The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

"I hope Mr. Xu can be gentler next time."

Ekaterina's voice disappeared as the elevator doors closed.

Xu Yun stood in the elevator, a slight smile playing on her lips.

He touched the USB drive in his pocket—it was something Ekaterina had "accidentally" left behind, and the system message suggested it might be bait.

However, he has no plans to study it for the time being.

At the same time, the system still gave a lot of rewards for this time of freedom. The auction gave a permanent Treasure Appraisal Expert skill, which can identify all cultural relics.

As for his affair with the Russian woman, the reward was a direct cash prize of 1000 million!
To be honest, Xu Yun didn't expect her to be so valuable; it seems to have a lot to do with her status.

With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the cruise ship's lower deck.

Lin Zhengyu had been waiting by the shuttle boat for a long time.

"Oh, all done?"

Lin Zhengyu winked and said, "I thought Russian beauties would keep you until the morning."

"You think I'm like you?"

Xu Yun rolled his eyes at him, stepped onto the shuttle boat, and casually asked, "Is the bronze cauldron all arranged?"

"Don't worry, it has already been transported back to China through special channels."

Lin Zhengyu patted his chest and laughed, "The old man was overjoyed when he found out; he said the slap was well done."

"How will you thank me?"

"How about I sleep with you tonight?"

"roll!"

The shuttle boat cut through the dark sea, carrying everyone back to Xu Yun's luxury yacht.

On the boat, Xinuo and Yu Xuan were still awake, waiting for him.

"Are you even human? Don't you have a conscience?"

Lin Zhengyu shook his head and teased, "You're having a good time outside, leaving two poor women on the boat waiting for your return. They're practically turning into statues waiting for their husbands."

"none of your business."

As soon as he finished speaking...

"Xu Yun!"

Hino burst out of the cabin like a joyful little bird, hugged Xu Yun tightly, and exclaimed happily, "You're finally back!"

Yu Xuan stood behind her, her face full of worry.

Xu Yun reached out and ruffled her hair: "Worried?"

"No, I didn't."

Xinuo was a little stubborn, but her tense shoulders visibly relaxed as she smiled and said, "It's just that Sister Yu Xuan has been quite worried about you."

"I didn't!"

Hino immediately protested, "It's obvious, Sister Yu Xuan, you were standing on the deck all night looking in the direction of the Black Pearl!"

"..."

Yu Xuan's face turned red instantly.

Xu Yun laughed loudly, "Alright, go to sleep now. Tomorrow, after we dock, I'll show you all around Huangjing Port."

"it is good."

……

The port city is full of vitality in the early morning.

Xu Yun and his group strolled along the seaside promenade, the salty sea breeze caressing their faces, while fishing boats were setting sail one after another in the distance.

"Xu Yun, look over there!"

Hino suddenly pointed to the sea and said, "It looks like there are fish glowing!"

Following her gaze, everyone saw blue-green fluorescence shimmering beneath the surface of the sea, as if stars had fallen into the ocean.

"That's Noctiluca scintillans."

Lin Wanzhou explained from the side, "It's a kind of bioluminescent plankton."

"wrong."

Xu Yun squinted and shook his head, saying, "That's not algae, it's real fish glowing."

"???" Everyone was puzzled.

Xu Yun once again used the system's intelligence function and quickly obtained the relevant information.

This is a special marine creature called a genetically mutated bioluminescent fish school.

It glows because it contains fluorescent symbiotic bacteria, and can be used in medical contrast agents and environmental pollution monitoring.

If the host collects samples and registers patents, the future commercial value is expected to exceed 100 billion RMB.

"Holy crap, it's worth that much?"

Xu Yun's eyes lit up, and he turned to Lin Zhengyu, saying, "Isn't your family one of the three major shareholders here? You must be very familiar with this place. Contact the port immediately and help me rent a research vessel!"

"what?"

Lin Zhengyu looked bewildered and asked, "You're not planning to go out on a boat and catch a few to keep as pets, are you?"

"Play?"

Xu Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a treasure that can revolutionize medical imaging technology. I can share this good news with you."

As he spoke, he recounted the information the system had just given him to Lin Zhengyu.

Lin Zhengyu was skeptical after hearing this, but still chose to believe him.

Two hours later, a well-equipped oceanographic research vessel sailed out of the port.

Besides Xu Yun and his group, there were also several marine biologists urgently summoned by Lin Zhengyu on board.

"Mr. Xu, are you sure what you just saw was fish bioluminescence?"

An elderly professor wearing thick glasses asked skeptically, "Fish with bioluminescence are extremely rare in nature."

"Absolutely true."

Xu Yun stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze fixed on the sea: "It's in this area of ​​the sea just ahead."

