Dead dog?
Tang Ling showed a smile when he heard Kun's voice. Kun was finally here. Although he was late, it proved that he was indeed back in the Mysterious Store and not in some strange place.
However, in the next second, Tang Ling's smile froze because if he remembered correctly, Kun also said that he looked like a dead dog last time.
How could he look like a dead dog every time? Tang Ling refused to accept it!
He mustered all his strength and struggled to stand up. He looked at Kun and said, "I'm just conserving my strength. How am I a dead dog?"
"Oh?" Kun remained calm as he sat behind the counter. He wore a bright yellow robe that was embroidered with a complicated pattern of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Under the dim light, he looked even more charming and alluring.
"Yes," Tang Ling answered stubbornly.
"Fine then. It seems like you don't need any treatment," Kun said calmly. He then raised his hand and a ray of light flew out from Tang Ling's body. In the next moment, a big handful of Dream Coins floated in Kun's hand. They looked like the stars in the night sky.
I don't need treatment? Tang Ling was shocked. Given his current condition, even with Boss Huang's wealth, how long would it take for him to recover?
How long would it take for him to fully recover to his peak condition?
The Hell Ledge Challenge, the duel with Tang Long, and the Storm Voyage after that … Tang Ling did not have the luxury of time to slowly recover.
Moreover, if he was not fully recovered, he would not be able to earn any money. How would he have the money to pay Boss Huang for the treatment?
"No, I need treatment. Even if I don't look like a dead dog, I'm still an injured man. "Tang Ling expressed his wish.
"Huh? But I'm in a difficult position … "Kun picked up some unknown incense and put it into the exquisite golden dragon head incense burner with a helpless expression.
"What are you in a difficult position for?" Tang Ling was shocked. He was so dizzy that he could barely stand, yet he had to force himself to stay awake.
"Of course I am." Kun covered the lid of the incense burner. Green smoke slowly rose from the incense burner and filled the entire Mysterious Store with an intoxicating fragrance.
"Because I only treat dead dogs. What do you think I should do?" Kun rested his chin on his hand and looked at Tang Ling with a mocking gaze as he waited for Tang Ling to continue.
The blood in Tang Ling's heart rumbled, but it was immediately stuck in his throat.
"Alright, I'm a dead dog. Hurry up and treat me." Two seconds later, Tang Ling compromised. A wise man submits to circumstances. Admitting that he was a dead dog would not cost him anything anyway.
"Very good." A smile finally appeared on Kun's face. Just when he wanted to do something, Tang Ling shouted, "Can I look at the price of the healing items and make a choice?"
"No." Kun rejected him right away.
With the previous lesson in mind, Tang Ling knew it was pointless to say anything, so all he could do was endure the pain and let Kun do whatever he wanted.
However, it was not easy to earn Dream Coins …
After a while.
Tang Ling was finally able to catch his breath after Kun injected him with two strong potions.
He had to admit that Kun's treatment was very effective. Not only did he feel the wounds on his back and all over his body heal rapidly, but the numbness and itchiness from his muscles growing was so obvious that Tang Ling could not help but scratch them.
On top of that, even his exhausted spirit and some hidden injuries were recovering rapidly.
However, everything in the Mysterious Store came with a price. Two potions cost Tang Ling 20 Dream Coins, and if he exchanged them for vicious beast meat, he would probably be able to pile them up into a small pile.
Tang Ling blinked his eyes as his heart ached to the point of numbness.
Kun did not change his expression at all. He looked at the Dream Coins in his hand and said, "Not bad. Even after deducting 20 Dream Coins for the treatment, I'm still left with 71 Dream Coins. I've earned a lot this time."
"Not much." Tang Ling jumped up and said loudly, "If one treatment costs 20 Dream Coins, I'll die of poverty!"
Kun chuckled but did not comment.
Tang Ling gulped nervously and said, "Kun, can I buy things now?"
Kun did not answer. He stared at the Dream Coins in his hand as if he was thinking about something.
"Can you?" Tang Ling carefully asked again. He had been risking his life in the Dream Domain for this moment, hadn't he?
"No." Kun closed his palm and the Dream Coins that were as dazzling as the stars in the sky disintegrated into specks of light and vanished into Kun's palm.
Tang Ling felt a suffocating pain in his heart. His Dream Coins!
The dream this time around was a lot harder than the previous one. He had to fight all the way until the end, yet the Dream Coins that he had earned were destroyed by Kun so easily?
Why was he not allowed to buy things?
"What about you? You've only entered the dream twice. Can you pick what you really need from the countless items in my Mysterious Store? "Kun shook his head and said," You'll have to enter the dream a few more times in the future. "
Could Tang Ling object? He could not!
As a matter of fact, he did not think that Kun was trying to scam him because after the last dream ended, the things that Kun had picked for him …
Tang Ling somehow felt nervous because Kun seemed to be able to see through him.
