Chapter 50

Ninth place, he managed to surge forward, but the position was very unstable. Last week, he also surged forward on the first day, only to be knocked down. It's the last week, brothers and sisters, don't be lazy about voting anymore. We can't end up not making it to the front page, can we? A sad ending, right?

…………

Although unable to provide help through medical means, as an ability user, as long as one can absorb external abilities, they can become energy and nutrients to repair the body, which is very effective for quick recovery. Yue Xi couldn't think of any other way, so she had to use this method to alleviate Liu Menglong's pain.

Yue Xi had just given Liu Menglong a month's worth of ability last month, and it took him several days to recover. But for Liu Menglong, she once again extended her finger without hesitation, and the ability poured out.

With an extra finger in his mouth, Liu Menglong, upon hearing Yue Xi's words, instinctively sucked in a large mouthful. Instantly, a massive amount of energy surged into his body. Yue Chang, seeing Yue Xi's face turn increasingly pale, felt a pang in her heart. Her gaze gradually became resolute, and she also extended her finger, stuffing it into Liu Menglong's mouth. This way, cold and hot energies poured into Liu Menglong's body.

"Detected abnormal energy in the host's body, initially identified as fire energy. The system automatically decomposes the energy... Decomposition complete. Decomposed energy begins to convert to experience points... Conversion complete. Experience points begin to merge... Merge complete. Congratulations, host, you have gained 100,000 experience points."

"Detected abnormal energy in the host's body, initially identified as mutated ice water energy. The system automatically decomposes the energy... Decomposition complete. Decomposed energy begins to convert to experience points... Conversion complete. Experience points begin to merge... Merge complete. Congratulations, host, you have gained 145,000 experience points."

"Experience points are full, level up! Congratulations, host, you have reached level 20, learned the skill 'Heavenly Gang Body Protection,' and gained level 2 access—training ground activated. Level up, level up, level up, level up. Congratulations, host, you have reached level 24."

Five consecutive golden level-up lights flashed over him, and all of Liu Menglong's negative states instantly disappeared. His consciousness returned to normal. When he saw the Yue sisters with their fingers in his mouth, their faces pale but full of concern, Liu Menglong was almost moved to tears.

245,000 experience points, a full five levels of advancement, was the result of each of the two sisters sacrificing two months of their abilities. Especially Yue Chang, perhaps to make up for the greater 'sacrifice' Yue Xi had made in the past, she input 45,000 more experience points than Yue Xi. This way, each of the two sisters had sacrificed three months of their abilities for Liu Menglong.

Such a huge sacrifice, just to alleviate his pain, how could Liu Menglong not be moved?

Seeing Liu Menglong stop vomiting, the Yue sisters looked delighted. "Big brother, how are you? Can you get up?"

Liu Menglong nodded and instinctively licked the fingers in his mouth. A current of electricity ran from the fingertips to his heart. The two girls quickly pulled their fingers out, their faces flushed as they looked at him with a hint of embarrassment.

Liu Menglong was also a bit awkward and quickly got up from the ground. Seeing the vomit all over the floor and on his body, the sour and pungent smell made his brows furrow, but he didn't rush to take a shower and change clothes. Instead, he turned around, his gaze cold as he stared at the two muscular men, his killing intent clear.

The two muscular men were startled: This kid... his aura is even stronger than before! Could he have been holding back earlier?

They were wrong. Liu Menglong wasn't holding back; it was just that after leveling up five times, his attributes had improved, and he had also learned a new skill—Heavenly Gang Body Protection.

Heavenly Gang Body Protection (0% Beginner): A layer of gang energy covers the entire body, increasing defense by 100%, effective for 1 minute, no cooldown, consumes 50 points of true energy each time.

To be honest, Liu Menglong still didn't know what his defense value was. In the games he used to play, the four main attributes were usually strength, constitution, agility, and spirit.

Strength determines attack power, agility determines movement speed and attack speed, spirit determines magic attack and magic value, and constitution determines defense and health.

