Chapter 9 The Murderer and the Conspiracy(1/2)
"There are quite a few people who have reasons to attack me, but the one with the greatest possibility is that guy Ping Yiluo."
"First use the drug to knock me out, then take me back and slowly interrogate me about the formula of the medicinal bath..."
When Wang Hong returned to the hotel, he took a shower. The slightly cold bath water kept rushing to his head, making him sober at the moment, and he quickly made a guess.
During this period of time in Ping'an Town, Wang Hong did not do anything high-profile. At most, he only spent a bit extravagantly on food and drink.
Even if someone became greedy because of this, they would not attack him in the inn.
Other than that, he just sold some refined salt.
Now the government doesn't care about private affairs at all, and even if they want to investigate, they won't use such means.
And the grain store manager shouldn't be so impatient. After all, the second batch of salt hasn't been delivered yet, so it would be easy to scare him off at this time.
Therefore, Ping Yiluo is definitely the most suspect, and as the most powerful doctor in Menglin County, his level of poisoning is definitely not bad.
Since Wang Hong merged with the turtle template, his various resistances have also been improved a lot. It is definitely not that easy for ordinary smoke to knock him down, let alone without any signs.
Therefore, Wang Hong is almost certain that the person who plotted against him is the bastard Ping Yiluo.
"It is said that Ping Yiluo's martial arts qualifications are average, and he was unable to break through and become an acquired martial artist in his early years. However, after so many years, he is not short of money, so it is estimated that he will be able to complete his physical training."
"With my current defense capabilities, it is almost impossible to break through my physical body defense with normal physical training."
"But Ping Yiluo is different. His poisonous methods must not be underestimated."
"Besides, he has been a doctor for so many years and must have saved a lot of people. If he cannot kill with one blow, he will receive a steady stream of revenge afterwards."
Wang Hong squinted his eyes and thought carefully. He knew that the poison was so powerful that it was the best choice for the weak to defeat the strong.
However, with precautions, no matter how powerful the poison threat is, it will be greatly reduced.
"The time in the two worlds is relatively static. Ping Yiluo definitely doesn't know that I have been drugged. He will use his trick to pretend to be unconscious. Maybe he can easily counterattack."
"But once you go there, you have to wait for six hours of cooling time."
"If something goes wrong, six hours is enough for me to die a hundred times, so I'd better make more preparations before going."
Being plotted this time made Wang Hong less cautious about other worlds.
A rural doctor can almost make him suffer a big loss, who knows if he will encounter a more terrifying enemy.
If Wang Hong wants to quickly improve his strength, there are only two ways for now.
One is that after more than half a month, the cooldown of the kit has ended, and the unknown items in it should be more or less helpful to him.
The other one is that Tiebushan is promoted again.
It was originally estimated that it would take two months to complete, but now there is a new medicated bath formula, a super enhanced version that costs a thousand taels of silver. Especially if it is his first time to use it, the effect will definitely be quite amazing.
Therefore, the time required for his breakthrough this time will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Although the iron cloth shirt's increased physical strength is limited in the minor stage, this seemingly ordinary technique can better integrate Wang Hong's existing strength.
From a defensive perspective, if Wang Hong had not practiced the Iron Shirt and only relied on the turtle's attribute bonus and "defense" skills, it would only be equivalent to wearing a piece of bronze armor.
It can barely withstand ordinary sword slashes, but small-caliber firearms can easily penetrate it.
In the previous introduction of Iron Clothes, the thickness added to this set of armor was less than one-thirtieth, but the bronze armor was upgraded to iron armor, and the overall defense was more than doubled.
If the iron cloth shirt can reach Xiaocheng, the increase in thickness will still be limited, but the iron armor will be upgraded to steel armor.
Although Wang Hong doesn't know the specific effect yet, he can understand the difference between the two after thinking about it.
For others, Iron Clothes Shirt is just a good exercise method, but its actual effect is very limited.
But for Wang Hong, this is a magical skill that suits him extremely well!
"The 'Defense' skill is fixed every time it is improved. The effect may become worse and worse in the future, but it is definitely useful for now!"
For the next period of time, Wang Hongnai practiced hard and went to the Sanda gym every day to train in Tiebu Shi, and his strength steadily improved.
Ten days later, Wang Hong took the medicinal bath worth one thousand taels of silver. In the following days, his whole body became unbearably hot.
It took a full week for him to completely absorb the medicine accumulated in his body.
Originally, it was impossible for a warrior in the physical training stage to absorb all the properties of this kind of top-grade medicinal bath.
Of the nutrients that enter the body, no more than 20% can actually be absorbed. Only a very small number of geniuses with special physiques can absorb about 30%.
