"As of now," the Hall of Famous Generals’ stock price has plumted by $24.62, a decline of 45.08%, with a total market value of $502.3 billion, making it the worst IPO break in NYSE history! Analysts predict that the downward trend in the Hall of Famous Generals’ stock price could continue."
"In addition, affected by the unfavorable news of the Hall of Famous Generals’ listing, another guild that is about to go public, naly Heaven’s Guild, has beco a favorite of the capital market. Heaven’s Guild currently monopolizes the transoceanic trade of The Second World, with extrely broad prospects. Once listed, it will quickly beco a mariti giant. Compared to the demise of the Hall of Famous Generals, Heaven’s Guild, just like its na, is a rising sun..."
After reading this post, Huang Yi smiled to himself. His actions had clearly achieved their intended effect, seriously weakening the Hall of Famous Generals and indirectly giving Thunder God’s Heaven’s Guild a boost.
He decided to wait and see how Heaven’s Guild would fare after its listing. If things really looked up, he would promptly initiate the public listing of Hero Guild, raising a jaw-dropping amount of financing that would allow Hero Guild to grow at rocket speed.
Next, Huang Yi entered The Second World.
As soon as he logged on, he received a ssage from the logistics minister, Little Riddler. He opened it and read.
"Big brother, soone in our guild has obtained a top-level blueprint that can be used to manufacture a transoceanic vessel called the ’Dragon Fang Battleship,’ which is even better than Brother Lei’s Deep Sea Battleship!"
This news imdiately brightened Huang Yi’s eyes!
Currently, several great guilds around the world are researching large vessels capable of transoceanic voyages, but only Thunder God’s Sun Guild had succeeded in doing so. Huang Yi had also considered developing such large vessels. He now owned a port, just lacking the vessels, but he had not been able to find the blueprints for manufacturing these large vessels before—an incredible rarity. Unexpectedly, a mber had now co across such blueprints.
Huang Yi swiftly replied to Little Riddler in the dark, "Mobilize everyone who can contribute in this area to work full-force on developing these ships, striving for an early breakthrough. Moreover, secretly recruit those shipbuilders from Thunder God’s Sun Guild over to our side. With their rich experience, they will undoubtedly help us develop the ’Dragon Fang Battleship’ faster."
"Got it! I’m on it!" Little Riddler’s reply was swift and decisive.
Stimulated by this news, Huang Yi felt even more urgent about getting the Hero Guild listed. If he wanted to achieve sothing in transoceanic trade, open trade synchronously with hundreds of nations, and occupy a significant share of it, relying solely on the current capital of Hero Guild was completely impossible, and even the support from the organization behind him would do little good.
The capital required was incalculable, and the organization simply didn’t have that much money. Only through listing and raising funds could this sum be amassed.
Subsequently, Huang Yi went to the Tower of Pantheons and began to level grind tirelessly, aiming for a breakthrough to the Holy Domain Rank.
...
Days passed, with Huang Yi being relatively calm, continually leveling in the Tower of Pantheons.
Compared to his calmness, Thunder God was much busier.
Because Heaven’s Guild had gone public!
Due to the figures of Hall of Famous Generals falling short, the listing of Heaven’s Guild saw unprecedented success. The capital that initially aid to invest in the Hall of Famous Generals was redirected into Heaven’s Guild, causing its market valuation to exceed one trillion US dollars, nearly double that of the Hall of Famous Generals!
With imnse capital in hand, Thunder God began to expand wildly, starting the construction of bases on hundreds of islands overseas. Their shipyards also ramped up efforts, planning to build three thousand Deep Sea Battleships within six months.
With such rampant developnt, they accumulated a massive amount of Guild Contribution Points, their Guild level skyrocketed past level 20, and their mbership count exceeded twenty million. Furthermore, Thunder God established branches in over twenty countries, including India, the United Kingdom, Australia, and others, soaring to beco the largest Guild in the world.
Public listing and financing gave Heaven’s Guild the greatest change in the shortest ti.
Stimulated by this, major powers around the globe hastened their own IPO processes, including Huang Yi’s Hero Guild, Miyamoto Musashi’s Martial Arts Guild, the Pharaoh’s Desert Guild, and even the Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Nation, among others. So forces with governnt backing or the support of huge financial conglorates also accelerated the scale of capital injection, such as China’s Xuanyuan Clan, Japan Tendo’s Dongying Guild, the Pope’s Heaven’s Guild, and Heaven’s Church, and so on.
The entire Second World saw its major Guilds engaged in fierce competition.
...
That day, Huang Yi logged in and found himself in his residence in Dragon City.
As he usually did, he left his dwelling, preparing to go to the Teleportation Circle and teleport to the Tower of Pantheons for level grinding.
Just as he opened the door, a tiny shadow rushed over and hurled itself into his arms.
Huang Yi reflexively wanted to back away, but just then, he heard a sweet and cute voice—
"Brother, I’ve missed you so much!"
