"First Hong, right?"
Ning Rongrong asked bluntly—
"Why are your first and second spirit rings both thousand-year rings?"
Everyone stopped talking and pricked up their ears.
They were all extremely curious about how First Hong had broken that ironclad rule.
First Hong glanced at Ning Rongrong, looking down at the flat expanse before him.
Tsk!
You might be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but this was Shrek.
He retorted without politeness, "Is it appropriate to directly ask about something that's obviously a secret?"
Ning Rongrong's expression changed slightly, but she quickly broke into a radiant smile.
She might have been spoiled, but she wasn't stupid.
In fact, she had very high standards.
If she could figure out a way to increase Spirit Ring Age, she would definitely earn herself great credit in front of her father and grandfathers!
She immediately said grandly, "Name your price. How many Gold Soul Coins will it take for you to tell me?"
To First Hong's ears, those words automatically translated to—I'm a sucker with money to burn. Come fleece me!
Well.
He really did have a way to increase Spirit Ring Age—Whale Rubber.
It came from whale-type soul beasts and could strengthen the body, thereby increasing Spirit Ring Age.
If used by an individual, it would merely increase their Spirit Ring Age and raise their potential.
But if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect obtained it, their foundation would soar dramatically.
If he asked too little, he would feel bad.
If he asked too much, Ning Rongrong couldn't afford it, and it might even bring trouble down on him.
He would earn some interest first.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and I'll give you a chance to make a deal."
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were fine with it, since they had both been born into wealthy families.
But Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had never seen much of the world, widened their eyes!
Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?
Just for a chance?
Were you—
"Deal!"
Ning Rongrong pulled out a Gold Card and handed it to First Hong.
"This is a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Gold Card. You can use it at businesses under the sect's name or withdraw cash with it."
"There are over ten thousand Gold Soul Coins on it. They're all yours."
"Now tell me, how are we making this deal?"
First Hong put away the Gold Card and secretly sighed that he had named too low a price.
He smacked his lips.
"I don't know the exact formula either. My family gave me medicine like that ever since I was little."
Ning Rongrong: ↓
You don't even have the formula, so what price were you naming?
Ning Rongrong didn't care about ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
But being treated like a fool and fleeced was another matter entirely!
Before she could explode, First Hong added—
"When I go home next time, I'll ask my elders and see whether they're willing to sell it."
"If that doesn't work, I can steal a few doses out for you. We can discuss the price then."
The curse that had reached Ning Rongrong's lips got stuck there, and she couldn't force it out.
If she cursed him—
The deal would definitely fall through.
Even if she only got a single dose of medicine, she might still have a chance to reverse-engineer the formula.
But if she didn't curse him—
She felt awful!
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she could throw her weight around however she pleased. She could hit whoever she wanted and curse whoever she wanted.
When had she ever suffered such pent-up frustration?
She was so torn that the finger she pointed at him trembled violently.
First Hong chuckled. He had her completely under control.
He turned his attention to the livestream.
The two God Kings of Destruction had finished talking.
"God King of Destruction 001": Was I really wrong? "God King of Destruction 002": We were not wrong, but Life and I are about to enter slumber. The God Realm cannot lose the Asura God King as well. Give up on killing Him. "God King of Destruction 001": Sigh. So be it. Streamer, the pursuit order is revoked.
First Hong looked around. Everyone was nearby.
He tried replying with his thoughts—
Alright, Big Shot Number One. Can you hear me?
But God King of Destruction 001 did not respond.
He had assumed the other party hadn't heard him.
"God King of Destruction 002": He can hear you. He probably went to find Life and has no time to reply.
Looking at the list again, only one viewer remained.
God King of Destruction 001 had just left?
As long as he didn't mention a refund, anything was fine.
"God King of Destruction 002": I must also ignite the power of creation. Before I depart, I shall grant you a fortunate opportunity. User "God King of Destruction 002" sent gift: "Destruction Divine Sense" ×1 User "God King of Destruction 002" sent gift: "Life Ancient Tree Sap" ×1 User "God King of Destruction 002" sent gift: "Divine Skill: World-Destroying Finger" ×1
God King of Destruction 002 logged off immediately.
