Chapter 691 The Beast Tamer

There is no doubt that whether it is the redefinition of time by the soul guard or the power of fate mastered by Volente, Zhang Cheng has been greatly troubled.

Strictly speaking, these two points are not areas he is good at, and it is impossible to verify them from a certain aspect, and it is impossible to apply some ready-made theories to comprehend them forcibly, so after hesitating for a few hours, he resolutely decided to put these two points first. set things aside.

Anyway, there are still three months left, so he can think about it slowly, maybe he can go to other worlds to find the answers he needs.

The most important thing right now is to go to the Atlantic Ocean to salvage the key that opens the city of gold.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng put away the ancient parchment books spread out on the table, placed them on the shelf casually, opened the door and walked out of the study on the second floor.

Just as he was about to return to the lobby on the first floor to enjoy the breakfast prepared by the invisible servant, he suddenly confronted Elizabeth who had just left the bedroom.

"Ah!" The girl covered her nose on the spot and let out a scream, and then complained in a low voice: "Damn it! When did you come back? Why didn't I hear a sound?"

"Sorry, I've been in a lot of trouble recently. I've been staying in the study since I came back last night. It's not surprising that you didn't hear anything." Zhang Cheng explained, helped his girlfriend up, and raised his hand to release a cloud of light. The energy of the holy light restored the red nose to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Feeling that the soreness in her nose had disappeared, Elizabeth raised her head and asked in a very curious tone, "What's the trouble? Can you tell me?"

"No! The more you know about something, the more dangerous it is. I don't want you to be exposed to danger. Okay, don't ask so many questions, let's have breakfast together, and tell us about your recent campus life by the way." Zhang Cheng Resolutely changed the subject, grabbed the girl's waist and carried her down the stairs, enjoying the momentary peace and warmth.

"Ha! Campus life is not as interesting as you imagined! But some time ago, a handsome rich guy came and made a lot of little Bichi happy. Some even offered a reward to the first girl who took him down. Or boys, who can get eight hundred dollars in cash. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded so far. Also, I found that he seems to be very interested in me." Elizabeth blinked playfully.

Zhang Cheng obviously knew that the girl was deliberately teasing him, so he joked with a smile, "So what about you? Did you give him any response?"

"How is it possible! That guy is just a rich playboy, how can he compare to you. Honey, I think you have an obligation to reward my loyalty." Saying that, Elizabeth was like an octopus, her whole body Pounced on.

The next thing is naturally popular among men and women, and it is beneficial to physical and mental health.

After taking a shower after exercising, the two of them sat at the dining table refreshed and ate a steaming breakfast.

I saw Elizabeth skillfully picked up a fried egg and took a bite, said without raising her head: "Oh, by the way, a woman named Maggie came to you last evening, and she said that she had something very important to talk to you about. Talk face to face."

"Maggie?" A strange color flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

"That's right! I don't think she looks like a liar, you'd better go there yourself." Elizabeth quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, showing a reasonable side.

Although she is still very young, but due to the awakening of the witch's blood, instead of being ignorant and stupid like most American teenagers, she has incredible insight. She can judge the relationship between the two at a glance, but she is smart. Point broken.

"Okay, I see, thank you. Also, you don't have to worry about Maggie. If one day I need to choose between her and you, I will choose you without hesitation." Finished the food on the plate at a fast speed, got up, put on new clothes and left the villa, ending this slightly awkward conversation.

However, he obviously did not expect that just as he left, the black unknown creature with the shape of a cat brought back from the Fragmented World jumped onto the table on his back, proudly showing off in English, "How is it? My suggestion is not bad, right?"

"Hey! Cody is the best! But I have a question, how do you know that I am the number one in his mind?" Elizabeth wiped the crumbs stuck to the corner of her mouth, her face covered with tears It's a puzzled expression.

"It's not easy! Through attitude! Haven't you discovered it yet? Among so many opposite sexes, he will only relax a little bit of vigilance when facing you, and at the same time generate a lot of pleasant emotions. Remember, Make good use of this, as long as it is not too much, he will satisfy all your requirements." The movement of the unknown creature imitator cat called Cody, gracefully picked up a bottle of jam and licked it, revealing incomparable beauty in his eyes. enjoy.

Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that our relationship is much closer than I imagined..."

"Intimacy? No, no, no, my little cutie, the relationship between you is not just that simple of intimacy, but is forcibly connected together by some invisible force. Unless one of the parties dies, it will never be possible to separate ’” Cody explained, wagging his tail.

