Chapter 590 There is God (Three more updates please subscribe)

At 2: p.m. the next day, Earth time, after having lunch, Shi Yan, the Immortal Sword Master, and Zhang Jie, the Acala Master, took a short break and then rushed to the third martial arts competition hall of the Martial Arts Palace.

The semi-final match between Mingde University and Tianjing Wuda University was held this afternoon at the Third Martial Arts Competition Hall.

And their Future University of Science and Technology had already defeated Xinghai University from the third base city in the morning and entered the finals.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jie couldn't help but admire Shi Yan's luck.

According to the information he had, the 'Tianjian Colonization Company' behind Future University of Science and Technology and the 'Abyss Biological Group' behind Tianjing University of War had been engaged in a fierce battle over the competition schedule.

They all don't want to clash with Mingde University too early, and are using various methods to manipulate and influence the schedule.

In the end, the Martial Arts Association stepped in to mediate and had students from various universities draw lots to resolve the issue.

Shi Yan was the one who would be responsible for drawing lots for their future university of science and technology, so they avoided Lin Rui's competition area and would not meet until the finals.

"Lin Rui's odds are very low, super low!"

Before entering the arena, Zhang Jie took one last look at Lin Rui's odds: "Lin Rui's odds are 1 to 1.3, and Lin Chengwu's odds are 1 to 3.2. There are actually people betting that Lin Chengwu might not even meet Lin Rui. This contradicts the trend on the internet."

Now the media and major martial arts review programs are all singing Lin Rui's praises, saying that Lin Chengwu is not only a hall of famer, but also a senior in college, with deeper accumulation and top-notch resources.

In addition, according to rumors, Lin Chengwu may have entered the sixth realm!

"Who wouldn't be able to talk big after being paid? Anyway, the only consequence is a few scoldings, but these gambling companies have to pay out real money. Everyone can see Lin Chengwu's martial arts level, but Lin Rui's martial arts level is truly unfathomable. Judging from the videos he posted, it's simply unfathomable."

Shi Yan sneered and walked to one of the gambling windows to place a bet.

She was a crazy person. She invested all her property of 22 billion federal coins and 17 billion federal coins borrowed at low interest rates into the transaction. The window staff was so frightened that they quickly invited Shi Yan to the VIP room.

In fact, the odds of underground gambling are higher, but now few people dare to place such a large bet in underground gambling, for fear that some big boss will overturn the table.

Recently, jokes about Kou Xuanwang, commander of the federal government headquarters base garrison, have been circulating. They are very detailed and everyone has begun to regard underground gambling as a disaster.

Zhang Jie doesn't have as much money as Shi Yan. Even with all his assets plus some low-interest loans, he still has more than 11 billion.

He thought the money was a sure win.

In fact, those who truly understand it can realize how terrifying Lin Rui's martial arts talent is.

Zhang Jie watched that guy's video and found at least 97 low, medium and high-level martial arts that had reached the master and grandmaster levels!

So what is his current level of martial arts, which he majored in?
And since Lin Rui is so rich, his colonization ability must be top-notch! 5SSS and 5SSS+ are both possible.

It is estimated that the plan of Abyss and Tianjian is to defeat Lin Rui. If not, they can only hold on for a few thousand moves and not lose too badly.

When the two finished placing bets and walked into the venue, they found that the semi-final had already begun.

The entire venue was packed with people. The 12 VIP seats and 113 million ordinary seats in the core area of ​​the Third Martial Arts Competition Hall were all filled.

The roars of more than one million people merged into an extremely powerful wave of sound. If you didn’t wear earmuffs, your eardrums would be shattered.

As participating team members, Shi Yan and her team have their own dedicated seats.

The two had just sat down when other contestants from Future University of Science and Technology arrived one after another, including the captain of Future University of Science and Technology, Ji Tiantao.

"Is that Wang Sen on the stage?"

Shi Yan watched the battle on the ring with a strange look in her eyes: "It's been less than a year, and this guy's strength has reached this level. He has even entered the fifth realm! I never thought that this little fat boy has so much potential." The key is that this person's martial arts are also very good. His high-level martial arts "Cold Blood Palm" has reached the level of a master, and he has fought back and forth with his opponent from Tianjing Martial Arts University.

In this tournament, Wang Sen has begun to rotate with Lu Fang, Nalan Wei, Fang Ranran and others, taking turns to serve as vanguard, second striker and backbone, so that the Mingde University Martial Arts Team can always maintain full combat effectiveness in high-frequency competitions.