But that wasn't important!
First Hong hurriedly checked the Livestream Vault. All three items were there.
They even came with helpful descriptions.
Destruction Divine Sense: A strand of the God King of Destruction's divine sense. Once activated, it can unleash a world-destroying strike. No one beneath godhood can withstand it!
Life Ancient Tree Sap: A drop of sap from the Life God King's true body. It can regrow flesh from white bones and revive the dead!
Divine Skill: World-Destroying Finger: The first form of the Three Forms of Destruction, the God King of Destruction's ultimate trump card!
A one-shot invincibility move!
A revival token!
And a divine skill!
This Big Shot Number Two was absurdly generous!
First Hong impatiently extracted the Divine Skill: World-Destroying Finger.
The relevant information surged into his mind.
As naturally as breathing, he mastered the divine skill.
Of course.
At his current level, he definitely could not unleash the divine skill's full power. He could only use a weakened version, and its consumption was outrageous.
After using it, he would be crippled.
No problem.
Once his level was higher, he could naturally use it more often.
With the Destruction Divine Sense in hand, his confidence instantly swelled.
He straightened his back, and even his walk seemed to carry a breeze.
Now, this young master fears no one!
Tang Great Hammer? Qian Daoliu? If they dared come, he would send them straight to death!
Heh heh heh!
This sudden surge in presence made Ning Rongrong, who had been sulking, narrow her eyes.
For a moment just now, she had thought Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa had arrived.
This guy was not simple!
Forget it.
It was only ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. She would just treat it as throwing money into the water to hear a splash.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at First Hong and said no more.
Just as one person left, another came over.
Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to approach him and asked coldly—
"Can that medicine be sold separately?"
"I don't want the formula. I only want the medicine."
First Hong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and his gaze involuntarily drifted downward.
It was a man's natural instinct. He didn't want to do it either.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and considered how to answer.
This question was very pale—no, it was very big.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed First Hong's gaze but did not react.
In order to become stronger—
She could even give someone as scummy as Dai Mubai a chance.
A few looks were nothing worth worrying about.
User "God of Speed" entered the livestream.
God of Speed?
Wasn't that Zhu Zhuqing after becoming a god in the future?
Welcome, God of Speed.
First Hong called out in his mind—
Perfect timing. Your younger self is asking me about increasing her Spirit Ring Age. How should I answer her?
If you don't understand, you can click to watch the replay.
"God of Speed": A livestream from ten thousand years ago? "God of Speed": Let me take a look.
A few seconds later.
"God of Speed": This really is miraculous. "God of Speed": It was when I had just joined Shrek. "God of Speed": Streamer, ask Zhu Zhuqing how much she weighs. Just say there are restrictions on the medicine.
Ask her weight?
He figured she was testing whether it was real.
After all, weight was an absolute taboo for girls, especially well-endowed girls.
First Hong looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"There are weight restrictions for preparing the medicine. How much do you weigh right now?"
Even someone as cool and aloof as Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for several seconds.
She tugged First Hong by the sleeve and pulled him slightly behind the others.
Only then did she whisper, "One hundred and ten jin."
Good heavens!
Zhu Zhuqing was half a head shorter than him, around 1.65 meters tall, yet she weighed that much?
The places that were supposed to have meat were seriously over the limit.
Exquisite!
"God of Speed": That's right. That's the number. "God of Speed": Streamer, can you do me a few favors? User "God of Speed" sent gift: "Blessing of the God of Speed" ×1
A gift before asking for help. How proper.
First Hong withdrew the item, and his body suddenly felt lighter.
Blessing of the God of Speed: Permanently increases speed by 100%.
As a meeting gift, it was not bad.
You're too kind, Big Shot. What do you need the streamer to do?
Then First Hong was dumbfounded.
Are you sure about these requests?
