38, Chapter 054

[Chapter 54, Financial Crisis 14-Strike Wave]

After moving the supplies, the four of them slept in the empty room on the third floor with their clothes on.

Although the rooms at the construction site were all simple rough-hewn rooms without beds, Yu Hanjiang had prepared sleeping bags for wild camping in advance, which was much better than sleeping on the corridor in the 3 of Hearts secret room.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when Xiao Lou woke up, he heard a strange rustling sound. When he went to the next room, he saw Ye Qi opening a pack of milk and biscuits and eating breakfast.

Perhaps because he had experienced the most terrifying hunger in the nightmare chamber, Ye Qi cherished food very much. He drank milk until there was no residue left. When he ate biscuits, he held them with his other hand to prevent a drop of biscuit crumbs from falling to the ground.

.The boy sat in the corner with his head down eating, like a hungry squirrel.

Xiao Lou thought of his experience and couldn't help but feel soft. He turned around and took out a large box of chocolates, a meat floss bread, a pack of cream sandwich biscuits and a pack of dried fruit snacks from his supply box and handed them to the young man. He smiled and said: "Eat more."

Bar."

Ye Qi was slightly startled when he saw the food - in order to save money, he only bought the cheapest milk and biscuits for breakfast, which had no taste in his mouth. He only ate instant noodles for lunch and dinner... Unexpectedly, Professor Xiao prepared

The supplies are so abundant.

There is actually an expensive bag of dried fruit snacks, which contains his favorite pine nuts and dried walnuts.

Ye Qi couldn't help but said: "Professor Xiao, are you buying such expensive things?"

Xiao Lou sat down next to him and said with a smile: "I don't buy much of these expensive foods, but I eat biscuits and instant noodles every day. I was worried that everyone wouldn't be able to eat them, so I bought some snacks."

Ye Qi asked curiously: "What other snacks are there?"

Xiao Lou listed: "For example, canned fruits, pickled pepper chicken feet, canned fish, braised chicken legs, beef jerky, dried tofu, plums..."

Ye Qi was stunned.

He is here to survive in the 3 Spades Chamber. Is Professor Xiao here to travel?!

Xiao Lou met the boy's wide eyes, smiled and patted his shoulder: "Follow us from now on, and you will have enough food, so you don't have to worry about being hungry anymore."

Ye Qi's eyes heated up, and he suddenly felt like he was hugging Jin's thigh. He nodded immediately: "Yeah, yeah, I listen to you!"

At this time, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge also came over.

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and stretched, obviously not fully awake yet.

Yu Hanjiang had already washed his face and was very energetic. He looked at Xiao Lou and said, "I'm still not sure about leaving you here. Why don't you draw more metal rings with a compass after breakfast later?

I'll help you lay a trap."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay."

The four of them had breakfast together, and Xiao Lou followed Yu Hanjiang's suggestion and drew hundreds of large and small circles.

Shao Qingge looked at the rings that kept appearing on the ground and sighed: "The Compass card is really powerful. You can draw weapons anytime and anywhere."

Xiao Lou asked: "Did Mr. Shao draw any good cards?"

Shao Qingge took out a card generously and said: "The only S card I drew is [God of Wealth]. The 1st skill is called God of Wealth Halo. Use it when betting gold coins to make your luck better."

OK, but it’s limited to one use per day. The second skill hasn’t been unlocked yet.”

Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "Halo of the God of Wealth? Isn't that just like the luck bead of Plum Blossom 2?"

Shao Qingge nodded: "It's almost the same, I haven't practiced it yet."

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "I heard the taxi driver say before that Moon City has the most professional casino. With this card that can make the casino better, Mr. Shao, you can go to Moon City to make money again."

Shao Qingge smiled and touched his chin: "I think so too, first accumulate some funds, and then go to the casino to make a fortune."

Mr. Shao was good at making money, and the card he drew was also the God of Wealth. Xiao Lou thought that he would never be afraid of poverty again.

Ye Qi suddenly realized that the team he joined... seemed to be terrifyingly powerful?

After a while, Yu Hanjiang took out a piece of paper and drew a distribution map of the entire building and the distribution locations of the traps on it. The traps he marked with circles covered almost all the corners and passages in the corridor.

Yu Hanjiang said: "You arrange it according to the diagram I drew. Lay the ring on the ground, cover it with soil, and tie a line at the end to control it. Once someone breaks into this building rashly, pull the corresponding area

The line can trap the opponent instantly."

This is a hunting technique commonly used by hunters in the forest. It was used by Yu Hanjiang. The whole building was full of traps. Without the distribution map, anyone who entered the building would become Xiao Lou's prey.

Xiao Lou nodded seriously and said: "I understand, Captain Yu, don't worry, Ye Qi and I will arrange it later."

Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge set off at eight o'clock sharp.

Ye Qi teleported and temporarily handed the two eavesdropping cards to Yu Hanjiang.

[Eavesdropping Device] This card is an S-level tool card. It only has one skill, but it is very easy to use. It can release 3 eavesdropping devices at the same time, and it can be placed on any target within a range of 100 meters. God knows,

Unconsciously. The duration of each eavesdropping is 3 hours. After 3 hours, the eavesdropping device is automatically recovered and enters cooling. It takes 60 minutes to recharge before it can be released again.

