Chapter 490 Robbing Money
Jude felt a chill creep up his spine and down his neck, like a venomous snake coiling around his respiratory tract. He suppressed the urge to cough, pulled a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket, and elegantly covered his lips.

"Cough cough—" He cleared his throat, neatly folded the handkerchief and put it back in his pocket, his fingers trembling slightly. The chilling aura within him grew stronger, as if countless tiny ice needles were coursing through his lungs.

Jude Kao calmly adjusted his breathing, gripped his cane tightly in his right hand until his knuckles turned white, and put on that old-fashioned gentlemanly composure smile again, only the fear in his eyes betrayed him.

“Mr. Gao,” his voice became calm, yet carried a hint of compromise, “I think we need to have a serious talk… about your price.”

Gao Dongxu revealed a victor's smile and looked at Jude Kao, saying with a smile, "A smart choice, because, apart from me, no one else in this world would be willing to sell this information."

"That's why it's expensive, right!" Jude Kao's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, trying to catch any subtle changes in Gao Dongxu's expression.

“That’s right, it’s expensive, but it’s great value for money, which perfectly matches the consumption philosophy of a billionaire like you, Mr. Jude Kao,” Gao Dongxu said with a smirk.

Jude Kao's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Or rather, you designed this paid service specifically for me."

The cunning and shrewd Qiu Dekao probably understood why Gao Dongxu said that Wu Sansheng was trying to trick him.

"No, no, it's not just a paid service specifically for you; it's designed specifically for people like you," Gao Dongxu said with a half-smile.

"People like us?" A glint of light flashed in Jude Kao's cloudy eyes as he continued to probe, trying to analyze from the other person's words how much the other person actually knew.

“That’s right, you’re the kind of people who’re looking for immortality in the tombs of the dead,” Gao Dongxu said jokingly, then burst into laughter as if he had thought of something incredibly funny.

"Hahaha..."

Jude Kao didn't laugh; instead, his old face was filled with solemnity, his eyes becoming deep and bright. He said to the two people beside him, "You two go downstairs and wait for me—"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ah Ning's brother and the woman immediately turned and walked towards the stairwell.

After Gao Dongxu finished mocking him, Jude Kao spoke up, "Was it that funny?"

"Isn't it funny?" Gao Dongxu slowly stopped laughing, and looked at Jude Kao, whose face was a little pale, before continuing, "If one could live forever, would there still be tombs?"

The words were very straightforward, which made Jude Kao pause for a moment, then shake his head slightly, a strange smile appearing on his wrinkled face.

He spent his entire life searching for this secret. After deciphering the secret of the Queen Mother of the West from the Warring States silk manuscript, he persisted in his relentless pursuit of the secret of immortality in the tombs of the dead.

His behavior was utterly ridiculous in Gao Dongxu's eyes.

He didn't care about this, because he himself was a witness to and beneficiary of immortality. Although the side effects were significant, at least he had lived to this day, while most of his contemporaries had long since gone to meet God.

Jude Kao believes that although those predecessors who pursued immortality died, it was only because they had not yet succeeded in their research. However, they had research materials. As long as he finds these materials and pieces together all the clues, he can find the formula for immortality.

“Mr. Gao, you’re too young,” he said in a hoarse voice. “Some things don’t exist just because you haven’t seen them.”

"Heh, is that so? Just like you, you ate the Corpse Beetle Pill. Even if you're still alive now, so what? You'll still turn into a blood corpse." Gao Dongxu sneered mockingly.

"Cough cough. So you knew all along." Jude Kao stared intently at Gao Dongxu, his eyes burning, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and cough.

Gao Dongxu shrugged, lit a cigarette, and said calmly, "If you don't even know this much, how dare I ask for ten million US dollars per question?"

“Your price is too high, I can’t afford it…” Jude Kao said, shaking his head.

Gao Dongxu chuckled and shook his head, slowly puffing on his cigarette. "Mr. Jude Kao, you should know better than me that some things are priceless." He paused, "Like time. What you lack most right now isn't money, but time."

The information I provide can buy you a lot of time and prevent you from blindly searching around.

Money is just an external thing to you; when you die, you can't take a single dollar with you, can you?

These words pierced Jude Kao's heart like a sharp sword. He could feel the chilling energy within him consuming his dwindling life force, and Gao Dongxu clearly knew this.

"You're saying I'll eventually become a blood corpse?!" Jude Kao's face was grim, his eyes filled with fear, and his voice trembled as if squeezed from an ice cellar.

"This is considered free information. Women who eat the Corpse Beetle Pill will turn into a kind of long-haired, ferocious-looking Forbidden Woman, while men will turn into Blood Corpses or Sea Monkeys," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"..."

Jude Kao's breathing became heavy, a distorted face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly coughed violently.

