Chapter 55: Going All In

[Page 1/3]
[Consequently, Vice Principal Zhang decided to use his profound knowledge and culture to persuade you to give up this batch of advanced divine-赐 (bestowed) crystals.]
[If all else failed, he was willing to dig into his own pocket to provide you with a generous sum of funds.]
[Facing Vice Principal Zhang, who kept chattering away in front of you, the corner of your brow twitched.]
[You already had a certain understanding of this Vice Principal Zhang, who had followed the old principal in the previous simulation, fighting to the death without retreating.]
[Therefore, you gave him a sound beating.]
[Despite being beaten black and blue, Vice Principal Zhang's eyes seemed to be shining.]
[That punch of yours actually managed to break his defense?]
[Good heavens!]
[How old were you?]
[Incredible!]
[Coupled with the advanced divine crystals sent to you by the old principal, what this represented went without saying!]
[Thinking of this, Vice Principal Zhang breathed heavily, his pupils constricted wildly, and the injuries on his face somehow looked rather endearing.]
[Finally, before leaving, Vice Principal Zhang smilingly handed over a bank card, stating that the money inside served as his greeting gift.]
[As for the injuries on his face?]
[A proud and lofty supreme prodigy who disliked chattering old fellows—wasn't that entirely normal?]
[Any and all mistakes were simply his own.]
[He absolutely had to firmly grasp this top-tier monstrous talent who had somehow ended up at Yuncheng First High, goodness knows by what twist of fate.]
[Suddenly, he understood the old principal's approach.]
[As expected of an old principal who had immersed himself in the education sector for many years, his vision was viciously sharp and profoundly long-term!]
[Admirable!]
[In July of the 125th Transcendent Era, Lin Xue and the others successively completed their first class advancement.]
[The total number of personnel in the Red Heart Battle Team also exceeded two hundred, officially becoming a large-scale battle team recognized by the authorities.]
[In the same month, leveraging the old principal's connections and the borrowing procedures for large-scale battle teams, you secured a massive loan from the Yuncheng Branch of the Federal Bank.]
[Regarding this move of yours, the old principal asked whether you intended to rely merely on this little bit of money to establish a battle corps.]
[What kind of impact could that possibly make?]
[You did not give the old principal a definitive answer, merely telling him to watch closely.]
[Next, it was time for you to make your move.]
[Page 1/3]

[Page 2/3]
[In August of the 125th Transcendent Era, utilizing leverage in the futures market, you poured all your funds into shorting Snowbell Flowers.]
[On August 5th, capitalizing on the market panic triggered by the Mingxiu Group's announcement of the Snowbell Flower Secret Realm news, you made a jaw-dropping fortune.]
[Watching your operations in the futures market and linking them to your previous remarks, the old principal fell into deep contemplation.]
[Shortly after, he called you into his office and transferred his accumulated savings of many years directly into your account.]
[He knew that he was taking a gamble.]
[Yet for some reason, there was always an aura of trustworthiness about you.]
[As a fourth-rank powerhouse, the strength of his body and soul occasionally gave him premonitions during specific periods.]
[Therefore, he attached great importance to this instinctive feeling of his.]
[Since he felt you were reliable and trustworthy, he dared to make an astonishing investment in you.]
[If it succeeded, it went without saying.]
[Even if it failed, his savings of these past few years would at worst vanish into thin air—a loss he could still afford to bear.]
[The old principal's investment behavior was entirely within your expectations.]
[After all, you hadn't kept the shorting of Snowbell Flowers a secret from him precisely because you wanted to win his investment, thereby seizing greater capital amid future financial turbulence.]
[What you hadn't expected, however, was that Vice Principal Zhang was waiting for you outside the door, also transferring a very substantial sum of funds into your account.]
[In his own words, he was originally a protégé promoted single-handedly by the old principal.]
[Without the old principal, he probably wouldn't even know which low-level dungeon he'd be licking his wounds in right now!]
[All the wealth and glory of his life had been bestowed by the old principal!]
[When the old principal had gone all-in, what else did he have to hesitate about?]
[To this, you merely patted Vice Principal Zhang on the shoulder, assuring him that you would never let him down.]
[In October of the 125th Transcendent Era, you preemptively used all your funds to purchase shares in the Dragon Spirit Research Institute.]
[Along with the Dragon Spirit Research Institute's official announcement of a breakthrough in rune armor technology, you once again made a killing.]
[Your two successive rampages in the stock market inevitably attracted the attention of financial institutions and banks.]
[Backed by the old principal's endorsement, you signed an agreement with financial institutions: utilizing their funds, profits from stock trading would be split on a 7-3 basis, with you taking seventy percent and the opposing side taking thirty percent.]
[However, under this profit-sharing arrangement, in the event of any losses, you would be required to bear ninety percent of them.]
[You had no objections whatsoever to this agreement.]
[You knew the true nature of these financial investment institutions all too well.]
[To put it bluntly, from the moment those funds landed in your hands, they were already your money.]