The teleportation card is a rare S-level special effect card. This card has two skills. The 1st skill is "Come and Go Like the Wind". After using it, you will immediately teleport horizontally to any designated location within a 50-meter range; 2.

The skill "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" can teleport objects weighing less than 100kg to a designated location within a range of 50 meters. As the growth length increases, the weight of the objects that can be moved will also increase, up to a maximum of 200kg.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Shao Qingge: "How much do you weigh?"

Shao Qingge chuckled and said: "Captain Yu, do you want to do experiments on me? I weigh 70kg."

Yu Hanjiang nodded and tested his second skill, "The Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" - the next moment, he saw Shao Qingge, whom he had designated, appear 50 meters away.

Sure enough, as long as the weight is less than 100kg, people can also be teleported. After the skill card is upgraded to the full level, two adult men and three relatively thin women can be moved at the same time with a weight of less than 200kg.

Yu Hanjiang also used skill 1 to teleport over and asked Shao Qingge: "How does it feel?"

Shao Qingge found it very miraculous: "The skill's effect time should be less than 1 second. I just felt like a gust of wind blew by. I was still downstairs just now, and in the blink of an eye I appeared at the entrance of the construction site."

Yu Hanjiang commented: "As expected of S card."

If necessary, you can take your teammates to escape, or you can use the "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" skill to kick nearby enemies 50 meters away.

Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Ye Qi, it seems that he has successfully cleared many secret rooms and drew two S-level cards."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Ye Qi looks very thin and not a threat, but he is quite strong and very smart. Professor Xiao wants him to join the team. You go with him to the 3 of Hearts and take a look at his performance."

Show yourself." He paused and then said, "No, his score in the Chamber of Hearts is S, your score is only C, don't hold him back."

Shao Qingge touched his nose: "...Captain Yu, you are too direct."

Yu Hanjiang said no more: "Let's go."

Thanks to the help of the teleportation card, there was no one on the road here in the suburbs. The two boldly drove the teleportation skills to the city quickly, and then they saw an extremely terrifying scene - during the morning rush hour, all the streets were blocked.

We were jammed tightly with private cars, and the sound of car horns almost deafened our ears.

Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge found a roadside cafe to surf the Internet.

Prices are ridiculously expensive. A cup of coffee that originally cost 2,000 gold coins has now cost 16,000 gold coins. Fortunately, Shao Qingge still has a lot of money in his hand. The Internet cafe is not open today. Sitting here and surfing the Internet is like paying the Internet fee.

Yu Hanjiang was worried that Shao Qingge would not be safe alone, so he sat next to him as a bodyguard.

Shao Qingge quickly logged into the stock center, his face changed, and he whispered: "The real estate market has also collapsed."

Today is Monday, and most office workers have to rush to their companies and workplaces. Soon, they will all know the news.

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "It seems that the real turmoil will not begin until the third day."

Shao Qingge quickly bought stocks at a low price to repay his previous debt. He calculated carefully and said to Yu Hanjiang in a low voice: "I only made one million in net profit from shorting the stock this time. I would have waited for the stock to continue to fall.

I can earn more, but I'm worried that there will be a power outage and Internet disconnection today, and I'll be in trouble then."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, don't be greedy, just accept it when it's good."

Shao Qingge said: "When I entered the secret room, I was reminded that the remaining money can be taken out of the secret room. This money is temporarily placed in my account and can be withdrawn in other secret rooms later. There may be no cash at the ATM.

Already."

Yu Hanjiang looked up and saw a long queue at an automatic teller machine not far away. At this moment, two young men suddenly rushed over and without saying a word, they snatched the gold coins from the hands of the person who had just withdrawn money and ran away.

The aunt who was robbed was shocked and screamed: "Someone is robbing money, help me stop them!"

However, everyone in the crowd looked anxious, who was still in the mood to meddle?

Some people were worried that they would be robbed when they withdraw cash, so they immediately turned around and left. The remaining people also looked alert and hurriedly withdrew the money and ran away. When they reached the fifth person in line, the person yelled: "Fuck me, there is no money in the ATM."

What are you doing in the bank?"

Several people quickly turned around and said: "Go to the bank and get it!"

When Yu Hanjiang saw this scene, his face darkened and he said, "Someone will probably rob the bank. You are right, the money is still safe in the account, don't take it out."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Today's prices continue to double, eight times more than normal times. In addition, today is a working day and there is a traffic jam on the road early in the morning. People's mood is obviously more excited than the previous two days."

He followed Xiao Lou's example and opened the local forum, and sure enough he saw the popular post hanging on the homepage——

"With the price of gas rising like this, I can no longer afford to drive. I am stuck in traffic on the bus to work. I will definitely be late today!"

"When I went to refuel last week, 40,000 gold coins could fill up a mailbox. When I went to the gas station this morning, shit, it actually cost 160,000 gold coins to fill up. Is the gas price crazy?"