"Is there any way to completely eliminate the zombie outbreak?"

Upon hearing this question, Gao Dongxu chuckled. As expected of a cunning old fox, he didn't ask how to suppress it, but directly asked for a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.

Unfortunately, even the most cunning fox can't outsmart a good hunter!

Gao Dongxu intended to take advantage of this opportunity to catch this old man, Bi Deng, and bleed him dry of the wealth he had accumulated over the years by reselling Chinese cultural relics.

It would be very difficult to completely drain Jude Kao; this old fox would never gamble everything.

“Pay up,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile. “There are two solutions to this problem, so it’s twenty million US dollars.” “Too expensive. Take it or leave it, thirty million US dollars, and you answer five of my questions.” Jude Kao shook his head and refused, then began to bargain.

"Then I'm sorry, goodbye, don't bother seeing me off—" Gao Dongxu naturally wouldn't indulge him, and smiled calmly.

"you--"

Seeing that Gao Dongxu was not willing to compromise, Jude Kao said helplessly, "If there are two solutions to one problem, then it can only be charged as one problem."

"Okay, I'm just too easygoing and trustworthy. Here's the money—" Gao Dongxu didn't want to miss the chance to fleece Qiu Dekao.

Jude Kao also reluctantly took out his phone and called his bank's customer service manager.

"Transfer fifty million US dollars into this account..."

Upon hearing the news of fifty million US dollars, Gao Dongxu's face lit up with an incredibly happy and radiant smile. At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at how much wealth Jude Kao, that old man, had accumulated over the decades.

Five minutes later, Gao Dongxu received a confirmation call from the UBS customer service manager. After hanging up, Gao Dongxu looked at Jude Kao, who seemed to have transformed into a walking US dollar bill, and said...

"The first way to completely solve the zombie outbreak is to find the bronze door, go inside, and not only will you solve the zombie outbreak, but you will also gain immortality..."

Upon hearing this, Jude Kao's eyes brightened, his breathing became rapid, and his lips moved a few times before he finally refrained from asking further questions.

Gao Dongxu deliberately paused, but the other party didn't ask any further questions out of excitement, thus avoiding being swindled out of ten million. This made him sigh helplessly.

That old man Biden is truly cunning and treacherous.

"The second method is to make a jade figurine from meteorite. Wearing it will allow one to be resurrected and live forever after three thousand years."

“Bronze gate, meteorite jade, jade figurines…” Jude Kao murmured repeatedly, his whole being filled with immense excitement.

"Where is the bronze door?" Jude Kao asked Gao Dongxu with fervent eyes.

"The second question..." Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

“Okay.” Jude Kao nodded eagerly.

"The Bronze Gate is in the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top." Gao Dongxu smiled faintly, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. He had set a trap for Jude Kao this time so that Jude Kao would go to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top and be completely destroyed there, so that A Ning could be freed from her shackles and become his woman and a powerful helper.

Jude Kao, that old Biden, has lived too long and done too many insidious and immoral things. After all these years, it's time for him to die.

"The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds?!" Jude Kao's eyes lit up, then he looked intently at Gao Dongxu and asked eagerly, "The jade figurines, where are the jade figurines?"

“The third question,” Gao Dongxu said, holding up three fingers with a hint of mockery and cunning in his eyes.

"it is good--"

"The jade figurine is in my hands."

"Huh?!" Jude Kao stood up abruptly in shock, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Gao Dongxu. His expression shifted before he finally asked, "For sale?"

“Of course I’ll sell it, $100 billion,” Gao Dongxu said without the slightest hesitation.

Jude Kao's lips twitched, veins throbbed on his pale forehead, and he said in a trembling voice, "Can I take a look?"

"I'm sorry, I can't." Gao Dongxu refused directly, "The item is too precious to be displayed."

"Are you sure that's the jade figurine that the Queen Mother of the West gave to King Mu of Zhou?!" Jude Kao pressed for confirmation.

“Of course, 100% sure,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

“One hundred billion dollars, no one can afford it…” Jude Kao said helplessly to Gao Dongxu.

"If it can't be sold, so be it. I'll keep it for myself to admire." Gao Dongxu looked at Qiu Dekao with a playful smile and said.

"Mr. Jude Kao, you have one last question left, so please ask it carefully—"

Jude Kao fell silent again, and for a moment, the room became completely quiet.

"Is there any way to slow down my transformation into a zombie?"

"One last question," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Can--"

"To suppress the zombie transformation, you need meteorite copper to be implanted into the body to suppress the corpse beetle poison and slow down the transformation process." Gao Dongxu looked at the astonishment on Qiu Dekao's old face and continued to laugh, "You've run out of money. If you want to keep asking questions, then you'll have to top up your account."
