Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 454 - 213: Antonie Yassen

Counter-terrorism intelligence serves as the beacon for the entire counter-terrorism strategy, warfare, tactics, and operations. It is the most effective and direct force in combating terrorism.

In intelligence interception, 80% comes from big data collection. This is also why the nation has been promoting the establishment of big data service centers and command centers in various provinces.

The remaining 20% is obtained through secretive means, and the United States spends a large amount of funds annually on counter-terrorism, precisely on this aspect.

The counter-terrorism training that Gu Ji received covers everything from technical surveillance to close reconnaissance, encompassing various conventional and unconventional terrorist attack methods.

"It also somewhat compensates for my lack of computer skills..."

Satisfied, Gu Ji took the prepared food from the fridge, sat down at his desk, and started munching on a beef burger while opening the US stock market to check the upcoming stock trends.

Exactly.

Considering that the establishment of Unit 7472 couldn’t proceed without financial support, Gu Ji wondered if he could utilize the "predict the future" function in the game levels to buy lottery tickets, stocks, or cryptocurrencies in advance.

To verify its feasibility, he picked a few US stocks’ hourly lines in the plane crash level and secretly jotted them down.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be providing meals and beverages for you. We hope you enjoy them. During the meal service, please adjust your seatbacks straight to facilitate passengers behind you. If you need assistance, we are happy to serve you at any time, thank you! Hola, señoras y señores..."

The PA system in the cabin of flight AM649 suddenly announced, as the purser Betty broadcasted separately in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The passengers had just taken off and were still in the excitement and thrill of the journey.

Towards the back of the economy class, a burly man in his fifties or sixties, wearing an olive green outdoor shirt, with a head of slicked-back hair and a face full of light brown stubble, was flipping through his notes and turning a pen with his other hand.

He was none other than Antonie Yassen.

Upon hearing the meal announcement, he slowly closed his notebook and said "Excuse me" to the elderly lady in sunglasses beside him, then stood up to access the overhead luggage compartment.

This time, he had just finished recording a program for the Discovery Channel and was planning to return to his old home in Brazil for some rest.

Yes, Yassen is an outdoor adventurer. He once served in the Brazilian Army’s Jungle Expedition Force. After retiring, he transferred to the BOPE special police team, widely known for combating drug crime, the "Skull" unit. After an injury in a drug bust operation, he ended his military and police career to pursue fitness and outdoor adventures.

After coming into contact with the Discovery Channel, he frequently traveled between the United States and Brazil, recording various outdoor adventure programs.

And just as Yassen opened the zipper of his outdoor backpack and casually stuffed in his notebook and pen, he didn’t notice that underneath the notebook in the backpack was a hidden red disc and a black binoculars.

"Hey, Betty, what’s on the menu today?"

"Tomato bacon pasta, along with croissants and ham sandwiches, Captain. Which one do you want?"

"Oh, it’s that terrible pasta again. Can’t they change meals that taste like crap?"

"Haha, Captain, you’ll have to report that to headquarters yourself, we small roles have no say in it. Koni, bring the food to the Captain."

"Okay, Purser."

At this moment, a black-haired flight attendant took a portion of pasta from the meal cart, nervously applied powder around the disposable paper meal box behind the purser, then knocked on the cockpit door as if nothing had happened, "Captain, your meal..."

In the cabin, after the flight attendant team was ready, they began to push the meal cart from both ends to serve the passengers with meals and drinks.

Approaching the rear section of the cabin.

A blonde flight attendant took the initiative to speak.

"Hello sir, we have prepared for you 7-Up, Coke, orange juice, tomato juice, coffee, tea, and water. What would you like to drink?"

"Sir?"

Yassen was about to respond when his back suddenly straightened, as if mechanical bearings had been installed.

Instantly, his gaze changed drastically, becoming extremely cold.

"Hoo...haa..."

Gu Ji opened his sleepy eyes and rubbed his eyelids.

Staying up all night watching the stock market had left him exhausted.

For the first two hours, the hourly chart trends of the stocks were exactly the same as those he had seen on the level phone, piquing his curiosity again. If he could truly exploit this bug, then he would rapidly accumulate millions of wealth in the cryptocurrency market by using 125x leverage.

But as time went on, the stock trends began to deviate gradually.

Initially, he thought he remembered incorrectly. As it was too late, Gu Ji felt a bit worn out and just fell onto the bed to sleep first.

Coming to the computer desk, he flipped through those few stocks to take a look.

The anticipation in his eyes instantly faded away.

The later data were entirely different from what he remembered from the plane crash level, only a small portion of the trends were roughly the same.

"I knew it, with this game’s dog-like money-grabbing strategy, how could it let me make money so easily in reality..."

Gu Ji took a sip of water and mumbled some curses at the game system.

Jokes aside, he still gleaned some hidden information from it.

Although uncertain, inferring from the level’s inability to accurately predict stock market charts, whether the entire focus of "Crisis Management Game" was solely on "crisis events, main storyline, characters, geographical environment, climate"—these key factors, while other irrelevant events like stock market, supermarket discounts, novel updates, etc., were all blurred.
