"Heh, Feng Haoyu, I wonder if you're nervous now? Or do you think you can definitely take me down?" Gao Jianfei glanced at the three progress bars on the virtual screen, smiled smugly, and then flashed out of the Ghost Den.
…… …… ……
After attending the project selection ceremony, Feng Haoyu, along with Chen Yishi, Xiaodao, and several Kunlun disciples, flew directly from the Capital Airport to a small island in the Maldives. Their purpose was twofold: a vacation and meticulous preparation for their match against Gao Jianfei.
In a wooden cabin by the sea, Feng Haoyu, Chen Yishi, and Xiaodao sat together, sipping tea and chatting.
Outside the window, sexy bikini-clad women frolic. They are young and beautiful, blonde with blue eyes and slender, graceful figures. This is a gift Feng Haoyu prepared for her senior brother, Xiaodao!
Xiao Dao and Feng Haoyu were students in the same cohort of the Holy Land Academy, both dedicated to martial arts. Their swordsmanship was as fast and sharp as lightning. However, Xiao Dao didn't have Feng Haoyu's illustrious family background. After leaving the Holy Land Academy and gaining experience in society, he didn't acquire wealth or social status. Indeed, someone like Xiao Dao was, at best, a martial artist. Compared to Feng Haoyu, he was practically a kindergarten student when it came to building social connections and making money!
At this moment, Xiao Dao kept glancing at the young and beautiful blonde bikini-clad women outside the window, and he had already swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva!
Feng Haoyu chuckled inwardly… “Heh, Senior Brother Xiaodao, you people spend your whole lives learning martial arts, but you don’t know how to create wealth or enjoy life! Although my martial arts are far inferior to yours, I can still use material things to entice you! To make you work for me wholeheartedly! Haha, that’s the difference between us!”
"Brother Xiaodao, the Maldives is a tourist destination that people all over the world yearn for. For the next ten days or so, we'll be staying here! Uh... for example, those women, you can enjoy them to your heart's content for the next ten days. To be honest, these women are all super beauties who have participated in world beauty pageants or global tourism ambassadors... hehe..." Feng Haoyu said with a light smile.
Xiao Dao withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his chair, and squinted as he said, "I like the environment and climate here, and of course, I also like those foreign women. Junior Brother Hao Yu, I must say, your genius skill has enabled you to achieve a status in the mortal world that we martial artists can only dream of! Hmm, not bad, not bad!"
"Senior Brother Xiaodao, after my match with Gao Jianfei, I will reach a high level! I will become an idol worshipped by billions of people in the secular world! A super genius that no one can surpass!" Feng Haoyu's gaze also became fervent.
Xiao Dao nodded slightly.
“Brother Xiaodao, once I reach that level, I can provide you with perfect material enjoyment,” Feng Haoyu said calmly.
Xiao Dao's eyes lit up. "Yes! Junior Brother Hao Yu, you must defeat Gao Jianfei!"
At this moment, Chen Yishi interjected, "Haoyu, putting everything else aside, are you satisfied with this afternoon's lottery ceremony? How many items did you draw that were favorable to you?"
Feng Haoyu chuckled nonchalantly. "During the draw, Gao Jianfei also hired a hacker, but the hacker he hired was rubbish. He only got 'carpentry,' 'Spanish bullfighting,' and 'medical skills,' which were outside my plans. However, the remaining seven are all in my favor! If nothing unexpected happens, my match with Gao Jianfei will end with a total score of 7 to 3! Hehe, Gao Jianfei is not bad either, winning 3 out of 10 matches, he's quite something. It's just a pity... Hahaha, why did fate create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang! He was born in the same era as me, what a tragedy for him! Hahahaha..." After saying that, Feng Haoyu burst into a laugh so arrogant that even Xiao Dao and Chen Yishi felt a chill run down their spines.
The things Feng Haoyu said were all too insane!
Xiao Dao knew that Feng Haoyu had cultivated his genius skill to a very high level, greatly developing his brain area, which increased the burden on his brain and caused minor problems in his mind!
“Junior Brother Haoyu, you have already cultivated the Genius Divine Skill to the 6th level, mastering the specialties of 50 fields. I have a suggestion for you... you should not continue practicing!” Xiaodao said cautiously. “It is said that the Genius Divine Skill has 10 levels, this…” Xiaodao was certain that if Feng Haoyu cultivated the Genius Divine Skill to the 10th level of perfection, he would probably really go crazy!
