53: Chapter 53 Dissecting the Mysterious Disease, Dragon and Tiger Secret Strategy

"Oh? An opportunity to become a true Martial Artist?"

Lu Yunsong's voice didn't betray any extra emotion; it remained that same calm, indifferent tone.

"Mm, I understand."

"Continue with your work. When you're off the clock, I'll have Qingran come over and give you the item you want."

With that, he finished speaking.

The call disconnected.

Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.

The White Ape Health-Preserving Secret Pile could allow him to refine and condense five Acupoints.

But.

To become a true Martial Artist, one had to condense nine Acupoints.

Therefore, he definitely needed a higher-level cultivation method than the White Ape Health-Preserving Secret Pile.

As a Martial Artist, Lu Yunsong...

...would certainly have one.

But whether he would produce high-quality goods was purely a matter of character; it was no different from opening a blind box.

However, Qin Feng currently had no other choice.

"Back to work then."

Qin Feng picked up the dissection chainsaw and the boning knife.

He continued to dismember the corpse of the Six-Winged Weird Python Tiger in front of him.

At the same time.

He multi-tasked, looking at his crimson cheat panel.

His gaze focused on the "Martial Arts Foundation" column.

Martial Arts Foundation:

1. Deconstruction of All Things: Dissecting for Hidden Treasures (76%)

2. Heavenly Breathing: Deep Sleep Fetal Breath (12%)

The titan blood crystals he had dissected over the past few days, combined with that mysterious Dragon Pearl, had a significant effect on increasing his proficiency in "Dissecting for Hidden Treasures."

A few more days.

Once his proficiency reached Perfection.

"Dissecting for Hidden Treasures" should, like the previous "Strong Viscera Turtle Breath"...

...undergo a transformation.

And give rise to even more Advanced abilities and effects.

"In terms of skills, the assistance of treasures can influence the level and direction of skill enhancement, making the skill effects even more powerful."

"I wonder if this special Martial Arts Foundation can also evolve and become stronger through treasures or some kind of mystical means?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but ponder.

The so-called "Dissecting for Hidden Treasures" was mainly divided into two parts:

Anatomy of items.

Searching for treasures.

The more precious the treasure found, the higher the proficiency gain.

But Qin Feng had no control over this.

It was purely down to luck.

As for the items being dissected...

...he could choose those.

"Since I obtained the Anatomy skill, I've basically been dissecting giant beast corpses every day. As for other things... I haven't tried dissecting them yet."

Qin Feng's mind grew active.

The so-called "Deconstruction of All Things."

What it deconstructed was naturally not just the corpses of giant beasts.

But all things in the world.

As an Anatomy worker at the Giant Beast Factory, Qin Feng had subconsciously stayed in his comfort zone, with no thought of stepping out.

But now.

He planned to take on a challenge.

To try dissecting things other than giant beast corpses.

To test other ways of utilizing "Dissecting for Hidden Treasures."

And increase the diversity of its evolution and transformation.

"Besides giant beast corpses, what kind of corpses are most common here in the Lower City?"

Qin Feng thought.

But soon his mouth twitched.

His expression became somewhat strange.

Besides giant beast corpses... the most common, without a doubt, were human corpses.

Or to be precise.

The corpses of "Lower City people."

Moreover, within the "Bailang District" where he lived, the "whispering syndrome" ghostly disease was currently breaking out. The special medicine was incredibly expensive, and many people who couldn't afford it were beginning to collapse, mutate, and die in increasing numbers.

Qin Feng wouldn't even need to put in much effort.

He just had to search through the trash heaps.

He might find a mutated corpse or two that no one was looking after.

"Speaking of which, this so-called 'whispering syndrome' ghostly disease should be something created by those demons hidden in the Lower City."

"If I dissect a corpse that died from this 'whispering syndrome' ghostly disease."

"With the effect of 'Dissecting for Hidden Treasures.'"

"Maybe..."

"I can find the root cause of this disease?"

