The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 358: Magical Uses of the Golden Elixir

Xiunuo temporarily left New York.

He returned to Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals in Los Angeles.

Some things still need some time to ferment.

In Jia Yu's office, Jia Yu was discussing something with Xiong En when Xiu Nuo walked in.

Seeing Xiu Nuo coming back, Xiong En quickly stood up and said, "Boss! How about we open an electric power company?"

Xiu Nuo looked at Jia Yu in confusion and asked curiously, "What happened to him?"

Jia Yu pushed his glasses and said, "I saw that they were making money."

"Make money?" Xiong En said seriously: "That's robbing money!"

"What happened."

"New York." Jia Yu said, "The first company to restore power was Exxon. They completed the emergency repairs before the city government-controlled power company and the federal power company."

Xiu Nuo nodded slightly: "What's wrong with this matter?"

Power did get restored to some places in Queens and Brooklyn before Shuno left.

But Manhattan is different. It will take time to restore power supply inside.

Jia Yu said, “Before answering this question, boss, you need to know that there are a large number of private power companies in America.”

"I know. Everything here can be private."

Jia Yu continued, "Also, the price of electricity varies depending on the weather and energy source. For example, electricity generated by coal and oil is more expensive than wind power."

"What on earth are you going to say?"

"I would say that on average, it's about 13 cents per kilowatt-hour, but guess what Exxon is charging for a kilowatt-hour right now, based on the prices that just came out today."

Xiu Nuo smiled: "I know this, just guess high, it has increased a hundred times, thirteen dollars per kilowatt-hour?"

Jia Yu smiled.

Xiong En also laughed.

Xiu Nuo was stunned: "You guessed too little? Two hundred times?"

But looking at the expressions of the two, Xiu Nuo's mouth twitched: "Don't tell me it's 130 US dollars per kilowatt-hour. They can increase it a thousand times!"

Jia Yu said with emotion: "Boss, sometimes I doubt that you are such a kind person. The electricity price of Edson Power Company is now $270 per kilowatt-hour. It is 2076 times lower than the usual price."

Xiu Nuo was stunned: "What year is it now?"

"Anyway, this multiple is higher than the previous year." Jia Yu said with emotion: "This price has continued to rise since the power supply was restored in New York. Their initial price was $26 per kilowatt-hour, which has increased by times. This was the peak price when the snowstorm occurred in Texas before you came to America."

"But even at this price, there are still countless people willing to pay. Then they followed the example of Europe and directly raised the electricity price a thousand times. However, even so, the pressure on electricity is still huge. Today, they simply raised the price to more than two hundred dollars. Wait, if other power companies have not repaired the lines and completed the power supply in the next few days, I think it will not be a problem for the price to exceed five hundred dollars per kilowatt-hour."

"Five hundred? Impossible?"

Jia Yu spread his hands and said, "Now in New York, a fully charged 10,000 mAh power bank can be sold for 500 US dollars, and there is not even one kilowatt-hour of electricity in it. This thing is more valuable than contraband in New York now!

Many people rushed into New York to sell this stuff. It was a first-come, first-served business. Of course, the premise was that they didn't get robbed.

Especially for black people, those unopened power banks in supermarkets have become hard currency. And stealing those things is definitely not a felony, but it can bring the benefits that only felonies can bring. "

But it was obvious that Jia Yu was still too conservative.

Because after Xiong En listened to the whole thing, he suddenly said, "Why can't other power companies maintain the same price after they have repaired it?"

To be honest, Jia Yu was stunned by these words.

Xiong En said as if it was a matter of course: "There are eight million people in New York. So many people use electricity. It's not something that can be solved by a few power companies. In the free market, demand determines the price. Isn't this normal? If you want cheaper electricity, let the city government and the federal government repair their lines and supply electricity. We run a company, not a charity. If we think it's too expensive, we won't use it."

Xiu Nuo and Jia Yu looked at Xiong En at the same time.

This made Xiong En feel a little unconfident: "Did I say something wrong?"