Chen Yishi also said in a low voice, "Haoyu, I know you're very confident, which is a good thing. However... don't be too blindly confident. Gao Jianfei is not an ordinary person. This... cautious optimism is the best approach!"
"Nonsense!" Feng Haoyu's facial muscles twitched slightly. "I'm cautiously optimistic? No need! Gao Jianfei is simply no match for me! Take football, for example. I'll hire Real Madrid to play with me! And... hahaha! For certain positions, I'll hire individual superstars! For instance... Messi, Pique, and Puyol have already accepted my invitations. Aguero and Tevez are also willing to be substitutes... And Gao Jianfei? Can he even play football? I doubt he even understands the rules! What team in this world would be so brain-dead as to cooperate with someone who can't play football at all to fight against my Galacticos? Hahaha! Also, in brewing and stone carving, I've already reached the pinnacle of this world! And Gao Jianfei is good at gambling, isn't he? Hahaha! I'll crush him in his area of expertise! My internal strength is stronger than his. In fact, gambling and internal strength are two closely related fields... After I say all this, do you still think I can't defeat Gao Jianfei?"
Feng Haoyu's tone had an almost narcissistic feel to it!
Absolutely insane!
Upon hearing Feng Haoyu's words, Xiao Dao and Chen Yishi both fell silent.
Xiao Dao changed the subject, saying, "Junior Brother Hao Yu, there are a few senior brothers in our class who are very close to us. These senior brothers will also be heading to the Maldives today. Uh... let's get together and go with you to cheer you on when you compete against Gao Jianfei!"
"Yes! Thank you, senior brothers!" Feng Haoyu nodded.
Suddenly, the wooden cabin door opened by itself without any wind!
Chen Yishi exclaimed in surprise, "Who?!"
Xiao Dao paused for a moment, then laughed, "Haha! Senior Brother Ma, you've arrived? Please come in, please come in!"
After speaking, both Xiao Dao and Feng Haoyu stood up, their attitudes slightly respectful.
Soon, four people rushed in from outside the wooden house!
Three of them, including He Feng and Hao Yu, were around the same age as Xiao Dao. The remaining one was a middle-aged man in his forties, whose eyes held a chilling, almost electric glint! He was quite frightening!
"Huh? Senior Brother Ma, who is this?" Neither Xiao Dao nor Feng Haoyu recognized the man in his forties.
"Haha!" A short, stocky young man laughed heartily. "Junior Brother Haoyu, Junior Brother Xiaodao, this is Senior Brother Situ, who's three years ahead of us! This time, Senior Brother Situ accompanied us to see Junior Brother Haoyu and Junior Brother Xiaodao on the Venerable's orders. The Venerable instructed us to go with Junior Brother Haoyu during his match with Gao Jianfei, and after the match, Senior Brother Situ will directly capture Gao Jianfei!"
Chapter 417 Choosing a Birthday Gift!
Chapter 417 Choosing a Birthday Gift!
Senior Brother Situ!
Feng Haoyu and Xiaodao were both genuinely startled!
It's important to understand that among the numerous students of the Holy Land, there's a general rule: the older and higher the seniority of the disciple, the more formidable their martial arts! This is because the Holy Land's elders and deacons receive more high-grade pills than younger disciples. Pills are typically distributed once a year by the Holy Land. Therefore, older disciples naturally receive more high-grade pills. Of course, there are exceptions; disciples with exceptional talent or who have made special contributions to the Holy Land may receive high-grade pills as a reward.
Putting aside the digressions, this "Senior Brother Situ" is over forty years old and exudes a terrifying aura. In terms of ancient martial arts cultivation, he is definitely not someone that Feng Haoyu or Xiaodao can even dream of!
"Greetings, Senior Brother Situ!" The Holy Land places great importance on seniority, and both Xiao Dao and Feng Haoyu bowed respectfully.
However, in his heart, Feng Haoyu cursed... "Hmph! Senior Brother Situ? How arrogant! How overbearing! It's true that you are skilled in ancient martial arts, but with your level of cultivation, you should be able to restrain your aura, right? Yet you're here arrogantly unleashing your aura to intimidate us! Are you trying to establish your authority? Idiot!"
