Cosmic Trading System

Time slowly dwindled away...

In a blink, several days passed.

The sales on Hang Lee's end were thriving. He transferred another 1.5 billion funds to Lin Yun during this time.

Of these funds, Lin Yun transferred six hundred million to some overseas futures accounts, which equaled one hundred million USD.

Ever since realizing that the funds could not manipulate the overseas futures market, Lin Yun altered his strategy. He only invested a small amount in each future so as not to draw suspicion, as long as it produced consistent profits.

Under Lin Yun's arrangement, there were few losses; it was mostly profit, and overall earnings were pretty satisfactory.

With a ten times leverage, it was a relatively small leverage in the futures market. Lin Yun wasn't worried about any potential issues. Small problems could be solved as long as they were reported to him in time.

During these days, Lin Yun once again encountered the same special circumstance as before. He personally made another hundred million USD profit.

The allure of this market was enormous.

This was why Lin Yun made another transfer of a hundred million USD.

The money in those futures accounts now totaled three hundred ninety million USD.

Starting off with ninety million USD investment, adding in the one hundred million transferred in these days, initially making over seventy million USD, followed by his personal contribution of making another hundred million USD profit, this totaled more than three hundred sixty million USD.

These past few days, the actions of several brokers only earned over twenty million USD.

But when converted into Huaxia Currency, it was around a hundred and fifty million.

He would also have to sell about a dozen bottles of the Qingyun Reserve.

These days, the Qingyun power banks probably earned roughly the same amount.

If we add in the money he earned from his personal contributions, the amount accumulated was indeed terrifying.

In short, this was another way to make money.

With enough money, resource collection was also rapid.

The Cosmic Trading System's range for absorbing and refining spiritual energy had reached a radius of nine hundred meters.

Six times six equals thirty-six!

Nine times nine equals eighty-one!

Considering only the area, the range of the Cosmic Trading System's absorption and refinement of spiritual energy was more than twice the original size.

The number of spirit crystals acquired by the Cosmic Trading System daily had reached thirteen.

Busy places had already been covered earlier... Now, all ranged areas are hard to cover completely; otherwise, this data figure would be even more substantial.

This was inevitable.

However, overall, the flow of people in Shen City was dense. This data increase won't decrease much until he covered the entire city.

Over these days, Lin Yun had learnt five beginner-level martial art skills.

Previously, he had learnt Tiger Fist, a boxing technique. This time, he learnt leg technique, footwork, blade technique, sword technique, and even a hidden-weapons skill with flying knives.

Indeed, after learning them, his understanding of martial arts deepened even more. The past few days, when he practiced Tiger Fist, he grasped many areas even faster.

The techniques he learnt this time did not include boxing. If he were to learn several boxing techniques, he felt his understanding of Tiger Fist would definitely deepen.

With this trend, the more martial art skills he learnt, the quicker he could possibly enhance Tiger Fist, or any other beginner level martial arts skills, to a minor achievement.

December 21!

Dawn at three o'clock!

It was still dark out!

It was time to go home!

On the rooftop of the Qingyun Hotel, Lin Yun finished his practice and exhaled long.

Looking in the direction of his hometown, he said softly,

"Today's my birthday, and I want to get back home by morning."

He had already booked an airplane ticket for a 3:30 flight.

Lin Yun didn't take the elevator but quickly descended the stairs at high speed, like a gust of wind.

The bodyguards waiting downstairs who saw him were all taken aback.

Lin Yun was getting stronger.

They were no match for Lin Yun. In fact, they couldn't even keep up with his speed.

Downstairs, bodyguards and a car were waiting for him.

Xia Qingqing was waiting as well.

"Brother..."

In seeing Lin Yun coming downstairs, Qingqing came forward immediately.

Since an emergency arose at Qingqing's family home, she could not return with Lin Yun.

Qingqing had told Lin Yun that once she went home to take care of things, she's going to his place.

Lin Yun agreed.

In fact, he should also pay a visit to Qingqing's home. But now, he didn't want to wait any longer. Given that it was his birthday, he was eager to return home.

He thought that once Qingqing visited his place, they could both go to her home together.

Lin Yun asked ten bodyguards to protect Qingqing. In private, Lin Yun also ensured Qingqing wears a protective innerwear at all times – even when she was sleeping. In case of gun attacks, the vest could even release an energy barrier to deflect the attack for a short time. Therefore, he was pretty confident about Qingqing's safety.

Then, Qingqing sent Lin Yun to the airport.

They said their fond goodbyes.

No bodyguards accompanied Lin Yun on the flight.

After not returning home for five years, Lin Yun wanted to spend some alone time with his family.

He instructed the bodyguards to drive back.

Twenty cars, about forty to fifty bodyguards.

This time, he wanted to return home grandly.

The distance from Shen City to his hometown was more than two thousand kilometers.

If two or three men took turns driving, they could reach in about two days.

During these two days, he could spend some time alone with his family.

The plane took off as scheduled at three-thirty.

In the first-class cabin, Lin Yun closed his eyes and rested.

At six o'clock, the plane landed.

That was the power of technology. A journey of over two thousand kilometers was completed in just over two hours.

However, it was still quite a distance from his hometown, about two hundred kilometers.

Lin Yun's hometown was just an ordinary small county town, which didn't have an airport.

Exiting the airport, Lin Yun got into a taxi.

"I'm heading to Immortal Origin County," Lin Yun remarked.

"Where are you going?" The driver thought he had misheard.

The people who got into taxis here were often going to nearby cities. As far as he remembered, Immortal Origin County seemed to be a quite distant small county town.

"I'm heading to Immortal Origin County. Do you know the way?" Lin Yun asked.

"Immortal Origin County, I've been there before. I know the way. However, as it's quite far, so about the price..." the driver said, assuring himself he had not misheard. He smiled,

He wasn't worried about whether the passenger could afford it. Those who could afford a flight were often wealthy. He had previously catered for passengers who were extravagant enough to take a cab for hundreds of kilometers, but the fare needed to be agreed on to avoid any disputes, long-distance and short-distance fares differed.

"Two hundred twenty kilometers, two hours and twenty minutes to Immortal Origin County Town. I'll give you a thousand bucks. For each minute early, I'll give an extra hundred," Lin Yun said nonchalantly.

While speaking, he pulled a stack of money from his pocket and threw it on the dashboard.

"Alright then, brace yourself!" No sooner than Lin Yun finished speaking, the taxi darted off.

Every taxi driver was a skilled driver; this was true. They could drive fast on difficult roads since, for them, time was money.

Taking the freeway, Lin Yun arrived at Immortal Origin County Town just two hours later.

At 8:15 a.m.

Lin Yun got off in a village near Immortal Origin County Town.

As he looked around at the familiar yet foreign place, his heart trembled slightly.

He had not returned in five years... How was his family doing?

Five years... much had changed in Immortal Origin County.

While passing through the county town earlier, he saw numerous high-rise buildings, squares everywhere, and neon lights all around.

He didn't know what his family was doing now.

After five years of striving in the foreign lands, Lin Yun, who had strengthened his heart for five years, found his eyes a bit moist right now.
