Even if someone makes hundreds of millions, they won't feel the slightest bit of heartache; that's true madness!
Li Ling now understood. It turned out that Gu Ziyun's disappointment was not because he lost, but because he was addicted. Li Ling stopped him from gambling!
He walked over, his face calm: "Why not exchange them for larger denomination chips? This pile is too conspicuous."
Gu Ziyun chuckled, grabbed his arm, and said matter-of-factly, "I won the money through my own abilities, so why can't I flaunt it?"
Li Ling: "..."
What you said makes so much sense, my husband can't argue with that.
Gu Ziyun stared excitedly at Li Ling: "Honey, tell me, aren't I amazing! Two hundred million! That's over 30 billion Korean won, so much money!"
The young girl also came from a working-class family and had never seen so much money before.
Two hundred million yuan, plus the one hundred million yuan that Li Ling had already exchanged, totaling three hundred million yuan, is a fortune that ninety percent of the world's population could not achieve in a lifetime. Now they earned it in just a few hours.
Li Ling looked at the pile of chips. Although the chips were all made of ABS material, they all radiated a mesmerizing jewel-like luster.
While Li Ling and Gu Ziyun were talking, the security personnel behind Gu Ziyun leaned in and asked, "Are you two going to continue playing, or withdraw your winnings?"
Gu Ziyun was clearly still not satisfied, so Li Ling interrupted, "We're about to leave, so please help us cash out these chips."
Security personnel: "Okay, sir, would you like cash or a bank transfer?"
Carrying cash is inconvenient and troublesome at customs. Bank transfers will incur a small handling fee from the casino, but since they are carrying a large sum of money, the handling fee is not a concern. Therefore, Li Ling still had them withdraw the cash to their bank account.
Ultimately, after converting the 200 million chips into RMB and deducting transaction fees, Li Ling's bank account had a little over 200 million RMB.
Including what he had already exchanged, Li Ling now has nearly 300 million RMB in his account. Earning nearly 300 million RMB in just two or three hours is almost magical!
However, that's how reality is; reality is often even more absurd than that, since reality doesn't need logic.
After completing the withdrawal procedures, the casino manager came to them and said, "Hello sir, would you like to continue playing? If so, we can give you a VIP room upstairs and a membership here for one night."
If you are traveling to other places, please feel free to contact us. We also offer helicopter transfer services, which can fly directly from Macau to Zhuhai, or take you directly to the airport.
Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "We're not going to play anymore. We've already booked a room upstairs, and we're planning to stay there for the night."
The manager smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you back to your room now."
Li Ling: "Thank you for your help."
The manager smiled and said, "It's our pleasure to serve you. This way, please." With that, he led the way for Li Ling and his companion.
In the days that followed, Li Ling and Gu Ziyun spent two days in Macau, then went to Hong Kong Island for a week, and then flew to the Maldives for a whole month before returning to their hometown.
Li Ling thought to himself that now that they had mental powers, they would probably never have to worry about money again in their lives. If they wanted money, they could just go to Macau or Las Vegas to withdraw it. Casinos were like undefended vaults to him.
Back in Xidu, Li Ling resumed his previous life, reading books to accumulate knowledge for his future travels to different worlds. Now that his father's illness had been cured with the World Essence, his family no longer needed to worry about money, and Li Ling was very content with his life.
Gu Ziyun also watches dramas every day, and the two occasionally go on trips to the countryside and practice horseback riding and archery at the training ground to prepare for their future journey to the ancient world. They live a carefree life.
However, after a while, Li Ling began to miss the excitement of the mission world. Gu Ziyun was also getting bored in the real world. Perhaps the system heard his inner cry, because soon a new mission came up.
A hoarse, deep voice echoed in Li Ling's mind, "I hope my grandson, Yi Jifeng, will revitalize our Mingjian Manor..."
Famous Sword Manor? Yi Jifeng? Is this Yi Yun, the old master of Famous Sword Manor in "Young Zhang Sanfeng"?
