My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 298 You did a great job suppressing it!
On the Celestial Planet, the tools for short selling in the Celestial Realm stock industry are far more abundant than on Earth, and their composition is also quite different.

This time, Xiao Zi chose to put options on a betting basis.

Simply put, it's betting on the extent of a stock's decline, starting with a 60% drop and going up to a 99% drop. The greater the drop you bet on, the greater your potential profit.

If it drops by 99%, you can only get a profit of up to 4 times your initial investment!

Although the return leverage is not high, the conditions for purchasing this product are also not high. It supports purchases without any threshold or anonymous purchase, and most importantly, it is available for sale!

Many leverage tools are not available for purchase at will; it depends on luck. In particular, due to the recent large market fluctuations in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock, many short-selling tools have long been discontinued, making them unavailable even if you want to buy them.

So Xiao Zi ended up buying a trillion-dollar put option.

Before Taibai Jinxing started posting his essay, the stock price of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group was 2751.4. After posting his essay, it plummeted to 450 in a short period of time, with the stock value dropping by more than 83%, and the leverage ratio for betting increased to more than 2.3 times.

As a result, Xiao Zi's betting put option also surged to around 2.3 trillion.

Although this still couldn't cover Li Wei's losses, it at least allowed Li Wei to recover a significant amount of money!

Most importantly, Li Wei still has stock positions, so if Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock rises again in the future, he can still make back his losses!

Li Wei then immediately recalled the magic limb techniques of the Bewitching Forbidden Land.

Although he hasn't obtained the technology yet, don't forget that there are still millions of cultivators' souls in his Cleansing Life Sect's Little Hell. Once these people are awakened, discovering the technology is only a matter of time.

"From this perspective, the sharp drop in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock price is actually an opportunity!!"

At its peak, Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical was valued at over 160 trillion yuan, but after these successive blows, both its assets and stock price have shrunk significantly, with its value reduced to about one-tenth of its original value.

Li Wei has more than seven trillion yuan in cash on hand, which gives him the qualifications to acquire more shares.

Li Wei was immediately moved by this thought, and an endless ambition ignited in his veins.

"Isn't Venus just trying to suppress me?"

"If I use this as leverage, I might be able to scare the powerful figures behind Zhongzhou Pharmaceuticals into backing down! If things go well, I might even be able to seize control of the Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group!"

"When that time comes, I will announce the limb technology under the name of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, and the medical device market will inevitably skyrocket."

This warlord is truly a good person!
Even Li Wei almost burst out laughing at this moment. He barely managed to suppress the joy in his heart and glared at Taibai Jinxing with even more "anger" than before.

Seeing this, Venus became even more certain that Li Wei had suffered heavy losses, so he left quite satisfied, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

With the gods no longer present, the atmosphere in the airport visibly relaxed.

Li Wei also began preparing to leave.

As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

Although Venus struck at Li Wei's Achilles' heel this time, causing his assets to shrink, Venus was unaware that Li Wei had borrowed five trillion in anonymous loans from Fatian Hunyou through the dark web, and therefore could not have imagined that Li Wei still had the ability to turn the tide.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost; He might end up doing all the work for Li Wei!
Little Purple was also very excited: "Master, now that Taibai Jinxing is no longer watching me, I can go to the pig slaughtering park to take up my post!"

She didn't go at first because she had to wait for the Heavenly Alliance to rebuild the entry repository. Later, because Li Wei was being hunted down, Xiao Zi had to expose her existence and report the world of the Bewitching Forbidden Land to the Heavenly Court, which attracted the attention of Taibai Jinxing.

A series of things have dragged on until now, which is really too long.

Xiao Zi should have taken office long ago!
"Well, you've been with Venus for so long, you might have been branded by Him, so you must have the Great Sage examine you carefully before you go!"

"Understood, then I'll be going, Master!"

Venus hasn't gone far yet, and no one else dares to look over, so this is undoubtedly the best time to leave.
Xiao Zi reluctantly nuzzled Li Wei's dantian before activating the effect of the "Great Thief's Secrets" entry: Hidden Law Severing Cause. She silently disappeared from the spot and went to find an internet cafe to establish a medium for communicating on the dark web.

Now that all the network cables on Li Wei and Xiao Zi have disappeared, they can only use the most primitive method to communicate with the dark web.

However, because his cultivation level was too low, Li Wei was still not entirely at ease, so he specifically asked the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system to send Xiao Zi away.

As for himself,
They boarded the dedicated teleportation channel from Zhongzhou Airport directly to Leibu and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After he left, Zhongzhou Airport finally "woke up" completely. The previously suspended flights started running again, and the cultivators waiting for their flights were finally able to move around freely.

