"Huh? This news doesn't mean anything to me in any substantial way." Feng Haoyu sipped his tea arrogantly. "Gambling skills? My World Genius Challenge with Gao Jianfei also included gambling skills, but the probability of drawing a gambling skill is only one in fifty. Admittedly, if I gambled with Gao Jianfei, his chances of winning might be higher. However, if it really came down to a bet, I wouldn't be afraid of him! Uncle Chen, you have to know that Gao Jianfei is a master of internal martial arts. If he gambled against Chen Yifeng, a worldly person, it would be strange if Chen Yifeng won!"
“Yes, nephew Haoyu, I know that internal strength can indeed be applied to gambling.” Chen Yishi nodded.
"Hmm, there are still two months until the genius challenge between Gao Jianfei and me. This guy is quite leisurely. At a time like this, instead of preparing properly, he's busy competing for fame and fortune, vying with worldly people for wealth and status... He's really stupid!" Feng Haoyu mocked. "But it's fine too. Gao Jianfei's social status is getting higher and higher. In two months, I'll trample him underfoot, just to show off my talent! Hmm, not bad, not bad, Gao Jianfei, keep jumping around! The higher you climb, the harder you'll fall!"
Tokyo, Japan.
The King of Thailand, Sua, Prince Adam of Liechtenstein, German Klose, Russian Kirilenko, and several other dignitaries from European countries gathered in a suite.
"Everyone, our good friend Chen Yifeng has now become a cripple. What are your thoughts on this?" King Sua of Thailand asked with a smile.
"Haha, what can we possibly think? Does His Majesty Sua really want to avenge Chen Yifeng?" Klose sneered.
“Indeed, Mr. Chen Yifeng and I have cooperated for more than ten years and have built a deep friendship. However, my friend Chen Yifeng is the Chen Yifeng who is in perfect condition and whose gambling skills are the best in the world, not the Chen Yifeng who has been cut off and is completely useless now.” Su A smiled repeatedly. “I must say that our casino now needs to recruit a gambling god.”
Yes, these casinos run by various national powers also involve mutual infighting and suppression.
For example, casinos controlled by the United States occasionally clash with those controlled by some European countries.
These can be described as hostile nations on the gambling table.
Now that Chen Yifeng is dead, casinos in countries like Thailand, Germany, and Russia may be targeted by hostile nations!
Of course, the crackdown on gambling should not be confused with politics, military affairs, diplomacy, and other fields.
Suppression at the gambling table can only be resolved at the gambling table!
“Those old Indians and Iranians have always coveted my casino.” Sua shook his head and chuckled. “Back when I was in charge, I could keep these greedy guys in check, but now… well, I need Gao Jianfei! He’s the God of Gamblers!”
Chapter 362 People from Qingcheng!
Chapter 362 People from Qingcheng!
Gao Jianfei's Ghost Den, Room 4-1!
Gao Jianfei was carefully seeking instruction from Su Rongrong on her world-class disguise skills!
After six hours of study, thanks to the powerful learning function of the Super Ghost Instrument, Gao Jianfei finally mastered Su Rongrong's disguise technique!
Having mastered this art of disguise, even Gao Jianfei himself was filled with mixed emotions of joy and amazement!
It truly is a marvel of craftsmanship, a skill that cannot be verified or investigated using modern science!
First, to learn how to make human skin masks, you must first learn wood carving!
A human head model is carved from a log! The facial features and shape of this head model must be lifelike and exquisite! After the wood carving is completed, a human skin mask is made using special materials and applied to the wood carving, which will then reveal a vivid human face!
This face, when pasted onto the imposter's face, can immediately complete the disguise, turning oneself into another person!
"Ha, by learning this art of disguise, I've also learned a woodcarving skill. What a bargain!" Gao Jianfei was overjoyed.
The special material used to make the human skin mask is the sap of a tree called the "banana tree"! Gao Jianfei had never heard of this tree before. He guessed it was a tree unique to the fictional world of the Chu Liuxiang Legend. It might not be found in the real world!
Fortunately, there was a large amount of refined banana tree sap in Su Rongrong's room. Gao Jianfei temporarily used his exorcism points to exchange some of this sap from Su Rongrong for his own use.
Okay, the price of tree sap isn't too expensive. After several hours of recovery, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points returned to "1000". He then used these 1000 exorcism points to exchange for a small bucket of banana tree sap.
He bid farewell to Su Rongrong, carrying the bucket of tree sap, and leisurely left the den of ghosts.
