If we were to use a computer as an analogy, Gao Jianfei's processor is at least quad-core, hexa-core, or even octa-core. Meanwhile, the other users of the Ghost Instrument only have single-core processors!
Therefore, Shangguan Longfei immediately believed the AI program's words... Damn it, I didn't expect the original data to be wrong! There's another hidden exorcist!
In an instant, a plan suddenly took shape in Shangguan Longfei's mind...
"Well, our Dragon Ball, with 45 exorcists, has divided up all the territory, standing shoulder to shoulder with the government. The size of the territory divided depends on individual power. I'm just a level 4 exorcist, while my elder brother is a level 6! Therefore, our Shangguan Gang got the capital city. However, in recent years, my elder brother has been engrossed in Buddhist studies, essentially retiring from worldly affairs. The other exorcists, either higher level than me, have formed alliances, leaving me alone, isolated! I've heard rumors that those exorcists even want to give up some of my territory! How can that be? The territory my brother and I have painstakingly built up over the years—are we just going to hand it over? My elder brother doesn't seem very enthusiastic about such things, which only fuels the ambitions of those despicable exorcists!"
Now, this kid has suddenly appeared on my turf. He's an extremely low-profile person on Dragon Planet; I've never heard of him in any reports or magazines! He's practically a country bumpkin! If I could use my worldly power to win him over, he could become my ally! I could even incite him to kill other exorcists, creating chaos, so I could fish in troubled waters and profit from the chaos!”
Shangguan Longfei quickly made a decision. His gloomy expression began to bloom. "Aha! We've become friends through a fight! Brother, I see you're quite skilled, you must be at least a Level 5 Exorcist, right? Good brother! Since you're on my turf, I should show you some hospitality! Brother, come back to headquarters with me, let's enjoy the good things in life, isn't that much better than fighting and killing here? Don't worry, brother, I'll arrange everything perfectly, delicious food, fine wine, beautiful women, young girls... everything you could want!"
"Heh, actually, I only got into a fight at the night market because I saw injustice. I have absolutely no conflict with Brother Shangguan! Since Brother Shangguan has extended such a warm invitation, I will gladly accept. Please!" Gao Jianfei's expression changed swiftly, and he put on a friendly smile as he spoke politely.
The two, who harbored ulterior motives, quickly became close friends and started calling each other brothers.
Gao Jianfei got into Shangguan Longfei's car. Inside were two stunningly beautiful women. Shangguan Longfei gestured for the driver to start the car and said to Gao Jianfei, "Brother, these two girls are pretty good. Why don't you try their oral sex skills first?"
"No need," Gao Jianfei waved his hand.
Shangguan Longfei chuckled knowingly. "Oh! That's right! Since you're an exorcist, brother, you must be enjoying the company of beautiful women in the ghost den! The virtual female ghosts there are mostly far more beautiful than the women in our real world." Shangguan Longfei seemed to be deliberately trying to befriend Gao Jianfei, taking the initiative to start a conversation. "Brother, to be honest, I also have some favorites in my ghost den."
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei was filled with curiosity. "Who are they?"
"It's nothing much, just fictional characters like Wesley's wife Bai Su, Princess Xiangxiang from the novel The Book and the Sword, Li Yu from the novel Chu Liuxiang, and Hu Sanniang, a historical figure from Earth..." Shangguan Longfei rattled off a whole bunch of female characters' names from the novels.
Gao Jianfei was secretly astonished, thinking that this guy was a shameless person without any moral principles, having manipulated so many virtual characters. However, remembering that he and Mu Wanqing had also had such a relationship, Gao Jianfei blushed and stopped thinking about it.
Chapter 604 Testing Strength
Gao Jianfei had clashed with Shanggu Longfei, the leader of the largest underground power in the capital of Tianyi Kingdom. Surprisingly, Shanggu Longfei harbored a desire to recruit and utilize Gao Jianfei. He believed Gao Jianfei was a overlooked exorcist, the 46th exorcist, who could play a crucial role in the power struggles among the various exorcists on Tianyi Kingdom.
