One million in cash was a huge sum of money for ordinary people. Gao Zhengyang was in urgent need of money. One million could solve a lot of problems.
However, in Shi Yunxuan's conditions, whether it was the membership of the Five Lakes Society or the spirit jade, the value was far higher than one million in cash.
The Five Lakes Society did not have a high status in the Inner World and was often bullied by major organizations. However, the Five Lakes Society had a huge influence in the business world. The membership was also more stringent.
Under normal circumstances, the identity of a member of the Five Lakes Society was also very useful. Even the governor of Shangjiang, Li Jiang, had to treat them with respect.
Gao Zhengyang was just not in the mood to develop in this area. Not to mention the Five Lakes Society, even the top rentals in the Inner World were not worth his attention. That was why he did not care.
The value of the spirit jade was difficult to accurately estimate. For ordinary people, this was a small thing that could calm the mind and nourish the qi. It was good to wear it for a long time. The key was that this special enhancement effect could not be replaced by anything else. There were no side effects.
Just this alone made the value difficult to estimate. It would not be difficult to sell the Tranquil Jade Tablet for ten to twenty million if he met someone who knew the value and had money. The spirit jade that was bigger than the Tranquil Jade Tablet was undoubtedly more valuable.
It had to be said that Shi Yunxuan's conditions were very generous.
However, Gao Zhengyang did not agree easily. Shi Yunxuan was not his father or his son. Why was he so good to him?!
With such generous conditions, he would definitely be able to get a higher return. It was not only businessmen who thought so. This was the basic logic of all normal people.
Gao Zhengyang asked, "Why don't you tell me what it is first?"
Shi Yunxuan was a little surprised. Gao Zhengyang was very experienced. He did not look like a seventeen-year-old at all. He was not as ostentatious as he appeared.
He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter involves some of my personal secrets. Please don't tell anyone, Brother Gao."
Gao Zhengyang nodded but did not say anything.
Trust between people couldn't be exchanged with a few words. Shi Yunxuan was cunning. He would not just make a few promises. Gao Zhengyang did not say anything. If Shi Yunxuan believed him, he would say it. If not, he would not force him.
Gao Zhengyang's attitude was a little arrogant, but Shi Yunxuan could only accept it. He had no choice. He had looked for a few experts he knew, but none of them could solve the problem. The situation was unique, and Gao Zhengyang's ability seemed to be able to solve the problem.
Shi Yunxuan said, "It's like this. I contracted a mine in the Donglin district. The original coal mine there had been mining for decades. More than ten years ago, all the coal was dug clean. Something big happened in the coal mine, so it was sealed up. A few years ago, because of a certain matter, they opened up the coal mine again. Unexpectedly, I found some scattered blue jade … "
Of course, the blue jade was good stuff. Although the reserves did not seem to be much, it was worth a lot of effort.
When Shi Yunxuan received the news, he hurried over to personally investigate. He confirmed that there was indeed some blue jade in the depths of the coal mine. He was overjoyed and spent some effort to contract the abandoned mine.
One had to know that this coal mine had already been abandoned. But to ordinary people, they were just blue stones.
Most people would never be able to come into contact with the blue jade in their lifetime. It was even more impossible for them to know the value of the blue jade.
Shi Yunxuan also had all kinds of connections and resources, so he spent a very small price to contract the mine.
He thought that he had a big bargain, but in the subsequent mining, he fell into a nightmare.
The mining workers were killed one after another. In a few days, eight people died. Although Shi Yunxuan had connections, he could not suppress this kind of continuous death accident.
Shi Yunxuan was not only losing money, but the key was that there were no workers to work.
In order to solve the problem, Shi Yunxuan personally led people down.
In the depths of the coal mine, Shi Yunxuan was attacked. The other party was a few people dressed in old clothes who looked like evil spirits. Their bodies were as hard as iron, and their movements were as fast as the wind.
An ordinary pistol could only leave a shallow mark on the other party's body. There was almost no lethality.
Shi Yunxuan encountered it for the first time, and he suffered quite a bit. He almost did not come back. In a fit of rage, he invited a few experts over and brought along powerful firearms. He killed two of the other party, but the others ran away.
This abandoned coal mine had been mined for decades, and the underground tunnels were like a huge maze.
Shi Yunxuan led his people underground for more than ten days. During this period, they were ambushed many times by the other party, causing many casualties. They wanted to chase after the other party, but they could not find the other party's location.
Helpless, Shi Yunxuan could only give up the coal mine and temporarily seal it.
After meeting Gao Zhengyang, Shi Yunxuan felt that he seemed to be able to solve this problem.
The group of people under the coal mine was not really that powerful. It was just that their movements were secretive, like mice. If they could not defeat them, they would not know which hole to hide in.
If Gao Zhengyang could control people's consciousness, then as long as they caught one person, they would be able to find the other party's nest, kill them all, and completely eradicate future trouble.
Preliminary estimates showed that the blue jade reserves in the coal mine were worth billions. Getting rid of the future trouble would be a profit of billions. Of course, Shi Yunxuan was willing to invest.
Even if Gao Zhengyang could not solve the problem, he had to try.
After hearing Shi Yunxuan's words, Gao Zhengyang also felt that this matter could be done.
It was just that there were a few mutants causing trouble in the underground coal mine. They used the convenience of the terrain to come and go as they pleased. To Gao Zhengyang, this problem was too easy to solve.
