Chapter 41:Money and Talent Pour In

  Chapter 41: 25 Points (1)

A flood of information poured in through his eyes.

It was an almost terrifying ability.

After interpreting all of it, Ryu Seong neatly summarized his conclusion.

“I’ll place a buy order at the support line of 55.95 million won.”

The order filled faster than expected.

[Buy order executed.]

[Buy order…]

Just like magic, the price that had hit the support line began to rebound. Anyone watching the chart move almost exactly along the line he had drawn would have gotten goosebumps, but Ryu Seong’s eyes were filled only with deep focus.

A major resistance line was approaching soon.

“As I mentioned earlier, 57 million won is a strong resistance level. The overall trend is upward with some fluctuation, but when it hits a major resistance, it tends to drop just as sharply. I expect a decent pullback from there. So after selling this position, I’ll step back and observe for a bit.”

Before long, the price approached his target zone.

[Sell order executed.]

[Sell order executed.]

Bitcoin was completely sold.

“Sold. Shall we check the balance? I started with 280 million won, right?”

How much was it now?

He opened the deposit/withdrawal menu.

The current balance appeared.

[KRW: 369,901,844]

Roughly 370 million won.

“Hmm, made about 90 million won in two hours.”

The remaining time for his talent was 1 hour.

Plenty left.

“Let’s push it to 450 million today.”

The chat exploded with excitement.

**MoneyMaker**: LET’S GOOOOOOO!

**ScalperKing**: Yesss! Dump the whole seed in and ride!

**AltCoinAddict**: Deposit complete

**DayTradeOnly**: God still gives us a chance to reach 450 million!

**Newbie1**: That’s it! This is the one!

**BeefSlice**: Everyone’s losing their minds because MaskedMan said he’s going for 450M lol

**MoneyMaker**: You’re not excited?

**BeefSlice**: I’m fucking excited lol

**MoneyMaker**: Please draw the support line quickly, I’m getting dizzy ㅠㅠ

**AllInGuy**: I’m following too!

**CoinLife**: Let’s gooooo!

Under the viewers’ frantic urging, he first drew the support line.

Current price: 56.98 million won.

He zoomed in on a point much lower—at 53.07 million won.

“This is the support I see. Since it just hit strong resistance, it’ll probably need to drop at least this far before it can build strong upward momentum again.”

Then one chat caught his eye.

**AltCoinAddict**: It’ll take a while to fall all the way there, right?

“You’ve got sharp eyes, AltCoinAddict.”

**AltCoinAddict**: Falling all the way there… damn that’s brutal.

**SugarCube**: Ugh, wasting time is so annoying…!

**PairFoot**: How about scalping big-cap coins instead?

**Newbie1**: Yeah, didn’t you say big caps follow charts well too?

**ScalperKing**: Let’s gooooo!

**BeefSlice**: Let’s do something lol

Even in this situation, the “Chartist’s Eye” was telling him that scalping was still very possible.

“It’s fine. Overcoming adversity like this is what makes a true chartist, don’t you think?”

**BeefSlice**: Haaah, I’m falling for him…!

**ScalperKing**: Lmao, that sounded cooler than it should’ve.

**AltCoinAddict**: You can really do it in this condition…?

**PairFoot**: Bro, that was straight “become my comrade” vibes.

“Alright, calm down everyone. Yes, the trend is clearly downward. It might take over an hour to reach the support I drew. But that doesn’t mean we can’t scalp. Even during a downtrend, there are always small bounces. I’m going to catch those and make money.”

**LongTermGuy**: I’m literally falling for this guy lol

**UptrendLover**: Starting day trading from today!

**AltCoinAddict**: By the way, what’s a “chartist”?

“A chartist is someone who trades purely by reading charts.”

**AltCoinAddict**: Whoa, there’s a job like that…!

“Anyway, let’s get started. The downward pressure is strong right now. I’ll draw a minor support line above the major one.”

Several lines appeared on the chart.

A clear minor support line stood out.

“See it? Right here. I’ll place a buy at 55.90 million won.”

The falling Bitcoin stopped near 55.90 million. Buying pressure suddenly surged, pushing it up slightly before it fell again. After what felt like a tense standoff, it finally touched 55.90 million.

