“The base price of the Life Fruit is 500 billion cosmos coins. However, the Life Fruit is essentially another life for a Monarch. Therefore, the price will likely surge higher! It usually exceeds two trillion, and if there’s fierce competition, it could go even higher!” Babata explained.
“Yeah, no way around it,” Luo Feng shook his head and gave up on the Life Fruit.
Hong wanted a Life Fruit as well, but he had planned to use it to cultivate the Moyun Vine.
Actually, using the Life Fruit to cultivate the Moyun Vine was a wasteful act, because although the Life Fruit is valuable and essentially grants a Monarch another life, its effectiveness in cultivating plant life is far less cost-effective compared to other items, such as the Lian Luo Fruit Luo Feng had previously purchased.
“Back then, during the battle for Thunder Stones in the Inner Realm, you used the Life Fruit to cultivate the Moyun Vine. But in reality, ‘overeating’ is bad for the body. The Life Fruit’s energy is far too potent and immense. Consuming it all at once would overwhelm the Moyun Vine, wasting much of its medicinal effects. It’s a terrible waste.”
“Furthermore, the Life Fruit’s best use is definitely not for cultivating plant life.”
“Didn’t you buy 200 Lian Luo Fruits?”
“The Lian Luo Fruit is specifically used for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Its medicinal effects are weaker and more easily absorbed. Although the Moyun Vine might still be overwhelmed, it won’t result in its body exploding like when consuming the Life Fruit.”
“Consuming one Lian Luo Fruit every ten days, over a period of three years, using 100 fruits, your elder brother Hong’s Moyun Vine could grow to the third or fourth Cosmic Stage. That’s much better than consuming a Life Fruit all at once.”
…
The Life Fruit was finally sold for 2860.9 billion cosmos coins! Slightly cheaper than the Celestial Ruin artifact, but still incredibly expensive.
…
The auction continued, with precious treasures appearing one after another, leaving Luo Feng drooling, as he no longer had enough money in his pocket.
“Even if I can’t buy anything, it’s still nice to look,” Luo Feng smiled, holding the auction token. He looked at the 1000 listed items on the token and randomly clicked on one to view its detailed information.
The detailed information of these precious items was indeed eye-opening.
It allowed Luo Feng to learn many hidden secrets of the cosmos.
…
While Luo Feng participated in the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation’s highest event—the Qianwoo Auction—his younger brother Luo Hua was in his own workshop.
In the Nine-Star Bay villa workshop.
“Seriously boring.”
Lying on the chair, six laptops were simultaneously open on the desk in front of him, each screen displaying a webpage monitoring his six most important investments.
“I played virtual combat games for a while, then virtual gun battles. Nothing to do, so boring,” Luo Hua lounged with his legs on the table.
The others in the workshop, however, were diligently working on their own tasks.
As a financial investor, he could be idle for weeks, months, or even years, but once the market moved, things would become extremely busy.
“Boss! There’s a sudden massive buy order for XPHF000891—9279!!” a young girl shouted.
“Oh!”
Luo Hua, who had been completely relaxed, suddenly sat upright, pulled his chair forward, and slid to the desk, staring intently at the second laptop screen on the left. The screen clearly displayed the massive buy order. Luo Hua grinned, “I’m not afraid of you stirring up waves, I’m only afraid of you staying stagnant. The opportunity has come!”
In this investment, Luo Hua had initially invested 35% of his capital. For someone with such substantial funds, investing this heavily in a single asset was considered an extremely high allocation.
He did this because he had confidence!
From his initial capital of 700 billion cosmos coins, over two years, it had risen to 800 billion. The profit was minimal, but Luo Hua had never sold. He was waiting for the right opportunity!
“The longer it stays horizontal, the higher it will rise vertically! It’s all about who has more patience. I hope this time it’s a real market surge!” Luo Hua stared at the screen like a venomous snake. In the cosmic investment market, even with his two trillion cosmos coin capital, it was nothing compared to four-star or five-star clients.
Everyone had to be cautious!
Because the larger the investment, the more likely it was to encounter financial sharks. It could be an investment department of a cosmos nation, or even the Cosmos Galaxy Bank, the number one bank in the cosmos, or some other super organizations. If you encountered those sharks, you could not only fail to profit, but even lose everything.
“Three times leverage, still within the safety threshold.”
“Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, monitor XPHF000891—9279. Same old rules!” Luo Hua commanded.
“Understood, Boss!” A group of young people on Earth were extremely excited.
The investment Luo Hua was making had a trading cycle of twelve hours, with each trade lasting four hours.
“Boss! The price is rapidly rising, already up 6%. Should we sell or not?”
“Wait,” Luo Hua ordered.
“It’s starting to drop, now only up 5%! It keeps falling!”
Once the price fluctuates, it’s indeed worrying because if it drops by a third, with their current three times leverage, they would face a margin call, and their 700 billion cosmos coin capital would be completely wiped out, leaving them with nothing!
Luo Hua remained expressionless, like a venomous snake, silently staring at the screen in front of him.
“There are two minutes left until closing.”
“It’s surging, starting to rise sharply.”
…
The first trading cycle rose by 12%.
The second trading cycle rose by 8%.
The third trading cycle dropped by 6%.
The fourth trading cycle fluctuated slightly, dropping by 0.8%.
The market, which had previously been stagnant, had now fully entered a turbulent phase. Even some financial sharks dared not be careless because the bigger the investment, the more devastating the losses could be once the market crashes. It’s hard to double a large capital compared to a small one.
