. This news would make all Bitcoin holders panic and cause a chain reaction. When the market opened tomorrow, countless people would scramble to sell their holdings. This would cause the price of Bitcoin to plummet! As long as Jiang Feng sold all his Bitcoin before the market closed today, he would be able to earn ten times more tomorrow!
As he looked at the system’s information, Jiang Feng was a little uncertain. After all, the system said it was easy, but he was holding the entire family’s wealth in his hands! He looked at the time, and there was still an hour before the market would close. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng still chose to use his bank card. He set the payment page to 10 million and arranged to short Bitcoin by 50% the next day!
Then, he opened the home page of Semak and waited for the message that the system was talking about! If Semak really posted this message, then Jiang Feng would not hesitate to pay. Ten seconds was not enough for others to complete such a complicated operation. But for him, a man who was prepared, it was enough! After all, he knew that if such a bigshot sold his Bitcoin, then countless people would follow his lead. No one wanted to be the last lamb to be slaughtered. If Semak didn’t post this message, Jiang Feng wouldn’t trust the system. He would never risk the hopes of his entire family by taking such a big gamble!
After making preparations, Jiang Feng stared at his phone, waiting for the message to appear. Even though the coffee in front of him was already cold, he didn’t notice it at all. Finally, an hour passed. Jiang Feng waited for the text message, his fingers moving rapidly.
The payment was completed in ten seconds! As he counted down the seconds before the market closed, Jiang Feng’s eyes glinted with a trace of a smile. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing the name of his good friend Shen Wen, Jiang Feng clicked to accept the call.
“Brother Feng, you are awesome! I didn’t expect your family to demolish the house. I’m rich now.” As soon as the call was picked up, Shen Wen’s familiar voice was heard.
Before Jiang Feng could say anything, Shen Wen spoke again. “Brother Feng, come to Jiangnan Imperial Kitchen in a while to have a drink. Let’s see who can drink the most! Hahaha!”
“Sure, I’ll come over in a while.”
When he heard his words, Jiang Feng, who had originally wanted to go home, agreed with a smile. It was a rare chance for him. He had wanted to get together with his good friend for a long time. Besides, he was free now, so he could go over and have a drink! After saying that, the two of them chatted briefly for a while before hanging up. Jiang Feng went out to get a taxi and immediately rushed to the Jiangnan Imperial Kitchen.
...
An hour later, he arrived at the restaurant. Shen Wen had already gotten a private room and was waiting there. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other in a while, or perhaps it was because Jiang Feng was happy that he had money, but the two of them began to drink non stop.
They kept drinking until ten o’clock in the evening, for a full five to six hours. They drank until the sky was dark, until they drank to their hearts’ content. The two of them also chatted a lot. They talked about the embarrassing things they had gone through in school, the hardships at work, and the wonderful vision of starting a business together.
Jiang Feng was drunk, but happily drunk at that. Shen Wen got a room for him at a nearby hotel, threw him on the bed, and let him sleep soundly. Then, he drove his big car back to his own home.
...
Jiang Feng, who was so drunk that he had lost consciousness, woke up at noon the next day. It was the system voice in his mind that woke him up!
[Ding! The Bitcoin mission has been completed. The system has automatically helped you sell it. Divine-Grade Choice System activated.]
[Choice 1: Flaunt your wealth in a high-profile manner. Let everyone know that you’ve earned 100 million!]
[Reward: A bowl of hangover soup!]
[Choice 2: Keep a low profile and hide. Post on WeChat that you’ve gone bankrupt and enjoy life!]
[Reward: Super-Prediction Card!]
...
Upon hearing the system’s voice, Jiang Feng got out of bed. After being stunned for a long time, he finally reacted. Looking at the system’s two options in front of him, Jiang Feng smiled. Although he indeed needed a bowl of hangover soup right now, compared to the hangover soup, the Super-Prediction Card was obviously more attractive!
‘Choice 2!’ Jiang Feng thought.
The system immediately responded.
“Ding! Congratulations on successfully choosing the second option. You have acquired the Super-Prediction Card! Please complete the mission as soon as possible and experience the cold and warm side of life!”
As the system spoke, a golden card immediately appeared in Jiang Feng’s mind. A few seconds later, the card disappeared. Jiang Feng knew that it had been stored in the system space. Next, it was time to post a WeChat moment! Jiang Feng patted his head and picked up the phone resting next to his pillow!
