Once, I wanted to be a good person

Although the Jiang Family desired it, they were not willing to pay everything.

So, in the end, under Fang Ze's exorbitant demands, the Jiang Family agreed to three conditions.

The first condition was that the Jiang Family promised to pay a price to settle the matter of the Yang Transformation stage death, ensuring it wouldn't involve Fang Ze.

According to Fang Ze's observations of men, he could nearly confirm that this matter indeed caused the Jiang Family some pain, but it likely wasn't crippling.

Therefore, this emboldened him to set even higher terms for the subsequent conditions.

The second condition was that the Jiang Family would provide Fang Ze with compensation worth 2.5 billion Lini, which would be paid in precious metals.

The third condition was that the Jiang Family was to prepare 200 defensive artifacts for Fang Ze, including one Superior Grade defensive artifact and five high-grade defensive artifacts.

This set of preparations would have a total value of nearly 1-2 billion Lini.

Lastly, Fang Ze casually also claimed those 10 beautiful Different Race women for himself, considering them a bonus.

This caused the veins on the forehead of the Jiang Family Head to bulge once again.

Overall, Fang Ze's demands nearly touched the bottom line of the Jiang Family.

If demanded even a bit more, the Jiang Family would likely have abandoned the negotiations and turned to look for other Spirit Ascension Paths.

The Jiang Family's old ancestor, although on his death bed, was not in such an urgent condition that they had no room for maneuvering...

Therefore, they were not going to bet everything on a method that merely might succeed.

....

Thus, negotiations concluded. Fang Ze hung up the communication with a hum, under the icy gaze of that man.

Because there was quite a bit to prepare, the Jiang Family would gather everything Fang Ze needed within about a week and then hand them over to Fang Ze.

Only after Fang Ze had verified the goods would he provide the "Faith Ascension Path" to them.

However, that didn't prevent Fang Ze from tallying up the gains he had made during the Flower Morning Festival incident right now.

Firstly, there were the 69 "Qin 28" he had obtained from the Flower God's Clone.

According to the intelligence from Little Grass, about 90% of the proceeds from the seven major gangs over the years had been spent purchasing "Qin 28."

Therefore, this was now considered Fang Ze's most significant asset!

Based on market valuation, the total value was about 6.9 billion Lini.

Although the value of these 69 "Qin 28" was extremely high, since they were a strategic resource and practically unattainable, they were priceless in reality.

Moreover, as both Fang Ze's ascension (like yesterday, when he just used 5 stones) and Miaomiao's required "Qin 28," he thought it best not to use them unless necessary, preserving them as much as possible.

Besides "Qin 28," there were the 2.5 billion Lini worth of precious metals he had just extorted from the Jiang Family.

As the solid currency of this world, precious metals could almost be directly exchanged for money.

With this money, not only could Fang Ze clear the 1.6 million Lini he owed Bai Ling, but he also wouldn't have to worry about resources before his Yang Transformation stage.

As long as he had the corresponding cultivation technique, he could first learn it through "Credit World," then take out a loan with "High-interest Credit," and ascend rapidly without any obstacles!

Even more so, because this sum was substantial, Fang Ze could also use these resources to cultivate a group of his own confidants and elites from the Devil Sect.

One could say he really hit the jackpot.

Last were the 200 defensive artifacts and the 10 Different Race beauties provided by the Jiang Family.

Starting with the 10 Different Race beauties, Fang Ze had a clear intention.

He did not dare to use the Jiang Family's beauties, so he would directly hand them over to the Bai Family.

After all, the Bai Family was large and had places for such people.

And as they were both nobility, the Bai Family surely had means to guard against spies, so Fang Ze did not need to worry.

This could also be seen as repaying the favor he owed Lady Jin.

Regarding those 200 defensive artifacts,

Fang Ze planned to bring out one high-grade defensive artifact for Bai Ling (previously Bai Ling had stolen a defensive artifact from her father to give to Fang Ze).

The rest, he would keep for his own use!

In the three to four months since coming to this world, Fang Ze had realized that the people of this world were heavy on offense and light on defense!

Each one's attack power was frightening, but their defenses were notoriously weak.

This included Fang Ze himself.

So... the more life-preserving items he could carry, the better.

Chain Mail, you know? The kind that is made by stringing together 199 defensive artifacts, each worth over a billion, into a vest.

Having considered the gains of this period, Fang Ze did some quick calculations and was then surprised to discover that he had earned a total of ten billion Lini in resources from the Flower Morning Festival incident!

It was shocking!

Indeed, it's only with windfalls that one becomes rich!

Fang Ze felt that he had suddenly become wealthy!

And just as he was thinking this, suddenly, someone knocked on his bedroom door, "thump, thump, thump."

Hearing the knock, Fang Ze came to his senses.

He lowered his head to check his current state, ensuring there was nothing that could expose his "assets" or anything related to what he had just done. After that, he slowly spoke, "Come in."

The bedroom door was pushed open, and one of Fang Ze's two "bodyguards," with an embarrassed face, entered and said, "Director Fang, someone is looking for you."