The fifth trading cycle surged, skyrocketing straight to the upper limit—15%.
“Gradually sell off 30% of the inventory,” Luo Hua ordered coldly.
“Boss! The market is still doing great right now.”
“Today has been a wild ride. Even many small investors will go crazy tomorrow. There’s definitely more room for it to rise,” someone shouted immediately, though they didn’t hesitate to act.
You can voice your opinion on the Boss’s orders, but you must follow them!
During critical operations, even a slight delay could result in significant losses.
“Group 1 sold.”
“Group 2 sold.”
“Group 3 sold.”
Three team leaders shouted loudly. Luo Hua, sitting at the desk, revealed a slight smile: “Good.”
…
The sixth trading cycle, the price continued to rise! It seemed like Luo Hua had sold too early.
“This investment originally had a capital of 700 billion. Selling 30% of the inventory means 210 billion in capital. With three times leverage, we missed out on two or three hundred billion cosmos coins today because of the continued rise,” the young people whispered among themselves. But despite their murmurs, they didn’t dare to disobey Luo Hua’s orders in the slightest.
“Sell 10% of the inventory.”
“Continue selling another 10% of the inventory.”
In the seventh trading cycle, Luo Hua actually conducted two sell-offs, while the seventh trading cycle remained in an upward trend.
In the eighth trading cycle, it initially rose, then began to plummet! Finally hitting the limit-down.
In the ninth trading cycle, it continued to fall from the start.
“Buy 10% of the inventory,” Luo Hua ordered.
…
In the thrilling ups and downs, Luo Hua issued a series of clear commands. These seemingly risky buying orders turned out to be profitable as the price rose.
The twelfth trading cycle continued to rise!
Then it kept rising.
Throughout this process, Luo Hua kept selling!
“Target achieved, sell off the remaining inventory completely,” Luo Hua ordered.
“Understood.”
While the market was still in a frenzy, Luo Hua had already sold off all his inventory.
“Two years of waiting, six months of positioning. Now the harvest is complete,” Luo Hua smiled. No matter how much further the market would rise, it no longer mattered to him. His target had been achieved, and that was enough.
“Final settlement: cash is 46,810 billion, capital is 700 billion. That’s more than six times the original capital,” Luo Hua was very satisfied. Using leverage reasonably could indeed generate extraordinary returns, but leverage could also easily lead to margin calls. It was a double-edged sword.
…
This investment continued to rise for the next three trading cycles, occasionally slightly falling, but generally maintaining a steady upward trend, exciting countless investors across the cosmos. However, after a single limit-down, this investment then experienced three consecutive limit-downs, as everyone panicked and sold off, with no one willing to buy.
“You can’t even sell it; it’s all stuck in your hands,” Luo Hua shook his head in lament. “I wonder how many people were margin-called and driven to suicide.”
“Boss is amazing.”
“Boss stayed calm,” in the studio, seeing four consecutive limit-downs, everyone was drenched in cold sweat. Four limit-downs, each 15%, meant the price dropped to half of the highest. And all this happened in just four cycles, only two days. This kind of plummet was simply unbearable.
“There are winners and losers,” Luo Hua shook his head. “Buying well is skill, but selling well is the real victory.”
“Once you reach your target, that’s enough. Don’t be too greedy.”
“I originally prepared to leave 20%–30% unsold. But it turned out better than I expected,” Luo Hua ordered. “Alright, the price is suitable for building a position now. Build a 100 billion position within a 1% fluctuation range at this price, no leverage. Under inertia, this price will drop further.”
“Understood.”
His subordinates immediately began building positions. Knowing it would fall and still building positions, knowing it would rise and still selling, seemingly foolish, but after each trade, the brilliance of these orders became evident.
“Stay calm!”
Luo Hua knew clearly that his main reason for success was his absolute calmness, a mental state forged during his childhood and adolescence when he was disabled and isolated, leading to absolute mental composure. Calmness and timing, combined with some talent and Earth’s investment culture, made Luo Hua who he was!
“Brother, I have 42,000 billion in cash,” during the thirteenth trading cycle, Luo Hua directly transferred this amount to Luo Feng.
…
The Qianwoo Auction usually lasted around ten days, sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter.
Each batch of 1000 items was auctioned over 3–6 hours, varying in length.
On the tenth day of the Qianwoo Auction.
In the massive auction hall, countless Monarchs sat on the million thrones, all looking toward the central host.
“All 50 batches of auction items, a total of 50,000 items, have been completely auctioned,” the old man with a turtle shell laughed loudly. “Now we have reached the final climax of this auction—the final 100 items. These final auction items are either unique or incredibly valuable, and each item will have a starting price of zero cosmos coins!”
The finale of the auction—the final auction—was about to begin.
“42,000 billion cosmos coins?” Luo Feng, sitting on an unremarkable throne among the densely packed thrones, wore an expression of surprise. “Luo Hua wrote in his letter that this is profit? His principal wasn’t affected?”
Ten days ago, his younger brother hadn’t earned much yet.
But in a blink of an eye, he had earned so much. Luo Feng was stunned.
“Haha, Luo Feng, your younger brother is really impressive. Even if I were to operate, I couldn’t keep up with him. The bigger the capital, the harder it is to make a profit. Other big investors won’t easily let you take the meat. I’m truly impressed,” Babata praised. “With over 40,000 billion cosmos coins, you might even get a chance to bid on the final auction items.”
