Chapter 188 Kamar-Taj "Enlightenment" (Part 1)

The biting cold wind above the Himalayas persists all year round, and the snowflakes blown by the wind are like pure white knife light, shuttling through the lonely and vast valleys.

The sound of the wind was like the whimpering of the earth, covering up the horns blown by travelers at the end of the world. He turned his head and looked back. Behind the layers of peaks, there were curls of smoke floating up like incense threads.

When the last incense stick in the incense burner burned to the end, when the fire went out, the straight incense string also dispersed. At the last moment when the smoke dispersed, the clear sound of the chess pieces hitting the chessboard echoed in the quiet room.

A fair and slender hand twisted the chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard. There was no trace of time on the Supreme Mage's hand, but it had a rough texture left by the years of farming. The lines spread along the back of her hand. , Gu Yi looked at the chessboard with still calm eyes.

She turned her head slightly, glanced at the burned out incense, and said, "That's it for today."

Strange, who made the last move, glanced at the chessboard. The game was not intense. Obviously, both parties were a little distracted.

Ancient Yi flicked the robe, and some dust rose up around her. She stood up and walked slowly to the eucalyptus, and lit another stick of incense. Strange could smell it, and the fragrance of the incense candle became Clear.

The king came in carrying a tray. Strange put away the chess pieces and chessboard on the table and put them under the table. The king took out tea and snacks from the tray he was carrying.

Strange thought, there is a reason why Kama Taj can be called a holy place. This is a completely different feeling from living in New York.

He looked around the room. It was not big, and there was very little furniture. The floor was made of rough felt, and the entire wall opposite was covered with wooden museum shelves. There was a piece of eucalyptus in front of it, and on the left and right walls There are hanging paintings and two bonsais placed in the middle.

There was a low table in the center of the room. The chessboard and chess pieces were usually stored under the table. After Strange finished practicing his magic, he would play a game of chess with Ancient One here.

Strange originally didn't know how to play Go, but after practicing for a few days, he became proficient at it.

The game with Gu Yi does not determine the outcome, only time counts. After a stick of incense, they will put away the chessboard, drink tea and chat. It was during this period that Strange learned about the universe from Gu Yi. the mystery.

The atmosphere here is completely different from what Strange had imagined before arriving.

In Western mythology, the concept of a holy land often appears to be glorious and grand. The architecture must be majestic and the atmosphere must be mysterious.

This is not the case with Kokama Taj. Although the existence of such a building in the deep mountains of the Himalayas is already a miracle, the temperament here is more primitive and natural than sacred.

But Strange had to admit that this atmosphere gave him a long-lost peace and relaxation, and his brain, which was almost blinded by money, gradually calmed down.

But again, in this atmosphere, Strange felt that what he was going to say next would not be easy to say.

He looked around the room again. Although the furnishings here were simple, everything was just right, and traces of the vicissitudes of time could be seen.

Everyone here, whether they are the Supreme Mage or the young apprentice who has just started, has a kind of indifferent but agile temperament. In comparison, Strange always seems out of place.

And what he says next may make him even more out of place.

"I see you are a little absent-minded." Gu Yi sat back down again, she blew the tea and said to Strange.

"Sorry, teacher."

"I can see that you have something to say. You don't have to be shy. There is nothing that cannot be said here."

Ancient One's tone always had a calm power, making people involuntarily believe what she said. Strange took a deep breath first, then sighed, and said: "Okay, but this is really too much." It’s hard to speak.”

He looked at the tea leaves swirling in the cup, trying hard to imagine this place as the financial center of Wall Street, and then said: "Here's the thing, we have a plan..."

Having said this, Strange already regretted it. He always felt that he would be thrown out of this place before long.

So he paused, pressed his eyebrows, and tried to persuade himself to continue talking.

"My teacher told me before about how to get along with the Dimensional Demon God. I was quite enlightened after listening to it, so I discussed it with a few friends. They all agreed that the prosperity of the earth today is inseparable from the determination of the Supreme Mage. belief……"

In order to prevent his posture from being too ugly when he was thrown out, Strange still laid the groundwork first.

"But humans have never been a race that sits still and waits for death. We don't want to place all our own safety on the protection of others, so..."

Strange sighed again and said, "I'm sorry, because the next turn may be a bit shocking, you'd better not drink tea."

