Currently, if Lin Yun is in Shenzhen, the Cosmic Trading System can obtain thirteen Spirit Crystals every day.
If the range of spiritual energy absorbed by the Cosmic Trading System were expanded fourfold, Lin Yun could obtain more than fifty spiritual crystals every day in Shenzhen.
You can obtain a thousand spirit crystals in less than twenty days.
Needless to say, for every hundred spirit crystals he obtains, he can first expand the range of the cosmic trading system's absorption of spirit energy by one hundred meters.
If that's the case, from now on, before he obtains a thousand spirit crystals, the cosmic trading system can acquire many more spirit crystals.
If he keeps saving his spiritual crystals without spending them, he can accumulate a thousand. During this time, all those spiritual crystals will be wasted.
However, the sooner he learns about intermediate futures markets on Earth, the sooner he can use that knowledge to make a lot of money in foreign futures markets. If he uses that extra money to buy various resources, how many more spiritual crystals can he obtain?
Both scenarios have their advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult for Lin Yun not to be conflicted.
Actually, there's another important matter, which is also the reason why Lin Yun is so conflicted.
That is to learn martial arts.
Based on the information he obtained from the cosmic trading system, he should learn more beginner-level martial arts techniques at the Ming Jin level. If he could learn martial arts techniques at the minor proficiency level, or even higher proficiency levels, that would be even better.
This is another considerable expense.
Although he is currently suppressing his breakthrough, he has been stuck at the late stage of Ming Jin for too long, and he has a vague feeling that he will break through to the peak of Ming Jin in the next few days.
At that time, his time was running out.
This isn't something he can do by not learning martial arts now and waiting until he's close to breaking through to the Dark Force stage before suddenly learning a lot. After he learns some martial arts, it's best for him to slowly experience and digest them, forming his own understanding of martial arts.
Otherwise, it will not be able to lay a solid foundation.
Should we accumulate a thousand spirit crystals first? Or should we learn martial arts techniques first, gradually expanding the scope of the cosmic trading system's absorption of spirit energy, and develop step by step in this way?
"Money...the crystallization of spiritual essence..."
Lin Yun sighed softly.
He earns these two things quickly, but he also spends a lot on them.
It's still in short supply.
If he had enough money, or enough intellectual capital, would he even need to consider this question?
After careful consideration, Lin Yun quickly made a decision.
Martial arts skills are something that cannot be delayed.
Once this opportunity is missed, it's hard to make up for it; nothing is more important than this.
He should continue to study.
For now, I will learn one or two beginner-level martial arts techniques every day without fail.
He can work on minor-level martial arts skills and even more advanced ones once he has acquired a certain number of spiritual crystals.
These days, he is in Xianyuan County, where the population is limited.
Now that it's the end of the year, many migrant workers are returning home. Even if they return to Shenzhen at this time, the city's population density will decrease significantly.
Therefore, even if he expands the scope of the cosmic trading system's absorption of spiritual energy, the spiritual crystals he can obtain each day will not increase much.
This time may be the best time for him to accumulate spiritual insights.
Lin Yun thought to himself.
This result is actually not difficult to arrive at.
However, he was reluctant to spend so much spiritual knowledge on things that wouldn't increase his own strength.
In retrospect, this seems to be the most suitable approach.
Currently, the funds in his futures account have reached $470 million.
If converted to Chinese Yuan, it would be over 2.7 billion.
He still has over 1.5 billion in his bank account, which adds up to over 4 billion.
In fact, if you buy all the resources, you can get about a thousand spirit crystals.
However, he couldn't leave any funds in those futures accounts. Otherwise, even if he learned intermediate-level knowledge of the futures market on Earth, how could he make money quickly without enough capital?
He also had to set aside some funds for other purposes.
After parting ways with Zhao Gang, Lin Yun began contacting people who acquired various resources, urging them to do their utmost to acquire them.
Even those who acquire various resources, who are already very familiar with this area and have a lot of connections, cannot easily complete the task of dealing with billions of dollars worth of resources in a short period of time.
After the command is issued.
Lin Yun also took the opportunity to carefully study the data of various foreign futures, to see if he could find an opportunity to make a big profit again before he withdrew a portion of his money, which would greatly reduce his financial pressure.
...
Something happened in Linzhuang today.
