"You took a risk with this too!"

"Besides, I'm richer than you!"

"Let's just let this matter rest!" Yang Bo shook his head and refused when he saw the two of them say that.
"Yang Bo, I didn't realize you had such an accurate assessment of the international situation?"

“Exactly! I thought you only knew how to play games!” Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin sat down, both dressed in business attire: gray blazers and pencil skirt suits.

"I'm not a fool!"

"I'm just a homebody!"

"I spend all my time online reading news and playing games!" Yang Bo was speechless at their words.
There's nothing wrong with my intelligence, okay? The "otaku" persona just means I don't like going out. Otaku are actually very active online.

"Hehe." Liu Jingxiang and the other woman realized their own stereotypes about Yang Bo and then giggled.

“Take the money we transfer to you. If we ever need money in the future, you can lend it to us,” Zhou Kexin said again.

"Forget it, you guys shouldn't speculate on stocks anymore. Just keep your money safe."

"The stock market is controlled by conglomerates and banks. Some people online say that there are also conglomerates behind the Pirate Alliance."

"This war between the Pirate Alliance and the Federation is something these conglomerates cannot control, which is why they have this opportunity."

“And it will pull back soon,” Yang Bo said.

Financial games are essentially no different from gambling.

"why?"

"Dozens of mineral planets belonging to the Federal Consortium have been attacked, and they won't be able to produce materials for a short time. This process should take quite a while, right?" Zhou Kexin and the other person asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing Yang Bo's answer.

“What you say is true, but would the Alliance and the Empire’s mining companies dare to supply the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh?”

"Mineral planets are all in very remote places. Aren't they afraid of being targeted by the pirate alliance?"

“Right now, mining companies are driving up their stock prices to get others to buy in. Once others have bought in, these mining companies will announce that they will not supply the federal government for security reasons.” Yang Bo shook his head.

"But would the pirate alliance dare to target the alliance and the empire?"

"Aren't they afraid of being jointly attacked by three countries?" Zhou Kexin felt that this made sense, but she also had doubts.

"Of course it's impossible!"

"Where do you think the pirate crew got their warships from?"

"Pirates don't have the ability to build their own warships!"

"The pirate alliance was originally something orchestrated by three countries behind the scenes."

"The governments of all three countries have some shady dealings that they need the pirate crew to handle!"

"Just like when I migrated from Pado to March Star, I was attacked by pirates along the way!"

"Actually, it's because they're afraid that many planets won't want their population to leave."

"I just don't have any evidence!"

"In fact, their approach did work, and many people on Pado cancelled their immigration plans afterward."

"You can also check which companies in the alliance went bankrupt because of pirates, and then these companies were auctioned off and acquired by whom!"

"Why have these conglomerates in the alliance been able to control the alliance for so long?"

"Anyone who challenges them will encounter all sorts of trouble!" Yang Bo did not name any specific company here.

Because if the league simply says this, it won't be considered defamation or anything like that!
Because it doesn't specify which company's name, and because there's no entity listed!

"Uh."

"Alright then, we'll listen to you!" Liu Jingxiang said, glancing at Yang Bo as she spoke.

“We’ll liquidate our futures and stock positions immediately.” Zhou Kexin nodded in agreement.

"Shall we treat you to dinner later?"

“We were able to make so much money this time because we listened to your analysis,” Zhou Kexin and Liu Jingxiang said to Yang Bo.

"I'll send a message to Su Wei and the others in a bit!" Yang Bo nodded.

Yang Bo knew what Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin were thinking, but he had no other feelings for either of them!
Although their attitudes have changed, there were reasons why some things didn't continue in the first place!

Besides, Su Wei and he have such a good relationship. If Su Wei and the other two are willing to accept the two of them, and the two of them are also willing, then Yang Bo will have no problem!
Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin don't resemble Wang Muxue!

Wang Muxue was, after all, a general. Even if the two had some minor conflicts later on, she wouldn't write a long post to publicly reveal their relationship.

However, neither Liu Jingxiang nor Zhou Kexin had any career.

If they get together secretly, what if they have conflicts later?

Then all the hard work you've put into building your public image will collapse!

Once something like this happens in the league, no matter how famous you are, it won't help!
Of course, Yang Bo wasn't without methods, after all, he released spiritual seeds into the two of them!
But I can't possibly kill them both over these things.

"Okay." Zhou Kexin and Liu Jingxiang were speechless when they heard Yang Bo say that.

Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin left Yang Bo's office.

The two glanced at each other and then proceeded to manage their stock and futures accounts, selling all their stocks and futures.

