428 Low-key Title x 3
Tian Du City.
In the suburbs.
Lu Ming gingerly walked to the entrance of the cave.
CoughâŠ
Could it be that the girl was cooked?
Although she was a spy, it would be a shame if she had been barbecued⊠After all, it was too cruel to die in such a way and this was not befitting of his kind and handsome reputation.
However, just as Lu Ming walked to the cave entrance, he was stunned.
The bonfire was extinguished.
The lady was still dangled above it. She was blindfolded, not moving at all.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand and touched her.
She felt hotâŠ
He hurried up and released the lady.
âP-president.â
The lady woke up in a daze and vaguely saw the face of her president. She became teary-eyed instantly. âYou⊠You really came to save me.â
âIâm sorry.â
Lu Ming felt very guilty. âI have just defeated the enemy.â
âI-itâs alright.â
The lady was in tears. âI-Itâs great that you came.â
Lu Ming looked at the bonfire beneath her feet.
The girl did not seem hurt at all. This was amazing!
He calculated the time. Seemingly, the bonfire had burned for a very, very, very, very long time.
However, he took a closer look. The bonfire was already extinguished but it did not look like it had finished burning. There was some unburnt firewood and with some moisture on it.
Oh, itâs wetâŠ
Did it rain?
Lu Ming glanced at the sky. It didnât!
âPerhaps itâs because of my body.â
The lady said weakly, âI-I was picked up in the streets and grew up in the mountains. For the sake of inheriting the Snow Mountain legacy, I ate various kinds of food with a cold nature from a young age. My body constitution is special. I was trained in Snow Mountain Sectâs martial arts and my body constitution has long been icy cold. It has the cold spirit effect.â
âCold spirit, icy cold body constitution? What do these mean?â
Lu Ming was confused.
âOh.â
Xiao-Xiaojian explained, âShe is saying that she has a lot of water.â
Lu Mingâs face dimmed. âExplain this to me properly!â
âUhââ
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed. âThe cold spirit is a type of spirit body constitution. The body can continuously release a cold aura to resist external forces, especially flames!â
Oh!
Lu Ming understood now.
That was why she could resist heat that well!
Then the moistureâŠ
âThe cold spirit continuously condenses water vapors and then drops them on the bonfire. After the water evaporates, it condenses again. The process repeats itself. As such, the temperature is reduced and the bonfire is extinguished,â Xiao-Xiaojian said.
Oh.
Lu Ming understood now.
In other words, the fire was extinguished by the sweat from the ladyâs body.
Doesnât that sound more simple?
âShe has a lot of waterâŠâ
Does that sound logical?!
âI donât know if she has a lot of water [1. Describing someone or something as âwaterâ in Chinese means pirated.] but youâre rather unoriginal,â Lu Ming said contemptuously.
Clearly, this was something that could be explained in a few words but Xiao-Xiaojian had to make it that complicated. It was more pirated than the novels that he read online in his past life!!!
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
Damn it! Youâre the unoriginal one!
I clearly explained it in a few words!
âAre you feeling alright?â
Lu Ming helped the lady up.
âYes.â
She felt somewhat guilty.
Before she lost consciousness, she had already made an oath. If someone were to come and save her, if the person was ugly looking, she would be his slave in her next life!
Of course, with the presidentâs looks, there was no need for her to wait for the next life.
âPresidentâŠ
âI-I will definitely repay your kindnessâŠ
âI wonât ever let you down.
âI-I grew up in the Snow Snow Mountain Sect. I became a spy to repay their gratitude for bringing me up. I have already repaid my debt to them. In the future⊠I wonât do that again!
âI will become a good Sword Card MasterâŠâ
The lady fainted after finishing her words.
Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian glanced at each other.
Forget it.
Lu Ming sighed.
They would bring her back first.
HenceâŠ
Lights flashed.
Flying on the card, he drifted away with the lady.
The night sky was extremely dazzling.
The night was not destined⊠to be peaceful.
