C99 (1/2)

While I was cultivating in seclusion, the public gambling house had officially started. In just a short week, Government of China had already bet seven hundred and twenty billion dollars, of which twenty trillion were for me and five trillion were for Huo Biba. Amongst the five trillion, the Gome, the current day and the Guoying had bet forty-five trillion.

The amount of bets placed on Gome was much higher than the amount bet placed on Hua Xia. The amount of bets accepted by Gome actually reached around one hundred billion USD.

And under such circumstances, the country also invested ten billion in the Gome. This was truly a huge investment, ten million, just how long would it take for the country to accumulate enough money to reach such a level? It seemed that the country had made a great deal of effort this time, and took this opportunity to strike a blow at the Gome.

Both countries had the intention of attacking each other. They wanted to kill the other side and their mortal enemy. This was indeed an opportunity for both sides to strike each other.

However, if I lose this time, then not only will China's economy have to fall back by fifty years, I estimate that with the way countries have added insult to injury, then China's economy can be pushed back for one or two hundred years, and even losing China's sovereignty is not impossible.

Moreover, it was not yet time for the martial arts competition, and the stakes were still increasing slowly. It was unknown how high he would reach in the end.

Of course, I don't know about these things. When I returned to the villa, Xiao Qian did not go out today. The others did not return.

Returning to the villa, Xiao Qian immediately ran in front of me and said: ”Ah Long, you're back, it's so good, I missed you. Grandpa Deng has already called and looked for you several times, since you're back, you should contact Grandpa Deng and the others.”

Once Xiao Qian said this, I knew why Grandpa Deng and the rest were looking for me. I pulled Xiao Qian over to kiss him, ”Did Grandpa Deng say why he wanted to see me? He knows that I'm going into closed door cultivation, so why is he still looking for me?

Xiao Qian shook her head: ”Hearing Grandpa Deng's tone, it does not seem like something urgent has happened, it seems like we still have to discuss about the martial competition. In a while, contact them and you will know, during the time you were in closed door cultivation, there were no problems at home, it was just that Big Brother Zuo had called to inform you about the group guards, everything else is fine.”

I nodded. ”I understand. I will deal with these matters. You don't have to worry about it. Where did Tingting and the others go?”

Xiao Qian said directly: ”They went to the library. When you were not around, they were basically spending their time in the library, and now that their knowledge is good, when I was chatting with them two days ago, the level of knowledge they displayed was already pretty profound, I think that they will be of great use to your future development. Ah Long, what are you going to do about their future location?”

I smiled. ”They? I plan to set up a research institute in the future and place them into it so that they can do their research. They are very willing to accept this job. What do you think?”

Xiao Qian nodded seriously: ”That's right, I think this is the best arrangement for them, they will definitely be able to research something good for you.”

After all, 30% of the brain development is not a joke, their thoughts are definitely abnormal. I continued, ”Changhai, they are still relatively weak, I will get them to find some talents for me when I go to university. In that way, my research team will be even richer, and my research team will be more advanced and advanced, and Changhai and the others won't have to work too hard. Hehe, I think Changhai and the others will also be willing to help me develop talents.”

After chatting with Xiao Qian for a while and recounting the pain of our love for each other, I started to contact the Grandpa Deng.

When the phone call connected, the Grandpa Deng could not wait any longer and said: ”Ah Long, you're out of closed door cultivation. Come to Beijing-Northwest immediately, I have something to discuss with you, we'll go to Wu Hao's house immediately.

After hearing how powerful Grandpa Deng was, I immediately asked in confusion: ”What's wrong, Grandpa Deng, what has caused you to become like this? Did something big happen? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Grandpa Deng said somewhat impatiently: ”Come quickly, you'll know what's going on when we get there.”

I could only helplessly say, ”Alright then. I'll make the arrangements now. I'll be there shortly.” After putting down the phone, I turned around to Xiao Qian and said: ”Xiao Qian, Grandpa Deng and the rest have urgent business with me, I will be going. Maybe I will not be back until after the end of the competition, you tell Changhai and the rest do not need to worry, I will not wait for them, alright, I will leave now.”

After Xiao Qian nodded her head to show that she understood, I immediately teleported to Beijing-Northwest's home.

Since Uncle Wu and the rest haven't come back yet, I could only sit in the living room and wait for them. I thought over and over again about what kind of things could make the Grandpa Deng and the rest so anxious.

I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reason. In the end, I simply didn't think of anything else and sat on the sofa, waiting for the Grandpa Deng and the rest to arrive.

An hour later, Grandpa Deng and the Chairman rushed over in a hurry. When Grandpa Deng and the others came in, Grandpa Deng impatiently said, ”Ah Long, we called you here to ask you a question. Are you sure about this competition? ”You have to think carefully before answering us. Right now, the country's survival is entirely up to you. You have to give us your bottom line. Our hearts are in turmoil right now.”