Qin Feng's heart stirred.

Anatomy is the final whisper a corpse offers to the world.

Those demons hidden in the Lower City released the ghostly disease to create a large-scale scene of death, making it easy to harvest human lives like leeks for their so-called "Demon Food Festival."

Whether it was the Upper City's tacit approval and indifference.

Or the expensive price of medicine.

They were all accomplices.

They were the executioners holding the butcher's knife over the people's heads.

Only when the "crops" had fallen would this feast of death cease.

But...

An idea popped into Qin Feng's head:

"If I find the root cause of this 'whispering syndrome' ghostly disease and perfectly cure it without relying on the so-called special medicine, I can stop this large-scale death."

"In that case, wouldn't I also be able to slow down the progress of the demons' 'Demon Food Festival'?"

Once the "Demon Food Festival" truly began.

The slaughter.

Would reach its peak.

The "Bailang District" would become a Demon Food Hell.

Qin Feng couldn't guarantee he would actually survive.

And under Lu Yunsong's surveillance...

...he couldn't leave at all.

So...

The only thing Qin Feng could think of was to try his best to slow down the start of this "Demon Food Festival" to buy himself more time to develop and grow stronger!

"Yeah, that's a viable idea."

"Next, I can find an opportunity to dissect a few corpses that died from the 'whispering syndrome' ghostly disease and try to examine the cause of the illness."

The day's work soon passed.

Qin Feng left the Dissection Workshop.

And went to the office.

Just as he entered.

"Manager Qin~"

A sweet, delicate voice reached his ears.

He saw Lu Qingran greeting him with an enthusiastic look.

The office was filled with fragrance.

In just a few hours.

The entire office had been completely transformed.

Not only was the floor gleaming and the walls refurbished, but the desk, office chair, coffee table, and even that old beast-Hide sofa had all been replaced.

They were replaced with a new, high-end, luxurious office set.

Especially that sofa.

It was practically like a bed.

It was even filled with some kind of liquid; the surface... no, the sofa surface was soft and elastic. Lying on it would obviously be extremely comfortable.

In the air.

A very soothing incense wafted.

The sight made Qin Feng pause for a moment. He turned his head to look outside, momentarily doubting if he had walked into the wrong office.

"Manager Qin, look, I specifically went to the Upper City to purchase this luxury premium office set for you."

"If you get tired at work in the future, you can come over here and lie down."

"You can even stay overnight."

"It's also equipped with a shower and even a miniature kitchen."

"I will be with you the whole time, giving you meticulous service and care, including accompanying you in the bath and warming your bed~"

Lu Qingran winked at Qin Feng.

She gave a charming smile that was sweet enough to kill:

"I've already spoken with Manager Lu. From today on, I will not only be your Firearms Instructor but also your Private Secretary."

"If you tell me to go east, I won't dare go west; if you tell me to go forward, I won't dare go back."

"Even if you want me to eat a special little hamburger..."

"Stop!"

This woman's voice was cloyingly sweet, and Qin Feng's ears were practically growing calluses from listening.

He hurriedly cut her off.

He naturally had no interest in her talk of "service" or "warming the bed."

A crisis hung over his head.

And he carried secrets on him.

Qin Feng would not let anyone get close to him, especially this woman, who was Lu Yunsong's cousin and whose mind inevitably had some mental issues due to "Flesh Modification."

Glancing at Lu Qingran, who had specifically changed into a black hip-hugging professional outfit...

...Qin Feng quickly looked away.

He placed the transparent glass box containing today's harvest of titan blood crystals on the desk.

Then he said to Lu Qingran:

"Where is the... thing Manager Lu told you to give me?"

"The item is here."

Hearing this, a strange light flickered in Lu Qingran's eyes.

She took an object...

...out from the deep cleavage of her chest.

And held it between two fingers:

"This is a 'martial arts chip.' Inside is a martial arts cultivation method called the 'Dragon Tiger Secret Pile.'"