Yang Bo sent messages to Su Wei and the other two!
Li Qiubai came in right after I sent the message!

"Boss!!" Li Qiubai had unbuttoned one more button on his shirt before entering, and his voice sounded a little resentful as he called out to the boss after closing the door!
"Ahem!!!" Yang Bo pretended to be a little embarrassed. Since the other party wanted to play, he would play along.

Yang Bo actually quite likes people with ulterior motives, and people with other identities!

Because people with other identities can do whatever they want without daring to expose themselves.

Just like Catherine, she changes her identity and plays the game in different ways, and the other party can only take the initiative to perform well.

"Is there something you need?" Yang Bo asked, feigning a slight embarrassment after coughing.

"Boss, why aren't you replying to my messages!" Seeing Yang Bo's expression, Li Qiubai felt even more reassured.

"I've always been like this!"

"Only one room in my villa has internet access; the other rooms don't!"

"And when I play games, I also mute everyone." Yang Bo said matter-of-factly!
"Boss, you're amazing!"

"What games do you play? How about you teach me?" Li Qiubai wasn't surprised at all when he heard that Yang Bo, this homebody, was playing games. Instead, he went along with Yang Bo's words!
"That's not right. I have to charge people for playing games with me!" Yang Bo said, glancing at the cleavage on Li Qiubai's chest, though his eyes quickly darted away.

Because in the league's environment, staring at a girl's breasts can be considered sexual harassment.

Yang Bo's performance perfectly captured the essence of a repressed, nerdy guy.

Li Qiubai deliberately puffed out his chest and said in a very soft voice, "Boss, as long as you play games with me, I'll pay you whatever you want!"

"Boss, you've grown from a child raised in an orphanage to a tycoon!"

"You are one of the people I admire most!"

"Then who else do you admire?" Yang Bo asked upon hearing this.

Li Qiubai almost rolled her eyes. Why was this otaku asking such a direct question?

"No one else matters, right now I admire you the most, boss!"

"What games do you play, boss?" Li Qiubai had already discussed this with her superior!

Because it's difficult to get close to Yang Bo in real life, we've decided to do it in the game!
"I mainly play second-world games!"

"There are also mech games!"

"Of course, there are also some single-player games or simulation games!" Yang Bo replied.
"Yeah, I also like playing the Second World game. How about I come find you in the game?" Li Qiubai seized the opportunity.

"Second World Games is probably out of the question. I'm currently stationed at the border of Maple Leaf Country!" Yang Bo shook his head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that Liu Jingxiang had come to knock because she saw Li Qiubai enter Yang Bo's office.

People like Yang Bo are very popular in the league, after all, he is a figure ranked on the rich list!

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Qiubai quickly stood up: "Boss, we'll contact you later!"

The moment Li Qiubai turned around, he buttoned up his clothes and opened the door.

Liu Jingxiang looked at Li Qiubai suspiciously, but couldn't bring herself to ask.

Because the relationships between women in the workplace are like a raging inferno.

There was once an all-female company in the league, but it went bankrupt in less than a month!
Because these women will analyze every word the other person says and watch every move the other person makes!
They start writing long posts online at the slightest disagreement!

Then the other party also wrote a long post!
The result of the magical clash was that the company couldn't continue operating.

The most bizarre thing is that this all-female company uses cleaning robots.

This cleaning robot follows a fixed cleaning route every day.

Some women wrote long posts saying that the cleaning robot always cleans their workstation last, which they felt was discrimination from their bosses because the cleaning robot's cleaning route was determined by the company!
There's even a private office for your boss!

Other female employees also accused her of discrimination!
Some female staff members wear a stronger perfume, and some colleagues make sarcastic remarks about it.

Even who clocks out first gets a long post written about it.

Whoever leaves last will also be the subject of lengthy posts!

In other words, these female employees are all self-centered.

As for why male employees in various companies generally maintain a distance from their male counterparts later on!
Aside from work, we have absolutely no other interaction!
Most female employees also don't write long posts.

On the one hand, these female employees need to go to work to earn money to support their lives.

On the other hand, there are male employees who will start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Because once you're accused of sexual harassment, it's very difficult to clear your name for life. But the charge of assault is much lighter!
In any case, in the league, if a woman causes trouble for a man, the man will immediately beat her up.

Therefore, Liu Jingxiang had no way of asking the other party why they went into the boss's office.

"Yang Bo, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Liu Jingxiang asked, pretending to enter the room. Seeing that Yang Bo was still sitting in his original seat, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Yang Bo's current status and position, women flocked to him, crying and shouting.

