48: Chapter 48 Lingmi

After claiming all the rewards, Chen Hu grasped the Intermediate exotic beast meat card and mentally commanded to use it.

Suddenly, a piece of cooked meat weighing fifty catties, emitting a strange fragrance, appeared in his hand.

"It's exotic beast meat!"

Chen Hu was secretly delighted. He discovered that the exotic beast meat obtained this time had a stronger fragrance, so it should be of a higher Rank.

After putting the fifty-catty exotic beast meat into his Storage Ring, he pondered how to carry out his work.

After thinking about it, he decided to keep things as they were.

He had loyalty cards, which could be used on three people every day.

The Third Battle Hall only had a little over a hundred people.

It would only take forty-plus days to make everyone in the Third Battle Hall his loyal followers; there was no need to resort to power plays or balancing techniques.

Besides, after he became the Hall Master, there was an extra position for a Chief Henchman and two Deputy Hall Masters.

He could directly decide on the Chief Henchman position, but the Deputy Hall Master positions would likely need to be arranged by the General Hall.

Not long after, Song He, Da Niu, and Er Niu arrived together.

"Boss, congratulations on becoming the Hall Master!"

Chen Hu said, "I've been promoted, and the original Chief Henchman position is now vacant. Don't say I didn't give you guys a chance!"

While speaking, Chen Hu took out the exotic beast meat gifted by Nangong Hongyan and divided it into three portions.

"This exotic beast meat, one piece for each of you. Whoever makes a Breakthrough to the Late Skin Refining Stage first, I will recommend them to be the Chief Henchman!"

"Boss, this is too precious, we can't accept it!" Song He took a step back and shook his head.

"That's right, Boss, it's too precious. If we take it, we really wouldn't know how to repay you!" Da Niu also said with a solemn expression.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Take it if I tell you to. If you keep talking, don't blame me for beating you up!" Chen Hu snorted coldly.

Seeing Chen Hu getting angry, the three of them dared not refuse and each took a piece of exotic beast meat, solemnly hiding it in their robes.

They knew in their hearts that this exotic beast meat was not something they could enjoy; if exposed, it would likely bring disaster.

"Boss, shall we celebrate tonight?" Da Niu asked.

"There's no need for that. Go back and Cultivate properly!" Chen Hu waved his hand.

"Yes!" The three said in unison, then bade farewell and left.

After they left, Chen Hu went to his private room.

He closed the door and began to refine the bones in his left limb.

The refining speed was not slow, but compared to the cultivation rewarded by the martial arts cultivation card, the efficiency was far worse.

Chen Hu estimated that it would take him at least a month to completely refine the bones of his two lower limbs.

Why did the cultivation rewarded by the martial arts cultivation card finish refining his upper limbs in just a few days?

The reason was simple: the cultivation from one day of the martial arts cultivation card referred to the results of him Cultivating for twenty-four hours straight.

But in reality, he could not Cultivate twenty-four hours a day.

Time passed unconsciously until noon.

Chen Hu did not go to a nearby restaurant to eat, but walked towards Widow Wang's house.

When he arrived at Widow Wang's house, she was eating.

She was eating very simply, just a plate of stir-fried green vegetables and a plate of scrambled eggs.

"Brother Hu, why are you here?"

"Have you eaten? If not, I'll serve you some rice!" Seeing Chen Hu arrive, Widow Wang was very happy.

"Go and cut this meat!" Chen Hu took a piece of braised beef from his Storage Ring and handed it to Widow Wang.

"Alright, Brother Hu!" After responding, Widow Wang took the braised beef to the kitchen.

Before long, she returned with a plate of sliced braised beef and rice.

Chen Hu took the rice and sat down to eat.

After the meal, when Widow Wang finished cleaning up the dishes, Chen Hu asked her to sit down.

"You are currently practicing martial arts, you need to eat more meat!"

As he spoke, he took out a large ingot of silver and placed it on the table.

"This is for you to buy meat to eat!"

"Brother Hu, thank you!"

