Chapter 1160: The Big Money-Making Plan
Chapter 1160: The Big Money-Making Plan
Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Zhang He rolled his eyes. "Then go ahead, find a bank, sneak into their vault, and just grab whatever you like!"
Ling Feng chuckled, knowing this was just frustration talking. So he replied seriously, "Alright, stop joking around. I’m genuinely asking if you have any suggestions."
"There are a few industries in the world that are insanely lucrative, but it seems none of them meet your demand!" Zhang He said helplessly.
Ling Feng laughed. "Come on, spill it!"
Zhang He: "One is gambling, high-stakes gambling. But real high rollers aren’t fools. Trying to scoop all their money won’t be easy!"
"Hmm, I get it. What else?" Ling Feng asked.
"Then there’s the one you dabbled in before—arms dealing. For you, that’s a no-investment trade, but finding buyers is the issue!" Zhang He said.
"Yep, you’re right. Getting the goods is easy, but you need someone willing to buy them at a high price!"
Ling Feng nodded and continued asking, "Anything else?"
Zhang He glanced at him. "I wouldn’t recommend either of these. But don’t you have some history with The Holy See in Europe? Why not target them?"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked, "Got any good ideas?"
"The Holy See’s assets are worth over a trillion. Their funds are managed by specialized banks. You could look into where their vaults are; once you’re in, you’ll definitely not regret it!" Zhang He chuckled devilishly.
"Now that’s a good idea!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng’s eyes lit up. He thought to himself: I even have a spy over there; maybe this could actually work!
So he patted Zhang He on the shoulder. "Thanks, man. I’m heading home; I might need to take a few days off soon!"
"You’re really going to Europe?" Zhang He stood up and asked.
"Not yet—I still need to think it over. I’ll let you know when I decide!" Ling Feng replied.
Zhang He gave a casual "Oh" and said, "Go discuss it with your lady friends when you get back. Don’t act recklessly. You’re representing Huaxia once you go abroad!"
"Got it, don’t worry, Chief!"
Ling Feng laughed, turned around, and left Longyuan.
He then drove back to Shiliu Village and directly teleported into the Nine Heavens.
He handed the Spirit of Vegetation to Wang Wan’er. When she learned of its uses, the girl was so overjoyed she nearly jumped up and down with excitement.
After that, Ling Feng found Li Shiyun on the First Layer and told her about his plans to go out and make some money.
After hearing him out, Li Shiyun smiled and said, "I don’t go out much anymore, and I’m not interested in what’s happening outside. You really don’t need to tell me."
"No, that’s not okay. At least you should know my whereabouts, right?" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
As the two chatted, Zhou Yi walked in from outside. When he saw Ling Feng, he approached and asked, "You seem free today, huh?"
"Not at all! I’m actually stressed out!"
Ling Feng laughed and repeated his situation about needing to come up with a lot of money. He also shared Zhang He’s suggestion.
After listening, Zhou Yi shook his head. "To be honest, you’d be better off hitting up a casino on Ao Island."
"Why’s that?" Ling Feng asked.
"You don’t have to worry about gamblers refusing to play against you. That’s just because you don’t know how casinos work. There’s something called a championship—a tournament where competitors play round after round. The ultimate winner can walk away with a jackpot of several hundred million US Dollars. A competition like that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?" Zhou Yi explained.
"Wow, I didn’t know they had this kind of thing!" Ling Feng said excitedly.
"Just look it up online, and you’ll find out!"
Zhou Yi shrugged and walked away.
Ling Feng quickly called after him, "Hey, what’s the rush? Why not come with me to Ao Island?"
"I don’t have time. I’ve been super busy lately. If you need someone to go with you, why not take Sister Ling Long?"
Zhou Yi kept walking without looking back as he spoke.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng froze. Only then did he recall Yu Linglong, realizing there was still an unfulfilled agreement between them. It had been a few days, so by now, she should be free.
Thinking of this, a sudden warmth stirred in Ling Feng’s heart!
Then he noticed Li Shiyun watching him with a teasing smile. Scratching his head awkwardly, he laughed, "Hehe, I’ll go look up championships online now!"
"Go on, and you should bring Sister Ling Long along!" Li Shiyun said with a smile.
"..."
Ling Feng rushed out in a hurry, wondering why everyone suddenly started mentioning Yu Linglong. Could they have planned something together?
Heading to the Second Layer Heaven, he found her at her stone hut and directly said, "If you’re free, want to go out with me?"
"Sure!"
Yu Linglong didn’t even ask where they were going and stood up right away.
The two returned home. As Ling Feng began searching online, Yu Linglong curiously sat beside him. "What are you doing?"
"Looking up how to join tournaments and win prize money!" Ling Feng replied.
"Oh."
Yu Linglong didn’t ask much and quietly sat there watching.
After a while, Ling Feng finished his search and already had a plan in mind. He turned to her and said, "This time, we’re heading south!"
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead." Yu Linglong nodded.
Looking at her calm and graceful face, Ling Feng smiled. "It’s about time I took you out. I bet you’re not too familiar with our world yet, huh?"
Yu Linglong chuckled. "You’re mistaken. I’ve already been to many countries before!"
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless for a moment, then changed the topic. "Let me make a quick call!"
"Alright."
Ling Feng called Zheng Yitong, thinking she’d be busy, but she picked up immediately.
Her voice sounded pleasantly surprised as she laughed, "Mr. Ling, you’re calling me?"
"Yes, I wanted to ask for some advice."
Ling Feng nodded before continuing. "I plan to head to Ao Island to participate in the upcoming poker championship, but I’m not sure how to get there. Can I go directly from Harbor Island?"
"You can! I can have the company’s boat take you across. If you don’t want to use credentials, that’s no problem either!" Zheng Yitong replied without hesitation.
"Alright, I’ll reach Harbor Island today. Let’s touch base then!" Ling Feng said.
"Got it! I’ll cancel all my plans right away!" Zheng Yitong said excitedly.
"Uh..."
Before Ling Feng could mention it wasn’t necessary, the call had already ended!
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he couldn’t figure out why Zheng Yitong was being so enthusiastic. Turning to Yu Linglong, he said, "Let’s head back to the Nine Heavens, inform everyone, and then we can leave!"
"Okay, I also need to pack. I can’t just head out like this." Yu Linglong looked down at her white dress and said softly.
...
...
Two hours later, it was midday. Ling Feng and Yu Linglong had teleported to arrive at a luxurious mansion halfway up a hill.
The property was already bought and belonged to Ling Feng. It was meticulously maintained by staff daily, so it was clean and immaculate, even when unoccupied.
Afterward, the two went next door to Zheng Yitong’s home, where Aunt Xue had already prepared a lavish lunch spread.
