Advantage is Mine!

The violent impulses within Liu Erlong began to stir.

Crimson soul power flowed along the blade, burning winding, charred marks into the floorboards.

This was not a temper that could be quelled by a mere two bowls of mung bean soup.

Chu Men's pupils constricted: Sister, don't be impulsive, you have to uphold martial virtue!

With the amplification of the battle armor, you wouldn't even be afraid of taking on a Soul Douluo right now, so bullying a lowly Soul Ancestor like me...

Isn't that giving me too much credit!

Chu Men waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! Sister Erlong, my fragile frame can't withstand a single strike from your sword! Besides, it's already pitch black out, all this fighting and killing..."

"Enough nonsense!"

"You can spend half the night strolling through the night market with a little girl, but you want to dodge when it comes to sparring with me?"

Liu Erlong hoisted her greatsword, closing in step by step.

Whether it was the excitement triggered by the battle armor or the jealousy that had sprouted while waiting, it was hard to say.

In any case, driven by the fire in her heart, her face was written with pure battle intent!

Her combat boots clicked against the floorboards.

The pressure of a Fire Dragon was released, faint yet present. As she raised the greatsword, the leaping crimson flames on the blade turned Chu Men's face pale.

The residual heat of the sword qi washed directly over Chu Men's face:

"Since you made this battle armor, you naturally have to test it yourself. Otherwise, how will I know if it's any good?"

Her voice was wild and bewitching, so dangerous it made one want to fly into the flames like a moth!

The viewers in the livestream were just there for the show:

[Sister Erlong is right! If the streamer is a man, go for it! Beat him up!]

[Don't worry, streamer! Every cent of the money that should be burned will be burned for you, go in peace!]

[That's right, if you can't even handle a little Liu Erlong, why bother starting a harem? You might as well just honestly follow my Xiao Wu!]

[Damn, the Wu Sect party is really shameless, right? Dragon Gate Faction, get on it!]

Watching Liu Erlong draw ever closer, Chu Men made a decision—

Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!

He scooped up Xiao Wu, who was drooling in her sleep on the sofa, burst forth with soul power, stepped onto the windowsill, vaulted into the backyard, and dashed toward the bedroom in a blur.

Locking the door and closing the windows, all in one smooth motion!

Say what you will, he had been a kidnapper before; his movements were nothing if not agile!

[Liu Erlong: Looking around in confusion after drawing her sword! Hahaha!]

[The streamer's ability to just pick someone up and run is truly a unique talent among kidnappers!]

[It's not easy to start a harem; unless the heroines are all vases, there will be plenty of drama to watch later on!]

"Sister Erlong, your disciple Xiao Wu is sleeping soundly. If you wake her up and she starts crying, you'll be the one who has to coax her!"

Chu Men let out a long breath and said with a cheeky grin.

From outside the door came Liu Erlong's voice, sounding both angry and amused: "You coward, don't you dare be late for morning training tomorrow."

Pfft~, who are you trying to scare!

Chu Men decided to give himself a day off tomorrow morning and get some good rest at home.

He leaned against the door panel, listening to the movement outside, and patted his chest in secret relief.

Hmph, this female tyrannosaurus, I shouldn't have designed any battle armor for her in the first place!

After a while, he heard the sound of the armor being retracted, followed by the noise of a door opening and closing.

Liu Erlong wasn't one for schemes, so Chu Men quietly cracked the door open.

Sure enough, the front shop was empty, though the heat had yet to dissipate.

A note was left on the table, written in Liu Erlong's bold, sweeping handwriting:

"I am very satisfied with the battle armor! Tomorrow morning, Forest Cabin, no running away. Otherwise, I'll tear down your doghouse!"

At the end, she had drawn a simple, cute little Fire Dragon, its tail curled up in a crooked line.

Chu Men was the one who had taught her how to draw that stick figure.

Chu Men clutched the note, a wicked smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Run? Why would he run?