"Old man Lin, how about it? I said I'd make sure your vegetables can't be sold, and I'll make sure they can't be sold. Right now, only Wangxianlou is buying your vegetables, but in a few days, I'll make sure they stop buying them too, so your vegetables will all rot in the ground. Do you believe me?" Zhang Xi and his men blocked Lin Yun's house, looked at Lin's father, and said with a cold smile.
Hearing Zhang Xi's words, Lin's father's face turned ashen.
"You... how can you be so domineering..." Lin's mother grabbed Lin's father's arm, trembling with anger, and said.
Since the county banned three-wheeled vehicles, their vegetables rotted in the fields once, resulting in significant losses.
After that, their business became very, very slow.
If they suffer another loss, their family will not only have worked for nothing this year, but they will also lose some of their capital.
"Overbearing? Heh, you're right, we are indeed overbearing, so what?" Zhang said with a smug smile.
He never expected that the complete ban on three-wheeled vehicles in Xianyuan County would be an opportunity for him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he almost monopolized most of the vegetable markets in Xianyuan County during this period.
During this period, he also made a fortune.
This led him to recruit many more brothers.
Now, he has fifty or sixty brothers under his command, each of them a capable young man. None of these vegetable farmers can stand against him anymore, and he can deal with them with even greater ease.
This made his confidence soar.
A few days ago, in a moment of triumph, he thought again of someone he held a grudge against.
Lin Yun!
Back when he was just starting out and making a name for himself, Lin Yun's behavior made them look extremely embarrassed.
It almost caused his entire group of brothers to scatter, but it also severely damaged his strength.
In his view, someone as smart as him would have made a name for himself long ago if it weren't for Lin Yun's actions back then.
Why were you living in such dire straits a few years ago?
Now that he has become successful, and Lin Yun's family happens to be in his hands, he naturally cannot let them go.
At first, he was wary of the shadow left by Lin Yun and didn't dare to go too far, but secretly sabotaged him.
Especially a couple of days ago, he told Wangxianlou to stop accepting vegetables from Lin Yun's family.
To his surprise, he received news that Lin Yun had returned.
For some unknown reason, the purchasing agent from Wangxianlou whom he had contacted happened to be fired, and the chef who was on good terms with Lin Yun's family became the new purchasing agent, still using Lin Yun's family's dishes.
For a moment, he was unsure whether this matter had anything to do with Lin Yun.
In the past two days, he hasn't dared to approach Wangxianlou again to discuss no longer accepting Lin Yun's family's dishes.
But for the past two days, he has been keeping an eye on Lin Yun.
After receiving the message that Lin Yun had been delivering vegetables to Wangxianlou every day for the past two days, he gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
And he felt a hint of disdain for Lin Yun.
In his opinion, Lin Yun probably wasn't doing too well outside, otherwise he wouldn't be back home now, delivering vegetables to people every day in a cart.
He was quite a formidable figure back then, but now he's also struggling to make ends meet.
He sneered.
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny; he has seen too many people like that over the years.
His confidence returned.
Furthermore, he conceived the idea of humiliating Lin Yun once again and getting revenge for what happened back then.
Unlike back then.
Back then, what they did wasn't exactly legitimate or legal. Even though Lin Yun beat them up, they didn't dare call the police to do anything to Lin Yun.
Now, he's running a legitimate business. If Lin Yun dares to mess with them, he'll get Lin Yun arrested.
Not to mention, he now has fifty or sixty men under his command, not just a dozen or so back then. Even if Lin Yun were to attack him, he might not necessarily gain the upper hand. He might even get beaten up and sent to the police station instead.
Just imagining this scenario, thinking about the other person's resentment, helplessness, and regret, makes him feel very satisfied.
He is not the same person he used to be.
"The Lin family is in trouble now..."
"This Zhang Xi has gone too far..."
"The other side has excessive resources; they have fifty or sixty men under their command, and they're not to be trifled with..."
"Yeah, Lin Yun's back. So what if Lin Yun can fight? There are fifty or sixty of them on the other side..."
Some of the villagers watching shook their heads slightly.
"I heard that Lin Yun offended him before, which is why he treated Lin Yun's family this way. We shouldn't get involved, otherwise, he'll hold a grudge, and we can forget about selling our vegetables..."
