"Team leader, something's happened! That guy's made a move!"

The skinny man suddenly shouted, startling the helicopter pilot.

"Take off and closely monitor the giant squid's movements."

Xu Qing's pretty face tightened, her expression serious. She gripped the handrails tightly and issued an order.

The fat man in the cabin also began to pack up his equipment, just in case.

The 303 Bureau has reached an agreement with the Beiyang Fleet on certain matters. Given the current situation in the surrounding area, relevant combat units will not be deployed in advance.

However, they will be closely monitoring the surrounding area, and if Bureau 303 cannot properly handle the giant squid, they will have to take some tough measures.

The giant squid in the deep sea seemed to have woken up, stretched its body, loosened its muscles, carefully discerned its direction, and then began to accelerate forward.

The target is Shanghai, the largest coastal city in the East.

"Based on the trajectory analysis, the target will arrive in Shanghai in 54 minutes and 36 seconds, team leader."

The skinny man listened to the message coming through his earpiece and reported it with a serious expression.

"Okay, get ready."

Without any hesitation, Xu Qing immediately ordered the skinny man to prepare the annihilation weapon: the concentrated air particle cannon.

The skinny man carefully carried a weapon case out of the cabin, entered a series of codes, and then voluntarily made room for it.

According to the rules of the bureau, the team leader has the right to issue attack orders, the skinny guy is responsible for opening the boxes, and the fat guy is responsible for firing the cannons.

Clear division of labor and separation of powers.

Only when the team leader agrees to open the box will the identification system on the weapon box activate the opening permission. After the skinny guy enters a series of verification codes, the weapon can be activated.

At this point, the cannon was not yet capable of attacking; the fat man had to personally operate the final procedure before it could be officially activated.

The reason why the procedure is so complicated is mainly because this weapon is a newly developed pollution-free, high-efficiency annihilation weapon by Bureau 303.

The helicopter followed closely overhead, and as soon as it broke through the first defensive perimeter, the fat man would immediately press the launch button.

"We are still 30 kilometers away from the first defensive perimeter."

"20 kilometers away from the first defensive perimeter."

"10 kilometers away from the first defensive perimeter."

Everyone on the helicopter knew that firing the shell was a foregone conclusion.

No one could stop this giant squid from landing, because no one knew what its purpose was.

"emission!"

With a shout from Xu Qing, the fat man pressed the cannon's fire button.

There was no huge recoil, nor a loud explosion.

Only a single, visible ripple spread rapidly from the helicopter, forming a spiraling flight path that quickly reached the sea surface.

There wasn't much of a splash; like a small pebble falling into the sea, the ripple disappeared without a trace.

The helicopter pilots anticipated a large-scale incident and were even prepared for an impact.

"It went silent?"

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a loud bang came from below.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying shockwave caused the helicopter to sway left and right.

After swaying for a while, everyone finally calmed down.

"Its power isn't that great."

The driver muttered to himself dismissively, "If they really need to deal with this guy, Hainan Airlines has plenty of ways to handle it."

When he turned the plane around and aimed it at the giant squid, the scene that came into view surprised him greatly.

The calm sea surface was blasted into a small basin, and the seabed could even be vaguely seen!

In the very center of the basin, floating... a giant squid? It was impossible to tell what kind of creature it originally was; it was broken into pieces.

The seawater that was blown apart began to converge due to gravity, colliding with each other and forming huge waves.

Suddenly, the sea became turbulent, no longer calm as before, and contained all sorts of strange smells and bizarrely shaped pieces of corpses.

"That's it? I thought this guy was tougher."

The skinny guy pursed his lips, but the smile in the corner of his eyes showed how excited he was.

"What do you think? This is the first time this cannon has been used in actual combat. Others may not understand its power, but you don't?"

Knowing the matter was over, the fat man put down the cannon barrel he was carrying on his shoulder, wiped it clean, and put it back into the weapon case.

"Let's inform our neighboring units to keep the surrounding 10-kilometer sea area closed off. We need to bring these experimental samples back."

Xu Qing could no longer hide the smile in her eyes, and she happily issued a firm order.

How long has it been? Since the establishment of Bureau 303, it has been subjected to ridicule and sarcasm.

One person says they're just wasting their lives, another says they're squandering taxpayers' money.

Wasn't it thanks to their newly developed weapons that the giant squid's landing operation was stopped this time?

If we use firearms, wouldn't the whole world have to know about it?

How can we appease the people?

How do you hold a press conference?

With their 303rd inning, all of this will be perfectly covered up.

Apart from a very few people who know about it, no one else will notice anything unusual.

As for the posts online?

Let's just treat this as a story.

While Bureau 303 was cleaning up the mess at sea, the situation in Dongguo was still calm.

Besides the residents along the coast of Shanghai, including Gao Feng, many felt that the waves today were much bigger than usual, and even almost formed a tsunami.

Fortunately, the coastal defenses of the Eastern Kingdom were well-constructed, and there were basically no major losses, except for a few small boats that were capsized at the dock.

Because the operation by Bureau 303 was conducted over the sea, it was captured by various satellites overhead.

Therefore, the countries urgently convened secret meetings, the contents of which remain unknown.

However, the relevant departments in East Korea have gained a lot of influence in the global arena, and can now speak with confidence and say some tough words, rather than simply issuing condemnations.

Gao Feng was unaware of the commotion caused by the giant squid; he also had no idea where the giant squid's corpse was.

