10: Eat instant noodles?
Inside the smoothly driving car, Hei Mei still looked at the man beside her in disbelief: "You killed all five of them by yourself?!"
"Mm." Li Quan responded briefly.
Most of his thoughts were currently on the System.
"Ding, Host saved Hei Mei on behalf of protagonist Lin Fan, rewarding Host 3000 points. Current points: 7000."
"Protagonist Lin Fan's Luck points decreased by 100."
"System, can these few guns I just bought be returned?" Li Quan looked at the guns in his storage space, his face pained.
Just moments ago.
The System had updated the weapon store, and finally, guns appeared in the store!
However, these guns only came with one magazine, and bullets were not sold in the store at all!
The price of the guns was also ridiculously expensive.
"Ding, items from the System are non-refundable."
Alright, although he had expected it, Li Quan still felt the System's strong malice.
This Host, you don't understand not to rely on firearms. In this world with ancient martial arts, engaging with ancient martial arts is the true Dao.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly had an inspiration.
"Ding, System updated to version 2.0!"
"Version 2.0 Great Villain System, update content: Recycle."
Recycle: Host can exchange anything you deem valuable for points with the System.
Hint: Ancient Martial Arts Secret Manuals have extremely high recycling value.
"It actually updated this function." Li Quan's heart was delighted... "Then who are you, and why did you save me?"
Hei Mei was surprised by the man's composure.
"I didn't save you, I just had a grudge with those people. Saving you was a side benefit."
"Is that so?" With a hint of suspicion in her eyes, Hei Mei couldn't find any other reason.
"Cough cough." 'Just then,' Li Quan coughed out two mouthfuls of blood foam.
"What's wrong with you?!"
Seeing the man's face turn pale, Hei Mei's delicate brows furrowed.
In the next moment, she clearly saw a large pool of blood on the backrest of Li Quan's driver's seat!
Looking closely, the man had been shot in the back!
"You're injured!" Seeing the blood, Hei Mei's heart clenched: "We need to go to the Hospital!"
"This is a gunshot wound, go to the Hospital?" Li Quan shook his head, his mouth pressed shut as he parked the car in the garage.
During this time, his face was visibly turning paler.
"Alright, you can go now."
"What about you? What about your injury?" Hei Mei stared intently at the wound on Li Quan's back, momentarily unsure why the man was still trying to hold on.
"I'm used to dealing with my own injuries." Li Quan said, a sense of loneliness emerging. Under the blessing of the Gentleman's Medal, this emotion, which resonated with people, doubled.
Hei Mei felt a lump in her throat and couldn't speak. In her eyes, this man had a story.
"Thud." The 'obviously struggling' Li Quan fainted.
Whether intentionally or not, his keycard fell beside Hei Mei.
"If I really leave, I'm afraid I'll never forgive myself." Looking at the unconscious Li Quan, Hei Mei's heart was touched.
Although this man had a grudge with those killers, to her, he was still her savior!
Picking up the keycard, Hei Mei helped Li Quan up and got out of the car.
"System, I didn't give myself away, did I?" The 'unconscious' Li Quan communicated with Ye Tian in his mind.
"Please trust the Grandmaster-level acting produced by the System."
"I trust it!"
After a moment of hesitation, Li Quan asked Ye Tian: "System, can your updated Recycle channel recycle everything?"
"The System will evaluate the value of recycled items. If the value is less than 1 point, it will not be exchanged." Ye Tian said this, vaguely imagining what Li Quan was about to do.
"Then does the System collect corpses? I still have six corpses in my storage space, and it's full."
Ye Tian: ...Good heavens, he's treating him like an incinerator.
"After evaluation, total value: 6 points. Do you wish to recycle and convert to points?"
Ye Tian did not refuse.
If he wanted, by injecting energy into these corpses, he could directly create six burly men like Man Niu, who were at Profound Rank Perfection.
A profitable business with no losses.
"Recycle!" Although the points were ridiculously low, for Li Quan, the main purpose was to free up space in his storage.
On the other side.
After dealing with the police station matters through his connections, Lin Fan arrived at Hei Mei's apartment.
Seeing that the house was empty, Lin Fan dialed Hei Mei's telephone.
No one answered.
"Something happened?" Thinking of this, a nameless irritation rose in Lin Fan's heart, as if something that should have belonged to him had been taken away. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
He couldn't contact Hei Mei, and she hadn't contacted him either. It seemed very likely that she had been taken by the Ghost Tooth Killers!
If it weren't for those troublesome guys delaying his time, he would have arrived here sooner!
Thinking of the source of the ultimate trouble, Lin Fan made another mental note against Li Quan.
He found a string of numbers on his telephone.
This was given to him by his Master, an assassin organization. He had originally planned to contact them to assassinate Li Quan, but now he had to use them prematurely.
Ghost Tooth was also an assassin organization. The assassin organization his Master left behind would surely have information about Ghost Tooth, allowing him to find Hei Mei's location... When Li Quan opened his eyes.
His upper body was already wrapped in a bandage.
And Hei Mei was typing on his computer on a nearby sofa.
Seeing this, Li Quan didn't mind.
The System had already helped him hide some confidential information on his computer, so he wasn't afraid of Hei Mei finding anything.
"You're awake?"
Seeing the man open his eyes, a trace of complexity appeared in Hei Mei's eyes: "You are the current chairman of Lis Group—Li Quan?"
For Hei Mei, as long as she had a device that could connect to the internet, it wasn't difficult to find someone.
She was familiar with the only son of Lis Group before.
The reason she didn't recognize him was simply that the Li Quan she formally met today had a completely different temperament from how he appeared online.
A gentle and melancholic temperament, which was like two extremes compared to what she had originally found online.
"You know?" Li Quan slowly got up, showing just the right amount of surprise: "My personal appearance is confidential. To find my information with just a computer, you're very good with computers?"
"I just searched randomly." Hei Mei subconsciously denied it.
She wondered what kind of joke fate was playing.
Two days ago, to help Lin Fan, she deliberately slandered Lis Group, causing Lis Group to completely collapse.
And today, she was saved by the very person she had harmed.
Although their time together was short, Hei Mei's perception of Li Quan had undergone a drastic change. She even felt that she was the one who had done wrong!
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave."
Li Quan said casually, putting on his clothes at the same time.
"I..." Hei Mei was a little embarrassed: "Can I stay at your place for two days?"
"I just checked and found that more Ghost Tooth Killers have already arrived in Mo Hai City. Now, I'm afraid if I step out, I'll be caught!"
Expected words.
Li Quan admired the System's ability.
Even the world's top hackers would find it difficult to circumvent the false information deployed by the System.
"Can you do laundry, cook, and play games?"
"Yes!" Hearing Li Quan's question, Hei Mei's eyes sparkled: "I'm very good at games!"
"Then go cook first. There are ingredients in the refrigerator."
"Ah..." Hei Mei's small face fell.
A few minutes later, Hei Mei ran out of the kitchen, clutching her finger, which she had cut while chopping vegetables, her face full of pain.
"How about we eat instant noodles?" With a band-aid on, the woman was a little embarrassed.
Li Quan was stunned, looking at the few packets of instant noodles in the corner...
