In fact, the Gao family was unaware of the major incident Gao Jianfei caused in the United States after leaving Germany. The German authorities essentially placed the four members of the Gao family under house arrest in their villa, with daily necessities delivered by a personal courier. Their cell phones, computers, and televisions were all controlled. There was no internet, no television signal; in short, all normal contact with the outside world was cut off. Gao's father and Chen Xian realized that Gao Jianfei might be in trouble. However, they had no way of finding out the answer. Therefore, they could only wait. Of course, they always believed that Gao Jianfei would be alright. For the past six months, they prayed for him every day.
That day, as usual, the Gao family of four finished their prayers and began preparing lunch.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt, don't worry, Jianfei will be fine. Think about it, if something really happened to Jianfei, how could we in Germany be living so easily? Although we can't travel and all our communication devices have been confiscated, the food that the Germans send us every day is nutritionally balanced, and we also have doctors give us check-ups every month. They've been quite good to us..." Chen Xian, dressed simply and without makeup, still couldn't hide her striking beauty.
She truly dedicated herself entirely to Gao Jianfei, giving selflessly and quietly without expecting anything in return.
"Sigh. I hope my son will be alright." Mr. Gao sat in his wheelchair, his gaze serene.
Suddenly! The door opened, and someone walked straight in!
His gaze fixed directly on the faces of everyone in the room.
The people inside the room also looked at this "uninvited guest" at the same time.
And so, everyone's gaze froze in that instant. Everyone's thoughts froze in that instant!
Stunned! Completely dumbfounded!
Then, the person who barged in called out, looking bewildered, "Dad, Mom, Aunt, Xiaoxian. I...I'm back..."
"Wow!"
Mom and Aunt, two typical simple women, suddenly burst into tears! Gao Jin's hand holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were already wet! Chen Xian wiped the potato peels off her hands, then rushed directly towards Gao Jianfei! Two lines of clear tears streamed down her face.
Gao Jianfei held Chen Xian tightly, so tightly that they seemed to be suffocating!
a long time……
"Jianfei, you're back?" Chen Xian asked naively.
"Hmm." A thousand words, a myriad of thoughts, rushed to his mind, but for a moment, Gao Jianfei didn't know what to say. He couldn't utter a single word; his throat felt as if it were blocked.
"You're not leaving this time?" Unconsciously, Chen Xian began to shed tears.
"Hmm." Gao Jianfei took Chen Xian's hands and looked at them, noticing that her palms had developed some calluses. And on her unmade-up face, if you looked closely, you could see several very shallow wrinkles.
Gao Jianfei hugged Chen Xian tightly again. "Xiao Xian, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xian hugged Gao Jianfei tightly, her arms around him. She murmured, "Jianfei, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Finally, after being separated for almost a year, the family was reunited!
This reunion is unlike any other before.
In the past, Gao Jianfei always had all sorts of enemies... Chen Yifeng, the Qingcheng Sect, Feng Haoyu, the Holy Land, and later the American "government"...
He always hides and avoids.
Now, all the troubles have been dealt with!
Feeling so relaxed!
Gao Jianfei then took his family and left the villa, accompanied by the German president and Klose, and returned to downtown Frankfurt, where they found an apartment and settled down.
The family made dumplings together. Gao Jianfei and Chen Xian held hands and went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for making Sichuan cuisine, which they brought home to cook themselves.
Without a doubt, Chen Xian believes that she is the happiest woman in the world today.
During dinner, the family also opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) to drink.
"Son, what have you been busy with this past year?" Gao Jin asked, taking a sip of baijiu. "If I'm not mistaken, you must have offended some international forces. How are things now? Have you taken care of it all?"
As soon as the question was asked, Gao Jianfei's family looked at him with concern.
Gao Jianfei laughed. "Dad, Mom, Aunt, Xiaoxian, I won't go into details about what happened this year; it was as dramatic and unpredictable as a movie. But none of that matters. What matters is that everything has been taken care of! From now on, I can finally relax! I can stay by your side forever and live a happy and fulfilling life with you!"
That's right. Now, enjoying the warmth of family, Gao Jianfei doesn't care if he doesn't level up or learn any skills, or what form the Ghost Instrument takes. As long as no evil forces provoke him and he has no enemies, he's willing to be an ordinary... uh, rich man.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei personally put a perfect diamond ring, which he had previously selected from the Ghost Den and the Viking Treasures, on Chen Xian's finger. Then, he made four orange stones, each the size of a ping-pong ball, into necklace pendants, like amulets, and gave one to each member of his family.
The beautiful orange ore, radiating a strange, luminous energy, nourished the wearer. Even though Chen Xian and her family weren't superhumans or martial arts masters, wearing the orange ore necklace made their mental state exceptionally good. Their moods also became increasingly relaxed and cheerful.
His mother and aunt kept saying that the orange ore was a treasure sent down by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which made Gao Jianfei both laugh and cry.
In the days that followed, Gao Jianfei told Song Ying and the others that he would take good care of himself. He devoted himself entirely to spending time with his family.