"Hmm. Not bad. Junior Brother Haoyu and Junior Brother Xiaodao are both handsome and extraordinary, truly outstanding among the students of our Holy Land. I am three years ahead of you, so it is only natural that you address me as 'Senior Brother' respectfully." The 'Senior Brother Situ' said casually, then sat down in a chair. "Junior Brother Haoyu, you should prepare well for the competition these next ten days. On the day of the competition, I will personally accompany you and support you. Do your best and don't embarrass our Holy Land! As for that guy Gao Jianfei, I will capture him directly after the competition and bring him to the Holy Land for the Venerables and Deacons to question and study."
He said that when he captured Gao Jianfei, he acted as if he were catching a dog or a cat, which was very arrogant.
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Feng Haoyu, Xiaodao, and the three other disciples of the Holy Land of the same generation could only nod respectfully and bow.
…… …… ……
After Gao Jianfei left the den of iniquity, he checked the time; it was a little past 4 a.m. He continued to sleep with Song Ying in his arms.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Gao Jianfei and Song Ying woke up at the same time. Lying in Gao Jianfei's arms, Song Ying gently bit her lower lip, her starry eyes hazy, her eyelashes fluttering a few times, and murmured, "Jianfei, you're leaving today, you...you can't you love me just one more time..." After saying this, Song Ying blushed and buried her head deeply in Gao Jianfei's chest.
"Haha, I'll gladly accept your offer!" Gao Jianfei flipped over and pinned Song Ying down!
As dawn broke, Gao Jianfei bid farewell to Song Ying and the women of the Emei Sect, arriving at the Capital Airport refreshed. There, a lay disciple of Wudang was already waiting, having purchased Gao Jianfei's ticket and personally seeing him off onto the plane.
After several hours of flight, the plane landed in City D of the province. Gao Jianfei left the airport and, instead of seeking help from the lay disciples of the ancient martial arts sects, took a taxi and returned to his hometown.
I got home just in time for lunch.
Gao Jianfei sat at the dining table, enjoying the delicious food cooked by Chen Xian while casually chatting with his family about yesterday's lottery ceremony.
Of course, Gao Jianfei wouldn't tell his family everything in detail, but would simply brush it off with friendly excuses. And then, Gao Jianfei solemnly announced, "Mom, Mom, Aunt, Xiaoxian, we're moving soon! Temporarily, we're moving abroad!"
"Huh?" Dad, Mom, and Aunt all put down their chopsticks at the same time, staring at Gao Jianfei in disbelief.
Chen Xian had heard Gao Jianfei mention this beforehand, so she wasn't particularly surprised. She simply frowned and asked, "Jianfei, which country are we moving to...?"
Gao Jianfei had already made his choice. Asia, particularly Thailand, seemed too unreliable, while the Americas, including the United States and Argentina, were too far away. As a compromise, he decided to have his family move to Europe first.
In Europe, Gao Jianfei is affiliated with four countries and enjoys various privileges from these four countries.
Liechtenstein, Russia, Italy, Germany.
Liechtenstein is too small, a tiny place, so Gao Jianfei ignored it for the first time.
Russia is too cold, I'm not going!
In reality, that leaves only two choices: Germany and Italy.
From an economic perspective, Germany is in a better position than Italy. Generally speaking, Germany, France, and the UK are among the strongest economies in Europe.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei ultimately chose Germany. Another reason was that Gao Jianfei had reached an agreement with the German national football team to cooperate in the football event of the Talent Challenge against the formidable Real Madrid. Therefore, Gao Jianfei also wanted to go to Germany beforehand to discuss the matter with the German national team's head coach, Joachim Löw.
Anyway, it would take another 7 days to see the three ghosts: Garrincha, Socrates, and Zhang Shun. Since he had nothing else to do, Gao Jianfei decided to personally take his family to Germany!
"Yes, let's go to Germany! I'll contact my friends in Germany this afternoon." Gao Jianfei stated his decision directly.
"Jianfei...to...to Germany?" The mother's eyes were a little dazed. She had never even left her province in her entire life, well, she had practically lived in her hometown of China, a small third-tier inland city in China, for decades. Now, to suddenly tell her that she was going abroad was something she couldn't quite accept!
