After quickly pulling out the entire agreement and flipping through it, he confirmed that it was indeed the ownership transfer agreement for Jeju Island, and it was in three copies: Chinese, Korean, and English.

If it were only in Chinese, Ji Feng might have thought it was fake, but after reading the English version again, he began to believe it. Although the university Ji Feng attended was only a second-rate institution, he had a particular interest in English, and his only achievement during his university years was probably his fluent English.

The agreement not only had the signature and seal of his great-grandfather Ji Fu but also the signature of the then South Korean President Park Chung-hee and the official seal of the South Korean government. It also had the signature of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and the witness seal of the U.S. government. The signing date was March 28, 1964.

The entire agreement stipulated that the area south of the 50-nautical-mile parallel north of Jeju Island belonged to the Ji family's private property, enjoying all rights, including sovereignty. In other words, Jeju Island did not belong to South Korea but was the property of the Ji family.

"Damn, this joke is too big. Jeju Island is quite large, right?" Ji Feng thought about the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island and its booming tourism, and he was instantly excited.

But after being happy for just a couple of minutes, Ji Feng sat down in a chair with a bitter smile.

Even with this agreement, it might not be easy to reclaim it. After all, the South Korean government has invested a lot there over the years. As a penniless foreigner, the South Korean government would never give such a large island to him.

Sighing lightly, Ji Feng still decided to find someone to try. If it belonged to the Ji family, why should it be a contribution to South Korea? If it were an island of his own country, he wouldn't mind not getting it, considering it a donation to the country. But for another country, he wouldn't even think about it.

Putting the agreement back into the file, he noticed a few more files below and quickly pulled them out to look through. Although he already had the ownership agreement for Jeju Island, he was puzzled when he saw that there were ownership agreements for four more islands. What did his great-grandfather do back then? How did he manage to buy five islands from five different countries, and all the witnesses were the U.S. government? The five islands looked quite large, including the nearby waters, with the smallest probably being Phuket Island in Thailand.

Seeing the signature of the King of Thailand and the seal of the Thai royal family on the ownership agreement for Phuket Island, Ji Feng was truly puzzled. How did his great-grandfather manage to get all these?

Below the five island ownership agreements, there were other anonymous bonds and shares. What made Ji Feng's eyes almost pop out was a 3.5% equity certificate of Royal Dutch Shell and a 13.7% equity certificate of ExxonMobil. The third one was even more impressive, a 3.17% equity certificate of UBS, which, considering UBS's current scale, was certainly not a small amount.

There were also a few equity certificates of companies Ji Feng had never heard of, but just the shares of the two oil companies alone were enough to make Ji Feng's heart race. Given the current scale of these two companies, these shares were probably worth at least a few billion dollars.

In the bottommost bag, Ji Feng found an account opening certificate from UBS, but the pitiful few thousand dollars in the account made him almost cry and laugh at the same time. As a shareholder of UBS, how could he have such a small amount in his own bank?

However, Ji Feng couldn't help but admire his great-grandfather's investment acumen. Just these assets alone were enough to ensure that the entire Ji family (now just Ji Feng himself, as he had no intention of telling anyone else) would live a life of comfort.

Putting everything back in place, Ji Feng calmed his excited heart and opened the right drawer. Inside was a thin book, with the three large characters "Qiangti Jue" (Body Strengthening Technique) written in traditional Chinese.

After flipping through it, he realized it was a handwritten copy by his great-grandfather, documenting all his skills to be passed down to his descendants, which now meant Ji Feng himself.

According to his analysis, the Body Strengthening Technique was divided into six levels, and he had only reached the fifth level before violating the rules of the Divine Dragon Space and being destroyed by the rules. Therefore, he hurriedly organized these things in the last month to leave them for Ji Feng.

The Body Strengthening Technique was not complicated to start, but only after mastering the basics could one enter the market. Similarly, the doors within the building would open as one's level increased.

Pounding his forehead, no wonder he couldn't go to the market in the back; he needed to practice the Body Strengthening Technique.

However, what surprised Ji Feng was that the tower in the back was not for worship but for refining medicines. Each floor had a different pharmacy for refining different types of medicines.

Ji Feng was just about to go and check out the good things left by his great-grandfather, but the next sentence extinguished his thoughts. It turned out that to enter the medicine tower, one had to reach the third level of the Body Strengthening Technique, which was another rule of the Divine Dragon Space. Although the doors would theoretically open after breaking the first level, there was a prerequisite: one must reach the third level of the Body Strengthening Technique.

The Body Strengthening Technique was not just a simple way to strengthen the body. According to his great-grandfather, it was almost all-powerful. He even once told his story to his American friend, who was so interested that he wanted to draw a comic based on him. His great-grandfather just laughed it off.

But Ji Feng knew that the comic not only became popular but also swept the world, especially its movie adaptations, which raked in countless box office revenues.

Ji Feng, whose heart was long unsettled, knew that this was the greatest asset left by his great-grandfather.

At the same time, Ji Feng finally had some idea of how his great-grandfather managed to get these islands. With his mysterious abilities to control humans and everything else, who in this world could stop him?

If he hadn't violated the rules of the Divine Dragon Space, he might still be alive today.

Thinking of this, Ji Feng couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation for the Body Strengthening Technique, even eager to start practicing.

Since he had nothing else to do, and he had no intention of continuing his job after being dumped by his girlfriend, to avoid future awkwardness at the same company, and even if he wanted to work, they wouldn't hire him, Ji Feng took the Body Strengthening Technique out of the study and went to an open space among the flowers in the courtyard, starting to practice the first level of the Body Strengthening Technique.

It wasn't that Ji Feng didn't want to leave, but the text also mentioned that if one didn't master the basics after the first entry, they couldn't leave.

Although everything here was quite satisfactory, Ji Feng didn't plan to live here long-term. Accustomed to city life, although he yearned for the countryside, he didn't intend to stay in a place with no one for a long time, or he would drive himself crazy.
