Chapter 40: Awesome Mountains
The looks around were getting more and more strange, and there were whispers.
Ning Shewo has been in this circle for a lifetime, so he still has to maintain some dignity, so he quickly pulled Meng Chao into a corner.
Meng Chao was quite embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ning, I'm actually a very low-key and introverted person, and I don't like to be in the spotlight. Otherwise, you can just pretend not to know me."
"No, no, no, my dear Meng, how could I mean this? I'm just wondering, didn't your master tell you these?" Ning Shewo was puzzled .
"This is my biggest secret. I shouldn't tell it to you even if I'm beaten to death. But I'm a loyal person and I really can't learn to lie. Actually, I don't have a master. I just met a very mysterious senior on the Internet. He often gives me some pointers. I don't know if I have the right to call him 'Master'."
Meng Chao paused, "His name is 'The Fire Master'."
"The Fire Master?" The Ning family grandfather and grandson looked at each other and said, "I've never heard of such a senior in the circle. Who is he?"
"I don't know. He is a mysterious person who is hard to find."
Meng Chao recalled seriously, "From the few words I heard from him, I felt that he was a man of great strength, but also of noble character, free from vulgarity, and only wanted to make contributions; a man of great wisdom, foresight, and the ability to see into the future; and a man of great charisma, who could conquer, influence, and save everyone without them realizing it!"
Ning family grandfather and grandson: "...Really?"
"Be more confident, remove the 'ma', yes."
Meng Chao said, "Oh, right, I told Elder Chuanhuo about Elder Ning's injury. He only thought for three seconds and then randomly pointed to two ingredients for me. One is the 'Hundred-Year-Old Heart-Eroding Grass Root Juice' and the other is the 'Blood-Colored Queen Bee Wings'. I don't understand what they mean either. Elder Ning, do you understand?"
Ning Shewo pondered for a moment, then suddenly took a breath of cold air, and his snow-white hair and beard exploded like steel needles.
“Hundred-year-old Heart-Eroding Grass and Blood-colored Queen Bee, these two ingredients are extremely poisonous, and their properties are similar to the purple-crowned viper king venom I have. This is a recipe for fighting poison with poison!
“Fighting fire with fire, how come I never thought of this?
"It makes sense. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I've tried all the treatments. There's only one way left, to fight poison with poison!"
Ning Shewo looked dazed, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes counting with his fingers, sometimes laughing silently, his facial muscles twitching, and his expression was extremely strange.
Ning Xueshi looked frightened: "Grandpa..."
"It's okay, Xueshi, grandpa is fine. Grandpa's illness can be cured. Little friend Meng didn't lie. This 'Fire Transmitter' is really a god. He has never even seen me, but in three seconds, he just pointed at the patient and solved the chronic illness that has troubled me for a long time. He is a god!" Ning Shewo exclaimed in admiration.
At the same time, a message popped up in Meng Chao's vision:
[After your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo has gained new insights into toxicology and pharmacology, contribution value +43]
Elite monsters are good, and you can’t kill them enough.
Meng Chao swallowed his saliva and said, "Old Ning, you must be careful when using a prescription to fight poison with poison. Old Master Chuanhuo mentioned these two ingredients casually, but did not mention the proportions, methods, and various auxiliary ingredients. You must consider it carefully ."
"That's fine. With this senior's level, it's already very good that he is willing to give me some advice. Why should I bother him with those minor details? I myself am quite knowledgeable about pharmacology, so I will naturally work with the expert team to carefully review the entire prescription."
Ning Shewo sighed, "After crossing Dragon City, extraordinary talents have emerged one after another. It is true that there are always people who are better than you and there are always better than you! Little friend Meng, no matter how much I can treat in the end, these two medicines have helped me a lot. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to the old man Chuanhuo."
"That's fine. Old Man Chuanhuo is a man who is indifferent to fame and fortune. He won't be angry even if you don't give him a penny. He won't be polite even if you give him a duplex mansion in Dragon City No. 1. He just treats money like dirt. He's very cool and carefree."
Meng Chao thought for a moment, "Oh, right, I've also asked Elder Chuan Huo about the other solutions to the Seven Solutions to the Anti-Passage. He doesn't mind making them public, so I'll show them to you right now."
Without waiting for Ning Shewo to react, Meng Chao used two chopsticks to operate in the air.
In fact, his movements were not right at all, and he did not understand the mysterious scientific principles behind each movement at all. He was simply copying, and his drawings were neither fish nor fowl.
However, even if the future harvesting technique is seriously distorted, in the eyes of a great master like Ning Shewo, it is still like lightning that streaks through the night sky, bringing great enlightenment.
"This is--"
Ning Shewo covered his chest, his face turned pale, and he took two big steps back.
[After your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo gained a new understanding of the first solution of "Anti-Guan Seven Solutions", contribution value +32]
[After your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo gained a new understanding of the third solution of "Anti-Guan Seven Solutions", contribution value +49]
【After your guidance...】
Meng Chao got a large amount of contribution value from the elite monster.
"grandfather!"
Ning Xueshi saw that her grandfather looked like he was having a heart attack and hurried forward to support him.
She couldn't see Meng Chao's exquisiteness. She only saw that this ordinary high school student, with two greasy chopsticks, just casually scratched twice and made her grandfather look like this, which made her almost cry.
"I'm fine, Xueshi, you don't understand, you don't understand how serious this place is..."