Huang Yi looked down and imdiately saw a delicate and adorable little face; her large eyes filled with excitent as she threw herself into Huang Yi’s arms, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go.
This little figure was none other than Xiao Chunzi, whom he hadn’t seen for a long ti.
Huang Yi instantly smiled, bent down to lift her up, and staring at her little face, he asked, "Isn’t your school very strict? It’s not yet ti for winter vacation, how did you manage to co here?"
Xiao Chunzi wrapped her small hands around Huang Yi’s neck, her little head nuzzling his chin, she spoke with affection and concern, "A few days ago, I accidentally learned that you were being hunted, and everyone said you would surely be dead. I was so worried about you that I seized an opportunity and sneaked out to co find you!"
"I’m fine, as you see!" Huang Yi said with a laugh, patting Xiao Chunzi’s head.
"That’s good!" Xiao Chunzi said, nodding her head with a serious expression, "You, you better not make worry too much! I have to attend class and worry about your safety at the sa ti, it’s so exhausting!"
Huang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but still he said earnestly, "Okay, I won’t make you worry anymore, just focus on your classes. When winter vacation cos, we can play together, alright?"
"No way!" Xiao Chunzi pouted, shaking her head as her two ponytails swayed, slapping Huang Yi’s face, "It was so hard for to get out, I won’t go back so easily. I refuse! I should at least have fun for a week."
"Nonsense! Are you even listening to ?!" Huang Yi’s face hardened as he spoke sternly to Xiao Chunzi, looking very serious.
Xiao Chunzi was taken aback for a mont, as if it was the first ti she had seen Huang Yi look this way. Her lips quivered, and she suddenly looked incredibly wronged, almost ready to cry out, "You’re actually scolding !"
Her delicate and lovely little face, with that wronged expression, seed guaranteed to break the heart of anyone who saw her.
"Hey hey, why did you start crying all of a sudden! Alright, alright, I surrender, one week it is then..."
Huang Yi’s stern look lted away under Xiao Chunzi’s tears and he gave in, disard.
Arm in arm with Xiao Chunzi, Huang Yi walked toward the Teleportation Circle.
At that mont, light snow began to fall from the sky, the world turned into a blanket of white. Xiao Chunzi’s nose turned red from the cold, making her look even more adorable. Along the way, everyone who saw Xiao Chunzi couldn’t help but turn their heads for another glance, so even stopped to watch, thinking what a delicate and lovely little girl she was.
"Ah! Little miss, you’re so cute! Here, sister will give you a snow lon! Happy Winter Snow Festival." At that mont, a female player inside a nearby store saw Xiao Chunzi, her eyes sparkling. She took a crystal-clear white snow lon, walked over, stuffed it into Xiao Chunzi’s hand, and couldn’t resist pinching her little face.
"Thank you, sister," Xiao Chunzi obediently thanked her, her long eyelashes still bearing tears from having just cried, which was heart-wrenching to see.
Huang Yi didn’t linger, carrying Xiao Chunzi away under the reluctant gaze of the female player.
"Sis, you’ll definitely be a great beauty when you grow up, even prettier than your sister Qin Shiyu, attractive to both n and won." Huang Yi couldn’t help but pat Xiao Chunzi’s head as they walked away, feeling sentintal.
"Then you have to wait for to grow up, okay!" Xiao Chunzi turned Huang Yi’s face toward her and stared into his eyes, saying earnestly.
"Sure, then you hurry up and grow," Huang Yi said with a slight smile, not taking her words seriously.
"Brother, what’s the Winter Snow Festival about?" At this point, Xiao Chunzi, holding the crystal-clear snow lon, asked Huang Yi curiously.
Huang Yi brushed the snowflakes off Xiao Chunzi and explained, "Today is the Winter Snow Festival, which commorates the eternal Holy King—Yellow Emperor—in this world. He is the strongest person in The Second World from ancient tis to the present. It’s said that the Yellow Emperor wasn’t from this world; he was from a distant world. At that ti, the humans here were primitive, but after he ca, he enlightened the people, invented writing, taught them to use fire, make tools, and he created human civilization. Humans evolved step by step, entering the Stone Age, the Bronze Age... stepping into civilized society. But in the end, during a snowy season, he returned to his world."
As he spoke, Huang Yi turned to look at the street shops celebrating the Winter Snow Festival and continued, "To commorate him, his direct disciple—the first God Sealer in the world, Wild God. Split Sky—established the Winter Snow Festival. Today is the Winter Snow Festival. If a man and a woman eat from the sa snow lon, they will receive double Experience Points, and for the next month, they will also gain one and a half tis the Experience Points, leveling up faster than usual and with higher Attributes."
"Wow! This festival is so nice! Why did the Yellow Emperor co to this world? Why didn’t he stay in his world, why co here?" Xiao Chunzi, while speaking, took a big bite of the snow lon in her arms, then held it up to Huang Yi’s mouth for him to take a bite as well. (To be continued.
