Chapters 165 and 166: Multiple Plans!
Before he knew it, a day had passed and Xiao Hong, who had been sleeping soundly at home, got up and began to study the "Nei Yufa".
As Cui Yuanbo said, the basic purpose of this "Nei Gong Fa" is to increase cellular strength through internal force, such as skin cells and muscle cells, so that the body has a certain ability to withstand impact.
The downside is that it consumes some internal force. The most important point is the birth of defensive magic, and various defensive armor were born at the same time. People found that they didn't need too much practice or consume too much internal force to enhance their ability to withstand attacks. Therefore, "Nei Gong Fa" gradually exited the historical stage.
It is estimated that after a period of time, it will be necessary to look for its traces in archaeological documents.
After reading through the twenty or so pages of Nei Gong Fa, Xiao Hong already had a rough idea in his mind. It can be said that Nei Gong Fa itself also has extremely high requirements for the accuracy of driving force, and it is necessary to infiltrate the internal driving force into the cells of the body.
Of course, for control accuracy, Xiao Hong is not lacking, and he practices every day.
Just as Xiao Hong was concentrating on studying the internal driving method, the communication talisman on the table suddenly transmitted a vibration. Originally, Xiao Hong thought it was Mu Xi'er, but when he picked it up and took a look, he found that it was actually Mei Jie, which made Xiao Hong feel somewhat disappointed.
"Director Mei, what's going on?" Xiao Hong asked softly after connecting the communication.
"We've just discussed it, and after deducting the costs from this concert, we made a total profit of 4400 gold. You and Muxi will each get 1000 gold. What do you think?" Mei Jie asked tentatively. Normally, 1000 gold would be considered a generous offer for a Shadow Effect Tattooist, but Mei Jie seemed to lack confidence. After all, Xiao Hong was no ordinary person. If he wasn't satisfied and chose to leave, it would be a disaster.
"Oh, whatever." Xiao Hong responded with a very calm tone, his voice didn't reveal any hint of sadness or joy. In his opinion, this time he took action was just to test his own strength, fulfill his small dream, and coincidentally step on Miao Dongsheng's foot, that's all. He really hadn't thought about making how much money.
And in Xiao Hong's opinion, nothing was more valuable than that kiss from Mu Xi'er last night.
However, when Xiao Hong's words reached Mei Jie's ears, they made Mei Jie feel uneasy. He knew Xiao Hong to some extent and 1000 gold was absolutely a sky-high price for him, but surprisingly, he couldn't hear any joy from his tone.
"Isn't Mr. Xiao dissatisfied with the price?" Mei Jie asked tentatively.
"Satisfied, satisfied." Xiao Hong responded casually, his tone clearly filled with perfunctoriness, his eyes not leaving the internal driving method: "If there's nothing else, contact again later."
"Wait, wait, there's one more thing." Mei Jie hastily said, his usual high and mighty tone now soft and pleading.
"Speak." Xiao Hong's eyes locked onto "Nei Yu Fa" as he responded.
"I just got a sense of the entire city of Tai Wu, and a large number of people are extremely eager to experience the charm of your Shadow Weaving magic in person. Can we add another performance?" Mei Jie asked cautiously, giving the impression that he was no longer the boss, but Xiao Hong was.
Xiao Hong slightly put down the book in his hand, thought for a moment, and arranged the magic pattern on the sports field. Although there was not much energy left, it seemed that he could still maintain it after adding a performance.
"As there are no costs involved this time, how about you and Muxi each take 20% of the funds?" Mei Jie continued, awaiting Xiao Hong's immediate response.
Xiao Hong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Without giving a cost, twenty percent would be at least 2,000 taels of gold. Moreover, if the ticket price were to be adjusted upwards and other shares increased, reaching 4,000 taels of gold was not impossible.
"Alright, time." Xiao Hong paused for a moment and asked.
"Then strike while the iron is hot, how about two days later?" Mei Jie asked.
"Alright." Xiao Hong responded and then cut off the connection.
At this point, Xiao Hong was very clear that he would not have to worry about money for a while.
As soon as his wallet was thoroughly filled, Xiao Hong's heart became restless again. In his mind, strange and peculiar ideas for making battle patterns emerged one after another, like bamboo shoots growing after a spring rain.
Of course, on the premise that Xiao Hong must be upgraded to a third-level Rider, otherwise, Huajin's creation of a second-level Rider would be somewhat unprofitable.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Hong decided to take a drastic measure and directly picked up the Blood Refining Solution Powder, heading towards the bathroom.
At present, Xiao Hong's internal driving force has reached nearly 3,400 shares. Within two days, before the second concert begins, if he puts in a bit more effort, it is still completely possible to upgrade to Driver Level 3.
