Luo Hua, My Younger Brother

"Why isn't Three Axe Mountain there?" Lei Shen asked abruptly. Luo Feng paused. Right, there were five voices calling out: Hundred Tiger Tower, North Dragon City, Black Cloud Society, the Holy Land 'Heilong Mountain', and the Holy Land 'Ice Sea Divine Kingdom'. But Three Axe Mountain wasn't among them. "Let's ask He Ruo," Hong said. "Mm." Lei Shen nodded. "Nanhe, Aogu, you two help guard," Luo Feng said. Immediately, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all closed their eyes, their consciousness entering the Virtual Universe Network. ... Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay Community. "Crazy, crazy, crazy." Luo Hua frantically ruffled his hair, looking very conflicted. He, Luo Hongguo, and Gong Xinlan were all sitting together around a round table, drinking tea in their garden. "Xiao Hua, what are you thinking about that's making you so troubled?" Luo Hongguo asked with a smile, holding his teacup. "How can this be wrong? No, it's wrong. It should have surged. The volume relationship, the capital flow in other investment markets, and the momentum definitely indicated movement. It should have been either a huge drop or a huge surge, not this stagnant pool." Luo Hua was in agony. "Over in the Donghua Starfield, I need to quickly pour more money in. How could this happen, how could this happen! The speed isn't keeping up, it's not keeping up!" "What are you talking about, Xiao Hua?" Gong Xinlan asked with a smile. "The capital utilization rate is off," Luo Hua looked up at Gong Xinlan. "Mom, please don't interrupt, I'm thinking." "Tsk tsk, on Earth, weren't you a financial wizard, calling the shots? What happened now? You were so confident at dinner last night," Gong Xinlan teased. "It's different." Luo Hua shook his head. "Any operation must first establish its own operating system. The financial investment operations on Earth are vastly different from those in the cosmos. It's like the difference between a two-dimensional world and a three-dimensional world. And in the Virtual Universe, I can invest in many places, such as the Heilong Mountain Starfield, and the Donghua Starfield, and even other Cosmic Nations." "Perhaps, some super powerhouses battling it out could cause a corporation to collapse." "So, investing is very complex, and changes happen incredibly fast!" "It's like on Earth's stock market, a super bull market only happens once every ten years! But it's different in the cosmos. Different Cosmic Nations have different economic situations; some are religious states, some are empires. If the financial market on Earth is a gentle stream, the cosmic financial market is a sea with a Category 12 typhoon!" "It's full of danger, but also full of opportunities!" "The skilled can multiply their capital a thousandfold in ten days to half a month!" "Similarly, even an expert, once targeted, could be wiped out in an instant." Luo Hua shook his head. "Right now, I'm just a small fry with small capital, just following behind others." "You call that small capital?" Luo Hongguo's eyes widened. "Didn't you say your principal multiplied tenfold in the past few months?" "Only tenfold in a few months, that's very average," Luo Hua shook his head. "The cosmic financial market changes extremely fast, hundreds or thousands of times faster than Earth's market! And a hundred or a thousand times more dangerous! I'm ensuring 'principal safety', which is why it only multiplied tenfold in a few months. But from yesterday to today, I lost 30%, a loss of nearly 2 billion Ganwu Coins." "What?!" Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan's eyes widened. 2 billion Ganwu Coins! Luo Feng once gave Luo Hua 500 million Ganwu Coins, which Luo Hua had leveraged to nearly 10 billion Ganwu Coins at its peak. "Don't worry, I'm considered quite stable," Luo Hua shook his head, then grinned at his parents. "But honestly, Mom and Dad, I feel like the cosmic financial market is truly interesting. It's magnificent and makes you feel like you're riding the waves, it's exhilarating!" "You're exhilarated, but 2 billion Ganwu Coins are gone! Your brother only spent 2.1 billion Ganwu Coins to buy Earth," Luo Hongguo clearly felt a bit stifled. He was stifled by the number 2 billion Ganwu Coins. "2 billion Ganwu Coins is nothing." Luo Hua shook his head and smiled. "Mom and Dad, you need to broaden your horizons! In the cosmic financial market, some super oligarchs even control the rise and fall of a medium-sized Cosmic Nation; their wealth is astronomical. Some cosmic super powerhouses are also involved. The waters here are very deep." "I'm just a small fry. The minimum threshold for this kind of inter-Cosmic Nation financial investment market is a principal of 100 million Ganwu Coins. If my brother hadn't given me a sum of money, I probably would only be able to operate within my own Cosmic Nation, unable to participate in many investment markets." Suddenly— Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen appeared in the gardens in front of the three houses. Their three families' homes were built on the same plot of land. "What's this about a minimum threshold of 100 million Ganwu Coins?" Luo Feng walked over. "Brother," Luo Hua quickly stood up. "I just ran into a bit of trouble and lost some money." "How much did you lose?" Luo Feng casually sat down, picked up a teacup, and started drinking. Currently, in the Realm-within-a-Realm, various organizations were recruiting people, so Luo Feng wasn't in too much of a hurry. "About 2 billion Ganwu Coins," Luo Hua said. "Pfft!" A mouthful of tea was directly sprayed out, drenching Luo Hua. "Brother—" Luo Hua looked at Luo Feng helplessly. "How much did you say? 2 billion