The role of ing. Therefore, despite being internally injured by Gao Jianfei, Shanggu Longfei's expression changed, and he began to treat Gao Jianfei with great ingratiation. In the car, Shanggu Longfei's face was as pale as it should be after being injured. But he still excitedly told Gao Jianfei how he played with those virtual female ghosts. Gao Jianfei frowned deeply as he listened. The convoy drove through the city. Gao Jianfei couldn't help but observe the night scene of the capital of Tianyi through the car window... Men and women lingered on the streets, gathered but not dispersed, arm in arm; under the flashing neon lights, there were clean shops and some very elegant luxury stores; bustling nightclubs; white-collar workers drinking late at night... In short, everything here exuded a sense of extravagance and decadence. Peace and tranquility! Like Earth before the arrival of Beast King Star, this is a beautiful and rich planet. Well... although, his community is relatively chaotic.
However, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but think... no matter how chaotic this place is, it's still better than aliens descending and causing chaos, right? Actually, he envied the residents of Dragon Ball.
Seeing Gao Jianfei's involuntary expression of longing and intoxication, his sighs and obvious envious glances, Shanggu Longfei, in his self-righteousness, assumed Gao Jianfei was a country bumpkin visiting the capital for the first time. In truth, it wasn't that Shanggu Longfei was stupid or lacked observation skills. After all, he had a preconceived notion. As a user of the Super Ghost Instrument, Gao Jianfei should have been a powerful and influential figure in the Dragon Ball world, but he was far too low-key. Despite his extensive network and information channels, Shanggu Longfei had never met Gao Jianfei before and assumed he was just a country bumpkin diligently leveling up.
"Hmph! Controlling and utilizing this country bumpkin is a piece of cake!" Shanggu Longfei thought smugly. He smiled and asked Gao Jianfei, "Brother, what's your name?"
"Gao Jianfei." Gao Jianfei didn't try to hide anything. On Earth, his name was a household name, but Long Qiu, his name was like a vegetable vendor in a market—it didn't matter, and no one could find anything out about it.
"Oh, Brother Gao." Shanggu Longfei chewed slightly, observing Gao Jianfei's expression as he spoke, concluding that Gao Jianfei wasn't lying. This skill of reading people was taught to him by a Level 2 Ghost he had trained. After a pause, Shanggu Longfei continued, "By the way, Brother Gao, you're from Tianyi Kingdom, right?"
"Well... yes, I am from Tianyi Country," Gao Jianfei had no choice but to say. Because, on Dragon Ball, Tianyi Country was the only country he knew.
Upon hearing Gao Jianfei's words, Shanggu Longfei was certain of his suspicions about Gao Jianfei's identity. He said casually, "Brother, is this your first time in the capital?"
"Yes, this is my first time here," Gao Jianfei exclaimed sincerely. "It's really beautiful and full of love here. It's a great blessing to be able to live here." These words were sincere, mainly because he missed his home planet Earth and the peaceful and beautiful times it once had.
"Hahaha!" Shanggu Longfei burst into laughter upon hearing Gao Jianfei's remark. "Brother Gao, let me tell you, the capital is the political and cultural center of Tianyi Country, as well as its financial center. From now on, you'll live in the capital! Don't worry, now that we're brothers, as long as I have food to eat, I'll make sure you don't go hungry! Later, let's go to headquarters first, and I'll let you enjoy some of life's pleasures! Hahahaha!" As he spoke, he reached out and put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder. He was completely confident that he had Gao Jianfei under his thumb.
Gao Jianfei smiled nonchalantly, a playful expression in his eyes.
At that moment, the AI program's voice spoke in Gao Jianfei's ear, "My dear, didn't I tell you? I can now post tasks for you. Just now, I compiled a task, a task with a high experience value."
