Protagonist:

Chen Yi

A one-bedroom, one-living-room graduate dormitory was already considered the best suite, but it was still a dormitory in the end.

And after a simple renovation, the other bed in the bedroom was already piled full of bedding and boxes.

The luggage sent by several senior students at the risk of their lives was considerable in quantity; the small file cabinet could not possibly hold it all no matter what.

Therefore, it looked like Chen Yi would also have to sleep on the same small bed tonight.

Jin Douna's body swaying frequency was very special, making it very easy for one to focus their gaze on certain parts.

Chen Yi understood her meaning, slapped that perky buttocks hard, savored that extremely elastic feel, and then said: "Stay here obediently, I'll sleep outside."

Jin Douna stared stunned as he went out the door, her heart a mix of a hundred flavors.

Although she had prepared herself to offer her body from the moment she accepted the mission, voluntary and forced were ultimately worlds apart.

Her current efforts were merely a last resort when there was no other way.

Chen Yi was naturally not going because he suddenly felt the call of the Lord or Allah, nor would he be biased because of God's boredom; he was preparing to head to the Saint Qiao Kingdom.

Jin Douna, turning over in the room, did not know the situation outside; Chen Yi quietly prepared his things and left the dormitory building soundlessly.

The H Building Complex at night was lively like a festival.

Children who had just changed to new dormitories or just arrived at the school excitedly exchanged opinions and expressed thoughts, like monkeys newly added to a group. Only Building No. 2 appeared somewhat out of place among the brightly lit building complex.

It seemed as if it had been completely renovated; the corridors and rooms were filled with the smell of paint and chemical pigments.

Many people had heard about the afternoon battle; the blood water in the elevator was the main cause of panic. Although the announcement called it a brawl and the responsible parties were dealt with, for students far from home, bleeding was still somewhat distant. Although some people put their minds at ease, it was ultimately not exactly happy, so the atmosphere was relatively weaker.

Chen Yi, munching on Green Breath Berries, with a black backpack slung over his shoulder, passed through the empty residential area.

Today there were quite a few parents coming and going, students were also entering and exiting casually; the security guard looked at him and dutifully reminded: "Doors lock at 11 PM."

"Got it, thanks." Chen Yi smiled. Ever since eating the Green Breath Berry, life had become much more sunny. The world always seemed to be in a harmonious state for the most part.

Getting into a taxi, Tang Xiongfei's call came again, shouting: "Mr. Chen, Mellon has decided to provide us with 350x leverage, but requires us to keep the funds in their bank."

"How much to deposit?"

"30 million US dollars. Not counted in the margin account."

Not in the margin account, this money was equivalent to normal savings. But for the bank, knowing the client has money is a prerequisite for approving a loan.

Once needed, this money can naturally serve as a resource for margin calls.

Speaking of it, they are still worried that lending too much will cause irrecoverable losses.

What banks fear most are companies declaring bankruptcy.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then said: "Our money is all used for margin and it's still not enough; how much do we have now?"

"24 million US dollars." Tang Xiongfei answered very proudly. A month ago, Gold Source International was just a small broken company starting with 100,000 US dollars; now, although there are still only three people, the significance is vastly different.

24 million US dollars, theoretically able to borrow 8.4 billion, counts as a small crocodile on the New York Stock Exchange.

Chen Yi thought and said: "Ignore them for today, wait until tomorrow to talk."

"Use 325x leverage first?"

"Correct. Also, you go contact other banks." Chen Yi said, saying: "As long as a bank is willing to give 200x leverage, we'll use it."

"Understood." Tang Xiongfei knew this was Chen Yi considering sharing the bank's pressure.

A single bank's strength is limited after all. From their perspective, a single large client's huge loan amount is both a good thing and a bad thing. History proves that even the best mathematical models have times when they cannot calculate accurately; catastrophic events like financial crises or wars, though rare, are ultimately possible. And once they occur, they will always cause some incautious financial institutions to fall into difficulty.

And when facing 350x leverage, if they don't want to find ways to control risk, once the counterparty company makes a catastrophic mistake — even if a trader's hand slips — it could cause difficult-to-recover losses to the bank itself.

Therefore, when facing high returns and high risk, banks often act hesitantly — afraid of offending the client, yet not daring to establish their own risk control on the other party's foundation.

Chen Yi's choice was to give up a small amount of short-term profit and borrow from other banks, which was equivalent to helping the bank solve the contradiction.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Xiongfei thought a bit strangely: This master should have never touched the financial industry before, now holding tens of millions of US dollars, yet not a shred of hesitation, could there really be such a thing as talent?

He also thought at the same time, 350x leverage and 200x leverage differ by a whole fold; even taking out three to five million, in a short time one would earn three to five hundred thousand US dollars less; if it were him, would he have the determination to make such a decision?

Tang Xiongfei was actually lost in thought for a moment.

Midsummer had passed; rolling down the car window, a gentle breeze brushed past.

Chen Yi looked at the pitch-black sky outside, also thinking many things.

"Arrived at Binhe Road." The driver reminded.

"Thanks." Chen Yi slung his shoulder bag and got off the car.