Gao Zhengyang was very interested in the blue jade. He could go down to the mine and find a few more pieces. Secondly, he was also very interested in the mutants.
It was not that easy for a human to mutate. It was even more difficult for a human to use their flesh and blood to resist a gun. Generally speaking, only a B-class transcendent expert and above could do this.
Gao Zhengyang's muscles were now much stronger than ordinary people's. Small caliber pistols posed very little threat to him. However, in this universe, there was still a limit to one's flesh and blood.
Unless it was like before, where titanium alloy was implanted, it could surpass the limits of the human body and reach a completely inhuman level.
The reason why the Immortal King Kong was invincible back then was because his body was too strong. Even a direct hit from an anti-material sniper rifle would not be able to do anything to him.
Moreover, the increase in his body's strength was comprehensive. Gao Zhengyang's strength, reaction speed, and speed had all far exceeded the limits of a human.
When the Immortal King Kong was at his peak, his explosive speed could even exceed the speed of sound. One could only imagine how strong his body was.
Even if a nuclear bomb was dropped in an open area, Gao Zhengyang could escape the central area and find a place to hide before the nuclear bomb hit the ground.
Right now, titanium alloy had yet to appear. In this world, there was still no direct understanding of how strong a human body could be.
However, Gao Zhengyang knew that a strong body was the foundation of everything. There must be a reason why the mutants in the underground coal mine could resist a gun. If he could find the source, it might be useful to him.
He said, "I agree to this. I need to make some preparations first. We will set off in the middle of July. "
Gao Zhengyang was currently at an important stage of training his body and could not be interrupted. In another month, he would be able to refine the force into the depths of his bone marrow. He would truly reach the B-class standard.
Coupled with the Blood God Flag, he would at least have the ability to protect himself.
Although Shi Yunxuan was anxious to solve the problem, he did not mind waiting for a month or two. He agreed without hesitation.
Before leaving, he left five hundred thousand for Gao Zhengyang.
This was both trust and a deposit.
Gao Zhengyang gladly accepted. He was in urgent need of money and did not bother to be polite with Shi Yunxuan.
After Shi Yunxuan left, no one came to disturb Gao Zhengyang. His life also returned to normal.
Every day, he would wake up early to practice boxing and study the various energy laws of Blue Planet with Moon Breeze in the morning. At noon, he would go to the combat club to train and go home at ten o 'clock at night to rest.
With a simple and regular life, Gao Zhengyang's physical strength was improving every day and he lived a very fulfilling life.
At the same time, the upper echelons of Shangjiang were busy redistributing power. All the rich and powerful families and various forces were fighting and cooperating with each other.
In July, the new consul was in place. The power struggle of the upper echelons of Shangjiang finally came to an end.
This time, the local faction of Shangjiang had the advantage. Although the consul was sent by the Federation, he was a local of Shangjiang called Xu Shengchang. He was also a direct descendant of the Xu family of Shangjiang and Xu Chunqiu's younger brother.
As soon as Xu Changsheng arrived, the law enforcement officer, Liu Qingyuan, took the initiative to resign. Then, Xu Ming, who was in Jinling Prefecture, was transferred over and became the acting law enforcement officer.
This step was also very important to Xu Ming. Although he was also in charge of the police department in Jinling Prefecture, there were many people who came to visit him. In Shangjiang, he only needed to be responsible to the consul. He was also the real leader of the Shangjiang police force. This power was great.
The Xu family's status in Shangjiang also rose. For a time, the Xu family had an endless stream of visitors.
Not to mention Xu Xu, even Xu Xu, who was the youngest, became the target of everyone's friendship. Every day, there were countless people who invited her.
Gao Zhengyang did not pay attention to these things, and Xu Xu would not show off to him. It was all Tong Sheng's big mouth who told him.
"Master, you really have a good eye for choosing the class monitor!"
Tong Sheng said enviously, "As long as the consul doesn't make any big mistakes, he can be in office for twenty years. The Xu family is already amazing, after twenty years, tsk tsk, Shangjiang will have the surname Xu! "
"What does it have to do with me?" Gao Zhengyang did not think much of it.
Tong Sheng opened his mouth exaggeratedly. "How does it have nothing to do with you? You married the class monitor, so you're part of the Xu family. You can do whatever you want in Shangjiang, even if you like it, no one will dare to stop you! "
The more Tong Sheng said, the more excited he became. His oily face moved closer to Gao Zhengyang. "When the time comes, if my family is in trouble, I'll just take your name out and the other party will immediately kneel."
"I'm not interested in the Xu family. I only care about Xu Xu. "
Gao Zhengyang did not like the Xu family very much. They were considered elites, but they lacked wisdom and foresight. If they could not see how amazing he was, it must be because he had no foresight!
Look at Shi Yunxuan, although he is cunning, his foresight is good.
However, Tong Sheng found it difficult to understand Gao Zhengyang's thoughts. He tried to persuade him. "The Xu family is a big thigh, master, don't be arrogant, you must cling to it!"
Gao Zhengyang pursed his lips. "I'm the thigh!"
He paused for a while and said, "The Xu family is amazing now, I'm the one who should be the most grateful! But I'll keep a low profile, I won't say it … "
Tong Sheng was speechless. He thought to himself, 'Master, you're too pretentious! What does the Xu family's greatness have to do with you? '
Tong Sheng could only change the topic and say, "The school will post the college entrance examination results in the afternoon, the homeroom teacher asked us all to go! Master, let's not go … "
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "How can we not go for such an eye-catching event! We must go! "