âŠ
Very soonâŠ
The Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming flew back and passed the kidnapped lady to Li Haoran, telling him to take care of her. That problem then came to an end but there was still another minor issue.
âHaoran.
âYou guys should go and rest. I will be going out for a while,â Lu Ming said.
âHuh?â
Li Haoran was shocked. Master has just rescued someone and he is going out again?
âThere are some minor things I have to settle.â
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
After leaving the association, he made a turn and arrived at the police station. He told them that he had encountered the golden cow and annihilated it after an intense battle!
âYou attacked and killed the golden cow?â
The policemen were elated.
Recently, they had had a huge headache because of it!
The golden cow was akin to a monster that did not need to eat, drink or cultivate. Therefore, they had no means to deal with it. It was also a waste of effort to do deductions on it!
Secondly, the cow was too sly and cunning!
It not only had a peak six-star ability but also powerful escaping skills! They had discovered it by chance on a few occasions. Despite that, a group of peak six-stars did not manage to capture it! According to the records for that day, a trace of oil appeared on its sole and it escaped instantly without a trace⊠Yes, it escaped at lighting speed!
Golden cow oil!
Additionally, it was not a human and the implications were serious. Each time it appeared, there would be chaos and this had greatly affected the policeâs reputation!
As such, the reward for hunting down the golden cow had also been increasing!
Unexpectedly, it had been vanquished by Lu Ming!
âWhere is it?â
âIn the suburbs.â
âGo! Go! Go!â
The policemen followed Lu Ming and dashed to the suburbs excitedly.
The suburbs were chaos.
The mountain crest had collapsed and only half of it was left. There was a cave in shambles and the entire mountain crest had toppled into it.
They could only see skeletal remains scattered amongst the gravel.
âWhereâs the cow?â
âIt might have been eaten by fearsome beastsâŠâ
The policemen searched everywhere but there was only a floor of bones. Only two beef shanks under the mountain crest had avoided the disaster. The rest of the bodyâŠ
Was all gone.
Thankfully, after testing, these remains were proven to belong to the golden cow.
They pieced the remnants of the bones and organs together and formed a golden cow.
There were also traces of a huge fight nearby that were linked to the golden cow. Therefore, after going through a round of careful and deliberate tests, the police confirmed that the golden cow had already been annihilated!
HenceâŠ
Lu Ming officially became the brave citizen that annihilated the âwanted criminalâ.
âPresident Lu Ming is still the most amazing!â
âHe is heavenâs pride, indeed!â
The policemen were astounded.
âNot at all, not at all.â
Lu Ming waved his hands humbly. âWhere do I collect my reward?â
âRest assured, we have already reported this to the higher-ups. You just need to wait for the reward.â
âO-oh. Oh.â
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
It was very late at night.
The First Academy.
The dean was somewhat troubled.
He felt unsettled that the golden cow had been stirring up trouble everywhere after it escaped.
That cow⊠it was his food!!!
The golden cow was initially not that powerful. During the cooking process, they had added a large amount of energy boosting ingredients such as Moonlight Cumin, Starry Sky Pepper Powder and similar seven-star ingredients. That was the reason why the roasted golden cow became that powerful!
He had hoped that nothing would happenâŠ
âDean!â
The assistant suddenly dashed in hurriedly. âThe police informed us that Lu Ming has killed the golden cow!â
âOh?â
The dean was elated.
He killed it?!
Of course!
The police do not disappoint! And Lu Ming was the one who killed it⊠Wait a minute⊠Lu Ming???
The dean was suddenly deep in his thoughts.
WhyâŠ
Itâs that guy again!!!
âDean?â
The assistant suspected that his boss was in a daze again.
âLu MingâŠâ
The deanâs gaze was deep and profound. He had suspected that this matter had something to do with Lu Ming! However, Lu Ming did not even step out of his house during the time of the incident! However⊠After many twists and turns, Lu Ming killed the golden cow. He could not help but suspect that something fishy was going onâŠ
âTell me.
