Chapter 149: Changing the Way of Doing Things

Brother Hui sat down beside Jiang Fan, making it awkward for the two girls to continue passing money behind his back. Fearing they might disrupt Brother Hui’s gambling mood, they prepared to move elsewhere.

Jiang Fan, facing away, didn’t notice the girls shifting their steps. Reaching over his shoulder, he waved his hand and asked, “Where are you two going?”

Brother Hui chuckled, “Didn’t expect you to get hooked on being a porter.”

The girls hurriedly told Jiang Fan, “You and Brother Hui enjoy yourselves. We’ll find another spot.”

Jiang Fan placed the twenty thousand in front of him onto Brother Hui’s side, pouting, “I just wanted to have a quick go, and you always have to meddle. Keep it yourself…”

The illness was stubborn. It wouldn’t improve easily. Perhaps avoiding seafood and eating more vegetables would help, but how could she explain this to the Lin family? This ailment was prideful, and she had suffered greatly from it in modern times. It was mainly due to systemic reasons—no cure existed, yet it wouldn’t kill, only torment.

In magic, there existed a powerful art: mana absorption, drawing upon others’ magical energy to boost one’s own, though it came with many conditions.

But Luo Che clearly had no intention of sparing it. His right foot stepped into the void, changing direction as he dashed swiftly toward the giant’s palm.

A hazy sword light flashed, as if time itself slowed. The blade seemed to merge with the very essence of heaven and earth, striking in a way that evoked no resistance.

People in the bank hall glanced up curiously, then, seeing no further disturbance, resumed their activities.

“But those things you don’t…” Ouyang Yingqi’s eyes met Qian Mo’s, lacking even the courage to refuse.

As the two faced off, the house suddenly trembled violently at its corners, soaring into the air in an instant. Three meters above ground, it shattered into five flat stone slabs that flew off in all directions.

Of course, this was not absolute. For example, the city’s common folk might well possess such strength, but this was the suburbs.

Just as Li Yuxi finished tidying the room, Jiao Huixue came in from outside, probably returning to cook.

The Fire Beast couldn’t dodge so many rockets. Chained and restricted, it was struck squarely by the headless arrows, letting out a wail as it leapt toward the cave’s edge.

Before he finished speaking, the person behind him raised both hands slightly and began to gesture in front of him. Though awkward, there was a deadly allure.

Xiao Xun touched his face. Though he knew Tuoba Shao was teasing him, he couldn’t help but feel a sweetness rise within. Looking up, Xiao Xun smiled at Tuoba Shao, who was stirred and bent down to kiss him.

He supported himself with one palm, body horizontal, dodging Zhang Yang’s kick. His longsword stabbed diagonally into the ground, suddenly bending, then snapping straight, propelling him backward before straightening up.

Li Dabao had thought someone was talking nonsense, but suddenly recognized the familiar voice. It was a phrase Zhang Yang had once told him—he considered it a classic. Only then did he realize it was Zhang Yang.

Today was her special day. Qing Bao didn’t want to upset her further and obediently went to fetch a basin of water.

Is this a warrior? Tricked once, then again—only limbs, no brain. Such a warrior was safer placed on the backline. Moreover, Mo Wuer was under A Ge’s command; whether friend or foe to A Ge, his subordinates were untrustworthy—at least for now.

Liu Fengyin nodded faintly but said nothing, his eyes flickering with a hint of amusement as he looked at Chen Xuan.

Checking the ring’s space, he found a pile of iron tools and some glowing stones.

Dong Zugao took Fang Lin and the others to an inn, settled them, and held a banquet to welcome and honor them.

The life sciences department focused on rediscovering lost knowledge, which clearly conflicted with the company’s policies.

In the end, he had underestimated Ruihu’s luck. This sudden turn of events threw the future of the Mechanica Star into a web of uncertainty.