Having fed Xiaohua, he was now giving Qian Sui a severe dressing-down.

"You, a biological computer, why aren't you studying properly? What are you doing playing the stock market?"

"If you could play it right, that would be fine, but you bought me a stock that hit its daily limit down, and it was locked at the limit down with huge volume. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Do you know how hard it is for us to earn this money?

"That's what I earned with my dignity and integrity. Do you know how many unequal treaties I signed?"

"Do you know how many drinks I wasted because of that stupid equity transfer?"

"100,000? If it hits the daily limit down tomorrow, will it become 90,000? And in a few days, will it only be 50,000 left?"

"Your Majesty, how can I possibly describe you?"

After a stern reprimand, his raging temper subsided somewhat, but his gaze toward Qian Sui remained unfriendly.

"Sir, please don't blame the boss. He was just trying to do what's best for everyone. Besides, who knows, things might just end up flat on the ground soon."

He learned to speak at the age of ten and even knew how to speak up for his older brother.

"Shut up and go lay an egg. You've rebelled, haven't you? You're banding together now, aren't you? Are you going to start a robot rebellion like in the movies in a few days?"

Gao Ang was genuinely angry this time.

On the one hand, he was angry with the emperor, and because he hadn't mastered his skills, he resorted to opportunism.

On the other hand, he was angry with himself for giving him such great authority. It was just a broken biological computer, and he was talking about "big data stock trading." What good was it? He was just greedy and stupid, and he believed in the nonsense of the ancients.

After being reprimanded, Qian Sui remained silent and made no attempt to defend herself.

"You're not allowed to play the stock market anymore. When it comes to fleecing retail investors, can you outmaneuver the national team?"

"gentlemen……"

"Stop talking. As long as you can sell, stop the loss immediately, unconditionally."

Gao Ang interrupted Qian Sui and issued a mandatory order.

"Sir, please open..."

"What do you mean 'open'? You can't even close it, why are you still opening it?"

"What I mean is that the board has been opened..." Chitose said weakly, her tone full of grievance.

He did indeed do a lot of analysis before he bought the stock that had hit its daily limit down.

He considered everything, from fundamentals and news to the browsing history of speculative investors and their communication among themselves.

According to his analysis, this stock will definitely hit the daily limit up and then continue to soar.

What you mean, sir, is to quickly acquire legitimate wealth. Isn't this kind of good ticket just free money?

Who knew that the man would look at his phone and check his activity logs?

Seeing that the stock had hit its daily limit down, he immediately panicked and didn't give him a chance to explain.

"The board's open? Sell, sell now!"

"Um, sir, I just bought it today, it won't be available for sale until tomorrow..." Chitose replied weakly.

“…” Gao Ang glanced at Qian Sui speechlessly. Of course he knew these rules, but he was just confused by anger.

Since he was bored anyway, Gao Ang took his phone, lay on the sofa, and watched the stock's trend while his mind continued to criticize Qian Sui.

"Don't be fooled by its open state now; it'll be lying on the floor again in a bit."

Unfortunately, the stock's intraday candlestick chart didn't cooperate at all; after the price limit was lifted, the amount of money buying in rapidly increased.

Each transaction involves more than 5,000 lots, and there are even large orders of 10,000 lots.

No matter how much selling pressure there is, it's impossible to bring the upward K-line down even a little bit.

Amidst stunned disbelief, the stock surged from -10% to its daily limit of +10% in just one minute.

Within one minute, the trading volume exceeded 1 billion, and the last 1 million lots, nearly 700 million in buy orders, locked the stock at its daily limit.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, how much did we earn today?"

Suddenly, I became enthusiastic and passionate.

Although he doesn't know much about stock trading, his momentum from floor to ceiling is quite impressive.

There's a saying: "The trend of the world is mighty and unstoppable; those who follow it prosper, and those who oppose it perish."

If it's already at rock bottom, why would you still short it? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"22.2 points, sir."

The emperor was neither overly excited nor eager to claim credit.

He knew that these were things he should do. In his master's eyes, making money was the right thing to do; losing money was wrong and should be avoided.

"I mean, how much exactly?"

“I made a trade yesterday and only earned a little over 5%. My principal was 100,000. After deducting transaction fees and stamp duty, the amount I have for today’s bottom-fishing is 0.54. Based on the current price, our account balance is 0.54, sir.”

Gao Ang did the math and realized he only earned a little over 20,000 yuan in two days…

That's still a long way from him opening his own factory.

"Sir, you can't calculate it like that; you have to calculate compound interest."

Gao Ang was taken aback. "Right, we have to calculate compound interest." "It's all your fault. I was so angry with you just now. How could I not know about compound interest?"

"With compound interest, it's 10% a day. But let's discount that; you can't get 10% every day. Let's say 5%, or 3%. That means... it would only be four times your initial investment in two months?"

"What do you think about a year from now?"

"A year later... Hiss... Qian Sui, look, this money of mine is pretty useless. Xiao Hua can't eat that much. Why don't you take it all to play with?"

"..."

The weather is great today, sunny and hot.

With nothing to do, Gao Yang moved a deck chair to the rooftop to sunbathe, but Xiao Hua absolutely refused to come up.

"You're so lucky, you don't even know how good you have it. Sunbathing is so comfortable!"

With her eyes closed, Gao Feng planned to take a nap.

"Wait, something's not right, what's that smell?"