At the same time, after last night's shock, the entire Tai Wu City has been thoroughly detonated. At this moment, even Luo Xue Ning has been forgotten in the corner.
Every street and alley is basically filled with information about Mu Xi'er's concert last night, and all major media outlets are competing to report on it.
Of course, the most mysterious and frequently reported by major media is who exactly is the student of the branch school?
Even the headlines of major newspapers were printed with a very eye-catching pattern, with a background of an absolutely beautiful landscape created by Xiao Hong, and in the center of the landscape was a black human silhouette, with a large question mark at its core.
A certain student from a branch school often appears on various video platforms.
It can be said that at this moment, a certain student of the branch school has become thoroughly famous. Even many women who were infatuated with Xiao Hong's shadow magic wanted to enter Xijin Branch School to take a look, but they were all blocked by the guards outside.
Li Le and others in the front hall naturally knew who a certain student of the branch school was, but Xiao Hong didn't let them say it, so how could they dare to say it?
The customers who came and went were almost all Mu Xi'er, students from a certain branch school, and even Qiu Qiu.
On the streets, plush toys of the ball also started to appear, basically becoming a overnight sensation.
"No way, I didn't expect that annoying guy to be so popular now." In his free time, Li Le spread out a newspaper and looked at Qiuqiu's cute expression, curling up the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, Lezi, look at Ballball getting so fat, can he still become a strong one?" Linzi whispered beside Li Le.
"You don't understand, do you? Why others want to become strong. Can't they just live a happy life and be done with it?" Li Le replied, glancing at Lin Zi briefly.
Time had come to noon, at this time a more explosive news for the masses of Tai Wu City came from Mei Yin company, that is, in order to thank the fans for their support, Zhu Meng will add one more show, also the last one! The time was set two days later.
Just two minutes after the news was released, all tickets were booked out.
At the same time, in the No. 1 dormitory of Xijin Magic Academy, Luo Xue Ning looked at the scene of Tai Wu City through the light screen, her expression was extremely solemn.
In front of her were seven or eight officers, among whom Mo Xuan was standing solemnly with an extremely serious expression.
"Reporting to the superior, the two hundred soldiers temporarily reinforced by Berro have secretly infiltrated into Taiwu City and are expected to meet with us at 5 o'clock tonight." Mo Xuan looked at the military communication talisman in his pocket and reported to Luo Xue Ning.
Lu Xue Ning did not respond, only slightly nodding her head. Although this was a favorable message for her, it really was just a drop in the bucket given the current situation.
"In short, the plan I've come up with is that General Xu Guohao will lead most of our people in a full-scale attack on the Fulong Warehouse, drawing the attention of the Weilin Empire. Meanwhile, I'll take two people to Xiaojia Village, trying to get in and out without being detected, and quickly retrieve the goods." Luo Xuenin said with a serious expression.
"General Luo is taking a huge risk by only bringing two people to Xiao's village." Mo Xuan said in a low voice.
"This is also an unavoidable thing, there are too many people and it's the only way I can think of. The other side is much stronger than us, we have no choice but to take a risk." Lu Xue Ning responded.
"What time does the officer plan to take action?" Kos continued to ask.
Lu Xue Ning didn't respond immediately, her gaze slightly shifted to the light screen beside her, which was displaying the announcement of Mei Yin Company's next concert time, two days later.
"The time, set for two nights later. With Mu Xi'er's influence and the presence of a certain student from the branch school, it should be able to draw everyone's attention in Tai Wu City, serving as a perfect cover for us." Luo Xue Ning finally made her final decision.
Others no longer have any objections, undoubtedly, taking advantage of Muxi's concert action, it is estimated that this is the best opportunity they can find at this stage, and success or failure seems to be in this move.
At the same time, in another corner of Dormitory No. 1, there were also three men standing in Miao Chen's dormitory, all of whom were around twenty-five years old and were confidants of the Miao family, with strengths that seemed to be at the level of a second or third-rate rider.
Miao Chen was standing on the balcony at this time, quietly listening to Mei Jie's press conference, mainly explaining the situation of the second concert two days later. As for a certain student from the branch school, Mei Jie still tried not to mention it as much as possible, and even when asked fiercely, she only touched on it lightly.
"Did you all hear that? Two days later, at the Kaga Sports Stadium, this is our chance to find a certain student from the branch school. We must seize it firmly, as you are all trusted aides of the Miao family. If the Miao family declines, it will not be beneficial for you either." Miao Chen leaned slightly against the wall, gazing at the scenery outside the window, and spoke softly.
