"Ha ha ha..." Liu Menglong patted Zhao Tianming's shoulder and burst into laughter, "Brother, take it easy!"
Although they were roommates, Liu Menglong was always busy changing girlfriends and didn't pay much attention to Zhao Tianming and Zhao Xin's relationship. Moreover, given Zhao Tianming and Zhao Xin's status, it was impossible for their relationship to cause a city-wide scandal, even for someone like him, a 'small character.' Today was the first time he heard Zhao Tianming talk about his relationship with Zhao Xin, and learning about Zhao Tianming's tragic situation, how could Liu Menglong not laugh?
He had to laugh, laugh loudly, laugh with a sense of schadenfreude, and laugh until Zhao Tianming wished he could bang his head on the ground to feel satisfied.
"Damn! You can't be so mean," Zhao Tianming was so angry that he even gave the middle finger, "As the old saying goes: Don't think you're having a good time now, be careful you'll be in trouble tomorrow! After you marry your wife, you might end up worse than me!"
Liu Menglong stopped laughing, turned his head to look at Nalan Ruyue, who was busy in the kitchen, and crossed his arms, "Do you believe it yourself?"
Zhao Tianming's strong confidence made him feel OTZ: Sister-in-law, you can't be too gentle!
After not seeing each other for over two years, the two brothers had endless things to talk about. However, Liu Menglong's current life was too happy, peaceful, and he had a gentle, considerate, and virtuous wife, which made Zhao Tianming keep complaining, "Sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious! Following Brother Long is such a waste. Oh, why is my wife so different from your sister-in-law!"
The reunion after two years turned into a complaint session for Zhao Tianming, making Liu Menglong both cry and laugh. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him out the door, "Get lost! Go complain to your own wife!"
"Ah! I will definitely come back~~~~~~~~~" Zhao Tianming drove away in a cloud of dust.
After seeing Zhao Tianming off, Nalan Ruyue smiled and signed, "Brother, your friend is really fun."
"If you really think he's fun, you'll be played by him sooner or later," Liu Menglong's face turned serious, "His visit today isn't as simple as it seems."
At the same time, after driving away, Zhao Tianming's slightly cloudy eyes gradually cleared up. He touched the car window, and a few drops of alcohol were expelled from his fingertips.
Sighing, Zhao Tianming placed his hands on the steering wheel, recalling every moment he spent with Liu Menglong, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Although the physique is very similar, Brother Long still doesn't have any internal energy reaction, he shouldn't be the Kung Fu Panda."
Indeed, Zhao Tianming came to find Liu Menglong this time not to get information about the time when Old Master Liu stayed at Liu Menglong's house, but because the American Empire Corporation offered one billion dollars to purchase the true identity of the Kung Fu Panda.
One billion dollars is not a small amount, enough to keep the Black Rat Gang running smoothly for fifty years. The American Empire Corporation's goal was only to get the real identity of the Kung Fu Panda in the real world, such a deal was too good to pass up for the Black Rat Gang.
As the young master of the Black Rat Gang, Zhao Tianming thought of Liu Menglong the moment he saw the Kung Fu Panda in the video. The Kung Fu Panda's height and physique were very similar to Liu Menglong's, but the combat power displayed in the video was too astonishing, completely different from the Liu Menglong he knew.
Considering their college roommates, Zhao Tianming specially came to visit after two years and personally used internal energy to test Liu Menglong. That punch let him know that Liu Menglong's body was empty, with no internal energy at all. This basically ruled out the possibility that Liu Menglong was the Kung Fu Panda. However, he didn't expect Liu Menglong to be Old Master Liu's illegitimate grandson, nor did he expect Old Master Liu to have offered him the position of the Liu family's head.
The troubles of noble families are many, and Zhao Tianming had long experienced this. Apart from being a bit surprised, he wasn't overly shocked by this news. His father... cough, cough!
Ruling out the possibility that Liu Menglong was the Kung Fu Panda, Zhao Tianming felt a bit relieved. He was afraid that if Liu Menglong really was the Kung Fu Panda, betraying his college brother would make his conscience suffer.
But since Liu Menglong isn't the Kung Fu Panda, where is the real Kung Fu Panda?
