"So early?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"Want to sleep a little longer?"

Chen Yihan blushed and shook her head.

"I...I suddenly remembered I have something to do at school."

She picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Qin Luo stopped her.

"Have breakfast before you leave."

"no need!"

Chen Yihan dodged his hand like a startled rabbit.

"I...I made plans with someone!"

After saying that, he rushed out the door as if he were fleeing.

Qin Luo stood there stunned, then burst out laughing.

He walked to the window and saw Chen Yihan staggering towards the entrance of the residential area, as if a ferocious beast was chasing her.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of renting out ten houses and receiving the reward 'Sky Eye Upgraded Version'."

As soon as Chen Yihan left the apartment, Qin Luo heard the system's mechanical and clear notification in his mind.

He sat up abruptly from the sofa, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Upgraded version?"

Qin Luo couldn't wait to ask the system in his mind.

"What's different from before?"

"In addition to retaining the original retrospective function, the upgraded version of Tianyan has added the ability to predict economic trends within the next month, covering financial fields such as stocks, futures, and lotteries."

The system explained in a very formal and methodical manner.

Qin Luo's heart pounded, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the sofa armrest.

He immediately picked up his phone and quickly downloaded several stock trading apps.

The blue light from the screen reflected in his eyes, which were slightly bright with excitement.

"Mindu Power's opening price tomorrow is 18.7 yuan, with a high of 20.3 yuan."

Qin Luo concentrated, and his Heavenly Eye ability was automatically activated, with a series of numbers and trend charts clearly appearing in his mind.

He quickly compared the forecasts and current market conditions of several stocks, his fingers flying across the calculator.

"If this trend continues, this tech stock could rise 23% within three days."

Qin Luo's lips unconsciously curled up, revealing a confident smile.

"System, how much time do I have left to complete the main quest of 5 billion?"

Qin Luo suddenly remembered this goal hanging over his head.

"82 days and 14 hours."

The system provides accurate timekeeping.

Qin Luo stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, his leather shoes tapping rapidly on the floor.

He originally planned to make a big splash in Macau or Las Vegas, but now he has the ability.
"There's absolutely no need to take any risks."

He muttered to himself, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"The financial market is the real money printing machine."

He picked up the financial statements on the coffee table and quickly calculated the available funds.

"Hualong Capital has 2 billion, and I myself have over 300 million."

Qin Luo bit her lower lip.

"It's safer to operate with company funds rather than using your own money."

The phone screen lit up; it was a message from Liu Piaopiao.

"Mr. Qin, the last two apartments were rented out today, and the tenant information has been sent to your email."

Qin Luo gave a soft snort.

"This woman is really inefficient; it took her so long to get it done."

But none of that matters now; all he can think about is how to use his new abilities to make a name for himself in the financial markets.

He needs a reliable helper.

My finger slid across the contacts list and finally stopped at the name "Chen Yihan".

The call was connected very quickly.

"Hey?"

Chen Yihan's voice was wary, clearly still shaken by the previous "ordeal".

"Are you free tonight? Yipinxuan, 7 o'clock."

Qin Luo was straightforward.

"Regarding investments."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Luo immediately turned on his computer and began studying the rules of US stock trading.

The light from the screen shone on his focused face, and time slipped away unnoticed.

The private room at Yipinxuan was filled with the distinctive aroma of red yeast rice, characteristic of Fujian cuisine.

When Chen Yihan pushed the door open and came in, Qin Luo was checking the Nasdaq index on his phone.

"You are six minutes late."

Qin Luo said without looking up.

Chen Yihan put her bag aside and replied irritably.

"Traffic jam on the road. What kind of investment is in such a hurry?"

After the waiter finished serving the dishes and left the private room, Qin Luo put down his phone and looked directly into Chen Yihan's eyes.

"I plan to invest all of Hualong Capital's funds in stocks."

Chen Yihan's chopsticks, which had just picked up a piece of lychee flesh, froze in mid-air.

"How many?"

"Two billion."

With a "thud," the meat on the chopsticks fell back into the plate.

Chen Yihan's eyes widened.

"Are you crazy? Look at the current state of the A-share market..."

"Not the A-shares market."

Qin Luo interrupted her.

"It's US stocks, but it may also involve other international markets."

Chen Yihan put down her chopsticks and placed her hands crossed on the table.

"Qin Luo, I know you've been lucky lately, but betting all two billion? Do you know how risky the US stock market is? Leverage, short selling, circuit breakers."

"I have inside information."

Qin Luo lowered his voice, his eyes unusually firm.