[Page 3/3]
[After all, once they witnessed the development prospects of the Red Heart Battle Corps, even if you tried to return the money, they wouldn't accept it!]
[Another matter was to rope in all these institutional forces through the binding of interests, using their flesh and blood to nourish the Red Heart Battle Corps, and even utilizing their channels and backgrounds to help the Red Heart Battle Corps grow and expand.]
[Under such circumstances, the Red Heart Battle Corps was destined to possess an even more magnificent scale.]
[While you were busy with negotiations and stock trading, Lin Xue, at your indication, began establishing the Red Heart Society at Yuncheng First High and Yuncheng Second High.]
[The charter, various doctrines, and diverse welfare benefits of the Red Heart Society, once unveiled, immediately generated massive attention across the two universities.]
[Especially with the behind-the-scenes promotion by the school leadership of Yuncheng First High, the number of students joining the Red Heart Society skyrocketed.]
[Meanwhile, under your command, Zhao Feng established the Red Heart Society's external social branch outside the school.]
[This branch absorbed members through a missionary-style approach, but unlike the strategy adopted within the school, the branch did not aggressively recruit members among the general public.]
[After all, the Red Heart Battle Corps had not yet fully matured, and all actions needed to be handled with utmost caution.]
[In short, fueled by your massive infusion of capital, the Red Heart Society expanded at a visible rate.]
[The salute gesture and the fervent atmosphere began erupting both inside and outside Yuncheng.]
[On November 18th of the 125th Transcendent Era, you successfully broke through to Level 27.]
[Proposed by Lin Xue and approved by the Red Heart Society's management, this day was designated as Red Heart Day.]
[As the Red Heart Society spread and developed like an ancient primeval beast, certain leaders within Yuncheng First High expressed reservations about the matter.]
[Even the Education Bureau, upon learning of this, issued certain directives regarding the situation.]
[However, having witnessed your terrifying ability to generate wealth, the old principal thoroughly believed that you could establish a battle corps before graduation.]
[Consequently, he directly batted back the Education Bureau's opinions under the pretext of it being an experimental student club activity.]
[Just as you were preparing to pool your funds and purchase large quantities of incandescent gold oil in anticipation of the energy sanctions from the White Eagle Empire, a certain event caught your attention.]
[Du Yuhan had established the Jade Capital Society at Yuncheng First High, where the vast majority of welfare policies mirrored those of the Red Heart Society down to the letter; the Jade Capital Society had even constructed a related etiquette resembling the salute gesture.]
[Clearly, Du Yuhan intended to use the Jade Capital Society to rival the Red Heart Society under your command.]
[However, after reviewing the various policy ideas of the Jade Capital Society, as well as its frequently hosted speech contests and transcendent resource reward events, you couldn't help laughing out loud.]
[Was this supposed to be the Jade Capital Society?]
[This was clearly a branch of the Red Heart Society!]