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei's consciousness communicated with the intelligent program. "Tell me, what tasks have you assigned me?"
"Hehe, my darling, this is a task worth 500 million experience points!" the AI program said to Gao Jianfei in a flirtatious tone. "My darling, aren't I capable? I've come up with such a high-experience task for you! Hehe, how should you reward me? How about, like you do to your woman, you lick me, you devour me, okay?" The AI program's voice was seductive and sweet, like a young woman flirting with her lover.
Gao Jianfei thought of the AI program's alluring figure and youthful, seductive face, and a feeling of restlessness welled up inside him. However, he quickly suppressed this feeling. "Alright, stop fooling around. Tell me about the task you gave me. A task worth 500 million experience points—to be honest, I'm extremely interested. You know, I need a billion experience points to level up right now, which is an incredibly expensive amount. Even aliens on Earth couldn't accumulate that many experience points in a short time. Therefore, hearing you mention this task has piqued my interest. Tell me about it."
"My dear, actually, this task is to find orange ore on the Dragon Planet," the AI program said sweetly. "If you successfully find orange ore on the Dragon Planet, then you will complete the task and gain 500 million experience points! My dear, see how good I am to you? Even if you didn't accept this task, you still need to find orange ore; it's urgent. Now, I've compiled this task for you, so you can earn a huge amount of experience points while searching for orange ore—a win-win situation!"
"Hmm! It seems that spending so much orange ore to modify you, to upgrade this Super Ghost Device, was worth it! Just look at the mission system, I've made a huge profit!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed with joy. "Alright! Accept this mission right away!"
This is the modified Super Ghost Device, and its fundamental difference from the ordinary Super Ghost Device!
If Gao Jianfei's Super Ghost Instrument hadn't been modified, he could only accept low-experience-value missions as a ghost. Besides, on Earth, no ghost is qualified to issue missions worth 500 million experience points! Similarly, on Dragon Planet, probably none of the 45 exorcists are qualified to accept missions worth hundreds of millions!
On Dragon Planet, there are two Level 7 Exorcists, whose levels are higher than Gao Jianfei's, which is good. However, their potential is definitely not as good as Gao Jianfei's! Or rather, they can no longer level up! Unless, like Gao Jianfei, they can perform interstellar teleportation and leave Dragon Planet to accept interstellar missions! But that is obviously impossible.
After receiving this mission, Gao Jianfei was determined to find the orange ore as soon as possible!
"I must leverage the connections and influence of the Shanggu Gang Longqiu to circle the Dragon Ball in a very short time and locate the orange ore," Gao Jianfei thought to himself.
At this moment, the car drove up to a large complex of magnificent villas.
Dozens of well-trained bodyguards in black stood guard at the villa's gate. Gao Jianfei glanced at them and noticed their extraordinary bearing and demeanor; their every move clearly indicated martial arts training. Gao Jianfei thought to himself, "This Shanggu Gang leader is a Level 4 Exorcist who has taught his subordinates some rudimentary martial arts and gathered thousands of followers. He certainly has the resources to control the capital. The capital's government should also take a backseat to someone like Shanggu Long Fei. His power can only be described as overwhelming."
At this moment, a henchman came over and opened the car door. Gao Jianfei and Shanggu Longfei got out of the car together, smiling broadly.
"We're here! Brother Gao, this is the headquarters of my Shanggu Gang! Come in, please! You're my honored guest today, so don't be shy or reserved. I'll arrange some very entertaining activities for you later, until you're satisfied!" Shanggu Long Fei winked at Gao Jianfei, giving him a playful smile. Gao Jianfei knew that this guy would definitely use every means at his disposal to win him over. Gao Jianfei was happy to watch the show, and pretended to be a grateful, flattered country bumpkin.
Perhaps it was out of a desire to show off. Shanggu Longfei led Gao Jianfei on foot into the villa area.
