Chapter 483: Harvest, Exercise, and Financial Crisis

Lacey's treat was just a joke made by Luo An. Before going to the barbecue restaurant, Luo An called the owner of the restaurant. After they arrived at the restaurant, within a few minutes, beef, mutton, chicken, and various seafood were roasted. Vegetables were also brought to the table.

 “Cheers!” x6

At the fragrant dining table, the agents raised their glasses and drank, happily enjoying the food.

The next morning, Luo An was awakened by the urge to urinate. He climbed out of bed sleepily and walked into the bathroom to deal with his personal conflict.

This room is the second bedroom on the second floor of the villa, and it is also the room where Luo An lives on weekdays.

  Last night, under the influence of alcohol, both Mona and Roan got into the mood, so they played wildly for two hours in Mona's room, the master bedroom of the villa.

　　Afterwards, Luo An was about to go to the bathroom of the master bedroom to clean up, but was pushed out of the room by Mona.

This made Luo An very unhappy. What does it mean to throw it away after use?

 While washing, Luo An opened the light blue system page in his mind.

As expected of Luo An, the system rated Luo An’s handling of recent events as [Excellent], and he accumulated four treasure chests.

 After a rough cutscene, four treasure chests revealed a bottle of [Analgesic Potion], a bottle of [Hemostatic Potion], a bottle of [Featherfall Potion], and a bottle of [Swift Potion].

 At this time, in Luo An’s system warehouse page, there is [Stamina Potion x5] that can be dispensed almost every day.

  【Hemostatic Agent x5】

  【Antidote x5】

  【Swift Potion x4】

  【Strength Potion x3】

  【Sensitive agent x1】

  【Analgesic Medicine x6】

  【Featherfall Potion x3】

  【Sleep Potion x1】

  【Scuba Potion x1】

Luo An has been thinking about it and feels that the [Danger Sensing Potion] has the greatest effect has not been prescribed yet.

However, Luo An is not in a hurry. With the increasingly honest social atmosphere of the Federation, there will be opportunities to obtain treasure chests in the future. There are always treasure chests that can open [Danger Sense Potion]

After washing up, Luo An took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] and drank it in one gulp. His mental state was instantly full, and his lower back was restored to its best condition.

After changing his clothes, Luo An went downstairs and made two simple breakfasts. After eating his own portion, he rested for more than 40 minutes and walked into the gym at the corner of the first floor.

This gym was originally a room provided for nannies or chefs in the villa, but neither Luo An nor Mona like to hire nannies, and usually clean the room by themselves.

Since they couldn't deal with it anymore, the two called the community management and called two housekeeping staff temporarily.

This left the room vacant. Luo An and Mona happened to both have fitness needs, so they bought a treadmill, a spinning bike, dumbbells, floor mats and other items and turned the room into a gym. .

At first, there was a fitness ball in this room. Later, Mona and Luo An developed some new functions for this fitness ball, so Mona put the ball in the dressing room of the master bedroom.

　　Bang! Bang! Bang!

 In front of a red standing sandbag, Luo An was doing boxing and kicking exercises in a leisurely manner.

 Luo An has a very clear understanding of himself and the system. The system in his mind has a greater role in raising the upper limit of his physical fitness.

 Fighting techniques, killing techniques, marksmanship, etc., still require continuous hard work, learning and honing. These are the foundation of one's career.

"Good morning."

When Luo An punched the sandbags from various angles, he tied a ponytail and put on a set of dark gray underwear + gray high-waisted pants. Mona walked away carrying the breakfast that Luo An had prepared before. Entered this room.

Luo An exhaled a breath, looked back at Mona, and said with a smile:

"Good morning."

“The breakfast you made is much better than the breakfast I made.”

 After finishing breakfast in a few mouthfuls, Mona blinked her big eyes and asked doubtfully:

“Luo An, why is your boxing speed always so slow?”

Luo An grinned and replied:

 “Because I’m afraid that if I move too fast, I’ll beat the sandbag to death.”

He has lost count of how many bottles of [Strength Potion] Luo An has drank so far. He also drank a lot of [Strength Potion], which slowly increased over a long period of time, making Luo An very strong.

