The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The bitter cold wind above the Himalayas lingers all year round, and the snowflakes blown by the wind are like pure white knife light, shuttling through the lonely and vast valleys.

The sound of the wind was like the whimpering of the earth, overshadowing the horns blown by travelers at the end of the sky. He turned his head and looked back. Behind the layers of peaks, there were curls of cooking smoke floating like incense sticks.

When the last stick of incense in the incense burner was burned to the end, when the fire went out, the straight incense thread also dissipated. At the last moment when the smoke dissipated, the sound of chess pieces touching the chessboard echoed in the quiet room.

A slender white hand twisted the chess piece and placed it gently on the chessboard. There was no trace of age on the hand of the Supreme Mage, but it carried the rough texture left by the farming years, and the pattern spread along the back of her hand. , Gu Yi looked at the chessboard with calm eyes.

She turned her head slightly, glanced at the burnt incense, and said, Let's stop here today.

Strange, who made the final move, glanced at the chessboard. The situation in this game was not intense. Obviously, both sides of the game were a little absent-minded.

Gu Yi flicked the robe lightly, some fine dust rose around her, she stood up and walked slowly to the incense table, lit a stick of incense again, Strange could smell it, the scent of the incense candle became light up.

Wang came in with a tray. Strange put away the chess pieces and chessboard on the table and put them under the table. Wang took out tea and snacks from the tray.

Strange thought, Kama Taj can be called a holy place, there is a reason for it, this is a completely different feeling from living in New York.

He looked around the room. It was not very big, with very little furniture. The floor was made of rough felt. The entire opposite wall was made of wooden museum shelves. There are hanging paintings hanging from the top, and two bonsai are placed in the middle.

There was a low table in the center of the room, under which the chessboard and chess pieces were usually stored. Strange would play a game of chess with Ancient One after finishing his magic practice.

Strange didn't know how to play Go in the first place, but after practicing for a few days, he was quite comfortable.

There is no winner or loser in the game against Gu Yi, only time is counted. After a stick of incense, they will put away the chessboard, drink tea and chat. It was during this time that Strange learned about the universe from Gu Yi. the mystery.

The atmosphere here was completely different from what Strange had envisioned before he came.

In Western mythology, the concept of holy land often appears magnificent and grand, and the buildings must be magnificent and the atmosphere must be mysterious and mysterious.

This is not the case with Kokarma Taj. Although it is already a miracle to have such a building in the deep mountains of the Himalayas, the temperament here is more simple and natural than sacred.

But Strange also had to admit that this atmosphere gave him the long-lost tranquility and relaxation, and his brain, which was almost dazzled by money, gradually calmed down.

But again, in this atmosphere, Strange felt that it would not be very easy for him to speak next.

He looked around the room again. Although the furnishings here are simple, each one is just right, and the traces of the vicissitudes of time can be seen.

Everyone here, no matter if they were the Supreme Mage or the junior apprentices who had just started, they all had an indifferent and agile temperament. In comparison, Strange always seemed out of place.

And what he said next might make him even more out of place.

I think you're a little distracted. Gu Yi sat back down again, she blew on the tea, and said to Strange.

Sorry, teacher.

I can see that you have something to say, you don't have to be shy, there is nothing you can't say here.

Ancient One's tone always had a kind of calm force, making people believe what she said involuntarily. Strange took a deep breath first, and then sighed again, he said: Okay, but this is really too much It’s hard to speak.”

He looked at the tea leaves swirling in the teacup, tried hard to imagine this place as the financial center of Wall Street, and then said: The thing is like this, we have a plan...

Having said that, Strange already regretted it. He always felt that he would be thrown out from this place in a short time.

So he paused for a moment, pressed his brows, and tried to persuade himself to bite the bullet and continue.

The teacher told me the way to get along with the Dimensional Demon God. After listening to it, I was quite enlightened, so I discussed it with a few friends. They agreed that the prosperity of the earth today is inseparable from the determination of the Supreme Mage. belief……

In order to prevent his posture from being too ugly when he was thrown out, Strange laid the groundwork first.

But human beings have never been a race waiting to die. We don't want to put our own safety on the protection of others, so...

Strange sighed again and said, I'm sorry, since the next turning point may be a little surprising, it's better for you not to drink tea.

