Chapter 1 A Bold Idea

At that moment, a bold idea flashed through Su Mo's mind.

With his decade-plus of gaming experience, he couldn't be wrong.

So Su Mo got up, walked to the closet, and pulled out a hooded black windbreaker.

Before long, Su Mo, wrapped up tightly and wearing a scarf and mask, walked out of the room.

Han Na, who was watching TV in the living room, was startled to see Su Mo dressed like this.

"Su Mo, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, just going out for a bit."

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Are you afraid people will recognize you, or what? You're not planning on doing something bad, are you?"

Han Na looked at Su Mo with a mischievous grin.

Su Mo didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Zhang Wenjing, who was sitting on the sofa reading, looked up and said casually, "What's the big deal? He's somewhat of a celebrity now. Can he go out without being careful?"

"Oh, that makes sense. I forgot about that. Then be careful out there, don't get kidnapped by your fans."

Han Na thought for a moment and said with a look of realization.

Su Mo was speechless. He didn't argue with Han Na and went straight out.

--------------------------------------------------

At the largest Federal Bank in the Imperial Capital's center, top-of-the-line luxury cars drove in, and helicopters landed in the sky from time to time.

Inside the landing pad, Qian Chengxue walked down with Sun Li and a short-haired woman with glasses (financial accountant Liu Mei).

Qian Chengxue walked quickly toward the Federal Bank, her face not looking good. Just as they were developing the Yuechuan Plains and mining gold, the price of gold points fluctuated and began to fall for some reason.

Normally, this wouldn't be anything, but the problem was that as the situation within the Star Ring became increasingly chaotic, many players wanted to cash out their gold points, so they sold them off in large quantities.

As a result, the price of gold points plummeted.

The official directly suspended the direct purchase and recycling channels, temporarily entrusting the gold points to free trading, which further deepened the vicious cycle.

Sun Li and Liu Mei exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Soon, the three entered the Federal Bank lobby. As soon as they stepped inside, in the bank employee waiting room.

An operator gave a reminder.

"Attention everyone, Miss Qian Chengxue, the tenth daughter of the Dawn Group, has arrived at our bank to conduct business."

"I'll take her!"

"Let me handle it!"

.....

One professional employee after another, wearing uniform attire, scrambled to go out to receive the client and conduct business.

"What are you arguing about? Everyone will get a number," said a business supervisor in a suit with his hair neatly combed.

So everyone quieted down.

"Little Li, you go and greet her."

"Thank you, Supervisor."

A very beautiful girl with a well-proportioned figure replied excitedly.

"Sigh..."

The waiting employees next to her all wore bitter expressions.

Just then, the operator's voice raised a decibel as he reported.

"Attention everyone, Mr. Xiao Jie, a Black Diamond VIP client and a top-tier wealthy individual ranked in the top one thousand of the world's personal rankings, has arrived at our bank to conduct business."

"Supervisor, give him to me..."

"Supervisor, please assign me to entertain him."

.....

The entire reception room was in an uproar.

Inside the Federal Bank lobby, Qian Chengxue and the others had just entered when a very beautiful female employee walked up to them and bowed respectfully to Qian Chengxue.

"Esteemed customer, how can I help you?"

"Take me to the Gold Point Exchange Area."

Qian Chengxue said simply.

"Okay, please follow me."

The girl in front of her quickly led Qian Chengxue toward the exchange area.

Before long, they entered a side hall. A total of one hundred large trading windows were open in the entire exchange area, each crowded with people.

"Why are there so many people?"

Qian Chengxue was also surprised.

"Due to the large fluctuations in the exchange rate, there are many people queuing up in the Gold Point Exchange Area right now, but ninety-nine percent of them are listing for sale."

"What's the current exchange rate?"

"The current exchange rate for gold points has fallen to 1003 yuan."

"That's so low! Sister Xue, what do we do? Are we still selling?"

Sun Li was also dumbfounded.

Qian Chengxue unconsciously clenched her left hand into a fist. Originally, calculated at a rate of 2000, she hadn't even recouped the money she mined.

Now it had dropped by nearly half, how could she exchange it?

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Ye Xue."

Ye Xue turned her head and saw Xiao Jie appear behind her.

"What are you doing here?"

Qian Chengxue asked doubtfully.

"I just came here to do some business, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental..."

Xiao Jie showed a gentlemanly smile and naturally began to greet Qian Chengxue.

.......

At the front entrance of the Federal Bank, an out-of-place taxi drove up and parked at the gate.

The handsome security guard standing ramrod straight at the entrance showed a strange look when he saw the taxi. However, his professionalism quickly restored him to normal.

He knew that this job was very hard to come by.

Inside the taxi, an uncle with a cigarette in his mouth said to Su Mo, "We're here, brother. That's 5 yuan total."

"Here."

Su Mo handed over a bill and got out of the car.

Just as Su Mo was about to leave, the uncle in the taxi kindly reminded him.

"Brother, let me tell you, the people who come to this place are either rich or noble. Don't do anything rash, you have a long life ahead of you."

Su Mo was dumbfounded. What do you mean, don't do anything rash? That's just bizarre.

At that moment, the uncle stepped on the gas and left.

At this time, the security guard at the door looked at Su Mo with caution, but due to the rules, he did not go up to question him, after all, the customer is God.

However, when Su Mo saw the look in the security guard's eyes, he immediately realized what was going on, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Did he really look that much like a robber?

In this day and age, anyone who robs the Federal Bank must have had their brains kicked by a donkey.

Su Mo sighed and walked inside.

Along the way, he encountered many top wealthy individuals and upper-class people conducting business.

They all subconsciously looked at Su Mo with curiosity, because Su Mo, wrapped up like that, was too conspicuous.

Fortunately, most people had good manners. They just looked at him with curiosity and didn't have much interest.

Before long, Su Mo also entered the bank lobby.

In the waiting room, the computer automatically captured faces and began to identify them.

The operator called out, "Commoner, asset index below ten thousand."

At this time, a very dramatic scene occurred. The employees waiting to be assigned a number all turned their heads to the side, and no one volunteered.

They knew that they could only be assigned about three times a day at most, and they could not handle much business with this type of customer.

They couldn't get much business points at all, and they wouldn't be able to complete their performance goals by the end of the month.

But they were also puzzled. Why would a commoner come here to conduct business? Was he here to complain?

That would be even more thankless!
