Chapter 9

When I got 1.24 billion won in one day, I felt like I had the whole world. But if you think about it honestly, it’s not a huge amount of money that you can play and eat for the rest of your life.

It’s perfect for ruining yourself if you’re excited about having money all of a sudden.

Why don’t some people become homeless in less than 10 years after winning the tens of billions lottery?

To prevent that from happening, you have to keep your mind straight.

I thought …, but the thought of having a lot of money puts my mind at ease. I wonder if I need to find a tutoring position.

Tirling!

The cell phone rang. It’s obvious who’s going to call me.

“Why?”

[If you have nothing to do, come play. Let’s play a game.]

Right now, I have nothing to do, so I’m just rolling around.

I barely got my clothes on.

“I’m going to Taek-gyu’s house.”

* * *

Taek-gyu’s bedroom is a separate studio with a separate living room, so it’s quite large to live alone. However, games, comic books, figurines, etc. were overflowing with all kinds of miscellaneous goods, and the inside of the house was nothing more than a garbage dump.

Except for a sofa and a bed, it is difficult to find a single place to lie down.

When I entered the house, Taek-gyu was sitting on the sofa playing a game.

Originally, the results were due to be announced today. But no news so far

“Have you contacted Hyunjoo noona?”

Taek-gyu said without taking his eyes off the game screen.

“Huh. My sister told me that the results would come out tomorrow.”

“okay?”

Doesn’t a long meeting mean something’s not going well?

Something’s a little ominous.

WTI is down an additional 3% from when we bought it. I alone blew 10 million won already, and the two together blew 100 million won.

Am I doing something wrong?

Contrary to my burning stomach, Taek-gyu didn’t seem to care much.

“Are you okay?”

“What’s wrong with that? We have the Oracle Eye.”



“·················ogue.”

Since when did you become ‘our Oracle kids’?

Taek-gyu handed me the gamepad.

“Let’s play a game. The answer will come tomorrow.”

It doesn’t change the situation when I’m worried. It’s better to be comfortable like him.

I grabbed the gamepad and sat down next to Taek-gyu.

* * *

I fell asleep while playing the game until dawn.

I was lying on the sofa with a blanket on, when Taek-gyu suddenly woke me up.

“Hey, wake up.”

“Let’s get some more sleep.”

“Get up.”

“What? Wake up later.”

As I tried to sleep again, shaking his hand, Taek-gyu said.

“The OPEC results are out.”

“What!?”

My eyes lit up spontaneously.


I jumped up and asked.

“How are you?”

Taek-gyu pointed to the computer.

“Look for yourself.”

I sat at my desk and looked at the monitor.

The global economy was covered with articles related to the OPEC production cut agreement.

-[Breaking News] Dramatic conclusion of OPEC production cut meeting

-[Emergency] Non-OPEC member countries also join the production cut

-Aviation industry emergency due to OPEC production cut agreement. hit is inevitable

-Are gasoline prices going up?

-International oil prices surge due to OPEC production cut decision

I clicked on any of them.

[The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has agreed to cut oil production after a long meeting. At a meeting in Kuwait, OPEC decided to cut production by 2.5 million barrels per day from the 1st.

OPEC Secretary-General Mohammed al-Sabah issued a statement saying that member states would comply with the agreement.

The market immediately welcomed the action, much stronger than expected.

WTI, which stayed at $60 a barrel, soared to over $70 when the news of the agreement was announced, and the Dow, which had fallen at the beginning of the market, rose 150 points.]

The other articles were pretty much the same.

I couldn’t hide my surprise.


“This is the alternative…….”

I’m sure there will be an agreement on production cuts!

I checked the WTI price. It is now up to $73. As soon as OPEC announced the production cut, it surged more than 20 percent in just a few minutes.

“Open an account.”

Taek-gyu opened an account.

What I found out was an agreement to cut production. I don’t know what will happen after that.

“I’ll sell them all.”

I quickly sold the whole thing.

Taek-gyu asked.

“How much did you earn?”

“630,000 dollars.”

In Korean Won, it is about 7 billion won.

