"....Fat Cat, if I'm not mistaken, it should have been only eight days since I left home and returned to school, right?"
"This big fool lost fifty million in eight days and added a national bounty on top of that?"
Ansheng turned his head with a stunned look and asked Fat Cat, who was already scared out of its wits, to see if his memory was failing him.
Losing fifty million in eight days? Are you using Xia Country currency as kindling to warm yourself?
"It should be... but Master Fuli, there's something really weird about this!" Fat Cat looked at Feina, shivered, and hid behind a yoga ball, starting to complain.
A jellyfish, looking human-like, speaking human words.
This is way too scary for a cat, right? When the old butler delivered the fish tank, why didn't he mention this strange thing?
"I'm not a big fool, I'm very smart! Have you heard of the concept of human leverage in financial studies?"
Being openly scolded by Master Fuli, Feina, naturally proud and arrogant, couldn't bear such humiliation.
She immediately raised her jellyfish head, revealing the proud demeanor of a noble lady and said:
"I don't trade stocks or currency because I know the waters here are deep, so... as someone with no money in my pocket, I chose to earn money through 'human leverage'!"
"I bought slaves in Bharat, even the prettiest female slave costs tops 1.5 million rupees, 120,000 Xia currency, while over in Xiangjiang, the high salary there is 8,000 for a Filipino maid monthly."
Jellyfish Lady folded her two tentacles, glanced at Master Fuli and Panda, and said:
"I bought fifty female slaves, and each one earns me 8,000 Xia currency a month, 400,000 monthly. As long as human leverage is used well, getting rich is a breeze!"
"But... humans plan, heaven laughs; my container of female slaves was seized by Xiya Country, losing me thirty million."
"However, I want to make it clear, my presence in the casino wasn't for gambling, but for applying the mathematical model of the Martin strategy to make sure investments, got it?"
"It's the 'Martingale strategy', but your casinos here are a bit naughty, they set a limit on bets..."
Jellyfish Lady talked proudly, unveiling her whole money-making secret.
"So... where's the money you earned?" Ansheng's expression resembled looking at a big fool as he stared at Feina.
"It's up to heaven to make things happen; I was unlucky and lost." Jellyfish Lady said, with a breezy air.
".......I pretty much understand now why Clara the succubus ran over to Xia Dong, it must be because you, the big fool, filled in my address when putting down the receiving address..."
Ansheng stared at the Jellyfish Lady full of speechlessness: "Just with this losing streak, how did they agree to lend you two thousand?"
"Seven outs thirteen returns, wouldn't that work?" Jellyfish Lady looked at Master Fuli strangely, as if examining some unearthed relic, saying Master Fuli didn't know how to adapt.
"???"
Ansheng and Fat Cat felt choked, staring at the Jellyfish Lady with her arms folded.
High-interest loans plus payday loans, who would dare lend?
"Fat Cat, come over and have tea, don't bother with the big fool, lest her idiocy infects us..."
Ansheng's mouth opened, wanting to speak, but was at a loss for words, so he turned around, facing the Jellyfish Lady with his backside, scratching the ground with his paws as if to use imaginary cat litter to cover up excrement.
Previously, Ansheng didn't quite believe everything the old butler said, even with a certificate from the Imperial Capital psychiatric hospital in sight, he was still skeptical.
But now Ansheng fully believed.
Owing fifty million in eight days, this shouldn't be the Jellyfish Lady's limit, but a result of the old butler's desperate obstruction.
If the old butler weren't around, whether the Jellyfish Lady had the ability to take care of herself would be a question.
"What do you mean?"
"This is finance and mathematical models, all supported by theoretical data."
Seeing Master Fuli and Fat Cat turn and walk away, Jellyfish Lady was livid, stomping her jellyfish tendrils.
But Master Fuli and Fat Cat acted as if they hadn't heard, sitting at the tea table, each attending to their own business.
Master Fuli boiled water for tea, while Fat Cat took a photo of the Jellyfish Lady with his phone, uploading it to his social circle to showcase Jellyfish Lady's shocking, devilish performance.
"No wonder, online they say wealthy people don't fear their heirs squandering money on indulging, but fear their diligent endeavors." Fat Cat "meows" to Master Fuli in a sigh.
"Hush, don't speak, that Jellyfish is so broke she's about to go crazy, careful not to get entangled with her, let's just pretend she doesn't exist..."
Ansheng took a sip of tea and said: "Since there's no Spirit Beast in Qinling Mountain Range challenging I, let's finish our tea and head home to sleep!"
Chang'an City has Golden Leopard as its Guardian, there has never been any trouble, the only exception is the Qinling Mountain Range.
Now that the Qinling Mountain Range is peaceful, Ansheng plans to go home to accompany Ah Qing for a late-night snack.
"It's not entirely trouble-free, Sister Leopard said, Master Fuli once you return, give it a call, it wants to tell you something."
Fat Cat said mysteriously: "Do you know why the Xiqi Campus is built in this godforsaken place?"
"Specifically, I don't know, but from my understanding and gossip, it's actually related to the Qinling Panda Ecological Protection Base at the back mountain, there seems to be something hidden at the base's bottom."
"So, whenever the college is on vacation, as soon as I sneak out from the ecological base, Sister Leopard would flash over and deliver a fierce kick to my bottom."
"The thing Sister Leopard wants to say, I can tell from its tone, is probably related to the back mountain."
Fat Cat cautiously glanced around, the whole cat sidled close to Master Fuli, whispering in the softest tone.
The words were so soft Ansheng almost couldn't make out what Fat Cat was saying.
"Is it really that secretive that even the gatekeepers don't know what's inside."
Ansheng looked at Fat Cat with a skeptical gaze, how could a bear not know what's being guarded.
"Well, I don't know, Sister Leopard said my big mouth isn't tight enough, so it never told me. The only secret I know is that in the pointy building at our college, there's the most advanced electromagnetic gun."
Fat Cat shrugged, revealing the tower's secrets that once intrigued Master Fuli but had been unexplored.
That suspicious astronomical observing tower in the teaching building actually has no telescope, but inside there's an electromagnetic gun and several high-powered laser devices aimed at the back mountain, serving as the Xinxing Agricultural Science College's trump card.
A full-power blast could immediately make a Guardian Level Spirit Beast perish on the spot while trying to break into Xinxing Agricultural Science College.
Not to mention the high-energy lasers for support, sweeping through, infantry would instantly be torn apart.
"Our... school has such things?" Ansheng asked Fat Cat in amazement.
"Yes! But we can't talk recklessly, right? I'm only daring to say because Sister Leopard prepares to decrypt it for you. Speaking out of turn would mean being taken to military court..."
Fat Cat whispered these matters before returning to its position, feeling relaxed and meowing:
"Shall I call Sister Leopard for you? It and its partner might be working now."
"What are you two talking about, clue me in!" Jellyfish Lady bounced furiously next to the tea table.
But Master Fuli and Fat Cat continued speaking in "meow meow meow" language, completely ignoring the Jellyfish Lady.
Jellyfish Lady's face flushed with frustration.
Completely unable to understand why these two fools refused to believe she could make big money.
Her loss wasn't due to lack of skill or operation, but entirely bad luck.
If there were any more funds, she'd definitely recoup.
"Adults talking, children shouldn't interrupt; I'll sign you up for a rehab program at the gambling addiction center later."