The research vessel cruised slowly, its sonar system scanning the seabed.

Suddenly, countless bright spots appeared on the console screen.

"School of fish spotted!" a crew member shouted.

The crowd gathered around the boat and saw a dreamlike blue light shimmering beneath the surface of the sea. Hundreds and thousands of palm-sized silver fish swam in the water, each with a bright fluorescent band on its sides.

"Oh my god!"

Upon seeing this, the old professor was so excited he almost fell off the boat, exclaiming, "This...this is definitely a new species!"

While the other assistants were frantically preparing the sampling equipment, Xu Yun had already quietly redeemed the system's [Marine Life Sampling Kit].

An ordinary-looking fishing rod appeared in his hand, but the fishing rod was actually made of nanomaterials and had a miniature sampler.

"Let me try."

Xu Yun cast his line with ease, and the line landed precisely in the center of the school of fish.

"Mr. Xu, you won't catch him like this."

Before a young researcher could even speak, Xu Yun flicked his wrist, and several glowing silver fish were caught and wriggled onto the deck.

"..."

All the scientists were dumbfounded.

Xu Yun's technique was as effortless as fishing in his own pond.

Xinuo, Yu Xuan, Lin Zhengyu, and the others standing nearby were also somewhat bewildered.

Wait, what hand is this guy holding the fishing rod with?
How come they didn't notice it just now?

"What are you standing there for?"

Xu Yun laughed, "Hurry up and take samples for research, or you'll die later."

The oceanographers then realized what was happening and, with their assistants, rushed forward to place the fish into a specially designed tank.

Strangely, as soon as these fish leave the water, the light on their bodies gradually dims and eventually disappears completely.

Women are naturally interested in things that glow. Yu Xuan observed them curiously and said, "It seems that they only glow in the sea."

Not entirely.

Xu Yun spoke mysteriously, taking out a small bottle from his pocket containing several tiny luminous objects.

"These are symbiotic bacteria in their bodies, which can still glow for 48 hours after being removed from water."

"what?!"

The old professor snatched the bottle from him, his hands trembling, and asked in shock, "How...how did you separate it?"

"Trade secret."

Xu Yun blinked and smiled, "The key point is that this bacterium can survive outside the body and maintain its bioluminescent properties, which means..."

"This means it can be artificially cultivated!"

The old professor, his face flushed with excitement, exclaimed, "Mr. Xu, this could be one of the most significant biological discoveries of this century! Medical imaging, environmental pollution monitoring!"

Lin Zhengyu finally realized: "So this thing is very valuable?"

“Of course, otherwise why would I arrest it?” Xu Yun patted his shoulder and said, “The finder gets a share. This matter is entrusted to you. Have your company’s legal team start preparing global patent applications.”

"No problem, the marine biology experts who came today are from our company."

Lin Zhengyu said, "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter when we get back."

A moment later, Xinuo came over and said, "Xu Yun, can I take a few of these little fish back to the yacht to keep as pets? They're so beautiful!"

"of course can."

Xu Yun affectionately pinched her cheek: "I've already had a specially made aquarium prepared on the yacht."

"Thank you." Xinuo happily leaned in and kissed Xu Yun on the cheek.

That evening, Xu Yun held a small party on the deck of his yacht to celebrate this major discovery.

The scientists excitedly discussed their research plans, while Xu Yun leaned against the railing, gazing at the shimmering sea in the distance.

How did you know those fish were so special?

Lin Wanzhou walked up to him with a glass of champagne in her hand, feeling very curious.

"Because I've seen it before."

Xu Yun took a sip of wine and lied, "So I knew its value. I never expected to encounter it again, especially such a large group. I deserve to be rich."

Lin Wanzhou: "..."

"Xu Yun!"

Lin Zhengyu suddenly walked out of the cabin, holding a tablet computer, and said, "I just received a message that the Malaysian Marine Research Institute has sent an invitation to cooperate in the research of bioluminescent fish schools!"

“Tell them that cooperation is possible, but the patent rights and commercial development rights must belong to us.”

Xu Yun said, "In addition, the shareholders of this project will not use my name, but Xinuo's name, and they will hold my shares on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyu almost choked, "You're not going to give her all the profits from this project, are you?"

"why not?"

Xu Yun smiled and said, "She discovered this, so it's reasonable to give it to her."

"..."

Lin Zhengyu shook his head: "I've noticed that you really trust your women, and you let them manage everything for you."

"If you don't even trust your own woman, wouldn't that be a huge failure?"

Lin Zhengyu: "..."

The party lasted until late at night.

After everyone had left, Xu Yun stood alone at the stern, watching the magnificent trail left by the yacht cutting through the shimmering sea.

