Gao Wu: Starting with playing the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e

As a mind reader and a suspected "chosen one," Zhang He possesses various extraordinary qualities.

The "Great Yin-Yang Integration Foundation Method," the ability to read minds, and so on, but the most inconspicuous of all is the ability to "eat."

At the very beginning, on the day Tang Luo first met Zhang He, he only thought that Zhang He was kind-hearted and didn't need mind-reading abilities to deprive him of benefits, and that he was starving.

But as they spent more time together, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.

The day he went to rent a residence was Zhang He's first time making a move. In the tea shop, he grabbed twenty meat buns and ate them all. Afterwards, at the brokerage, he ate two pounds of fruits and vegetables to fill his stomach. He then went straight to Chunshan Tower, where he ate five pounds of ferocious beast meat, fifteen pounds of other meats, two or three pounds of fruits and vegetables, and also ingested about five pounds of water.

Not to mention, he even packed a portion of these dishes to go!

The numbers mentioned above should be multiplied by two!

But this was not his food for the day. In the evening, at a barbecue stall, he ate fifteen bowls of rice, two roasted lambs, and various side dishes.

These things together weigh over 100 pounds!

Tang Luo stared intently at Zhang He in front of him, a hint of curiosity on his face.

It's not that I'm heartbroken about the money I spent—well, I am a little heartbroken.

In one day, he spent nearly one tael of silver, and this was only because Wang Yuande paid for all the expenses at Chunshanlou. Otherwise, that amount would have been more than a hundred times over.

Tang Luo was mainly curious about how Zhang He managed to finish eating without any change in his physique.

This does not comply with the law of conservation of energy!

Subsequently, on the same day, Tang Luo, who was then known as Ke Zhen'e, conducted a simple physical test on Zhang He and discovered the truth.

This little thing is growing.

Tang Luo stepped over the threshold and handed his luggage to Zhang He, who had offered to help him carry his things, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

Ninety percent of my financial crisis stems from the people in front of me.

The moment he came to this conclusion, Tang Luo even doubted whether he had made a mistake, but after repeated testing and confirmation, Tang Luo had no choice but to accept the fact.

Tang Luo walked towards his room, then turned back to look at the dark-skinned and thin Zhang He.

There was an essay in a past life called "On Horses," which stated: "Therefore, even a famous horse may be disgraced in the hands of a slave, dying side by side in its stall, and will not be known for its ability to travel a thousand miles."

Because 'slaves' cannot see the potential of a thoroughbred horse, they instead despise it for its ability to consume a whole bushel of grain in a single meal.

Zhang He was that thoroughbred horse, but his family background was that of a "stable horse".

Compared to Zhang He's talent, his family background seemed far too poor; they couldn't afford to support him.

This prevented him from developing properly, and it had nothing to do with the cultivation method.

Tang Luo guessed that Zhang He's physique must be extremely strong. He had previously calculated that one would need the strength of over 10,000 jin in one arm to master "Moon Yin Tong You". Zhang He was very likely the one with the strength of over 10,000 jin in one arm.

However, unlike "being able to understand everything," which is a state that does not require resources, having great strength does require resources. Zhang He's family was too poor and they were already struggling to get enough to eat, let alone consuming more resources to increase his strength.

This caused him to never develop properly.

Until he met me, I was generous and kept buying him things, and he kept eating them. Only then did I realize that he really could eat them all the time.

He consumes four doses of Body Tempering Powder a day, which is equivalent to twelve times that of an average person. In addition, his absorption ability is strong, so one day of his cultivation is equivalent to fifty or sixty days of others' cultivation. Zhang He's cultivation is even more exaggerated.

He can take one hundred doses of Body Tempering Powder a day!

That's right, one hundred doses, which is fifty taels of silver a day!

And now, he has been eating it for four days.

Tang Luo glanced at the mountain of body-tempering medicine packets in the courtyard and secretly estimated how many days he could support Zhang He with the money he had left.

