"Yes, yes, of course it is needed."
Lian Shan hurriedly agreed with a bitter face, but he knew in his heart that the young man in front of him was trying to extort money from him.
Such situations are commonplace for these awakened individuals who spend most of their time adventuring outside.
It's just a matter of being more powerful than others and paying money to save one's life.
It's good enough if you can lose money to avoid disaster and save your life; what more could you ask for?
Lian Shan took the matter in stride and didn't feel ashamed at all.
Look at Ma Zhong. He was also a B-level Awakener, and a rare mental variant at that. He died just like that. He lost his life. What does face matter now?
As for the young man's claim that he was a healer...
I'll treat your grandpa. I've seen therapists before, but I've never seen a therapist who builds up blocks.
Damn it, this is outrageous! They don't even have a plausible reason for their extortion. Isn't this just blatant bullying?
Although Wang Zheng's previous actions had frightened people quite a bit, in Lian Shan's eyes, Wang Zheng was clearly a Paramecia-type Awakened One. Coupled with the Miao Dao that appeared out of nowhere, he might even be a Paramecia-type materializer, the kind that can summon weapons.
Their vision is too limited; it's perfectly normal that they don't know about storage items.
However, among Ma Zhong's henchmen, the ones who used knives all died very strangely. The fire magic being devoured by its own flames could be understood as a surge of spiritual energy, but the deaths of the three Lian Shans who were on the neck and hands were incomprehensible.
Ultimately, it can only be attributed to the special abilities of the boy in front of us.
They'd never seen anything like this before—an ability that causes direct damage to others without any apparent cause.
This is why he has always been tolerant of Wang Zheng and dared not provoke him.
This perfectly illustrates what he taught Xiao He: after decades in the business world, all you need is caution.
It must be said that it is precisely because of his pragmatism that he has been able to remain safe and sound for so many years.
However, he clearly did not expect that Wang Zheng was actually just a newbie who had just entered the battlefield for training, and that he was only slightly stronger.
Although he had a slight intention to extort money, he did have genuine expertise in treatment and detoxification, and it wasn't just a simple case of blackmail.
After pondering for a long time, Na Lianshan finally nodded to the burly man standing at the back of his team.
Then the burly man spread out his large backpack in front of Wang Zheng.
Lian Shan said with a wry smile:
"Young man, to tell you the truth, we came out here specifically for these bloodthirsty golden ants. We haven't even started yet, and this has happened. All our supplies are here. Take whatever you like."
Wang Zheng sensed the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the ground, but didn't even look down. At most, it was worth one or two low-grade spiritual energy crystals; he couldn't afford to lose face like that.
When you're out and about, you need to maintain a certain level of sophistication.
"I don't need the stuff, and I can help you rescue the person, but you can do me a small favor!"
To everyone's surprise, Lian Shan's expression immediately changed upon hearing this.
He thought Wang Zheng wanted them to help scout out the Bloodthirsty Golden Ant's nest, so he quickly refused.
"Our abilities are limited, and we're afraid we can't be of much help to you..."
At this moment, Wang Zheng casually waved his hand, and several holy beams of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the people who had been afflicted by the poison.
Seeing that the faces of the people on the ground had become noticeably rosy, Lian Shan's expression changed drastically.
Wang Zheng's move not only interrupted their wailing but also cut off Lian Shan's refusal.
He was completely stunned at this point; he felt that his worldview had been completely overturned.
Superhuman strength, absolute speed, ghostly movements, a defense that can reflect damage, coupled with a decisive and ruthless personality, and to top it all off, he even has a healing technique that can remove poison.
Generous gift crab~
Could he be telling the truth?
Now, Wang Zheng's words are echoing in Lian Shan's mind.
"Actually, I am a therapist..."
"Actually, I am a therapist..."
"Actually, I am a therapist..."
...
"Gulp!"
Lian Shan swallowed hard, his face covered in sweat.
The person opposite me never mentioned his name from beginning to end, and given his youthful appearance and seasoned demeanor, could he really be the Demon King...?
This kid looks to be no more than 18 years old. When he exudes his aura, the powerful spiritual energy emanating from him is as vast as mountains and seas, far more imposing than the A-level awakened individuals in the city.
Besides, where can you find such a young A-level Awakened?
Looking at Wang Zheng's ambiguous smile, Lian Shan suddenly realized that every word and action he had spoken before had a deeper meaning.
Wang Zheng watched as his face turned pale and then red, knowing that he must have been thinking a lot. However, Wang Zheng ignored the guy and instead smiled as he put pressure on him.
"I've already saved him, so if you refuse again, hmph!"
Although I don't know how to use poison, physically incapacitating a few people isn't difficult for me. You should think it over.
Hearing Wang Zheng's threat, Lian Shan dared not utter a word of refusal again. Seeing that his previously poisoned subordinate had stood up and had clearly fully recovered, he cursed his bad luck and thought to himself that he had been tricked.
However, forced by the situation, he had no choice. For the safety of his brothers, he could only sigh, then force a smile and stammered, "..."
"How can we help you? You know we're not very capable, and we're afraid we might ruin your plans."