"We understand, young master," said a trusted aide. "But what if I were to find the trail of that student from the branch school?"
"Wait for an opportunity to strike, and according to my father's experience, the opponent's strength will not exceed that of a second-level Rider. We can completely handle it." Miao Chen whispered.
Chapter 166: Action!
Xiao Hong at home, although he didn't know what Miao Chen and others were doing, was almost 100% sure that the Miao family absolutely hated him, would go to great lengths to find him, and would be unfavorable to him.
At present, Xiao Hong can only seize the time to enhance his strength. As the saying goes, only strength is the most reliable.
He walked out of the bathroom, after a full three hours of training, Xiao Hong's internal Qi had already reached 3,422 units. Tomorrow, with another day of hard training, he would almost be able to reach the third level of Qi control.
Just in time to use up the remaining two bottles of Blood Refining Liquid.
Lying on the bedhead, Xiao Hong rested for a while before getting up again. He carefully cut off the two mature cotton-like white flowers and stored the internal white pulp in a solid crystal bottle, sealing it tightly.
Then Xiao Hong began to improve the formula for making Dan through his own learning, and this time, Xiao Hong also had follow-up measures, that is, rapid rescue after taking the healing Dan, mainly using another detoxifying Dan and cardiac drugs.
It has already formed a huge healing system and has made samples of detoxification Dan first.
Two days passed in a hurry, and during these two days, Xiao Hong, except for attending classes, had hardly stayed outdoors for too long. Most of the time was spent studying things in his own bedroom.
Not only healing tattoos, but also improvements to the rights of the head, mainly improved black cloak, internal has been installed with defensive magic patterns, five-pointed star-shaped glasses, equipped with night vision magic patterns.
It was convenient for Xiao Hong to travel at night.
Xiao Hong himself was very clear that the arrival of Weilin Gongguo and Luoxue Ning's army was like a time bomb, which might explode thoroughly at any moment. In order not to implicate his true self in the disaster, Xiao Hong decided that it would be better to use the identity of Quan Cang for doing things that couldn't be seen by others.
Anyway, this identity is hidden deep enough, basically now except for Xiao Hong himself, there is no second person who knows.
Time had arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, and at this time, Xiao Hong had already been cultivating in the bathtub for half an hour. Now, the driving force within Xiao Hong's body had reached 2498 shares, and with just a little more, he could be promoted to Driver Level Three.
At this time, Xiao Hong was sitting in the newly purchased bucket bathtub, with a calm expression and pale face. After taking the blood-replenishing pills and moisturizing medicine for some time, his complexion had become slightly rosy. Xiao Hong's physical condition was gradually improving.
It can be said that now every training session is still very painful for Xiao Hong, but now Xiao Hong has learned to endure or adapt.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Hong's driving force had reached 2502 shares and finally thoroughly entered the third level of driving. Although his body could still support cultivation, Xiao Hong did not continue and stopped cultivating, standing up from the bathtub.
Today is the day of the second concert, there are many places where horsepower needs to be used, Xiao Hong must save some.
He put on a leather jacket that Mu Xi'er had bought for Xiao Hong, as well as high-end jeans. After taking a look in the mirror, he also put on a large pair of sunglasses and then left the bedroom.
After leaving from the back door of Da Hongmei's house, Xiao Hong drove his tattooed car to Kaga Sports Stadium, and was filled with vigilance along the way.
Although he didn't know about Miao Chen and Miao Dongsheng's plan, Xiao Hong was very clear that the five words "a certain student of a branch school" had already become notorious. In just two days, almost everyone in Taiwu City knew about it, and it was said that even the mayor personally asked about this matter.
Such actions seem insignificant, but there is a point that Xiao Hong has already figured out, which is his own existence, absolutely like a thorn in Miao Dongsheng's eye and a stab in the flesh, so Xiao Hong can't help but guard against it.
Arriving at the Kaiga Sports Stadium, Xiao Hong parked the Magic Stripe car in an inconspicuous corner and then walked into the stadium through a side door.
At this moment, it is still the previous batch of staff members who are checking the corresponding equipment and the placement of the magic seals. Majer, whose mind is equally meticulous, has already brought all the staff members participating in the concert under the umbrella of the Cologne Group, just to prevent these people from leaking the secrets of the concert, especially Xiao Hong's true identity.
For ordinary workers, being able to join the Cologne Group is a rare opportunity they would naturally seek after.
And at this time, Maji seemed to have also sensed a different smell, and specially brought more than 20 masters from the Meilong Yuxing school to mix in with the audience seats, ensuring everything was safe, especially Xiao Hong's.
