[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Forced Learning Collar (Disguised Version), Peerless Douluo Experience Card (five minutes remaining)] [Forced Learning Collar (Disguised Version): A masterwork of the Lightning Dharma King. Learning efficiency increased tenfold! Study time can be freely set—00:00] [Peerless Douluo Experience Card (five minutes remaining): After activation, grants the strength of a level 99 Titled Douluo for five minutes.]

That was it? Shouldn't there have been three rewards?

"Xiaomi?"

[Newbie benefits have ended.]

So that was how it was. He had thought there would be three rewards every time.

But what exactly had he gotten this time?

Why did that Forced Learning Collar look a little improper? Why did it resemble some mysterious little device he had seen before?

Forget it. Why think so much about it?

He should head over to Liu Erlong's place first and get the hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber back. That was a good treasure.

Thankfully, this was still Soul Land One.

Otherwise, such a good treasure probably would not have been so easy to obtain. Fortunately, he felt no burden about scamming Liu Erlong.

Just like Bibi Dong, who had been so arrogant before.

He felt absolutely no pressure!

If the system had not already upgraded to level two, he might have already put it on her—thinking about it now, he felt a little regretful.

[Liu Erlong: Are you here yet? Do you still want this thing? "Image"] [Already an Uncle: Are you already in the secret chamber? I'll be there right away.]

Seeing that Liu Erlong had begun urging him,

Du Bei stopped dawdling. He went straight to the door and seamlessly connected into the secret chamber where Liu Erlong was.

"..."

Spirit Hall.

Bathroom.

A soft exhale came from within.

"I've broken through to level 99..."

Bibi Dong, dressed in thin gauze, reached up and touched the necklace around her neck, her gaze inscrutable.

She had not expected it to be much faster than anticipated.

She had originally thought it would take several more months, but so much time had been skipped just like that.

She stood up and casually draped a blanket over herself.

She walked over to the edge of the pool and sat down, taking out the Immortal Herb that resembled crimson flames once more and examining it carefully.

"Is this the Immortal Herb that Liu Erlong needs? I wonder what effect it would have on other people."

Her fingers gently pinched the cockscomb-shaped tip of a blade of grass.

It was not as though she had never considered consuming this Immortal Herb herself, but the faint rejection emitted by her martial soul ultimately made Bibi Dong abandon that thought.

Fortunately, among this round of rewards,

there was a seventy-thousand-year right leg soul bone that happened to be highly compatible with this attribute and had no side effects when fused.

She could even slowly fuse it while reading the chat group. The process was incomparably smooth, as though that soul bone had belonged to her from the start.

[Already an Uncle: @Bibi Dong! Are you there? Are you there? I need something!]

"What does this guy want with me?"

Already sitting by the bath, Bibi Dong shifted slightly. Her stunning body slowly slipped into the pool, and she lazily leaned against the wall.

Two life-saving devices were forced to float on the water's surface.

The mist surrounding her made the originally imposing Pope Bibi Dong appear hazily beautiful as her bath towel soaked beneath the water.

Her legs stretched out slightly beneath the water.

Bibi Dong tidied the hair beside her ears and let out a long breath, turning her gaze back to the group chat.

[Bibi Dong: I'm very busy right now. Spit it out.] [Already an Uncle: Well, it's like this. Liu Erlong wants you to help out. I wonder whether Her Highness Bibi Dong would be willing? "Smiley"] [Bibi Dong: Is this about Liu Erlong?] [Already an Uncle: That's right. She just asked the Magic Mirror a question, and the answer said that the Immortal Herb in your hands is the only one in the world.] [Bibi Dong: Oh? So?] [Already an Uncle: Liu Erlong wants to talk with you. I wonder if you're willing?] [Already an Uncle: Let me say this first—I'm only helping her make contact. Whether you agree is up to you. "Image"]

In the image, Du Bei held a brownish-yellow piece of Whale Rubber in one hand. He had clearly already gotten what he wanted.

Bibi Dong's expression did not change much.

She continued enjoying her bath, with no intention of getting up to see Liu Erlong.

What a joke. Other than Du Bei, that dead woman had cursed her the most viciously back then. Now she did not even show her face and expected Bibi Dong to go to her? What kind of joke was that?

What did she take Bibi Dong for? A monkey?

[You have granted Bibi Dong access permission—]

"What if she doesn't come?"

Liu Erlong looked at the blurry figure opposite her and asked with a frown, as though she were extremely anxious.

Du Bei could only spread his hands at that.

"How would I know?"

"And what does that have to do with me? Our transaction is already complete. What happens to you afterward is none of my business."

Du Bei spoke without mercy, not even glancing at Liu Erlong's ugly expression. He treated it as air.

"Oh, right. Settle the fee for delivering your message. Two thousand Gold Soul Coins in total."

"How do you intend to pay?"

Looking at the hand extended before her, Liu Erlong suppressed the rage in her heart and honestly paid the Gold Soul Coin fee.

After all, she really had asked Du Bei to deliver the message.

"Alright, goods delivered and payment settled."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." As he spoke, Du Bei picked up the Magic Mirror and prepared to leave.

He did not hesitate in the slightest.

It was as though the mature beauty before him did not exist at all.

Of course, it was not because Du Bei had such strong willpower.

The main reason was that the chat group had upgraded, so he could no longer directly do some muscle-loosening, bone-relaxing things to Liu Erlong like he had to Bibi Dong.

That was quite regrettable.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

Du Bei, who had been about to leave, turned back in confusion upon hearing that.

"Um, are you interested in being a principal?"

After a series of internal struggles, Liu Erlong realized she still had an academy and immediately made a decision!

She would sell the academy! In exchange for another chance...!

Another intense discussion followed.

In the end, Liu Erlong sold her academy, lock, stock, and barrel to the man before her at a reasonable price.

And what did she get?

The Forced Learning Collar...

"Ten times the learning efficiency? Doesn't that mean I can easily learn that Flaming Dragon Roar manual?"

"That's right. Just put it around your neck."

After Du Bei's series of thoughtful instructions, Liu Erlong finally put the necklace-like item around her neck.

"Is this enough?"

She reached up and touched the necklace around her neck, looking at Du Bei in confusion.

"That's right, that's right!" Du Bei nodded, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching upward as though he were holding something back.

He kept telling himself inwardly, Hold it in! I have to hold it in! It's not time yet!

Wait a little longer! Just wait a little longer!

"Huh? Why does it seem like it froze?"

"Is there something wrong with your necklace? Oh-ho, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet..."