Others made money in an instant, which was difficult to earn even in their lifetime. This isn’t about spending money and eating money.

Such is the nature of the original finance. If the investment is successful, it is natural to take a profit as much as the capital invested.

Let’s see. Is my share about 60 million won?

740 million won is now 800 million won.

Taek-gyu said it was a pity.

“I just bought three million dollars for nothing. I should have bought 10 million dollars like I first thought.”

“After successful investment, you tend to think like that.”

“Did you mean to bet full on options on futures?”

“·················ogue.”

Do you know what futures options are?

But if he really did, he would have made tens of billions of dollars.

“Isn’t that absolutely awesome?”

“what?”

“All of the experts predicted it wasn’t going to work, but as soon as you heard it, you knew it was going to be agreed upon at once.”

“It is, but…”

In fact, if you look at the details aside, the outcome of the meeting is one of two things. agreed or not.

So, even if I got it right, there is nothing strange about it…

“It could be once or twice, but this is already the third time. Foresight is real.”

“OMG······.”

Do I really have superpowers? Like superheroes in cartoons and movies?

Usually, when we think of superpowers, we think of flying in the sky, breaking buildings with our fists, and manipulating objects with telekinesis.

Compared to that ability, foresight may not be much.

But if you think about it otherwise, it is not.

The sky can be reached by flying an airplane, and buildings can be destroyed with a forklift. Such superpowers can be replaced by machines.

But foresight is irreplaceable. Even with the advancement of computers and artificial intelligence, it is impossible to predict the future.

What if I could know the election results first? What if you could know the results of matches such as soccer or baseball in advance? What if we could accurately predict natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons?

This is an incredibly powerful ability!

I calmed my excitement and thought soberly.

If this is really a superpower, when did it come to me? Shouldn’t there be some cause?

Taek-gyu provided an answer to my question.

“You said You originally had latent superpowers, but you woke up in an emergency. We usually call that ‘Awakened’.”

“Then, why haven’t you been seen for a while?”

If the hologram had continued to appear in front of me, I would have run to the casino as soon as I left on vacation.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Sitting at the baccarat table, you bet 1 million won on the first bet, and bet twice each time you win. If you just do ten plates like that, 1 million won becomes 1.24 billion won.

And if you add ten plates from there, it’s over a trillion.

You can earn trillions of dollars just by flipping 20 cards.

Of course, in reality, this is impossible. There is a limit to the amount of casino bets.

Well, there are plenty of ways to make money easily, even if it’s not necessarily a casino.

But nothing has been seen since then. So I also thought it was just an illusion and moved on.

“Then why did you start showing up again?”

Taek-gyu crossed his arms and fell into anguish. And he mumbled.

“I saw it when we were talking about Bantcoin, and I saw it when my sister was talking at the Opec meeting… Ah! Could it be the ability to foresee things related to finance?”

“······Huh?”

Suddenly, I thought it might be.

However, there are some things that I don’t understand.

“Then what about the mortar explosion?”

“It was a situation in which life was at stake, so I should make an exception… No, wait a minute. What happened after that?”

“what?”

“After the explosion. Wasn’t that pretty big news?”

“It was.”

When Taek-gyu typed ‘KM188 Explosion’ in the search bar, old articles popped up.

At that time, public opinion against the military was not very good due to the case of the military service member’s Gapjil incident and the sexual harassment case of female soldiers. The explosion that occurred just in time went viral in the media.

The opposition parties all criticized the military, and an investigation team was formed.

The results of the investigation were shocking. The new mortar was flawed from the start, and the DAPA knew it and condoned it.

The accident was as if it had been planned from the beginning.

As a result, the three active-duty generals took off their clothes, and the investigation was extended to the general defense against corruption. The defense industry has always been a hotbed of corruption.

Those involved were arrested one after another. And······.

The stock prices of defense industry companies such as Eunsung Fine Chemicals, which supplied KM188, as well as Korea Aerospace Industries and Hwaan Defense, fell all at once.

“Then, isn’t that also related to finance?”

“·················ogue.”

It’s not wrong.

But with that in mind, isn’t everything that happens in the world directly or indirectly related to finance?
