582: Zhang's brain was parasitized by muscles.

“Kid, take these gold bars, exchange them for points, then find a good restaurant. Consider it my treat for you all.”

“Also, after you’ve exchanged for points, don’t forget to buy a decent house. This is the Five Spirits Gang Headquarters, I can’t live here forever.”

Qi Longhu casually tossed a ten-kilogram gold bar to Ming Dian, then plopped down onto the soft sofa.

“Comfortable…” Qi Longhu stretched, then picked up a bottle from the table and sniffed it.

“What is this stuff? It smells terrible!”

He frowned, but the smell of liquor from the bottle still piqued Qi Longhu’s interest.

He took a gulp, and a burning sensation, almost like a burn, erupted in Qi Longhu’s mouth.

“Good heavens, this liquor has a kick!”

Qi Longhu’s eyes lit up; even the pure edible alcohol on Heavenly Demon Star didn't have such a stimulating taste.

That kid Chen Heng would definitely love it!

“Uncle Qi, this doesn’t seem to be liquor…” Lou Chao glanced at the text on the bottle and poked Qi Longhu.

“Then what is it?” Qi Longhu didn’t recognize any of the characters on the bottle, and number eight’s extension didn’t have a text translation function.

“This is the fuel for that exoskeletal armor, 98-octane high-grade ethanol gasoline…”

“Not bad. Next time, get me more. This stuff really suits my taste.”

Qi Longhu nodded, completely unconcerned about what he was drinking.

His current body could function perfectly well without food; he could be self-sufficient relying on the blood of the heavenly demon within him.

However, Qi Longhu, like Chen Heng, was someone who greatly indulged in culinary pleasures, a loyal believer in the maxim, ‘humans live for this mouth.’

“But this stuff is very harmful to the stomach. It’s better not to drink it.”

Although Lou Chao was a little afraid of Qi Longhu, his kind nature still compelled him to warn him.

“Don’t worry, my stomach can even digest iron lumps; this stuff is nothing.”

Qi Longhu chuckled, reaching out to gently pat Lou Chao’s shoulder.

“Go on, go take care of business.”

“From today onwards, this place will be the starting point of our great endeavor.”

“Alright…” Seeing that he couldn’t dissuade Qi Longhu, Lou Chao sighed and went off to do business with Ming Dian.

“Old Xu, I really don’t know what’s so good about this place.”

After Ming Dian and Lou Chao left, Qi Longhu turned to Xu Lieying and complained.

“You truly understand nothing…” Xu Lieying sighed, a bit speechless. The dignified White Tiger Hall Master had now completely transformed into a brainless brute.

Hmm, it’s all Chen Heng’s fault!

“This location is very close to the Upper City District, and there’s an underground black market nearby where we can get all sorts of information.”

“The street right next to it is full of prostitutes, controlled by a Gang called the Flower Gang.”

“Once we’ve established ourselves here, our next target will be the Flower Gang. That way, we’ll control a large portion of the information in the Lower City District.”

“Moreover, people from the Upper City District sometimes patronize the Flower Gang’s territory, and the Flower Gang’s leader has many connections with people from the Upper City District.”

“After taking over the Flower Gang, we can replace them and form a network of relationships with people from the Upper City District…”

“Wait, wait, wait!” Qi Longhu’s brows furrowed. He looked at Xu Lieying, who was outlining his plan, with a face full of confusion.

“Old Xu, have you relapsed into your old habits? Do you still think you’re that Acquired Martial Artist from back then?”

“Why go through so much trouble to deal with this place?”

“Couldn’t we just fight our way through?”

“Old Qi…” Xu Lieying no longer wanted to sigh. Qi Longhu’s brain was definitely parasitic with muscle now.

“What we need to do is completely control this planet, not just wreak havoc and then leave.”

“Even that kid Chen Heng knew to leave his representative on Zhuosha Star. What do you think is the nature of what the two of us are doing right now?”

“What nature?” Qi Longhu scratched his head.

“What we need to do is the same as that kid on Zhuosha Star: while breaking the existing order, we must not let this planet fall into extreme chaos.”

“Do you think you’re Chen Heng?”

“Capable of taking on an entire Chiling Star by yourself?”

“Use your brain. There are methods that aren’t so strenuous, so why insist on brute force?”