It was past 4 a.m. when Gao Jianfei returned to his bedroom. He put away the tree sap, took a quick shower, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Gao Jianfei was woken up by a phone call from Tang Bao, who wanted him to come over and have lunch with them.
Tang Bao, Fei Long, and the others will take a flight back to China this afternoon.
Gao Jianfei did not try to stop them.
Tang Bao and Chen Yaohui gained a lot from their trip to Japan, securing a series of cooperative projects with the Yamaguchi-gumi. Fei Long also benefited greatly, reaching development cooperation agreements with several multinational corporations in Europe.
We had lunch at the hotel's revolving restaurant. We opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate.
During the meal, Feilong's wife laughed and said, "Jianfei, we had a wonderful time on this trip to Japan. Jianfei, you also avenged Brother Jin by defeating Chen Yifeng and obtaining all of Chen Yifeng's assets. Now, Jianfei, you have become one of the world's richest people!"
"Heh..." Gao Jianfei chuckled, "A single betting match made me one of the world's richest people overnight. It's really...exciting! Haha, no wonder so many people love gambling!"
Indeed, gambling is an industry where one can easily get rich quick.
“Jianfei, from a personal perspective, you have indeed entered the ranks of the world’s top 10 richest people. However, compared with the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Arab royal family, some European royal families, and the Italian Mafia, your wealth is still insignificant. So, Jianfei, you should keep a low profile.” Feilong said to Gao Jianfei with a smile.
“I understand, Brother Feilong. In fact, money is just a number to me now.” Gao Jianfei said honestly. “For example, even if I had money now, I wouldn’t bring my parents to the big city or buy them a house. I would still let them live in our hometown, and my own life wouldn’t change much.”
"Heh," Feilong chuckled, "So, Jianfei, have you ever thought about entering the business world?"
Gao Jianfei shrugged and said, "I don't have that idea for now." After a pause, Gao Jianfei said, "Brother Feilong, I'll raise several billion US dollars for your company, and then I can sit back and collect the profits, haha, how about that?"
Raising billions of US dollars?
Feilong's company has total assets of no more than 1 billion US dollars. If Gao Jianfei were to invest several billion in Feilong's company, it would undoubtedly open up a vast new world for Feilong's business!
The group drank and chatted, enjoying each other's company immensely.
"Nephew, your affairs in Japan are settled now. When are you returning to China?" Tang Bao asked with a smile. "You wouldn't be thinking of settling down in Japan, would you?"
"Of course not!" Gao Jianfei laughed. "I'll be leaving Japan in a few days. However, I won't be returning to the province immediately; I plan to visit the capital."
The capital city. It's the host city for the world-renowned genius challenge that Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu will face two months later. Gao Jianfei plans to go there first to check things out. Also, Song Ying works for the capital's television station, and Gao Jianfei promised her he would spend a few days with her after the competition.
During his few days in the capital, Gao Jianfei will quickly summon a level 4 medical ghost, then return to his hometown to treat his mother's illness.
"The capital?" Feilong's wife smiled knowingly, giving Gao Jianfei a meaningful look. "Jianfei, you wouldn't happen to be hiding a beauty in the capital, would you? Hehe..."
Gao Jianfei blushed, thinking to himself, "My sister-in-law is indeed an experienced woman; she sees things very clearly!" He retorted, "No way! I've wanted to go to the capital to see the flag-raising ceremony since I was a child. Now that I have the time, I'll go for a few days!"
Feilong's wife said no more, but nodded to herself as if she understood everything.
Feilong, Tang Bao, and Chen Yaohui all wore expressions that said, "We all know," leaving Gao Jianfei extremely embarrassed!
After lunch, we took Feilong and Tang Bao to catch their flight.
In the afternoon, Gao Jianfei will go to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters to treat Zhu Cong and Yamaguchi Harumo.
In Haruko Yamaguchi's villa.
Gao Jianfei had already inserted silver needles into Yamaguchi Haruko and Zhu Cong.
In his spare time, Gao Jianfei would hold a document and read it with a smile... "Uh, he has a manor in Greece; a large apartment in Canada, another manor, a private helicopter, and a private yacht; several government companies in Spain and Italy, with stocks; $11 billion in deposits in Swiss banks... three courtyard houses in the capital of Z country... a winery in France... two rubber plantations and a copper mine in Africa..."
This document is a general outline that lists all the assets that Gao Jianfei transferred from Chen Yifeng!
Every single line and every single industry is crystal clear.
"Haha, Mr. Jianfei, from today onwards, all these properties belong to you!" Yamaguchi Harumi said with a smile.