"Don't talk about the gas price. The supermarket restocked this morning. I went to queue at six o'clock, but I didn't even get a carton of milk..."

"My 24-hour convenience store was smashed last night and everything was looted. Are the police still in charge?"

This post is all about complaints about rising prices.

As soon as Shao Qingge refreshed the homepage, he saw a post that quickly popped up: "Real estate stocks have also plummeted, does it mean that housing prices will drop by half?"

The post is a screenshot of today's stock market. It can be seen that stocks such as "Tianhong Real Estate" and "Fangke Real Estate Group" that Shao Qingge had paid attention to before, as if they had made an appointment, instantly fell by 50 after the opening of the market today.

%.

People on the forum are panicked. Many people who don't understand stocks are asking, and some professionals are explaining.

There are still traffic jams on the streets. Many people are late for work, and some people simply ask for leave and do not go to work.

Shao Qingge and Yu Hanjiang learned a lot of information by browsing the forum. When it was almost noon, they went back to Shanshui B&B together because Xiao Lou sent them a message: "Ye Qi said that he had put a bug to monitor everyone."

Challenger, we can basically confirm that the thief among them lives on the second floor of Shanshui B&B, and his surname is Xu. You can check it out when you have time."

The two came to Shanshui B&B. Yu Hanjiang went to the front desk to ask the boss: "Excuse me, is there a guest named Xu here? I have something urgent to ask him."

The boss said seriously: "I am a principled boss, how can I casually leak customer information?"

Shao Qingge directly took two large boxes of chocolates and placed them in front of him. He smiled and said, "Boss, can you help us look at the customer's information?"

The "very principled" boss immediately said: "No problem! Let me check... the surname is Xu... Xu Zhengyang lives in room 201 and has checked out this morning. Are you looking for him?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Checked out and left?"

The boss sighed: "I said I can't pay the room fee. Alas, there are several guests checking out today. You foreigners don't know how to bring extra money when you go out."

Shao Qingge rolled his eyes. He also wanted to bring more money, but unfortunately, the gatekeeper refused to let him take it. When he entered the secret room, all his previous assets were frozen.

Yu Hanjiang said with a cold face: "Does the boss remember what Xu Zhengyang looks like?"

The boss recalled it and said: "I only know that he is about 40 years old, a middle-aged man, mysterious and wearing a hat every day when he goes out, with the brim of the hat very low, and covering his face with a mask. I don't know what he looks like."

See clearly."

Unable to obtain more information, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge looked at each other and had no choice but to leave Shanshui B&B.

All the snack bars on the pedestrian street have been closed, and there are many old men and women talking about it on the street——

"I heard from my son that house prices may fall. Is this true?"

"It's strange. Prices are rising like crazy. Why don't house prices rise?"

"My daughter just bought a house last month. She bought it with a loan. She still has to pay off the mortgage. What if the house price drops?"

"Hey, when will the financial crisis be over? Didn't Director Liu say that he would regulate the market as soon as possible?"

At this moment, an old man suddenly pointed at the radio angrily, his beard trembling with anger: "Listen, this bastard Liu Qingming ran away on the earliest train early this morning!"

Several old ladies immediately came over to listen.

A clear female voice came from the radio: "The reporter found that Director Liu Qingming of the city's Market Supervision Administration had already left on the 6:50 express train this morning. He said he was going to Moon City for help, but according to the scene,

Eyewitnesses said that he was carrying several boxes of luggage, and it looked more like he was running away than asking for help..."

An old lady cursed: "This big liar!"

The other old man was so angry that he slapped his thigh and yelled at his wife: "I have told you before that this man named Liu Qingming cannot be trusted, and you still believe his nonsense! If I had known better, I would have gone to my niece's house out of town for a while. It would be better now.

If I can’t buy a ticket, I can’t leave!”

At this moment, someone from the nearby Shanshui B&B suddenly asked loudly: "Boss, is your air conditioner broken? It's almost too hot in the room, and there's no response at all when pressing the air conditioner."

Another person came downstairs and asked: "Is the water cut off? I want to wash clothes, but why is there no water?"

The boss's expression changed and he immediately went to check.

Soon, he said with a sad face: "The water and electricity are cut off."

The voices of other neighbors came from the side: "Is the water cut off?!"

"Our family has stopped too!"

"There is still a power outage at our house? Do you have power?"

"No!"

Amidst the noise, the refrigerator, air conditioner, electric fan...all the electrical appliances stopped running at the same time.

The sun rises slowly.

The hot sun is scorching this land, and the already anxious citizens, without air conditioners and electric fans, will soon have their psychological defenses completely collapsed under the high temperature.

Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge looked at each other and quickly turned and left.

Saturday and Sunday are the transition period, and today, Monday, it’s time to go to work.

All streets were blocked by vehicles, no traffic police came out to coordinate, and the blaring horns resounded throughout the city.

Prices continue to skyrocket, house prices fall, tickets are sold out, water, power, and internet are cut off...

The real financial apocalypse officially begins on the third day.

The author has something to say:

I will only update one chapter today, and I will also update one chapter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will rest and adjust first.

You don’t have to worry about minor surgeries.

There will be another update in September, okay!