"You can discuss it then!" Yang Bo said.

"Why don't we just go to your villa and cook it ourselves?" Liu Jingxiang asked.

"That works too!" Yang Bo thought it was a good idea, because if he brought a few beautiful women into the public eye, some busybodies might leak the information to the media.

In the afternoon, Su Wei and the other two went out to shop with Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin.

The group cooked their own dinner that evening.

While cooking, Su Wei overheard Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin talking about how they made a fortune in stocks after taking Yang Bo's advice, and she glanced at Yang Bo with pride.

Su Wei and the other two girls really admired Yang Bo!

Annie and Sealy were both a little worried because Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin had a complicated relationship with Yang Bo.

The two used to be Yang Bo's agents, but they haven't had much contact since.

But now these two people have a slightly different attitude towards Yang Bo!
A woman's intuition can sometimes be very sharp!

So after Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin left.

Annie and Sealy pinned Yang Bo to the sofa and interrogated him: "Do Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin have feelings for you?"

"What?" Yang Bo stared wide-eyed, looking completely innocent!

"Ah!" Su Wei was also a little surprised. Su Wei was young and naive, and as a former princess, she had not been in contact with any shady people. Annie and Xi Ya, on the other hand, had been in contact with more people and had been involved in women's groups, so they were more perceptive about certain things.

"Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin glanced at you many times while they were cooking together just now!"

“The way they look at you is so different!” Annie and Sia continued.
"I do not know!"

"I don't feel anything!" Yang Bo pretended to be clueless.

Be careful!

"Those two might have ulterior motives for getting close to you." Annie and Sia, seeing Yang Bo's expression, genuinely thought he hadn't noticed!

"Is that really possible?" Su Wei, Yang Bo, and Zhou Kexin were acquaintances before, and Su Wei also knew that Liu Jingxiang and Yang Bo used to have a slightly ambiguous relationship, but they broke up later.

"Su Wei!"

"Yang Bo is so rich and has such a high status now!"

"This would attract a lot of attention from women wherever it's placed!"

"Most women want to get something out of other people."

“Someone like Yang Bo, who is both rich and famous, can only take money privately when something like this happens.”

“Every year, the league news exposes a lot of celebrity scandals, which are only revealed because they couldn’t reach an agreement in private,” Annie and Sealy said to Su Wei.

"Yang Bo!"

"If other women want to pursue you, the three of us wouldn't object."

“But you must get the consent of all three of us, and we’ll also have to investigate!” Su Wei then brought out the old imperial aristocratic system.

While most imperial nobles ostensibly practiced monogamy, in reality, each nobleman had a large number of women.

However, most noblewomen required the tacit approval of the principal wife.

"I never had any other thoughts!" Yang Bo quickly explained.

"Hmph, what if those two actively pursue you?" Su Wei snorted.

"I only go to the company once every ten days or two weeks. How about I bring you guys with me next time?"

"We can't possibly go to the company with you. Anyway, with your abnormal physique, the three of us superpowers definitely can't catch up with your level in a short time!"

"But if any other woman wants to enter our home, all three of us must agree. Besides, you are a person of status and position now, so if you're going to find a woman, you should also find someone of status and position!"

"Don't lower your standards!" Su Wei's words made Yang Bo's eyes widen.

Annie and Sealy quickly nodded!

In fact, the three women had discussed it privately. With Yang Bo's abnormal physique, it was 100% certain that he would find other women.

So the three of them agreed to be strict in their oversight to prevent anyone from ruining Yang Bo with ulterior motives!
"I have nothing to say, I have to go do the experiment!" Yang Bo said quickly, because he couldn't agree to it or refuse it.

If they agree, the three women might think they've been waiting for this opportunity.

If we refuse, they will feel that we are negating the rules they set.

Watching Yang Bo leave, Su Wei said in the tone of the eldest son's wife, "Let's invite Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin out for a talk!"

"Yes, we must figure out their intentions!"

"Let's see if they're after Yang Bo's money and status!" Xi Ya and Annie are also trying their best to maintain their current family!
After entering the laboratory, Yang Bo went to John Lee's warship.

This B-class warship has been quietly here for nearly twenty days.

It's only a day's journey from here to the base of the Raptor Pirates.

Yang Bo's target this time is the B-class warship of the Raptor Pirates.

However, seven days ago, Yang Bo had already lost track of the Raptor Pirates!
Because the Raptor Pirates entered a state of silent navigation after attacking the mineral planet of the Federal Central State!
All the pirate crews have entered silent sailing mode.