Most of the remaining medicinal properties will be wasted with the passage of time, and the warrior can only refine and absorb as much as possible before it disappears.
Wang Hong also knows this truth, but modern people's thinking is not so conservative.
What's more, Wang Hong, who has been influenced by some Internet literature for many years, can't think as well as people in ancient society?
During the period when the medicinal properties were taking full effect, Wang Hong conducted many experiments to improve the absorption efficiency.
In the end, he actually found a way to stimulate the physical body with a weak electric current, which could actually speed up the absorption of the medicine!
Although there is still an upper limit to this, as long as you keep beating your body and let the absorbed medicinal properties be quickly transformed, the final waste of nutrients will never exceed 10%!
Therefore, the effect of his medicinal bath this time was almost equal to that of others three or four times.
In addition to exhausting the people in the Sanda Hall, other aspects far exceeded his expected results!
On the fourth day of using electric current stimulation, Tiebushan naturally broke through the bottleneck and entered the realm of small success.
At the same time, the turtle template has also been upgraded to level 15.
In order to test the strength of his body, Wang Hong gritted his teeth and fired a shot at his arm. As a result, except for a white spot appearing, the shot did not even penetrate the skin!
"Now as long as you put on your gas mask, you should be able to deal with Ping Yiluo over there."
"But to be on the safe side, it's better to wait for the tips to cool down. It's just a matter of a day or two, so there's no need to rush it."
After completely digesting the medicinal properties in his body, Wang Hong's confidence soared. Not to mention that Ping Yiluo had not yet reached the acquired stage, he was not afraid even of the man in black that day.
The opponent can't break through his defense, and his speed isn't as fast as his bullets. In this case, what can you do to fight him?
Wang Hong's only worry was about poison. The gas mask only targeted poisons from the Earth. He was not sure whether poisons from other worlds would have special ways of spreading, so he had to be cautious.
…
While Wang Hong was waiting patiently, Lin Cheng and his gang were also talking about him.
"Brother, we have already checked that guy's information. He is just an ordinary college student. Although his family has a little money, his connections are limited to province S and will not affect us at all."
A well-dressed man with a gentle face and glasses said softly.
Lin Cheng was drinking at this time. Hearing this, he suddenly drank his wine glass, glared at the man in glasses and shouted:
“Can ordinary college students fight dozens of people at a time?”
“Can ordinary college students ignore bullets?”
"You're fucking kidding me!"
"Keep checking, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, you must check his background!"
Seeing that his eldest brother was so rude, a strong man standing next to him said:
"Brother, that kid can't really ignore firearms. Pistol bullets can even shoot into his arms. It shows that his kung fu skills haven't been perfected yet."
The first shot Lin Cheng fired that day hit Wang Hong in the arm. About a quarter of the bullet went in. Although he squeezed it out afterwards, Wang Hong was indeed injured at the time.
"You idiot, don't you have any brains?" Lin Cheng slapped the table and cursed, "If you are so good at kung fu, how terrible is the kung fu of the master and brother behind him?"
The burly man was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and asked:
"The information I found didn't say that he had a master. Maybe he accidentally picked up a secret book and started practicing quietly like in the novel..."
Lin Cheng didn't bother to get angry with this idiot and asked directly:
"You can be sure that he has no master secretly? If you just attack without checking, how many lives do we have to lose?"
The strong man opened his mouth to retort, but in the end he closed his mouth angrily.
This kind of thing is indeed impossible to say. Once the guess is wrong, no one can afford the retaliation that will follow.
"Brother, I think otherwise, that kid has just stepped out of school and his social experience must be limited."
"And most young people can't control their lower bodies. Why don't we set up a trap and put a woman next to him, so that we can find out his details."
The man with glasses pondered for a moment and made a suggestion.
Lin Cheng thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Then do it like this. In a few days, when things calm down, you can arrange a hero to save the beauty and let Scorpion get involved with him."
"Scorpion can usually play around with all those pieces of paper, so he should be able to trick a little kid with a handful of them."
A man standing opposite suddenly said:
"Brother, Wang Hong usually stays in the hotel except for going to the Sanda gym. It's not easy to arrange a hero to save the beauty..."
Before this person could finish speaking, the burly man's eyes suddenly lit up and he grinned:
"Brother, that guy's training in the Sanda gym is quite amazing. If we don't post the secretly recorded video online, this guy will definitely be in trouble!"
Lin Cheng stood up and kicked the strong man back again and again, and reprimanded loudly:
"You don't know how many masters of video fraud there are? Who will believe it if you send it out? We are not dealing with Wang Hong just to vent our anger, you idiot, can you just shut up!"
