Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

On the internet, netizens are flooding discussions about Xu Mo's recent investment news.

"Damn, he bought 30% of the shares for just five million yuan? That's hitting the jackpot!"

"This gaming company has unlimited potential. At this rate, in a few years, five million won't even get you 1% of the shares."

"Is it really that exaggerated? Are games that profitable?"

"Are you kidding? Look at the game they just released—it's already a massive hit. It's a cash cow. I bet in a year or two, Xu Mo's five million investment will be worth five billion!"

"Five billion? Bro, you're underestimating this company. If they keep producing games at this level, Xu Mo's five million could multiply ten thousand times in less than five years!"

"Ten thousand times? So... fifty billion?!"

"Damn... why didn't I get such an opportunity? I should've sold my car and house to invest in this company!"

"Fifty billion?! Is it too late for me to sell my house and car to get in now? I don't need ten thousand times—just ten times would make me happy."

"Stop dreaming, bro. All the big investors are probably eyeing this golden goose already. The money you'd get from selling your house and car? They wouldn't even bat an eye. You're better off just clocking into work!"

"Thinking about getting in now? You're the classic 'won't act until you see the rabbit.' When Xu Mo invested five million, this company was practically worthless. Back then, 30% of the shares weren't even worth half a million. You’ve got to admit, Xu Mo has an incredible eye for investments and nerves of steel."

"..."

Waking up early and seeing netizens discussing this, Xu Mo felt a wave of satisfaction, proud of his sharp investment instincts—spending a little to gain so much.

Everyone thought he had genuinely spent five million to buy 30% of a gaming company that was practically worthless not long ago.

But no one knew that Xu Mo hadn’t spent a single penny—it was all the system's doing!

Spending a little to gain a lot? Nah, I didn’t spend a dime, Xu Mo thought gleefully.

He couldn’t help but marvel in his heart: The system is amazing!!!

Judging by this, the digital coins the system rewarded him yesterday must also have a purpose. He wondered how much those 100,000 coins would multiply...

Humming a tune, Xu Mo headed out.

Before he even left the villa area, a gust of wind blew a lottery ticket toward his car.

This time, Xu Mo didn’t open the window, so the ticket didn’t fly inside, but it somehow got stuck perfectly in the window gap.

Xu Mo rolled down the window, grabbed the ticket, and checked the latest lottery numbers.

As expected, it was another first-prize ticket.

The jackpot for this draw was 6.7 million yuan.

Only six million? Well, even a small gain is still a gain... Xu Mo tucked the ticket away.

Lately, he’d been finding lottery tickets way too often.

Xu Mo decided not to cash them in one by one. Instead, he planned to save them up and cash them all at once.

Lottery tickets have a 60-day redemption period, so he could cash them anytime within that window.

That’s why Xu Mo didn’t want to make multiple trips to the lottery center. Finding one ticket and going to cash it in was too slow. It was much more convenient to save them up and cash them all at once.

...

Arriving at the police station, Xu Mo noticed his colleagues looking at him a little differently.

Even the usually composed Han Fei had a hint of envy in his eyes.

No doubt, the officers had seen the trending news and knew Xu Mo had struck gold with his five-million-yuan investment.

The younger officers looked at Xu Mo with pure admiration.

But the older ones? Their gazes carried more than just envy—there was a touch of jealousy and regret too.

Five million? No young person could come up with that kind of money unless they were born rich. But what wealthy family would let their child become a police officer and endure the hardships?

So, even if they envied Xu Mo, it was just that—envy. Even if they’d known the gaming company’s stock would skyrocket, they wouldn’t have had the capital to invest.

But the older officers at the station did have that kind of capital.

They’d lived through the era of skyrocketing property prices. Many of them had bought houses decades ago, and their values had multiplied countless times. If only they’d had Xu Mo’s investment foresight, they wouldn’t have to worry about their future.

If they’d gritted their teeth, sold their houses, and borrowed from relatives and friends, five million wouldn’t have been impossible to scrape together.

"I wanted to live as an ordinary person among everyone, but it seems that’s no longer possible..." Xu Mo sighed.

Who said having money was always a good thing?

Sure, he was rich now, and he’d be even richer in the future, but with wealth, he’d also lost some things.

Like... worries.

As the games from MiDuo Gaming became a global sensation, investors from home and abroad took notice of Xu Mo, the young man with a golden touch for investments.

Some even started keeping a close eye on Xu Mo, not for any other reason but to follow his lead and get a piece of the pie.

Investing in MiDuo Gaming now was too late. The number of investors rushing in was overwhelming, and the company couldn’t possibly absorb that much capital.

Many big names in the investment world were watching Xu Mo’s next move. Whatever he invested in next, they’d likely follow suit.

Not long after, news about Xu Mo spread like wildfire across the global investment community.

The investment genius who’d struck gold with five million had recently spent money to acquire 100,000 digital coins!

If Xu Mo had invested in something else, these investment moguls might have hesitated and analyzed further. But digital coins? That was a different story.

Everyone in the investment world knew how volatile digital coins could be. At their peak, prices could skyrocket in a single day. Being even a minute late could mean missing out on millions.

Although digital coin prices had fallen from their peak, many investors were still watching closely, convinced that another boom was on the horizon.

Xu Mo, the investment prodigy, entering the digital coin market now? That was a clear signal—the digital coin spring was coming, and a massive surge was imminent!

Hesitate? Why hesitate at all? If you’re not getting in now, what are you waiting for?

And so, countless investors jumped in, hoarding digital coins at high prices.

The price of digital coins? It went absolutely wild.