Ganwu Coins?" Luo Feng's eyes widened. Damn it, he had to consider prices when buying metals, and the first sum he received from his teacher was only 10 billion Ganwu Coins. After buying Earth, a spaceship, slaves, a planetary defense system, and giving a sum to his younger brother, Hong, and Lei Shen, his current funds were less than 5 billion Ganwu Coins. Of course, he had made a fortune in the Realm-within-a-Realm. "Brother, don't make such a fuss, okay?" Luo Hua quickly said. "I still have over 3 billion in principal." "Over 3 billion Ganwu Coins? Are you sure it's Ganwu Coins?" Luo Feng's eyes widened. "Yes! Ganwu Coins!" Luo Hua nodded. "Damn!" Luo Feng's eyes widened, and at this moment, Hong and Lei Shen also walked over. Hong smiled, "Luo Feng, why aren't you contacting He Ruo? What are you talking about?" "My younger brother is playing in the cosmic financial investment market and lost 2 billion Ganwu Coins," Luo Feng said. Hong and Lei Shen were stunned. "And he still has over 3 billion in principal. I want to state beforehand that I only gave him 500 million Ganwu Coins." Hong and Lei Shen both stared at Luo Hua. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" Luo Hua was a bit bewildered. "It's quite normal, investment depends on the principal." "A principal of 100 million Ganwu Coins, multiplied fivefold, is 500 million Ganwu Coins." "But a principal of 10 billion Ganwu Coins, multiplied fivefold, is 50 billion Ganwu Coins," Luo Hua explained. "The larger the principal, naturally the greater the profit. Similarly... the losses can also be significant. What I need to do is minimize losses, or even reduce them. And maximize profits!" Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen exchanged glances. "Beep!" "Your account has received a transfer of 4 billion Ganwu Coins." A screen appeared in front of Luo Hua, displaying an email. Luo Hua was surprised. "Don't look, it's for you," Luo Feng said, looking at Luo Hua. "Brother, you're giving me so much?" Luo Hua quickly said. "I can't guarantee no losses. The cosmic financial investment changes very quickly. I can only guarantee... that the principal might lose up to 30%." Luo Hua and Luo Feng were blood brothers. Luo Hua was naturally intelligent, and having absorbed the essence of many investment masters' thoughts on Earth, he was definitely a financial wizard on Earth. Perhaps Earth's financial market was very naive compared to the cosmic financial market. But in terms of ideas. Many investment philosophies and ancient principles passed down on Earth were indeed unique. At least 'Luo Hua', who had only recently entered the cosmic financial investment market, quickly adapted and made gains. Occasional setbacks also allowed him to gain experience and refine his investment strategies. In Luo Hua's words, "Only through repeated failures and setbacks, constantly gaining experience, can one become stronger." "The cost of failures and setbacks must be controlled, be prepared for failure, and never be defeated by a single failure." "Only a 30% loss, just go for it," Luo Feng smiled. "This financial investment truly brings exponential profits, but the losses are also terrifying. However... my younger brother truly has a talent for this," Luo Feng thought to himself. "Hmm, in the future, 30% of the funds I earn will be transferred to my younger brother for investment. I believe this will allow my younger brother to go further and higher!" ... After talking with his younger brother, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen contacted He Ruo again. "Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, I'm so happy to see you three," He Ruo said excitedly on the screen. "Many people died terribly in the Realm-within-a-Realm, so many people died." "We're happy to see you too," Hong smiled. "He Ruo, are major organizations currently recruiting free adventurers?" Luo Feng asked. "Yes." He Ruo nodded. "Our North Dragon City, as well as Hundred Tiger Tower, Black Cloud Society, and the two great Holy Lands. All are recruiting free adventurers! To contend for treasures, the first thing you need is enough people!" "Three Axe Mountain isn't recruiting?" Lei Shen pressed. "Mm, Three Axe Mountain is different from the other three organizations. Three Axe Mountain is known as the leader of the four major organizations! They don't cultivate young people. The minimum threshold to join Three Axe Mountain is 'Cosmic Level'. Because they don't cultivate new recruits, there are only a few disciples of Three Axe Mountain powerhouses in this Realm-within-a-Realm, very few people, so they can't form a force." He Ruo explained. Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong suddenly understood. Since they don't cultivate young people, there were naturally very few people from the Three Axe Mountain faction participating in the probationary assessment. No wonder even 'Mingyu' sought them out. "So, it's mainly us five factions competing," He Ruo said with a smile. "Luo Feng, we've roughly confirmed the location of the treasure. But the five factions are mutually restraining each other, so they're desperately recruiting free adventurers. Luo Feng, you should join our North Dragon City, just temporarily for now." Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all a bit surprised. "You've confirmed the treasure's location?" Luo Feng and Lei Shen asked almost simultaneously. "Mm," He Ruo nodded. "There's a ninety percent chance the treasure is there. It's currently being watched by our five factions! If you don't join one of our five factions, you won't even have a chance to enter." "Oh?" Luo Feng and the other two nodded slightly, exchanging glances. They had already made a decision.