Ning Shewo's lips turned pale, but his eyes were particularly bright. He said solemnly, "Meng Xiaoyou, is it really the old man Chuanhuo who asked you to teach me the upgraded "Anti-Guan Qijie"? What does he want me to do?"
Meng Chao shook his head. "Again, old man Chuanhuo said that no matter martial arts, harvesting techniques or psychic technology, they are all the wisdom of all the working people in Longcheng. They should be taken from the people and used for the people. So he will not be stingy with any skills. He only hopes that old man Ning's hands and eyes will recover, and he can learn the new "Anti-Guard Seven Solutions" so that he can harvest more resources and create a better future with all the citizens of Longcheng."
Ning Shewo was struck by lightning, his lips trembled for a long time, and he sighed: "Senior's demeanor is as majestic as a mountain, and your mind is as boundless as the sea. I am convinced, this old man, no, Little Ningzi is completely convinced!"
Ning Xueshi's beautiful eyes swept back and forth between Meng Chao and Grandpa several times, and she had to admit defeat.
"Only a rare senior master like Elder Chuanhuo can train a young man like Meng Chao...who is unique and independent!"
Miss Ning was in mixed feelings.
"Meng Xiaoyou, you and Xueshi, please sit here for a while. I will go greet some friends in the circle and introduce you to each other later."
Ning Shewo pulled his granddaughter aside and whispered, "Now you believe what grandpa said, right? Little friend Meng is worth making friends with. At least, he is a hundred times more reliable than Liao Feijun! I will go to a social event later. Please help me greet Little friend Meng and don't be rude. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Ning Xueshi didn't know what she was thinking about. Her cheeks were flushed and she said shyly, "But he is still in high school and is three years younger than me!"
Ning Shewo: “Hmm?”
Ning Xueshi: "Huh?"
Meng Chao leaned over and asked, "Huh?"
…
At another corner of the trade fair, Liao Feijun drank the bloody red wine.
Licking the corner of his mouth, he stared at Meng Chao and Ning Xueshi talking and laughing, and it took a while before he looked away.
"Hey, isn't that Meng Chao?"
Beside him, Gu Ming, technical director of Jiuxin Resource Recycling Company, said in a lost voice, "How can this kid be qualified to come here?"
Liao Feijun's eyes turned cold: "Do you know him?"
"I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes, Master Jun. I came to you today to talk about this kid. He really gave us a slap in the face. You must make the decision for me!"
Gu Ming had a sad face and exaggerated the conflict from the night before, including the matter of the crystallized nerve ball. Finally, he said pitifully, "I have studied with teacher 'Poison Hand Liao Santong' for so long. Who in the circle doesn't know that I am teacher Liao's disciple? This kid is so arrogant because he has the support of 'Ghost Hand Ning She Wo'. He doesn't take teacher Liao seriously. Jun Shao, we can't tolerate this!"
Liao Feijun curled his lips in disgust.
Gu Ming had only learned the harvesting technique from his grandfather for two years. His skills were mediocre and he was always causing trouble and embarrassing himself. Liao Feijun was too lazy to mind his business.
However, Liao Feijun's grandfather, "Poison Hand Liao Santong" and "Ghost Hand Ning Shewo", are brothers. For decades, the skills of Liao Feijun have been superior to those of his elder brother. They also had conflicts over the grabbing of monster materials, and the two have had grudges for a long time.
This time, Ning Shewo's nerves were damaged and he was about to fade out of the reaper circle. This was a great opportunity for my grandfather to take advantage of the situation and step on him.
Grandpa had hinted to him a long time ago that he should find an opportunity to provoke Ning Shewo, forcing the other party to lose his patience and have an open fight with Grandpa, and then the "poisonous hand" would defeat the "ghost hand" and sweep away decades of depression.
This is an opportunity...
Liao Feijun pondered and said calmly, "Gu Ming, you've been fooled. Old Man Ning was poisoned by a snake and 90% of his strength has been wasted. Not to mention that he can't stay in the Thunder Team, he will probably retire from the Reaper circle soon. What do you have to be afraid of with such a dead tiger?"
"What?"
With Gu Ming's level, it was the first time he heard this inside information. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but said angrily, "Damn it, if I had known that Ning Laogui had turned into a dead tiger, Tiger Lord and I should not have let this kid go that day!"
Liao Feijun smiled and said, "Old Ghost Ning has been searching the whole city for a successor for a while now. Since this kid can tell the difference between 'spiritualized nerve balls' and 'crystallized nerve balls', I think he must have some talent. Old Ghost Ning was excited to see the prey, so he backed this kid up. It was originally a simple matter, but you scared yourselves and made it complicated."
Gu Ming was both ashamed and angry: "I was wondering, how can a poor boy living in a public housing unit get in touch with the 'White-haired Ghost Hand'?"
Liao Feijun laughed dumbly: "No wonder his school uniform is so tattered. It turns out he lives in a public housing. Old Ning is really going backwards. He has been looking for a successor for a long time, but he only found such a person? No wonder. Now everyone can see that Old Ning is a waste. Who among the young people in the circle with some connections and talents is willing to be the successor of Old Ning?"
Seeing that the two people opposite were talking happily, Ning Xueshi didn't know what Meng Chao said, which made her listen attentively.
The charm of the girl when she lowered her head made Liao Feijun's eyes red.
He asked Gu Ming to bring two glasses of red wine. "Let's go. After all, my grandfather and Old Ghost Ning are brothers. If this kid really becomes Old Ghost Ning's disciple, he will be my uncle. I will go and say hello to 'young uncle' now."
