(P.S.: Starting from this chapter, the novel enters its third volume: "Dominating the World".)
"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own."
Lin Dong didn't know who was the first person to say those words.
But this guy is a fucking genius!
Lin Dong felt that the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) did not refer to a specific place, nor was it a virtual world created by a martial arts novelist.
Its existence is actually very simple: because there are people, there is a world of its own.
The so-called "jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world or a world of martial arts and chivalry) is nothing more than a way to make the struggle between people sound more exciting and romantic...
In Lin Dong's mind, the word "world" is too elegant; it is merely a vague definition of the living space that foolish human beings have for themselves.
The world is a world, and a person's life is confined to one realm.
So if there are no people, what is the world?
The so-called Blue Star world beneath his feet was, strictly speaking, also a martial arts world, a martial arts world slightly larger than that of Nandu, Myanmar, and Hong Kong Island...
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
December has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the time for the 1997 handover is getting closer and closer.
The current situation in Hong Kong and Macau is largely settled.
The tumultuous history of Hong Kong over the past century has been dramatically altered since the emergence of Lin Dong, the reborn butterfly...
Lin Dong has only been reborn for a short year.
He rose from obscurity to become a powerful figure in the underworld.
With the power he wields today, and his immense wealth that rivals that of a nation, he is more than capable of standing at the very top of the martial arts world.
However, the inherent weakness of humanity is that no matter how abundant the Earth's resources are, those who occupy the top positions will always be a very small minority.
They never easily allow others to touch their vested interests.
Anyone who tries to snatch it will have their hand cut off.
Of course, with Lin Dong's current strength, he is not afraid of anyone's knife.
In his eyes, everything except a few people and things that could threaten his life was insignificant.
Once a person stands on the summit, looking down at all living beings, they appear as insignificant as ants; few can understand this experience.
Of course, the vast majority of people don't have the opportunity to understand.
After all, this world is very realistic; 99.9% of people will never reach the top of that beautiful scenery in their lifetime.
This is the world of people, and of course, it's also the life of most people.
...............................................
After the Black Gold System was upgraded to the advanced level, there was no further activity.
If the system hadn't explicitly told him that there was another tier after the higher tier, Lin Dong would have already assumed that the current higher tier was the limit of the Black Gold System.
The wealth value in Lin Dong's Black Gold System is increasing every second, and now the amount has become so large that it has become a string of numbers.
Because there are just too many!
Even if he were willing to spend this money, and spent it relentlessly, he couldn't stop the continuous flow of more illicit funds being converted into it.
In addition, his reputation in the martial arts world has also accumulated to nearly 20,000 points.
Unfortunately, there's still no clue as to how to upgrade the system.
What exactly is this final stage of the Black Gold System?
What are the final conditions for its upgrade?
Lin Dong didn't know, nor did he think about it in detail, because he firmly believed in one principle:
When fate is meant to bring something, it will surely come.
...............................................
December 25, 1996.
Today is a very special day.
A year ago, on Christmas Day, Lin Dong was reborn from the shocking robbery that happened on that day.
Forty-six years ago, a group of warriors with iron wills braved the freezing cold of a foreign land, staining the 38th parallel with their blood and victory...
Today, a light drizzle with frost-like patterns fell from the sky over the southern part of China.
It's very cold.
So much so that Ling Qianyi, who had just followed Lin Dong down the plane steps, couldn't help but shiver.
This place in Nandu hasn't been this cold in decades.
On his return to Southern Metropolis, Lin Dong used his private jet, an Airbus A280, for the first time.
This luxury Airbus aircraft has been idle at Kai Tak Airport on Hong Kong Island ever since it was purchased at a charity auction.
In the past few months, the cost of aircraft parking, maintenance, and maintaining the flight crew alone has exceeded HK$4 million.
Of course, this small amount of money is nothing to Lin Dong right now...
The flight route from Hong Kong Island to Nandu was specifically applied for by Ling Qianyi through the National Security Bureau, and he personally arranged the details, so there is no need to worry about security.
The passenger plane spends about an hour in the air.
There were very few external dangers; the only thing that worried Lin Dong was:
If one day, a passenger plane is flying in foreign airspace, and the enemy dares to use powerful weapons such as surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles, how should he respond?
No matter how powerful he is, he is not invincible at present, and some high-yield firearms can still kill him.
Especially in a place like high altitude where there is absolutely no support, if the passenger plane is hit by a missile and explodes, the chances of survival are slim.
