Chapter 75

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

A tall, handsome man, about 185 centimeters tall, appeared at the door, carrying the largest biological backpack.

Although he had a delicate face, his demeanor was unique. Most of the time, he gave off an impression of composure and calmness that belied his age.

There was a hint of violence and ruthlessness in his brows, and occasionally, his eyes would flash with a highly aggressive gaze, like that of an injured lone wolf.

Seeing him, the curly-haired man and the others couldn't help but feel relieved. The boss was back. Although Wang Ge wasn't the owner of the Brothers Black Store, apart from the curly-haired man who had been used to listening to him since childhood, White Hair and Little Braid had also unknowingly placed Wang Ge in the position of leader.

Brother Wang is becoming more and more dominant... White Hair and Little Braid were filled with envy. They had once dreamed of becoming the boss themselves, but they never thought their dream would be realized by Wang Ge.

Brother Wang's life level has improved, and his status as the boss is rising like a sesame flower in full bloom... The two short men, Tire and Spare, secretly grumbled. When Brother Wang was still a Level 5 life form, he was only 175 centimeters tall, but now, as a Level 7 life form, he had grown to 185 centimeters. How are we supposed to live?

After entering the Galactic Era, the overall physical fitness of humans has greatly improved, and the average height standard for men over 20 years old is 180 centimeters.

Tire, Spare, and the former Wang Ge were all below the average height, but now Wang Ge was above the standard.

"Boss, today is a big harvest!" The curly-haired man looked at Wang Ge's deformed biological backpack, feeling both happy and bitter. He was happy that Wang Ge had finally become a strong person and no longer needed protection.

But he, who had once been the pillar, had become a cripple. Although he had accepted this fact, he still felt bitter when comparing himself.

"Still okay, but it's a pity this bug bear is too big. If I bring it back, we'll have to finish work early, but if I don't bring it back, it's too much of a waste." Wang Ge smiled.

"Ah... Ah!" The mad dog, who had almost been forgotten, suddenly let out a long, suppressed roar, as if he were constipated. He finally managed to lift the bug bear's body a bit and then crawled out with all his strength.

"You—!" The mad dog, in great pain, glared at Wang Ge with a vicious look. "You dare to trick me? Do you know who I am?"

The mad dog usually didn't make sense.

He only made sense when he felt uncertain.

"Who tricked you?" Wang Ge's smile vanished, and he put on a zombie-like expression. "Didn't you want to buy a bug bear? I just hunted one. Hurry up, do you want to buy it or not? Give me a straight answer!"

Bending over to catch his breath, the mad dog pointed at Wang Ge, unable to speak. His face was uncertain, and his gaze finally fell on the bug bear. Suddenly, he laughed. "I'll buy it! Of course, I'll buy it! I'll take this bug bear. What's your price?"

"Alright, a fixed price, 100,000 Solar Coins!" Wang Ge casually walked over, hands in his pockets, and stepped on the bug bear's head.

"100,000? Too expensive!" The mad dog's face darkened. He bent forward, as if to haggle, but suddenly punched Wang Ge's abdomen with all his might.

"Be careful—" White Hair and Little Braid hurriedly warned, but it was too late. Their hearts sank. Oh no!

"Bang!"

A dull sound, and the mad dog fell to the ground like a dead dog, his head cracking the ground.

Of course, his head was now like a blood gourd, covered in blood. Although he wasn't dead, he was barely breathing.

Wang Ge's foot remained on the mad dog's head, still in the same posture with his hands in his pockets, but a mocking smile appeared on his zombie-like face.

What happened? Except for the curly-haired man, the other four didn't see clearly. They just saw a blur, and then the mad dog was on the ground...

The curly-haired man was deeply shocked. Because he had been busy with the competition, he hadn't seen Wang Ge's battle with Iron Face and didn't know that Wang Ge had mastered the [Battle Axe Leg] from the Three Chopping Techniques. He also didn't know that Wang Ge had killed Water Brother. His understanding of Wang Ge's strength was still from the match against Iron Fish, who had used the Twelve Road Tan Leg.

So the curly-haired man always thought Wang Ge's strength was about the same as his, or only slightly better. Even after he learned that Wang Ge had killed the doctor and Water Brother, he still didn't have a clear concept.

But now, seeing Wang Ge kick the mad dog, a Level 9 life form, to the ground like a fly, the curly-haired man was filled with awe.

When did Brother Wang become so strong... The curly-haired man imagined himself in the mad dog's position. Even at his strongest, he would have ended up the same way, like a dead dog.

Wang Ge's powerful kick to the mad dog's head would have crushed his skull if it weren't for the bad luck of having a dead body in the store.

