Gao Jianfei has 12 days left to prepare. Everything is proceeding according to Gao Jianfei's plan, step by step, and he is having a great time.
In fact, Gao Jianfei was unaware that a few hours after he left the vault, Beckenbauer had entered the vault and explored it.
Actually, he didn't come to inspect the treasury intentionally. It was just that every month, Beckenbauer would enter the treasury to observe and enjoy the glow of the vast treasures; it had become a habit of his… he had to come every month! Just like a woman's menstrual cycle!
To be frank, Beckenbauer was there to enjoy himself, not to conduct a deliberate inspection. Therefore, he entered the vault, strolled around for several hours with a beaming smile, and then left satisfied. Before leaving, he even personally fed fish to the 20 polar bears. As the bears ate, they cursed inwardly, "Idiot! If Gao hadn't given us special orders, we would have torn you apart!"
Naturally, Beckenbauer also failed to notice that the treasure vault had been tampered with. After all, the treasures taken by Gao Jianfei comprised only a very, very, very small portion of the entire vault, making them extremely difficult to detect!
After Beckenbauer leaves, he will have to wait a full month before coming back.
As for Gao Jianfei, he slept until he naturally woke up. After getting up, he went to the Ghost Den, made a hot pot for dinner, and then went directly into the tunnel to check on Mario and Blank's work progress. After that, he went alone to Beckenbauer's treasure vault.
After entering the treasure vault undetected, Gao Jianfei began stealing the treasure in a frenzied, perverse, and even maddening manner. This was because Gao Jianfei had learned a secret from the 20 polar bears outside: a Beckenbauer-like routine… he only came here once a month, and he had already been here this month!
Therefore, Gao Jianfei didn't care at all! Since that guy wouldn't be here until next month anyway, Gao Jianfei amassed wealth without any restraint.
Pearls, agates, gold bars, diamonds—no matter what, just throw them all into the den of ghosts!
Even under the full surveillance of a Level 1 ghost, after confirming that no Vikings had gone to their lodging in the small temple of Luoyang and that no one would approach the treasure vault, Gao Jianfei spent the entire night stealing from this place!
He vowed to move the entire treasure trove to his own den of demons, leaving Beckenbauer with not a single hair!
He is such a vicious and wicked person!
The days that followed went by in a rather routine manner.
Gao Jianfei went back and gave Li Yun and Blank some instructions, telling them to just focus on digging the tunnel and not to worry about anything else.
Then, Gao Jianfei moved to the treasure vault.
They eat, drink, and sleep all in the haunted house; the rest of the time is spent moving treasures!
Driven by his ambition to devour the entire treasure trove, Gao Jianfei slept very little.
They only sleep for 3 hours a day, spend 1 hour eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, and the rest of the time is spent moving treasures!
These days, dark and chaotic, lasted for a full 10 days!
With only 2 days left in the 20-day buffer period, Gao Jianfei worked overtime to complete the move!
Yes, he moved all the treasures from Beckenbauer's vault to his own den of the dead!
All of them!
They moved every single diamond, pearl, and gold coin to their own ghost den!
There wasn't a single bit left for Beckenbauer!
"Haha! It's quite nice that it's so empty here." Gao Jianfei was exhausted.
However, looking at the vast and empty treasure trove, he was still satisfied and smiled with a great sense of accomplishment.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei went back and slept for a whole day to replenish his physical strength and energy.
Blank and Mario have also completed their tunnel digging work!
A main tunnel extends from the small hall where Gao Jianfei and his companions were staying all the way to the dock on the edge of the city!
"My esteemed master, we can reach the dock through the tunnel at any time, steal a boat, and escape!"
Blank and Mario, along with their men, had been working tirelessly for ten days and were quite exhausted.
"Alright, everyone, take a good rest today. It's not time for us to leave yet."
Gao Jianfei grinned mischievously, "We haven't had enough fun yet!"
Hey guys, it's my birthday today, hehe, I'm not asking for anything else, not even a red envelope...
Each account can receive one free blessing.
Uh... wish me luck! Haha!
Chapter 512 Beckenbauer Goes Mad
Chapter 512 Beckenbauer Goes Mad
With only one day left until the 20-day grace period expired, Gao Jianfei had already methodically completed a series of tasks he wanted to accomplish…
Beckenbauer's treasure has been completely stolen by Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei also acquired 20 polar bear pets.
The tunnel connecting the docks has also been successfully excavated.
It can be said that Gao Jianfei's purpose in coming to the Arctic to explore and delve into the Viking Empire has been partially achieved.
Of course, this may only be a small part. There are many more things waiting for Gao Jianfei to do; many more benefits waiting for him to taste.