Kun seemed to be able to see through some things. The things that happened last time were just coincidental.
What if something ominous appeared again this time? Something that could freeze people? Tang Ling decided that he had to get to the bottom of this.
Kun was as calm as ever despite Tang Ling's reaction. He took a small piece of vicious beast meat from under the counter. It was Level 5 vicious beast meat. Then, the annoying tortoise appeared again.
With a disgusted look, the tortoise reluctantly took the Level 5 vicious beast meat with its mouth.
After that, Kun dusted his hands. He was deep in thought as he opened and closed the drawers behind him as if he was picking something.
He was not as decisive as the last time.
After a while, three items appeared beside Tang Ling, but the last item seemed to stumble Kun.
He repeatedly opened the three drawers and closed them again and again.
In the end, Kun seemed to have chosen a drawer, but when he opened it, he hesitated to take the item out.
Tang Ling did not have the intention to disturb Kun at the moment. Since there were already three items in the drawer, Tang Ling curiously checked them out.
The first item was a blueprint.
When Tang Ling opened it, he could not understand it because it was not some kind of structural blueprint. Instead, it was some kind of pattern.
At first glance, he thought it was some kind of decorative pattern.
However, upon a closer look, Tang Ling was no stranger to the pattern. It would only appear on super-advanced technology.
For example, the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine that Tang Ling had seen for the first time had similar patterns.
But what was the use of these lines? If Kun did not explain, Tang Ling would never have guessed it.
The second item was a roll of bamboo slips that seemed to be quite old.
Tang Ling carefully opened the scroll and realized that it was a formation drawn on it.
Should it be a formation?
Tang Ling was not sure. He was just speculating based on his shallow knowledge of body arrays.
The formation was very strange.
There were a total of nine of them, but upon closer inspection, Tang Ling realized that all nine of them were closely related.
To put it simply, they were like a formation that had been broken down into nine parts. Then, from easy to difficult, they were arranged on the bamboo slip one by one.
Tang Ling had a feeling that as long as all nine of the formations were drawn, they would form a powerful formation.
Anything that Kun gave him would never be lousy.
However, Tang Ling was a little disappointed because none of these things could be converted into combat power immediately. For example, what was the purpose of this formation in front of him? Tang Ling still had no idea.
He put down the bamboo slip in his hand and his gaze fell on the third item.
It was a small bottle.
How small was it? It was around the size of half a thumb and judging from the size, it could only hold two drops of liquid.
However, the bottle was not full. There was only one and a half drops of golden liquid inside.
What was the liquid for? Was it edible?
The thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind. He even had the urge to uncork the bottle and drink it right away.
Since Kun was here, he would not die, would he?
"What are you doing?" Kun noticed what Tang Ling was doing, so he turned around and scolded Tang Ling with a strange, funny, and stern tone.
Tang Ling was uncorking the bottle, but Kun's scolding scared him so much that his hand trembled and the bottle fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Tang Ling was heartbroken. The next thought that popped into his mind was that if the bottle broke, would Kun compensate him with another one?
Fortunately, the bottle might be small, but it was very sturdy. It did not break when it fell to the ground, not even a small crack could be seen.
Tang Ling picked it up in a hurry and checked it repeatedly. He grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Are Dream Coins hard to earn? You scared me! What if it breaks? Are you going to compensate me? "
Kun's anger almost exploded when he heard what Tang Ling said.
Does this kid know how much of an advantage he has? With his measly 70 Dream Coins, he might not even be able to trade for a single item. No, he should be able to trade for a single item, which would be the bottle in his hand.
How dare he ask me to compensate him?
With that in mind, Kun's expression turned cold.
Tang Ling had goosebumps all over his body. Did he say something wrong? He was right. Kun was just trying to scare him when he dropped the bottle.
Kun was not a person who liked to explain, so he suddenly smiled warmly. His smile was like the spring breeze that bloomed like a hundred flowers. It was very charming.
However, in the next moment, a powerful force burst out from the Mysterious Store and bound him up, hanging him in the air with his arms and legs wide open.
"Hey, what are you doing? Kun, are you out of your mind? "Tang Ling panicked when he was suddenly suspended in the air.
However, Kun did not say anything. He waved his hand and a whip formed from the wind suddenly appeared in the Mysterious Store and lashed at Tang Ling.
"A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists!
Kun, if you're a man, put me down and fight me to the death! "
"Kun, psychology says that sudden violence is a sign of psychological pressure. It's the prelude to becoming a psychopathic killer …"
Kun's wind whip dispersed automatically when it landed on Tang Ling's body, so it did not cause any actual damage. However, Kun somehow managed to make the whip hurt him.
Tang Ling could not help but wail like a ghost, but Kun squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
