The device Lu Chen made was primarily for its ability to manipulate Dark Energy. With this capability, combined with Lu Chen's computational power and some recent deductions from the Knowledge Vault, Lu Chen could now achieve many things.
Just like now!
In front of Lu Chen, a small ripple suddenly appeared.
A moment later, a small piece of metal was ejected from the ripple, landing in Lu Chen's palm.
Micro-wormhole transportation technology!
This was the technology Lu Chen was currently using.
His powerful computational ability allowed Lu Chen to calculate various necessary algorithms and directly record data in his mind.
Now, combined with Dark Energy, various micro-wormhole transportation formulas, and some results deduced by the Knowledge Vault, Lu Chen could successfully employ micro-wormhole transportation technology.
Although there were still many drawbacks due to the limitations of the device itself, still...
"It's barely usable. With this bit of Dark Energy, I might be able to start trying some other methods too!"
After a pause, Lu Chen added, "However, before that, I need to solve another problem!"
Lu Chen was out of money!
Chapter 9: Even a Demon...
Scientific research requires money!
The materials and equipment needed for the small device Lu Chen made earlier had consumed almost all of Lu Chen's savings. Lu Chen had to earn some money to fund his new plan.
Regarding this, Lu Chen had considered activities that transmigrators typically choose, such as doing business, stocks, or lotteries, but he rejected them all!
Doing business is not something that yields quick returns. If you think you can become a billionaire by coming up with one or two inventions, or even with no capital at all, you are definitely overthinking it.
It involves many aspects!
Moreover, the cycle is too long. A product takes a considerable amount of time from production, testing, certification, promotion, to release.
Lu Chen could consider it in the future, but he really couldn't wait now. Lu Chen first needed quick money before thinking about earning slow money.
Stocks: The people on Wall Street play too dirty. Making a small amount of money is possible, but a large amount is problematic. In this regard, computational ability is not absolute!
Furthermore, Lu Chen had run out of money and had no starting capital.
Lottery: Although Lu Chen had not memorized any past winning numbers, he had calculated that the probability was still very low—useless!
Finally, some guys in Hell's Kitchen got unlucky!
Hell's Kitchen is a place rampant with gangs. In such a place, there are inevitably many special transactions, and these transactions are all conducted in cash.
You don't use checks or credit cards when dealing with people.
It's all cash.
Moreover, it's the kind of old, non-sequential banknotes that cannot be traced to their origin or flow.
This provided convenience for Lu Chen!
One after another, acts of 'chivalry' began!
And it was very profitable!
On good nights, he could earn one to two hundred thousand, or even four to five hundred thousand!
...
In an abandoned factory in Hell's Kitchen, two groups of people were cautiously conducting some indescribable transaction.
Their appearances were a little strange, though.
"Fuck, hurry up, or that demon will come out again!" A Black man with a lisp, chewing on a weed-filled cigarette and exhaling light blue smoke, frantically yet fearfully said to the person in front of him.
"Alright!"
The person in front of him also agreed!
Recently, Hell's Kitchen had been anything but peaceful. According to their peers, a demon had appeared in Hell's Kitchen, specializing in preying on other criminals. Countless people had fallen victim.
Although both men had brought one or two dozen people each, and everyone was armed, it still didn't give them much sense of security.
Let's just get this done quickly!
The two reached a consensus, then each gave a look to their subordinates. Two subordinates, who had already prepared, took two boxes out of a car and walked to the middle of the two groups.
The boxes were opened, revealing their contents to each other!
On one side was a box full of old banknotes, probably worth over a million!
On the other side, it was all white powder, what it was, was self-evident!
Recently, the commotion had been quite significant, and the market's supply had decreased considerably due to the heightened vigilance.
This time, they planned to do a large deal.
On one hand, to reduce future transaction frequency and mitigate future risks; on the other hand, to make a huge profit at this time.
Currently, due to the reduced supply, prices on the market had increased by about 20%.
After both showed their boxes to the other, under the watchful eyes of their respective bosses, they pushed the boxes to each other for verification.
Even with the threat of a demon, this process was very slow; no one wanted to get fake goods.
About five minutes later, the process finally concluded.
The two people inspecting the goods nodded to their respective bosses. At this point, the nerves and muscles of both groups finally relaxed, and their hands moved slightly away from their gun muzzles.
They were worried about the demon, but also worried about the other side double-crossing them. This shipment was very large, and they couldn't afford any losses.
Now that everything was confirmed to be fine, both groups breathed a sigh of relief.
They picked up the other party's goods, intending to leave immediately.
But just then, a voice suddenly appeared.
"Look what I found?"
The voice was so abrupt, and so chilling.