âIs it possible thatâŠ
âLu Ming is the one who resurrected this golden cow?â
The dean pondered deeply.
The assistant was silent.
After a long whileâŠ
He sighed. He had witnessed the golden cowâs resurrection. Lu Ming was not even around!!!
âDean.
âEach time something happens, you blame it on Lu MingâŠ
âActually, thatâs not too good for you.â
The assistant coughed.
âPerhaps.â
The dean looked out of the windows and sighed.
Was he that prejudiced toward Lu Ming?
Ultimately, Lu Ming was also a graduate of The First Academy. The dean flipped the pages of Lu Mingâs profile and saw a bright and cheerful photograph.
What a warm and beautiful smile.
PerhapsâŠ
He had really misunderstood him.
âŠ
It was late at night.
Time passed quietly.
The next day.
The news of the death of the golden cow had spread, causing a minor sensation in Tian Du City! As the president of the Sword Card Master Association, Lu Ming was in the limelight again!
The reason was very simple.
Countless peak six-stars could not find a way to deal with the terrifying combat ability of the golden cow!
But Lu MingâŠ
He had killed it that easily!
The president of the Sword Card Master Association was possibly more terrifying than many had imagined! He was merely a five-star but already that powerful!
HenceâŠ
Another batch of people applied to join the Sword Card Master Association!
The effect of public opinion was great.
Of course, comrade Lu Ming, the protagonist of this situation, was not happy. The police had finally sent him the reward for killing the golden cow â A silk banner with the words âHelping others for a just causeâ on it.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it. This is too much!
He had killed a dignified peak six-star golden cow!
âItâs like thisâŠâ
The policeman explained, âThe reward from the higher-up was meant for capturing the cow alive. This is because the golden cowâs value is in aiding scientific research on food resurrectionâŠ
âItâs a pity.
âYou killed it.
âNot only that but the corpse is also gone.
âThose biosciences companies are no longer willing to fork out the money.
âBesidesâŠ
âWe found some DNA on the crushed bones at the sceneâŠâ
Lu Ming coughed instantly.
â_â
Why are you guys that serious in examining the corpse of a beast!!!
Forget it.
Rewards and all thatâŠ
He had already gained a lot from the golden cow. Humph, he had not only eaten almost the entire golden cow but also captured its spirit body!
They wanted to research it?
How was that possible?!
Fortunately, the silk banner still had some use. With the policeâs strong publicity effort, Lu Mingâs achievement of killing the golden cow spread far and wide. This boosted the reputation of the Sword Card Master Association!
Li Haoran eventually hung the silk banner on the walls of the association.
âPresident!
âThis reward is better than any other!â
Li Haoran was very thrilled.
In order for the Sword Card Master Association to develop, it had to be affirmed by mainstream organizations! This silk banner was the best endorsement for the Sword Card Master Association!
âThatâs good.â
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Li Haoran would handle the publicity and the things related to it. After Lu Ming returned, he began to summarize his gains from the trip!
For exampleâŠ
The Sky Water Sword!
There was no rush in this matter. Instead of researching it on his own, Lu Ming felt that it would be faster for Xiao-Xiaojian to do so. After all, Xiao-Xiaojian said that it had become more intelligent⊠even though Lu Ming felt very skeptical about this.
âResearch it properly!â
Lu Ming instructed, âFigure out the Sky Water Swordâs abilities as soon as possible.â
Besides the substantial improvement in his ability, as he had advanced from beginner five-star to intermediate five-star, there was something else that was more important!
For exampleâŠ
The Will-O-Wisp Card!
Could that card really expedite the birth of a spirit body?
What were the criteria?
Was it because the large amount of energy contained in the food could expedite the birth of a spirit body?
That was something worth researching.
That was also the area that Lu Ming wanted to understand most.
HenceâŠ
He dashed to the laboratory and gathered some materials for the Will-O-Wisp Card experiment. It was a garage kit that was about 30 centimeters tall!