The Dream System gave Liu Menglong four very peculiar attributes: strength, speed, true energy, and intelligence. Strength determining attack power was fine, and speed could be understood as movement speed and attack speed, but true energy and intelligence were somewhat redundant. In most games, true energy was replaced by magic, and if intelligence was understood as spirit, then intelligence would determine the amount of magic, and true energy shouldn't be one of the four main attributes.

But the Dream System did it this way. Not only that, but why didn't it give a defense value? Since there was no defense value, why did the store sell defensive equipment?

Moreover, the knee strike from the muscular man with the broken leg had directly rendered him, a level 19, unable to fight. Compared to strength and speed, this defense was too weak! So Liu Menglong had always suspected that the Dream System was a defective product, which wasn't entirely unreasonable.

But what could a defective product do? At least it gave Liu Menglong the chance to become stronger and the hope of revenge. Even if it had many negative effects, Liu Menglong would use it without hesitation. Besides, the system had now given him a skill to increase his defense!

100% defense boost, a skill that gets stronger as you get stronger, and this was just the beginner level. There were still four more levels to advance. Liu Menglong could already see a bright future ahead.

"Stop!" Seeing Liu Menglong about to attack, the woman at the door immediately shouted and quickly stepped forward. "This is a misunderstanding, don't fight!"

"Misunderstanding?" Liu Menglong looked at the woman, who appeared to be in her early thirties, wearing a well-fitted light gray suit, mature and cold, with an air of authority.

Recognizing the woman, Liu Menglong was greatly surprised. "You're Shao Meiyun!?"

This woman was probably unknown to no one in Tianfu. She was the temporary head of the Liu family, Shao Meiyun, who took over after the bloodbath at the Liu residence.

Seeing that Liu Menglong recognized her, Shao Meiyun smiled slightly. "Yes, I am. You must be Liu Menglong. What happened just now was a misunderstanding. They are responsible for protecting me. If they did anything wrong, I apologize on their behalf." She bowed. "I'm sorry."

The head of the Liu family, bowing to a commoner, was a gesture of utmost respect.

Liu Menglong's expression softened. "I dare not, I wonder why Miss Shao has come to my home?"

"I have some matters I want to confirm with you in person." Shao Meiyun looked up, glanced around, and saw some elderly people nearby watching. She spoke softly. "Can we go inside to talk?"

Liu Menglong knew this wasn't the place to talk and also wanted to clean himself up. He nodded. "Please come in."

He led the way into the villa, with the Yue sisters accompanying him. Only Nalan Ruyue stayed behind, handing her phone to Shao Meiyun after finishing a message.

Shao Meiyun took it and read: "We need an explanation and compensation."

Shao Meiyun looked at Nalan Ruyue, smiled slightly, and handed the phone back. "I will give you a satisfactory explanation and compensation. Can we talk inside?"

Nalan Ruyue nodded and led the way back into the villa.

"Miss Shao..." The muscular man with the broken leg, supported by another muscular man, had a look of regret on his face. "I didn't know he was Liu Menglong..."

"No need to explain." Shao Meiyun interrupted him and turned to the other muscular man. "Take him to the hospital immediately. We can talk about other matters later."

"But Miss Shao's safety..."

"Ha ha..." Shao Meiyun smiled slightly. "Liu Menglong is so capable. With him here, I won't be in any danger. Go quickly, don't delay the treatment."

"Yes." Thinking of Liu Menglong's earlier might, the muscular man no longer objected, supporting the injured man into the car and driving away quickly.

When Shao Meiyun entered the villa, she didn't see Liu Menglong or the Yue sisters. Only Nalan Ruyue was sitting on the sofa, clearing away the cold tea but not bringing in hot tea.

Shao Meiyun smiled bitterly, knowing this was her way of settling the score. In any other situation, she would have left in a huff, but now wasn't the time to get angry. Shao Meiyun walked up to Nalan Ruyue and asked, "Ruyue, where are Menglong and the others?"

Nalan Ruyue glanced at her, picked up her phone, and typed a few words: "Brother is taking a shower. You can sit down, I'll go check."

After showing the message to Shao Meiyun, Nalan Ruyue got up and went upstairs, leaving Shao Meiyun alone in the large living room, feeling quite awkward.