"It's a good thing, isn't it?" Elizabeth's tone revealed uncertainty.

"It's a good thing for you, but it's hard for him. Because from the enemy's point of view, you are equivalent to his exposed weaknesses and weaknesses, and you are an easier target. In addition, inform You said, because your strength has grown rapidly recently, I will complete my second evolution in the next few days, and I need to sleep for a long time, it is best not to disturb me if there is nothing."

After saying this, Cody threw away the empty glass bottle, and jumped through the crack of the door.

"Evolved again? It seems that I can consider finding another suitable pet..." Elizabeth muttered to herself.

Undoubtedly, Cody's ability to change from a cute fragmented world creature to a talking magical creature is all due to a talent she awakened not long ago.

To put it simply, it is to inject the witch's blood and magical energy into the body of a certain creature, so that it can complete a similar genetic mutation and become an out-and-out magical creature with high IQ.

Of course, this kind of endowment is not unlimited, and the witch must have a certain level of strength, otherwise there is a danger of being backlashed by pets.

But right now, the first pet has evolved twice in a short period of time, which shows that the degree of blood awakening is much higher than expected, and it is completely acceptable to have another new pet.

Unlike Catherine, the Witch of Desire, Elizabeth's current awakened ability seems to be closer to an auxiliary "beast trainer" except for the most basic ideas.

It's just that the "beast tamer" referred to by the underground world does not simply train beasts, but endows ordinary beasts with certain supernatural powers and orders them to fight for themselves when they encounter danger.

Chapter 692 Game Time

Someone once said that New York is the essence of the entire United States, and Manhattan is the center of New York.

In particular, Wall Street, which extends from Broadway Road to the East River in the south, is known as the heart of the world's financial capital system. Every successful businessman aspires to own his own company or office building here.

Of course, since large consortiums including Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont, as well as the headquarters of heavyweight institutions such as Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange, and the New York Futures Exchange are all located here, the real estate prices are almost the highest in the world, at least After the Japanese economic bubble burst in the 90s until now, there is no place that can compare with it.

But none of this had much to do with Zhang Cheng. The reason why he drove here was just to find out what was important about Maggie's visit to him.

You must know that according to the previous agreement between the two, they are not allowed to affect each other's private life, let alone come to the door directly.

Obviously, something must have happened to make this mature and stable woman panic and break her original promise.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, walked into the elevator alone, pressed the corresponding floor, and entered the beauty and health care product company with three capital English letters printed on it after ten seconds.

As the only son and heir of the owner of the company, he walked through the busy office with ease, and greeted Maggie with a tired face lying on the table with her eyes closed and meditating with a smile: "Hey! Good morning, my dear. Insomnia at night?"

"Oh——God! Damn it! You finally appeared! You know, the company has encountered some big troubles recently, and many venture capital companies are eyeing us, hoping to raise large-scale financing for the company before going public." Maggie hurried Rubbing his dry eyes, he issued a serious warning.

In the United States, a paradise of financial capital, no company that is about to go public can escape the bite and devour of capital predators.

Whether it was Microsoft and its founder Bill Gates who were all-powerful back then, or Google, Bookface, and Amazon e-commerce that came from behind, they all chose to bow to Wall Street financial capital without exception and gave up a large number of shares in their hands.

In particular, Microsoft, which was the first to openly resist Wall Street financial capital, was almost dismembered because of monopoly issues.

As many Americans joked, in this country, talented entrepreneurs may have a certain chance to make a fortune, but they definitely do not make as much money as the financial giants headed by banks.

The reason is very simple. Once the latter discovers that a company has potential, it will immediately rush up and wave the banknotes to acquire the shares in the hands of the founders like a shark smelling blood, and then directly dilute the shares through time and time again. The company seized it through legal means.

If you're lucky, maybe the founder can still retain a certain percentage of the shares. If you're unlucky, you might be kicked out of the board of directors.

As for those who dare not accept financing from big predators, most of them will have three-meter-high graves in a few years. Even Microsoft, a monopoly enterprise with its own strength, was tossed enough in the end and made a compromise in desperation.

It can be said that the several major banking consortiums centered on the Federal Reserve have monopolized almost all aspects of the United States, and they must intervene in anything that can make money.

"Financing? It sounds interesting. Tell me, what methods did those guys use?" Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin and asked with great interest.

Maggie hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied: "They threatened to cut off our retail network if they don't accept it. You know, the company doesn't open its own brand stores right now, it relies on counters in some shopping malls all over the United States and Europe. So in terms of sales channels, it’s like being stuck in the neck.”
