Chapter 104: Chapter 102: Can You Give Me 10 Billion?

[In this magic duel, Lin Hao picked up the "Vitality Stealing Secret Realm Key" from the wild cultivator who was betrayed by his companions.]

[Your control over the Vitality Stealing Secret Realm has slightly increased, but since the original owner still firmly controls this secret realm, you can only smuggle into it.]

Lin Hao: An item that’s useless to me.

But it’s okay, as long as this superpower user is around, I can keep grinding and grinding...

As long as I grind a few more times, something good will eventually drop.

Just as Lin Hao was thinking this, he saw the superpower user whom he had knocked unconscious, slowly shrivel until only a skin was left on the ground.

But soon, that skin inflated as if filled with air, slowly expanding back to its original form.

But this time, the "person" who inflated back was not the one who had just been knocked out, but his runaway patron, "Penman."

Lin Hao: Is it really that magical?

Penman: Where am I?

But Penman didn’t have much time to ponder or react as a strong impact hit the back of his neck.

Then, Penman passed out.

[In this magic duel, Lin Hao picked up ten pieces of mid-grade spirit stones from a wild cultivator who betrayed his companions.]

Patron Papa sure has money.

To ensure the duck he captured doesn’t fly away, even though Penman was now unconscious, Lin Hao half-squatted and delivered hand chops, hand chops, hand chops...

And he constantly monitored the fluctuations of the opponent’s spiritual power with divine thought to ensure it remained in a non-active state.

...

Whoosh.

Swish.

Pop.

Dog Legs felt himself crash into the treetop from mid-air, then fell headfirst to the ground.

After lying quietly on the ground for a while, Dog Legs slowly got up, looked around at his surroundings, and spat out the grass bits from his mouth...

Hahaha, escaped!

Just now, right before fainting, Dog Legs had undergone some psychological reconstitution and "accepted a new master"—

He was loyal to the Gluttonous Legislator, who was one of the seven legislators of the Extraordinary Universal School, with the seven legislators taking orders from the sole, mysterious chairman, with Penman being the spokesperson in the human world, so...

He should also be loyal to "Penman."

And as his loyal patron, Penman would surely care for and look after his subordinates, bravely facing danger first...

"Master really is considerate of his subordinates! Even swapped bodies with me, saving me from insignificance."

As he thought this, a strong sense of sadness and deep emotion surged in Dog Legs’ heart, but in his eyes...

Not a tear was shed.

Pop!

Dog Legs slapped himself hard a few times, and finally, a few tears welled up in his eyes.

With Master treating me like this, I must inherit everything from Master, and then avenge him in my lifetime, under the right conditions!

Feeling the originally faint master-servant bond between himself and Penman strengthening again, Dog Legs covered his face in sadness...

Master, hurry up and die, and pass all your powers to me, let my power rise another level!

With the rise of my power, I can better avenge you...

Of course, mainly because my "sorrow" can’t last too long.

To ensure his sadness, to feel "pain" over losing a new master, Dog Legs took off his shoes, walked barefoot on the ground in the direction away from Valve City.

He walked for a very long time, until every step left a bloody footprint, finally, he felt Penman’s death...

"No!!! Heaven, you can’t do this!!!"

Dog Legs knelt on the ground in agony, arms wide and head raised to the sky, eyes brimming with tears...

If a downpour were to come at this moment, it might feel even sadder, and the rain could conceal the boundless greed and longing deep in Dog Legs’ eyes.

Soon...

Soon he would inherit Penman’s power, and this power, is surely enough for him to bloom again.

When Dog Legs was about to inherit his master’s legacy and burst into a big laugh to the sky...

One minute...

"Why hasn’t Master’s legacy arrived?"

Two minutes...

"Did I walk a bit far from Valve City? Is there a delay in power transmission?"

Ten minutes later, Dog Legs slowly got up from the ground.

He didn’t know what went wrong, he clearly recognized a master, his master died, and he showed absolute loyalty, but where was his master’s power?

Where did it go?

Looking at the wounds all over his body, Dog Legs slowly knelt again, praying:

"Oh Gluttonous Legislator, please grant me vitality, so my wounds can heal."

After a few minutes, Dog Legs sat up on his knees, looking puzzled...

Why didn’t the Gluttonous Legislator respond to his prayers?

It shouldn’t be, right?

Did the essence of his powers get exposed?

It shouldn’t be, if the Gluttonous Legislator knew the essence of his powers, he’d have killed him long ago, why keep him around?

Dog Legs couldn’t figure out why things weren’t going smoothly today...

He was just about to brand Valve City’s mayor with loyalty, and Penman tripped him up...

He was just about to accept Penman’s legacy with a clear conscience, yet Penman’s legacy vanished who knows where...

