When we returned to Hongye City, it was already dark.
At ** o'clock in the evening, it is the busy time of Miracle Restaurant.
For this reason, Tang Mubai did not go in and returned directly to the station.
When entering the gate, there were still many people waiting on both sides.
These people who are obsessed with climbing high are just like clocking in at work.
Come here around seven in the morning and go back around ten in the evening.
In addition to eating and going to the toilet during the trip, I waited at the door, hoping to impress the mercenary group and recruit them.
Unfortunately, none of them can last long.
It could be as short as three days or as long as seven days, and then you will complain and give up and rush to the next venue.
If Tang Mubai recruits such a person, he will be causing trouble for himself!
…
Ignoring those who shouted and greeted him, Tang Mubai drove into the gate, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Subconsciously, he stepped on the brakes, turned to look at the other person, and after confirming that he had seen correctly, he became interested, opened the car door, and walked over.
"Captain Tang, hello, hello, I am..."
When the crowd guarding the right side of the gate saw Tang Mubai approaching, a middle-aged man at the front quickly bowed his head and greeted him with a flattering face.
However, Tang Mubai didn't even look at him and walked straight over.
The same goes for the others, who ignored all the warm greetings until they stopped in front of a young man with a cold temperament.
"Do you also want to join my 'miracle'?" Tang Mubai stared at the other person and asked calmly.
"Yes." The other party responded coldly, unlike others who were flattering and flattering.
"Why?" Tang Mubai didn't mind his attitude and asked calmly, "With your strength and talent, I dare say that the three major sects are also willing to recruit you. And in my 'Miracle' mercenary group, there is no big cat."
There are only three or five kittens. What attracts you and makes you want to join?"
"To defeat you." The other party remained calm and responded quickly.
"What did you say?" Tang Mubai took out his ears and said weirdly, "Defeat me?"
"Yes, I hope you can fight me head-on instead of relying on external force."
Li Ling's eyes sparkled with light.
Yes, the familiar figure Tang Mubai saw was Li Ling, who lost to Tang Mubai in the last final of the youth group.
This genius swordsman has understood the meaning of the sword and his strength surpasses almost all his peers!
Tang Mubai got out of the car and walked towards him out of curiosity. He didn't expect Li Ling's answer to be so ridiculous.
Joining the "Miracle" mercenary group just wants to defeat him head-on!
Are all geniuses so proud?
"I think you made a mistake."
Tang Mubai held back his laughter and said, "When I defeated you in the ring, I attacked head-on, upright! If you can't defend or catch me, it's your own fault, not my external help."
!”
"Perhaps you have forgotten, but I have to remind you. What I am good at is archery! If the archer doesn't shoot from a distance, why should he stand in front of you and shoot again?"
Li Ling was silent.
"Whether you accept this or not, I will only say it once, and I don't want to hear the same words again in the future."
Tang Mubai was not polite and said coldly, "If you lose, you lose. If you can't figure it out, you can wait until you are stronger and then challenge me. Of course, there are no rules to challenge in private, and if there are casualties, I hope you will consider it."
clear!"
After speaking, Tang Mubai turned and left, leaving Li Ling with an ugly face and clenched fists.
The sword case on his back was shaking slightly.
The invisible sword intent was released, and the cold sword energy stimulated the crowd watching the excitement. They suddenly shivered and dispersed one by one.
"Hehe, why do I see him standing here all day today? It's because I couldn't accept it after losing the game and wanted to get it back from Tang Mubai."
"It's normal. We are both young people and have also understood the meaning of the sword. If it weren't for Tang Mubai, he would be the number one master among the younger generation in Hongye City!"
"No one would be able to accept this in a short time. Although Li Ling is second, since ancient times, only the first will be remembered. Who will remember the second?"
"That's the truth! In this regard, there are too few people who have figured it out, and there are too many people who don't accept their fate. Li Ling is just one of them."
"What's even funnier to me is that he actually joined the Miracle just to defeat Tang Mubai. I really don't know what he thinks. If he really joins the mercenary group, Tang Mubai will be the leader. If a member challenges the leader, no matter he wins or loses, he will be punished.
People laugh at you!”
"Tsk, who knows what he thinks, don't geniuses all have quirks?"
…
On both sides of the gate, the crowds were talking and pointing at Li Ling.
No one is optimistic about this matter. Although many people understand it, no one agrees with it.
It's very simple. Putting aside Tang Mubai's master "Master Hong", Tang Mubai himself is not something Li Ling can deal with.
It is true that Li Ling possesses sword power, but Tang Mubai's archery and light skills are not weak either.
Whether it's a head-on fight or a life-and-death fight, Tang Mubai has the best chance of winning.
