The Grand Wealth of Gao Linzhi Shocked Everyone

Yes, Gao Linzhi checked his Game Backpack.

A large number of props and supplies.

Many of them are at least purple rank.

This is the standard setup for a top-tier player who dominates the server; they have so many resources they can't even count them all.

He's usually too lazy to use it.

Now, however, we face a problem.

He can't just give away supplies for nothing.

He's not a saint or a fool; he wouldn't give up a lot of supplies for strangers.

Therefore, he must use these things to obtain what he wants.

So he began to ask the Werewolf Teacher directly:

"Teacher, if any of us can provide a large number of alternative sacrificial supplies and the necessary items for the ritual, what reward will the academy give us?"

All the students immediately looked at him.

"Anyone who can ask such a question must be a powerful figure capable of providing substantial resources."

"I never imagined that one of our classmates would be such a wealthy person?"

"Finally, I've met a tycoon!"

The Werewolf Teacher was also laughing like a human being.

It immediately replied, "Of course there will be a reward, and a very big one at that."

"If you can provide enough sacrificial offerings, once the founding of the nation is successful, we will appoint you as the Grand General of Yingtian."

Gao Linzhi was speechless.

What's the difference between this and "Qin Shi Huang, send money"?

Do you think I'm that easy to fool?

Gao Linzhi remained Jingjing.

The Werewolf Teacher then laughed.

"Haha, okay."

"I know everyone here is intelligent; those who have come here are all intelligent."

"I'm not one of those fools who believe whatever they're told."

"Then let's talk about something that only intelligent people can understand."

"It's very simple. As long as you provide enough resources, perform a ritual, and attract strange creatures."

"Then the imperial court cannot go to that shipping route to collect tribute."

"Our people can take their place and collect tributes in place of the imperial court."

"At that time, we promise you can get half of what you want."

"Of course, the same goes for everyone else."

Upon hearing this, Gao Linzhi was utterly speechless.

These guys are really something.

Gao Linzhi was finally satisfied.

That's more like human language.

The difference between a wise person and a foolish person is that a wise person takes control of the situation.

Only do what you can control, and only do what can be truly implemented in the short term.

Rather than something that cannot be verified in the long term.

For example, things that are only fulfilled "after...".

Those who know, know.

For example, the fact that the other party is now willing to transfer half of the offerings is something that Gao Linzhi can control.

If the other party refuses to transfer the rights, Gao Linzhi can reopen the passage.

This is a kind of constraint.

If you have no power to control the other party to a contract, you should never expect them to fulfill their obligations.

That's the key.

Once the country was successfully founded, this matter was no longer within Gao Linzhi's control.

"In that case, how many do you need?" Gao Linzhi then asked.

The Werewolf Teacher immediately became excited.

Gao Linzhi, however, calmly asked:

"So what good stuff do you have right now?"

"I need something to save my life."

"You must understand, this is going against the imperial court."

The Werewolf Teacher was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Wuming student, that's not how things are done."

"We came together to overthrow the imperial court."

"It's not right to ask for benefits before even doing anything."

At this moment, the other students started to clamor:

"What's wrong with this?"

"Exactly, don't act until you see the benefit."

"That's right, that's how it should be."

"We absolutely cannot let ourselves be White Wolf."

Gao Linzhi was very pleased.

These students are indeed intelligent.

They were well aware that they were on the same side as them.

If this academy can screw over itself, it can screw over them too.

That's the same thing.

As expected, the Werewolf Teacher had no choice but to answer directly, "So what do you want?"

"I want so many things."

"Because I can offer more," Gao Linzhi said confidently. "I can pay for some supplies first, in exchange for things that will save my life."

"Oh, that's a smart thing to do."

"Our academy still has many good things," the Werewolf Teacher nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

And the crowd joined in the commotion.

That's more like it.

"Yes, if a deal can be reached, that would be a good thing."

"That's right, it's a good thing for everyone."

From their words, Gao Linzhi could tell that these students were actually newcomers.

It is at least not integrated with the Daoist Academy.

Moreover, they were not afraid of the Daoist Academy.

It seems that they all have profound knowledge and experience.

