They laughed for a long time, both of them laughing until they were weak. They lay on the huge bed inside the Spirit Beast Carriage, the fatty hugging the box tightly.

One hundred Jade Coins can be exchanged for one Low-Grade Spirit Jade, and one million can only be exchanged for ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Jade. Ten Low-Grade Spirit Jade can be exchanged for one Mid-Grade Spirit Jade, and one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Jade can be exchanged for one High-Grade Spirit Jade. So, his one million Jade Coins can only be exchanged for one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Jade, or ten High-Grade Spirit Jade.

Thinking of the scene when he opened the video last time with just ten Mid-Grade Spirit Jade, Ren Jie felt a pang of heartache. Damn, how long can this support the whole family? Thinking of this, Ren Jie suddenly realized that it depended on what the one million Jade Coins were used for. If they were used to open the video in his sea of consciousness, it might not last long.

Although he felt terrified, thinking of the scene of the Saint discussing Dao, and the changes he had obtained because of it, Ren Jie knew that no matter what, he would spare no effort to find every possible way to open that video again.

After being happy, Ren Jie thought of opening the video in his sea of consciousness. This conversion made him feel heartache. It was too terrifying, ten million taels of gold. He wondered how long it would last after being exchanged for Spirit Jade.

But thinking about being able to see that video again, Ren Jie felt it was worth it no matter what.

Just think, he could easily remember hundreds of books, and easily learn formations, potions, and even cultivation methods below the Divine Power Realm. These were things that no amount of money could buy. If his major realm hadn't reached a certain level, no amount of money could have allowed him to read hundreds of books in a few days and still remember and understand them. It wouldn't have allowed him to learn a set of Battle Eight Directions Annihilation in one night.

But there was a more urgent matter to deal with right now. Just now, when Ren Jie looked at the deeds of the Chang Le Gambling House, he knew what tricks Fang Yan was playing, but he didn't expose him. Including the Middle-Grade Spirit Tool that Fang Tianen had someone bring over at the end, although he hadn't opened it yet, Ren Jie had already basically guessed what was going on.

"Celebration, we must celebrate properly. Boss Meal Ticket, where do you say we should go to celebrate now?" Gao Ren, who had just laughed until he was out of breath and exhausted, finally recovered. His fat belly didn't prevent him from getting up immediately. The first thing he thought about was what to eat to celebrate.

He had finally made a fortune, and he didn't have to look at the Elders' faces anymore. How could he not celebrate properly?

"Let's put the celebration aside for now," Ren Jie said, getting up and saying to the outside, "Beast Uncle, go to the Chang Le Gang."

"What are you going to do at the Chang Le Gang?" Gao Ren looked at Ren Jie in confusion.

"That bastard Fang Yan is playing tricks. What he gave us are just the deeds of the Chang Le Gambling House. Although the deeds of the Chang Le Gambling House are worth nearly a million Jade Coins, what really makes money for the Chang Le Gambling House isn't these. The people and customers of the Chang Le Gambling House are what really make money. This guy must have promised Chang Lao Si something when he bought it, such as helping him rebuild a new gambling house, a bigger one, so he bought the Chang Le Gambling House at a very low price and pushed everything to our side."

Ordinary people might not think of this, but Ren Jie, who grew up on Earth, didn't understand anything else, but he was very clear about the importance of talents and resources.

He might not have been so clear about this before, but since his major realm had improved, he had not only completely integrated the memories of his two lives, but also been able to better utilize all the information he had heard and learned from various channels in his previous life.

In his previous life, Earth was an era of knowledge explosion. The amount of knowledge he came into contact with in a single year exceeded that of ordinary people by hundreds or thousands of times. Of course, because the human brain is limited, very little can be remembered, but now Ren Jie can not only clearly remember everything, but also use it well.

The fatty Gao Ren was stunned as he listened. When did his Meal Ticket Boss even understand this? He was talking so mysteriously, as if it were true.

"Many things look simple, but it's very difficult to really have a mature team, resources, and customers. The Chang Le Gambling House has this foundation. It's too difficult to find experienced people to manage and operate twelve such large gambling houses at the same time. Without them, we would only get houses worth a million Jade Coins at most. Perhaps because we're not running the Chang Le Gambling House anymore, these houses would only be worth seven or eight hundred thousand Jade Coins. So we have to rush over there immediately, we can't let this golden goose that lays golden eggs become a dead chicken, a disposable broiler on the table," Ren Jie said, looking at the Fang Family's mansion that was gradually moving away. Fang Yan was so rushed at the time, the things he could do were extremely limited.

It was good that Fang Qi's matter was holding them back, so he had time to deal with Chang Lao Si. He wanted to draw firewood from under his cauldron, he was thinking too beautifully.

"What you're saying… seems… to make sense." Gao Ren was already confused. He didn't understand business very well, but because he had been afraid of being hungry and poor for a while, he now liked money and good food very much. Besides these, he liked to study potions the most. As for the others… after these two times, he now found that he also liked to come out with Ren Jie, because it was too enjoyable every time. He didn't know anything about business.

But even if he didn't understand, he felt that what Ren Jie said was quite plausible, very mysterious.

At the Fang Family, at Fang Qi's residence, the servants had already been evacuated.

Fang Qi herself had almost vomited everything out of her stomach. In the end, Fang Tianen ordered someone to personally seal Fang Qi's sense of smell to temporarily make things better. However, the stench on Fang Qi's body made the entire Fang Family and the surrounding area smell it. Although it wasn't as serious as Fang Qi's side, it was also stinky.