If you combine a sharp archer with exquisite light skills, there is basically no solution.
If you hit him, he won't be able to hit you. If he hits you, it will be extremely easy.
Even if Li Ling is a master-level warrior, there is still nothing Tang Mubai can do without restraining Tang Mubai immediately!
Therefore, this matter is just because Li Ling was too proud and refused to accept it.
The crowd dispersed and laughed at him for this.
Tang Mubai didn't smile, but it didn't make a good impression either.
Li Ling's swordsmanship talent is truly astonishing. He has understood the meaning of the sword at a young age. In time, there is at least a ninety-nine percent chance of breaking through to the master level.
Even the innate realm is not impossible.
The premise is that he does not seek death and has enough resources.
The second aspect is very easy to solve. You only need to join a certain big force and you can easily obtain it. The price you pay is to serve the other party.
This is the way out for most casual warriors.
There are so many people who pass the assessment every month and become professional martial artists.
As long as you become a warrior, you can open a company, open a store, and give your name to others.
There is no need to do anything at all, you can get money just by sitting at home.
Then why are there still many warriors willing to join big forces and listen to others' orders?
Here’s why!
Casual warriors have no training resources and cannot become stronger.
If you want to become stronger, you can only join the major forces.
In addition, for anyone who has obtained a warrior certificate and enjoys the benefits of a warrior, the annual mandatory out-of-field assessment is also key.
The military organized manpower and led warriors out of the domain wall to hunt for inhuman life.
In this process, although most of the time, the risk is very small.
But every year, people still die outside because of this, and their bones cannot be brought back.
The reason is that their strength is too weak. When attacked by giant insects or ferocious beasts, they cannot resist for a round. They will be dead before they can be rescued.
The advantage of a mercenary group is that they can fight as a team and work together day and night.
Not everyone is Di Xiaochuan, who was spotted by the "Sacred Heart Sect", joined it, and secretly became a master with the help of the "Sacred Heart Sect".
Speaking of which, Tang Mubai didn't understand the recruitment standards of the "Sacred Heart Sect".
It stands to reason that a talented swordsman like Li Ling should also be favored.
But the actual situation seems to be that there is no contact at all.
"Perhaps there is something wrong with Li Ling's identity?"
Tang Mubai pondered.
Immediately, he shook his head and threw it behind him.
Drive into the gate and ask the two old men who volunteer to guard the gate to close the door.
Tang Mubai parked the SUV in the yard, smiled and nodded to the person who greeted him, and then got out of the car and went home. When he reached the stairs, he suddenly remembered that he had omitted something.
Fat tiger!
Fat Hu, who was sleeping in the back seat of the car, actually didn't wake up until now.
Tang Mubai turned back, touched Fat Tiger's furry head, and barked several times. Fat Tiger showed no signs of waking up, and still snored, sleeping soundly.
There was no other way, so Tang Mubai had no choice but to pick it up speechless.
The moment I took hold, I almost didn't hold it.
The body seemed small, but the weight seemed to have remained the same. It weighed several hundred kilograms, so Tang Mubai was physically strong enough to hold it and walk towards the stairs step by step.
Wherever I walked, if I looked carefully, I could see footprints.
I went up to the top floor in one breath and opened the door. My little cousin was still watching TV.
Fang Shuixian accompanied me.
Hearing the noise, the little cousin turned around and shouted, "Brother, where have you been? Why did you come so late...ah! What a cute cat!"
The little girl exclaimed with joy and jumped up from the sofa. Buling Buling ran to Tang Mubai and reached out to hug Fat Hu.
"etc."
Tang Mubai didn't dare to let go, nor did he dare to put Fat Tiger on the table or sofa. Instead, he squatted down and put it directly on the ground.
"Brother, why did you put the cat on the ground? The ground is so cold!"
The little cousin was dissatisfied, so she knelt down, stretched out her hand on Fat Tiger's furry head, and stroked it happily.
"Xiao Bai, have you had dinner?" Fang Shuixian glanced at Fat Tiger and asked.
"No, Aunt Fang, just do whatever you want." Tang Mubai replied.
"Okay." Fang Shuixian nodded and walked towards the kitchen. When he passed by Fat Tiger, he chuckled and said, "This cat is really fat. At first glance, it looks like a little tiger."
"Well, Aunt Fang, you read that right, it's a tiger." Tang Mubai chuckled.
"Ah? Is it true?" Fang Shuixian was stunned for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he asked in surprise while working hard, "So, you caught a little tiger and brought it back?"
