Jinshan Villa District.
Villa No. 66.
Su Yuan successfully returned with a box of investment gold bars worth thirty million.
After putting the gold bars away, Su Yuan sat cross-legged.
He began reviewing everything he had done today.
Since leaving the Jinshan Villa District, his figure had not appeared under surveillance. The mall locker area, which served as the transaction location, had its surveillance disabled for three hours.
As for outside the mall? Every location Su Yuan walked past or stopped at was a blind spot for surveillance.
He left absolutely no trace behind.
The only young woman who had seen Su Yuan...
...was also face-blind and hadn't remembered what Su Yuan looked like at all.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yuan took out the gray mirror and began asking questions.
"When will the matter of me impersonating Dong Guofeng be exposed?"
Su Yuan stared at the gray mirror surface.
Dong Guofeng was that highest-Rank member of the Underground Black Market, currently on vacation in the Maldives.
Su Yuan had used this person's identity to cash in that batch of antique treasures.
The gray mirror surface was hazy and quickly displayed lines of text.
[One month later, the Underground Black Market will contact Dong Guofeng, and Dong Guofeng will learn of this matter.]
"One month?" Su Yuan continued to ask, "What attitude and reaction will Dong Guofeng have? And what actions will he take?"
The gray mirror surface churned, and quickly gave a reply again.
[Dong Guofeng will be baffled upon learning that he supposedly traded a batch of jewelry with the Underground Black Market, and would not believe it unless the person in charge of the Underground Black Market guaranteed it with their life.]
[Dong Guofeng, who reluctantly believes it, begins investigating the cause of the incident. He ultimately only traces the cell phone number that called Old Six Sun back to its owner, Lin Qingxue. After two months of monitoring Lin Qingxue, Dong Guofeng believes that the person who impersonated his membership code was not her. His think tank also speculates that the mastermind likely used hacker methods to invade a nearby base station and randomly selected a phone number to call Old Six Sun.]
[After continuing the deep investigation for another month, Dong Guofeng still finds no useful clues. He can only contact the Underground Black Market again with a frustrated expression to change his membership serial number, from the original SED2384... to HJKFGF124...]
...Watching the lines of text appear on the gray mirror surface.
Su Yuan felt reassured.
In fact, he already knew this result.
Before taking action, he had already learned all the details, process, and outcome of this operation from the gray mirror.
Every action Su Yuan took was carried out according to the answers provided by the gray mirror, eliminating any potential risks or unforeseen variables.
One hour later.
Su Yuan took out his phone and opened the stock market app.
For Su Yuan, who possessed the All-Knowing Mirror, the volatile stock market was almost the same as picking up free money.
Of course, given the lesson learned from the Double Color Ball lottery, Su Yuan would not buy niche stocks.
Even if the answers given by the gray mirror indicated that certain niche stocks would soar tenfold or twentyfold tomorrow.
Su Yuan still wouldn't touch them.
After all, niche stocks with low capitalization are extremely easy for market manipulators to control, and if Su Yuan bought in, the price might plummet.
The manipulators would simply be waiting for Su Yuan to take the fall.
"I'll just follow the general trend."
Su Yuan couldn't be bothered with complicated operations.
The gray mirror showed that the next ten years would be the era of AI, and all industries related to AI would become popular.
Therefore, he directly invested five million and purchased several leading AI stocks.
Getting involved in the stock market was also part of Su Yuan's upcoming plan.
First, it provided an additional way to earn money.
Second, the money earned through the stock market would be legal and legitimate.
It would not be considered money of unknown origin.
There would be no need for special laundering.
He wouldn't need to fear the bank regulatory System.
Previously, Su Yuan had obtained his first batch of funds through various clever methods, such as astronomical bounties and helping elderly people fulfill their dreams.
However, the origin of this money was too coincidental, so Su Yuan dared not let his bank card balance exceed ten million.
He was worried about facing manual auditing by the bank regulatory System.
But the money earned from the stock market would not have this concern.
After buying the stocks recommended by the gray mirror.
Su Yuan took out several books, preparing for in-depth study.
These books were all related to computer information technology.
This era was, after all, the Information Age.
Even if Su Yuan controlled the All-Knowing Mirror, he still needed to be strong enough himself.
And in the Information Age, mastering information technology would undoubtedly bring him enormous help.
Even the strongest Level 4 Lifeform on Blue Star cannot instantly travel from one end of Blue Star to the other.
But the information network could.
Moreover, if Su Yuan possessed sufficiently powerful computer information technology, everything he did in the future would be much more convenient.
For instance, during the recent operation involving the Underground Black Market, he wouldn't have needed to specifically wait for the mall surveillance to fail; he could have simply invaded their information network and blacked out the surveillance.
In any case, besides Cultivating, Su Yuan currently had nothing else to do, so he might as well use the free time.
Learning computer information technology was not difficult for Su Yuan.
Firstly, he was originally a computer major, meaning he already had a foundation.
Secondly, after the first session of Cultivation, Su Yuan's body underwent a complete transformation, and his intelligence increased significantly as well.
Under these circumstances, many problems that he originally couldn't figure out were now easily solved.
Most importantly, Su Yuan had the gray mirror.
If he genuinely encountered a problem he didn't understand, he could simply ask the gray mirror.
Compared to the omniscient gray mirror, the computer experts and professors on Blue Star were practically trash.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Su Yuan received a phone call.
"Sister Wang is calling me?"
Su Yuan looked at the caller ID and immediately understood.
Sister Wang was the owner of the hotpot restaurant where the original body had worked part-time.
During the two years of university, the original body had consistently worked part-time at this hotpot restaurant.
Although it was quite tiring, especially on Saturdays and Sundays when he barely had time to sit down, the pay was slightly higher than other places.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yuan answered the call.
"Is that Su Yuan?"
Sister Wang's voice came through, asking with a hint of worry, "Why haven't you come by these past few days? Did something happen?"
For the past two years, the original body had worked part-time at the hotpot restaurant every summer and winter vacation, rain or shine, without exception.
But since he hadn't gone these last few days, it naturally caught Sister Wang's attention, which is why she called.
"Sister Wang, something came up on my end."
Su Yuan said.
"It's fine. You take care of your business first. You can come back to the hotpot restaurant when you're done."
Sister Wang immediately replied.
The original body was honest and hardworking; every boss likes an employee like that.
"I probably won't be able to go anymore."
Su Yuan replied.
"Can't come anymore?"
Sister Wang seemed slightly surprised, and after a moment of silence, she said, "That's fine too. Come whenever you want in the future."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call.
"The hotpot restaurant..."
Su Yuan's gaze was slightly complicated; that place held almost all of the original body's leisure time.
For one hundred yuan, he could stand outside the shop and shout all day long.
"It's all in the past now."
Su Yuan sighed inwardly.
After possessing the All-Knowing Mirror, his future would be infinitely spectacular.
Time flowed by.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