When Gu Yi heard this, he put down the teacup, but Wang lost his mind when Strange opened his mouth, and continued to drink slowly. He blew on the hot tea and took a sip. I heard Strange say: ...we have made a financial fraud plan against Dimensional Demon God.

puff!

Wang sprayed the tea in his mouth all over the table.

Strange hurriedly took out a rag to wipe the table, and said helplessly, I warned you, the next twist may be surprising...

But it's too amazing! Cough cough! Wang coughed and said while being choked.

Gu Yi was very calm, and even seemed quite interested. She asked Strange: Financial fraud plan? Tell me in detail.

Strange took out a small projection device from his pocket and placed it on the table.

When the eyes of the three were all focused on this device, a projection popped up inside, and it was still Strange's face on it. He waved his hand at the camera and said, Hi, I'm Strange, He is also the narrator of this plan...

Wang looked at the projection, and then at Strange who was sitting next to him, he asked suspiciously: Can't you just sit here and explain to us? Why do you want to get a projection?

Strange pointed to the projection, signaling Wang to continue looking down.

At this moment, the projection camera paused for a moment, and just when Wang and Gu Yi thought they were about to start their lecture, the camera suddenly zoomed out and shot the entire meeting room, with people in suits and leather shoes on both sides of the long table.

Then, the contents of the projected video were explained to Gu Yi and Wang fully, in detail, and concisely, what is the financial fraud plan of the Cosmos Demon God.

The plan discussed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting room at that time can only be regarded as a prototype. In fact, any such scam involves very complicated numerical calculations, such as how to set the promotion requirements? What should be the ratio of upfront investment to later return? How to arrange the timeline of each step?

Since none of the four people involved in the discussion had a background in financial education, SHIELD recruited some powerful financial practitioners to help them perfect the plan after completing the prototype of the plan.

Most of these people are fished out of prisons, their moral bottom line has been tested, and many have practical experience, so the plan will soon become perfect.

They explained how the scam works in as detailed and understandable a manner as possible.

The so-called Ponzi scheme, or MLM, is the most classic financial fraud routine and the oldest one, but among all financial fraud routines, this kind of scheme can be said to be enduring and endless. People from generation to generation have done it, and people from generation to generation have been fooled.

Moreover, this kind of routine has evolved to today, and the people who will be fooled have changed from the original nouveau riche with low education and ignorance of economics and finance to young people with knowledge, ability, and education.

Many people even know that this is a Ponzi scheme, and even the history and principles of this kind of scam can be explained well, but they will still be fooled in the end.

The reason is that this scam precisely attacks the weakness in the thinking of intelligent creatures, which is profit-seeking and luck.

Low investment, high return, intelligent creatures are always looking for profit, and many people know that this tower will collapse sooner or later, and they always feel that they will be the one to take the money and run away.

After the explanation of these professional financial personnel, this principle becomes better understood and more feasible.

They cited several examples that had happened in the past, as well as various variants based on this foundation, even Wang, who was not interested in finance and economics, listened with gusto.

In the process of listening to the lecture, he glanced at the Supreme Mage from the corner of his eye from time to time. He found that Gu Yi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Wang instinctively leaned to the other side, only to find that his other side was the one who proposed this plan Strange, the future supreme mage.

There was a very tacit radio wave between the two generations of supreme mages, the old and the young, and Wang had only one thought now-the cosmic demon god, danger.

After the projection ended, Gu Yi calmed down his mind first, and then said: I didn't expect you to surprise me so much, Stephen.

Uh, I know this plan is wicked, but... wait, surprise??? Strange looked at Gu Yi suspiciously, and found that Gu Yi looked at him with appreciation and surprise.

Gu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a satisfied tone: It seems that my story was not in vain before. I really didn't expect that you can find the crux of the current situation from these fragmentary stories.

Uh... Strange choked for a moment, he really wanted to ask what the key point was, but it was obvious that Ancient One had more to say.

Gu Yi sighed, and then said: As mentioned in the story I told before, there are demon gods in this world, and there are many of them.

Just like human beings, they have intelligence, can communicate, have their own interests and positions, and have different personalities and personalities.

They are born powerful, with power beyond human comprehension, and most of them also have their own domains, distributed in every corner of the universe.

And to explain who they are, we have to mention what exactly is the universe.

Then, Strange learned the truth of the whole world from the narration of the supreme mage Gu Yi.