Now, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points have accumulated to 11. He also threw away the plaster cast on his right arm, no longer pretending to have a fracture. His subordinates, including Blank and Mario, were also given a day off by Gao Jianfei to rest.
"Tomorrow, I'll have to face those incessantly chattering Vikings again." Gao Jianfei sat with his legs crossed, studying a city layout map of the Viking Empire. "This time, it'll be ten Viking warriors ganging up on me. Hehe, how interesting."
Just then, Prince Scholes made a surprise visit. After entering the palace where Gao Jianfei and his entourage were staying, he greeted Gao Jianfei politely. Then he said, "Respected warrior from afar, the injury on your arm should be alright, right?"
Gao Jianfei pretended to stretch his right arm and laughed, "No problem, absolutely no problem, haha! I have to praise the Vikings for their magnanimity and generosity, giving me time to recover... haha!"
Scholes gave a frustrated laugh, thinking, "If we can't even give you a chance to recover, then we Vikings are being incredibly stingy." He stated his purpose directly, "Hmm, a warrior from out of town, a full 20 days to recover is indeed quite ample. So, tomorrow's challenge..."
Gao Jianfei quickly replied, "Your Highness Scholes, please rest assured, I will definitely be there for tomorrow's challenge as promised! There will be absolutely no delays! I've said it before, I am also a person who craves battle!"
"That's good!" After explaining his purpose, Scholes didn't linger there. Without saying another word to Gao Jianfei, he stood up and took his leave.
Gao Jianfei rubbed his nose, watching Scholes' retreating figure, and chuckled, "Kid, when I have time, I'll go to your treasure room and sweep all your treasures clean! Then, I'll see if you're still as calm as you are now! Hahaha!"
After Scholes left, Gao Jianfei took out the map again and began to study it.
After looting Beckenbauer's treasure, Gao Jianfei began to consider when to target the treasures of the ten princes.
Although there weren't many treasures in the 10 princes' treasury, every little bit counts. Since Gao Jianfei had already started stealing, he had no intention of stopping!
According to the level 1 ghosts' detection, Gao Jianfei counted that those responsible for guarding the treasure rooms for the 10 princes were not Viking warriors, but polar bears... In total, there were 28 polar bears! They were guarding the treasure rooms of the Viking princes.
Gao Jianfei estimated that to possess 28 polar bears, he would need at least 19 exorcism points. Currently, Gao Jianfei only had 11 exorcism points.
There are still 8 exorcism points needed. Therefore, Gao Jianfei is not in a hurry and plans to wait until the exorcism points are restored before taking all the treasures of the 10 princes at once!
That night, Gao Jianfei went to bed early.
Early the next morning, Scholes indeed drove his bear-drawn carriage to personally pick up Gao Jianfei.
After 20 days of silence, and with a very good night's sleep last night, Gao Jianfei, along with Li Yun and the others, boarded the bear-drawn carriage in high spirits and headed straight for the 10-person arena of the Viking Kingdom.
The arena was still packed to capacity.
The audience arrived early to witness the resurgence of the duel after a 20-day hiatus.
The Vikings were shocked and terrified by Gao Jianfei's display of fighting prowess. Dozens of strong Viking warriors died on the arena, succumbing to Gao Jianfei's fists. Subconsciously, the Vikings held a certain reverence for the valiant Gao Jianfei. However, they couldn't truly worship and submit to this outsider. Deep down, they were stubborn, or perhaps even servile… admiring Gao Jianfei's strength on one hand, and yearning for their own people to defeat him on the other.
As the audience knows, today's match will be a siege of Gao Jianfei by 10 Viking warriors.
This is the number of participants allowed in the duel rules announced by Gao Jianfei.
In the previous match, Gao Jianfei struggled against nine Viking warriors, barely escaping defeat several times (of course, this was Gao Jianfei's own acting). This time, the Vikings have gained another warrior. Will they be able to defeat Gao Jianfei easily?
This is a question that lingers in the minds of all Vikings.
So much so that when Gao Jianfei entered the venue, the scene was very quiet, and every audience member's eyes were focused on Gao Jianfei's face and body.
Beckenbauer also stared at Gao Jianfei. Before him stood ten heavily armed warriors, armed to the teeth. They looked like ten humanoid polar bears!
Beckenbauer was also conflicted... 10 people was a limit. Gao Jianfei had clearly stated that he would only accept challenges from 10 Viking warriors in a single match.
Now, the battle has reached a critical point... If the 10 men cannot defeat Gao Jianfei, then the Vikings will have no choice but to use their pets!