This time, Widow Wang did not stand on ceremony with Chen Hu and directly accepted the silver.

"Also, you should eat this too!"

Chen Hu took out the Body Tempering Pill and handed it to Widow Wang.

He didn't need the Body Tempering Pill, but it had great benefits for Widow Wang, who had just started practicing martial arts.

Widow Wang took the Body Tempering Pill without a word and swallowed it.

"By the way, I am now the Hall Master of the Fierce Tiger Gang's Third Battle Hall!" Chen Hu said with a smile.

"Really? Brother Hu, you are too amazing!" Widow Wang said with pleasant surprise.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Brother Hu, now that you are a Hall Master, shouldn't you take a wife? If you don't mind, I can help you look for one!"

"There's no need for that!" Chen Hu waved his hand.

"I don't have any plans to take a wife for the time being!"

He had secrets, and if he took a wife, it would be easy to expose them.

It wouldn't be too late to consider taking a wife after he became stronger.

But Chen Hu's refusal sounded different in Widow Wang's ears; she thought Chen Hu didn't want to take a wife because of her.

"Brother Hu, let me bear you a child!"

Widow Wang leaned in, fragrant and soft.

It had to be said that since she started Cultivating, Widow Wang's beauty had improved even more.

"Alright!" Chen Hu scooped Widow Wang up into his arms and walked towards the bedroom with large strides.

More than an hour later, Chen Hu walked out of Widow Wang's house with a relaxed expression, and walked slowly towards the Slum Area courtyard.

He had to go over and see if any new lackeys had come to join him today.

After he arrived, he found that there really were some.

However, there weren't as many as yesterday, only a dozen or so.

Chen Hu didn't mind this.

He directly accepted them as his lackeys and arranged for them to move into the courtyard.

However, he still used the copy card to check their talent.

Regrettably, not to mention Earth-grade talent, there wasn't even Yellow Grade talent; they were all Mortal Body.

"Brother Hu, I have a suggestion!" Old Zhao came up and said to Chen Hu.

"Speak!"

Old Zhao said, "Brother Hu, I think you should hire a manager to manage the money and keep accounts.

There are so many children being raised here, and the daily expenses are quite high.

If no one manages the accounts, it's easy for the accounts to become chaotic!"

"Old Zhao, your suggestion is very good. In two days, I will arrange for a manager to come over!" Chen Hu nodded.

"By the way, have you gotten used to working here these days?"

"It's quite good, the work isn't tiring!"

"That's good!" Chen Hu nodded.

After chatting with Old Zhao for a few more words, Chen Hu sent him away.

He brought up the lottery page.

He only obtained one Elementary lottery.

The number of lackeys accepted this time was only 16, exactly one short, otherwise he could have obtained two Elementary lotteries.

"System, use the Elementary lottery!"

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a grain card. The prize has been issued to the System space, please claim it yourself!"

The next moment, Chen Hu took out the card.

The corresponding information appeared in his mind.

This grain card could produce 100 catties to 10,000 catties of grain every day.

The grain was divided into ordinary grain and spirit grain.

"Use!"

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining 200 catties of spirit rice!"

"Not bad luck!" Chen Hu smiled.

This spirit rice was also a scarce cultivation resource.

Basically, it would not circulate on the market, and the price per catty was about 5 taels of silver.

With a thought, Chen Hu directly let the System transfer these 200 catties of spirit rice into his Storage Ring.

What was the use of this spirit rice?

Long-term consumption could nourish the Physical Body and increase strength.

If a martial arts practitioner ate spirit rice every day, their cultivation speed would definitely far exceed others.

On the way back, Chen Hu took out the connection card and performed a connection draw.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Ding-Rank connection. Do you wish to use it?"

An Yi-Rank connection allowed him to know Nangong Hongyan, and a Bing-Rank connection allowed him to know the Gang Leader Gao Zhan.

Then this Ding-Rank connection should at least be an Elder-level connection, right?

"Use!"

Putting away the card, Chen Hu waited for the new connection to take the initiative to come to him.