They enjoyed a pleasant round-the-world trip throughout Europe.
Occasionally, Gao Jianfei would call the base to inquire about the progress of various research projects. Later, Gao Jianfei delegated the responsibility of managing various research tasks at the base to Zhuo Xiaowei and Song Ying.
Zhuo Xiaowei, Song Ying, Li Yun, and other women simply flew directly to the United States and moved into the base.
One day, the voice of the intelligent program rang in Gao Jianfei's ears. "Dear user, your exorcism points have been restored to 100. Now, you have a top-tier level 5 ghost. Would you like to try the skill transfer offered by the top-tier level 5 ghost?"
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei chuckled. "I've been so busy spending time with my family and wife lately that I forgot about the exorcism points. They've been restored to 100. Should I get a level 5 ghost with strong martial arts skills?"
Gao Jianfei received the notification from the intelligent program at 2 or 3 a.m.
Beside the pillow, Chen Xian was still fast asleep. Tonight, she and Gao Jianfei had made love three times, and she was already too tired to continue sleeping soundly.
"Anyway, I'm just idling around!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself and went straight into the Ghost Den.
In the den of ghosts.
"Dear user, welcome to your Ghost Den." The AI program's voice remained as loyal and attentive as ever. "Heh, dear user, it's been a long time since you've been to the Ghost Den. It seems you've become indifferent to everything."
"Hehe, I'm enjoying the happiness of family life." Gao Jianfei smiled indifferently. "Besides, I no longer have any enemies or troubles. You haven't given me any level 7 missions in Europe. Sigh, I'm happy to live a peaceful life."
Gao Jianfei glanced at the progress of the Super Ghost Instrument modification and found that the modification was only 29% complete, which was very slow.
"Uh...family? Oh! I understand, my esteemed user." The intelligent program smiled sweetly. "So, esteemed user, would you like to use 100 exorcism points to summon a level 5 ghost at the peak?"
"Heh, actually, with my current strength, I basically don't need any ghosts anymore. I'm already at the pinnacle of Earth. But, since I've already collected 100 exorcism points, I'll just use any good level 5 ghost." Gao Jianfei said with a nonchalant smile.
"So, esteemed user, what type of Level 5 ghost do you require?"
“Of course, I need a level 5 ghost with strong martial arts skills.” Gao Jianfei laughed. “Even if I don’t have any special requirements, I still have a special fondness for ghosts who are skilled in martial arts. Listen, my requirement couldn’t be simpler… a level 5 ghost with strong martial arts skills worth 100 exorcism points! You can randomly draw one for me.”
After a pause, Gao Jianfei laughed. "There must be many ghosts worth 100 exorcism points that are also skilled in martial arts. I'll just pick one randomly and see who I'm most compatible with!"
"Yes, I understand, esteemed user." The intelligent program smiled. "Then, I will immediately access the Level 5 ghost database and randomly select one for you."
The intelligent program remained silent for two minutes before speaking. "Alright, esteemed user, I have found you a level 5 martial arts ghost worth 100 exorcism points. He comes from a fictional novel; he is skilled with a knife and is an assassin. In the novel, on the day he was born, blood stained the earth red. Heaven is cruel, arranging a horrific massacre for him from birth. His origins are unknown. From a young age, he was instilled with hatred, drawing his knife tens of thousands of times a day, learning unparalleled swordsmanship through hardship and suffering. He is inherently lonely, desolate, dark, and resolute."
"His knife was a knife that struck fear into the hearts of all. It was neither expensive nor conspicuous; the scabbard and the hilt were both black. In many people's eyes, it was indeed an ugly knife. However, it was a magical knife; its light was more dazzling and swift than lightning. No one could see the knife clearly, not even those who died by its blade."
"His knife is an extension of his arm, an extension of his mind; in fact, he can draw his knife faster than he can think!"
"He could slay even demons with a single stroke of his sword! He's a cripple!"
"Dear user, would you like to spend 100 Exorcism Points to exorcise this ghost with level 5 martial arts strength?"
"Heh, you make it sound so sinister... well, I'll just play with him!" Gao Jianfei laughed.
Chapter 564 Fu Hongxue
Chapter 564 Fu Hongxue
"A level 5 ghost skilled with a knife? And its knife skills are terrifying, no one can dodge them?" Gao Jianfei had initially been indifferent, casually picking up a level 5 ghost with strong martial arts. However, seeing the level 5 ghost randomly selected by the intelligent program, Gao Jianfei became somewhat interested. He thought to himself, he himself could use a knife, and the Flying Sand and Stones Eighteen-Sword Technique he learned from Tian Boguang wasn't exactly rubbish, was it? Now, if he could summon this peak level 5 ghost skilled with a knife, it would be equivalent to enhancing his own knife skills. Anyway, he had a foundation, and could apply what he learned to other situations, achieving a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei directly said to the intelligent program, "Alright, let's spend 100 exorcism points on this ghost with level 5 martial arts strength!"
"As you wish, my esteemed user!" the intelligent program declared, and chaotic radio waves began to appear on the virtual display screen. A few minutes later, the radio waves disappeared, replaced by a data message...