"Cerebellar ax?" The little cousin looked up, blinked her big eyes, and said happily, "Brother, is it really a cerebellar ax? The cerebellar ax shown on TV seems not as good-looking as it."
"Of course the Cerebellar Ax shown on TV is not as good-looking as it is. It is the Winged Fire Tiger, a tiger-like beast with great potential." Tang Mubai replied, "By the way, its name is Fat Tiger. It likes to sleep and slept for a long time.
It should wake up soon. If it wakes up, don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt anyone.”
"Yeah, yeah." The little cousin nodded. A pair of small hands were still stroking Fat Tiger's head. "Fat Tiger's fur is much more comfortable than Ah Bao. Ah Bao is not good either. He only licks and licks all day long. And
, Fat Tiger is more beautiful and cleaner than Abao!"
"In this regard, it is true that Fat Tiger likes to be clean." Tang Mubai smiled, walked to the bedroom and said, "I want to take a bath, and you play with Fat Tiger."
"Go, go." The little cousin waved without raising her head.
Tang Mubai smiled, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After coming out, the rice cooked by Fang Shuixian was also ready.
Tang Mubai sat at the dining table, eating and responding to his little cousin's doubts.
The reason is that Fat Tiger hasn’t woken up yet!
After sleeping for such a long time, he still didn't wake up. If it weren't for the snoring, it would never stop. The connection between the minds would not be broken. Through the soul line induction, it was confirmed that Fat Tiger was really sleeping.
Tang Mubai thought something had happened to it, because it was sustained by the energy of the lantern fruit...
Well, wait!
By the way, it’s the lantern fruit!
Fat Tiger swallowed three lantern fruits in one go.
Tang Mubai thought it had eaten it before and had no problem digesting it.
Now it seems that after Fat Tiger slept, his digestion ability was affected.
The energy contained in the lantern fruits is too great, let alone three at once.
The result was good, Fat Tiger could not wake up.
If you want it to wake up, the prerequisite is to absorb all the energy from the three lantern fruits!
Thinking of this, Tang Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and was speechless for a while.
If you can’t eat too much, why don’t you eat so much? No one will compete with you!
Tang Mubai cursed in his heart.
If Fat Tiger cannot wake up, his fun will naturally decrease.
After the little cousin stroked the big furry head for a while, she had no choice but to stop.
With Fang Shuixian's comfort, she went into the bathroom to wash up and then went to bed.
There is no way, the primary school students have to go to school tomorrow, and they can't go to bed late.
After Tang Mubai finished eating, he also lay on the bed, relaxed and at the same time opened the system panel.
With a cumulative life span of 62,147 years, the first thing to be consumed and exchanged is Qi and blood.
The previous 9,250 calories of energy and blood were short of 10,000 calories, and there were still 750 calories missing.
Tang Mubai immediately consumed 15,000 years of his life and converted it into blood, which increased to——
[The blood count is 10,000 cards, the upgrade conditions are met, and the system starts to upgrade]
[Upgrade time, 24 hours]
【23:59:58】
…
"System Upgrade?"
Tang Mubai "watched" the familiar countdown in his mind. After a brief moment of surprise, he was filled with joy and excitement.
Upgraded, the system has finally been upgraded again!
"I remember that when I upgraded last time, my blood count was 100 cards."
"This upgrade, the blood count is 10,000 cards."
"How much will it be next time? One hundred thousand cards? One million cards?"
Tang Mubai was excited and a little weird at the same time.
The upgrade conditions were unclear, so he could only passively accept them.
Of course, the upgraded system and its additional functions are something people are really looking forward to.
The time required for the upgrade is the same as one day.
It looks like I won’t have to run around much tomorrow, so I can rest.
During the system upgrade, it was in a "strike" state. Tang Mubai couldn't do it even if he wanted to consume his lifespan.
I exited the system panel, stretched out, and just wanted to get up and turn on my computer to access the Internet.
The cell phone next to the table suddenly rang.
I picked it up casually and saw that it was a call from Di Xiaochuan.
Connect now...
"Brother Di, are you looking for me so late to treat you to a late-night snack?" Tang Mubai said with a smile.
"Okay, if you want to have a midnight snack, come right over and I'll take you to have a good time."
Di Xiaochuan laughed on the other end of the phone.
Tang Mubai also laughed.
After some back-and-forth, Di Xiaochuan said formally, "I called you during the day and couldn't get through, so I had to call you at this time. Tomorrow at eight o'clock is my baby's birthday, remember to come then!"
"No problem." Tang Mubai said cheerfully, "I just don't know what gift my sister-in-law likes?"
"……roll!"
Di Xiaochuan laughed and scolded, "The treasure I'm talking about is not my wife, but my daughters, both of them!"