He was just about to restore his vitality in the usual way, but why didn’t the Gluttonous Legislator respond to him...

After thinking for a long time, Dog Legs confirmed that he hadn’t exposed the essence of his abilities, then called the Gluttonous Legislator on a video call.

...

The Gluttonous Legislator looked at the video of the Dog Legs kneeling on the ground and listened to his narration.

"...

Master, that’s how it happened. The Penman stayed behind in Valve City to cover for me and confront that Extraordinary...

Judging from the attire of that Extraordinary, it should be the same person who killed the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior!

I’m not sure if the Penman is still alive, but I think our Extraordinary Universal School should show our attitude to Ke Chen City more quickly!"

After quickly recounting his experience in full to the Gluttonous Legislator, the Dog Legs cautiously asked:

"My most respected master, I wonder if I have displeased you."

"Why do you say that?" The Gluttonous Legislator asked weakly from his hospital bed.

"I just prayed to you, but did not receive a vitality response." The Dog Legs spoke with a tone of fear mixed with reverence, worried that the Gluttonous Legislator might interpret it as a question.

"What!"

This sentence made the Gluttonous Legislator sit up from the bed.

He stared at the screen, word by word asking:

"You can no longer receive vitality feedback from my Secret Realm?"

"Yes, Master! Suddenly, I can’t!"

"Damn it, I knew something was amiss! There really is something wrong!

Dog Legs, stop everything you’re doing and come back for a check-up!"

After hanging up the phone, the Gluttonous Legislator’s expression was extremely sinister.

He bit into the air fiercely, then looked at the Vitality Secret Realm displayed before him.

In the Vitality Secret Realm, it was still filled with the rich vitality gathered by his subordinates, seemingly unchanged...

But his feeling couldn’t be wrong, and the fact that Dog Legs can no longer connect with this Secret Realm can’t be wrong either.

You see, he has planted a "Vital Secret Realm Seed" in all his high-ranking subordinates. Normally, his leaders could ask him to grant them vitality.

But when necessary, all his subordinates could become part of the Vitality Secret Realm...

This "seed" is extremely hidden, planted in everyone’s core, why would it be removed?

Even if other legislators thoroughly examine the bodies of his subordinates, they might not see it.

Ke Chen City...

What kind of figures have appeared?

But now, it’s about time, can’t give the opponent more space to grow.

The Gluttonous Legislator took a deep breath, the strength of the Vitality Secret Realm surged into his body like a tide, his shriveled, age-spotted skin began to plump up and his hair grew black again, making him look youthful...

And at the entrance, rich vitality originally obscuring visibility, after being devoured by the Gluttonous Legislator, exposed the sight of...

Corpses everywhere.

But such a scene quickly vanished, once again covered by dense vitality.

The rejuvenated Gluttonous Legislator tore off all the instruments monitoring his life data, opened the ward door, and said to the security guard who had been guarding the door:

"Ten minutes later, hold a meeting, expedite the occupation of Ke Chen City, no more waiting."

...

Honestly, this person recovers quite fast.

After eating a few Vitality Replenishing Pills, his injuries nearly fully healed.

Then...

This self-proclaimed mayor of Valve City was just comforting his wife and daughter, not questioning or stopping his actions.

Wake up the Penman...

Hand chop.

Wake up...

Hand chop.

Wake up...

Hand chop.

After confirming there’s nothing left to pick up, Lin Hao asked the Valve City Mayor if he had any plans for the Penman.

The Valve City Mayor returned to his desk, looked at the Penman who was awakened again and already lethargic, and said:

"Do you have anything to confess to me?"

A strange power emanated from the Valve City Mayor, with a kind of authoritative majesty, compelling anyone who heard it to involuntarily want to reveal their secrets.

But before the Penman could speak, his body cracked and then shattered into fine sand.

Valve City Mayor:...

Lin Hao Incarnation:...

"Looks like the Extraordinary Universal School’s secrecy remains consistent."

As if anticipating this situation, the Valve City Mayor looked at Lin Hao and asked:

"Brother... you saved me, may I ask, what do you need?"

"Anything?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said:

"Can Valve City let me toss around like before, before you detain all the Extraordinary Universal School members in the city?"

"No problem, looks like you have deep grievances with the Extraordinary Universal School. Anything else you need?"

"Also... I want a place to stay here, preferably next to Valve City’s stray dog shelter, and if possible, can there be more matchmaking events near the stray dog shelter?"

Although the strangely dressed guy’s request was puzzling, the Valve City Mayor still agreed and asked:

"No problem, anything else?"

"Can you give me ten billion?" Lin Hao Incarnation tentatively asked.

Valve City Mayor: ???