This is also a common tactic used by pirates.

Yang Bo wasn't sure if the Fierce Dragon Pirates would take this route, because pirate crews are very cunning and might change course along the way!
Yang Bo then took another stroll around Prince Holden's territory in the Second World.

Prince Holden's territory is bustling with activity!

However, Yang Bo had only been in Prince Holden's territory for a short time when he hurriedly returned to Lee John's fleet!
Yang Bo's Class B warship was docked in a crater on a small planet with a diameter of 1,500 kilometers.

This small planet has only one-twentieth the gravity of a standard planet!

Warships can land on planets!
Whether a warship can dock on a planet depends entirely on the planet's gravity and environment!

Yang Bo's warship is currently in a silent state, but its passive radar is activated.

The passive radar detected a series of regular energy fluctuation signals!
In fact, energy fluctuations in the universe are very frequent.

Passive radar needs to filter through these energy fluctuation data.

The energy signal captured by the passive radar, after analysis, indicates that it belongs to a warship!
Because Yang Bo's warship was inside a meteorite crater, the area that passive radar signals could receive was limited.

And this planet is still rotating!

Yang Bo quickly opened the nearby star map and then determined the location where the energy fluctuations were released!
"Huh?" Yang Bo discovered that the energy fluctuation was located three million kilometers away from him!
There is also an asteroid in that place. Yang Bo had planned to ambush there from the beginning, but considering the distance, the Dragon Pirates' route is relatively close, only 2.1 million kilometers. The Dragon Pirates might send fighter jets or other reconnaissance equipment to investigate in advance!
Since I could determine the enemy's location through the back door of their warship, I retreated my own warship three million kilometers!
Because adding another three million kilometers to the original distance would put us outside the safe zone!

Because it's impossible for a pirate fleet to scan all the planets and meteorites within a five-million-kilometer diameter of their route.

"Who is it?" Yang Bo was very curious!
"Could it be a competitor?" Yang Bo waited patiently!

Because Yang Bo's B-class warship was placed in a meteorite crater, the passive radar's reception range was very small. Therefore, it would have to wait for the planet to rotate to that direction again before it could continue to receive passive radar signals!

Four hours later, Yang Bo obtained another set of energy detection data!
"These guys were indeed lying in ambush on that asteroid."

"Moreover, judging from the energy fluctuations, there is only one warship."

"I'm going to see who it is!"

"Who exactly is targeting the Raptors Pirates?"

"Could it be another pirate group?" Yang Bo was very curious because the energy fluctuations of the other party also resembled those of a warship.

Once the planet rotated, Yang Bo used spatial teleportation to leave the warship and arrive inside the meteorite crater!
Yang Bo seized the opportunity and teleported to another asteroid.

Yang Bo intends to use the asteroid as a springboard, or more precisely, to use it to shield himself from the energy fluctuations of his space travel!
The target's location has been determined, so as long as the point where you appear after spatial movement is separated from the target by a small star, it will be difficult for the other party to detect your spatial energy fluctuations!
Although spatial energy fluctuations can occur anywhere and the other party may not be able to notice them, one should still be careful in everything they do.

Yang Bo used four spatial teleportations before landing on the target asteroid.

This asteroid is only 1,200 kilometers in diameter and has only one-ninth the gravity of a standard planet!

Yang Bo appeared in the sky on the other side of the other planet.

Then it goes invisible.

Four hours later, Yang Bo finally spotted a Class B warship inside the asteroid's crater!
"The warship of the Fierce Dragon Pirates!" This warship was also quietly in the crater. The moment Yang Bo saw the appearance of the warship, he knew what kind of warship it was!

"The B-class warship of the Raptor Pirates is here to pick you up."

"That means the Raptors Pirates will still go this way!"

"No wonder the Raptor Pirates are one of the top pirate crews!"

"These guys claim to have only one Class B warship."

"If anyone tries to target or track the Raptors Pirates!"

"We will be attacked from both sides by this B-class warship on this asteroid and the ships in front."

"Looks like the Raptors Pirates are coming back!"

"Luckily I arrived twenty days early. If I had waited for this guy to arrive, I would have had to ambush him!" Yang Bo instantly understood why a B-class warship of the Fierce Dragon Pirates would appear here.

"hey-hey!!!"

"I didn't expect a buy-one-get-one-free deal!" Yang Bo waited until the planet rotated and he could no longer see the B-class warship before returning to his own warship. Then Yang Bo was delighted and prepared to stage another scene of a single mech capturing a B-class warship.
