Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The precious metal most beloved by the world's people is undoubtedly gold. Therefore, although platinum prices are high, hoarding still centers on gold.

Chen Yi used Nine Oxen Two Tigers' worth of effort to gradually obtain 1,400 tons of gold, yet the roughly 800 tons of platinum were exchanged without much trouble — the resources sent over by the West River Association yielded copper as the first currency, and platinum as the second.

Since it was a one-to-one exchange, Fu Polin didn't care whether it was gold bonds or platinum vouchers; he exchanged whatever he received and stored it immediately. The entire process neither took time nor cost money.

Naturally, the new figures added to Chen Yi's bank account every day could make one's heartbeat accelerate. 100 tons brought in 25 billion, and whether he converted it into US dollars, euros, yen, or futures bonds and equities, it required the entire Gold Source Company to work a whole morning to complete.

Those watching Chen Yi naturally noticed this capital flow. But since Chen Yi didn't default and stop the gold bond redemption, the central bank couldn't be the first to violate regulations.

Thus, large sums of cash began flowing into Chen Yi's pockets, giving those pessimistic about him an illusion — as if Chen Yi's goal was simply to convert gold into cash without loss.

This sum was truly not small; if all precious metals were converted to cash, it would yield nearly 500 billion yuan, about 60 billion US dollars, equivalent to the UK's annual military expenditure, or India's year-and-a-half of military spending.

Chen Ye, who had been following Chen Yi and tracking the Jiangning Head Office's bond sales, silently calculated the accounts, then suddenly took a sharp breath and said: "You've become China's richest man?"

Chen Yi gave him a strange sidelong glance, returned his gaze to the desk, and calmly swiped Shenjia: "If I weren't China's Prime Minister, that would be the abnormal phenomenon, right?"

He controlled the resources of Another World and the transaction system between the two worlds; if he couldn't make money even so, that would be truly stupid. Moreover, China's profitable industries all belong to the state; if they didn't spend money just as easily, private enterprises would have to expend two or three times the Kung Fu to reach today's extent. Of course, state-owned enterprises wasting money is an inevitable phenomenon, destined from the day they were established.

Jin Douna knocked "Bang Bang" twice on the door, bent down, and took away the signed documents from the floor.

Chen Ye's small eyes followed that slender waist as it swayed twice; he sighed with emotion. He was the Chen Family's eldest grandson, also the backbone who entered the Political Circle earliest to develop, and originally not on the same level as the self-made Chen Yi.

Now, it seemed they weren't on the same level either.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yi raised his head to glance at him, then lowered it again, busy with the "Swiping Shenjia" project — from another aspect, meticulous administrative work.

Chen Ye felt the sensation of being watched by the old master, forced a smile, and said: "The air is really stuffy today."

Once the words were spoken, he wanted to slap himself. Chatting about such a boring thing as the weather, how could he say it out loud.

Chen Yi acted as if he hadn't heard, one hand signing while the other flung documents, movements skilled and smooth like a professional signer, or a Chinese judge.

Normal Divine Art Knights, after reaching Level 2 Divine Art, rarely wholeheartedly seek to improve Shenjia anymore — efficiency is too low. Generally speaking, a Divine Art Knight who can reach Level 3 Divine Art in 30 years counts as having extremely good luck, so ordinary knights don't pursue celebrations with large numbers of devout believers.

In other words, ordinary Divine Art Knights fundamentally lack the awareness that they must have high-level Divine Art.

But here, the constant increase of Shenjia made Chen Yi feel that promotion was a matter of course. Speaking of it, the number 3 is so small it can't be smaller; how can it be treated as a final goal.

Chen Yi's initial goal is to swipe enough Level 3 Divine Art Shenjia in another week.

Just a speed several thousand times faster than West Continent People.

The "rustle" of pen on paper and the "pop pop" of stamping disturbed Chen Ye until he couldn't sit or lie still.

He had a terrible feeling of being back at School.

Like writing "My Dad" in a Chinese exam, that terrible feeling of not knowing where to start.

"Bang Bang"

Someone knocked lightly on the door again.

Jin Douna then pushed open the double wooden doors and said: "The Knights have arrived."

West Continent matters don't fall within the Chen Family's contact scope; Chen Ye, feeling pardoned, hurriedly said: "I'll go out for a cup of Coffee, you guys talk."

Fourteen Knights of imposing bearing brushed past him, all tall White People in appearance, scanning Chen Ye with disdainful eyes.

For the Knights, power is the source of everything, dedication, and goal.

The magical things on Earth surprised them, but couldn't make them feel Admiration.

Chen Ye flared up with anger, glared at the Knight beside him without the slightest Fear, and went outside resentfully.

The Prince Party hates foreigners the most!

Outside the window, rain began to fall crackling, and it was a sudden downpour without prelude.

Perhaps, the stuffy heat was the prelude to the downpour.

Just like a Bloody Mary in a Bar, often foreshadowing the night's crackling.

In the office packed with fourteen burly men, Chen Yi was explaining today's precautions.

