Demonic Stocks

Whenever the Shanghai Composite Index rises or falls by 1,000 points, something unusual happens to my body.

My name is Du Linze.

The person who modified me likes to call me Mushroom.

But they like to call me Demon Stock.

- You could call it a supernatural ability... but in truth, it's much more than that...

You can think of this modification as creating a kind of quantum entanglement.

- But I can tell you plainly, it's far more complicated than quantum entanglement.

You're probably thinking that since I'm so unusual, I must be able to predict the stock market.

- But the truth is, just like you, I don't find out what I'll turn into next until the market closes at 3 p.m. each day!

Of course, some busybodies insist on nitpicking and looking for signs of prediction in me. It really leaves me at a loss...

Though they do occasionally win.

- Still, I have to tell you, I've never believed I actually have that ability. It's just your illusion.

He told me that before me, he'd modified someone called Old Ba.

- Old Ba? Sounds like my favorite writer, Balzac.

You gamble with money. I gamble with all those unknown changes.

Sigh, money really is simpler...

It all begins with a story about someone called Eyebrows...
