This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Chen Mo: I Really Am a Genius

He first recalled Xia Shiqing’s ID.

After searching for it, he followed the account.

Then he clicked into her profile and saw she had posted a new note last night.

The topic was—

"Is it normal for my boyfriend to touch my boobs after dating for twenty-some days?"

Seeing this post, Chen Mo couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

’So it turns out Xia Shiqing asks about everything online?’

He really couldn’t connect the content on Xia Shiqing’s account with her real-life cold-goddess image.

The contrast between the two was just too huge!

He thought that if he told people in their circle this account belonged to Xia Shiqing...

...probably no one would believe him.

After a chuckle, he swiped his finger across the screen to browse the comments below.

"? Jimei, it’s only been two hours since your last post about your boyfriend touching your leg..."

Xia Shiqing replied: "Yeah, it’s been two hours."

"Which general does your boyfriend serve under? He’s advancing awfully fast."

Xia Shiqing replied: "Is it too fast?"

"I told you before, you can’t let a man have it too easily, or he’ll take a mile when you give him an inch. At this rate, the next step is probably ’cooking’."

Xia Shiqing replied: "Can’t we ’cook’?"

"Men always want something new. Once they get tired of you, they’ll easily find other women on the side."

Xia Shiqing replied: "Aren’t all men like that? I don’t care about that."

"???"

...

After seeing the comments and Xia Shiqing’s replies, Chen Mo found it a bit hard to take.

If anyone else had said that, he wouldn’t have believed them.

What woman wouldn’t care if her boyfriend or husband was seeing other women?

But when Xia Shiqing said it, he truly believed her.

All he could say was that Xia Shiqing’s father deserved a medal for this.

Chen Mo stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

Then, TAP TAP TAP, he started typing on his phone screen.

"Jimei, don’t listen to the nonsense in the comments. These are all single ’lemon monsters’ who can’t stand to see others happy."

"I’m in a passionate relationship right now, and I can only tell you that I regret it. I regret not getting close with my partner sooner!"

"My partner and I held hands on the first day we met, kissed on the second, reached the ’high ground’ on the third, and ’cooked’ on the fourth..."

"That wonderful feeling of flying up to the clouds is just absolutely amazing!"

"Some things are too risqué to talk about here, but those who know, know. Jimei, we can follow each other, and if you don’t get it, you can DM me."

Chen Mo did his best to imitate the tone and vocabulary of the app’s users, posting the content he wanted Xia Shiqing to see.

He didn’t say too much. This had to be done slowly.

First, he’d see if Xia Shiqing would follow him back.

If she did, he could more easily convey his thoughts and ideas to her through direct messages.

For instance, he could instill in her some ideas, like how it’s already 5202 and nobody cares about rules like how long you have to date before ’cooking’.

If your heart flutters, go for it!

When the feeling hits, just do it!

Later, he would teach Xia Shiqing some methods to make her boyfriend happier and like her even more.

If Xia Shiqing used the methods he taught her, he would praise her profusely.

After a few times, Xia Shiqing would come to deeply trust "NoCilantro (InLove Edition)."

She’d think he was an absolute master of love!

He might even become Xia Shiqing’s online love guru.

When the time came, he’d be her boyfriend on one hand, and her love guru on the other.

A perfect closed loop.

Whenever he wanted Xia Shiqing to try some play he liked, he could just log into his guru account and guide her personally!

He could even send her "study materials."

Absolutely perfect.

’Am I really a genius?’

Chen Mo was a little impressed with his own brain for coming up with such a devious plan.

Just then, he saw someone had replied to the comment he just posted.

"Wait, sis? You ’cooked’ on the fourth day and you regret not doing it sooner... How much sooner could you get?"

"You don’t understand. When two people are in love, everything just falls into place. Time isn’t a barrier at all."

Chen Mo transformed into a relationship expert and quickly typed a reply.

"Sis, you’re so brave! I actually really agree with your point of view. Also, my partner and I ’cooked’ on the third day, one day earlier than you..."

Seeing this reply, Chen Mo was stunned.

’Damn, there’s an even bigger expert here!’

"Don’t care about what others think. Please yourself and your other half. The brave get to enjoy the good things in life first!"

Chen Mo just copied and pasted a random sentence to reply to the other person.

He needed experts like this to fan the flames.

After replying, he put down his old phone.

The bait was set; now he just had to wait for the fish to bite.

It was like fishing in a fishmonger’s tank at the market.

There was no way he’d come back empty-handed, right?

...

「The night passed uneventfully.」

「The next morning.」

Chen Mo did his usual half-hour morning workout, then went home to shower.

While showering, he felt like his physical condition had returned to how it was when he was 18.

Especially when he woke up in the morning, he’d open his eyes to a large tent pitched by his comforter.

’The more I train, the more my constitution improves, right?’

Chen Mo pondered while he showered.

He was only jogging every morning, and his physical fitness had already improved so much.

If he went to the gym and upped the intensity, would it improve even more?

’I’ll get a gym membership later and see how it goes.’

Chen Mo made up his mind.

After a simple breakfast, he waited for the stock market to open.

He deposited a sum of money into the account he had opened with Citic.

Whether he bought stocks with it or not, he was leaving it in there.

He needed to "age" the account first so he could eventually enable margin trading and use leverage.

The time reached 9:30.

The stock market opened.

As expected, Ruisheng Pharmaceutical was still in the green.

This stock still had potential; he’d just let it sit and slowly rise.

Chen Mo then checked on the other nine stocks he had bought along with Ruisheng Pharmaceutical.

’They’re still rising, just as I thought!’

Just as he had predicted, all nine stocks were a sea of green.

Not a single one was in the red.

’But the gains seem a bit smaller compared to last week.’

Chen Mo noticed a few details.

’Could it be that because I profited from Ruisheng Pharmaceutical, the gains on the other nine stocks are shrinking?’

He scratched his ear, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

But that seemed quite reasonable.

These nine companies didn’t have any major good news. If they kept rising like this, it would defy market logic.

He estimated that in a little while, these nine stocks wouldn’t just stop rising, but would actually start to pull back.

’Even a mosquito’s leg is still meat. I’ll buy a little of each.’

Although the gains were smaller, Chen Mo still chose to buy.

He bought around 300,000 worth of each stock, totaling about 2.7 million for all nine.

Even if these nine stocks only averaged a 2% gain per day, that was still a profit of 54,000 a day.

That wasn’t a small amount at all, at least much higher than bank interest.

As for the rest of the money, he planned to keep it in reserve.

He once again ’carefully selected’ 10 stocks and bought one lot of each.

Just like before, they were all stocks of companies with poor performance.

He decided to attempt another "crash-for-cash" style activation.

The money he’d kept was for this purpose. Once his constitution was activated...

...that money could be invested at any time.

DING~

Chen Mo had just finished buying stocks when someone sent him a WeChat message.

"Hi Chen Mo, I’m Pan Kejia, the girl who was with Zheng Xiaoxiao at Disney the other day."

Seeing this message, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

’Didn’t I ignore her friend request?’

’When did she get added?’
