Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 305:

Chapter 305: 136, offering a big reward for hiring mercenaries! Important intelligence about Chen Shanhe!_6

“Let’s have fun first, then we can think about other things,”

“Hmm, I’ll listen to you,”

…

The next day, the family went to various tourist destinations and had fun all day long.

Lin Siyu and Li Jinwen took a lot of photos while Zhang Li, after being away from the military for many years, once again experienced the joy of shooting.

Lin Mo himself didn’t particularly enjoy playing, perhaps because he had a lot on his mind and couldn’t truly relax, but seeing his family happy made him happy too.

At the same time, Lin Mo was also constantly collecting intelligence about securities and stocks, looking for opportunities to make a move.

When the early hours arrived, the system’s notification sound rang out, presenting Lin Mo with ten new pieces of intelligence, several of which immediately caught his high attention.

[Today’s Intelligence]

….

“What the hell? Just messing around with a gun and I can get the latest machine gun design?”

Lin Mo opened the firearm shooting chart and looked at it for a while. He couldn’t understand the dense data, but suddenly he had a bold idea.

“So, if I stare at an F22, can I get the blueprints to the fighter jet?”

Although he didn’t understand fighter jets either, Lin Mo knew that the F22 was one of the most advanced fighter jets on Blue Star, and every country wanted to get its blueprints.

If he could get them, wouldn’t that be a way to save his life?

Or even, could he use this intelligence to deal with Grand Xia’s big shots, and with their help, take down Chen Shanhe?

As exaggerated as the idea was, if this path were really viable, then what he could hold in his hands would not be limited to the F22 fighter’s intelligence.

Maybe even Baiden’s nuclear launch box code?

Lithography machines?

CPUs?

America’s nuclear weapon count?

Various analysis reports from America’s think tanks?

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?

These secrets, viewed by others as absolutely confidential and impossible for outsiders to discover, were potentially obtainable by Lin Mo with the help of the Intelligence System.

“However, if I really did this, I fear what I’d face wouldn’t just be Chen Shanhe’s pursuit,”

“No country would allow such an uncontrolled person to exist, especially someone who knows all kinds of secrets and is an unstable element,”

“To put it simply, this world doesn’t allow someone that badass, and I’d probably end up being monitored as a tool,”

“But I could consider it a direction, start paying attention to this information, and store it in the Intelligence System, just in case it comes in handy someday. To be prepared, to save my life!”

Lin Mo’s mind was filled with ideas, and he immediately continued to look at the rest of the intelligence.

“GameStop’s stock rising more than tenfold in one day?”

Among the information Lin Mo had learned in the past few days, such occurrences were extremely rare in the stock market. A stock rising 10 percent was already considered premium, one doubling in price was called a monster stock, and stocks increasing tenfold hadn’t been seen in over a decade.

Moreover, GameStop, this particular stock, was being targeted by famous short-selling firms, making a sudden surge even less likely.

Lin Mo quickly checked into GameStop’s company and found that it hadn’t made any significant moves recently, the company was languishing as if just waiting for the day it would declare bankruptcy and restructure.

After all, it was a retail and service sector for games; it had its day in the sun, but it was easily taken down by Sony with the PS3, and the arrival of PC platform Steam further sent GameStop tumbling to rock-bottom.

That it was still alive was solely because it still carried some classic, nostalgic games, and thus could cling to a small market share.

Such companies, once prominent but now on the verge of bankruptcy, are the darlings of major short-selling firms.

‘Short selling’ means betting on the prediction that the stock or futures market will decline. Short sellers sell their holdings at market price, then repurchase them after prices fall, making a profit from the difference.