"Without 100,000, why the hell are you even shopping in a black store?" Wang Ge sneered, kicked the mad dog, who was like a dead dog, and sent him flying out the open door.

"Bang!" The mad dog fell face-first on the ground outside, truly becoming a "dead dog."

In the neighboring and opposite black stores, there were prying eyes, secretly observing the situation outside. When they saw the mad dog being kicked out, half of these eyes disappeared.

The mad dog lay on the ground, bleeding from his head and broken ribs, blood gushing from his seven orifices. He was both angry and afraid, thinking of the person who had hired him. He slowly raised his head, searching for his employer.

When he raised his head, the prying eyes in the other black stores instantly disappeared.

A gust of wind blew, making the mad dog shiver. He sadly realized that he had been abandoned, like a loathsome stray dog...

"White Hair, Little Braid, clean the floor!" Wang Ge patted the two wooden-like figures, waking them up, then went over and put his arm around the curly-haired man's shoulder, smiling. "This should keep us from having any more trouble for a while."

"I was worried about what to do when you were about to advance to the A-level competition, but now it seems I was worrying for nothing." The curly-haired man also smiled, his trembling hand forming a weak fist and lightly tapping Wang Ge's chest.

This was their old habit. In the past, the curly-haired man had to hold back, afraid of hurting Wang Ge. But now, even with all his strength, it was like tickling Wang Ge.

Wang Ge's heart ached, and he forced a smile. "Come, let's see what we have today! Besides the bug bear, there are quite a few other things, and I also dug up some medicinal herbs."

As he spoke, he took off the biological backpack, and Tire and Spare came over to help open it and lay out the contents for inventory...

"Zhu Yan Fruit, Nine Dragon Vine, Mutated Wolf King Spider... Not bad, not bad. It looks like we can try the Black Market Auction this time." The curly-haired man smiled at Wang Ge's harvest. "Brother, we have three more days, it's all up to you."

The curly-haired man explained the details of the Black Market Auction to Wang Ge again. Wang Ge nodded. "If so, we definitely have to participate. Three days is enough. If necessary, I'll work every day. By the way, I still have a Fei Peng Grass that I can bring out to impress the crowd."

As he spoke, Wang Ge took out the Fei Peng Grass. Originally, there were two, and he had given one to the Ye family, leaving the other one.

"Great!" The curly-haired man took the Fei Peng Grass, surprised. "There was a bounty for Fei Peng Grass recently. It will definitely be in high demand at the auction."

Wang Ge nodded. In half a month, he would leave the Mountain City Base to go to the Yan Yun Base with his sister, Wang Fei, to attend university. So he was determined to stabilize the situation at the Brothers Black Store before he left, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave with peace of mind.

The bases built by Earthlings on other administrative planets are named after ancient civilizations that once existed on Earth, such as the Tang Base, Zhou Base, Byzantine Base, Babylon Base, etc.

The Yan Huang Base on Venus is the first base built by Earthlings on an extraterrestrial planet and is also the largest base on Venus.

The transparent [Eco-Protection Energy Dome] comes from the secrets of Atlantis, not only protecting the safety of the humans in the base but also providing livable conditions.

Although life forms of a certain level can survive in oxygen-free environments, most people are still ordinary, so the eco-protection dome is a necessary safeguard for every base.

In a beautiful green estate, a middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty, was slowly practicing an improved version of the [Health-Preserving Tai Chi]. It had no offensive power but was excellent for health and longevity.

Young people wouldn't be willing to practice this health-preserving Tai Chi because it was too slow and required a lot of patience. But the middle-aged man's face was calm and composed, moving with the flow of the movements as if he were part of nature.

He wore a modern Hanfu with an ancient and elegant style, adding to his refined and ancient demeanor.

When he finished his set of movements and retracted his stance, the young man watching him couldn't help but clap. "Dad, your Tai Chi is becoming more and more like a master's."

These two were the father and son, Medicine King Mu Qingshan and Mu Yuanjie, and this was Mu Qingshan's residence.

"You're just flattering me." Mu Qingshan smiled and shook his head, then walked on the soft, lush grass, deliberately asking, "Yuanjie, how is Uncle Ye's health now?"

"Dad, Uncle Ye has fully recovered and said he would visit you in a couple of days." Mu Yuanjie smiled, as curing Ye Xiu's illness added to his credentials.

"Ha ha, that's good, that's good. By the way, how is your observation of that young man, Wang Ge?" Mu Qingshan asked casually but stopped and turned to look at Mu Yuanjie, who was following behind.
