Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 116: Truth and destiny also require payment of rent
Finally, Liu Mang transported the tiger back. Dahuang was smart sometimes. He knew that his master couldn't carry this huge beast, so he transformed and carried the tiger on his back.

A wolf more than two meters tall was carrying a tiger about three meters tall on its back. The scene of the small fighting the big was quite shocking. He didn't know whether the people in Jinsha Village knew about the specialness of Dahuang. In order to avoid causing panic, he chose to take a detour home.

Traveling in the forest was much more difficult than in the wilderness, and even with Dahuang carrying the tiger on his back, he could not move fast. By the time Liu Mang returned to the vicinity of his home, the sun was almost setting.

Lu Jiu lay on the table in a daze, staring blankly at the sunlight gradually disappearing outside the door.

She knew that her brother had never been reliable when hunting. After all, it would be strange if hunting with a dog could be reliable. This time, it would definitely be difficult and take a whole day to find some "small animals" to bring back.

Recalling the rabbit meat from yesterday, Lu Jiu secreted a lot of saliva from his mouth, obviously he was greedy.

Small animals are also good, at least they are delicious!
"Boom!"

There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Lu Jiu felt the table shake. She was so scared that she immediately crawled under the table.

W-What's going on? An earthquake?

No, this is a house that my brother and I spent three years to build bit by bit. If it is really destroyed by an earthquake, brother Arthur will go crazy!
Just as Lu Jiu was crouching with her head in her hands, worried that the house might collapse, a hand grabbed her collar and pulled her out.

Lu Jiu was like a kitten with its fate strangled by the scruff of the neck. She opened her eyes pitifully, but what appeared before her was the familiar face of her brother.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Liu Mang couldn't help but ask:

"what are you doing?"

Lu Jiu pointed a finger under the table and said, "Hide from the earthquake!"

Liu Mang looked at the table which was obviously not sturdy, then looked at the door which was less than three meters away from the table, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Is it possible that if you want to avoid an earthquake, it would be safer to just run out the door?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Jiu pounded his hammer with both hands and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Liu Mang threw Lu Jiu on the chair with disgust. He felt that the sister given by the system was not smart enough, just like a dog.

No, maybe even worse than a dog. After transforming, Dahuang is still very majestic and domineering, and his fighting ability is also acceptable. But the human cub Lujiu is not good at this. Except for being able to talk, he is not as good as Dahuang in all aspects, and he is not even as cute as her.

Alas, my foolish sister, I am just kind-hearted. If Uchiha Itachi were your brother, I would make you feel the pain.

"The tiger you wanted is here, don't you want to go and take a look?" Liu Mang asked.

Lu Jiu was shocked. He really beat a tiger? How did he win?
Didi Dada ran to the door, and what she saw was a gaping bloody mouth that was bigger than her whole body. The mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the barbs on the tongue were even longer than her fingers!
"Wow!" Lu Jiu was successfully scared to tears. Liu Mang held his stomach and laughed, "My silly sister, do you like this gift?"

That night, Master Liu, who had been busy all day, finally started to cook. He cut a tiger leg weighing three or four tons into more than a dozen pieces for roasting, and also made a pot of soup with the tiger bones. There was not enough space in the house, so he simply built a bonfire on the open space outside the house and had a picnic.

Lu Jiu tore off a piece of tiger meat and chewed it fiercely. When she choked, she took a sip of soup to wash it down. The tiger scared her today, and she must get back at it by eating its meat and drinking its soup. Her desire for revenge was extremely strong.

Liu Mang tasted the barbecue slowly and carefully felt the changes that the tiger meat brought to him.

Once the meat enters the stomach, it is quickly broken down and absorbed with amazing efficiency. The nutrients flow through the blood throughout the body and are absorbed by the cells, making the cells visibly stronger.

The bones are also absorbing various substances, the structure is being optimized, and the density is increasing. After eating a piece of tiger meat, Liu Mang felt that his bones were more than one ten-thousandth stronger!

The speed of improvement is very fast. The strengthening effect is much stronger than yesterday's rabbit meat. A piece of tiger meat of the same weight contains more than twice the energy of rabbit meat, and its effect on strengthening the body is far better than rabbit meat!
Looking at the tiger with at least 20 tons of meat left, Liu Mang made a rough calculation and concluded that after eating the tiger and doing moderate exercise, its normal strength might increase to about one ton.

His mind was indeed no longer usable, but the 10th-level physical strengthening technique he created in Devouring the Stars was still effective. This was a highly efficient training method, and in theory, it was applicable to all realms.

Good things should naturally be shared with family. Lu Jiu is not very old, but his strength is even greater than his. With his supervision and guidance, there is no problem for him to start practicing physical strengthening techniques directly.

He was mentally prepared for the girl to be stronger than him. After all, although he was her biological brother, that was an identity inserted by the system, and he had not really lived with Lu Jiu for that long.

And Lu Jiuke has really lived in this world for seven years. Under the characteristics of this world, she has eaten high-energy food for seven years. Even if she has not exercised at all, she still has a lot of strength. According to Liu Mang's test, her strength is at least over 700kg!

She’s only seven years old. What will happen when she grows up?

