Chapter 25

Jiang Li stepped into a city other than "Xinghua City" for the first time.

As soon as he got out of the station, the ground was littered with garbage, blowing around in the wind. Most of the people had fierce and cold expressions, not good people. The tall buildings around showed signs of decay.

This was "Xuhua City," the paradise of adventurers, the haven of criminals, and the black market for underground transactions.

Jiang Li's main purpose for coming here was to buy banned drugs, super protein to enhance his strength.

The price of the super protein injection was just within his budget.

If he could enhance his physical strength, the speed of practicing "Emperor of the Mind Seal" would increase, and the speed of his brain's meditation would also accelerate. Perhaps the hypnotic secret technique could advance further.

At that time, he would truly make a lot of money.

In the past, he absolutely dared not step into this "land of sin," but now, with his skills, he could also train his abilities.

A man cannot grow without experiencing storms and darkness; staying in school all the time would make him a flower in a greenhouse.

"Kid, be obedient! Or I'll turn you into a roasted pig!"

In a corner of the station, Jiang Li was searching the map when suddenly someone bumped into him from behind, a weapon pressing against his back, cold and threatening. It was a metal high-voltage baton. The person pressed the button; if it were activated, the strong current could knock out an elephant.

"What do you want to do?"

He didn't expect to encounter a thug right after getting off the train. Indeed, it was a land of sin, with an extremely high crime rate. One could encounter robbery, fraud, extortion... at any time.

The thug behind him was a bald man with a tattoo on his arm, strong and muscular.

The bald tattooed man sneered, "What do I want? Take out your card and transfer money! Transfer all the money in your account."

In modern society, few people carry cash, which makes it difficult for many to rob. They must control others to perform online transfers.

Therefore, the bald tattooed man did not immediately kill, but forced the other to transfer money. If this were in another city, even if the transfer was successful, one could still report it and recover the money. But in "Xuhua City," there was no police force, and once forced, there was no way to recover the money.

This city had no law; instead, it had the unwritten rules set by various large and small gangs.

"So it's a robbery. Although Xuhua City is chaotic, this is too quick, being robbed right after getting off the train."

Jiang Li slightly shifted his body, moving very quickly. He had already sensed it with his mind, just wanting to see what the bald tattooed man would do. Since the other was robbing him, there was nothing to talk about.

Swish!

With this shift, he was behind the bald tattooed man, his hand slicing down, cutting fiercely at the other's neck artery.

The bald tattooed man's body softened and slid down, the metal baton falling to the ground with a clatter. How could he be Jiang Li's match?

Jiang Li's vitality was close to 1, making him a military instructor-level figure, with formidable martial arts. His punch had a force of 0.8 tons, his body light as a swallow, agile as a monkey. After long-term meditation training, his sixth sense was much sharper than the average person's, allowing him to detect danger.

With one move, he knocked out the bald tattooed man. Jiang Li's expression changed, and he touched the other's head, feeling his breathing and life rhythm. After massaging a few times, the man seemed about to wake up.

He immediately used a gentle voice, "Sleep, sleep... Do you feel very tired?"

"Yes!" Hearing Jiang Li's voice, the man answered numbly, dazed and confused, as if talking in his sleep.

"Indeed, the hypnosis was successful." Jiang Li was delighted, thinking about the key points of hypnosis: "How much money do you have on your chip?"

"8000." The man answered dazedly.

"Then quickly transfer it to me." Jiang Li's tone always followed the man's life rhythm, light and soothing, describing: "In front of you, there is a beautiful woman. As long as you give her 8000 star coins, she will accompany you..."

"No!" The man shook his head violently, his body trembling: "What a slut, asking for 8000, damn it! Go to hell! Whoever asks for my money, I'll take their life!"

Then, he was about to wake up.

"Hypnosis failed!" Jiang Li coldly watched the man wake up, knowing that if hypnosis makes someone do something strongly against their will, they will resist or even wake up.

Of course, it was because his mental cultivation was not enough. If it were Huanyi, she would directly crush the other's will, turning them into a zombie.

It seemed that the hypnosis technique was not yet proficient.

As soon as the man opened his eyes, Jiang Li grabbed his neck, squeezing tightly, making the man's face turn red and his legs kick.

"Transfer all the money in your card to me, or you will die!" Jiang Li did not use hypnosis but directly used violence to make the other submit. Then he loosened his grip, and the man immediately gasped for breath: "I am a member of the Sanlian Gang, you dare to rob me."

Jiang Li grabbed his neck again, squeezing tightly.

The man's face showed fear, nodding frantically, pleading, making a muffled sound.

Jiang Li loosened his grip: "Transfer the money quickly, I only give you one chance! The last one."

"I will, I will." The man immediately took out his chip and transferred the money according to Jiang Li's instructions, giving his password.

Ding!

8000 star coins arrived.

"Can you let me go now." The man was about to stand up.