Li Ling immediately realized who had made the wish to him; this was the first time he had ever received a wish from a character from the martial arts world.
A world of martial arts heroes, dashing warriors in fine clothes, ready to fight injustice! This mission looks set to be exceptionally thrilling!
"Young Zhang Sanfeng" was a TV series that Li Ling loved as a child. The series mainly tells the story of Zhang Junbao's emotional entanglements and chivalrous code with his stepmother Ming Daohong, Qin Sirong, Ling Xueyan, and others during his youth, and his legendary growth into the grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng.
Yi Yun and Yi Jifeng are important supporting characters, both of whom are tragic figures.
Yi Yun, the former master of Mingjian Manor, was a renowned senior figure in the martial arts world. However, the manor gradually declined under his leadership, and a scandalous affair within his family further tarnished Mingjian Manor's reputation in the martial arts world.
Yi Yun was the second most formidable rival of the carefree king in his early years, and together with the Holy Monk and the carefree king, they were known as the three greatest martial arts masters of decades ago.
One day, a man from the Western Regions named Xiaoyao Wang broke into the Central Plains martial arts world and indiscriminately killed martial artists. His martial arts were strange and unpredictable. Yi Yun, who was the master of Mingjian Villa at the time, felt it was his duty to fight him in order to uphold the righteous path of the martial arts world. However, due to exhaustion, he was defeated after a seven-hour battle. Both of them left with injuries, but Yi Yun was left with crippled legs and had to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Yi Yun's greatest wish is to restore the prestigious status of Mingjian Villa in the martial arts world and establish its century-old reputation. Unfortunately, he has two sons. His eldest son is honest and kind, while his second son, Yi Tianxing, is arrogant and conceited. He wanders around all day, obsessed with martial arts, and falls in love with his sister-in-law. This leads him to get drunk and cause a scene at his elder brother's wedding, injuring many people and leaving.
From then on, the second son, Yi Tianxing, went mad, and Mingjian Manor was thrust into the spotlight, its reputation ruined, causing a great uproar throughout the city.
Later, Mingjian Villa was regarded as a thorn in the side by Prime Minister Qin Hui. It was wiped out by the Four Demons of the Western Regions, led by Zhang Qiqiao. No one in the villa survived. Yi Yun was besieged by the two demons of the Western Regions and Qin Sirong. With his superb swordsmanship, he repelled the three of them.
Later, Zhang Qiqiao challenged Yi Yun to a duel to test his internal strength and defeated Yi Yun. Unable to bear the humiliation, Yi Yun committed suicide. However, something even more terrible happened. Zhang Qiqiao and his companions entered the sword tomb in the manor. Zhang Qiqiao ordered his men to take away the eight precious swords and used his internal strength to break the sword energy of the eight swords before releasing them into the Central Plains martial arts world.
The martial arts world turned on each other, causing bloodshed, all in their pursuit of these eight precious swords. This played right into the hands of the carefree king, whose aim was to weaken the power of various sects and factions in the Central Plains martial arts world.
Yi Yun was a renowned senior in the martial arts world. He made tireless efforts to re-establish the status of Mingjian Villa in the martial arts world, but he was still unable to fulfill his last wish.
In the TV series, Yi Yun was over 70 years old, with white hair, but he still couldn't live to a ripe old age. Instead, he ended up with the loss of the famous sword manor and the destruction of the manor, which is truly regrettable.
His grandson, Yi Jifeng, also made tireless efforts to revitalize Mingjian Manor, but ultimately died without fulfilling his grandfather's last wish.
Li Ling decided to accept the mission, partly out of respect for Yi Jifeng's sense of responsibility, and also because he wanted to experience life in the martial arts world. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate entity or event.)

Chapter 144 Yi Jifeng
Yi Jifeng, the young master of Mingjian Villa, is highly skilled in martial arts. Among the younger generation, apart from Zhang Junbao, no one can rival him.
Later, when the Famous Sword Manor was destroyed, he collected the four precious swords and practiced diligently, which led to a rapid improvement in his martial arts skills.