When Gu Yi heard this, he put down the tea cup, but Wang was distracted when Strange spoke. He was still drinking and sipping slowly. He blew on the hot tea and took a sip. , I heard Strange say: "...We made a financial fraud plan targeting the Dimension Demon."

"puff!"

Wang squirted the tea in his mouth all over the table.

Strange quickly took out a rag to wipe the table, and said helplessly: "I warned you, the next turn may be shocking..."

"But this is too amazing! Ahem!" Wang said, coughing.

Gu Yi was very calm, and even seemed quite interested. She asked Strange: "Financial fraud plan? Tell me in detail."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Strange took out a small projection device from his pocket and put it on the table.

When the three people's eyes were focused on this device, a projection suddenly popped up inside. There was still Strange's face on it. He waved to the camera and said: "Hello, I am Strange, and I am also the narrator of this plan..."

Wang looked at the projection, and then looked at Strange who was sitting next to him. He asked in confusion: "Can't you just sit here and talk to us? Why do you need a projection?"

Strange pointed at the projection and motioned Wang to continue looking down.

At this time, the projection camera paused for a moment. Just when Wang and Gu Yi thought that the lecture was about to begin, the camera suddenly pulled away and filmed the entire conference room. Both sides of the long table were people in suits and leather shoes.

Then, the content in this projected video fully, in detail and concisely explained to Gu Yi and Wang what the Cosmic Demon Financial Fraud Plan was.

The plan discussed in the SHIELD conference room at that time could only be regarded as a prototype. In fact, any such scam involves very complex numerical calculations, such as how to set the requirements for promotion? What should be the ratio of initial investment to later returns? How to arrange the timeline of each step?

Since the four people participating in the discussion had no background in financial education, after completing the prototype of the plan, SHIELD found some powerful financial practitioners to help them improve the plan.

fantuantanshu.

Most of these people were rescued from prison, their moral bottom line had been tested, and many of them had practical operation experience, so the plan soon became very perfect.

They explained how this scam was going to work in the most meticulous and easy-to-understand way possible.

The so-called Ponzi scheme, also known as pyramid selling, is the most classic financial fraud routine and the oldest one. However, among all financial fraud routines, this routine can be said to be enduring and endless, with people engaging in it from generation to generation and being fooled from generation to generation.

Moreover, as this routine has evolved to today, the people who are fooled have changed from the original nouveau riche with low education and no knowledge of economics and finance to young people with knowledge, ability and education.

There are even many people who know that this is a Ponzi scheme, and can even explain the history and principles of this scam, but they still fall for it in the end.

The reason is that this scam accurately attacks the weaknesses in the thinking of intelligent creatures, that is, profit-seeking and fluke mentality.

Low investment, high return, intelligent creatures are always pursuing profits, and many people know that this tower will collapse sooner or later, and they always feel that they will be the one who takes the money and runs away.

After the explanation of these professional financial personnel, this principle has become easier to understand and more feasible.

They cited several examples that had happened before, as well as various variants based on this. Even Wang, who had no interest in finance and economics, listened with great interest.

During the lecture, he occasionally glanced at the Supreme Sorcerer with his peripheral vision. He found that Gu Yi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Wang instinctively leaned to the other side, and found that his other side was Strange, who proposed this plan and was also the future Supreme Sorcerer.

There was a very tacit understanding between the two generations of Supreme Sorcerers, and Wang now had only one idea - the Cosmic Demon, Danger.

After the projection ended, Gu Yi first calmed his mind, and then said: "I didn't expect you to surprise me so much, Stephen."

"Well, I know this plan is unethical, but... wait, surprise???" Strange looked at Gu Yi in confusion, and found that Gu Yi's eyes were indeed full of appreciation and surprise when he looked at him.

Ancient One picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that my previous stories were not told in vain. I really didn't expect that you could find the key to the current situation from these fragmentary stories."

"Uh..." Strange was choked. He actually wanted to ask what the key was, but it was obvious that Ancient One had something else to say.

Ancient One sighed, and then said: "I have mentioned in the story I told before that there are demons in this world, and there are many of them."

"Just like humans, they are wise, can communicate, have their own interests and positions, and have different personalities and personalities."

"They are born strong, have great powers that humans cannot understand, and most of them have their own domains, distributed in various corners of the universe."

"And to explain who they are, we have to mention what is the universe."

Then, Strange learned the truth of the whole world from the story of the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One.
