Chapter Thirteen: Diamonds and US Dollars

  The apartment where Qing Lang and others lived was originally a mess, but now it's like it's been looted. The whole house is full of useless things scattered all over the floor, and valuable items are almost gone. In fact, they proved to be a group of qualified burglars, who firmly implemented the basic principle of stealing everything.

  The big fool in his hand holding a pile of miscellaneous items, looked at the green wolf with a confused face. "Boss, what should we do now?"

  "Can only rely on Dragon Brother now, if that woman finds out about today's events, I'll be killed!" Qing Lang gazed at the crowd with a determined look.

  At this moment, a loud crash was heard, and the big door was suddenly kicked open. Several burly men with guns in their hands pointed at several people.

  The middle-aged Han man, after sizing up the house, frowned slightly, "Qing Lang, you're quite bold, even daring to move against Dragon Brother's brother. Where is that young man you kidnapped?"

  "Brother Tie, he was rescued by a master... " Qing Lang smiled wryly with a helpless expression.

  "Expert?" Old Iron's gaze turned icy as he looked at Qing Lang, "If a single hair on his head is harmed, I guarantee you'll all die in a very ugly way."

  "I'm really not lying, Iron Brother. Just look at my hands and you'll know. One is fractured and the other is swollen like a bun, all because of that person's casual squeeze." Qing Lang said, pitifully stretching out his two hands.

  Lao Tie strode forward with big steps, rolled up Qing Lang's sleeves and looked at the wounds on his hands, frowning.

  "What does he look like?" Old Iron asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know, he covered his face with a hood, revealing only his two eyes." Qing Lang shook his head.

  "This is indeed the work of a master from outside, ordinary people don't have such great strength." Old Iron looked at his wound and said, "Fortunately, he didn't grab your neck, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here."

  "I originally came to teach you a lesson, but looking at your current state, I suppose you've suffered enough. If I were to take action now, it would be taking advantage of your vulnerability. However, a minor punishment is unavoidable. You few, come with us and apologize to Dragon Brother yourselves!"

  "I am willing to take the blame." The old wolf nodded sincerely.

  "Brother Tie, can we let our big brother go to the hospital first and have his hand checked?" Little Liu spoke up timidly from the side.

  The old iron turned his head and took a look at him, then smiled and said, "This kid is not bad. Let's go, take him to our hospital."

  After finishing speaking, with a wave of his hand, a group of people got into several cars and drove away in the direction they had come from.

  "What's the deal with all this stuff?" Ye Feng stopped the car in a desolate area, got out, and opened the rear door. The full load of things in the car left Ye Feng speechless.

  "Boy, is there anything like a storage ring sold here?" Ye Feng reluctantly inserted his spiritual power into the virtual domain.

  "Yes, there is a space ring, but this thing is very expensive." Bo Yi gave a definite answer.

  "What am I supposed to do with all this stuff? It's not easy to get, and there's nowhere to put it. Can't just drive the car into school and pile everything in the dorm room, can I?" Ye Feng stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the full load of things.

  "The virtual domain has storage space, and items can be stored categorically. Domain values from 1 to 9 can store up to 10 categories of items, with no quantity limit, but they must be the same category. Domain values from 10 to 99 can store up to 20 categories of items, and so on. Because you previously exceeded a domain value of 1,000, you can have 40 storage spaces, storing an unlimited amount of 40 categories of first-class items." Boyi's words made Ye Feng extremely excited.

  "But there's one thing I need to tell you, if you use external items to occupy the storage space here, it will also occupy the storage space for purchasing items. For example, if external things occupy thirty-nine grids of the item bar, and you buy two more things here, then you can only put one thing in, and the other one you must carry with yourself, and cannot be placed in the space." Boy added.

  "In other words, this space I have is shared by both the outside and inside!" Ye Feng immediately understood what was going on after hearing this explanation.

  "That's right, so I personally suggest, things that are useless, just throw them away."

  "Alright then, doesn't seem like there's anything that can be exchanged for domain value." Ye Feng first put several unclear genuine or fake Qinghua porcelain into the space, then picked them out one by one.

  "Hmm, not a few watches, and the necklace is okay in terms of color...... what's inside this bag?" Ye Feng suddenly remembered that this small bag was placed on top of the box containing US dollars in the safe deposit box. When Da Sha took it out, he clearly saw their boss's face turn ugly.

  "What could be something valuable?" Ye Feng opened the bag a crack, and was surprised to find that the surface of each thing inside was flowing with a yellow glow.