The fastest-reacting cultivators had already run to where Taibai Jinxing and Li Wei were talking, scrambling for the unwanted teacups, tables, chairs, and benches.

Those who are slow to react can only quickly post something on their WeChat Moments to try and absorb some of the auspicious energy.

Thus, news of Li Wei's meeting with Venus, which ended in discord, began to spread far and wide, attracting the attention of many.

In the office of the deputy minister of the Central Plains Thunder Department.

The Fairy Miaodan, who had met Li Wei once before, couldn't help but sneer inwardly at the thought of Li Wei's imminent arrival at his new post. "I was going to find you in Xinhai City, but I didn't expect you to come to Zhongzhou yourself. Good! Well done! This time, I'll definitely make you my mount!"

She hasn't given up on this yet!
However, when Kong Miaodan thought about the Heavenly Emperor's appointment, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

"He only went to Sirius City to rescue a few people. Was it really necessary for His Majesty to make an exception and promote him? Moreover, even Lord Taibai Jinxing went to see him personally. Is there some secret about this kid that I don't know about?"

In order to conceal the matter of the Cleansing Life Orthodox Cult's small system, the Heavenly Court had already specially set up "sensitive words" and "gag-off memes".

The moment anyone speaks of Li Wei's secret in any language or written form, the Heavenly Dao will sense it and immediately invade the mind of the person who knows the truth, erasing all related memories.

Therefore, even a top-tier descendant of divine blood like Kong Miaodan did not know the real reason why Li Wei was promoted this time, and could only see the one-sided reason given by the Heavenly Court.

at this time,

Suddenly, news came from the outside world that the meeting between Li Wei and Venus ended badly.

Kong Miaodan was initially overjoyed, but then she realized something was wrong, and her expression became increasingly serious:
"A mere mortal actually dared to sit in front of Lord Taibai Jinxing, and even survived after falling out with Him. Is there really such great power behind this dead mount?"

"Looks like I need to be more vigilant!"

Didi! !
Drip!

The crisp sound of a cell phone alarm suddenly rang out—"Grandpa's calling! Grandpa's calling! Answer it quickly, answer it quickly!"
Kong Miaodan quickly picked up her phone and answered the call immediately.

"Ancestor! You were looking for me?"

"Hmm, is a cultivator named Li Wei from your Central Continent Thunder Clan coming over next?"

Kong Miaodan was surprised that Li Wei's name had reached her ancestor's ears. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief and asked with some doubt, "How did you know?"

[Remember this, this person is very important to our Peacock Clan, so you must do everything in your power to gain his favor, develop a friendship with him, and uncover the secrets of the laws governing him!]

Kong Miaodan was dumbfounded.

Doesn't the old ancestor know that she and Li Wei are enemies?

That makes sense. The Ancestor travels to the heavens for many years, serving as the most important information channel between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. So it's normal that he's so busy that he wouldn't know.

However, this caused Kong Miaodan a lot of trouble.

The ancestor has given her an impossible task!

However, as a member of the clan, she has come this far because of her bloodline and the support of her family. Now that the ancestor has personally requested it, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"My granddaughter will definitely complete the mission!"

"Alright! I trust you with the affairs of the mortal realm, and you will never let me down, will you?"

"Of course!"

After hanging up the phone, Kong Miaodan slumped weakly in her seat, her long, slender neck resting limply on the cushion like a dead snake, looking rather listless.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the one being flattered, but she has never flattered anyone. So she has no idea how ordinary people make friends, let alone the difficult task of turning enemies into friends.

After much thought, Kong Miaodan realized that she couldn't continue down this path of despair, so she quickly spent money to hire several teachers specializing in "interpersonal relationships" to give her lectures.

The teachers were also shocked when they saw Kong Miaodan's family background and status. Someone of her level would not need to attend classes to curry favor with others.
That only means that the person she's trying to please is of even higher status!

With that in mind, the teacher immediately started promoting his premium course – How to Be Friends with Kexiu.

"Fairy Kong, now I'll teach you your first lesson: the most important rule for making friends is to be willing to let the other person spend money on you!"

Kong Miaodan asked with some doubt, "Will this method really work?"

"Of course! Take you as an example. If you go out with your friends and they insist on paying the bill, wouldn't you think they're mocking you for being poor and questioning your wealth?"

This top-tier descendant of divine blood, who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, suddenly realized the truth.

As a top-tier divine bloodline, money is just worthless to her, but she absolutely cannot tolerate others questioning her financial resources; that's worse than insulting her parents.

So when she put herself in Li Wei's shoes and tried to understand his perspective, she naturally assumed that Li Wei also disliked others questioning his financial resources.

Kong Miaodan said with great regret, "So it seems the right to pay the bill from now on will have to be given to Li Wei."