Jia Yu shook his head and said with emotion: "No, it's my fault, Xiong En. I am not a capitalist after all. You are."

"I'm a politician. Well, I can be a boss after I retire." Xiong En looked at the two of them and said, "That's why I said, how about starting an electricity supply company? Who knows if there will be more natural disasters in the future? Or you can buy one."

"Now that the New York Stock Exchange is closed, many energy companies make their money by selling energy and trading stocks. They have a lot of money parked in the New York Stock Exchange. We'll see, if the New York Stock Exchange suddenly closes for a week without any warning, I wonder how many companies will be in trouble."

"If the New York Stock Exchange is closed for one more day, some companies will probably go bankrupt."

Xiu Nuo looked at Jia Yu.

Jia Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing wrong with the news from Xiong En. This time, many people will lose all their money. For those financial companies that can't survive without real industries, their funds are transferred from left hand to right hand, then to left foot, then to right foot, and then back to left hand."

"During this process, the money will gradually increase, but now, suddenly the money in your left hand cannot be moved, and your right hand has no money to use. It's okay if it takes a short time, but if it takes a long time, you will lose money if you can afford the penalty and interest, and those who can't pay will have to go bankrupt."

Xiu Nuo asked, "What if the New York Stock Exchange is repaired? The money will be returned sooner or later. I thought that if it was gone, it would only cause some unrest among those who have no money."

Jia Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that simple. Finance is all about time. When the short-selling institutions on Wall Street were fighting with retail investors, they pulled out the Internet cables when they saw they couldn't win, causing the retail investors to collapse. It was all about the time difference."

"If you don't have money now, you don't have money. It has nothing to do with whether you will have money in the future. If you don't have money, you will go bankrupt. There are many examples of companies going bankrupt because of broken capital chains, such as being delayed by others and not paying them."

Xiu Nuo thought about it, then waved his hand: "Forget it, I have no idea about money, you guys can handle this matter yourselves."

Jia Yu said, "But the boss has the money with you."

Xiu Nuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Waiting for me here?"

Jia Yu chuckled and said, "All the money laundering channels have been found. Now we just need the money. The second underground phase has not been dug yet."

"Never mind that, just follow me."

Xiu Nuo said as he led them to the second phase of the project which was still being excavated. The reservoirs here had been dug and were full.

Xiu Nuo looked at the situation here and said with emotion; "This is too slow."

Jia Yu was helpless: "This is still the efficiency of a large number of workers in the homeless shelter. If you really rely on the construction team, sometimes they won't work even if they don't want overtime pay."

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Xiunuo said as he moved a little forward.

The next moment, a large amount of soil and rocks began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiong En stared at the scene in a daze.

After a while, a huge underground space appeared.

Then, Xiunuo waved his hand, and piles of US dollars, gold bars, and bearer bonds appeared here.

Xiu Nuo looked at them and said, "You guys handle it yourselves. I'll go do my own thing."

Xiu Nuo left, but Xiong En was stunned.

Xiong En didn't react until Jia Yu waved his hand in front of him.

He grabbed Jia Yu and said excitedly: "Sir, you are God, right? He must be God!"

Jia Yu was dizzy, but he still said, "Calm down, Xiong En, calm down. The boss is not God."

"Oh fuck!! If this isn't God then what is it!"

"Is there only one God in the world? There are so many myths."

"Then the gentleman must not be a human being, right?"

Jia Yu: “.”

"Forget it, just understand it this way." Jia Yu said and called Dake: "Mr. Dake, here comes a job. We have a large amount of funds that need to be laundered."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Yu shook Xiong En and said, "Hey, Xiong En, don't look at the money, think about it."

Xiong En was stunned: "What are you thinking about?"

"You only know who is swimming naked when the tide goes out, right? Think about it, what companies are we going to buy next!"

"what?"

"What? Think about it, we now have all the money from the Jewish consortiums. Now we have to use the money from the consortium to buy their companies!"

