"Brother, this sword weighs 2400 catties. Does it feel good in your hands?"
After manipulating it, the man placed the sword on a nearby scale displaying clearly 2400 catties. He then controlled the sword again using his ability and handed it to Li Ming, speaking with a smile.
"I should be fine, about the mutant beast at you ntioned, follow . I didn’t bring it with ."
Li Ming laughed and nodded. He reached out and grasped the long sword. It felt heavy in his hand. He tested it by swinging it around - it required so effort but he didn’t regret it at all. In fact, a smile appeared on his face.
The effort was good, for when he breaks through with other skills in the future and his strength increases, it won’t feel too light!
"Of course, wait, there is still a piece, let’s first practise the needle with this piece of iron."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bing laughed. He used his ability once again to forge the last block of iron into four large iron needles. Each weighed about fifty catties after being put on the scale.
"You can also do needlecraft?"
Seeing Li Ming grasp the four iron needles in his hand, Zhao Sunwu couldn’t help but express his amazent. Li Ming gave a slight smile. "It’s always good to know so skills while journeying in the Jianghu world. Practicing flying needles might co in handy."
Hearing Li Ming’s words, Zhao Sunwu raised his eyebrows and shrugged indifferently. He stopped talking and followed Cao Bing back to their villa area with a smile on his face.
A truck followed them. Considering the volu of thousands of catties mutant beast at, Cao Bing specifically arranged for a light truck. When they reached Li Ming’s villa, he turned the truck around and parked it. Li Ming himself took the 1,040 catties of the mutant beast at and handed it over to Cao Bing.
Cao Bing was all smiles as he received the at and imdiately drove away.
"Congratulations, brother! With a new sword, your future battles will be much smoother."
After Cao Bing drove away, Zhao Sunwu, watching Li Ming with the sword, laughed and spoke.
"Hey, it’s just buying so peace of mind. Speaking of which, you always wanted an armor suit, why not get one made from this?"
Li Ming laughed and waved his hand and then raised his eyebrow at him, implying a question.
"Of course. But maybe we won’t have to do it ourselves."
Zhao Sunwu grinned and said amiably, "Tomorrow is the day we’re invited to join the Base City. Don’t forget that."
"Oh? You an there might be so surprises?"
Li Ming asked, intrigued.
"Assuming nothing changes, there will be a welco gift. What it is depends on what we ask for."
Zhao Sunwu patted his chest, "Obviously, I would like an armor suit. But we’ll see when the ti cos."
"Oh, so it’s a pleasant surprise."
Li Ming raised his eyebrow, then mused aloud.
As a welco gift... if Zhao Sunwu is asking for an armor suit, he should ask for a three-tre long spear as thick as a goose egg. That wouldn’t be too much, right?
"Alright, I’m heading back. See you tomorrow."
Zhao Sunwu grinned, waved goodbye cheerfully and lazily walked back to his villa with the woman who was with him.
Li Ming watched him leave and then turned to go back into his own villa. Rather than rushing off to rest, he drew his sword and took a bit of cooked mutant lobster at. He then headed into the stone chamber.
"Elental abilities have special effects on physical strength, but skills provide quicker growth."
A thoughtful look crossed Li Ming’s eyes. He put down the hefty 2000-catty, 1.5-ter-long sword he’d just received, pulled out the Dragon Spring sword that now felt light as a feather, and once again began practicing his swordplay.
......

......
"Whoosh~"
An arrow was shot into a pot. The man yawned and stretched, a happy smile on his face, "What ti is it?"
"Ten o’clock."
The attendant wearing Hanfu beside him had her collar open wide. At his words, she imdiately responded respectfully.
"It’s ten o’clock, the second superhuman who’s joining the base has been waiting for a day. Tomorrow will likely bring good news."
The man nodded contentedly, sparks flew between the rubs of his fingers. A corner of his mouth curved up. He waved his hand, and the attendants imdiately went forward to clear the brimming pot in front of him.
"Speaking of which, madam, have you done well in the business you ntioned? If not, don’t bla for demoting you."
Nonchalantly, the man pulled an attendant into his arms, turned around, and smirked at the woman lying on the bed next to him.
"The milk business is ready to go. I believe it will attract people, but I’d like you to set so rules; otherwise, there will always be perverts who don’t follow them."
The lady on the bed exuded the aura of a good wife and mother, elegant and peaceful. Upon hearing the man’s words, she pursed her lips and hurriedly said, "After all, I’m your wife. You can’t refuse to help ."
"Wife, haven’t you been irritating enough before the apocalypse?"
The man scoffed dismissively and replied leisurely, "If I help you, then are you doing business, or am I? If you can’t pull it off, don’t bla others. If you lack superhuman protection, go find a superhuman. We laid out the conditions beforehand, if you can’t et them, you’ll be demoted to a house servant."
Having said that, the man didn’t give the woman a chance to retort. He walked leisurely to another airy bedroom to rest. The woman beside him hurriedly followed, while the woman in the bedroom bit her lip, watching them leave.
Then she looked at the "Concubine" tag on her chest, took a deep breath, and silently lay on the bed.
Thinking of the fate that awaited house servants made Zhao i uneasy. Her peaceful posture tensed on her bed, her head tilting in frustration.
People always say promotion, gaining wealth, and the wife’s death are the three joys of life. She never thought she would face such a situation one day.
It was enough their relationship as husband and wife was estranged before the apocalypse. But it was unimaginable that, in the absence of power after the end, she ended up here.
Although they are still considered husband and wife, in reality, she was nothing more than a woman he didn’t like, and even didn’t want to see.
"Sigh."
Thinking of the business and the people in the base city, Zhao i sighed deeply. As she thought over nurous solutions, they all pointed to one solution—rely on a superhuman.
But who could she, a concubine, find?
Suddenly, Zhao i thought of a new superhuman arriving at the base city the next day and silently pursed her lips.
......
......
......
"Hu~"
In the secret room of Li Ming’s villa in Tianning Villa District, Li Ming exhaled a long breath. After eating a piece of mutated lobster at, the nutrients needed for his growing power were constantly replenished.
"If I continue training like this, I should be able to master swordsmanship in two days and my physical strength will also increase. Then, I can barely use this sword."
Feeling the slight achievent this ti had added to him, Li Ming lifted the heavy long sword placed next to him, thinking satisfactorily.
Then he recalled that he would take up his position in the base city tomorrow, so he decided to stop training for the mont.
"Boom~"
The fla rose, and Li Ming used his superpower to quickly turn his remaining strength into fire, which was continuously refined during the burning process. After exhausting all his strength, he dispelled the flas, turned around, and walked out of the room.
When he entered the villa, the lights were still on. The lights wouldn’t go out until he slept. He saw Zhou Qian and Qian Ling chatting on the sofa. He walked over with a smile and started checking their howork without asking what they were discussing.
"What were you two talking about?"
While checking their howork, Li Ming asked curiously.
"I was having a heart-to-heart talk with her. It’s okay for her to act arrogantly towards outsiders, but she’s very considerate towards us."
Qian Ling nodded uncontrollably, while Zhou Qian also nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I’ll be sure to take care of us..."
"That’s good; co over here..."
