279: Qin Zhe: My future self?!

Li Mu wanted to obtain a large number of Deception Points to use for other arrangements.

However, even though the current growth rate of Deception Points was quite rapid, it would still require a long wait to reach the quantity he desired.

Li Mu did not want to wait, as he had no idea when the Sects and Families hidden in the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands would appear.

Time was pressing, and he had to take action; he could not afford to sit idly by.

After careful consideration, Li Mu opened the System and used most of his currently available Deception Points to purchase a character in the Refining Spirit Returning to Void.

Li Mu lightly tapped the purchase button on the System screen, and as the operation completed, a prompt message popped up on the System interface: "Purchase successful!"

Li Mu smiled; the character created, who was in the Refining Spirit Returning to Void, was exactly like Qin Zhe and inherited all of Qin Zhe's memories from childhood to adulthood.

At the same time, information was implanted that he was the future Qin Zhe, a setting of Transmigration back from the future.

The re-fabricated future plot, led and arranged by Li Mu, was implanted into the memory sea of this "Future Qin Zhe."

After the character information was implanted, Li Mu began to customize the appearance special effects for this "Future Qin Zhe."

He planned to obtain Deception Points from everyone in the entire capital city at once, so the special effects for this appearance could not be sloppy!

After a series of modifications, the appearance special effects were finally finalized, and then Li Mu used all his remaining Deception Points to purchase them.

After the successful purchase, the Deception Points balance instantly dried up.

Fortunately, as more and more people believed now, it wouldn't take long for Deception Points to accumulate slowly.

If he didn't do anything else during this period, the Deception Points that would grow later would be enough for him for a while.

At the same time, Linglong and the little fox came to Li Mu's side.

Linglong looked at Li Mu with pitiful, big, innocent eyes.

She directly performed a large-scale 'spicy strip' roll on the ground and kept begging Li Mu for head pats.

"Awoo awoo... Master, Master, Linglong knows she was wrong, Linglong also wants Spirit Stones..."

"Master, Master, Linglong won't dare next time..."

The little fox beside her also looked slightly wronged, with a hint of amusement in her eyes as she watched Linglong rolling around.

She thought to herself, what kind of older sister would snatch her younger brother's Spirit Stones and then resort to violence when she couldn't win an argument?

And now she's rolling on the ground? Master won't pay attention to you...

Linglong's rolling looked as ridiculous as a loach on a hot pan or an ant on a hot stove...

Li Mu listened to the inner thoughts of Linglong and the little fox, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed for a moment, curving up too obviously.

Li Mu covered his mouth with his hand and lightly coughed, saying helplessly, "Linglong, get up first."

Linglong: ???

Li Mu then continued, "Alright, since you have deeply realized your mistake, I will forgive your behavior this time. Don't let it happen again, understood?"

Linglong instantly got up and came to Li Mu's side, lowering her head to admit her mistake for less than three seconds before immediately looking at Li Mu's palm with sparkling eyes.

Li Mu rubbed his forehead, "Linglong, you're really not hiding anything."

You only admitted your mistake for three seconds... I seriously doubt your attitude towards admitting your mistake.

Forget it, on account of your cuteness, I'll give you Spirit Stones!

Li Mu handed the Spirit Stones in his hand to Linglong, who happily took them and cheered with joy.

The little fox beside her was also stunned, not expecting Master's actions.

That's it?!

So I'm the big sucker who got brutally beaten by that silly Linglong for nothing!

Li Mu sensed the change in the little fox's thoughts and waved at the little fox.

Then he gently stroked the fur on the little fox's head and said, "Little fox, your sister Linglong is a bit silly. Don't bother with Linglong. If you still have Qi in your heart, go and give Linglong a good beating!"

Little fox: !!!!!

If I could beat that silly Linglong, I wouldn't be so depressed...

The little fox looked at Li Mu with resentful little eyes.

Li Mu sensed the little fox's thoughts and found it amusing.

"Then there's no other way. Didn't I give you a lot of Spirit Stones before? Plus, the Spiritual Qi in the current Cave Heaven Small World is several times richer. You should work hard on your cultivation, and maybe soon, you can defeat Linglong..."

In the little fox's resentful gaze, Li Mu even chuckled and added, "I'm rooting for you! Go for it..."

The little fox watched her master's departing back, so angry that her mouth puffed out.

Hateful Master, he's actually starting to PUA a fox.

Emmm.

Humans are too scary...

After interacting with the two little ones, Li Mu left the Cave Heaven Small World to attend to his own matters.

...

Meanwhile, in the direction of the capital city.

People came and went on the streets, walking in twos and threes, each with a smiling, chatting expression.

At this moment, in the training ground of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, Qin Zhe, Jin Meiting, and others were not on missions. They were all gathered in the training ground, sparring in twos and threes.

"I feel a bit hot today."

"Haha, how could you not be hot? We've been training for several hours, haven't we!"

"Yes, the fatigue now is nothing. As long as we have strength, we can protect them from being killed by Yao Beasts..."

"If I had Li Mu's strength, I probably wouldn't be scared at all, even if Spiritual Qi Revival happened."

"You're dreaming!"

"Hahahahaha..."

On the training ground, this remark made everyone laugh.

And at this moment, in the Grand Elder's office, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder were chatting.

The Grand Elder looked at the Treasure Seeking Rat eating Peanuts and said with a smile, "Second Elder, has this Treasure Seeking Rat grown a bit?!"

The Second Elder was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to have grown a bit. I wonder if it's been eating too much lately and gotten fat!"

Hearing the words from the two-legged beasts who fed it, the Treasure Seeking Rat stopped eating Peanuts.

Then it turned around and faced its backside towards the Second Elder, indicating its current mood.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder both burst into laughter when they saw the Treasure Seeking Rat's reaction to turning around.

They didn't expect this Treasure Seeking Rat to even understand what 'fat' meant and to act on it.

The Grand Elder smiled and said to the Second Elder beside him, "Second Elder, quickly give the Treasure Seeking Rat more to eat. The Treasure Seeking Rat is angry; be careful, it might go on strike if it's angry."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder also laughed heartily, but his hands moved to take out a handful of Peanuts and place them on the table.

"Haha... Yes, I can't let my great general get angry..."

The Treasure Seeking Rat was originally still facing its backside towards the Second Elder, but when it saw the Second Elder take out large handfuls of Peanuts, its backbone instantly went out the window.

It thought to itself, 'Forget it, I won't bother with you two-legged beasts.'

'Since you sincerely offer Peanuts to admit your mistake, I will graciously forgive you!'

Then it turned around and faced its backside towards the Grand Elder, savoring the Peanuts on the table...