Some villagers who also grow vegetables frowned.
"See? Is this what you call Lin Yun's ability? He really is capable. He didn't study hard when he was in school and offended people everywhere. Now his revenge is here. His family can't sell their vegetables, can they?" Outside the crowd, Lin Minghui grabbed Li Yue'e, who was about to rush in, and said disdainfully.
"Don't hold me back. Let me go in and see. Guizhi's family often gives us vegetables. With your sarcastic remarks, are you just feeding all that vegetables to the dogs?" Li Yue'e glared at her husband and said angrily.
"How much are those vegetables worth? Besides, they can't sell them now, they'll just rot in the field and be worthless!" Lin Minghui curled his lip and said, "Don't rush in. The dozens of people behind Zhang Xi are not to be trifled with. What if they take a liking to you and attack you?"
“There is a solution to this problem. I heard Lin Yun is back? I had some issues with him back then. If he’s home, tell him to come out and stop being a coward. Make him come to Wangxianlou and set up a table for me, and serve me tea and apologize. Then I’ll consider letting your family off the hook!” At this moment, Zhang Xi glanced at Lin’s father from the crowd and said.
"Otherwise, your few acres of vegetable fields will not be able to sell any vegetables, not even this year, let alone next year or the year after!" Zhang Xi said arrogantly after a pause.
"Is that so?" Just then, a faint voice came from outside the crowd.
His tone was extremely cold.
"Um?"
The voice was very clear, very sudden, and most importantly, the tone of the voice seemed to be very disdainful of Zhang Xi's words.
Who is this person who dares to speak to Zhang Xi like that?
Many onlookers were surprised and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
"Lin Yun!"
"Lin Yun is back!"
Some villagers were surprised after they saw who was speaking.
"Lin Yun isn't the type to swallow his anger; I wonder if he'll retaliate..."
"Resist? Zhang Xi has dozens of men on his side..."
Some villagers' eyes lit up, and they began to whisper among themselves.
"Yunzi!"
"Yunzi, you're back!"
Lin's parents quickly stepped forward to pull Lin Yun back, fearing that he might lose control and retaliate.
They knew Lin Yun was very skilled, and they also knew his personality—he would act without warning. But this was a society governed by law, and people couldn't just act rashly. Besides, there were so many of them on the other side; if Lin Yun made a move, he would probably be the one who suffered.
"Lin Yun, you're back. Perfect timing. What do you think of my suggestion earlier?"
Upon seeing Lin Yun appear, Zhang Xi's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly.
Now, he has fifty or sixty people behind him, so he is not afraid of Lin Yun.
"Zhang Xi? It's been years, and you're still as scum as ever! Who gave you the guts to come to my house and cause trouble?" Lin Yun said with a cold smile.
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Zhang Xi laughed angrily.
After not seeing each other for several years, Lin Yun still speaks to him in the same tone?
Do you really think that I'm still the same person I was back then, and you're still the same person I was back then, so you can lecture me at will?
Today, I'll make you face reality!
In an instant, Zhang Xi made a decision: even if it came at a cost, he would teach Lin Yun a lesson today.
During this period, he had his subordinates do a lot of work in order to integrate the vegetable market in Xianyuan County.
This not only fostered a sense of resentment in him, but also made him prone to losing his temper.
This also made him very experienced in handling such matters.
He wasn't afraid of this at all.
“Since he’s so ungrateful, why don’t you teach him a lesson and show him why the flowers are so red!” Zhang Xi stepped back and looked at the people behind him, saying.
"Boss, just you wait and see!"
"Haha, boss, don't worry, we'll definitely show him why the flowers are so red!"
A group of young men laughed loudly and rushed towards Lin Yun.
They've done this many times during this period, and they're not shy at all.
Although Zhang Xi had told them long ago that Lin Yun was quite skilled, they thought it would just be a matter of a little more trouble.
No matter how strong one person is, can they possibly defeat fifty or sixty of them?
"Wouldn't this be considered self-defense? Since they want to know why the flowers are so red, then let them know why the flowers are so red!" Lin Yun shook his head slightly and said.
"Yes, boss!" Two men in black suits beside Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
As they spoke, they walked unhurriedly toward the people who were rushing up.
At this moment, everyone noticed that there were two men dressed in black suits next to Lin Yun.