Jia Yu was obviously a little excited when he said this: "This money should have been used in the stock market. We used their money to fight them in the stock market, but they backed down too quickly. However, it seems more direct to use it here."

Xiunuo returned to his alchemy hut.

A lot has been transformed here over the past year.

This also makes the steampunk-style alchemy furnaces that Xiunuo left behind seem somewhat out of place with everything here.

Xiunuo was sitting cross-legged in front of those electronic devices at this time, and a ray of divine thought emerged from above Xiunuo's head.

The biggest difference between the Jindan stage and the Jiedan stage is that the Jindan has been formed, and this is Xiunuo’s true body.

The body is just the body.

Although it is impossible to achieve the indestructibility of the physical body like the Nascent Soul, the survival of the Golden Core has gradually become independent of the physical body.

Among them, the release of soul and spirit is the most fundamental change.

In the past, when Xiunuo explored that online world, he could only use his spiritual sense to enter. To be honest, that thing was too brain-consuming and he couldn't understand it.

But now it was different. Xiunuo's soul entered the computer in front of him, and the next moment he felt suddenly enlightened!
A whole new world appeared before him.

Countless pieces of information flashed before his eyes.

Different from the countless 0s and 1s that entered with the consciousness, when the soul entered this world, everything seemed to materialize along with Xiunuo's thoughts.

For example, the firewall of this computer is really a wall in front of Xiunuo.

Xiunuo raised his hand, and the wall shattered instantly.

After all the walls were broken, Xiunuo raised his hand and a bottle of Coke appeared in his hand.

If someone is in front of a computer, they will find a string of garbled characters appearing on the computer screen.

If you open the graphics software, this string of garbled characters will turn into a picture of Coke.

Xiunuo studied here for a long time, and then he found a series of wide roads appearing in front of him.

It seemed like there was a whole new world behind that wide road.

As soon as Xiunuo set foot on this strange road, he immediately noticed that the connection between his soul and body was beginning to weaken.

The next moment, Xiu Nuo in front of the computer suddenly opened his eyes.

Then Xiunuo let out a long sigh.

Damn it, luckily I was cautious and set up the soul-returning formation in advance.

Otherwise, before the national destiny could kill me, I would have almost killed myself!

Xiunuo already knew what those roads were; that thing should be the Internet.

Xiunuo almost ran from this computer's network to the Internet.

If that were the case, who knows where his soul would be pulled to, and he himself could not guarantee that he could come back.

If you get lost in there, even if you can find your way back, you don’t know what your body will become.

After all, the golden elixir is not the Nascent Soul. Although the Nascent Soul also relies on the physical body, the Nascent Soul can reshape the physical body, so even if the physical body is gone, it is not a big problem.

However, if the physical body is gone, the golden elixir will be a great tonic for this world with depleted spiritual energy.

Xiunuo also laughed at this time, and then his soul entered his mobile phone.

After a moment, Xiunuo's soul returned to his body and he looked at his mobile phone with satisfaction.

Now, forget about anyone monitoring this thing, and don't carry around those encrypted phones anymore.

Xiunuo can also strengthen the database of Dark Gold Pharmaceutical.

When Xiunuo entered the cyber world, it was like a high-latitude observation of a low-latitude. Those electronic devices no longer held any secrets for him.

The only disadvantage is that I can’t walk freely now, so those things have to be with me.

In order to conduct experiments, Xiunuo left his alchemy hut.

He was flying over Los Angeles and soon spotted a shiny silver, ugly Smart car.

Xiunuo's body appeared in the car. As his spiritual sense penetrated into the car, Xiunuo's mind moved, and the car started.

Now Xiunuo can only modify a single independent electronic product.

The situation is somewhat similar to local memory hanging, which is to modify one's own data and then send it to the server.

Although his account will not be banned, the restriction is that Xiunuo must have access to the data.

Unless Xiunuo is not afraid of death.

However, it is enough for the time being.

Next time you send something, it won’t be so troublesome.

No one can find out who they are.