Based on this, it can be inferred that this world is probably very powerful. An adult probably has several tons of strength per capita, and with a little training, dozens of tons of strength can be easily achieved. A master can punch tens or hundreds of thousands of tons. If they are in the Devouring Star, they are all high-level planetary-level powerhouses.

This is just a conservative estimate. If we encounter a world like Sekiro where gods and demons appear, it is not impossible that a big man who can reset the planet with a thought will appear. Such a strong man must start from the Universe Lord. I hope it won't be that kind of world. He has had enough of the days in Sekiro world where he dared not step out of small Japan. He thought about God every day. Maybe he would suddenly remember that someone had robbed the equipment of his church and invited him to heaven for tea or something. He was really entangled for decades.

System, I hope that the welfare world you mentioned is really welfare. Otherwise, even if I die of hunger or exhaustion, I will never spend a penny in your store. Do you hear me clearly?
system:.
It took the brother and sister five days to finish eating the tiger meat, while Dahuang had to deal with the bones alone.

Even though there was no meat on the bones and Liu Mang had used them to make soup so the taste was bland, Dahuang still ate them with relish. His excellent teeth could crush the tiger bones into powder with just a single chew. A 35-ton tiger has 10 tons of bones, all of which were consumed by Dahuang.

"Huh! I finally finished eating. This is the first time I've eaten tiger!" Lu Jiu sighed while stroking his belly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Liu Mang picked his teeth and asked casually, "Haven't you eaten tiger before? Then why do you want to eat it? I thought you knew the taste and were greedy."

Lu Jiu rolled her eyes, losing the desire to complain about her crazy brother. "I read in a book that there is a king in the forest on land. It is big and ferocious, and its meat is delicious. It is called tiger, so I wanted to try it, but it didn't taste as good as I imagined."

It was indeed tasted average and the texture was not good either. The reason why Lu Jiu could eat so satisfactorily was that she had not had many full meals in these years. Eating full for six consecutive days was a rare happy time since she was born.

"Brother Arthur, didn't you couldn't beat a tiger before? How did you kill one this time? No, it's better to say that you couldn't even beat a rabbit before, and you relied on Dahuang for hunting. But Dahuang shouldn't be able to beat a tiger either. How did you do it?" As she spoke, Lu Jiu's eyes showed curiosity, and she obviously didn't think Liu Mang won by strength.

The corner of Liu Mang's mouth twitched for a moment. My dear sister, do you know how powerful the rabbit you are talking about is? It has such twisted muscles and is more than two meters tall when it stands up. In the normal world, it can easily kill a hippopotamus with one kick. It's normal that I can't beat it!
"I picked it up!" He just said it casually. Lu Jiu also nodded in understanding. This was very reasonable.

Looking at the silly and cute Dahuang, Liu Mang felt a little emotional. He never thought that before he came, this silly dog ​​was actually the breadwinner of the brother and sister.

No, they should just be Lu Jiu's bread and butter. He was just a stranger who didn't exist originally but was forcibly inserted into their memories.

In other words, when Lu Jiu was very young, she and her dog wandered around the world and came to this island.

Could it be that the protagonist is not me, but Lu Jiu?

Haha, Liu Mang chuckled. No matter who the protagonist is, since I am here, the world can only revolve around me. I am the truth, I am the destiny!
The next day, truth and destiny no longer have the same momentum as yesterday.

“Why do I have to pay?!”

"Isn't it natural to pay rent for a house?"

"But didn't we build the house ourselves?"

“But the land is rented!”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me until it was time to pay the rent?"

"Need I say this?"

Lu Jiu retorted righteously, saying that the rent is not the responsibility of you as the guardian.

Liu Mang burst into tears. My lovely sister, maybe you think I'm crazy, but I really need you to say something.

Early this morning, a man who claimed to be the village chief of Jinsha Village came over and asked why the rent that should have been paid the day before yesterday had not been paid yet. He asked if the couple had encountered any difficulties and whether they needed a grace period of a few days.

Of course Liu Mang was confused. How could I pay rent for the house I built myself?
After sending the village chief away with kind words, he immediately asked Lu Jiu for relevant information, and the above conversation took place.

What else can he do? As her brother he has to take responsibility. It's just rent. With more than a hundred years of life experience, can't I make money in minutes?

"Ahem, Lujiu, how did we make money in the past?" Liu Mang asked calmly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with asking a 7-year-old girl about how to make money.

In the previous few worlds, he made his fortune by robbing. The only life in which Lin Zhennan did business was in which he already had a huge capital. His capital accumulation was also full of plunder and bloodshed, but he was not very familiar with legitimate business.

This world starts from a very low point, with no capital, and it is difficult to find a suitable target to rob. You can't rob the simple villagers, right?

Lu Jiu pointed at the door and raised her chin. Liu Mang seemed to be thinking about something. Does this mean he wants me to get out?
"What you mean is that you don't know either, so let me go out and ask someone else?" Liu Mang tried to use more euphemistic words to describe the above meaning, which could also be considered a kind of self-comfort.

"What I mean is, selling doors! Your door-making skills have become very good after my training. In the past two years, you have been making money by selling doors." Lu Jiu showed dead fish eyes, thinking that her brother was probably hopeless.

Liu Mang suddenly realized, so that's it, he was actually a carpenter!

Wait, did Lu Jiu say something strange just now, something about tempering?
