America's Road to Fame

Chapter 260 Palu
"Young man, judging by your appearance, you should be a foreigner."

An old man with dark skin and white hair put a glass of iced drink in front of William Chen.

"Yes, I'm from New York, where is this place?"

William Chen asked strangely, he turned his head and looked, through the window of this bar, he could see the sandy beach and the sea outside.

The old man gave William Chen a strange look, and said, "This is Palu, a small country that is not well-known. How did you get here?"

"Uh, I don't know either..."

"Then you should go to the police station. Although as a local, I don't expect much from those police officers. Speaking of which, I have been to America when I was young, and it is really a good place."

With a reminiscence look on his face, the old man continued: "Our Palu has also developed, but that was more than half a century ago. I was still a child at that time, and I can still remember the happy life at that time. We were living right on top of the gold mines, with some of the highest incomes in the world, and it was a great time...”

After saying these words, the old man looked outside, as if observing the flying seabirds, the entire wooden bar suddenly fell silent.

William Chen is a little confused at this time, Palu?Never heard of it, what's going on?Have you crossed again?
At this time, he suddenly felt a little thirsty, picked up the iced drink in front of him, took a big sip, and suddenly felt a burst of coolness all over his body, as if every pore was open.

In this quiet bar, the only sound at this moment seems to be the TV on the wall:
"On October 2010, 10, American time, after Greece first broke out the sovereign debt crisis on June 20, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe is spreading. The exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar has risen from the high value of 6 at the end of last year. As of yesterday, After falling below the November 5 low of 1.5231, it reached 2005, a seven-year low.

Faced with this situation, last month, the European Union decided to jointly establish a rescue plan with a total amount of 7500 billion euros with the IMF to keep the euro stable.But the current effect is not significant. Just last week, Ireland also applied for assistance, and the European Union urgently approved a total of 850 billion euros in aid to Ireland.

In response to the debt crisis, many countries in the euro zone were forced to adopt fiscal austerity policies, which caused strong public dissatisfaction and protests. "

Attracted by the sound of the news, William Chen looked at the TV screen and found that it was CNN's financial report, but the time in the news made him very puzzled, wasn't he at the end of May?Why did the news mention October 5th?

When William Chen was thinking about this matter, he suddenly felt his body shaking.At first he thought it was his hallucination, but soon, he realized it was not.

Therefore, the cup containing the light red drink placed on the table was visibly vibrating, and the vibration gradually intensified, and even the drink inside was shaken out and dripped onto the table...

what's the situation?This is, an earthquake?

Chen Weilian just had this idea in his mind, when suddenly there was a "boom", he was pushed into the air by a scorching breath.

At this time, as his field of vision rose, he saw the whole picture of the island. It was a roughly oval-shaped island. As William Chen's body continued to rise, the entire island was only as big as a bottle cap in his field of vision. .

A mysterious feeling. At this time, William Chen didn't seem to be just "seeing" with his eyes. He could even feel the turbulent surge in the deepest part of the island. magma……

He felt as if the time had been fast-forwarded, and a fire erupted on one side of the island, followed by a mushroom cloud of thick smoke...

I don't know how much time has passed, it seems to be just a moment, and it seems to be a century. When the thick smoke gradually dissipated, William Chen was surprised to find that the location of the original small island has turned into a big island with an area of ​​[-] square meters. It was more than ten times larger than before, a highland appeared in the center of the island, and with the rising of the crust under the sea, the tsunami formed spread to the surroundings, until the extreme far away...

……

William Chen stood up and found himself in the bedroom of the Long Island Manor. The real experience just now was a dream.

However, this dream is not just a dream.

Open the interface of Future Bank, and in the item bar, a new [Future Eye Fragment] appears, the content of which is exactly the scene of his dream last night recorded from the first perspective.

After learning that Ivanta was pregnant, William Chen spent a good day with her. He knew that women also needed company at this time.

At the same time, Paris has always been bound to his bank in the future. Now, just to be on the safe side, he changed the binding to Ivanta, and the loan amount immediately changed from the previous 5 million US dollars to $10 billion.

He knew Paris's temper very well. If he knew about this matter, it would definitely take a lot of effort to coax him, and he had already decided on a marriage contract with Ivanta, so this operation would be natural.

It's just that he found a change in the inventory——

[Songzi Avalokitesvara Statue] Having more children can solve all problems. With this statue, every time you have a blood relative, you will get a chance to draw a luxurious lottery here, and you can have a great chance to win high-end items.

This item was obtained by William Chen in the lucky draw for Thanksgiving rewards. William Chen almost forgot the existence of this item, because he really has a child. For his current age, it seems quite far away. You know, in another month He has only turned 22 years old. In Huaguo at this time, this age is considered an early marriage, let alone the United States.

Then, William Chen found out that he had won a lottery chance, er, it was a luxurious lottery chance... Looking at the introduction before, he thought that he had to have a child to have a chance, so when he heard that Ivanta was pregnant yesterday, Didn't think about it at all.

But I didn't expect that the opportunity was given when life was conceived...

What a luxurious lottery, this time William Chen got——

【Future Eyes (Intermediate/Random)】Randomly triggers items and can participate in events of global concern in the future.

Uh, the introduction is very simple, and it is not like the elementary [Future Eye], which is used by oneself. This needs to be triggered randomly. William Chen has been studying for a long time and has not figured out how to activate it, so he went to sleep and rest first.

But I didn't expect that in the dream, I experienced the future event of this [Future Eye].

William Chen, who was already quite experienced in these matters, began to analyze the information obtained through this [Future Eye].

First of all, this is indeed an event that will definitely attract global attention. In the future he has experienced, after the volcanic eruption, a small island has expanded by more than ten times. How much energy will this eruption be?Anyway, Chen William did not find such a large-scale related report in the recorded history of mankind.

What's even more strange is that such a thing didn't seem to happen in my previous life. The most sensational thing at that time was the volcanic eruption in Tonga, but in terms of scale, it couldn't be compared with this time.

This incident happened on an island called Palu. According to TV news reports, this incident will happen on October 10 this year, American time, less than 20 months from now.

Another piece of information, which is also very important, is that through the CNN news report in the dream, the European sovereign debt crisis is about to break out in June. On August 8, the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar will drop to 20, which is also a very useful information.

William Chen checked it out, and the current price of the euro against the dollar is 1.4766, which means that the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar will drop by 20%, which is also a good investment opportunity.

Then he checked Palu's information in general:

The Republic of Pauru, referred to as Palu, is located in the central and western part of the South Pacific Ocean and is known as "Paradise Island".With an area of ​​only 30 square kilometers, Nauru is the smallest island country in the world with a population of about 1.2.

Palu used to be one of the richest countries per capita in the world, because for thousands of years, countless seabirds came to live on this small island, leaving a lot of guano on the island. Through chemical changes, it becomes a layer of high-quality fertilizer with a thickness of 10 meters, which is called "phosphate mine".3/5 of the whole island is covered by phosphate, and there is only a narrow strip of flat land along the coast.

Therefore, this country was once known as "the country on guano". By mining the island's phosphate mines for export, the average annual income of Palu residents was as high as 2.25 US dollars, making it the richest island country in the South Pacific.