[Buy order executed.]

But there was no rebound.

The price slowly continued to slip lower.

“If it breaks 55.70 million, I’ll cut the loss, so keep that line in mind.”

The selling pressure was strong, as expected in a downtrend.

55.80 million broken.

55.78 million.

55.76 million.

The price was falling quickly.

“Wait. Not yet.”

Yet Ryu Seong’s voice remained completely calm.

Not a single tremor.

**AltCoinAddict**: Damn, so reliable!

**PairFoot**: Just wait!

**SugarCube**: He says just trust and follow lol

The price dropped a little more.

55.72 million.

It was nearing the stop-loss line. The moment it hit 55.71 million—just 10,000 won more—a powerful hidden buying force suddenly surged upward.

“Wait. Not yet.”

However, Ryu Seong’s voice remained perfectly calm.

There wasn’t even the slightest tremor.

**AltCoinAddict**: Damn, I trust him so much!

**PairFoot**: Just wait and see!

**SugarCube**: He’s basically saying just trust and follow lol

The price dropped a little further.

55.72 million won.

It was now right near the stop-loss line. The moment it fell another 10,000 won to 55.71 million won—

A powerful buying force that had been hiding suddenly surged upward.

A strong green candle shot up.

And with considerable strength and speed.

“There’s some real power here. I’ll set a resistance line.”

One line was drawn on the chart.

“It may look like strong momentum, but that’s an illusion. In a downtrend, rebounds like this are best taken quickly. I’ll place a sell order at 56.30 million won.”

Just like clockwork, the price climbed all the way to 56.30 million won.

[Sell order executed.]

Buy position: 369.9 million won.

Sold at resistance.

Profit rate: 1.05%.

Profit: 3,883,969 won.

“Not bad.”

Of course, the chat room was in an absolute frenzy.

**RealOne**: Even in this situation, the information monster still pulls off 1% profit…!

**FuckingCool**: So cool lol

**Honored**: Not bad? That’s insane profit, straight-up money printing!

**AltCoinAddict**: I’m trading with 10 million won and made 100k… this is crazy.

**ChaebolGuy**: Sweeter than latte^^

“ChaebolGuy, I like that ‘sweeter than latte’ line. Thank you. I’ll draw the next support line.”

Ryu Seong continued scalping with full concentration.

Buy position: 373.78 million won.

Sold at resistance.

Profit rate: 0.87%.

Profit: 3,251,936 won.

“Very good.”

Buy position: 377.03 million won.

Sold at resistance.

Profit rate: 0.61%.

Profit: 2,299,833 won.

Profits kept piling up steadily, and word of this spread once again across various coin-related communities. A significant number of new viewers flooded in.

**ImNewHere**: Is this a coin scalping room?

**MoonShot**: Mask? Is this some kind of concept thing?

**SemiconductorGod**: Wasn’t this guy a long-term investor before? I saw him once. Suddenly doing scalping now? lol

**UptrendLover**: Tsk tsk, so obvious.

**GazuaK**: No skills so he hides behind a mask lol

A few of the new arrivals tried to spoil the mood, but Ryu Seong ignored them and stayed focused on scalping.

0.95% take-profit.

0.71% take-profit.

1.13% take-profit.

0.93% take-profit.

The continuous successful trades eventually won even the skeptics over.

**LongTermOnly**: Should I try scalping too? lol

**MoonShot**: The mask looks so cool^^

**SemiconductorGod**: Sorry for doubting you earlier, bro!

**ImNewHere**: This is legit! I respect you so much.

**UptrendLover**: I’ll call you Master! Please accept me as your disciple! Pleeease ㅠㅠ

**GazuaK**: Damn, I want to wear a mask too lol

The atmosphere had completely flipped 180 degrees from when they first joined.

“Welcome, nice to meet you all.”

Before he knew it, the viewer count had reached 1,231.

Even while greeting them, Ryu Seong didn’t stop scalping.

---

Some time later.

“Finally…!”

Buy position: 444.03 million won.

Sold at resistance.

Profit rate: 1.37%.

Profit: 6,083,211 won.

Total balance: 450,113,211 won.

“I’ve reached the goal.”