After deducting the three hundred taels of silver he had just redeemed, as well as other miscellaneous expenses, he now only had a little over six hundred taels of silver left, which was just enough for Zhang He to eat for about ten days, or half a month.

But don't forget, he and He Lian need to eat too.

Tang Luo, lost in thought, glanced at Zhang He carrying the suitcase ahead and asked with some concern, "Are you sure this kind of eating won't put a strain on your body?"

Zhang He shook his head slightly and said firmly, "No."

As if afraid that Tang Luo would worry, he turned back and gave Tang Luo a reassuring look.

"How is your strength now?" Tang Luo asked as he opened the wooden box and made up the bed.

Although it was said that Zhang He caused the financial crisis, Tang Luo didn't actually care that much.

Earning money is meant to be spent. More than how much money is spent, he cares about how effective that money is.

Upon hearing this, Zhang He pointed to the huge iron lock, nearly a meter tall, placed in the courtyard and said softly, "One hand, three, this, no problem."

Tang Luo followed his gaze and looked at the iron lock. At this moment, he could only admire it from the bottom of his heart.

The iron chains were training tools purchased specifically for training. There were twenty in total, ranging from the smallest weighing fifty jin to the largest weighing one thousand jin, with two of each. They were very complete and constituted the largest expense among other expenditures.

Now, Zhang He told him that he was strong enough to lift a three-thousand-pound iron chain, which meant that his single-arm strength reached an astonishing three thousand pounds!

Previously, his single-arm strength was less than 1,000 jin!

Don't forget, Zhang He has also successfully mastered the "Great Yin-Yang Unity Foundation Diagram," "Moon Yin Connects with the Netherworld," and "Sun Brightness Connects with the Divine." His true combat strength at this moment has probably surpassed "Divine Strength" and reached the Unity Realm, which he is unaware of, or even higher.

But most importantly, this is not the limit!

According to Tang Luo's estimation, Zhang He's development will likely continue until he can lift 10,000 jin with one arm, or even more, before it stops. At that time, he will probably be unmatched in the entire Dongling City, and even Yunjing County!

Of course, this is on the premise that the gap between cultivation levels is not too exaggerated.

As Zhang He's provider, he now clearly has some sense of security.

"It's just a pity... money~"

Tang Luo spread the last blanket on the bed and sighed.

His room was located in the lower left of the courtyard, while Zhang He's room was located in the upper right of the courtyard.

Zhang He chose this himself, and he knew that no matter how many promises he made, the ability to read minds was still too frightening.

That position is just right; no matter how you move it, this room will always be outside the range of mind reading.

Tang Luo was also somewhat gratified by Zhang He's sensible nature.

He still trusted Zhang He's character, but rather than distrusting each other, it was better to cut off this path from the start.

He was just worried that if he brought it up himself, Zhang He might have some objections, but since Zhang He brought it up himself, it was for the best.

Tang Luo's caution was inevitable; he had too many secrets, and if Zhang He overheard them, he would be finished!

A secret is a secret precisely because only one person knows it.

With these thoughts in mind, Tang Luo glanced at the panel under his eye again, looking at the countdown on it.

[Performance time: two hours and two and a half minutes]

The role-playing mission is coming to an end!

[Ke Zhen'e] If nothing unexpected happens, he will completely disappear after today!

Thinking of this, Tang Luo glanced at it again.

[Character portrayed: Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e (White/Middle)]

Main Quest One...

......

[Playing Points: 8022]

[Performance Ratio: 40.11%]

If all goes as expected, this will be the final settlement data.

In order to successfully eliminate the identity of "Ke Zhen'e", Tang Luo had to make some changes to his subsequent acts of chivalry, especially within the Duan Prince's Mansion.

If it weren't for the "a promise is a promise" bug, where I kept making simple promises to others, I probably wouldn't even have this much data.

However, it's not bad.

After confirming the data, Tang Luo looked up at the sky and then walked out of the room.

The two who were already training in the courtyard nodded, opened the teacups beside them, swallowed the tea in one gulp, and began their training for the day.
