327: Chapter 327 The God of Wealth Arrives
After the verification meeting ended, Tang Long went with Dragon Head to a temporary hospital to see the soldiers who had been exposed to his radiation.
It could be confirmed that these people had indeed been catalyzed by the Holy Dragon Power, but the degree of catalysis was not high.
After Tang Long conducted several experiments, he discovered they were still missing one most critical catalyst.
Psionic energy.
The five soldiers to whom he had personally transmitted psionic energy not only quickly escaped danger but also underwent a transformation that was like being reborn, opening the eyes of Dragon Head and the two Dragon Group members.
Dragon Head hoped he could finish modifying the remaining soldiers as well, but Tang Long shook his head and refused.
"The restrictions on my consciousness returning are significant. Using too much psionic energy will significantly shorten my time here."
"It has been quite a while since this return, and I could have to go back at any moment."
"I still need to save some time for myself to find a place to stay."
Dragon Head frowned. "You don't intend to stay? I can arrange a ready-made underground secret room. It's quite far from confidential locations and made entirely of earth and stone, so the impact should be controllable."
Tang Long waved his hand. "No need. I'm going to space. There are still some things to confirm."
Dragon Head sighed, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to him. "Alright then. On this paper are the locations of 100 Dragon Group safe houses around the world. You can activate them at any time."
Tang Long took the paper, looked at it, then produced flames in his hand to burn it. He said thanks, then soared into the air.
Watching Tang Long burrow into the sky like a meteor, Dragon Head couldn't help but sigh again.
A subordinate next to him asked, "Chief, are you just going to let him go like that?"
Another muttered, "A dangerous person like this might cause some trouble."
"He is a Dark Walker, a spy, an assassin, a mercenary, and a thief. Isn't it normal for him to cause trouble?"
Dragon Head left this sentence behind and turned to leave.

In the Song City secret laboratory, Jiang Hanwen rushed into the experimental room and sprayed Tang Long on the platform with a fire extinguisher. Bubbles and powder quickly extinguished the flames.
Tang Long coughed several times, shook off the scorched clothing and circuits on his body, and rolled to the ground.
"Stop spraying, stop spraying, it's choking!"
As Tang Long spoke, he coughed out another flame, scaring Jiang Hanwen into taking two or three steps back.
"Little Tang, what exactly is going on with you? Your body temperature just soared past 300 degrees!"
"It probably hasn't come down yet. If you keep burning like this, your life will be in danger!"
Tang Long was also dizzy from the heat. He swayed slightly as he stood up but waved his hand.
"Normal phenomenon. It's within an acceptable range."
"You call a body temperature of 300 degrees normal? Even if you can handle it, the instruments and circuits can't."
"Then replace them with high-temperature resistant Materials. Also, make me some high-temperature resistant clothes."
"You make it sound so easy."
Jiang Hanwen snorted. "During the day you just made Xiao Lan feel so ashamed she had no place to hide, and now you come back to treat me like a servant. Do you have no shame?"
"Xiao Lan is a proud child. You must know what she means to you."
"But you hurt her heart so much that she went home and cried in secret. As her father, I won't stand for that!"
Tang Long sighed. "Uncle Jiang, Xiao Lan is a good girl. It's me who isn't worthy of her."
"Let me be honest with you. With the thunder hanging over my head right now, I can't possibly withstand it forever."
"Maybe one day, when one falls, it will smash everything around me to pieces."
"I want to cut off Xiao Lan's hopes to protect the Jiang Family."
Looking at his sincere eyes, Jiang Hanwen gradually calmed down and shook his head.
"It's almost dawn. Go take a shower first. I'll have your clothes ready in a while."
"The instrument circuits won't be finished replacing until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
"Also, this time you were unconscious for over five hours. Do you want to lower the dosage next time?"
Tang Long hurriedly waved his hand. "No! No need to lower it. For now... keep it the same."
After showering and changing into a special martial arts uniform, it was already dawn when he left the Jiang Family.
