Chapter 139: Chapter 83: The Invisible Sea of Blood_2

If I miss it, how regrettable would that be?

Will this round continue to double and then double again?

Then the over twenty thousand points I am about to reclaim will become forty thousand points, or even a hundred thousand points!

He began to hesitate over whether to clear his position today.

He was truly shaken.

Adrenaline gradually surged through him.

His heartbeat began to accelerate.

He started finding all sorts of reasons to convince himself.

Liancheng Weiliang is the leading stock, involving an extremely large amount of capital, unlike small-cap stocks like Ansheng Biotech. There’s no reason it would undergo such thrilling and drastic changes.

This kind of large-cap stock is extremely dispersed in ownership, with investors numbering in the millions.

Many people are recklessly diving into the market during these days.

If it takes a dive, how many people will be forced into desperation?

Even if it falls, it would probably only decline gently. I’ll set a 5% stop-loss threshold for myself, and get out in time. Isn’t that a way to avoid major losses?

...

In this terrifying internal struggle, at 9:15, Ren Zhong still gritted his teeth and chose to place a sell order, clearing his position at a peak increase of 611.96%, with a single stock price at 293.4.

At the instant the sell order was executed, Ren Zhong, who was sleeping normally, couldn’t help but shudder all over, scaring Chen Hanyu who was resting her head on his lap.

The excitement, fervor, and conflict within Ren Zhong were no less joyful than when he first led a team to challenge the Battle Blade and won.

But at that moment, he felt more emptiness inside, an emptiness that almost swallowed him whole.

He used great determination to suppress the urge to re-enter the market at a single stock price of 291.5.

What finally prompted him to place the sell order and control his impulse was his profound understanding of the human nature of Source Star.

Those who can manipulate Liancheng Weiliang wouldn’t be ordinary capital, nor would the people behind be anything common.

Such people wouldn’t care about the lives of those ranked below them, including the Scavengers, let alone the Citizens.

...

At 10:30 in the morning, Ren Zhong, who was lying on Chen Hanyu’s lap asleep, suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up abruptly.

In the process of rising, due to his overwhelming shock, his face accidentally brushed past two peaks, with a faint scent of laundry detergent.

The suddenly startled Chen Hanyu blushed, instinctively looking at Ren Zhong beside him with shy, nervous eyes.

Yet she saw an expression of extreme shock in Ren Zhong’s eyes.

"Mr. Ren, what’s wrong?"

Chen Hanyu asked, her face red.

Ren Zhong exhaled deeply, shook his head with a bitter smile, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied perfunctorily, "Nothing."

He put his hand on his chest, controlling the pounding of his heart.

He was both startled and elated, truly having dodged a bullet.

From 9:15 onward, Liancheng Weiliang’s stock price only slightly trembled downwards, fluctuating within a narrow range, rising and falling.

But at 9:30, a large number of orders suddenly appeared with no warning at around a single stock price of 180.

This was simply against common sense, unthinkable!

The plunge began.

This portion of the orders was quickly absorbed.

Then, orders at 160 appeared, again absorbed, but more slowly.

But around 10 o’clock, when orders at 100 appeared, a whole half hour passed without being fully absorbed.

At this time, the sell orders were filled with prices around 100, but the buy orders were empty.

Within just an hour and forty-five minutes, Liancheng Weiliang was halted around 100, halved and halved again.

Everyone was trapped.

Subsequently, it continued to fall, until it reached 80 points, and it was not until a quarter past ten that isolated buyers began to appear.

Everything had already settled.

The forum was initially dead silent.

Then, starting at 10:20, blood-soaked posts began to appear in the forum.

There were Scavengers living in small-town environments, crying about losing everything their parents, wife, and children had saved over ten years, swallowing a bullet in hatred.

There were also citizens living in urban environments, despairing as their accounts were forcibly closed at negative values.

Not only were their Contribution Points gone, but their Credit Points had also fallen into the negatives. They and their wife and daughters had lost their Citizen status.

There were citizens who had incurred high-interest debts and were sending their twelve- or thirteen-year-old daughters to the creditor’s house.

There was also a Scavenger team captain in despair charging towards a Level Five Ruined Beast.

All the equipment on him had been mortgaged to Alson Bank. If he couldn’t kill the Level Five Ruined Beast, by tomorrow he would have nothing. His three wives and seven or eight children would be poisoned by adversaries.

It was either fight or die, so he died.

Seeing these hundreds of desperate posts appear in an instant, rising rapidly, Ren Zhong profoundly realized that the stock market in a cruel society is ten times or a hundred times more perilous than that in a stable one.