It's roughly equivalent to someone whose family owns a mine; either from a prestigious family or a nouveau riche.

"In that case, let's leave it at that."

The Werewolf Teacher glanced at everyone and immediately burst out laughing.

He then asked Gao Linzhi, "What supplies do you have?"

Gao Linzhi then briefly listed the items in his Game Backpack.

"500 portions of Purple-Tier Demon Bone..."

"230 purple-tier jade talismans and 1 Blue Tier Demon Soul."

"200 tons of gold, 50,000 tons of silver, and countless amounts of copper and iron."

"Purple Rank..."

Upon hearing this, both the Werewolf Teacher and the students were greatly shocked.

None of them doubted that Gao Linzhi exaggerating.

After all, these things will need to be demonstrated during the transaction.

A smart person wouldn't tell a lie that's so easily exposed.

Only a fool would do that.

"Incredible, is this the royal treasury?"

"Where did all these things come from?"

"With so many items, if used one by one, this is enough for dozens of large-scale sacrificial ceremonies!"

"Haha, with so many things, we're sure to win this contest!" the Werewolf Teacher exclaimed excitedly.

The other students also got excited.

"That's right!"

"That's great!"

"We can go all out and do something big now!"

Gao Linzhi felt a chill in his heart as he watched the students' excitement.

Damn, they're just a bunch of poor bastards.

What they have left is some heritage.

These students are likely from a collateral branch of the family.

They are some people who are not favored.

"Now we can defeat our opponent!"

In short, Gao Linzhi found the truth ridiculous.

In fact, these seemingly mysterious and secretive individuals are actually quite insecure at heart.

Their plan appears ambitious.

It involved both sacrifices and the seduction of strange creatures.

It's really just a bunch of destructive tricks.

Moreover, they can't accomplish anything too significant.

The reason is simply because their families didn't provide them with much support.

That's why they were so excited when they saw the list of supplies provided by Gao Linzhi.

In fact, this excitement proves the other person's poverty.

These students, on the surface, all seemed to have a very good demeanor.

It has a deep cultural heritage.

But just like a fallen noble family, a declining four great families, and a fallen Dream of the Red Chamber.

They have the air and the knowledge, but their inner selves are empty.

At this moment, the Werewolf Teacher said, "Very good, then I will write down the supply list for you."

"But when will these supplies be allocated to us?"

"In other words, when will we be able to receive these supplies?"

Gao Linzhi smiled and said, "These supplies can be obtained at any time."

The Werewolf Teacher stared at Gao Linzhi and immediately smiled.

"It seems you have connections with those players."

It should have realized that Gao Linzhi was a player.

However, Gao Linzhi was using a puppet.

Therefore, it has no way to learn from others' strengths.

"Heh, think what you want. As long as I have something to save your lives, I'll allocate the supplies to you."

Gao Linzhi was worried about what to do with all the messy supplies from before.

It's a real shame to hand it over to a trading company to sell.

Because many of the materials are rewards obtained by ranking high.

Many players still can't afford the price.

In other words, they are difficult to sell; if you sell them at a low price, you'll lose too much money.

Therefore, it's best to obtain items of sufficient value from NPCs.

"Great! Now that a powerful figure is willing to give us resources, we're guaranteed to win this time!" one student exclaimed excitedly.

"Very good, then we can sign the contract now."

The Werewolf Teacher then solemnly invited Gao Linzhi to a study in the academy.

This is the "Headmaster's" private office.

It must be said that they highly valued Gao Linzhi.

This also demonstrates their poverty.

This is normal.

An organization hidden underground cannot possibly be very wealthy.

Those so-called Jiangzuo Alliances don't exist.

In short, a hidden organization can never be as wealthy as an organization that is in the public eye.

Because wealth itself refers to "labor power".

You've hidden yourself away, so the workforce you can directly control is definitely very small.

Most people are people you can't come into contact with, and therefore can't directly control.

After Gao Linzhi entered the study, the Werewolf Teacher also changed Gao Linzhi's position.

He was originally sitting in the back.

An inconspicuous corner.

Move to a front-row window seat immediately.

After Gao Linzhi was led to the study, he met the headmaster of the Daoist Academy.

