167: Chapter 167 The Financial Curtain Falls
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yuan quickly calculated the results and dialed the private line again to report to Chen Mo:
"Mr. Chen, the total returns are in. Between the ruble campaign and the Federal Reserve campaign, the total return rate is as high as 223%—we've more than tripled our money!
From our initial margin of $4.2 billion, the total account earnings have now reached $13.566 billion, with a net profit of a full $9.366 billion! Of that, the ruble campaign profited $5.436 billion, and the Federal Reserve interest rate meeting campaign profited $3.93 billion!"
Chen Mo gave a brief acknowledgement and hung up without saying anything more.
He stood up and walked to the window. The horizon was already turning pale; the night had passed, and dawn was nearly here.
In the manor, Chen Mo stretched. Despite staying up all night, he didn't feel the least bit tired. After all, a net profit of over 9 billion was an earth-shattering event for others, but for him, it was just a little game he'd set up on a whim. Now that things had slowed down, he actually felt a bit bored.
Just then, Chen Mo saw Su Yingxue coming into the living room after finishing breakfast. He looked at Su Yingxue and asked:
"Want to play some games since there's nothing else to do?"
Su Yingxue nodded.
Chen Mo then dialed Nalan Ruoshui's number and said:
"Ruoshui, where are you? I'm bored out of my mind; let's play a few rounds of pubg."
On the other end of the line, Nalan Ruoshui's voice carried a hint of a smile:
"I'm with Ling Jing right now. She's currently livestreaming pubg. The two of us are in a group and we're short two people. If you're coming, bring someone else and we'll have a full squad."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a coincidence:
"Alright, Su Yingxue and I will be online in a moment."
"Got it, I'll tell her right away."
Nalan Ruoshui hung up and turned to Ling Jing, who was facing the livestream camera:
"Jing Jing, Chen Mo and Sister Yingxue are coming over to play with us."
Hearing this, Ling Jing's eyes lit up. A look of surprise and slight nervousness appeared on her face as she quickly said to the camera:
"Everyone, there's a surprise! Mr. Chen—the Mr. Chen from our Tianxing Group—and Sister Yingxue are coming to play pubg with Nalan and me. They'll be online any second!"
As soon as the livestream audience heard this, the chat exploded. The previously steady stream of comments became a dense flood:
"Holy crap?! Mr. Chen?! Did I hear that right? Mr. Chen is going to play games with Jing Jing?"
"Oh my god! Is it that legendary Mr. Chen? The boss of Tianxing Group?!"
"Who else is seeing this, guys?! Jing Jing is actually going to livestream pubg with Mr. Chen. This clout is off the charts!"
"I remember the last time Mr. Chen accidentally appeared in Jing Jing's stream. He got 28 kills in one round. His marksmanship was insane!"
"Waiting for Mr. Chen to get online! I want to see if his gaming skills are still as god-tier as before!"
Ling Jing quickly sent out the invitations and then said:
"Mr. Chen and the others will be here soon. Let's wait a moment. Today we're a squad of four, so let's aim to pubg!"
Chen Mo brought Su Yingxue along as they joined the game.
Su Yingxue smiled at Chen Mo beside her and said, "You better take good care of me."
As soon as the two joined the room, Ling Jing noticed immediately and hurriedly said to the camera:
"Everyone! Mr. Chen and Sister Yingxue are online! Mr. Chen is still using that familiar nickname, 'earths number one handsome'!"
As she spoke, she opened her mic and said:
"Mr. Chen, Sister Yingxue."
Chen Mo responded:
"Yeah, let's start."
Nalan Ruoshui said with a smile, "Hello, Ling Jing. Let's start the game; don't keep the fans waiting."
By now, the chat in the livestream was moving so fast the video was barely visible, and the stream's popularity was skyrocketing:
"I see it, I see it! earths number one handsome! It really is Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen is still so low-key! He didn't even change his nickname!"
"Jing Jing is so stiff, haha. But it's understandable—he is the boss, after all!"
"The young lady is so gentle! She and Mr. Chen are such a perfect match!"
"Stop talking! Start the game! I want to see Mr. Chen show off his skills!"
Ling Jing took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness, and said into the microphone:
"Mr. Chen, Sister Yingxue, Sister Nalan, where should we drop? Anywhere is fine with me, I'll follow your lead."
"Let's drop at G-Port. It's more exciting, and we can finish things quickly."
Chen Mo said in a composed tone:
"You three stay close to me and don't wander off. I'll carry you to the kills. Yingxue, just stay by my side."
"Okay, Mr. Chen," Ling Jing quickly replied.
Nalan Ruoshui also spoke up:
"I'll play support for you."
Su Yingxue nodded with a smile and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be following you closely."
The game began, the plane took off, and Chen Mo marked G-Port directly:
"Prepare to jump. 3-second countdown. Jump together. Grab a gun first once we land. Don't panic, I've got you."
"Roger that, Mr. Chen!"
Ling Jing quickly responded, and the livestream chat seethed along with her:
"G-Port! Mr. Chen is charging into G-Port! So brave!"
"G-Port is crowded and the guns are everywhere. Mr. Chen is going in for a slaughter!"
"Jing Jing better stay close to Mr. Chen. Don't turn into a loot box right after landing again, haha!"
"Go Mr. Chen! Waiting for Mr. Chen to crush the field again!"
Upon landing, Chen Mo's reactions were lightning-fast. He saw an AKM nearby, picked it up, and quickly grabbed an Extended Quickdraw Mag and a Basic Sight. The entire sequence was fluid; he was fully armed in less than three seconds.
Just then, an enemy rushed toward him. Just as they were about to raise their gun, Chen Mo spun around instantly, aimed the AKM, and fired several shots—a direct headshot elimination!
" Done!"
Chen Mo's tone was casual, as if he were just one step away from blowing on the muzzle of his gun.
Ling Jing:
"Mr. Chen is too amazing! I haven't even found a gun yet, and you've already eliminated someone!"
Su Yingxue had also just found a pistol and said with a smile:
"As expected, you're the best. I just got my hands on a gun, and you've already taken someone out."
Nalan Ruoshui picked up an M416 and observed the surroundings while following behind Chen Mo:
"Footsteps on the left. Be careful."
Hearing this, Chen Mo instantly locked onto the direction. He lowered his stance, approached slowly, and suddenly peeked. His M416 sprayed accurately—another headshot!
The livestream chat exploded instantly:
"Holy crap! Two headshots! Mr. Chen's marksmanship is still so god-tier!"
"That was too fast! I didn't even see where the enemy was before they were eliminated by Mr. Chen!"
"Domination! This is pure domination! Mr. Chen isn't giving the enemies a single chance!"
"Jing Jing: I haven't even found a gun, and Mr. Chen has already killed two?"
"Mr. Chen is the GOAT!"
As Chen Mo moved forward, he dropped supplies for them:
"Yingxue, here's an M416 and some Painkillers. Keep a good stock of them."
"Ruoshui, this Scope is for you. You're on support, so I'll leave the distant enemies to you."
"Ling Jing, here's a Sniper Rifle. See if you can hit the enemies further away."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Ling Jing, the Human Outline Artist, quickly took the Sniper Rifle, waved it toward the camera, and said excitedly:
"Everyone, see that? The Sniper Rifle Mr. Chen gave me. I'm going to try for a headshot and not let Mr. Chen down!"