This accidental discovery will bring him another multi-billion dollar industry.

And all of this began with the glowing sea that Hino accidentally saw.

Life is full of surprises.

Xu Yun never expected that he could find money just by taking a casual stroll.

Most importantly, life abroad seems much more exciting than back home. We've only traveled a short distance, and we're already encountering pirates and mysterious schools of fish—such fascinating things.

……

The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains into the gaming room.

The yacht has been sailing at sea for half a month.

Xu Yun stretched and glanced at his phone—more than a dozen unread messages, all from Ning Qian, Liang Yan, Su Mu, and several other women, reporting on their businesses.

These strong, independent women of mine just can't stand seeing me happy.

Xu Yun replied to their messages in a group chat.

"Well done, keep it up!"

At that moment, Lin Zhengyu sent a voice message: "Xu Yun, your patent for the glowing fish has passed the preliminary examination! The Malaysian side is urging us to sign the cooperation agreement. Should we sign it now?"

"Sign it, it's up to you."

Xu Yun chuckled, put down her phone, and got up to open the French windows.

On the deck of the yacht downstairs, Yu Xuan was practicing fighting techniques.

Xu Yun casually grabbed a bath towel and tossed it over: "Catch!"

Yu Xuan reacted very quickly and caught it with her backhand.

"Good skills."

Xu Yun praised, "It seems you've learned all the fighting techniques I taught you last night."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she recalled the "personalized instruction" she received at the gym the previous night.

Boss, you're getting more and more sophisticated.

"Forehead--"

Lin Wanzhou came to the deck and said awkwardly, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Xu Yun: "You know that too?"

"Then I'll come back later."

"No need, Brother Lin."

Seeing this, Yu Xuan said, "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room first."

"Old Lin."

Xu Yun walked over with some curiosity and asked with a smile, "You look so anxious, what's wrong?"

"You should go and try to persuade your woman."

Lin Wanzhou said speechlessly, "If we don't go now, I'm afraid we won't have anywhere to get food in the future."

"what happened?"

"It's all because Xinuo insisted on learning to cook and making porridge in the kitchen."

Lin Wanzhou lowered her voice, "Three pots of rice have already been ruined."

Before the words were even finished, the yacht's alarm suddenly blared, and thick smoke billowed out of the kitchen window.

"look."

Lin Wanzhou looked towards the kitchen and said, "This time it's even more serious."

"(⊙o⊙)..."

When Xu Yun rushed in, he ran into Xinuo, who was covered in soot and holding a frying pan. A clump of charred material in the pan was still emitting green smoke.

"This time, it really was just a hair's breadth away!"

Xinuo blinked her bright blue eyes, trying to block the exploding rice cooker on the stove with her body, not wanting Xu Yun to see her masterpiece.

At this moment, Xu Yun helplessly grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her aside. Just as he turned off the stove, he heard Lin Zhengyu burst into laughter behind him: "Xu Yun! Your little darling has turned rice into a biological weapon!"

"No, I just didn't operate it correctly!"

Xinuo said to Lin Zhengyu with dissatisfaction, "Stop talking nonsense. Xu Yun will not believe you."

Xu Yun: "..."

Half an hour later, everyone sat around in the newly cleaned restaurant.

Xinuo brought Yu Xuan over, along with the freshly cooked congee with preserved egg and lean pork, muttering under her breath, "The steps are exactly the same..."

"Yes, the steps are all the same."

Lin Zhengyu continued to tease, "But you turned it into a bomb, hahaha."

"you……"

Xinuo glared at him, her face contorted with anger and embarrassment, then turned to Xu Yun with a wronged expression and said, "Husband, he bullied me!"

"It's alright, I'll avenge you."

Xu Yun picked up a small steamed bun with her chopsticks and threw it into Lin Zhengyu's bowl: "Eat your food."

Turning his head, he saw Xinuo secretly slipping a crumpled piece of paper into his bag. When he unfolded it, it turned out to be a crooked "Declaration of Waiver of Equity in the Glowing Fish Project"—this silly girl actually wanted to return all the billions of patents to him.

Xu Yun asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know how to do business, I don't want this."

"Snapped!"

Xu Yun flicked her smooth forehead and laughed, "You found the fish yourself, so you're the boss."

Just as Xinuo was about to argue, Xu Yun's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Chen Xin.

It was only a few words.

"Xu Yun, my grandmother has passed away."

Xu Yun's expression changed.

Everyone noticed his unusual behavior.

Sitting to the side, Xinuo asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Find the nearest city to dock immediately."

Xu Yun said to Lin Wanzhou, "We're preparing to return to China." (End of Chapter)