"Brother Gao, feel free to take a look. My headquarters is fairly well-built. It cost billions of Tianyi coins to complete," Shanggu Longfei said casually to Gao Jianfei.
Tianyi Coin is the currency of Tianyi Guo IU Tong.
"Hmm, how luxurious!" Gao Jianfei nodded and praised.
As Gao Jianfei walked, he observed everything. This headquarters covered an area of over a thousand acres, guarded everywhere, with streetlights and dozens of magnificent buildings. There was even a skyscraper tens of meters high. The landscaping was excellent, and the parking lot was filled with a large number of luxury cars. The villa area even had a dedicated indoor bowling alley, a billiards room, a football field, a basketball court, and even a shooting range! A shooting range for live-fire exercises. At least on Earth, governments generally don't allow this kind of live-fire shooting practice, unless you have extremely strong connections.
Dragon Ball is indeed in a state of utter chaos! The Shanggu Gang's actions fall into the category of privately forming a private armed force.
Finally, after circling around for a long time, Shanggu Longfei led Gao Jianfei into a luxurious building at the headquarters. This building was extremely expensive; the sofa was said to be made of very precious panda skin from the Dragon Ball.
After both parties were seated, Shanggu Longfei gave some instructions to one of his henchmen. A short while later, a dozen exceptionally tall and beautiful young women entered the hall like butterflies. At Shanggu Longfei's behest, they sat next to Gao Jianfei, attentively pouring him wine and feeding him fruit from a fruit platter.
This allowed Gao Jianfei to enjoy the tender and lingering taste.
"Well, Brother Gao, these are all women I carefully selected from Longqiu. They're all under 18, with top-notch figures and looks, and absolutely clean. I've come to a planet called 'Earth,' and a country called 'Island Country.' That country... well, it produces something called 'actresses.' They're absolute beauties, their skills in bed are truly superb. I've pieced together some deceased actresses. There's one named 'Goto Ran,' and another named 'Fan Dao Ai,' and I got their training methods. I'm using these methods to train the girls I've chosen. You could say these girls are clean and skilled. I haven't touched this batch yet. Brother Gao, you play with them first, I'll go find my older brother to talk to you. Don't hold back, play with them however you want."
After saying this, Shanggu Longfei stood up and walked directly towards the study. Before leaving, he said to the women, "You all better take good care of Brother Gao. If he's dissatisfied, I'll have you all punished!"
"Yes, yes, boss," the group of women said, trembling with fear.
After Shanggu Longfei left, the group of women immediately began feeding Gao Jianfei wine and fruit through methods such as mouth-to-mouth contact. Gao Jianfei, somewhat worried that Shanggu Longfei might have tampered with the drinks, simply played along and engaged in some lighthearted banter with the women. Of course, it was just groping and flirting; nothing more was actually done.
Furthermore, after bidding farewell to Gao Jianfei, Shanggu Longfei went upstairs to his study. That study had been converted into a Buddhist temple by Shanggu Longfei's elder brother, Shanggu Chuxiong.
In Shangguan Chuxiong, people are devoted to Buddhism, where they worship Buddha with green lamps.
"Big Brother." Shanggu Longfei entered the Buddhist hall and greeted him respectfully. His elder brother, Shanggu Chuxiong, was a level 6 ghost with formidable strength. Therefore, in front of Shanggu Chuxiong, Shanggu Longfei was like a sick cat.
"Hmm?" Shanggu Chuxiong glanced around and immediately noticed that Shanggu Longfei was suffering from internal injuries. He asked directly, "Xiaofei, what happened to you?"
The question was asked with extreme concern, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes!
It should be noted that although Shanggu Chuxiong claimed to have converted to Buddhism in recent years, he had ultimately been involved in underground forces and still possessed a strong sense of ruthlessness. Now, his only lover, his own brother, had been injured, and his calm heart was stirred up by a surge of anger.