This caused a stir in Jade Capital City, and no one knew what had happened to the Fang Family.

"Chang Le Gambling House, a pharmacy, three silk shops, a manor, one million Jade Coins, a Middle-Grade Spirit Tool…" Fang Qi listened to the things Ren Jie had extorted from the Fang Family in order to save her, and her expression became more and more ugly.

What made her most angry was the stench on her body. Just thinking about it made her want to vomit again.

Damn Ren Jie, he did this on purpose, deliberately.

"Ren Jie, this poison was definitely administered by Ren Jie. Even if he didn't do it himself, it definitely has something to do with him," Fang Qi said with certainty. "I really didn't expect that Gao Fei's Iron Wood Bench didn't kill him, but instead made him enlightened and crazy. But that's good too. I used to be too lazy to bother with a fool, but don't worry, Father, I will get back everything the Fang Family has taken away a hundredfold."

"Hmph!" Fang Tianen also snorted angrily, "This is for sure. Even when Ren Tianxing was the Family Head, he didn't dare to be so arrogant and so bold as to extort my Fang Family. This revenge must be taken. Although those things are precious, it's good as long as you're okay. You must be careful in the future. This is the struggle of the Five Great Families. Maybe this Ren Jie is nothing, but after all, he has a huge Ren Family behind him. You almost killed him, maybe someone in the Ren Family is using this matter, using Ren Jie to make a fuss. Even if it's not Ren Jie this time, it could be other families."

"It's just a bargain for Ren Jie, that Hedonistic Young Master Puppet Family Head, Chang Le Gambling House…" Fang Qi also nodded. This near-death experience taught her a lot of things, and her mind was already turning quickly.

"Family Head, don't worry, Miss. Ren Jie thinks that with the deeds of the Chang Le Gambling House, he can own the golden goose that lays golden eggs, but he doesn't know that when I forced Chang Lao Si to hand over the Chang Le Gambling House, I reached an agreement with him that they would fully cooperate with our Fang Family in the future, and we would support them in rebuilding a new gambling house. They have people and resources, and they can open immediately as long as they have a new location, while what Ren Jie gets is just an empty shell. As for our Fang Family, we actually only spent 500,000 Jade Coins to buy those things, and this was only to avoid leaving a handle for others." Hearing Fang Qi mention the Chang Le Gambling House, a hint of joy flashed across Fang Yan's face. At least in the current situation of being helplessly coerced and extorted, being able to let Ren Jie suffer such a big loss was a way to vent his anger.

He hadn't had the time or opportunity to say it before, but now he immediately expressed his credit, "This can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Under the forced suppression, Chang Lao Si will completely cooperate with us. In the future, our Fang Family will own a large share, and when the Chang Le Gambling House is developed and expanded, the annual income will be at least more than two million Jade Coins."

"Fang Yan has put in a lot of effort this time, and has also suffered a lot of grievances from Ren Jie because of this matter. The Family Head and the family have remembered your efforts," Fang Tianen nodded slightly in praise when he heard this, and at the same time said, "That hateful Good-for-nothing Ren Jie, he really thinks there are such good things in the world, such easy things to take. He will soon know the consequences, how can the Profound Yin Sword be so easy to take."

Profound Yin Sword? When she heard about the Middle-Grade Spirit Tool just now, even Fang Qi felt a pang of heartache. She knew that even the Fang Family didn't have many Middle-Grade Spirit Tools. Now, when she heard about the Profound Yin Sword, a look of understanding and a smile appeared on her face. So that was the chicken rib. Even if Ren Jie himself wasn't injured by the Yin energy, it would be useless after taking it back.

"Fang Yan is a member of the Fang Family, and it was Miss who brought me up and cultivated me that I have what I have today. It is right for me to do these things. That Chang Lao Si is different from ordinary people. Although he is a Jianghu person, he is obsessed with gambling. What he values is not profit. It is precisely because of this that I offered him the offer that our Fang Family would support him in the future, not only to rebuild the Chang Le Gambling House, but also to make the Chang Le Gambling House the largest gambling house in Jade Capital City and even the Bright Jade Dynasty. That's why he was somewhat moved," Fang Yan felt very proud that he could do this in such a short period of time, and he also said it proudly.

Hearing this, Fang Qi's heart felt a little more comfortable. Fang Qi also said with satisfaction, "Yan-ge has worked hard. Ren Jie will have a day when he regrets it. You should keep a close eye on the Chang Le Gang, and don't let them have any changes. Chang Lao Si is a person who can be used. The Chang Le Gang has a very shallow foundation. The reason why it can become one of the top ten gangs in Jade Capital City is not only because Chang Lao Si's Chang Le Gambling House makes money, but also because Chang Lao Si himself is also a Divine Power Ninth Layer person. His personal strength alone is enough for many families to want to recruit him, but unfortunately he is not interested. Taking advantage of this cooperation with us, we can gradually make him work for us. A Divine Power Ninth Layer person is extremely important even to our Five Great Families. It's hateful, if it weren't for this reason now, I could personally go…"

Fang Qi originally wanted to personally discuss this matter, but now she was covered in stench, how dare she go out when she cherished her reputation.

Fang Tianen was also persuading her from the side, worried about Fang Qi, and told her to rest quickly and take care of her body.

Fang Yan also said that he would discuss this matter with Fang Tianen immediately and finalize it with Chang Lao Si as soon as possible.

A friendly recommendation for "League of Kings".
