The two men's gazes fell on Qin Sheng, who made no attempt to hide his interest, looking at them with amusement.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this...?" Green didn't understand, he didn't understand at all.

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Sheng feigned ignorance: "Just bad luck, or is it..."

The voice paused for a moment: "You don't want to lend me the money anymore?"

Green's lips twitched: "Mr. Qin is joking."

"Then let's continue."

Qin Sheng said leisurely, "We can't just run away after winning, can we?"

Old Zhou swallowed hard: "Of course not."

"That's good."

After the two cards were dealt, Qin Sheng slowly said, "We have a saying where I'm from: 'Going all in' is a kind of wisdom, so, go all in."

Old Zhou: ...

Green: ...

Old Zhou took a deep breath; the moment of truth had arrived.

But he never expected that the cheating skills he had practiced for so many years were not for winning, but for losing!

When it was his turn to draw cards, fortunately he realized at the beginning of this round that he couldn't play like a regular game and was dealt two high cards directly.

This time, he's going to take the initiative and explode!

When he flipped over the card, Old Zhou's face froze.

It didn't explode?

"pity."

A nightmarish voice rang out, and Qin Sheng leisurely flipped over the cards: "It's a bust."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became deathly silent, and the two felt their hearts pounding louder than ever before.

"This isn't fun either."

Qin Sheng suddenly spoke up: "How about this, lend me a hundred, let's go all in at once."

“This…” Green’s face stiffened: “I don’t have that many.”

"Is that so..."

Qin Sheng pondered for a moment: "I wonder if you accept mortgages here?"

"mortgage?"

“That’s right, I’ll offer you a batch of goods as collateral.”

Green was taken aback: "You mean live weapons?"

To his surprise, Qin Sheng shook his head and took out a jade bottle.

"This is?"

Green sensed something was amiss. Qin Sheng had deliberately lost so much, and now he was offering to pawn something, as if it was all for the sake of this plate of dumplings.

“Merge the pills,” Qin Sheng said leisurely.

"Integration?"

"That's right, this is my recent achievement, and the power of the alien beast is naturally fused into it."

"Recent achievements?"

Green knew Qin Sheng's identity; weren't the drugs used on the cultists already quite sophisticated?

This doesn't seem very appealing now.

"Since it's the latest achievement, there are naturally some differences."

Green's reaction was within Qin Sheng's expectations, after all, the city lord was well aware of the potion's effects.

Qin Sheng then pushed the pill onto the table and said quietly, "Compared to the previous potions, the biggest difference is that it won't be subject to my restrictions."

Old Zhou and Green's pupils contracted, and they both fixed their gazes on the jade bottle.

Won't be subject to Qin Sheng's restrictions?!

Doesn't that mean that even if they obtain the abilities of the beasts, they don't need to become believers or obey Qin Sheng's orders to gain strength far exceeding that of their peers?

Judging from their reactions, Qin Sheng knew he had it all figured out.

Just as Green thought, he did indeed lose money on purpose, just to find an excuse to take out the fusion pill.

Green took a deep breath to calm his agitated heart.

Qin Sheng's statement was ultimately only one side of the story. Whether the effects of this fusion pill were the same as the potions taken by the believers, no one knew.

But he was indeed a little tempted.

"However, it also has its drawbacks."

Qin Sheng continued, "Compared to the potions used by believers, fusion pills cannot inherit the basic strengths of alien beasts, such as power and speed."

"All it can bring is the special abilities of the strange beasts."

Qin Sheng gave an example: "This fusion pill uses the power of the Angry Lion. You should be familiar with this kind of beast."

Green nodded: "The Angry Lion's power will gradually increase during the battle, as if it is gradually becoming angrier."

"That's right. This pill won't greatly improve the basics like strength, nor will it directly allow a martial artist to break through. It only incorporates the ability of the Angry Lion."

"That is to say, the longer the battle lasts, the greater the power increase, up to about three times."

Qin Sheng gave an explanation.

Compared to systemic drugs, this result is actually quite inferior.

Even with the fusion of characteristics, the base stats of the alien beast alone are already weaker than the system potion, and it still can't allow the martial artist to break through directly.

But that's normal.

Potions like system potions, which can significantly boost one's strength with just a few ingredients, are simply impossible to create right now.

Green frowned slightly, somewhat confused by Qin Sheng's meaning.

Because this elixir has so many drawbacks compared to previous medicines, the idea that it is beyond Qin Sheng's control makes it more credible.

This puzzled Green: why would Qin Sheng go to such lengths to make this cheap version of the fusion pill?

"This is just one," Qin Sheng gestured. "You can take it back and experiment with it. If it's suitable, it might be promoted like living weapons, and you would be the same as the previous Kaitian City."

Green's gaze sharpened.

Kaitian City was among the first to benefit from the live weaponry bonus, and even now it still has a 15% share. Even if it doesn't need the weapons, it can be sold to other cities at a high price.

Qin Sheng's meaning was already quite clear.

He wanted to promote the fusion elixir as a second type of living weapon.

Dream City was one of the first to try something new.

They were also part of the experimental group.
