Zuo Teng's Disbelief

"Hello, Mr. Luo!"

"I understand your anxiety, but my parents are still filming outdoor scenes for Swordsman!"

"What kind of nonsense is this? It's not like we can decide that!"

Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have a pressing need for the X432 repair technology, but for Luo Tianming, the time needed for Mental Strengthening is too short.

With each day he waited, he moved one step closer to death and one step further away from longevity.

Besides verbally abusing Professor Luo Hui, Luo Tianming could only exchange insults with Song Xianzong at the Old Age Mansion, while also constantly testing whether the communication could be established.

He felt somewhat fortunate that Professor Luo Hui hadn't yet sent a message, and his communications were already established.

This led to a friendly exchange between Luo Tianming and Zhang Xuezhou.

"Paying in advance, I'm afraid that won't work."

"Why not? Professor Luo Hui didn't order the Crane Blood Essence for me in advance!"

"How did I turn into a crane? My Gene Fighting Technique requires crane blood serum, and I ordered twenty doses from Professor Luo Hui!"

After some communication, Luo Tianming went to see Professor Luo Hui.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to put down his communicator on set, and Zuo Teng, a few meters away, made a clicking sound.

"You actually have something on Old Monster Luo?" Zuo Teng exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't eavesdrop, it won't do you any good," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said.

"With you communicating so closely, it's hard not to hear," Zuo Teng said.

"Well, other people aren't as ear-piercing as you are, listening intently!"

Zhang Xuezhou put down the prop sword and waited for Wen Yishan to call him to the stage, whereupon he was stabbed to death by Zuo Teng in a few strokes.

He answered the phone call out of sheer boredom, never expecting that Zuo Teng would be so interested in it.

"You'd better watch out for Old Monster Luo," Zuo Teng said with interest. "Those who have tried to manipulate or blackmail him in the past have all met with bad ends!"

"It was just a normal transaction between him and me," Zhang Xuezhou said, waving his hand.

"Just be careful. If you wait until the deal is done and you've lost your usefulness, his counterattack will follow!"

Is that his personality?

"What else? Anyway, my grandpa doesn't like dealing with him!"

Zuo Teng's words may not mean much, but Zuo Lianguang's feelings are probably true.

Zhang Xuezhou seemed to be deep in thought for a moment.

Zuo Teng, on the other hand, was interested in the details of the deal between Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Tianming.

It's extremely rare to find an opportunity to leverage such a situation, one that would require someone of Luo Tianming's caliber to be in need and then use high-end medical technology in exchange.

Zuo Teng truly hadn't expected Zhang Xuezhou to be able to produce what Luo Tianming needed.

"Could it be to give Old Monster Luo a livestreaming room? But the requirements for becoming a livestreaming host aren't high, and if this guy surnamed Zhang wants something else, he can't offer anything..."

Zuo Teng had watched Zhang Manqian and Zhang Xuezhou rise through the ranks. Because he had paid so much attention, Zuo Teng couldn't imagine what Zhang Xuezhou could offer Luo Tianming, a senior high-level individual in his later years, or even make him anxious.

"Luo Tianming doesn't seem to lack anything?"

The problem is, what he lacks, no one else can give him!

Zuo Teng pondered for nearly two minutes, but ultimately had no answer to the question.

Given Zhang Xuezhou's quick wit, there was no way the other party would tell him the answer.

For no apparent reason, his opinion of Zhang Xuezhou rose two points, and he also became more wary of him.

They are still playing with their peers, competing in a healthy way to catch up with each other and strive to enter the Third Sequence as soon as possible, and then become the backbone of the Scarlet Alliance State.

As for moving up from the Third Sequence, that depends on the group's wealth, combat prowess, and skill in hunting exotic beasts.

Only by continuously pushing their genes to evolve upwards can they use Gene Fighting Technique to move from the middle layer upwards and then squeeze into the upper-middle layer.

If their strength reaches the Fifth Sequence, they will be worthy of respect, while reaching the Sixth Sequence will grant them a certain degree of influence and allow them to interact with Luo Tianming and others on a more equal footing.

That's the general comparison.

Zuo Teng was like this; he didn't have the ability to talk to Professor Luo Hui face-to-face, let alone talk to Luo Tianming.

But Zhang Xuezhou was currently engaged in a battle with Luo Tianming, and Luo Tianming was almost completely defeated.

This made Zuo Teng feel as if Zhang Xuezhou had taken the path that would have taken him decades to complete. Apart from not being perfect in terms of strength, Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have directly utilized the status and other factors that come with strength.

"How exactly did they do that?"

He was filled with disbelief. It wasn't until Wen Yishan had gathered everyone together and shouted "Ready!" that Zuo Teng slowly stood up and went to his seat.

After adjusting his breathing several times, Zuo Teng's face showed a hint of arrogance, as well as a touch of Evil Qi.

He took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped his face.

Zuo Teng disliked Lin Pingzhi's attire quite a bit. Not only was his clothing scented, but he also wore a gemstone ring, and even his shoes were adorned with two pearls. His appearance was that of a nouveau riche.

That's practically screaming "I'm rich" on his face.

But Zuo Teng portrays this kind of rich young master with ease.

He not only demonstrated proper etiquette, but also the relevant rules and manners for wealthy young masters.

After entering the restaurant with an arrogant air, Zuo Teng casually spoke to the actor playing Linghu Chong.

"Brother Linghu, hello!"

"Hello!"

The actor playing Linghu Chong responded and then sat down there as well.

In this situation, he is not the main character; only Lin Pingzhi, played by Zuo Teng, is the one who dominates the battlefield.

"Your name is Yu Renhao, isn't it? You were involved in the murders that came to my house back then, and even though you've turned to ashes, I'll still recognize you."

"I am Yu Renhao, what are you going to do about it?"

"Heroes and heroines, the Four Heroes of Qingcheng! You're ranked third, yet you have not a trace of heroism. How laughable!"

After the usual roundabout talk, it was time to resort to force.

Zuo Teng wielded a prop sword inlaid with jade with exquisite skill.

The Evil-Repelling Sword is known for its bizarre moves and incredible speed, which makes Zuo Teng incredibly fast when killing.

The actor playing Linghu Chong only heard a few screams of pain before Hou Renying, who had previously terrified him to the point of not daring to look him in the eye, met his end.

Seeing that the cameras were all focused on Zuo Teng, he also moved off the table.

"Uncle Zhang, that scene should be over. Get up, you're alright!"

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, who had collapsed to the ground dead, he cautiously uttered a few words.

This is the investor that Wen Yishan mentioned. If possible, he very much hopes that the other party can remember his name and that they will remember him in any future film or television productions.

"It's all done!"

"Yes, it's all done. Now the camera is focused entirely on Lin Pingzhi. If it weren't for this Mr. Zuo's preference for doing scenes in one take, keeping Director Wen too busy to contact you, I reckon you would have been woken up by Director Wen already!"

"Then I'll get up!"

Zhang Xuezhou got up, took the wet wipes handed to him, and then wiped the cut area where the blood was smeared, cleaning his skin that was stained with chicken blood.

"I wonder how big my chickens have gotten? Are they big enough for me to eat? And if they keep eating, will they be able to reproduce in a positive cycle...?"

To make it more realistic, the props team used chicken blood instead of human blood. The smell of chicken blood reminded Zhang Xuezhou of his research institute's plan to raise chickens.

Having been influenced by the demonic energy of the mallard duck, Zhang Xuezhou can improve his genetic condition by eating his favorite poultry.

This gave Zhang Xuezhou some hope for his Wushao chicken plan.

If his genes are driven by eating black-feathered chickens, his need for crane blood serum will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