He had finally achieved 450 million won.

Remaining talent time: 2 minutes 37 seconds.

It wasn’t enough time to continue scalping properly, so it was time to end the stream.

“I did scalping for about three hours today. Did everyone make money?”

**AltCoinAddict**: Profits are insane!

**MoonShot**: You’re ending already? ㅜㅜ

**LifeGazua**: No way, I just started copying you ㅠㅠ

**SemiconductorGod**: Just a little more, please ㅠ

**OnlyCoins**: I made enough to eat beef every day for months lol Totally worth the search!

**AllInGuy**: I wish every day could be like today…!

It had been a genuinely fun and refreshing session in a long time. This was the first time he had made money so purely, without overthinking anything.

“I’m glad. I had a lot of fun too. Unfortunately, my concentration is starting to break, so I think we’ll have to stop here.”

**AnimeJjang**: Nooooooo, don’t gooo!

**GodGod**: ㅠㅠ Can’t be helped…

**Limbo**: Ah, it’s such a shame…!

**AltCoinAddict**: You’ll do this again later, right?

**AllInGuy**: We believe in you!

AltCoinAddict’s chat caught his eye.

*Later.*

He wondered if the day would ever come when he could use the “Chartist’s Eye” again.

The chances seemed slim.

“Starting from the next broadcast, I’ll be switching back to long-term investment mode.”

The moment he said it, donations poured in like rain.

Everyone called it nonsense.

They begged him through voice chat not to do it.

**AltCoinAddict**: Wait, why…?

**PairFoot**: You can’t be serious ㅠㅠ

**MoonShot**: With skills like this? For real?ㄷㄷ

“I have to live my real life too.”

It was the most relatable excuse he could give.

**AltCoinAddict**: *sob* ㅠㅠ

**TinyTiny**: How amazing is your real life that you’re willing to throw away profits like this?!

**PairFoot**: Ah… real life…!

“What I do in real life is a secret. I’m already wearing a mask—there’s no way I can reveal that, right? I’m sorry, but I hope you understand. For the final move, I’ll buy 150 million won worth of each of the bio stocks and then end the live stream. Congratulations on all your profits, everyone. See you next time.”

The scalping run that had taken him from 280 million won to 450 million won.

Time spent: 180 minutes.

Profit rate: 61%.

A legendary, historic moment came to a close just like that.

*

The remaining duration dropped.

3 seconds.

2 seconds.

1 second.

The instant it hit 0, an indescribable, strange sensation vanished. He had clearly known an entirely new world, yet everything blurred like a fading dream and turned into smoke.

“…Is it over?”

Just in case, he glanced at the chart. No information came to him anymore. It was just an ordinary chart—exactly what he used to see, nothing more.

“Tch.”

He couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Still…

It had been really fun for the first time in a long while.

The joy far exceeded anything he had expected. It felt like playing a growth-type game where you had to keep inflating cyber numbers. It reminded him of the old days when he would stay up all night playing RPGs at the PC bang.

“Up we go.”

Feeling a refreshing mix of satisfaction and regret at the clean finish, he stood up from his chair and stretched.

*Crack.*

His stiff body loosened with a pleasant pop.

“Ughhhhh.”

After stretching, he called Lee Shin-woo. Seeing the bio stocks had reminded him of his friend. He had already revealed all the information on stream—there was no reason to keep it from his buddy.

(Yo, what’s up?)

“More stock info came in.”

(Whoa, for real?)

“Yeah. Among the bio companies, buy a bit of Jinsang Science, Metrion, and Arang Life.”

(Got it, thanks!)

“Make sure to sell by early September at the latest.”

(Okay!)

The moment he ended the call—

[Limited Quest Cleared!]

[Calculating total amount earned by viewers.]

[Calculating total watch time of viewers.]

[Combining both conditions to derive the result.]

[Calculating…]

A hologram appeared.

But the result hadn’t shown up yet.

A few short seconds passed.

[Calculation complete.]

[You have earned 25 Advance Points.]

The quest was finished.

“…Huh?”

He had gained an enormous amount of points, yet he was so stunned that he couldn’t even cheer. He simply stood there, frozen in place for a long time.