Entering the subway station, following the password box inside, he took out a packet of perfume stored there.

These are all Chinese-produced pure natural perfumes — according to the labels, that is; as for true or false, in the Saint Qiao Kingdom, one measurement with the Classification Technique would reveal the truth.

The subway arrived on time.

Grendel and his four Kingdom Knights had been waiting there for a long time.

Since the Saint Qiao Kingdom's situation improved, as a traditional magic strong nation, their battlefield main force gradually became Mages. The Knights therefore also had a relatively long vacation.

If not for this, how could a Holy Knight and five Kingdom Knights be left idling inside a Magic Tower.

Chen Yi naturally didn't know these things; he shoved a small box of perfume out the subway gate and immediately asked: "Holy Knight Adult, trouble you to look at my current state."

"Okay." Grendel immediately circulated Shenjia.

The light curtain of the subway gate had a certain resolution ability, easily letting Grendel's Shenjia drill inside and patrol around Chen Yi.

A few minutes later, Grendel laughed happily: "Congratulations Master, your main body is already Body Technique 9th Rank."

"The abundant power I feel, is it indeed Battle Qi?"

"Yes." Grendel said, raising a ball of flame outside his body, saying: "You see, if you can absorb Battle Qi and store it in your body, then use it out, that would be Battle Qi 1st Rank."

He spoke as he let go of the flame, smiling: "The abundant Qi you sense is precisely the power of the Magic Net; let your body slowly merge with the Magic Net, and you can utilize the Magic Net's energy and make it fill your body."

"We'll practice in a moment." Chen Yi smiled reassuringly, then turned and said: "Mage Timothy."

"Master." Timothy is a Grand Mage; he basically works in the upper levels of the Mage Tower, and only came to wait because he knew the Subway was about to arrive.

As for the Saint Qiao Kingdom's daily magical affairs, the Red Robe Mages naturally handle them.

Chen Yi pondered for a while, then asked: "Mage, how is the Saint Qiao Kingdom's situation right now?"

Hearing his inquiry, Timothy felt a sudden joy in his heart.

The Master caring about the Saint Qiao Kingdom — nothing could be better.

He didn't know whether Chen Yi himself could investigate everything happening on the Continent, so he simply laid it out one by one: "The Saint Qiao Kingdom is currently fighting on three fronts; only the southern coastline remains safe."

"On the Western Front, our main opponents are the Allied Forces led by the Saipoga Principality; they used to be our tributary state, but because they were corrupted by those Wizards, they have now become our enemies. However, the Kingdom Mages hold an overwhelming advantage over them."

"On the Northern Front, it is the Barbarian Army formed by the Beastman Empires; their combat power is fierce, but their magical ability is weaker. As long as we hold Cold Wind Fortress, we can continuously strike them with various magics." Timothy paused, then continued: "Due to the Beastmen's characteristics, mages below the Wizard level cannot deal decisive blows to Beastman warriors; at Cold Wind Fortress they often cannot function, and their speed often forces us to consume large quantities of Scrolls. In the past we often needed Knights to fill the gaps with their lives……"

Hearing this, the Kingdom Knights' eyes all reddened.

They are mid-to-high-ranking Knights, yet still need to personally be at the war's front lines; among their subordinates, confidants, even relatives and friends dying on the sand field is a perfectly natural thing.

And in the Saint Qiao Kingdom, which operates on a rotation system, the cruelty of the Northern Front war is something everyone has personally experienced.

Timothy's tone remained calm as he said: "Now with large quantities of mid-to-high-level Scrolls, we can finally let Magic Apprentices play a role; the Kingdom's magical foundation is very good, and in the recent three months, thousands of Magic Apprentices have gone to the battlefield, playing an important role in fortress defense battles, and freeing our High-level Mages."

Chen Yi nodded, indicating he was listening.

Several Kingdom Knights also listened with rapt attention. At their rank, under normal circumstances they would not have the qualification to hear news from the other front.

Timothy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, and continued: "The Oslu Empire in the East is a Knight Empire; their elemental mages form a school of their own, not too strong, but they tie up much of our energy. On the whole, however, the war situation is not intense at present."

Chen Yi propped his cheek and thought for a moment, then said: "So it seems you lack the strength to counterattack?"

Timothy hesitated, looked at the surrounding Kingdom Knights, coughed once, and said: "Red Robe Sand, take the Knights down to rest first."

Everyone hurriedly withdrew, leaving only the two Mages and Holy Knight Grendel in the Mage Tower upper level, vast as a plaza.

Only then did Timothy say: "Master, the counterattack plan will determine the Kingdom's fate……"

"I understand." Chen Yi said unconcernedly: "You don't need to tell me the details, just speak of the general aspects."

"Yes." Timothy didn't dare truly withhold it, and hurriedly said: "We plan to counterattack on the Western Front or the Northern Front; both aspects have their pros and cons……"

Chen Yi interrupted: "How long?"

"About 3 months from now."

Chen Yi gave an "Mm," and said: "So you still have reserves of strength?"

"All thanks to the Master's benevolence……"

"If you attack the Saipoga Principality and seize some Skill Copy Scrolls, what resources do you need?" This was Chen Yi's true objective.