"Heh, Yamaguchi-kun, it seems you're very efficient. If I were to handle the handover with Chen Yifeng's lawyer, it would probably take me a month to transfer all these properties," Gao Jianfei said to Yamaguchi Harukoku.
So when Gao Jianfei left the Yamaguchi Spring Light Villa, he was carrying a large pile of documents, contracts, and so on.
Before leaving, Yamaguchi Harumo said to Gao Jianfei, "Jianfei-kun, in two days, King Sua of Thailand, along with some dignitaries from European countries, will personally visit you. Please be prepared."
"Haha, as expected, after Chen Yifeng is destroyed, they will turn their attention to me! Fine, I'll wait for them to contact me!" Gao Jianfei laughed and left.
Gao Jianfei did not ask Kagawa Masami to drive him home.
After leaving Yamaguchi Haruka's villa, he first found a secluded spot and quickly threw the pile of contracts and documents into the ghost den. Then, he found a truck, bought a large quantity of timber and various carving tools, and piled them up in his yard.
"Huh? Jianfei, what are you planning to do now?" Li Yun, Zheng Cuiyun, and the others expressed their confusion about Gao Jianfei's strange behavior.
Gao Jianfei said mysteriously, "It's a secret for now. I'll give you a surprise tonight!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei plunged into a room that had been converted into a wood carving studio!
Let's begin making our first human skin mask!
The first step is to carve the logs.
To sculpt, you always need a model. Gao Jianfei held the carving knife in his hand, his eyes lighting up... "Ha! I'll just use them as my models!"
So Gao Jianfei began to carve the likenesses of Mu Wanqing, A Zhu, Feng Heng, and even Su Rongrong!
His skillful knife work caused sawdust to fly everywhere in the studio.
Soon, Gao Jianfei sculpted four wooden faces!
The resemblances are those of Mu Wanqing, A'Zhu, Feng Heng, and Su Rongrong! Although Gao Jianfei cannot claim that his work is 100% identical to the real people, he is at least 95% similar.
Gao Jianfei was in high spirits! After completing four wooden models, he rushed out, ate a quick dinner, and then buried himself in his work again.
To give seven Emei women a complete makeover, we're currently missing three wooden models.
Gao Jianfei then sculpted the appearance of the top three Asian contestants of the Miss Universe pageant that he had seen on TV some time ago, based on his memory!
All seven models are now complete!
Then, Gao Jianfei began the next step!
Make a human skin mask!
Using a fine brush, dipped in banana tree sap, the sap was gently applied to the faces of seven wooden models. The application was very thin. Before long, seven masks, thinner than paper, formed! These were the miraculously crafted human skin masks!
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei summoned all seven Emei women to his studio!
The seven women from Emei Mountain exchanged glances, and Li Yun asked Gao Jianfei with a puzzled look, "Jianfei, why did you call us all here? Are we about to return to China?"
Gao Jianfei laughed, "Returning to China is certain, but not so soon; we'll have to wait a few more days." He paused. "Sister Li Yun, even if you return to China in your current appearance, you're still very likely to be tracked down by the Qingcheng Sect. Therefore, I need to disguise you again!"
"Disguise?" Li Yun frowned. "Jianfei, your disguise skills are indeed very impressive, but it's not very convenient to always have a thick layer of flour and plaster on your face. Moreover, once it gets wet, the disguise will be exposed. We don't even dare to take a bath!"
Yes, A'Zhu's disguise technique can deceive people, but it is quite complicated and has many inconveniences.
Gao Jianfei laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I know that disguising and applying makeup to you for a long time is not only inconvenient, but also might expose us. So, I have improved the disguise technique!"
"Improvement?" Li Yun and the others were surprised.
"Wait, I have something to show you!" Gao Jianfei turned around confidently and gently peeled off the human skin mask that resembled Feng Heng. Then he said to Li Yun, "Sister Li Yun, come here!"
"Huh? Jianfei, you do wood carving?" Seeing the exquisite wood carving revealed after the human skin mask was removed, Li Yun's eyes flashed with amazement. "What a perfect wood carving!"
"Hehe, there's something even more perfect than this!" Gao Jianfei continued to beckon to Li Yun, "Come on, Sister Li Yun, don't dawdle, come here first!"
Li Yun nodded slightly and walked towards Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei's gaze began to become focused and serious.
Suddenly, he reached out and started touching Li Yun's face!
Li Yun shrank back in fright!
"Jianfei...you?" Li Yun was both shy and hot all over, and a little angry. "What!"
