On New Year’s Eve, Qin Shiqi intensely trained and endured agonizing pain in a breakthrough pod to unlock the next Gene Lock, emerging with enhanced strength under Tang Qing's strict oversight. Tang Nian’er and Qin Shiyu geared up for their own breakthroughs, motivated by the benefits despite the ordeal. The next day, business partners and provincial leaders visited the manor, marveling at Tang Qing's gold-painted carved couplets while children competed in lawn games for New Year’s money prizes. Tang Qing delivered a remote speech at the Davos Annual Meeting before teleporting to Pluto to evaluate its mining potential.

In Huaxia, during the Spring Festival period.

Europe.

The Eurozone tried once more to shift focus, claiming the Asia Dollar had issued too much, exceeding its credit worthiness. They urged all to stay alert and come back to the Euro's fold.

Initially.

Lots of folks reacted.

But.

By the third day.

On January 29th, Myanmar's Central Bank released a statement---its gold reserves had climbed to 4,700 tons, with plans to keep rising this year.

Suddenly.

The entire world fell quiet!

All were stunned by Myanmar's daring action.

Eurozone.

Every nation.

They froze briefly, wondering what was happening? Just dumping gold like that, so lavish? Yet they soon came up with an excuse and fired back right away.

"Something's fishy; Myanmar's probably dipping into gold for bond payouts to pad the central bank's reserves short-term."

"Fake!"

"Shameless, showing Myanmar's real colors."

"Scammers."

"…"

At a glance.

Plenty believed it sounded logical, questioning the sudden gold surge.

Yet.

In just two days, Myanmar revealed new 300 billion Asia Dollar gold bonds. Plus, the prior two batches could swap for gold ahead of schedule, per the deal.

Witnessing this!

Countless were left dumbfounded in shock.

Hell!

This is insane—600 billion Asia Dollars in gold bonds, per past terms, equaling over 1,600 tons of gold delivery.

Theoretically.

Delivery set for three years out.

But now.

They say it's fine to hand it over immediately. Unbelievable! It proves Myanmar can pull out 1,600 tons anytime.

Excluding central bank stocks.

"Possible?"

"Gotta be bogus."

"Not bogus, Myanmar wouldn't go nuts."

"Wow!"

"Over 1,600 tons of gold! Good lord, where'd they unearth it? Even that seabed mine yields just 700 tons yearly."

"…"

Worldwide buzz erupted.

Facing this, numerous bond holders felt tempted. The initial one-year gold bonds had under a year till exchange.

Second batch over a year and a half away.

Now though.

Instant gold conversion available, sparking joy. Nations that bought without speculating plans all sent letters to Myanmar.

Inquiring about gold swaps.

Soon.

Myanmar replied affirmatively: Starting February 5th, exchange requests accepted, nations could fly planes straight to the capital for pickup.

Instantly.

Opinions boiled over.

"Holy crap! It's real, no caps."

"God!"

"Euro's stunned, badmouthing others only to get slapped hard. Can't fathom Myanmar's gold stash; Asia Dollar's rock solid."

"Euro's distraction ploy worked, then backfired big time."

"…"

Myanmar's directness was mind-boggling, letting folks haul gold in a week. Eurozone nations nearly coughed up blood.

Since.

They'd turned into utter fools.

Doubting?

Slapped down instantly, hurting the Euro while boosting Asia Dollar's clout. Tried grabbing chicken, lost rice instead.

Right then.

They desperately wanted a hole to hide in.

United States.

Consortiums watched.

Green with envy.

Again, calls to hijack Myanmar rang out, but got quashed. Lately, DuPont consortium chatted with Japan, backing Asia Dollar deals.

True enough.

They consented.

But dragged feet reluctantly. Spotting Myanmar's gold pile, Japan demanded: gold sales as backing.

Before.

First batch.

Second batch.

Japan grabbed many gold bonds, over two hundred tons total. Craved more; only Myanmar seemed to have it.

So.

They reached out to Gitti.

"How much gold does Myanmar truly hold?"

"Plenty."

"…"

"Japan wants extra this round. That'll make them hustle harder; no issues on your end?"

"None."

With orders in hand, Gitti nodded fast, "By year-end, 300 tons possible, double next year if teamwork shines."

Uttering this.

Gitti felt a twinge of wonder. The organization's gold seemed effortlessly available. But it wasn't her concern; orders were orders.

"Perfect, deeper cooperation ahead."

"Straightforward."

"Gold deals must be settled solely with Asia Dollars," Gitti chimed in.

"Of course."

The consortiums felt delighted, with advantages for everyone involved.

...

Japan.

Eagerly awaiting updates, fantastic news finally came.

"Three hundred tons? Outstanding!"

At first.

Pressure from the consortiums left them deeply irritated, yet Myanmar’s announcement hit at the perfect moment, providing leverage to ease their frustration.

Gold.

Japan craved it badly.

Tiny quantities offered no value.

Hundreds of tons, however, transformed everything—not merely as reliable riches but as the foundation of monetary stability. In principle, their tech alone could sustain currency trust.

However.

Terrified of falling into traps, they felt insecure.

Therefore.

Gaining gold made surrendering minor payment portions a small price. Visions of 600 tons next year thrilled them even more.

Utterly thrilled.

Clearly.

This alliance looks incredibly promising.

"With that settled, let’s play along somewhat. Next year’s 600 tons of gold will demand heaps of Asia Dollars—just rake them in through payments."

"Exactly."

"Regarding the Euro versus Asia Dollar clash, no issue there; we can’t topple the Euro, but needling it feels great."

"Haha."

"Besides, American consortiums’ approval means no fear of France or Germany. No clue where Myanmar unearths its gold—like it’s just lying around roadside."

"Alas!"

"Why can’t we boast such massive gold deposits?"

"..."

Myanmar’s total gold reserves stay shrouded in mystery. Oversupply sparking a huge price plunge? They shrugged it off, viewing gold as a timeless natural currency.

Even if it floods out.

So what?

Its inherent value endures, especially since countries snap it up for central bank stockpiles, and trades loop strictly among governments.

It bypasses everyday markets.

Therefore.

Flooding the market with more gold won’t tank prices—no panic. Folks might still invest personally, but nations remain indifferent if it halves or doubles.

Possession matters most to them.

Once sold off.

Snagging back tons proves incredibly tough.

...

Why rush the early payout? Beyond smacking the Euro, it pumps up the Asia Dollar’s transaction slice. Only finalized deals truly count.

Gold bonds.

To be precise, they’re financial exchanges. Funds received, goods undelivered. Settling those initial two gold shipments now.

Generates a whopping 600 billion in payments.

Tang Qing senses.

The Asia Dollar could even eclipse the Euro prior to its downfall.
