Chapter 40 (1/2)

After laughing for a long time and when they had both run out of energy, the two of them lay on the huge bed in the spiritual beast carriage, with Fatty hugging the box tightly.

One hundred Jade coins could be exchanged for one inferior-grade spiritual jade, and one million Jade coins could be exchanged for 10,000 inferior-grade spiritual jades. Ten inferior-grade spiritual jades could be exchanged for one middle-grade spiritual jade, and 100 middle-grade spiritual jades could only be exchanged for one superior-grade spiritual jade. That meant his one million Jade coins could be exchanged for 1,000 middle-grade spiritual jades. That was ten superior-grade spiritual jades!

When he thought back about how he had used ten middle-grade spiritual jades to open the channel, Ren Jie felt his heart ache. Heck, how long could all of this last? When he thought about this Ren Jie suddenly realized that he would have to think about what to do with this one million Jade coins. If he used it to open the channel within the sea of knowledge, then who knows how long that would last.

Even though it felt scary, when he thought about the Sage’s preaching and the changes he had experienced in himself because of it, Ren Jie knew that he would do all he could to open that channel again.

After rejoicing, the issue of the channel within the sea of knowledge appeared in his mind again, and the calculation made his heart ache. That was too scary. One billion taels of gold and yet, who knew how long it would last after being exchanged for spiritual jades.

But when he thought about seeing the channel again, Ren Jie felt that everything was worth it.

He thought about how he was able to easily memorize a few hundred books and learn all the array formations, cultivation techniques and medicines beneath the Divine Power Realm easily. These were all things that money could not buy. If not because he had reached the stage of Mighty Realm, no amount of money would give him the ability to read a few hundred books in days and memorize all of them as well as to understand them. Nor would it give him the ability to learn the whole All-Kill Array in one night.

But now, there were more pressing issues for them to solve. When Ren Jie saw the title deed of the Chang Le Casino, he already knew what Fang Yan was playing at, but he did not foil his plans then. He had also caught a glimpse of the middle-grade spiritual instrument that Fang Tianen had people bring over. While he had yet to open the box, Ren Jie roughly knew what was going on.

“We must celebrate, boss. Tell us, where shall we go to celebrate?” Gao Ren grew tired from laughing and slowly got up, his plump stomach hardly getting in the way at all. The first thought that came to his mind after waking up was what he should eat to celebrate.

They were finally rich and did not have to take the Elders’ attitudes anymore, how could they not celebrate this?

“Leave the celebrations for later,” Ren Jie said as he rushed outside. “Uncle Beast, go and find the Chang Le Gang.”

“What are we going to the Chang Le Gang for?” Gao Ren looked at Ren Jie in confusion.

“That bastard Fang Yan fooled us. Even though Chang Le Casino’s title deed adds up to about one million Jade coins, that’s not the most valuable part about it. The people in there and their clients are the most valuable. He must have promised the head of the Chang Le Gang something along the lines of helping them build a new casino or something, which is why he was able to buy the Chang Le Casino at such a low price.”

While others may not have thought of this, Ren Jie was different as he had grown up on Earth. He was well aware of the importance of talent and resources.

He may not have been able to get this straight in the past, but after he leveled up from the Mighty Realm he was able to reconcile the memory he had from both worlds as well as put all the news he heard along the way to use.

In his previous life, Earth experienced a large influx of information, and the amount of information he encountered in a year was easily a hundred times or even a thousand times more than what one would encounter in their whole life just a generation ago. Unfortunately, the human brain’s capacity was limited and could not retain all the information. However, Ren Jie could now clearly remember everything he encountered and even put them all to good use.

Gao Ren was getting more confused as he listened to him talk about clients and resources. Since when did his boss know about all these things? He sounded so sure of himself as if he had gone through all of this before.

“Things may look simple, but it is incredibly difficult to find an experienced team, the relevant resources, and clients. Chang Le Casino has the expertise we need. These 12 casinos are too big and require many experienced people to operate them, which will be too difficult without them. Without them, these houses are merely worth one million Jade coins and maybe less, around 700,000 to 800,000, because they are not operating as casinos. Hence, we must quickly rush over now or else this potentially lucrative business will go to waste and become a one-time lump sum of money instead,” Ren Jie said as he looked at the Fang residence disappearing into the distance. Fang Yan was in such a rush earlier, he could not have done much.

Moreover, he would be tied down over Fang Qi now, which gave him more time to take care of the four Elders of the Chang Le Gang and gain more benefits for himself.

“Sounds… like it… makes sense.” Gao Ren was already lost as he did not know much about business. He simply liked delicious food and money, probably because he had experienced hunger and being poor just a tad too much in the past. Besides that, all he liked was studying medicinal prescriptions and… he realized that he liked coming out with Ren Jie after the last two incidents. It was always thrilling to come out with him. As for managing a business, that was far from his forte.