And Fang Ranran is also very powerful.

This woman has not yet revealed her full strength.

There is a reason why bookmakers offer odds on whether Tianjing Wudao can win the main battle.

Zhang Jie's face was also very heavy. Wang Sen's martial arts were quite strong against his, so it would be troublesome to fight him.

At this time in the contestant area, Lin Rui was watching the game while listening to Fang Ranran explaining Lin Rui's business philosophy to Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi.

"There's no problem with Lin Rui not collecting rent for these farms. Firstly, he didn't spend any money to acquire them, so there's no cost. Secondly, the operating costs are also low—"

Fang Ranran relied on the fact that she had a Ninth Realm Super Emperor artifact in her hand that could block the spiritual consciousness of the surrounding people, so she spoke very freely.

"I've done a thorough investigation. The current land tax near Luojing is 30% tax, and with all the donations, it basically reaches 60% tax. Those landlords don't have to pay so much tax, and their tax rate is generally around 40%. But in reality, they only receive 65% of the rent and taxes at most."

"If the rent exceeds 65%, the tenants will flee. Tianjixing has so much land and abundant resources that they would rather hide in the mountains than be exploited by the landlords. As a result, many landlords have to use force to capture and suppress the fleeing people."

"—But this would make these tenants little more than slaves, with appallingly low productivity and a high risk of demonic transformation. Therefore, these powerful landlords would need to invest heavily in maintaining a large military force and resort to every possible means to conceal their land to avoid taxes, otherwise they would lose money. In fact, most of the medicinal fields operated by the Pharmaceutical Alliance are barely profitable, relying primarily on raw material trade and pharmaceutical processing with the Earth Federation for their profits."

In order to ensure the safety of the medicinal fields and avoid being reported by the surrounding landlords, these pharmaceutical company alliances are very conservative in their business practices and dare not overstep the line. However, Lin Rui is not afraid at all.

"So the 20% to 30% rent that Lin Rui waived can be fully earned back by improving production efficiency and productivity. Even a 10% increase in the yield of these medicinal fields can bring him astonishing profits. The medicinal herbs from Tianji Star can be sold to the Earth Federation for more than three times the price. And according to our calculations, these farms can increase their production by at least 80% just by replacing the seeds with better ones."

"Also, Lin Rui's manor is huge, with fields stretching across the vast expanse. His tenants all live inside Lin Rui's manor, with few opportunities to go out, and no one else can come in. This means his tenants can only buy daily necessities from Lin Rui. He can easily make a profit from selling goods. Things like 'value-added tax' often make the people feel less pain, and the chance of demonic transformation is correspondingly reduced—"

"Value-added tax?" Ji Xueying checked the value-added tax, and understanding gradually appeared in her eyes.

She had heard that Lin Rui didn't charge rent for his 50-hectare farmland, and even offered to provide him with good seeds, animal power, farm tools, and so on. Wouldn't that mean he'd lose a lot of money? So there was actually a trick to this.

Lin Rui laughed when he heard this. In fact, running a farm was very profitable. There were many ways to exploit the tenants, which could completely make them feel no pain.

At this moment, he heard Fei Yunlai sighing, "This little fat boy has made it big. It's worth all my training. Speaking of which, the one I admire most in the martial arts club is Wang Sen. He is very similar to me back then. Really."

"Wang Sen?" Lin Rui nodded, agreeing. "He's definitely made it big. Wang Sen paid me back 300 million Federation Coins this month alone. His popularity is growing. Maybe he can pay off all his loans within three months and raise enough money to breed a colonized war dragon within six months."

He said it unintentionally, but the listener took it to heart. When Fei Yunlai heard the words "pay off all the loans", his face suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized, what a difference between this little fat guy and himself! They were not even on the same path!
His current debt has exceeded 400 billion federal coins. If part of it was not an interest-free loan provided by Lin Rui, he would not be able to afford the interest alone.

Fei Yunlai can only count on the equity incentives from Forest Alien Company now. He knows the company's equity incentive plan, so he must join the board of directors and get the largest share of equity incentives! No one can stop him!

In addition to the income from live streaming, Wang Sen can also get a generous salary from Lin Rui and a stipend from the Song Dynasty court. The fat boy may not be able to become rich in this life, but he will never be in debt like himself.

Lin Rui didn't notice Fei Yunlai's expression. At this moment, he felt something and looked at a seat in the opposite stands.

Is that Shi Yan? This woman seems quite interesting.

——There may be a god in her!
