40: Want to kill me? How about some super-strength pills?

Facing the question, Liu Sisi thought for a moment.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know why either, it's just a strange sense of trust!"

After a long silence, Chen Yang solemnly said, "Alright, I promise you, I will be your... personal bodyguard!"

Liu Sisi was overjoyed.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

"The term is tentatively set for one month, the salary is 1 million, starting now, is that acceptable?"

Chen Yang thought about it.

His father's illness had already improved, and with his mother and the caregiver looking after him, there shouldn't be any major issues.

"Fine! Let's start right now!"

"However, does the protection really have to be... personal and close?"

Liu Sisi blushed slightly.

"The situation is special... it's best if we... stay side-by-side."

Chen Yang couldn't argue: "..."

As if afraid Chen Yang would back out, Liu Sisi immediately transferred 1 million to him.

"Ding dong!" He received the 1 million transfer.

Chen Yang was secretly thrilled!

A big star really is generous!

The job hadn't even started, but the money was already in place.

My total assets have now exceeded ten million, reaching 10.8 million.

1 million a month!

This counts as striking a small fortune!

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence Triggered!]

[Intelligence 4]: Liu Sisi is in danger today, and while protecting her, you will also encounter a life-or-death crisis. With your current strength, it will be difficult to escape unscathed.

Joy turned to sorrow!

The sudden appearance of the triggered intelligence made Chen Yang both shocked and fearful!

Sure enough, no amount of money is easy to earn.

You want to earn money, but someone else wants your life!

Chen Yang frowned.

His current strength level is the Initial Soldier King.

If he wanted to improve quickly, he could only rely on "Random Lottery."

As for how to draw, he still needed to figure it out.

"Sisi, wait a moment, I need to go to the restroom."

Chen Yang hid in an unoccupied corner.

"Activate Random Lottery!"

He finally made up his mind.

"Select Unreliable Level Lottery!"

The Unreliable Level.

Although it was unreliable, there was still a chance to draw something good.

For example: marrow cleansing pill.

Chen Yang's current strength all came from the marrow cleansing pill.

He wanted to try his luck.

He wanted to see if he could draw a similar pill or some other treasure.

To help increase his combat power.

The most crucial thing was that the Unreliable Level was cheap!

It only required 10 points, which wouldn't cause significant loss.

"Start the lottery."

[Ding!]

[Lottery completed! Result is empty.]

[10 points deducted. Current remaining points: 920 points.]

"Holy crap!"

"It really is unreliable! It just swindled me out of 10 points again."

"I seriously suspect that the System set this up with malicious intent!"

Chen Yang was filled with indignation!

[Continue the lottery?]

He didn't hesitate.

"Continue!"

[Ding!]

[Lottery completed! Result is empty.]

[10 points deducted. Current remaining points: 910 points.]

"What?"

"Empty again?"

Chen Yang nearly lost control.

Was his luck this terrible today?

"You bastard System, you better watch yourself, next time... you'll see what happens!"

"If you try any more tricks on me, I'll make you pay!"

Chen Yang threatened it fiercely.

He felt a little more confident.

[Continue the lottery?]

He gritted his teeth, enunciating every word.

"Con... tinue!"

[Ding!]

[Lottery completed!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 great strength pill!]

[10 points deducted. Current remaining points: 900 points.]

A small yellow pill dropped from the air.

Chen Yang reached out with his right hand and caught the small pill.

He opened his palm.

The small pill was only the size of a soybean and completely unremarkable.

It looked almost exactly like cold medicine.

"Such a tiny pill, and it's called a great strength pill?"

Chen Yang was half-skeptical.

He tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Having had the experience with the marrow cleansing pill, he shouldn't have to worry about safety.

In an instant, a burning sensation erupted in his stomach and flowed throughout his body.

Chen Yang, being "experienced," immediately rushed to the squat toilet in the restroom and positioned himself.

There was no help for it; the last experience with the marrow cleansing pill had been a profound lesson!