"Absolutely reliable."

Chen Yihan frowned.

"What inside information can guarantee the safety of two billion?"

"I can't say that."

Qin Luo poured her a cup of tea.

"But I can tell you that your funds will at least double within a month."

The private room fell silent for a moment, with only the soft sound of tea being poured into cups.

Chen Yihan stared at the swirling tea leaves in her cup, her brows furrowed.

"What do you need me to do?"

Finally, she looked up and asked.

Qin Luo revealed a confident smile.

"First, I need an absolutely reliable team of traders, at least ten people, with practical experience in US stocks; second, I need to prepare twenty offshore accounts to diversify the funds; third..."

He paused.

"We must not let anyone else know our true intentions about this matter, except for you and me."

Ivy Chen.

"I can contact headhunters to handle the trades, but I'm betting all two billion."

"Believe me."

Qin Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"This time is different."

Chen Yihan tried to pull her hand away as if she had been electrocuted, but Qin Luo held it firmly.

She looked at the unusually serious expression in Qin Luo's eyes and finally sighed.

"I will arrange the interview as soon as possible, but you have to promise me that you will set a stop-loss line."

"of course."

Qin Luo released his hand, his smile widening.

"The first goal is to double the value in one month, and then adjust the strategy as needed."

As they ate, they discussed the details, and Chen Yihan was gradually convinced by Qin Luo's detailed plan.

After dinner, they strolled along the riverbank, the night breeze dispelling the daytime heat.

"I didn't expect you to agree so readily."

Qin Luo looked at the neon lights on the other side of the river and said.

Chen Yihan tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

"Because your eyes are the same as they were at the casino last time."

What kind of look is that?

"It's as if we've already seen the outcome."

Chen Yihan turned to look at him.

"That kind of certainty is hard to refuse."

Qin Luo smiled but remained silent.

His ability to see the results did indeed allow him to see them, but he couldn't say anything about it.

They watched a movie and then ate barbecue at a roadside stall.

On the way back to Chen Yihan's apartment, Qin Luo felt exceptionally relaxed.

"arrive."

Chen Yihan stopped in front of the apartment building.

"I'll start contacting headhunters tomorrow."

Qin Luo nodded, but then suddenly leaned closer. "Won't you invite me up for a cup of tea?"

Chen Yihan took a half step back, her face showing panic.

"It's not convenient today."

"Oh?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

"My period is here."

Chen Yihan finished speaking quickly, turned around, swiped her card, and entered the lobby.

"good night!"

Before the elevator doors closed, Qin Luo saw her cautiously pressing the close button.

He shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the building, a gust of wind blew by, and suddenly something white fell from the sky, landing squarely on Qin Luo's head.

"what the hell"

Qin Luo ripped the thing off and found it was a pair of women's underwear.

He looked up in surprise and was met with a face flushed red with anger.

"Pervert! Give me back my things!"

From the fifth-floor window, a young woman with a ponytail pointed a mop at him.

Before Qin Luo could react, the woman had already rushed downstairs.

He had barely made out that the other person was wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts when a mop came hurtling towards him.

The body reacts before the mind. Qin Luo sidesteps, grabs the mop handle with his right hand, and with a clever move, makes the other person stagger a few steps.

The woman screamed and was about to fall when Qin Luo instinctively tripped her with his leg and caught her back with his left hand, executing a standard over-the-shoulder throw.
"boom!"

The woman fell heavily onto the lawn three meters away, letting out a cry of pain.

"you you."

She curled up, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.

Qin Luo then saw the other person's face clearly and froze on the spot.

"Teacher Su Su?"

It was Su Yue, their newly appointed counselor.

Su Yue struggled to sit up, rubbing her shoulders and glaring at Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo! You actually assaulted your teacher!"

Qin Luo was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Su, I thought it was...that..."

Qin Luo looked completely bewildered.

"What are you"

Su Yue struggled to sit up and suddenly grabbed Qin Luo's arm.

"Caught red-handed! Let's see how you try to deny it this time!"

Her gaze fell on Qin Luo's other hand.

Qin Luo then noticed that he had somehow acquired a pair of women's underwear in his hand. The light pink lace trim was particularly eye-catching under the phone's light.

"Wait! This isn't mine!"

Qin Luo hurriedly explained.

"It just fell from the sky and landed right on my head!"

"Ha, who would believe such nonsense?"

Su Yue sneered.

"At 11 PM, holding a girl's underwear, who else could it be but you?"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, hurried footsteps came from afar.