Before long, the time had come to six o'clock in the evening. The Kagawa Sports Park was already bustling with people, but this time, the audience saw the brokenness in front of them without any doubt or suspicion. Every pair of eyes held endless expectation.
Cast your gaze into the control room, from the audience's perspective, you can only see a figure standing upright inside. Everyone is very clear that the person inside is none other than a certain student from the branch school who has been extremely popular lately. The people of Ta Wu City have even given him a new nickname - "Dream Master".
Without much delay, just as the audience arrived, Xiao Hong once again activated the Shadow Effect Magic Pattern. Based on the current energy consumption, it is estimated that Xiao Hong's Shadow Effect Magic Pattern can only be sustained for this one performance.
Although these people had watched video broadcasts before, the vivid and lifelike pictures still made their eyes light up, with a sense of being on the scene that was absolutely more wonderful than what they saw in the video.
At the same time, in the No. 1 dormitory area of Xijin Mojun Branch School, Luoxuening, Kos and Xu Guohao had already begun to sort out their equipment, including magic seals, dark gray military night travel clothes, as well as simple protective armor, mainly assisting with heart and head protection.
Everything was ready, and after testing the night vision device, everything was normal. Luo Xue Ning glanced slightly at Xu Guohao in front of her: "Now start checking the time, the action time is 7:30, which is during Mu Xi'er's concert. Remember, all of your tasks are to attract the Weilin army in Taowu City to Fulong Warehouse as much as possible, and try to buy me two hours."
"I understand." Xǔ Guóháo responded, then put on a black leather glove and checked the time seal again. Unlike civilian ones, these time seals were accurate to the second.
"Also, I want to tell you that you are a feint, remember to conserve your strength while distracting the enemy, and try not to fight to the death if possible. Also, try not to harm any civilians, got it?" Luo Xue Ning continued to instruct.
"Yes, sir." Everyone present responded in unison.
"Alright, let's go." Luo Xue Ning didn't hesitate either, even though she knew that this time she might be taking a huge risk, especially if the news leaked out, the consequences would be unbearable. Now, Luo Xue Ning could only rely on her luck.
Xiao Hong in the Ka Ga Sports Stadium was still unaware of Luo Xue Ning's plan, and at this moment he was still in the main control room, calm and composed, controlling the Shadow Weave.
But in Xiao Hong's heart, he always felt that there was something not quite right, the feeling that the air around him gave off a smell that made him involuntarily become vigilant.
However, Xiao Hong did not lose his composure and continued to manipulate his shadow magic with precision, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding audience.
There is nothing unusual on the surface.
It was now 7:30, and Xu Guohao and others who had parted ways with Luoxue Ning appeared on the road near Fulong Warehouse.
After taking a look at the map provided by Xuan Yu, and comparing it with the scenery in front of him, Xu Guohao clearly identified the locations marked on the map.
"Have you seen those warehouses in Southeast District? Let's move!" Xǔ Guóháo gave the order after checking the time on his watch.
Several hundred soldiers of the Beruo Legion and dozens of troops from the Kingdom of Singa poured out of the magic pattern car.
Among them, more than a dozen soldiers had picked up rocket launchers and fired dozens of rockets at the distant buildings without saying a word.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a string of thunderous sounds rang out, and the gray warehouse building in the distance without windows instantly formed more than a dozen flames.
Xu Guohao did not launch a blind charge either, and instead continued to use long-range attacks, continuously launching an offensive against the warehouse building.
However, after a moment, hundreds of masked men appeared and launched a counterattack against Xu Guohao and others at the first time.
For a time, both sides were mixed together.
The surrounding vehicles began to give way one after another. The civilians were still like this, scattering and fleeing in all directions.
It can be said that in just a few short seconds, the battle had reached its climax.
At this time, Xu Guohao seemed to feel a little bit of something wrong with the opponent, that is, the opponent's reflection was too fast, as if he had already known that someone would come to attack. However, it's too late to say anything now, the tactics have been executed, and we can only go on with a hard head.
On another road, Luo Xue Ning was leading Ke Si and another subordinate, Sa Qi, rushing to Xiao Jia Village. According to the previous task plan, the time left for Luo Xue Ning was at most two hours.
Get the things and find a way to evacuate. As for the evacuation route, it has not been decided yet, so everything will be handled as the situation develops.
In the Kaiga Sports Stadium, the atmosphere seemed to have relaxed a lot. At this moment, everyone was still immersed in Xiao Hong's fantasy until 8 o'clock in the evening. With a flash of light in the venue, Mu Xi'er "disappeared" and the entire venue returned to the broken world. The concert only ended thoroughly.
