Chapter 65

"Please recommend me."

"......"

"Got it!" After reading the attributes of the fish-scale armor, Liu Menglong's eyes gleamed with excitement. A +100 defense was fine, and a 3% chance to reflect damage was also acceptable, but the fact that the recovery speed of qi could be increased by 5% was simply amazing.

After level 20, Liu Menglong could recover 1 point of qi every ten seconds. With this soft armor, it only took 9.5 seconds to recover 1 point of qi. Don't underestimate this 0.5-second reduction. If the recovery value of qi were magnified, even by a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, the time saved by the soft armor would be immeasurable.

In a battle between experts, 0.1 seconds could determine life or death. Sometimes, a lack of 1 point of qi could be fatal. By this calculation, the 0.5 seconds saved by the soft armor could save Liu Menglong five lives.

"How much? I'll take it!" Liu Menglong rubbed his hands together; such a divine item must be bought!

The beautiful woman smiled slightly: "Ten thousand yuan."

"Not expensive." Ten thousand yuan for a life was truly not expensive.

After paying, Liu Menglong happily put the fish-scale soft armor into his item space and casually asked, "Madam, do you have any other good items? Like an invisibility cloak?"

The madam covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "Host, you're so funny. How could there be such things on the second floor?"

"Alright!" Liu Menglong smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam, give me twenty pillowcases, the enhanced version from the second floor."

The enhanced pillowcases not only guaranteed 100% peaceful sleep but also had a 20% chance of having a good dream. Long-term use could ensure a person's mood and spirit remained good. Although Liu Menglong didn't need them, Lan Ruyue and the Yue sisters who would come to play during holidays could use them. Getting twenty pillowcases meant replacing all the pillowcases in the house, ensuring that no matter which pillow was used, one could sleep peacefully.

"Sure, twenty pillowcases, ten thousand yuan."

So expensive! Really expensive!

No problem, I have money.

Leaving the tailor shop, Liu Menglong went to the item shop and bought a tiger mask. It had a 30% chance to intimidate opponents, reducing all their attributes by 30% if successful. It was a group effect, making it a divine item. However, the price was exorbitant, 100,000 yuan, almost making Liu Menglong bleed.

Biting his teeth, he bought the tiger mask and then wandered around other shops. Although there were many good items, Liu Menglong felt he wouldn't need them immediately. After much deliberation, he finally bought ten timed bombs from the weapon shop. Each bomb had a destruction radius of fifty meters. Liu Menglong wasn't sure what he would use them for, but he was curious about how they worked, having seen explosions on TV.

The timed bombs were not expensive, 5,000 yuan each, so ten cost 50,000 yuan. He put them in his item space and thought about whether to go to Dragon City and blow up the Crown Prince's palace. With his stealth skill, there was a good chance he could plant the bomb in the Crown Prince's palace.

After checking his current status and considering the success rate, Liu Menglong abandoned the idea. Not only was the Crown Prince's palace heavily guarded, but he also had no idea where it was.

Without detailed information, blowing up the Crown Prince's palace was just a fantasy.

Returning to reality, Liu Menglong took off his night clothes and tight-fitting clothes, put on the fish-scale soft armor, and wore the tiger mask. He walked out of the bedroom and stood in front of the mirror.

The tiger mask was a realistic mask. Wearing it made him look like a tiger-headed person, with a fierce and roaring tiger face that exuded a sense of power and danger. No wonder it had a 30% chance to intimidate opponents; just the appearance could scare the timid to death.

The fish-scale soft armor tightly hugged Liu Menglong's body, even covering his neck, leaving only his head and limbs exposed. However, it had good breathability, making it feel very comfortable.

Liu Menglong had a model-like physique. With the tight-fitting clothes, tiger mask, and his own masculine aura, he exuded a wild charm that could drive any woman crazy.

"Looks good." Liu Menglong praised himself, took off the tiger mask, and put it in his item space. It was only three in the morning, and he couldn't sleep, so he decided to practice his skills. Whether it was stealth or the Heavenly Gang Body Shield, he practiced both. The two skills had different attributes and could be activated simultaneously, saving time.

However, the two skills consumed a lot of qi. Even with the fish-scale soft armor, Liu Menglong needed 9.5 seconds to recover 1 point of qi, which was far from enough. So he spent a lot of money on qi-replenishing pills. He practiced from three in the morning until six, significantly improving his stealth and Heavenly Gang Body Shield skills, but his stomach was growling.

Hearing Lan Ruyue open the door, Liu Menglong stopped and checked his status, nodding in satisfaction.

After three hours of practice, his stealth skill improved by 4%, and his Heavenly Gang Body Shield, being at the basic level, reached 60%, showing rapid progress. However, his money had drastically decreased due to the purchase of various equipment and a large number of qi-replenishing pills, now less than eight million, truly experiencing the feeling of spending money like water.

Today was August 30th, and school would start the day after tomorrow. As a teacher, Liu Menglong had to attend a faculty meeting tomorrow, even though he was just a physical education teacher. If he skipped it, he could be fired.

Although he didn't plan to stay, Liu Menglong didn't want to leave without saying goodbye. After two years as a teacher, he had good relationships with the school's teachers and leaders and was on good terms with the students. He wanted to give notice and let the school find a replacement before leaving, as irresponsibly leaving wasn't his style.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Liu Menglong walked downstairs. Lan Ruyue had just finished making breakfast. They looked at each other and smiled.

Around five in the morning, the first rain of autumn fell in Tianfu. Lan Ruyue changed from a skirt to long pants, wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans, looking youthful and elegant, like a chrysanthemum, making people feel comfortable.

Liu Menglong's fish-scale soft armor was hidden under a white shirt and blue jeans. Standing together, they looked like a couple, a perfect match.

Perhaps thinking the same thing, both Liu Menglong and Lan Ruyue felt a bit embarrassed.

Scratching his head, Liu Menglong said, "It's raining today, so we can't work at the construction site. Do you have anything you want to do? I'll accompany you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Ruyue's eyes. After a moment's thought, she smiled and gestured: "We don't have many ingredients left, so we need to buy some. We're also running out of toilet paper, so we need a pack. My period started last night, so I need two packs of sanitary napkins, soap, shower gel, shampoo... and we're also running low on chili and Sichuan pepper..."

Liu Menglong's forehead broke out in a sweat. "Alright, I understand. After breakfast, I'll go with you."

Lan Ruyue nodded happily, set the table, and sat down opposite him. Just as they were about to eat, Liu Menglong's phone rang.