Luo An had secretly bought a hanging sandbag before. When he went all out, the sandbag was kicked away by Luo An and hit the wall. The contents of the sandbag were scattered all over the floor.

So Luo An hits the sandbag mostly to repeatedly practice his killing and fighting moves. Speed ​​is not important.     …”

 Mona knew that Luo An was very strong, but she didn't know what the specific situation was. She just thought Luo An was joking with her, rolled her eyes at Luo An, put the plate aside, and started to do simple muscle stretching.

It is not suitable to exercise just after eating, because it can easily lead to gastroptosis and other symptoms in the long run. It was not until more than 40 minutes later that Mona stepped on the treadmill and started to officially exercise.

Luo An continued to beat the sandbag leisurely. Mona trotted on the treadmill for a while and suddenly said:

“Luo An, I want to invest my money, do you have any suggestions?”

Yesterday, when Mona and Lacey were sitting together for dinner, they learned from Lacey that the stocks she had bought based on Luo An's advice had made her a lot of money.

 Eighty percent of the extra income Lacey later earned from the Special Investigation Unit was used by her to continue to buy those stocks.

No one cares about making money. Mona has always ignored this before. She only remembered this when she saw Lacey's face full of admiration and gratitude to Luo An.

"invest…"

Hearing this word, Luo An frowned slightly and slowly stopped punching.

 Luo An is not particularly familiar with the principles behind the financial crisis, but he remembers the story before the financial crisis officially broke out in 2008, when the Federal Savings Board began to raise interest rates.

 As interest rates increased, subprime borrowers could not afford the higher interest rates and interest rates, so they began to default on their loans.

Once these people defaulted on their loans, they started to trigger a wave of foreclosures. Eventually, companies lost money, banks went bankrupt, investment banks failed, and the financial crisis broke out.

 Time has come to 2006. When Luo An was taking a break some time ago, he took a look at the interest rate of the Federal Reserve Fund. It has increased a lot compared with 2004, which means that the financial crisis is coming soon.

 “…Luo An? Luo An?!”

Mona called out a few words loudly, and then asked:

 “What are you thinking about?”

"nothing."

Luo An, who came back to his senses, smiled, took off the gloves from his hand and threw them aside, and said with a smile:

“Mona, don’t worry about the investment. I will study it carefully for a while later.”

 “OK.”

Mona's face looked a little confused, but she still nodded and agreed. After such a long period of experience and running-in, she believed that Luo An would not lie to her.

 After finishing their fitness exercise, Luo An and Mona returned to their respective rooms, changed their clothes and set off to work.

　What makes Mona a little speechless is that Luo An always sits in the passenger seat of the white Ford she drives when he goes to work every day.

The black Ford sedan in the garage is only driven by Luo An during holidays. Luo An travels on weekdays, mostly driving the SUV of the Special Investigation Team.

In the follow-up work of [the murder case of a former team leader's family], due to the information provided by the Department of Homeland Security, the charges of Tahvili, the leader of the Naroa drug cartel, were quickly determined one by one, and the subsequent court trial Once the work is completed, there is no need for the special investigation team to continue to follow up.

In the next few days, under the wise leadership of the team leader Luo An, the agents of the special investigation team began their working life from nine to five.

Time quickly came to Friday next week. On a chair in the office area, Lacey held a bag of snacks in her hand and asked while eating:

 “What are your plans for the next two days?”

Winslow grinned and asked with a smile:

 “What, Lacey, are you going to treat me to dinner?”

Snapped-

 “Eat your snacks and don’t talk in your sleep.”

Lacie rolled her eyes at Winslow and threw a bag of snacks to Winslow.

Winslow laughed loudly. Lacey was too lazy to pay attention to him. She looked around and found that there was one less person in the office area, so she asked:

 “Where is Michelle?”

“When you went to the bathroom just now, she was called to the conference room by Luo An.”

Mona raised her hand and pointed to the room not far away and said:

 “Someone from the IRS came just now.”

 “IRS?!”
