Chapter 6 - ​Chapter 6: Dark Pools - When Hell's Exchanges Freeze Over

🌑 ​​[Aftermath of Heavenly Lockdown]​​

Lin Feng stared at the frozen Heavenly Nasdaq terminal:

MARKET HOLIDAY: DAY 7

SOUL MORTGAGE DEFAULT RATE: 91%

$HEVN TOKEN VALUE: 92% CRASH

Outside his ruined SEC tower, shareholders rioted:

​Celestial Bureaucrats: Burning paper money futures certificates ​Demon Investors: Repoing frozen soul fragments with ice picks ​Mortal Crypto Bros: Demanding blockchain-based reincarnation refunds

A drone scraped ice off the window, revealing new hellish headlines:

​​"HELL LIQUIDITY CRISIS: ALL SOUL MINING HALTED"​​

🆘 ​​[Bingqing's Cryonic Prison]​​

Lin Feng hacked into Bingqing's Hellcoin mining feed. The image made him flinch:

Her soul encased in ​subprime spiritual ice​ Output dropping: 5 → 0.5 Hellcoins/hour Auction notice: ​​"Non-performing soul asset: Accepting bids"​​

System prompt:

WARNING: CRITICAL SOUL DEGRADATION

SOLUTIONS: ① Liquidate 10% $HEVN reserves (Yield: 5K Hellcoins) ② Petition Hell Bankruptcy Court (Success: 2%) ③ Dark Pool Soul Swap (Risk: SEC investigation)

Livestream auto-activated:

​​"EMERGENCY: CEO's Soul On Ice! Real-Time Rescue"​​

♟️ ​​[Hell's Quantum Dark Pools]​​

Lin Feng chose ​③​ and descended into ​Hell's OTC Market​ – a frozen wasteland where:

Demon traders moved through quantum tunnels Soul prices flashed in negative interest rates Ice demons patrolled with "SHORT SELLER" branding irons

His guide: ​Frostbroker X-23, a demon with NASDAQ tattoos:

"Heaven's chairman slumming in hell's dark pools? How the mighty freeze."

X-23 revealed the playbook:

TRADE MECHANICS: ✔️ Quantum Entanglement Trading (Simultaneously buy/sell same asset) ✔️ Negative Collateral Loans (Borrow more when asset crashes) ✔️ Soul Fragmentation Swaps (Package junk souls as premium)

🔥 ​​[Thermal Energy Auction]​​

At the ​Hell Exchange Ruins, auctioneers sold the last thermal reserves:

LOT 666: 500 TERMS (Thermal Energy Units)

CURRENT BID: 3,000 Soul Fragments (Ice Demon Syndicate)

X-23 whispered: "That thermal energy could thaw Bingqing's cryonic prison."

Lin Feng placed his bid:

BIDDER: LIN_SEC

OFFER: 51% Heavenly SEC equity

Gasps echoed as the terminal processed:

BID ACCEPTED: WARNING! Equity transfer triggers: ❗ Automatic heavenly deregistration ❗ Jade Emperor's repossession rights ❗ Soul shareholder class action

Livestream viewers voted:

73% APPROVE BID

💎 ​​[Multi-Realm Arbitrage]​​

With the thermal units secured, Lin Feng executed:

​Thermal Transfer: Directed energy to Bingqing's prison (Thaw progress: 17%) ​Quantum Flip: Sold thermal rights to Ice Demons while simultaneously shorting them ​Soul Laundering: Bundled defaulted shareholder souls as "AAA Ice-Protected Assets"

Profit alert:

ARBITRAGE GAIN: 8,000 Hellcoins + 40K Soul Fragments

But terminal flashed:

HELL REGULATOR RAID INBOUND: T-10 MINUTES

🌪️ ​​[Dark Pool Ambush]​​

As Lin Feng prepared to extract Bingqing, Frostbroker X-23 revealed fangs:

"Did you really think hell plays fair?"

The ambush unfolded:

​Thermal Energy Siphoned​ back to Ice Demons ​Bingqing's Cell Refroze​ at double thickness ​Quantum Tunnels Collapsed​ trapping Lin Feng's $HEVN reserves

X-23 laughed: "No arbitrage without... sacrifice."

He projected terms:

SOUL SWAP PROTOCOL: Transfer Bingqing's debt → Accept 200% soul fragmentation

Or leave her frozen till judgment day

⚖️ ​​[The Bankruptcy Hearing]​​

Dragons of Hell Bankruptcy Court descended in blizzards:

​Judge Mammon: Scales made of frozen tears ​Prosecutor: Ice Demon Syndicate ​Evidence: Lin Feng's dark pool trades

Prosecutor roared:

`CHARGES:

Cross-realm market manipulation Soul laundering Thermal energy theft`

Lin Feng's defense:

>> PLAY CEILING BREACH FOOTAGE (Cost: 200K Hellcoins)

Livestream funded it in 9 seconds.

🎥 ​​[The Ice Demon Conspiracy]​​

The footage revealed:

Ice Demons ​overleveraged​ on thermal futures ​Sabotaged​ Hell's core reactors to manufacture scarcity ​Bribed​ bankruptcy judges with frozen soul kickbacks

Judge Mammon's gavel froze mid-swing.

🔄 ​​[The Reverse Thermodynamics Play]​​

Lin Feng seized the moment:

>> INITIATE: NEGATIVE ENTROPY SWAP

COLLATERAL: Jade Emperor's celestial throne (Appraised value: ∞)

The terminal processed:

ACTION: Reverse hell's thermal drain METHOD: Pawn throne → Unfreeze hell's core reactors COST: Throne ownership transfers to Ice Demons on failure

Thermal energy exploded through hell.

🔥 ​​[Thaw Point of No Return]​​

As hell's reactors roared to life:

Thermal units flooded markets → Ice Demon Syndicate imploded Bankruptcy court evaporated → Judge Mammon fled Bingqing's prison melted → But her soul flickered at 1% integrity

Critical alert:

SOUL RECOVERY REQUIRES: ➊ 500K Pure Karma (Heavenly purity standard) ➋ Soul Anchoring Vessel (Rare: Phoenix Feather + Saintess Tears) ➌ Dark Pool Exit Fee (1M Hellcoins in 5 minutes)

Livestream frenzied:

$HEVN TOKEN SURGES 3000% ON HOPE

⚰️ ​​[Triple Chapter-End Peril]​​

Lin Feng faced:

​Karma Famine: Saintess Meng cornered heavenly karma reserves ​Vessel Monopoly: Bingqing's enemies hoarded phoenix feathers ​Crashing Timer: Hellcoin mining still paralyzed

Worse – drone footage revealed:

JADE EMPEROR'S WAR FLEET: ENTERING HELL SPACE

Final choice:

​① [Betrayal Deal]​​ Surrender SEC chair to Jade Emperor (Gain 500K karma)

​② [Soul Sacrifice]​​ Fragment 90% soul to save Bingqing (Permanent damage)

​③ [Quantum Gamble]​​ Merge Bingqing's soul with $HEVN blockchain (Create first Soulcoin)

Bingqing's fading whisper:

"Make me... digital..."