The result—he squatted for a long time, but didn't even pass gas.

He wiped his backside, pushed the door open, and walked out of the stall.

"Crack!"

He had forgotten to unlock the small bolt on the stall door, and it was forcefully broken off by his push.

Yet Chen Yang felt nothing unusual.

"Did I use force? I didn't use force, did I?"

"What's going on?"

"Is the quality too poor?"

Chen Yang picked up the stall door, intending to set it aside.

The entire door felt as light as a feather in his hand; he couldn't feel any weight at all.

"Holy crap!"

"Did my strength really skyrocket?"

Chen Yang became excited.

He tested it again.

He grabbed the restroom countertop with one hand and gently lifted it.

It took no effort at all.

The huge marble countertop was forcibly lifted.

The entire circle of marble adhesive came loose.

How much strength would it take to tear that off?

Not to mention how heavy marble is!

That single lift must have been at least a thousand pounds of force, right?

Having discovered his abnormal brute strength, Chen Yang didn't dare to try anything else recklessly.

He recalled that the [strength evaluation] on his control panel said he lacked Combat Technique.

His strength was trash!

He felt a wave of depression!

"Select the Big Bang Level Lottery!"

"Start the lottery!"

I refuse to believe that with points, I can't draw anything good!

He splurged 100 points!

Draw!

[Ding!]

[Lottery completed!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Combat Technique, Entry Level: Combat Technique.]

[100 points deducted. Current remaining points: 800 points.]

His entire body subtly changed.

His thinking, agility, and reaction time were all comprehensively enhanced.

Some miraculous fighting techniques took root in his mind and formed muscle memory.

As expected of the Big Bang Level, you get what you pay for!

After spending 100 points, he finally obtained a Combat Technique!

"Combat Technique?"

Is this thing... powerful?

Chen Yang wasn't entirely sure.

Suffering from a slight fear of insufficient strength, he decided to upgrade it immediately, preventing himself from being knocked down later.

"Upgrade Combat Technique."

"Upgrade directly to Level 4."

[Ding!]

[Combat Technique has started upgrading!]

[60 points consumed. Combat Technique is upgraded to Level 4, Perfected State, Master Level.]

[Current remaining points: 740 points.]

His whole body underwent a violent transformation.

In his mind, various combat instincts, combat reactions, and Combat Techniques were innovated and renewed.

They were elevated to a new realm.

His bones, muscles, skin, nerve responses, etc., all changed accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yang was promoted from a combat novice to a Combat Technique Master.

All his Combat Technique skills were integrated, refined, and perfected, as if tempered a thousand times.

Reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

"Master! ... Isn't that awesome?"

Chen Yang's heart swelled with excitement.

He couldn't help but check his personal information panel...

[host name] Chen Yang [Host Age] 22 years old [Theoretical Lifespan] 120 years old [system level] Level 2 (3 pieces of yesterday's triggered intelligence + 1 piece of today's triggered intelligence) [Life Skills] Soul-Captivating Hand (Level 3 - Proficient), Driving (Level 3 - Proficient) [Special Skills] Portable Space (Level 2 - 3 cubic meters) [Combat Technique] Combat Technique (Level 4 - Master Level) [Cultivation Method] None [combat power level] Intermediate Soldier King (Consumed great strength pill) [strength evaluation] Relying on Master Level Combat Technique, capable of fighting above rank, challenging High-Ranked Soldier King

... Seeing this strength evaluation, Chen Yang's mood finally improved slightly.

He also gained a little confidence regarding his own safety.

"I refuse to believe that to deal with a celebrity, they would dispatch some kind of expert?"

"As long as they're not stronger than a High-Ranked Soldier King, I can handle them."

Suddenly, the men's restroom door was hammered loudly, "Bang bang."

"Chen Yang, come out quickly! Sister Sisi... she's been kidnapped!"

The voice was panicked and frantic!

It was Xiaoyue!