The headmistress was a kind-looking old lady.

She should be around 60 years old.

No, the other person shouldn't be an old lady.

After examining the person, Gao Linzhi discovered that they were in disguise.

She appears to be an old woman, but her true identity is that of a young girl.

Gao Linzhi used an Appraisal Skill and discovered that the other party looked very old, but actually had a very young face.

Upon further examination, their true age was revealed to be "1800 years old!"

[Chu Lianxing]

[Age: 1800 years old]

[Appearance: Disguised elderly appearance, true appearance, youthful face]

Goodness, that's a double disguise.

When you see through the first layer, you assume the other person is a young girl.

Actually, no.

Only after seeing through another layer did they realize that the other party was a Longevity Being.

This woman was, arguably, the longest-lived person Gao Linzhi had ever seen, aside from the strange ones.

Moreover, this is someone who is truly alive, unlike those weird creatures that are fake.

The other party can enjoy it, see it, and perceive it.

This is real life.

And at this time...

The headmaster chuckled faintly, "This is really boring."

"I thought someone interesting had come."

"I never expected him to be such a mundane and ordinary person."

Gao Linzhi was speechless.

This woman becomes more terrifying as she gets older.

It should be said that they are the most difficult to please.

Fortunately, the woman was just saying it casually.

She then said to Gao Linzhi, "I know that you possess considerable strength."

"It seems you must be a big shot in your own right."

"In that case, you can join our advanced class."

What is a "rocket class"?

"It's like a training course that takes you straight to the sky, like taking a rocket."

"Several of our excellent teachers will be teaching this class together."

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied with this.

That's more like it.

"Hehe, it seems you're quite satisfied."

"That's fine."

Gao Linzhi thus entered the elite class.

As for their previous transaction, the headmaster did not proceed immediately.

It seems we need to assess Gao Linzhi.

They were probably worried that Gao Linzhi was a traitor.

But what's the deal with this "rocket class"?

The next day.

Gao Linzhi followed the Werewolf Teacher to a small classroom.

There are no students here, only five.

There were three teachers, though.

These three teachers are a tiger, a deer, and a sheep.

Gao Linzhi was speechless.

Is this Journey to the West?

These three teachers are indeed very knowledgeable.

They began to explain more advanced knowledge to Gao Linzhi and the other five.

Money makes the world go round.

The three of them treated Gao Linzhi very well.

They treated him like their own father.

After explaining some general knowledge, they kindly asked Gao Linzhi, "New student, what would you like to learn?"

Gao Linzhi said directly, "What I want to learn is very simple."

"It's knowledge for survival."

"How to fight against the supernatural, how to avoid the supernatural."

This is exactly what Gao Linzhi needs to know.

After all, with his current power, it's safe to say that even if a nuclear bomb were to come, he would be able to withstand it.

He could also escape underground in time.

But if it's something strange, well, that's another story.

"The weird thing, huh?"

"Hehe, it's actually not difficult if we want to avoid it."

Teacher Tiger said,

"We have a variety of methods."

"The simplest method is to use a substitute."

"To completely hide one's name, bloodline, and identity, to conceal oneself from this world."

"But if that's the case, then there's no point in living."

The method of using a substitute?

Gao Linzhi nodded.

He's using a substitute technique now.

It's just not complete.

I haven't hidden my true self yet.

"The second method is to use various treasures."

"This kind of treasure should be able to protect our vital energy and spirit."

"I remember there was a strange ability that could give birth to a treasure."

"Its name is Sacred Shield, and it can grant immunity to damage from low-level monsters,"

"It can be upgraded further; when it reaches the red tier, it can be immune to almost all kinds of strange damage."

"Of course, this thing is very expensive."

"And it's also very difficult to maintain."

"All you need to do is perform rituals for it regularly."

"Once you lose the sacrifices, you're finished."

Gao Linzhi.

Isn't this just an equivalent exchange?

He is quite familiar with this matter.

"Do you have any treasures like the Sacred Shield here?"

"Of course we have such treasures here, they're just quite valuable."

"Okay, I need to reserve one."

"Great, I'll write that down."
