Martial Arts Manual

"What? It's a genuine original?"

Mao Lili exclaimed, her pretty face instantly flushing red. Liu Mengran and the other two looked at her strangely. The bet alone was enough to make their legs weak just thinking about it. Now, let's see how you'll get out of this.

Inside the revealed scroll, a lifelike fierce tiger lay on the ground. The tiger's eyes even reflected a human silhouette, with the facial features of the figure faintly visible.

Such divine artistry was undoubtedly the work of a top master.

"Heh heh... take a look at the authenticity of this painting, and then give me a price!"

"What? Kid, you... you're saying you want to sell this treasure to my Jubaozhai?"

The shop owner stared at Lu Fan in disbelief. Wouldn't treasures like this fetch the highest profit at an auction?

"Of course I'm selling it, otherwise why would I bring it to your shop!"

The two old men exchanged glances and lowered their heads to discuss in hushed tones.

One minute later, the price they offered stunned Liu Mengran and the four girls.

"Thank you for your trust, kid. Honestly, this Crouching Tiger Painting would fetch the highest profit if sold at auction in Hong Kong."

"This painting has been confirmed as a genuine original by Tang Yin, and it's the lost original Crouching Tiger Painting."

"After discussing it with Old Yang, we estimate the starting bid for this painting will be around thirty million. We can't say for sure what price it will fetch at auction."

"So, I'll give you a fair price with potential for increase: forty million. What do you say, kid..."

Lu Fan was only slightly taken aback by the figure of forty million. This price clearly exceeded his expectations.

However, Liu Mengran and the other three, who came from ordinary families, were directly frightened by the terrifying sum. The four girls covered their mouths, their bodies trembling with excitement.

"Forty million! Oh my god!"

"Alright, deal. Transfer the money!"

Lu Fan took out his phone and placed a photo of his bank card on the table. The Jubaozhai owner's expression brightened, and he excitedly took out his phone to operate it.

Beside them, the old man who unveiled the painting looked enviously at his old friend who had secured this peerless masterpiece. If it weren't for the rules, he would have wanted to add money to buy it.

In just a few short minutes, Lu Fan's phone received a notification of a balance change.

Lu Fan also looked at the small shop with new eyes. Although the shop was small, its cash flow was no less than that of a large company.

Lu Fan showed Liu Mengran the bank balance notification on his phone to brag. Liu Mengran stared at the long string of numbers displayed and was completely stunned.

Lu Fan had made over ten million playing online gambling last night, and today he went shopping and earned another forty million. Was he even human?

"Treasure, I'm planning to buy a supercar. The money is here now! Hahaha..."

As Lu Fan laughed, his gaze meaningfully swept over Mao Lili. The girl shivered violently, and she guiltily hid behind Liu Mengran.

After leaving Jubaozhai, Liu Mengran and the others still had expressions of disbelief. They wouldn't have dared to dream of what had just happened, but it had truly occurred before their eyes.

"Little sister Lili, do you want to go to my apartment to scrub backs, or go to your dorm? I don't mind either way!"

Lu Fan said with a smile, looking at the guilty Mao Lili. The girl didn't dare to take a breath, just afraid that Lu Fan would cause trouble for her.

"Ah! Lu Fan, I..."

"What? Are you trying to renege on the bet?"

"Who... who said I'm reneging? It's just scrubbing backs, it's not like you're going to do that to me. I'm not afraid of scrubbing!"

Lu Fan's words directly ignited Mao Lili's competitive spirit. The girl pretended to be calm and looked directly at Lu Fan, but anyone could see the fear in her eyes.

"Hahaha..."

Lu Fan laughed and put his arm around Liu Mengran's waist as they left. Although he really wanted to earn some points in Panjiayuan, he clearly didn't have enough time now.

It wasn't easy to bring Liu Mengran out, so he couldn't let her return empty-handed.

Just as they were leaving Panjiayuan and preparing to go to the large shopping mall next door, Lu Fan's gaze fixed on a book stall at the entrance.

"Are these... Martial Arts Manuals?"

Lu Fan squatted down at the stall. Seeing a customer arrive, the stall owner's old face broke into a wide smile.

"Young man, these are genuine Martial Arts Manuals. Ten yuan each, pick whatever you like. Who knows, you might become a martial arts master by practicing according to the contents."

Liu Mengran and the other three looked speechlessly at Lu Fan's foolish behavior. Martial Arts Manuals? Was he going to say next that the task of saving the world would fall to him?

"Are they really Martial Arts Manuals?"

Lu Fan casually picked up a copy of the One Yang Finger Martial Arts Manual and asked the owner. However, the others didn't notice the excited glint in his eyes.

"Of course, this is the One Yang Finger Martial Arts Manual. Kato Eagle became famous with it back in the day."

The owner's words left Lu Fan dumbfounded. Liu Mengran and the other three looked at the stall owner inexplicably. You're trying to fool people, but at least do your research!

"Boss, isn't One Yang Finger the unique skill of the Dali Duan family in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils? And wasn't Kato Eagle an adult film actor?"

"Uh... my apologies, young man. I'm old and my memory isn't good. I got confused, confused..."

The boss awkwardly scratched his head. Lu Fan readily took out his phone and scanned the QR code, buying three Martial Arts Manuals on the spot.

They were the One Yang Finger, the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, and Lingbo Weibu. Lu Fan had specifically chosen these to confirm his suspicions.

If these manuals became real with the system's enhancement, then the One Yang Finger would focus on attack, the Northern Darkness Divine Skill could absorb others' internal energy for his use, and Lingbo Weibu was the ultimate lightness skill, allowing one to walk on air when cultivated to the extreme.

Liu Mengran and the others were already used to Lu Fan's ridiculous actions; their morals were being shattered by following him.

Fortunately, Lu Fan only spent thirty yuan this time, so Liu Mengran and the others didn't say anything sarcastic.

As for those Martial Arts Manuals, Liu Mengran and the other three weren't even interested in looking at them. Didn't they see the words "People's Publishing House" printed on the books?

"This young master made a fortune today. Next, each of you three can pick one item, and I'll pay for it, as long as it's not over ten thousand yuan."

Lu Fan's words sent Mao Lili, Li Qian, and He Lu into a state of ecstatic joy. Liu Mengran gave him a charmingly exasperated look.

This guy kept showering her good sisters with gifts; she was afraid her three roommates would soon be actively pushing her towards his apartment.

With limited time left at the mall, Lu Fan directly led the four girls to a Chanel store.

"Babies, pick whatever you want today to your heart's content. This young master isn't short on money!"

Lu Fan pushed Liu Mengran, who was staring intently at the beautiful clothes, forward. Liu Mengran and the others cheered and rushed into the Chanel clothing section.

When it comes to buying pretty clothes, it seemed like all women in the world were the same: they never thought they had enough.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Lu!"

Exiting the Chanel store, Mao Lili, Li Qian, and He Lu each carried a bag containing the clothes Lu Fan had paid for.

The three girls looked at Lu Fan with excitement, his figure practically glowing in their eyes.

The cheapest items the three girls had were over six thousand yuan each, and Mao Lili had even picked out a dress worth ten thousand yuan.

This was the first time such a price had appeared in her life; the clothes in her dorm room were all cheap items costing dozens or hundreds of yuan.
