Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been another busy but fruitful week.
First and foremost, I'd like to congratulate everyone who executed the combat plan for SpaceX I mentioned in the last DD. Everyone should have seen their personal wealth increase by at least 10%. You get a more than 10% APY from the option, and a 15% increase from the stock itself. It's a very safe play. I personally went a bit more aggressive.
I sold calls at $100 per contract on Monday at the strike price of $160. That's about 20% APY and still very safe. Indeed, making money is just that simple if you know what kind of risk to take. The difference is, you read my DD, and you executed the plan. Thus, you get your reward while others don't.
But the more successful we are in this journey, the more people will hate us.
"The more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face." --- Donald Trump
"The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly." --- Friedrich Nietzsche
Just as I told you last week about the story of a wise Japanese man who once told us how to efficiently eliminate the Woke Leftists by making everyone rich, among this week's stories, let me take this opportunity to introduce you to another Japanese author who passed away just about 2 weeks ago.
The man is Higashino Keigo, and the story is about why they hate us.
Some people's hatred stems from no particular reason; they are mediocre, untalented, and lead unremarkable lives—so your excellence, your gifts, your kindness, and your happiness become, in their eyes, unforgivable sins.
It's never about you. It's all about them. They are powerless in their own tragedy. They never want to actually change their own situation to become stronger and more powerful. Instead, they'd like to take everyone down with them. They reject common sense. They use their woke agenda to pollute games. They want to make girls in games and movies as ugly as they are. They project their dark selves onto others, calling everyone they envy Nazis while in truth they are quite Nazi-like.
Let us enjoy their agony. Each time they scream, each time they click a downvote button, each time they call us propaganda, it is proof that we are getting more and more powerful in this reality. And they can do nothing about it other than becoming our entertainment.
Now, let the main story continue.
This is another cutscene you can unlock during this week's main story.
It's once again about the debate between liberty and security. The veil has made the world a very safe place. Most people do not need to face supernatural horrors. But what's the difference between such a life and cattle? We all know the veil is cracking; it will fail eventually.
It may even be sooner than expected. (This is another cutscene added this week. It can be unlocked at the end of Chapter Three.)
The final stage has been set; you are about to reach the last void island in the seal.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, the currency trading continues to expand.
In the No.4 Pawnshop, you may have pawned the souls you collected to exchange for all kinds of items they provide. Now, they have simply expanded their financial infrastructure to allow better monetization.
But still, it's in China; we have currency control here, even on the supernatural side, so you can see in the screenshot that the exchange is mostly one-way from one currency to another. The limitation is intended.
If there were no currency control in China, I could have easily dumped a few million dollars into SpaceX on Friday to melt those shorters who dared to oppose us in the past weeks. I don't care about money or how much I can win. This is just an ideological vendetta for humanity to annihilate those traitors who want to stop us as a species from becoming an interplanetary civilization. I will personally bankrupt them if I have the chance. Why counterattack on Friday? Because that's when options are expired. It's well-planned in this war.
That's for this week. Here is a potential change regarding the update schedule during the next circle. Expecting less frequent updates next week. There may even be just one single but big update to finish off the main story of Chapter Three. The Rubicon River has to be crossed.
The full update of this week:
