Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

When cultivators reach the third level, some will gain special awakening abilities, one of which is medical awakening.

Mei Jie belongs to the third-tier masters, but she is not diligent enough in her cultivation techniques and her methods are also problematic, which makes her strength relatively ordinary and far inferior to other third-tier masters.

Currently, Snake Brother's body is in a sudden condition, and his various reactions are clearly adverse effects caused by the reverse flow of Qi.

If this situation continues to worsen, his blood vessels will inevitably rupture due to the pressure, which is extremely dangerous.

Seeing this, Sister Mei panicked and quickly walked to Gao Jie's side, her tone full of flattery.

"Brother, we're all just trying to make a living in this world. Let's not escalate things. Let's try to stay peaceful; it'll benefit everyone. Snake may have a bad temper, but he's kind-hearted and righteous. Please, give me some face, okay?"

As she spoke, Sister Mei hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured Gao Jie a cup of tea herself, expressing her apology and sincerity in seeking reconciliation in this way.

From the moment Gao Jie stepped into this place, Sister Mei keenly sensed that this young man was different from others.

He exudes a unique aura, a kind of innate domineering presence that is impossible to ignore.

Gao Jie remained unmoved by Mei Jie's overtures, merely staring coldly at Snake Brother and asking indifferently.

"Brother Snake, what's your decision regarding the collaboration?"

There was no warmth in his tone; beneath the calm surface seemed to lie endless pressure.

"From today onwards, you'll obediently follow us. Your henchmen and territory belong to us. You'll just be a shareholder and enjoy life. Don't worry, the dividends I give you every month will definitely be more than double what you're earning now!"

Snake was panting heavily.

"Pah! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Gao Jie simply clicked on the system.

The next moment, Snake was already rolling around in pain, clutching his buttocks.

In an instant, he transformed into a jetpack warrior and no longer even had the strength to crawl.

Gao Jie stood up.

"I'll give you a day to think it over. If you've made up your mind, have Black Dragon call me."

"If you don't behave, I guarantee you'll suffer a terrible death."

Gao Jie left with his men, and Snake Brother spent the next half hour questioning his existence.

"Ah Mei!"

"Go make the call quickly, I accept his cooperation!"

Mei rolled her eyes. She had given him a way out, but he didn't know how to take it. Now look what happened, he's just asking for trouble.

Mei Jie took out her phone and called one of her henchmen, only to learn that Gao Jie and the others had actually returned to school.

"He's still in school, yet he has such great abilities. This kid must be exceptionally talented!"

"Let's go take a look and see."

At this moment, Gao Jie and A Niu were planning the next steps to reorganize the shops.

Having studied the scriptures on business, the most important thing now is to make money, because many expensive medicinal materials need to be purchased from legitimate channels.

Moreover, the techniques taught in schools are basically useless. The techniques taught before the age of fifteen are the most important, but unfortunately, that time has already been wasted.

If Gao Jie wants to break through to become a master in the short term, he must use drugs to achieve that breakthrough; otherwise, it will all remain just a dream.

Yang Long, however, was loudly bragging to everyone.

"Let me tell you, my dad gave me 100 million Alliance Coins to start a business. Do you know what that means?"

"It's the ceiling that your parents work so hard to reach, but still can't earn."

"I plan to use this 100 million to invest in a large company, which will earn me millions in dividends every year."

His face was beaming with pride.

Gao Jie found these words laughable.

An investment of 1 million can only yield a return of about 100,000.

If investing 100 million could yield a return of 300 million, who would still want to work?

Who would still be a beast of burden?

Ever since Yang Long was swindled out of 10,000 Alliance Coins, he has been thinking about revenge all the time.

A disdainful expression appeared on Gao Jie's face, instantly making him feel provoked.

He walked over, kicked Gao Jie's table, and sneered.

"I noticed you seemed a bit dismissive just now. Do you think what I said was wrong?"

"I'm fucking talking to you!"

Gao Jie stared at him coldly.

"I'll give you one chance to straighten my table."

Yang Long was surprised that Gao Jie would dare to speak to him like that. He grabbed Gao Jie by the collar and was about to attack him.

"Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"With my dad's power, if I hurt you, I'll just pay you a little money. I've got plenty of money. I want to beat you up today!"

This attitude was extremely arrogant, and Gao Jie wanted to see if he could teach this bastard a lesson.

Just as he was about to make a move, Sister Mei knocked on the door.

"Classmates, I need to find someone."

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Long turned around in disbelief.

"Aunt Mei, what brings you here?"

"Listen up, everyone. This is Aunt Mei, my father's important business partner. The famous Yile Tea Restaurant is Aunt Mei's business."

"30% of the tea in our city is sold through Aunt Mei!"

Yang Long proudly introduced Sister Mei, but she didn't even look at him.

Instead, he turned around and walked straight over. Although Yang Long didn't understand, he felt that following him was the right thing to do.

Mei Jie walked over to Gao Jie's side, and Yang Long quickly pulled over a chair for her.

Mei shook her head.

"Snake has thought that matter through."

Gao Jie sat down with his hands in his pockets and nodded.

"Understood."

Mei left a gift box behind and turned to leave.

All the students turned to look at Gao Jie. What was going on that made Sister Mei take action?

Yang Long was also somewhat surprised.

"You know Brother Snake?"

Gao Jie responded coldly.

"What's it to you?"

"Hurry up and straighten the table, or don't blame me for taking action."

Even his own father was very polite to Aunt Mei, so why did Gao Jie act as if he didn't take her seriously?

For a moment, Yang Long began to question the meaning of life.

Gao Jie wasn't idle either; he notified Heilong to take over Snake Brother's territory.

At the same time, he took Ah Niu to the training room, slowly calmed himself down, and prepared to practice.

The techniques taught at school were completely ineffective, but fortunately he had just spent a long time searching through the system.

I found a book called "Tonglei Shen Gong" (通肋神功), which is said to harmonize Yin and Yang, regulate Qi, and unblock meridians after mastering it.

Only by reaching this level can one truly qualify to practice the exercises.

Now, many people are unable to successfully break through to the second stage after leaving school.

This is closely related to the cultivation of techniques; it seems that breaking through to the second level is only an exclusive privilege of nobles.

Moreover, Gao Jie was well aware that what those powerful and influential figures needed was cheap labor, not an era where everyone was a master.

If they want to make a name for themselves, they must study and practice diligently.

There is no better shortcut than this.

The way Gao Jie and A Niu practiced kung fu was somewhat comical, looking a bit like monkeys stretching their bodies.

But in reality, only in this way can the body's muscles be stretched and the flow of qi and blood be improved.

Just then, Lei Yiming arrived after hearing the news.

He is about to break through to the second level. After all, his family is rich and powerful, so it is not difficult for him to get some medicinal herbs to practice.

He sneered.

"I told you long ago, poor bastards like you should be working instead of trying to learn martial arts!"
