Chapter 93

This is the second-to-last chapter before going live, and tomorrow is the day. Panda is quite nervous, unsure how the subscription will fare after the launch. I hope everything goes well. Please give me your recommendations.

"Grandpa, it's still early!" Li Zao was unhappy: "It's not even five o'clock yet, the restaurants haven't even opened!"

"Then we'll buy some groceries and eat at home." The old technician couldn't wait: "We'll make some hot and sour soup tonight, aren't you the best at it? Let Xiao Liu try your cooking."

"No way." Liu Menglong quickly stopped him: "I still have to go home for dinner! Let's do it another day! We can discuss things then."

"Oh, your family is waiting for you!" A bucket of cold water was poured over him, the old technician calmed down, with a heart full of regret: "Then go back! Don't let your family wait."

He paused: "Xiao Zao, settle Xiao Liu's salary."

It seems the old technician is also a family man.

Li Zao mumbled, took out 1,600 yuan, and handed it to Liu Menglong: "Here's your salary, I won't give you the 25 yuan change."

Liu Menglong laughed, put the money away: "Alright! Since I had lunch, it can count as my meal allowance."

Li Zao rolled her eyes, opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally asked: "Big Brother Liu, who's in your family?"

"What for?" Liu Menglong glanced at her, teasing: "Could it be that you've fallen in love with me so quickly and want to meet my family?"

Li Zao's face turned red, she shouted: "Disgusting! Big Brother Liu is a big pervert!"

The old technician laughed heartily: "That's not bad! Xiao Liu, our Xiao Zao has a clear background and looks good. She's a bit young, but in a few years, she'll be old enough to get married. If you two can get together, I'll be the first to support it."

"Disgusting, why are you helping him, Grandpa?" Li Zao's face turned even redder.

"How is this helping him? I'm helping you. It's not easy to find a good young man like Xiao Liu, who has such a skill. He won't have to worry about making a living, and the customers all say he looks good. I'm afraid you might not be good enough for him!"

"I'm not good enough for him? I..." Li Zao glanced at Liu Menglong, feeling OTZ: I really am not good enough for him...

"Really not good enough?" Sensing his granddaughter's abnormality, the old technician was taken aback.

Li Zao was on the verge of tears.

Liu Menglong cleared his throat: "No such thing, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't have a good wife... Uh, I have something to do, I'll go first."

Liu Menglong fled in embarrassment, Li Zao burst into tears, and the old technician was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

……

At the Liu residence.

"Menglong went to work as a masseur at a massage parlor?" Upon hearing this news, Shao Meiyun was shocked.

"Yes," said an intelligence officer from the Liu residence.

Although Liu Menglong had refused the invitation in front of Old Master Liu, with the old master's recent hospitalization due to a hemorrhage, Shao Meiyun, in her panic, remembered her cousin Liu Menglong. She began sending people to monitor his movements, but never expected to receive such news.

Menglong, what are you thinking? Although the position of head of the Liu family is risky, it's still more prestigious than being a worker. Besides, after so long, I don't believe anyone would still send assassins to kill the head of the Liu family. You have a chance to stand above all.

After a long moment of deep thought, Shao Meiyun waved to the intelligence officer: "Continue to monitor Menglong's movements. Things are getting more unstable in Tianfu, ensure his safety."

"Yes."

Soon after, Shao Meiyun finished her work for the day and drove to the hospital to visit Old Master Liu.

A few days ago, Old Master Liu, ignoring the doctors' advice, continued to overwork himself, leading to a rapid deterioration of his health. He now lay in the hospital's intensive care unit, pale and weak, clearly no longer capable of leading the Liu family.

"Grandpa." Sitting by the bed, she gently called out to the sleeping old master, who slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Shao Meiyun, he softly said: "Meiyun, you're here..."

His voice was weak, the once powerful Old Master Liu was now a frail old man.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling now? Do you want to eat something?" Shao Meiyun's face showed concern. In fact, she didn't look well either. With Old Master Liu's decline, she had to take on the responsibility of the Liu family again. After a few days, her already poor condition had worsened.