Bang! Jiang Li hit him with another hand strike, this time harder, likely causing a concussion, possibly even brain damage. Seeing the man's mouth spitting white foam, trembling like an epileptic, he turned and left. He didn't care about such scum, not knowing how many people they had robbed. Since there was no legal punishment for them, Jiang Li didn't mind taking justice into his own hands, eliminating evil and maintaining order.

He quickly ran out of the station, and none of this attracted anyone's attention. In this city, robbery and murder were not uncommon, and who would care about such trivial matters?

Walking down the street, he found it somewhat amusing that his hypnosis was not as effective as violence.

"North Bridge Road, No. 83? This is it!"

After leaving the station, Jiang Li didn't even take a taxi, directly using the map to search. The taxis in "Xuhua City" were controlled by gangs, and one might be robbed or taken to another place. Many women who came to Xuhua City and took taxis were kidnapped and met with misfortune.

Continuously weaving through the city, Jiang Li had great stamina and moved very quickly. After more than an hour, he arrived in front of a building with about fifty floors. The building was beautifully decorated, the surroundings clean, even with a fountain, and dedicated staff to maintain it. In "Xuhua City," to have such a place, it must belong to a major force.

The surrounding thugs, gangsters, and criminals did not dare to come and harass.

This was one of the "underground black markets," a place to buy banned drugs.

It was called "Safety Building."

This was an online review, one of the few reputable underground black markets in Xuhua City, rumored to be the property of a military bigwig, smuggling banned drugs from the elite zone to make money in Xuhua City.

It was one of the major forces in Xuhua City, and gangsters coming to harass would be courting death.

"Sir, welcome. What would you like to buy?"

As soon as Jiang Li walked to the entrance, a beautiful female attendant approached, warmly welcoming him, a stark contrast to the cold and dark city, giving a sense of warmth.

"I am here to buy the super protein cell activation injection, which I saw online." Jiang Li did not hide his intentions.

"Oh, please follow me." The beautiful female attendant led the way, as 100,000 star coins was not a small amount, and it was a significant transaction.

Jiang Li followed the female attendant upstairs, floor by floor, and after about twenty floors, they arrived at a large hall of about 4,000 to 5,000 square meters. The hall was filled with crystal glass cabinets, each containing layers of drugs.

"Is this the Blood Brain Core?" Jiang Li browsed, feeling excited all over. He immediately saw a fist-sized fruit, blood-red, resembling a human brain, prominently displayed.

Online, he knew about this special fruit.

It was a fruit from a sacred tree on an extraterrestrial planet, rumored to be watered with pure human blood as a sacrifice, a totem of ancient natives.

The fruit resembled a blood-red brain.

If a person consumed this fruit, their brain cells would rapidly jump, and their mental power would surge, greatly benefiting cultivation.

Unfortunately, the price made Jiang Li hesitate: "5 million star coins."

He couldn't afford it even if he sold his life.

In addition, further inside, there were bottles of medicine, even more expensive. Jiang Li saw three bottles of medicine, each priced at over 10 million star coins.

"Elephant Gene Water!"

This was a gene-altering drug, a product of human high technology, combining elephant genes with human genes through various technological means. After injection, a person's genes would be enhanced, gaining part of the elephant's genes. For a year after injection, their body would be incredibly strong, with strength approaching that of an elephant.

However, this gene water had risks, with only a 50% success rate.

If the injection failed, it would be a waste of 10 million star coins, and there was a risk of gene conflict, leading to paralysis or even death.

Despite this, many wealthy people still bought it. After decades of hard cultivation, they still couldn't match a single injection, and the temptation was too great. Moreover, they could use it to train subordinates.

Don't look at Jiang Li's current vitality reaching 0.9, with extraordinary strength, but if he encountered someone who had injected the elephant gene water, one punch could send him flying.

"The super protein cell activation injection you want is here." The attendant led Jiang Li to a glass cabinet, where the greenish jade medicine was displayed in vials.

"Sir, how many do you want to buy?" The female attendant looked at Jiang Li, somewhat surprised. Super protein was a good thing, but the injection requirements were too high, as it could only be absorbed in the third stage of deep sleep.

Those who reached this level of mental cultivation were all experts.

"I'll buy one vial first."

"Sure, please wait a moment." The attendant took out the medicine, and Jiang Li began the transfer.

The transfer process was quick, and with a ding, 100,000 star coins disappeared, making Jiang Li's heart ache. His newly acquired fortune was almost gone, and he was almost penniless again. But thinking about the super protein cell activation injection in his hands, after injection, it could completely make up for the loss caused by fetal breathing, enhancing his life potential, it was worth it.

"Got it!"

With the greenish jade protein vial in hand, Jiang Li resisted the urge to inject it immediately and was about to leave.

"Brother, please wait a moment."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence approached, clearly a senior executive of the group, looking at Jiang Li.

"Ah..." Jiang Li turned around, looking into the other's eyes, hearing his voice, his vision became somewhat blurry.

He encountered a hypnotic technique!
