Chapter 62:Money and Talent Pour In

Chapter 62:Living Lavishly (2) As soon as we arrived in Hong Kong, we headed straight to the Peninsula Hotel. The moment we checked in and entered the room, gasps of admiration filled the air as we took in the view from the living room. “Whoa…!” Everyone had the exact same reaction. Both sets of grandparents widened their eyes and walked toward the window. “Oh my, it's a bit scary. What is all this?” “The scenery is truly something else.” “Wait, are all of those buildings over there?” “It’s beautiful, simply beautiful.” Despite it being night, the lights from Harbour City across the water were so intense that the river was clearly visible. The brilliant city lights sprawling along the riverbank commanded our full attention. “The view is incredible, and the room is fantastic.” “Oh my…!” Once we managed to pull ourselves together, we were dazzled by the splendor of the Superior Deluxe Room. “No way, this is crazy!” Ryu Hyun-ah hopped around the room in excitement. A spacious living r...

    Chapter 61: Indulging in Luxury (1) On the way back home. A flurry of thoughts swirled endlessly in Ryuseong's mind inside the car. *Mmm...!* The final image of his grandparents wouldn't leave his head. How much they must have missed their children and grandchildren all this time. Even though it had been a while since they’d seen them, he could clearly see how they swallowed the urge to ask them to stay longer. That was exactly why it weighed on his mind. He felt like even if he went home now, resting wouldn't actually feel like resting. "Father." "Yeah?" Finally, deciding he couldn't let it go, Ryuseong spoke up. "There are still more than three days left of the Chuseok holiday, right?" "That's right." "How about we go on a trip somewhere nearby overseas?" "Overseas? Hmm." Seeing his father looking pensive, Ryuseong brought it up, hoping they were on the same page. "With Grandma and Grandpa."...

            Chapter 60:Proof of Effect The day before Chuseok. After a quick preparation, I headed to the gym for my evening workout. While waiting for the light to change at a crosswalk, I heard a rhythmic *tap-tap-tap* beside me. I turned my head and saw a man wearing sunglasses. He was walking cautiously, tapping the ground ahead of him with a cane. *Click, click.* The man then pressed something in his hand. However, when there was no response, he looked flustered, appearing at a loss for what to do. "Uh? Uh..." He seemed to be visually impaired. Ryu-seong immediately approached him. **[A quest has appeared...]** Ignoring the hologram, he spoke to the man. "May I help you?" "Ah? Oh, yes! Thank you. May I ask you something?" "Of course." "Is this the crosswalk? The tactile paving on the ground tells me it’s a crosswalk, but the acoustic signal for the traffic light isn't working." Ryu-seong’s eyes momentarily dropped to the ground...

  Chapter 59:Nasdaq Information Rights (2) As soon as I searched for the ticker, the chart popped up. The price had already surged 50%, jumping from $10 to $15. It seemed investment firms had used algorithmic trading programs to sweep up shares the moment it listed. In the end, individual investors were forced to buy in at a premium. “It’s already climbed quite a bit.” At $10, the market cap was 600 billion KRW. Now at $15, it had reached 900 billion KRW. One might think that’s high for a newly listed company. However, considering the projected revenue, there was still plenty of room to grow. “I’ll buy in before it gets any later.” I had spent over 24 hours straight studying nothing but 'Quantucom.' It was time to muster the courage based on the knowledge I had gained. 1.5 billion KRW. I poured the entire amount into the purchase. It was approximately $1.33 million. Despite injecting such a massive fortune, the trade was executed in an instant. **[Purchase executed.]** **[Purch...

Chapter 58:Nasdaq Information Rights (1) I sent a donation along with a simple question. [Stock Overlord TV has donated 500,000 KRW.] > "Then I’ll donate through YouTube with peace of mind. You’re matching the donation amount with your own personal funds, right?" It was a donation of 500,000 won. An amount that could never be ignored. "Ha, haha. Of course. I will add the exact same amount from my own pocket. But... you’re speaking as if this is just the beginning, which is a little scary!" The viewers also started cracking up, and the chat went wild.  Bing-geure:** LOL, is this a 'fun-battle'?  Beer Address:** Why is this so entertaining? haha  Soul:** Oh, is Hoyang’s wallet finally getting emptied after all this time?  Smartman:** Is Hoyang going to have to sell his underwear? lol  Assada:** I should shoot some [donations] too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Quite a few viewers sent small donations. The amounts popped up without rest. "Uh, everyone? Isn’t this a bit too much....