If he couldn't beat her before, it was because his strength was lacking, but now...

He would let her see what a dimensionality-reduction strike from modern industry looked like!

[Yo-ho! There's going to be a good show at tomorrow's morning training!]

[My Sister Erlong is invincible!]

Chu Men arrived at the workshop of the Star Soul Guidance Shop, sat down on a swivel chair with wheels, and tapped his fingertips unconsciously against the edge of the table.

Level forty against level seventy—the advantage is mine!

But as the old saying goes, despise the enemy strategically, but take them seriously tactically!

Chu Men activated his livestreaming system and looked at the numbers on the account:

"Livestream Points: 2.5 million (continuously settling)"

Good grief, the audience is quite supportive, though the number isn't exactly auspicious.

As Chu Men reviewed the cash flow from the past few days, he calculated his shopping list:

As expected, money is just meant to be burned!

Tomorrow, he would be facing Liu Erlong wearing the Fire Dragon Battle Armor, a combatant at the Soul Douluo level. Relying solely on his martial soul and soul power definitely wouldn't be enough!

He still had to rely on the power of technology!

Chu Men took out a sheet of blank paper and wrote with his pen:

Level, Inversion Pen, Soul Guidance Devices.

He drew a large brace after "Soul Guidance Devices" and wrote: Firearms, Potions, Soul Guidance Batteries.

The focus for firearms would be machine guns, rocket launchers, and high-explosive grenades—the kind of gear that is easy for a single person to operate!

For potions, he needed positive ones like adrenaline, as well as negative ones like anesthetics, sedatives, and even potent sleeping pills!

Side effects didn't matter.

With a quick inversion, he could derive an entire "drug-popping" combat style!

That's the plan!

Chu Men's pen flew across the paper. He quickly finished the item list, opened his private message interface, and sent it to A-Zheng.

He obviously couldn't go to A-Zheng for firearms and prescription drugs.

Chu Men spent a great deal of effort searching through the massive volume of private messages in his backend until he found a foreign fan named Anna.

Anna's ID: Arms Queen!

Her profile picture was a blonde, blue-eyed girl wearing overalls, her hands stained with black machine oil, cradling a long sniper rifle in her arms.

Her private message content was quite comprehensive, almost like a resume.

According to her, her family was the largest arms-dealing clan in Northern Europe, possessing extremely extensive procurement channels; all sorts of contraband were no problem for them.

Her interest in collaborating was very strong!

So, why stand on ceremony?

Chu Men started with a conversation-ender:

"Are you there?"

"Yes! Mr. Chu Men, is there anything I can help you with?"

Anna replied in a second.

Chu Men sent over the list filled with firearms and medicine:

"You can see my situation from the livestream, so I won't say much more. Can you get these things?"

"No problem!"

Still a second-long reply.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chu Men's system warehouse received several large crates sent by Anna.

The efficiency was terrifying!

Chu Men raised an eyebrow and asked:

"We haven't even discussed the price yet, and you've already shipped the goods? There are restrictions on me sending things to the real world; these goods can't be returned."

"It's just a bit of hardware, no big deal! I'm your loyal fan and a member of the Dragon Gate Faction, after all!"

"Ahem, business is business. You should still name a price."

"Fine. Actually, I prefer bartering. To be honest, our Carter Family is very interested in the soul guidance devices from your side."

Chu Men frowned:

"There are restrictions on that. I can only send items from the gift list. You should have seen them; they are all harmless civilian goods. I'm afraid they won't be of much help."

"It doesn't matter. In the future, when you hold a giveaway, could you occasionally designate me as a winner? You don't know how popular your livestream gifts are over here; I can't snatch them up at all! Wuwu~~"

After Anna finished playing the victim, she said pitifully, "Consider this batch of arms an advance payment. I'm not short on money, but I really want gifts from the Douluo World!"

Chu Men calculated silently. Although he had plenty of livestream points on hand, the price of contraband like firearms was not low.