The average height of people in Tianfu is not high, men are even less than 1.7 meters tall. People like Liu Menglong, who are nearly 1.9 meters tall, are not common. However, the average height of the younger generation in Tianfu is over 1.7 meters, and there are tens of thousands of young people who play sports and are over 1.8 meters tall, and thousands who are over 1.9 meters tall. Finding the Kung Fu Panda among so many people is not easy.
"Headache," Zhao Tianming scratched his head, "Kung Fu Panda, where are you? You're worth one billion dollars now!"
With many troubles, Tianfu, which had been peaceful for decades, is becoming increasingly unstable.
Late at night, in the third-floor villa.
Liu Menglong lay in bed, his consciousness entered the system interface, Level 3 permission — Alchemy Room.
"The Alchemy Room is a place for the host to independently refine pills. All pill refinement methods are recorded in the Alchemy Room's Alchemy Manual. The host can freely read all pill formulas below their current level. The herbs needed to refine pills must be purchased from the store, and the prices of the herbs are relatively high. However, the success rate of refining pills is only 50%, so the host should be prepared to spend a lot of money."
What the hell!
Being able to refine pills is good, but why are the herb prices so high? Why is the success rate only 50%? Why the special reminder to be prepared to spend a lot of money?
System, are you trying to ruin me?
Liu Menglong glared fiercely at the dragonfly.
"I'm just a guide fairy..."
Damn!
At level 30, the store finally opened its third floor. Liu Menglong ignored the other stores and dove straight into the medicine store.
The third-floor medicines were even more powerful, with all-attribute +1 Universal Pills, each attribute +3 Attribute Pills, 10,000 experience Experience Pills, and various other strange pills. Seeing them made Liu Menglong drool, but the prices were at least 100,000 and up to 500,000.
Liu Menglong felt OTZ.
The Universal Pills, Attribute Pills, and Experience Pills all had usage limits, with a maximum of three uses per type. Liu Menglong gritted his teeth and spent over two million to buy three Universal Pills, twelve different Attribute Pills, and three Experience Pills, and immediately swallowed them all.
"Host has taken 3 Universal Pills, 3 Strength Attribute Pills, 3 Speed Attribute Pills, 3 True Qi Attribute Pills, 3 Intelligence Attribute Pills, and 3 Experience Pills. Strength +12, Speed +12, True Qi +12, Intelligence +12, Experience +30,000."
Heaven! Over two million yuan for such a small gain, Liu Menglong wished he could immediately refine a pill that adds 100 to all attributes, refine ten thousand of them, and become invincible, then defeat Long Zongheng, unify the world, and dominate the universe...
"Want to buy the herbs for low-level attribute pills?" The old man in the medicine store was surprised when Liu Menglong said he wanted to buy the materials to refine low-level attribute pills, "What do you want to buy those for? Although there is no limit to the number of low-level attribute pills you can take, each pill is very expensive and only adds 1 point to a single attribute, which is not cost-effective."
"Money is not a problem!" Liu Menglong gritted his teeth. He had just earned fifty million from selling information, and he planned to use all of it to buy herbs and refine low-level attribute pills with no usage limit.
With a 50% success rate in the Alchemy Room, the cost of low-level attribute pills was at least 500,000 per pill. Spending 500,000 to add 1 point to a single attribute was a wasteful act, even the old man in the medicine store thought Liu Menglong was too wasteful.
But what can you do? Who would have thought that low-level attribute pills had the amazing feature of 'no usage limit'? Spending fifty million, he could get 100 attribute points, which was worth it.
But it really burned money! The fifty million he just got was spent in one go.
"Spending fool," the old man looked at Liu Menglong as if he were a fool, shook his head, took the fifty million, and handed him the specified herbs, and finally 'encouraged' him, "I've never seen a spending fool like you before. I have other herbs here, and I can give you a 99% discount next time."
99% discount? Go to hell!
Liu Menglong, with tears in his eyes, returned to the Alchemy Room with a large amount of herbs. Following the Alchemy Manual's method for refining low-level attribute pills, he sorted the different herbs and placed them in the alchemy furnace in order, starting his first pill refinement experience.