He held a pen in one hand signing, the other hand stamping and flinging documents, not even looking at the Knights, merely narrating: "This will be your most important night, the opportunity to become Divine Art Knights. We estimate 500,000 to 1.5 million people will watch the fireworks gala; exactly how many depends on your luck……"

Yes, a fireworks gala.

Without a doubt, this is absolutely a low-devoutness ritual.

Few people would watch a fireworks performance from start to finish, but those willing to watch are not few either — at least far more than those at Buddhist and Taoist ceremonies.

For the Knights of the Water Dragon Temple and Fire Dragon Temple, who are destined to become Divine Art Knights, there's no need to waste the believers' devout hearts.

Chen Yi spoke slowly and leisurely, occasionally pausing — that was from glancing at a document for a few more seconds.

The Knights listened with incomparable anxiety, like bachelors who just bought a wife, wishing they could pounce on her through the clothes and take a bite first.

Divine Art Knights and such are far more alluring than a Beauty in clothes.

Yet Chen Yi wouldn't waste his own time because of the Knights' anxious mood; his pauses and phrasing were for his own convenience. Fortunately, several Knights used high-grade Konjac, otherwise they would certainly have missed something.

"Go." After 20 minutes, Chen Yi finished speaking what could have been said in 3 minutes.

"Thank you, Divine Art Knight." All 14 knelt down.

Chen Yi finally raised his head, glanced at them, his gaze sharp enough to be unbearable.

He focused Shenjia on his eyes, more dazzling than looking at the sun on Earth.

The Knights hurriedly lowered their heads.

"You are all Knights selected by your respective temples, so I won't make excessive demands. However, if you're willing to make some vows, I think there would still be Benefits……" When Chen Yi smiled, he still carried quite the Airs.

His words were vague, not demanding the Knights must vow, therefore not violating his own oath.

What kind of vow to make, and whether they truly abide by it after vowing — that's another matter. However, Knights' vows are usually reliable, at least far more reliable than Chinese People's contracts.

Knights who stand out in the fierce competition of the Temple are all clever people to a man. Hearing Chen Yi's words, they tacitly understood and retreated backwards.

Of the 14 Combat Knights, at most 10 can become Divine Art Knights; the key to success or failure lies in the matter of the oath, perhaps.

In the evening, when gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky and ten thousand people were admiring them, Chen Yi led 6 Divine Art Knights of the Yin Sen Family and secretly swam toward the open sea.

Direction.

East Sea Fleet.

This is one of China's three major fleets, and also the earliest established military force. It possesses numerous missile destroyers, missile frigates, and submarines; if engaged head-on, whether missiles or torpedoes, both could cause massive casualties. 30mm anti-aircraft guns depressed for concentrated rapid fire also produce a barrage with considerable defensive effect.

Among the 6 Divine Art Knights accompanying Chen Yi, Yin Sen Guan and Yin Sen Sheng, who lack defensive divine arts, would find it hard to withstand more than two anti-ship missiles; even relatively low-power short-range precision-guided missiles would be very dangerous if encountered.

Similarly, large-caliber naval guns, torpedoes, naval mines, cluster bombs, and heavy bombs are all dangerous weapons capable of causing death, but compared to missiles their hit rate is relatively lower, making them less dangerous instead.

The Divine Art Knights have all studied Chinese, read newspapers, books, and watched TV; they know how terrifying a fleet is. At roughly 30 kilometers distance, they began to slowly decelerate.

"We really should take a ship out, then swim the rest of the way when we're close." Yin Senyong spouted a long column of water like a whale, took a deep breath, then buried his head in the waves again. This method conserves stamina.

Chen Yi has the divine art "Freedom of Movement"; his athletic ability in water is unaffected in any way. Following behind as if treading waves, he slightly raised his head and said: "Every ship has a record; if we took a boat out, we'd easily be suspected afterward."

Yin Senchen said helplessly: "For over 1000 tons of gold and platinum, is it necessary to deploy 6 Divine Art Knights? Counting you, that's seven."

Chen Yi showed his head and said in surprise: "Suppose I didn't deploy 6 Divine Art Knights, what would you do?"

"Watch a movie!"

"Cultivate!

"Make love!" This was Yin Senpi speaking; he's a super handsome guy, and moreover a Three Divine Technique Knight. The former means he can casually find women; the latter indicates he has nothing to do.

Chen Yi spread his hands in the waves and said: "So you understand……"

The Yin Sen knights swam silently for two li, then suddenly one slapped his forehead and cried out in shock: "Heavens, have I become a useless Divine Art Knight?"

Chen Yi shrugged.

Yin Sen Guan made a "Hush" sound and said: "Quiet, the sonar will hear."

Yin Senyong immediately imitated a dolphin's shriek.

Chen Yi slapped his forehead. Teaching the Divine Knight Corps unity and cooperation is harder than teaching a rhino to repair clocks. Fortunately their combat strength is formidable; we'll just charge ahead single-mindedly.
