Chapter 81

Rolling on the ground, begging for recommendation tickets.

...

Everyone who knows the Black Rat Gang knows that they are a bunch of madmen with knives, who want to kill anyone they see. Their intelligence prices are exorbitantly high, and generally, unless the information is very important, no one would seek to buy it from the Black Rat Gang. The Black Rat Gang is a typical example of not making a profit for three years, but when they do, they can live off it for three years.

After checking his current funds, Liu Menglong fell silent for a moment, then turned and returned to the villa.

Nothing should be done rashly. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to seek help, especially from his college roommate whom he had not contacted for two years. Most importantly, he had no money.

The Black Rat Gang has a rule: the minimum price is ten million. Information below ten million is generally considered to have little value and can even be given away for free to other gangs. Liu Menglong was unsure if the information about the people sent by the American Empire family had any value, but even if it was not worth more than ten million, he did not think the Black Rat Gang would give him a free favor.

The upper echelons are always intricately connected. He was currently penniless and had no basis for connecting with the upper echelons. Moreover, he did not want to get too involved with them, as it would only drag him in deeper.

If he were alone, it wouldn't matter, but with Nalan Ruyue in his life, Liu Menglong became abnormally cautious in his words and actions. No matter what he did, he did not want to involve Nalan Ruyue. If there was anything else he wished for in this life besides avenging Uncle Guan, it was Nalan Ruyue.

So, the feasibility of buying intelligence from the Black Rat Gang was temporarily abandoned by Liu Menglong.

Returning to the villa early, he used this time to think about how to complete the system tasks while also practicing his Body Technique proficiency.

"Host, after relentless effort, Body Technique level has been upgraded to Intermediate Body Technique. Life profession has been upgraded, special rewards: Strength +5, Speed +5, True Qi +5, Intelligence +5, Experience +5000, Money +10000."

Just after five o'clock, Dragonfly's voice sounded in his mind. Liu Menglong came to his senses and immediately felt a strange change in his body, a feeling that was indescribable.

Though puzzled, he did not think much about it, as it was certainly a change brought about by the Body Technique upgrade. Liu Menglong brought up his status bar and checked the effects of the Intermediate Body Technique.

Body Technique (Intermediate 0%): Bones integrate into flesh, height and appearance can be manipulated at will, no longer worrying about broken bones.

What?

Liu Menglong was stunned. What was this?

No wonder his body had changed. It turned out his bones had integrated into his flesh, and that was why his height and appearance could be changed at will. Without bones, his body naturally wouldn't break, which was simply amazing.

For the first time, Liu Menglong truly recognized the power of the Body Technique. No wonder it could enhance all four attributes evenly. Such a powerful life profession... was this really a life profession?

Stepping out of the bedroom, he turned on the lights in the living room and stood in front of the mirror. Liu Menglong manipulated his facial muscles, changing them bit by bit. His sword-like eyebrows remained, but his eyes slanted downward, gradually forming a cunning triangular shape. His straight nose became a flat one, his firm lips turned into a toad-like mouth, and his sharp chin became a double chin. It was as ugly as it could be.

A glint of excitement flashed in Liu Menglong's eyes. It really could change his appearance. What about his height?

His body began to shake, and his muscles started to change in ways that defied natural laws. His 1.88-meter height gradually shrank, finally becoming a 1-meter dwarf, and his clothes fell off.

Looking at his naked self in the mirror, Liu Menglong almost vomited. He looked ugly, and his body was as deformed as Wu Dalang's. It was disgusting, but the change was very promising. The limit for his height to shrink was 1 meter, which he needed to remember.

Then Liu Menglong tried the limit of his height, looking at the nearly 3-meter-tall, thin giant in the mirror. He patted his head: "Wu Dalang is at least human, but this is like an alien."

His body returned to its normal height, and his appearance also reverted to its original state. Subconsciously, he saw a large bird, and out of curiosity, he turned the bird into a giant bird, then gradually reduced it to a chick...

Liu Menglong was deep in thought. His height immediately shrank to about 1.3 meters, and his appearance became childish, like a 10-year-old, cute and innocent, with a chick...

Looking at the child in the mirror, Liu Menglong's lips curled into a sly smile: "Call me the Man of a Thousand Faces."

His body returned to normal, and he looked at the Body Technique skill, feeling a myriad of emotions: It had improved by one proficiency level...

While Liu Menglong was enjoying the benefits of the Body Technique, the destruction of Bio-Men 002 and 003 on the other side of the ocean infuriated the big shots.

Through the screen, the fifteen family heads of the American Empire saw the mysterious person wearing a tiger mask destroy Bio-Men 002 and 003 one after another. They were both angry and shocked.

"From the footage, the person wearing the tiger mask is likely the Kung Fu Panda in the intelligence," the silver-haired old man said, his eyes flashing with surprise. "But that's not the main point. The main point is that when 003 attacked, a huge shield appeared in front of him. So I suspect Kung Fu Panda is a psychic, and possibly a mysterious spatial psychic."

"Perhaps it's more than that," one of the old men said, his eyes darkening. "We all know that the strength of bio-men is comparable to that of an adult brown bear, but 002 and 003 had no advantage in their battle with Kung Fu Panda. This shows that Kung Fu Panda's strength is also terrifying. Our research and understanding of psychics are still insufficient, but we know that psychics are very united. If Kung Fu Panda is a psychic, we may face a threat from the entire psychic world."

"You're overthinking it," another old man said. "Although my understanding of psychics is not extensive, I know that most are supportive, and combat psychics are very rare, posing no significant threat to us. As we saw in the footage, although Kung Fu Panda destroyed 002 and 003, they also caused him considerable trouble. Our research on bio-men is still in the experimental stage, and 002 and 003 are only prototypes. If we intensify our research, we will definitely have more advanced bio-warriors within the next ten years. At that time, neither Kung Fu Panda nor the psychics will be a concern."

"That's ten years from now, but we can't be unprepared now," the old man who spoke earlier was still worried.

"You're right," another old man agreed, but then added, "But we don't need to fear those psychics. No matter how powerful a psychic is, they still fear guns. Kung Fu Panda had to raise a shield to defend against 003's attack, which shows that he also fears bullets. If the psychics dare to show themselves, one bullet will be enough."

These words gave the worried crowd a great deal of courage. The silver-haired old man said, "Indeed, in the age of cold weapons, psychics could be called gods, but now it's the age of firearms. Even God can't withstand a nuclear bomb, so we don't need to be afraid. The world will be firmly in our hands, and Kung Fu Panda is destined to be destroyed."

The atmosphere in the room heated up with these words, but the key issue was still unresolved.

"Kung Fu Panda is indeed powerful, but the biggest problem is that no one knows what he looks like. This is very detrimental to our goal of retrieving the Snake-Cutting Sword. What are your thoughts?"

This question sparked another round of discussion. Soon, an old man said, "We should quickly investigate Kung Fu Panda's true identity. Once we know his real identity, finding the Snake-Cutting Sword will be much easier."

"George, I think you're senile," another old man sneered. "We all know we need to investigate Kung Fu Panda's identity, but how? Kung Fu Panda has never shown his true face, and the only clue is that he is from Tianfu. His actions are always within Tianfu, but Tianfu has a population of over 200 million. How do we investigate? It's China, not the United States, and our influence there is limited."