"Brother, it's nothing, just some minor injuries. I'll go to the Ghost Den later to exchange for some Shaolin or Wudang healing medicine, and I'll be fine. By the way, brother, I've discovered a shocking secret!" Shanggu Longfei said mysteriously.
Shanggu Chuxiong frowned and said directly, "Xiao Fei, just say what you want to say!"
"Brother, I've found the 46th exorcist!" Shanggu Longfei's eyes gleamed. "It's said that when Master Zhuoyue deployed the Super Ghost Device to our Dragon Planet, the system data malfunctioned. Our Dragon Planet has far more than 45 Super Ghost Device users! I've discovered at least the 46th exorcist! And this guy's a country bumpkin, always lying low, diligently leveling up. Now, he's probably reached level 6. Now he wants to make a name for himself!"
"What?" Shanggu Chuxiong's face changed.
"The 46th exorcist? And he's already reached level 6? This...this is unbelievable!"
"Brother, don't doubt it. I've already fought him, and he's indeed extremely powerful, no less so than you! He's also learned the Seven Injury Fist, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and the One-Finger Divine Skill; his power is several times, even ten times, greater than mine. He's definitely a high-level exorcist!" Shanggu Longfei said with absolute certainty.
"His Seven Injury Fist and Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are ten times better than yours?" Shanggu Chuxiong's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression. "Could it be that Hong Qigong and Xie Xun learned these two martial arts?"
"Brother, listen to me," Shanggu Longfei said earnestly. "Brother, the reason you claim to have converted to Buddhism and chant scriptures every day is because I know what you're thinking. You used to be a powerful figure, with ambitions reaching the heavens! You were determined to make a name for yourself in Longqiu, but those two level 7 exorcists are actually stronger than you... stronger than you. Besides you, there are seven other level 6 exorcists, whose strength is comparable to yours! You truly have the will but not the power. Therefore, you became dejected and indifferent to worldly affairs. In fact, the essence within you is still that of a powerful figure! Now, the opportunity has arrived! Our opportunity has arrived!"
Shanggu Chuxiong's expression shifted between light and shadow, his eyes gradually revealing a sharp, piercing light. "Xiao Fei, what do you mean?"
"Brother, you know these tricks better than I do. We just discovered this 46th exorcist; the others don't know about him. We can easily treat him as a miracle worker."
Use it! Just think about it, with this amazing...
"We can easily steal from those exorcists who are higher level than you. Then, this Dragon Ball will be the domain of the two of us brothers!" Shanggu Longfei said in a very seductive tone.
"This..." Shanggu Chuxiong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up. "This matter is extremely important. I must personally test that guy's strength! If his strength isn't as great as you say, then our grand plan can proceed..."
"Ah! If he's really that strong, then proceed according to your plan!"
"Good! Hahaha! Big brother, your ambition has come back to life!" Shanggu Longfei laughed loudly. "Let's go, big brother, that guy is playing around with the women right now, let's go find him!"
The two brothers went straight downstairs and into the lobby.
"Hahaha! Brother Gao, come, let me introduce you. This is my elder brother, Shanggu Chuxiong!" Shanggu Longfei laughed heartily and greeted Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei looked up and saw a monk walking towards him. The monk's temples were high and bulging, his face was calm, and his eyes were deep. He was clearly a peerless master who cultivated both inner and outer strength!
His presence also made Gao Jianfei feel a sense of tension!
"Hello!" Shanggu Chuxiong said indifferently to Gao Jianfei, extending his hand to shake hands with him. (To be continued)
Chapter 605 A formidable opponent
Shangguan Chuxiong then extended his hand to shake Gao Jianfei's. His gaze was rather indifferent, revealing neither friendliness nor hostility, carrying a rather unfathomable air. Gao Jianfei, however, was no naive child. He knew that this bald-headed monk (Gao Jianfei himself wondered, was there Buddhism on this Dragon Ball? And monks? With his robes and the scar on his head, he truly looked like a monk) was clearly an exorcist, possessing formidable martial arts skills. His handshake was simply a test of Gao Jianfei's strength, a test déjà vu, much like a martial arts character from a fictional novel. Of course, Gao Jianfei was not afraid.
