The cold wind over 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 valley.

The sound of the wind was like the whimper of the earth, overshadowing the horn of the traveler at the end of the sky, and he turned his head to look back, and behind the layers of peaks, there was curling smoke wafting up, like a rising incense thread.

When the last incense in the incense burner burned to the end, when the flame was extinguished, the straight incense thread also dispersed, and the last moment the smoke dispersed, the sound of the chess pieces touching the chessboard echoed in the quiet room.

A fair-skinned and slender hand twisted the chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard, the Supreme Mage's hand had no traces of time, but with the rough texture left by the farming years, the lines spread along the back of her hand, and Gu Yi's eyes were still very calm when he looked at the chessboard.

She turned her head slightly, glanced at the burned incense, and said, "That's all for today." ”

Strange, who finally fell, glanced at the chessboard, the game was not intense, and it was clear that both sides of the game were a little absent-minded.

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

Wang walked in with a tray, and Strange put away the chess pieces and chessboard on the table and placed them under the table, and Wang took out tea and snacks from the tray he was holding.

Strange thought that there was a reason why Kama Taj could be called a holy place, and that it was a completely different feeling from living in New York.

He looked around the room, it was not large, the furniture was scarce, the floor was a little rough felt, the entire wall opposite was a wooden natural shelf, an incense case was placed in front, there were hanging paintings on the left and right walls, and two bonsai were 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, and after Strange had finished practicing his magic, he would play a game of chess with the Ancient One.

Strange didn't know how to play Go originally, but after a few days of practice, he was able to do it well.

After a stick of incense, they would put away the chessboard, drink tea and chat, and it was during this time that Strange learned about the mysteries of the universe from the ancient one.

The atmosphere here is completely different from what Strange had imagined before he arrived.

In Western mythology, the concept of a sacred place is often magnificent, the architecture must be magnificent, and the atmosphere must be mysterious.

This is not the case with the Kamaka Taj, and while the presence of such a structure deep in the Himalayas is a miracle in itself, the temperament here is more quaint and natural than sacred.

But Strange also had to admit that such an atmosphere gave him the peace and relaxation he hadn't seen for a long time, and his brain, which was almost carried away by money, gradually calmed down.

But again, in this atmosphere, Strange felt that what he was going to say next was not very easy to speak.

He looked around the room again, and although the furnishings were simple, each one was just right, and the traces of the vicissitudes of time could be seen.

Everyone here, whether it is a Supreme Mage or a beginner apprentice, has a light but agile temperament on them, and Strange always seems out of place in comparison.

And his next words may make him even more out of place.

"I see you're a little absent-minded." The Ancient One sat back down, and she blew on her tea and said to Strange.

"I'm sorry, teacher."

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

There was always a calming power in the Ancient One's tone, and Strange took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, and said, "Okay, but it's too hard to speak." ”

He looked at the swirling tea leaves in his teacup, tried to imagine this as the financial center of Wall Street, and then said, "Here's the thing, we have a plan......"

At this point, Strange already regretted it, and he always felt that it would not be long before he would be thrown out of this place.

So he paused, pressed his eyebrows, and tried to convince himself to go on.

"I had a lot of insights after listening to what the teacher told me about how to get along with the Dimensional Demon God, so I discussed it with a few friends, and they all agreed that the prosperity of the earth today is inseparable from the firm belief of the Supreme Mage......"

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

"But human beings have never been a race that sits idly by, and we don't want to put all our safety on the protection of others, so we ......"

Strange sighed again and said, "I'm sorry, but the next twist may be a bit surprising, so you'd better not drink tea." ”

When Gu Yi heard this, he put down the teacup, but the king was distracted when Strange spoke, and still drank himself slowly, he blew on the hot tea, and was "sucking" into it, when he heard Strange say, "...... We have made a financial scam plan against the Dimensional Demon God. ”

"Poof!"

The king squirted the tea from his mouth on the table.

Strange hurriedly took out a rag to wipe the table, and he said helplessly: "I warned you, the next turn may be amazing......"

"But it's amazing! Ahem! The king coughed in a choked voice.

Gu Yi was very calm, and even seemed interested, she asked Strange: "Financial fraud plan?" Tell me more about it. ”

Strange pulled a small projection device out of his coat pocket and placed it on the table.

When the eyes of the three were focused on the device, a projection suddenly popped up inside, and it was still Strange's face, he waved his hand at the camera and said, "Hello, I'm Strange, and I'm also the narrator of this project......"

The king looked at the projection, and then at Strange, who was sitting next to him, and asked suspiciously, "Can you just sit here and tell us if you can't?" Why do you want to get a projection? ”

Strange pointed to the projection, motioning for the king to continue looking.

At this time, the projection camera paused, and just when Wang and Gu Yi thought they were about to start talking, the camera suddenly zoomed out and filmed an entire conference room, with people in suits and leather shoes on both sides of the long table.

Then, the content in this projection video gave Gu Yi and Wang a full, detailed, and concise explanation of what the Universe Demon God's financial fraud plan is.

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

Since none of the four people involved in the discussion had a background in financial education, after completing the prototype of the plan, S.H.I.E.L.D. hired some powerful financial practitioners to help them refine the plan.

Most of these people were fished out of prison, the moral bottom line has been tested, and many of them have practical experience, so the plan quickly became perfect.

They explained how the scam worked in as meticulous and understandable a way as possible.

The so-called Ponzi scheme, also known as pyramid schemes, is the most classic financial fraud routine, and it is also the oldest one, but among all financial fraud routines, this kind of routine can be called enduring, endless, and there are people who engage in it from generation to generation, and some people from generation to generation are fooled.

Moreover, this routine has evolved to this day, and the people who will be fooled have changed from the original outburst households with low education and no understanding of economics and finance to young people who are now knowledgeable, capable, and educated.

There are even many people who know that this is a Ponzi scheme, and even the history and principle of this scam can be explained, but in the end they will still be fooled.

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

Low-input, high-return, intelligent creatures are always profit-seeking, and many people know that this tower will collapse sooner or later, and they always feel that they will be the one who takes the money and runs away.

After the explanation of these financial professionals, this principle has become easier to understand and more feasible.

They cite several examples that have happened in the past, and various variants that build on this basis, and even Wang, who has no interest in finance and economics, listens to it with relish.

In the process of listening to the lecture, he glanced at the Supreme Mage from time to time, and he found that the Ancient One's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the king instinctively leaned to the other side, only to find that the other side of him was Strange, who proposed this plan, and was also the future Supreme Mage.

Between the two generations of Supreme Mages, one old and one young, there was suddenly a very tacit understanding between them, and Wang had only one thought now - the Universe Demon God, danger.

After the projection ended, the Ancient One calmed his mind for a moment, and then spoke, "I didn't expect you to surprise me so much, Stephen. ”

"Well, I know it's a bad plan, but ...... Wait, surprise??? Strange looked at the Ancient One suspiciously, and found that the Ancient One did look at him with admiration and surprise.

Gu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that my story was not told in vain before, I really didn't expect that you would be able to find the crux of the current situation from these fragmentary stories." ”

"Uh......" Strange choked up, he was tempted to ask what the point was, but apparently the Ancient One had something to say.

Gu Yi sighed, and then said, "As I 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 are intelligent, communicative, have their own interests and positions, and have different personalities and personalities."

"They are born powerful, they have great powers beyond human comprehension, and most of them also have their own realms, which are distributed in all corners of the universe."

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

Then, Strange learned the truth about the whole world from the narration of the Supreme Mage Ancient One.