Tang Long walked on the main road, looking at the sun covered by a black hand, constantly thinking back on his experiences on Earth.
Especially... Dragon Head.
That meeting at the Dragon Group secret base was very sudden, very thoughtless, and looking back, very rash.
This didn't seem like something a commander who had held the lifeline of the nation for many years would do.
Unless... he had another purpose.
As he thought, Tang Long's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Could it be that he deliberately didn't keep me in the Dragon Group because he wanted me to act alone?"
Following this line of thought and re-evaluating, many questions were suddenly explained, and Tang Long felt a sense of clarity.
Looking forward and looking back, from these two different time perspectives, it is impossible to reach the same conclusion and attitude.
Therefore, his own proposal was almost impossible to get support from most people.
Dragon Head must have thought of this, which is why he intentionally arranged that verification meeting to force him to make a decision.
In reality, even if he joined the Dragon Group, it would be difficult to get much help, and instead, he would be bound by certain rules.
With these constraints, a lot of time would be wasted, which would ruin important matters.
To implement his own ideas, he must remain outside the rules!
If this was Dragon Head's true intention, then Tang Long could only say... this old man is truly wise to the point of being demonic!
He calculated reality and human hearts into his bones, and his reaction was so quick and decisive—he is worthy of being a commander-level figure!
Also!
At the end of the paper Dragon Head gave him were some strange coordinates and times. At the time, he didn't understand the meaning, because those coordinates were not any location on Earth.
But Tang Long suddenly realized at this moment that those coordinates were simply the coordinates in the heavenly change game, and the location should be in Dongyu!
The old man was asking to meet him in the game!
Because it was hard to judge which landing point he could appear at, he had noted one near each of the five major camps!
The time...
The nearest time point is in five hours!

[Law + 1!]
When he returned to Jin Yue, Tang Long's Law had just reached 10 points.
The Sun Spirit Core within his Qi dantian immediately grew quite a bit, but he felt his body temperature rise again. Even with his super-high tolerance, it was very hard to bear.
In the room, Shang Yuqing had already seen Tang Long return and was holding her arms, wording her thoughts, preparing to give him a little reprimand.
However, Tang Long only glanced at her when he entered the door, then rushed into the bathroom, threw off his clothes, and turned on the cold water.
As the cold water poured over his body, bursts of mist rose rapidly, and he felt a little better.
But the burning sensation in his heart was getting more and more severe.
Shang Yuqing hurriedly came over to ask: "Tang Long, what's wrong with you? Is it..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was scooped up by a large hand, and her mouth was completely blocked.
That suffocating temperature made her directly go limp.
Over an hour later, her fair arms climbed out of the bathtub, moaning like a murmur.
"It's killing me~ You guy, why are you so powerful today, and why are you so hot?"
Tang Long felt much better and asked with a bad smile: "Are you asking about me or my guy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately got a backhand slap from Shang Yuqing.
"Seriously, did you get burned? My psionic energy is a bit out of control."
Shang Yuqing slapped him again. "With such a good thing, why don't you go find your Ice Beauty? You only know how to torment me!"
"She is still a virgin; she can't handle it."
"You dead ghost! If I hadn't been practicing diligently these past few days, I would have been shattered by you. But are you okay?"
"The problem isn't big. Two more times and it should be better."
"Wait! I must tell you, Elder Zheng came early in the morning and has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Let him wait. This matter is urgent."
Another hour later, Tang Long walked out of the room feeling refreshed, smoking a cigarette, and came to the reception room.
Elder Zheng was leading a six or seven-year-old child, clearly having waited impatiently.
"Kid, you have such a big ego now. I, an old man, have to wait so long to see you?"
"You are exaggerating, Elder. I only just returned from the Jiang Family at dawn and came here as soon as I finished some urgent business."
"That's more like it."
Elder Zheng snorted and pointed at the child.
"We agreed before that you would teach this child for me."