How shameful that would be!
Originally, some citizens within the Viking Empire were already secretly discussing this duel. The Vikings, always outnumbered, consistently lost... The dignity of the Vikings, Beckenbauer's reputation, and even the glorious traditions of the Viking Kingdom were all being eroded.
Once pets are used to join forces with warriors in an attack, even if victory is achieved, it will become a laughing stock for a long time!
“Uh… Your Majesty, we… we can actually bring our pets…” a Viking heavy armored warrior about to go into battle stammered. “In fact, pets have always been a great asset to us Vikings… Besides, when those outsiders made the dueling rules, they never said that we couldn’t bring our pets into battle…”
This guy is already getting a little nervous!
"Hmm?" Beckenbauer's eyebrows furrowed. "Bringing pets? You're not embarrassed enough already!" Beckenbauer glanced around the audience. He saw the competitive faces of his people, and the slightly ashamed look in their eyes behind their thirst for a fierce battle... He knew that if he deployed pets to assist in the battle, he, as the king, would lose face!
"Fight! The battle ahead is a do-or-die situation! We can only win, we cannot lose!" Beckenbauer roared. "His right arm was broken recently and has only just healed. If you can't defeat him under these circumstances, then... you're all useless! Go forth! Go forth and fight!"
"Huh? That's right! This guy's arm's been broken, his fighting ability must be greatly affected. What are we afraid of? Let's fight!" The ten Viking warriors thought to themselves with a sense of relief. Then they all stepped into the arena!
Gao Jianfei also took a deep breath and entered the arena.
In the arena, Gao Jianfei stood in front of 10 Viking warriors lined up in a row, as if standing under a high wall. The difference in strength seemed to be directly reflected through the strong visual contrast!
Therefore, both the audience and Beckenbauer rekindled their hope and confidence!
"Tear him apart! Tear him apart! Tear him apart!" the ten spectators shouted in unison! They screamed with all their might, their blood began to burn!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Ten heavily armed soldiers began to rhythmically stomp their feet on the ground, producing a terrifying sound like the beating of war drums.
It's like heavy cavalry is about to launch their first charge!
Ten heavily armored warriors simultaneously gripped their shoulder-mounted hammers, battle axes, and other weapons, brandishing them with practiced ease. For this battle, they had chosen heavy weapons over a meter in length. In previous fights, the Viking warriors who had perished had used short weapons, which they had hurled at Gao Jianfei, allowing him to easily dodge them. Therefore, this time, the Viking warriors had learned from their mistakes, employing longer weapons that they wouldn't easily let go of—the principle of "an inch longer, an inch stronger" applied here. They also carried varying numbers of short axes at their waists, intended for throwing. It was clear that these ten Viking warriors were fully prepared, determined to defeat Gao Jianfei!
Gao Jianfei, too, must now brace himself for battle.
To be fair, defeating these 10 opponents wouldn't be too difficult if he didn't conceal his true strength. However, Gao Jianfei couldn't use his One-Finger Divine Skill's remote acupoint striking technique, nor could he openly unleash his full internal energy to bombard his opponents with the Seven Injury Fist. He had to resort to clumsy and disheveled methods to effectively buy time and maintain Beckenbauer and his group's pitiful confidence. Therefore, even facing 10 heavily armed warriors, Gao Jianfei was finding it somewhat difficult!
Before Gao Jianfei could think further, ten heavily armed warriors had already spread out, forming a fan shape, and slowly surrounded him! They wielded weapons that were up to 1 meter long with their right hands, while their left hands were on the weapons at their waists, ready to throw them at any moment.
Gao Jianfei's feet also began to step in strange directions, and the internal energy in his dantian fluctuated, with terrifying power flowing through every corner of his body!
Battle is imminent!
"roar!"
Finally, the ten Viking warriors roared simultaneously, stomping their right feet on the ground, their bodies like giant mountains crashing towards Gao Jianfei! Before they even arrived, the sharpness of their long, heavy hammers was already raining down on Gao Jianfei!
At the same time, six of the quickest Viking warriors threw short axes with their left hands, aiming for vital parts of Gao Jianfei's body!
In this first wave of attack, the 10 Viking warriors performed almost perfectly...encircling, attacking from a distance, attacking at close range!
Helpless, Gao Jianfei used his light footwork to dodge most of the attacks by stepping on several different sides. However, two Viking warriors swung their long hammers from the left and right, blocking Gao Jianfei's path to dodge!
Just then, Gao Jianfei suddenly rose more than 2 meters into the air, narrowly dodging the attacks from the left and right. Then, he did a backflip and jumped more than 3 meters away!