Even some things don’t require the cooperation of some TV stations.

Once you find their server, you can no longer control what they send.

If Xiunuo were to reach Nascent Soul stage, he would be able to freely explore the online world.

But in this world, we have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so the online world is not that important, right?
What would happen to those people even if Xiunuo stood on the White House and urinated inside?

Shaking his head, Xiunuo threw away these thoughts. After all, he could go now.

However, Nascent Soul is not one's final destination.

Judging from the current fortunes of the United States, it has great potential, at least helping itself to ascend is not a problem!
District 51.

Bob looked at Robin and Catherine with a dark face: "You really know how to choose a place!"

Just now, Robin and Catherine were found in the archives room.

That place was clearly beyond Robin's authority.

Area 51 stores a large number of files, including electronic files and even more paper files.

And Robin is out to find this thing.

He knew that the rain was special when he was in the command room, but he didn't understand what was special about it.

Therefore, when Berlick leaves Area 51 and goes to the Pentagon, Robin must take action.

As for the mess in New York, just the crash of the new World Trade Center, Robin was worried that Berlick would be completely locked up in Area 51 and temporarily out of service.

Even though it was a bit risky, today he had no choice but to drag Catherine into the archive room.

But just as they were looking for information, they were discovered.

It was Major General Morgan who was standing next to Bob at this time.

Robin was a little dissatisfied: "This place is full of camera Bob."

Bob's face darkened: "Do you think there is nothing in the archives room?"

"At least that place must be visible. There are so many files blocking it."

"How the hell did you get in there Morris!"

Robin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I followed the staff in. It's not difficult for a super soldier. I just went in and knocked him out."

Bob looked at Morgan.

The latter sneered: "He is right. When I found out, the two of them were already biting each other, and their clothes were almost torn off. However, I don't think a super soldier would go into the archives room just for this."

Catherine sneered and said, "You mean, I should let you know that I fell in love with the man who raped me?"

Morgan shook his head. "That's not what a super soldier should do."

Catherine said disdainfully, "Get lost. I'm not like you super soldiers who use drugs. Even without drugs, I can beat up Phase 4. Who do you think you are?"

Morgan looked at Catherine and said, "I know you are a recruit. I hope you can call me sir when you talk to me."

Catherine looked at Bob and asked in confusion, "Didn't you tell him how I killed my chief?"

Bob looked grim.

Catherine looked at Morgan with a smile: "I think I've seen you on TV before, Rear Admiral, right?"

Morgan raised his neck slightly.

Catherine smiled and said, "Obviously, you don't know all my information. Thank you, Bob, for not showing all my files to these people. Major General Morgan, do you know Brigadier General Todd?"

"Todd from the Air Force. He's in charge of Luke Air Force Base. Of course I know him."

Catherine smiled even more happily: "I killed him, I don't mind making my kill more valuable."

Morgan's face turned cold instantly: "New recruit, you are looking for death!"

Robin took a step forward and looked at Morgan coldly: "To be honest, I have never lost against five phases."

"Shut up!" Bob yelled, "What are you doing!"

"I think there's something wrong with them." Morgan said calmly, "Bob, Bolick is leaving this place to you, you'd better not cause any trouble."

Catherine said calmly, "I just want to kill those who cause trouble for me."

Robin spread his hands: "I have a bad temper too, don't I?"

"Catherine, Morris, that's not the place you should go! Go back to your rooms and don't leave until the general comes back! Morgan, thank you, but this matter ends here. Everything will be discussed after the general comes back."

Although both parties were extremely dissatisfied at this time, they had no choice but to leave.

Morgan even said provocatively: "A new recruit with a nice figure."

Catherine turned back suddenly: "I will dig out your eyes sooner or later!"

After they separated, Catherine whispered in front of her door: "You'd better be worthy of my efforts, Robin. What did you see before you overturned those shelves?"

Robin said in a low voice: "Some truth! The people in Phoenix City may never get out! Catherine, we may have to find a way to fight our way out of here."