"Yueyue! Are you alright?"

Liu Piaopiao's voice came first, followed by another female voice.

"Have you caught anyone?"

Qin Luo turned his head and saw Liu Piaopiao and Xiao Ruoxi running over.

Liu Piaopiao was wearing casual clothes with her hair tied up loosely, while Xiao Ruoxi was wearing an elegant dress, clearly having just returned from a live broadcast.

"Sister Piao Piao!"

Su Yue felt like she had seen a savior.

"Help me catch him! He's that pervert who stole underwear!"

Liu Piaopiao's gaze swept back and forth between Qin Luo and Su Yue, finally settling on the pink underwear, her eyebrows raised high.

"Qin Luo, your hobby is quite unique."

Xiao Ruoxi crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"It's not what you think!"

Qin Luo was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"These underwear must have fallen from the sky! I swear!"

Liu Piaopiao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Qin Luo has been away from Mindu for the past few days and just returned today, so the timing doesn't match up."

"Sister Piao Piao, why are you still taking his side?"

Su Yue found it hard to believe.

"The evidence is right in front of us!"

"I"

Just as Qin Luo was about to defend himself, a young woman in her early twenties suddenly rushed out of the building entrance.

"That's my underwear!"

The little girl blushed and pointed to the pink fabric in Qin Luo's hand.

"The clothes I was hanging up just now accidentally fell down, and I saw it land on, uh, this gentleman's head."

The air solidified instantly.

Su Yue's expression changed from anger to shock, and finally settled on embarrassment.

Xiao Ruoxi covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Liu Piaopiao then revealed an expression of "I knew it".

"See! I told you so!"

Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned the underwear to the little girl.

After thanking them, the little girl quickly fled the scene, leaving the four people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Um, Ms. Su, I'm sorry."

Qin Luo scratched his head.

"I hit you a little too hard just now."

Su Yue turned her face away, her ears turning bright red.

"It's not that I was too impulsive."

Liu Piaopiao broke the silence at the opportune moment.

"Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Yueyue, are you badly hurt? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

"No need, I'll just go home and rest."

Su Yue answered softly.

"Then Ruoxi and I will take you back."

Liu Piaopiao helped Su Yue up and turned to Qin Luo.

"Come on over, I have something to tell you."

The four walked silently toward the faculty and staff dormitory.

On the way, a system notification suddenly sounded in Qin Luo's mind.

[Ding! Side quest triggered. Catch the "clothes thief"]

[Task Reward: Beginner's Medical Classics]

[Note: As a landlord, it is your responsibility to protect your tenants' property.]

Qin Luo's eyes lit up.

A medical classic! This is exactly what he needs.

Moreover, the system was unusually considerate this time, and the task perfectly matched his actual situation.

Upon arriving at Su Yue's house, Liu Piaopiao explained.

"In the few days since Qin Luo left, I've rented out the remaining two apartments to Su Yue and Xiao Ruoxi respectively. I never expected that a pervert who steals underwear would appear in the neighborhood recently."

"I lose a pair of my underwear almost every day."

Su Yue added in a low voice, glancing at Qin Luo from time to time, seemingly still embarrassed by the misunderstanding.

Xiao Ruoxi stretched, her snow-white arms dazzling under the light.

"Because I do live streams at night, the lights in my house are always on, so my underwear has never been stolen."

Qin Luo unconsciously glanced at her a few more times, but was stopped by a look from Liu Piaopiao.

"So you set a trap to arrest them?"

Qin Luo asked.

"Yes, we'll take turns keeping watch."

Liu Piaopiao nodded.

"Tonight it's Su Yue's turn, I didn't expect that."

Su Yue's face turned red again.

Liu Piaopiao checked the time.

"It's getting late, Ruoxi and I will head back first. Qin Luo, you stay here and take care of Su Yue, she just fell pretty badly."

"what?"

Su Yue and Qin Luo spoke in unison.

Xiao Ruoxi revealed a meaningful smile and followed Liu Piaopiao outside.

Liu Piaopiao stopped at the door and patted Qin Luo on the shoulder.

"Catch that 'clothes thief,' don't let me down."

She lowered her voice.

"Also, you and Su Yue should resolve your own conflict."

The moment the door closed, Su Yue jumped up like a startled rabbit, keeping as far away from Qin Luo as possible.

"Don't come any closer!"

She grabbed a cushion from the sofa and used it as a weapon.

"Why would Sister Piao Piao leave you alone with me!"

Qin Luo helplessly raised his hands. (End of Chapter)