Tang Long crouched down and carefully examined this boy. He saw that his whole body was round, his little face was chubby, and he was very lovable.
But this child... was very special.
Even his Fire Eye couldn't see the psionic energy meridians in his body, and even the Detection was mostly question marks.
"Elder Zheng, this child is not an ordinary person. Your grandson?"
Elder Zheng was somewhat proud. "Of course. Daqian, my precious, how did Grandpa teach you at home? Call him Teacher Tang."
The little fatty wailed and cried, hiding behind Elder Zheng.
Tang Long also waved his hands. "That won't do."
Elder Zheng immediately pulled a long face. "Are you going to break your promise?"
"It's not breaking a promise. It's just that this child is too special, and I'm afraid I can't teach him. Besides, seeing his reaction to me, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to learn from me either."
"Stop making excuses. Don't I know your abilities? Daqian, listen to Grandpa and call him Teacher Tang."
"Grandpa, this person is too scary, I don't want to learn from him~~"
The little fatty cried even harder, not daring to come forward at all.
Elder Zheng's old face darkened. "What are you afraid of? Teacher Tang is Grandpa's student and also your father's good friend."
"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn anything~~ Grandpa, please don't force me, I don't want to learn anything except eating and sleeping~~"
"My precious, how can you not learn good skills? Our family has such a large estate; we can't keep it without skills."
"I won't learn, I won't learn~~ Ah ah~~ I won't learn~~"
"Daqian, what kind of talk is this? I'm going to tell your dad when we go back!"
"I won't learn no matter who you tell~~"
The little fatty cried and screamed, simply rolling on the ground while hugging Elder Zheng's ankle.
No matter how Elder Zheng persuaded him, it was useless. He couldn't do anything about it, and his expression was very awkward.
But Tang Long was suddenly stunned. "Elder Zheng, is your grandson's name Zheng Daqian? The 'qian' for money or the 'qian' for heaven and earth?"
Elder Zheng sighed. "According to my wishes, it should be the 'qian' for money, but his father insisted on changing it to the 'qian' for heaven and earth."
"Earning money should be done openly and generously, earning a lot—what's wrong with that?"
"Sigh, the change makes no sense!"
"So this child has been difficult since he was born. He clearly has peerless talent, a photographic memory, and understands everything instantly, but he is just so lazy."
"It's my fault for spoiling him since he was little. Who told him to be the only seedling of my Zheng Family?"
"Forget it. Since he is so stubborn, I won't force you either..."
"Wait!"
Seeing that he was about to give up, Tang Long immediately called him to stop.
If this child was really the Zheng Daqian he knew, then he really had to take this apprentice.
Zheng Daqian, Zheng Daqian...
He was the second person after the Yuanwu God to become a god from a Mortal on Blue Sea!
And to some extent, he was even more special than the Yuanwu God.
The Yuanwu God stepped forward step by step and cultivated to that height by sheer force.
But Zheng Daqian achieved it as a pure god of faith—the God of Wealth.
He seemed naturally extremely good at making money and was the most sought-after NPC for players for a long time—because the rewards for taking his quests were exceptionally generous.
His strength was hard to describe; he seemed to be at the bottom of the same Realm at every stage.
He was often beaten and ran around the world, but he could always smash his enemies with piles and piles of money.
Later, because he caused the financial collapse of the Blue Sea Federation, he was viewed with hostility by the Blue Sea people and even the Blue God, almost dying under divine punishment.
Then he did the most outrageous thing in his life—he used an uncountable amount of money to buy out the world's faith in the Blue God!
The Blue God, having lost his believers, saw his strength drop significantly and was finally killed by the experts he hired.
The facts forced many people to believe that he had enough money to buy a god's life.
As a result, the legends about him later became a new faith, and he truly became a god.
It was truly unimaginable that he was actually Elder Zheng's grandson and had been sent to him?
Chasing away the God of Wealth—wouldn't he be the number one idiot in the world?