  Ye Feng poured out the contents of the bag, scooped up a few handfuls, and gazed at the tiny, crystal-clear diamonds that were no larger than his little finger, each radiating a yellow glow. "Are these natural diamonds?"

  "There are actually over a dozen......" Ye Feng's face was filled with excitement, "Natural diamonds, single crystals composed of carbon elements under high temperature and pressure, things that take tens of billions of years to form. In such a long time, under those extreme conditions, it should have absorbed a lot of energy, no wonder the light on its surface has a flowing water-like feeling, round and thick. If it were as big as a jade pendant, I estimate the contained energy would be much greater!"

  Ye Feng couldn't wait to convert a diamond into domain value.

  "Second-order item, converted into a first-order domain value of seven hundred and sixty..."

  "This little thing can be converted into 760 yuan, and there are thirteen of them in total. If you work a bit harder, it's possible to reach 10,000 yuan. However, if you exchange all of them, you should get at least 9,000 yuan." Ye Feng seemed somewhat excited.

  "I suggest, you'd better not let the domain value exceed 10,000 for now. In fact, there are many good things below 10,000. Sometimes, a rapid increase in domain value is not necessarily a good thing. You don't fully understand virtual domains yet..." Boyi said this and stopped, seemingly having some reservations, and didn't speak again.

  Ye Feng stood there with a thoughtful expression and did not immediately convert the diamond into domain value.

  After a while, he put the bag with diamonds in the storage compartment. "Thanks, Boy."

  "You made me realize that human desire is boundless, the more one has, the more one wants. In fact, things worth over 10,000 yuan don't bring much benefit to me now, but only create greed. Moreover, many items under 10,000 yuan can serve as substitutes. I must learn to use less value to exchange for more valuable things." Ye Feng quickly understood what Bo Yi wanted to tell himself.

  Boyi just smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

  Ye Feng stored each item into his inventory one by one, then left behind an empty vehicle and departed with a flourish.

  "Brother Long......" Qing Lang looked at the man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, with a mixture of awe and reverence, his right hand still bandaged from the fight.

  "Are you Qing Lang?" Long Tian looked up and down at this guy who had taken Ye Feng away.

  "I am," Qing Lang nodded, not daring to look directly at Long Tian.

  "Old Iron said that Ye Feng was rescued by someone? And that person also made you look like this?" Long Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, but it made Qing Lang feel that his gaze was even sharper and more intimidating than before.

  "There's actually something else I haven't told you, that person not only turned me into this state, but also took away my savings of many years. In front of him, I was as helpless as an infant." Qing Lang let out a heavy sigh, "Dragon Brother, this time it's all my fault, if there's any blame to be had, punish me and that's enough, those few people were just following my orders, they're only accomplices."

  "You think I'll let you off just because you're trying to make me feel like you're being righteous?" Long Tian smiled and shook his head.

  "No, Dragon Brother, you can punish me however you want, but I have a request." Qing Lang looked at Long Tian with some expectation.

  "You said!" Long Tian fell silent for a moment before nodding his head.

  "Now I have nothing, and I can't even support them and the brothers below. I hope Dragon Brother can take them in. After today, I will withdraw from all gang disputes and become an ordinary person..." Qing Lang's words were quite helpless, indeed, he no longer had the financial resources to support a group of brothers.

  "How many people do you have?" Long Tian's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile.

  "If we call them out, there are almost a hundred people, but the core members are just us few..." Qing Lang looked at Long Ge with some embarrassment, this number is really not good to say out loud.

  "As far as I know, Zhen Zhu knows that if the truth about today's events comes out, none of you will survive. Do you really think you can walk away unscathed and live a normal life?" Long Ge's face wore a faint smile, "Don't be hypocritical, in fact, you're also thinking of surrendering to me..."

  "I heard you're quite good to your brothers under your command. There's not much rules here, only one: traitors die! Do you understand?" Long Tian patted Qing Lang's shoulder.

  "Thank you, Brother Long!" Qing Lang was stunned after hearing these words, he had never thought that Brother Long would be so easy to talk to. After coming back to his senses a bit, he turned his head to look at Xia Liu Zi and the others, "You few fools, aren't you going to thank Brother Long yet?"

  "Old Zhang, ask them to make a list for you and bring the more important things over here. The other side is no longer suitable for them to live."

  "Lao Zhao, take them to see the new house and let them choose!" Long Ge only instructed two sentences, then let Lao Zhao take them away...

  "Old Iron, what's your take on this matter?" After waiting until the figures of several people were no longer in sight, Dragon Brother finally turned his head and looked at Old Iron beside him...