"I'm afraid I won't make it." Old Master Liu sighed: "In the future, the Liu family... I've let down the ancestors of the Liu family."

"Grandpa, don't say that." A wave of helplessness and sorrow welled up inside her, but she held back, softly comforting him: "The Liu family still needs you. Get well soon, and I'll take care of the Liu family for you during this time. When you recover, everything will be fine."

Old Master Liu seemed to have lost his spirit after the recent hemorrhage. Shao Meiyun's encouragement had no effect, and he continued to sigh and mutter: "I've let down the ancestors of the Liu family..."

Shao Meiyun could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.

Unconsciously, four more days passed. During these four days, Liu Menglong's life was very regular. He practiced his acupressure skills at the massage parlor during the day, had dinner and watched TV with Nalan Ruyue in the evening, and spent his nights in the system training ground, clearing levels and refining pills. Over these four days, Liu Menglong spent 90 million yuan and refined 180 attribute pills. With the points he had accumulated previously, he now had 243 points. Seeing so many points, Liu Menglong couldn't help but feel excited.

To refine the pills, Liu Menglong hadn't gone out to fight monsters these past few days, but the four training sessions in the training ground still earned him 62,000 experience points. He was now just 7,000 points away from reaching level 39.

On the fifth day, in the morning, after completing a massage for a customer, Liu Menglong heard the dragonfly's congratulations in his mind.

"Host, after relentless effort, your acupressure skill has been upgraded to Intermediate Acupressure Master. Your life skill has been enhanced. Special reward: +5 Intelligence, +1000 Experience, +1000 Money."

Having experienced several upgrades before, Liu Menglong could now remain calm. He looked at the abilities of the Intermediate Acupressure Master and smiled.

Acupressure Master (Intermediate 0%): By pressing acupoints, achieve effects such as immobilization, anesthesia, disability, and death. The duration can be controlled, and only the host can解除.

"What are you smiling about?" Seeing Liu Menglong smile for no reason, Li Zao was annoyed: "Smiling so slyly, are you thinking about some girl?"

Liu Menglong looked at her with a smile. Since that day when he casually said "a good man doesn't have a good wife," Li Zao had been unhappy with him, seizing every opportunity to tease him.

"Sure! I'm thinking about how to ruin this girl!" Liu Menglong smiled wickedly: "Should I use ropes? Or drugs? Or should I just use a knife and force it?"

"Ugh!" Li Zao's face turned red, and she spat: "Pervert."

The surrounding customers laughed.

With Liu Menglong's arrival, the news of a highly skilled young masseur at the blind massage parlor spread far and wide. Especially the flirtatious young women and mature ladies, after meeting Liu Menglong, they lined up every day to have him massage them. Even a wealthy woman offered a tempting condition of one million yuan a year for his exclusive services, which Liu Menglong naturally declined with a smile.

Liu Menglong, a seasoned player, knew these women were just lonely and seeking some excitement. When massaging them, he specifically stimulated their spring water points, making them flow for half an hour. Some of the bolder ones even tried to touch him. For those with good looks, Liu Menglong didn't stop them, but for those from the Jurassic era, he coldly pointed at their "sterility points," making them sexually cold for a month.

Gradually, the number of ill-intentioned dinosaurs decreased, while the number of ill-intentioned but attractive young women increased. Of course, this was relative. In a legitimate massage parlor, there were only five or six such customers. They were just seeking excitement, not necessarily being promiscuous in their daily lives. Through observation, Liu Menglong found that they were all neglected housewives who hadn't been with a man for a long time and couldn't hold back.

Rich, idle, and lonely, these women, upon meeting a handsome man like Liu Menglong, who could provide both excitement and relaxation at a reasonable price, naturally flocked to him.

However, with only half an hour of fixed time each day, it was impossible to satisfy their oceanic desires. These neglected housewives wished they could take Liu Menglong home and keep him by their side every day.
