According to the rules of blackjack, Qin Sheng lost.
However, the smile on his lips suggests that it's not certain who has won.
He took out a pill, a fusion pill made with the Vampire Mother Scythe, whose special property was to heal injuries by absorbing blood.
"Here you go, taking some fresh blood will help you recover from your injuries."
Old Zhou hurriedly took it with both hands, handling it as if it were a precious treasure.
"Take it."
At this moment, Green slowly spoke up and even offered a price.
Old Zhou did not hesitate. He could see that Green was thinking about the pills and was reluctant to be controlled.
But he had no such concerns; in fact, becoming a believer was a good thing for him.
The reason I didn't take it immediately was because I wanted to earn some extra money.
With a gurgling sound, Green asked impatiently, "How does it feel?"
Old Zhou shook his head, looking bewildered, and said, "I don't seem to feel anything."
"I forgot to mention," Qin Sheng said. "Because the medicine is a bit bitter, I coated it with sugar. If you want it to work quickly, you have to chew it before swallowing."
The two remained silent, which was quite considerate.
"Use energy to speed up digestion."
Old Zhou nodded, heeding Green's advice, and sped up his digestion.
Qin Sheng slowly sat up straight, paying close attention to the potential effects.
After all, the fusion of pills is theoretically feasible at present, but it has not yet been tested in detail, which is why he came to Dream City.
"It seems like I still don't feel anything."
Old Zhou raised his hand in confusion, looking at the missing finger.
"Based on the timeline, it should have been digested," Qin Sheng murmured.
Green's lips twitched. Why did this feel so unreliable?
But this is the sect leader; fusing the power of alien beasts is his area of expertise. How could he make a mistake? It must be my imagination.
"Here, this is a blood pack. Try some."
"Thanks."
Old Zhou tore open the blood pack and poured it down his throat. In the dim light, it was hard to tell whether it was an illusion or if a faint red light had actually flashed in his eyes.
"Give it a try."
Without Green saying anything, Old Zhou raised his right hand and focused his attention on it.
At that moment, his body did indeed react.
The blood that had just been poured into his throat now felt warm, like a warm current flowing into his right hand in accordance with his wishes.
On the severed finger, the wrinkled skin began to wriggle, like tender grass in spring, slowly sprouting a small, new finger.
But it stopped halfway through.
"That's not enough."
Despite saying that, Old Zhou's face was full of ecstasy, which proved that he could recover from his injuries by relying on the effects of the fusion pills!
Green nodded slowly. He had no doubt about the effect, but no one knew whether he would be controlled by Qin Sheng.
“I am aware of Lord Green’s suspicions.”
Qin Sheng smiled slightly: "Old Zhou, kill the city lord now."
Green's expression hardened, and he took a step back, looking at Old Zhou warily.
But the other party did not move, and said awkwardly, "There's no need for that. City Lord, I really didn't feel anything unusual. It's still me."
Green squinted: "Old Zhou, what do you think of Boshard?"
Old Zhou's expression changed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Of course, I'm grateful."
Green nodded. Boshard was the powerful figure behind the casino, and also the one who cut off Old Zhou's finger.
Old Zhou said that on the surface, but Green caught the hatred in his eyes.
Green also remembered that the emotional expressions of believers when they were controlled were very strange, so it could be confirmed for the time being that Lao Zhou was not controlled.
"Sect Leader Qin, I have already seen the effects of the fusion pills, but this matter is of great importance, so I'm sorry I cannot give you a reply at the moment."
Qin Sheng nodded: "Of course, I'm not in a hurry."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Qin, to explore the city for a couple of days. Once I've confirmed the effectiveness of the pills, I'll contact you immediately."
"good."
For the next two days, Qin Sheng didn't see Green anywhere and wandered around Dream City.
Just as advertised, you can see people paying money and then, in broad daylight, getting permission to engage in instinctive sexual acts, even on the street.
In some corners, one can also see transactions that take lives.
There's also an exchange where various tasks are listed, all with clearly marked prices.
Qin Sheng also saw the mission to assassinate Green, but the price was astronomical.
People coming and going from the exchange included officials from Dream City, but they were all used to the task of offering a bounty on their superiors.
They were there to trade their jobs.
In short, whether it's power or beauty, here you can easily obtain anything as long as you have money.
Under such rules, the moral standards of the people in Dream City are naturally ridiculously low.
Qin Sheng often saw people who were calling each other brothers just a moment ago suddenly stabbing each other in the next second, trying to steal each other's money.
If you had to find a word to describe this city, the only word would be absurd.
"It's almost time."
Two days is enough time for Green to gather information about the potion and verify the difference between the pill and the potion.
Bang!
A bullet shattered the glass, but Qin Sheng calmly watched the bullet hover in front of him.
"Isn't this life-threatening?"
Seeing the bullet's unusual behavior, Qin Sheng knew Green's method of verification.
He instructed someone to take a pill and then have that person snipe him, but to avoid truly offending Qin Sheng, he did not inform the sniper that the bullets had been tampered with.
Just as he had expected, Green arrived in a flash.
"I'm so sorry, Master Qin. It's truly a pity that some members of the resistance attempted to attack you."
Although Qin Sheng couldn't see through people's hearts, he could guess that Green was probably extremely excited at this moment.
Although Qin Sheng had released the control of the cultists, he was still unable to attack them after being injected with the drug. Even if he felt hostility, he would freeze in place or even self-destruct.
Green was certain of this, and now the trigger had indeed been pulled.
"fine."
Qin Sheng said calmly, "This thing can't hurt me."
"I am very sorry. To express my apology, I will return all the funds in full."
"Oh?" Qin Sheng asked with a playful tone, "So, do you still want to fuse the pills?"
“We will definitely take anything that Leader Qin recommends.”
Green took a deep breath and said, "Please come over here. I can't make this decision on my own."
"Let's go."
Soon, in the secret chamber, Qin Sheng saw the two Venerable Ones of Dream Desire City.
Let me introduce it to you.
"The one on the left is Venerable Boshad, the owner of the casino. The one on the right is Venerable Dale, the owner of the medical industry."
The two venerable ones rose to greet them.
"Please sit down."
After Qin Sheng sat down and spoke, the three of them slowly took their seats.
"Let's skip the small talk and get straight to the point."
Qin Sheng glanced at the three of them: "I can provide you with the Fusion Pill, but there is a condition."