Aunt stared straight at Gao Jianfei, "Jianfei, what are you doing? Our family is doing just fine, and the city leaders have been very kind to us. Why do you suddenly want to go abroad? Jianfei, you and Xiaoxian are young, you can go abroad and broaden your horizons. We old folks have received our pensions, we just want a peaceful life, we don't want to go through all this trouble with you..."
Gao Jin was a prominent figure in his early years. When he saw his son's solemn expression, he immediately realized something was wrong. He thought to himself, "Jianfei's social status is very high now. Someone like him must have offended some terrible forces. Therefore, he wants us to move abroad to avoid implicating us!"
With that thought in mind, Gao Jin decisively said, "Alright, wife, elder sister, stop arguing. Now, Jianfei is the head of the family, and he makes the decisions about things at home! Let's go to Germany! Stop arguing!"
Gao Jianfei nodded to his father, then stood up, went to the balcony, and started making phone calls to contact relevant people.
First, from the German side, a phone call was made, and Klose readily agreed to Gao Jianfei's request, saying that he would immediately go to Frankfurt to find a large apartment for the Gao family.
Then, Gao Jianfei contacted some lay disciples of high social standing from the D side, Shaolin and Wudang sects, and asked them to take care of his family's passports, plane tickets, and so on.
Gao Jianfei spent the entire afternoon on this matter.
With a strong network of connections to handle things, these trivial matters were resolved very easily. By evening, all the formalities were completed. Klose would be specifically responsible for the reception arrangements in Germany.
Gao Jianfei relaxed, finished dinner, and then announced to his family that they should pack their things quickly, as they would be leaving the day after tomorrow, heading to D City Airport first!
In the afternoon, Gao Jin and Chen Xian worked on their aunt and mother, and by then they had basically accepted the reality of going to Germany.
I'll start packing tonight.
Under Gao Jianfei's command, all the jars and pots were discarded! All that was needed was a bank card and a few simple changes of clothes.
Chen Xian's boutique dog shop was also handed over to those few female employees to manage. As for the house, it was given to them to live in.
After settling in, I stayed home for another day.
That evening, my parents and aunt sighed and lamented in the living room. After all, they were going abroad, which was even more heartbreaking than leaving their hometown. Moreover, they didn't know if they would ever be able to come back in their lifetime.
"Hey, Dad, Mom, Aunt, I know sending you abroad will have a huge impact on your lives and emotions. But... I have no choice! I have to ensure your safety!" After the family went back to their room to rest, Gao Jianfei and Chen Xian also took a shower and went into the bedroom.
Lying in bed, Gao Jianfei lit a cigarette before smiling at Chen Xian and saying, "Get some rest, Xiao Xian. Our family has to get to D City Airport early tomorrow morning."
"Mmm," Chen Xian replied obediently.
The couple didn't cause any trouble tonight and went to bed early in each other's arms.
In the middle of the night, Gao Jianfei was abruptly awakened by the voice of the intelligent program... "Dear user, sorry to disturb you!"
"Hmm?" Gao Jianfei rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling a little annoyed, and communicated with the intelligent program's consciousness... "What is it now? I'm sleeping!"
Currently, the Super Ghost Device is piecing together the three major ghosts: Garrincha, Socrates, and Zhang Shun. Gao Jianfei can no longer use the Super Ghost Device for anything else. He can't understand why the intelligent program is contacting him at this time!
"What are you doing?" Gao Jianfei asked impatiently.
"Dear user, your birthday is on the 21st of next month, right?" the AI program said, uttering something completely irrelevant!
Gao Jianfei choked... Yes, January 21st is Gao Jianfei's birthday according to the Gregorian calendar.
It's December now.
As a user of this super ghost device, Gao Jianfei's intelligent program naturally knew all of his information, including his age and birthday.
“Yes, January 21st is my birthday,” Gao Jianfei nodded.
"Yes, esteemed user, the inventor of the Super Ghost Device, will give every user a birthday gift on their birthday! This is a perk!" the intelligent program said solicitously.
"Pfft..." Gao Jianfei almost burst out laughing when he heard this!
Holy crap, this is amazing! It even has perks? It sends birthday gifts to every user on their birthday?
That's so incredibly user-friendly!