It was a popular diva among the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association, a virtual cultivation idol who became realâ Onion Miku.
It loved to cultivate and sing. It was cheerful, optimistic, kind on the outside but scheming on the insideâŠ
Onion Miku had many strengths and shortcomings that resembled that of humans in real life. As such, she became the most well-loved virtual idol of that time.
Of course, for Lu Ming, this was basically Hatsune Miku with the purple hues of an onion.
â_â
WellâŠ.
As a public idol, there were many garage kits of Onion Miku available on the market.
âWhat is Onion Miku?â
Xiao-Xiaojian, who was researching the Sky Water Sword, asked quizzically, âI remember you mentioned something called âLittle Birdâ Miku [1. âLittle Birdâ Miku is an online photography studio in China which was involved in a pornography scandal.] when muttering to yourself last timeâŠâ
âShut up!â
Lu Ming was furious. âYou must have heard wrong!â
Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.
W-why are you getting angry???
SeriouslyâŠ
It could not understand Lu Ming anymore.
It had heard that some humans entered a phase of life called menopause when they reached a certain age. Perhaps Lu Ming had also reached that stage?
WellâŠ.
That was possible.
It seemed that it had to be more careful.
Humans going through that phase of their life tended to become agitated easily.
âR-right.
âI must have heard it wrong.â Xiao-Xiaojian went along with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at it suspiciously.
Forget it.
He could not be bothered with it.
Seeing that Xiao-Xiaojian had gone back to researching the Sky Water Sword, Lu Ming focused on his own research.
His experiment was very simple. If this could happen to the food, why not the garage kit?
If one could personally use the Will-O-Wisp Card to transform a garage kit that one caressed everyday into a spirit body and living beingâŠ
Just the thought of it felt so **!
Snort! Snort!
Spirit bodiesâŠ
Lu Ming glanced at the thirty-centimeter-tall garage kit in front of him.
This was a special garage kit. Although it was an ornament, there was a crystal inside its body that could continuously transmit energy and purify the air.
WellâŠ.
Lu Ming tried to sense it.
On average, the garage kit had four-star energy.
PerhapsâŠ
It was worth a try?
HenceâŠ
Lu Ming cast a Will-O-Wisp Card at Onion Miku.
Swoosh!
The card dissipated.
A trace of energy swept across Onion Mikuâs body and spread quietly. It then dissipated without a sound. And⊠nothing happened.
The experiment failed.
It doesnât work???
Lu Ming was doubtful.
PerhapsâŠ
There was insufficient energy?
That was possible!
According to sources, the bulls that appeared in The First Academy had extraordinary abilities. Those who were weaker had been sold and only the strongest ones remained in The First Academy!
The dean issued personal orders to supply the students with beef which was five-star and above!
Lu Ming remembered this.
ThereforeâŠ
Four-star energy might not result in the birth of a spirit body.
WellâŠ.
Lu Ming glanced at the garage kit in front of him and pondered for a moment. An idea suddenly flashed across his mind. Since the garage kit did not have enough energy, he could supplement it with energy!
However, how could he do that?
Lu Ming could not really figure it out.
He touched Onion Miku. As it was quite expensive, the quality of this garage kit was fairly good. It was not made with hard plastic but some rare materials. It was firm, soft and bouncy at the same time. It felt good to touch.
WellâŠ.
It was softâŠ
He had an idea.
Lu Ming specially found a syringe from the laboratory and some precious energy which had been compressed into a liquid from Xiaobaiâs laboratory.
Pfft!
Lu Ming inserted the syringe to the garage kit and shot the energy into Onion Miku gingerly.
Right thenâŠ
At the entrance.
Xiaobai, puzzled as to why her master needed the liquid energy, looked at her master as he inserted a syringe into the buttocks of a garage kit. Her little face was filled with worries.
M-master⊠seems to have some strange hobbiesâŠ