He extended his hand and shook hands with Shangguan Chuxiong. Instantly, both of them clashed with their inner strength, outwardly remaining calm, but their inner strength surged and gathered in their hands!
Shangguan Longfei was clearly an expert, and he was extremely anxious. On one hand, he was worried that the unexpected helper he had brought would be crippled by his elder brother, and on the other hand, he was worried that his elder brother would lose to the opponent and lose face.
However, when Gao Jianfei and Shangguan Chuxiong competed in internal strength, they were evenly matched! In other words, their internal strength was roughly equal!
Finally, both withdrew their hands simultaneously. Shangguan Chuxiong finally revealed a smile. "Haha! It seems you're a Level 6 Exorcist, just like me! You probably haven't yet selected and pieced together a martial arts ghost from among the Level 6 ghosts to learn martial arts, have you? Like me, I'm also waiting for my Exorcism Points to recover to their peak so I can directly create a Level 6 ghost with strong martial arts. Since your internal strength is about the same as mine, let's have another martial arts match! Hahaha! It's been a long time since I've sparred with a master of similar skill! I'm itching to test my skills!"
In fact, just as Shangguan Longfei said, the main reason why Shangguan Chuxiong was willing to retire and devote himself to Buddhism was because he was disheartened.
...Years ago, Shangguan Chuxiong was full of ambition, eager to expand his territory and, together with his brother, establish the Shangguan Gang's enduring legacy. At that time, his ambition was immense; he believed that heaven had truly favored the two brothers! After all, in the case of two brothers simultaneously obtaining the Super Ghost Instrument Software, only the Shangguan brothers on Dragon Ball were worthy of such a divinely bestowed opportunity! This was an opportunity they should seize to achieve an immortal legacy! However, during a territorial struggle, he was defeated by another Level 6 Exorcist. And that Level 6 Exorcist's backer was a Level 7 Exorcist! Shangguan Chuxiong was nearly killed! If it weren't for the intervention of another Level 7 Exorcist, he would likely have been blasted to smithereens on the spot! This led him to utter despair, believing that the Shangguan Gang on Dragon Ball was truly doomed, and he sought solace in Buddhism. Now, the appearance of Gao Jianfei reignited Shangguan Chuxiong's ambition!
Every cell in Shangguan Chuxiong's body was filled with eager anticipation and restless energy; his eyes blazed with fighting spirit!
"Brother Gao, right? I'm Xiaofei's older brother, Shangguan Chuxiong. Do you dare to fight me? Let me see your real combat skills with my own eyes! It's been a long time since I've had a proper fight!" Shangguan Chuxiong shouted at Gao Jianfei in an extremely provocative manner.
Before Gao Jianfei could answer, the intelligent program's voice intimately echoed in his mind... "Darling, I've prepared another task for you! This task is just like..."
"...Accept the challenge from this exorcist before you. If you can defeat him, you will gain 100 million experience points!"
"Huh? Such a high experience value?" Gao Jianfei was surprised.
The AI program replied matter-of-factly, “Yes, dear, your opponent is at the same level as you. If you can defeat him, you’ll get 100 million experience points! Of course, you can also refuse his challenge and ignore this task I’ve prepared for you.”
After the Super Ghost Device was modified, it became very convenient to complete tasks. The intelligent program would release various tasks according to the circumstances, and tasks could be released at any time.
"Damn it, a whole 100 million experience points! I'd be a fool not to do it!" Gao Jianfei shouted.
"Alright! I'll take this mission! I'll accept this guy's challenge!"
After accepting the task, Gao Jianfei said loudly, "Very well! I'd also like to experience your skills firsthand!"
After saying that, Shangguan Longfei led the two of them directly to an open-air garden behind the villa.