Ghost's name / Ghost's level / Ghost's origin / Gender / Special skills in life /
Fu Hongxue / 5 / Border Town Prodigal, Moonlight Blade / Male / Swordsmanship (Galaxy Level)
"Ah? It's Fu Hongxue?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. A ruthless image from a novel immediately flashed through his mind… a disabled man, a cripple, always wielding a knife, ruthless with it. The moment he drew his blade, the enemy was already sentenced to death! His swordsmanship might not even be called swordsmanship, because he killed with a single stroke. A flash of light, and life or death was decided!
"Uh...characters from Gu Long's novels?" Gao Jianfei pondered. He was quite familiar with the martial arts novels of masters like Gu Long, Jin Yong, and Huang Yi, having grown up reading them. While the martial arts of Jin Yong's characters could be systematically traced back to their origins, the characters in Gu Long's novels seemed to take a more unorthodox approach... Whether it was Li Xunhuan, Fu Hongxue, or A Fei, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Lu Xiaofeng, etc., the strength of their martial arts was basically determined by a single, decisive move!
In the past, Gao Jianfei always drew characters from Jin Yong's novels, rarely drawing powerful characters from Gu Long's novels. Fu Hongxue can be said to be the first one!
"Dear user, would you like to immediately assemble the soul of Level 5 Ghost Fu Hongxue?" the intelligent program's voice asked solicitously.
"Okay, let's piece it together right away," Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
Immediately, a progress bar appeared, displaying Fu Hongxue's information.
At this moment, Gao Jianfei touched his nose and said, "By the way, Fu Hongxue's skills have already surpassed the 'international level' and reached the galaxy level, uh... the initial stage of the galaxy?"
"Dear user, the Super Ghost Instrument classifies skill levels into three levels once you reach the galaxy level:... Beginner Galaxy Level, Intermediate Galaxy Level, and Advanced Galaxy Level," the intelligent program explained with a sweet smile. "Furthermore, dear user, once your skill reaches the galaxy level, it means that you may no longer have any enemies on your planet. Even the most powerful enemies will be instantly killed by you."
"Heh," Gao Jianfei didn't feel particularly joyful or excited about the mention of intelligent programs. He was just indifferent, or rather, felt a bit empty...
Originally, Gao Jianfei could have stood at the pinnacle of the world without learning Fu Hongxue's swordsmanship. So what if he did learn Fu Hongxue's swordsmanship?
There's a sense of loneliness in a master!
At this moment, the intelligent program said, "Dear user, it's already November. In two months, it will be your 24th birthday. Just like last year, you will receive a birthday gift from the system. Hehe, now you can make a wish. Perhaps, two months later, the birthday gift you receive will be the same as your wish?"
"Haha!" Gao Jianfei laughed loudly. "Time flies, another year has passed in the blink of an eye... A biological gift? I'm not too demanding, I'll just let nature take its course!" After a pause, Gao Jianfei laughed, "Alright, I'm going out now. Hmm, my next task is to take my family on a trip around the world... Hahaha!"
After a burst of laughter, Gao Jianfei slipped out of the ghost den.
In the days that followed, Gao Jianfei, along with his parents, aunt, and Chen Xian, enjoyed a very pleasant world tour. Anyway, piecing together Fu Hongxue's soul wouldn't be possible for another three months, and Gao Jianfei didn't consider it at all, completely forgetting about it. Occasionally, he would call Zhuo Xiaowei, Song Ying, and other women at the American base. They were very understanding of Gao Jianfei and encouraged him to spend more time with his "sister-in-law." Besides, these women were having a fulfilling time at the base. They assisted the scientists in their research and also learned something new. Furthermore, Gao Jianfei's trusted subordinates, such as Blanco and Mario, had also moved into the base after selling the jewelry Gao Jianfei had entrusted to them, to help the scientists.
Gao Jianfei bought a private helicopter, hired a senior pilot, and traveled around the world with his family...
Explore the ruins of the ancient Inca Empire in Peru.
Chasing elephant herds in Africa.
Experience the romance of Paris.
Experience the allure of fashion in Milan.
There are also the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx.
The rainy season in Bangkok.
...
Gao Jianfei and his family had a wonderful time! They were overflowing with happiness!
And so, we continued our trip until the end of the year, specifically December 30th. The family settled in Australia, staying at a luxury hotel in Sydney.
"Jianfei, come and see, these are photos we took in South Africa. Hehe, look how silly you are smiling!" Chen Xian said to Gao Jianfei, who had just finished showering and was wrapped in a towel as he walked out of the bathroom.
After this period of relaxation and the nourishment of love, Chen Xian's skin became radiant and glowing. Furthermore, the nourishment from the orange mineral gave her a captivating and translucent charm.
Gao Jianfei, itching to see her, pounced on her, picked her up by the waist, and gently tossed her onto the bed.
"Jianfei... what are you doing!" Chen Xian said coquettishly.
"Hehe, you're asking a question you already know the answer to!" Gao Jianfei chuckled mischievously. He jumped down and pinned Chen Xian down.
