437 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
Chapter 437: The Stock Market Oracle (Third Update) As soon as this post was released, the stock market forum was filled with astonishment. Typically, when experts make predictions, they gather various pieces of information and finally summarize it with something like: heavily invest in xx stock. But this post featured a small blackboard that directly predicted future K-line charts. Especially with the recent limit-up opportunities, not a single day was missed. It could only be described as a godlike prediction. Underneath this post, netizens were in an uproar. “Whoa, the original poster is amazing.” “I have a little sister-in-law, would the poster consider her?” “Main Poster, what's your Penguin (QQ) number? I want to hang out with you. I’m willing to pay tuition fees!” "Get rich with the original poster." In no time, the comments flooded the section under this post, and it quickly rose to the homepage. With its position on the homepage, it attracted even more viewers. Soon enough, some investors began voicing their doubts. "Poster, this picture doesn’t show any timestamps. How do we know you didn’t just make it to show off?" With that netizen's query, the tide began to shift, as expected on the internet. "Busted, busted, busted —” “Unexpectedly, the show-off was exposed in just one hour!” Facing an increasing number of people criticizing him, the original poster didn't want to just sit back and be ridiculed, so he typed a clarification: “Actually, this image isn’t my original work, I’m not that capable. It was predicted by an adorable little girl!” Hearing this, netizens launched a new wave of sarcasm. "It was on this dark and windy night that the poster started fabricating new stories.” "The poster is still trying to salvage his reputation, but I’m telling you, it’s too late." “An adorable little girl predicting stocks, hmm, that’s a nice reason! As the poster saw the continued mockery and disbelief, he made another post.” "Check out episode 17 of 'An Ya’s Heart-to-Heart'. You can see for yourself! It's from the popular star Su Si Yang’s sister!” Following this reveal, many netizens were perplexed. “An Ya's Heart-to-Heart? That’s not a show I’d want to watch.” “Su Si Yang has a sister?” "Has the stock market really sunk so low that they need celebrities to endorse it?" Although skepticism was predominant, many did decide to watch 'An Ya’s Heart-to-Heart'. To their surprise, they discovered that the blackboard from the post was indeed a screenshot from one of the interviews. After checking the release date and verifying the film's release schedule mentioned within, netizens confirmed that the original poster was telling the truth. Thus, this post rapidly went viral, beginning in the stock market forums. 'An Ya’s Heart-to-Heart', originally a niche internet show, skyrocketed to fame thanks to its rampant sharing within the stock market circles. The small blackboard full of dense stock predictions captured during the interview was turned into dynamic images by many internet users by morning. The most iconic segment featured Su Qi shaking her hands and saying: "Everyone, don’t follow those notes to buy stocks—I was just scribbling casually, don’t take it seriously!" Su Qi's naturally charming looks, coupled with this adorable gesture, made her even more endearing. But who would have thought that this soft-spoken girl could have such accurate predictions? One netizen joked: "When I watched that episode, I thought, who would invest based on a little girl's advice? Now I regret not doing so." "I thought she was just a cute little sister, didn’t realize she was a prophecy queen—no, a prophecy empress." As the K-line chart on that little blackboard gained fame, many netizens shifted their attention away from the central 'Jade Rabbit Jade Stone' stock, opting to zoom in and study the other stocks on the board. Unexpectedly, they found that, although the predictions for other stocks weren’t as precise as 'Jade Rabbit Jade Stone', they closely matched current trends. Bear in mind, these predictions were made a month ago. If 'Jade Rabbit's stock was a mere coincidence, then this many stocks couldn’t be just a coincidence. “Wow, looking at these prediction charts, I think the stock market oracle might make tens of millions?” “Tens of millions might be an overestimation—the oracle is just a university student, she wouldn't have that much capital!” “What’s happening? The oracle is a university student?” “Here’s the link, see for yourself—an 18-year-old school genius university student!” Consequently, Su University's forum exploded. Countless investors flooded the platform, eager to uncover Su Qi's true identity. Immediately, numerous dusty, near-forgotten posts about Su Qi were unearthed by these investors. People then discovered that the stock oracle’s life seemed filled with experiences, yet she wasn't a student in the finance department—she was in the computer science department! This revelation was truly astounding, causing Su University's forum to experience unprecedented congestion on the first day of the National Day holiday. After all, the modest server truly wasn’t equipped to handle such a sudden influx of users! Thanks to these investors, Su Qi once again became famous at Su University, even astonishing the school’s leadership. Especially Principal Lin Xiangdong, who was bewildered by everyone calling Su Qi a stock goddess. Lin Xiangdong found it hard to believe that the sweet, otherworldly girl who looked so gullible could actually be a stock goddess. While Lin Xiangdong was merely shocked, the finance professor Li Shuai, who once lectured Su Qi, was truly dumbfounded. He couldn’t fathom how the once unassuming girl who lost five grand transformed into a stock goddess. Li Shuai had seen Su Qi’s little blackboard online, and his feelings were mixed. Is this what they call surpassing the master? While Li Shuai’s feelings were mixed, Su Qi’s mentor Wu Liang felt a mix of pride and shock when an anonymous university student outed him as her mentor. Countless netizens, unable to reach Su Qi, @Wu Liang, hoping he could contact Su Qi to share stock tips, since her abilities were undeniably impressive to all! Su University's forum was abuzz with the Su Qi incident. But the excitement wasn’t confined to just the forum. Over at the 'An Ya’s Heart-to-Heart' production team, An Ya was preparing her notes and guests for the new episode when suddenly, production staff member Liu He exclaimed: “Sister An Ya, our 'An Ya’s Heart-to-Heart' has surpassed twenty million views!” When she heard this, An Ya thought it was just a joke; after all, what do twenty million views even mean? That’s what blockbusters get. Her show, at best a niche program, would normally be considered successful with 3 million views. Twenty million seemed impossible! But the next second, Liu He handed her his phone, and it indeed showed twenty million. This prompted An Ya to carefully check the backend on her notebook, and she found that it was only the seventeenth episode that had such an explosive view count. Initially, she thought it was Su Si Yang’s fans causing mischief, but as she watched the interview segment, her screen was filled with floods of bullet comments. “Witness the arrival of our stock queen. The day of enthroning has seen the stock goddess descend.” The overwhelming number of bullet comments left An Ya in disbelief. Watching the seventeenth episode yet again, she could hardly believe it. That girl with the exquisite figure, sweet looks, and pure eyes, as if broadcasting her gullibility to the world, you’re telling me she’s the stock goddess???
