Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 4: Infiltrating the Human World
With money, Lu Ming will be able to blend into human society.

Lu Ming is not planning to leave the county town for the time being. He has food and drink here and is familiar with the environment. He feels it is a very suitable place for him to live.

As for whether he would run into that bearded man again in the city...

This is easy to handle!
Lu Ming picked up a stone from the side and smashed it on his face without changing his expression.

With just a "pop", a red mark appeared on his face.

Well, it doesn't hurt at all.

The pain-blocking function he had just evolved was quite effective, and he didn't feel any pain at this level.

He immediately increased his strength and hit himself in the face again and again.

At this moment, a drunk staggered and untied his belt, and was about to have a good time, but in the faint moonlight, he saw a figure by the water not far away, hitting his head with stones one after another.

There was blood everywhere and flesh was torn apart, it was very strange.

"Oh my god...it's a ghost!"

He woke up from the drunkenness with a start, but he couldn't stop urinating, and his pants were wet.

The drunkard rolled and crawled, shouting and ran away.

"cut."

Lu Ming climbed onto the shore and raised his middle finger at the man's back.

He threw the stone away casually. At this moment, his face was swollen beyond recognition, and even torn wounds could be seen in some parts.

However, these wounds began to heal very quickly, and after healing, the flesh on his face became noticeably thicker, especially around his eye sockets, cheekbones, and nose bridge, where more flesh grew.

The originally skinny face now looks a bit rounder, and the overall image gives people a more honest look.

Even if an acquaintance stood in front of him, it would be almost difficult to believe that he was a human being.

However, as soon as Lu Ming thought about it, the plump flesh on his face shriveled up again, and he returned to his original thin appearance.

This was a phenomenon he had discovered before, that is, the physical changes that resulted from his evolution could be hidden, whether it was the gills, the puffs, or the increased flesh and blood, they could all be smoothed out.

As he thought about it again, his face seemed to inflate and became more and more generous little by little.

He could even control the fullness of his face. By slightly adjusting the thickness of the flesh in different places, he would almost become a different person in the eyes of others.

If he could evolve further and more refined, he felt that he could become anyone he wanted and become anyone he had ever seen.

"Let's go into the city."

Lu Ming walked along the river bank in an arrogant manner. Occasionally, when he passed by a rich family, he would steal one or two pieces of clothes to change into. He also found a small knife and shaved his beard.

When it was just getting light, a young man with an honest face and wearing clothes that were not fancy but not simple either appeared on the street.

"Give me a tray of buns, no matter what flavor, serve first."

Seeing that there was a bun shop set up on the roadside, he found a place to sit down and spoke loudly.

"Okay."

The bun shop owner quickly brought a steamer and placed it on the table. It was steaming hot, and Lu Ming's stomach began to growl.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate and grabbed a bun, stuffing it into his mouth. He bit it with his teeth, rolled his tongue around it, and swallowed it down. This thing was much tastier than rotten branches and leaves, and it contained much more energy.

In just a few bites, he finished off a whole basket of buns.

He felt that he had not yet tasted the flavor, so he asked the boss to continue to serve buns. In a blink of an eye, he had eaten the entire steamer of buns, and even the boss looked embarrassed.

This guy is like a starving ghost. I don’t know how long it has been since he last had a meal. I wonder if he can afford to pay.

"We have money, keep giving us the buns!"

Lu Ming immediately slammed a silver ingot on the table and shouted loudly.

This silver ingot is estimated to be about four or five taels, which is enough to buy his bun shop.

Well, since you have money, we can't just push business away.

The boss's smile became even brighter, and he brought out one basket of buns after another. We run a restaurant, so are we afraid that the customers will eat too much?

……

Lu Ming only ate five baskets of buns, which barely made him feel one-third full, but he regained a lot of strength.

As more and more people came to the market, he didn't want to be treated like a monster, so he paid the bill and left.

Five baskets of steamed buns cost him a total of 180 coins. He gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot, but the change was hard to come by. Fortunately, he still had some copper coins on him, so he was able to pay for the meal.

However, he also knew that the purchasing power of silver ingots was still very high. Under normal circumstances, one tael of silver could be exchanged for eight hundred to one thousand copper coins.

Lu Ming used the remaining copper coins to buy some food. While gathering information on the street, he did not forget to consume energy.

It was not until evening that he had a general understanding of the world.

This was not the historical dynasty he was familiar with, but a country called Daqian, which consisted of nine provinces. Each province had dozens of prefectures and hundreds of counties, with a population of tens of millions.

This place is called Changning County. The river that runs through the county is called Cang River, which is a tributary of Cangyuan River. Therefore, the commerce here is extremely developed.

The man who slapped him yesterday was the county lieutenant of Changning County, the third most important person in the county. He was very good at kung fu and it was said that he had developed a bone-penetrating strength. With one slap, even a blind bear would be killed.

Lu Ming could only curse his bad luck. He just randomly found a pleasure boat and actually ran into a tough guy.

However, the martial arts in this world are truly magical. When one reaches a high level of skill, one's strength is comparable to that of a giant beast. One's punches and kicks can easily exert thousands of pounds of force, which is more powerful than a heavyweight boxing champion.

When Lu Ming was young, he also had a dream of being a martial artist, climbing walls and traveling the world with a sword. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel curious about martial arts.

Moreover, he has the ability of super-adaptive evolution, which might produce a strange chemical reaction.

While he was thinking, he took advantage of the night and sneaked into a house.

He had visited this house before, and it had been uninhabited for a long time. Since he could see at night and didn't need a lamp, it was a perfect place for him to stay.

He randomly found a room, tidied it up a bit, then took out a pile of cooked food he had bought and started to devour it.

He now doesn't miss any opportunity to consume calories.

While eating and drinking, he studied the other things he had taken from the county lieutenant.

The first thing is the waist badge, which should be made of copper. There are some strange patterns on both sides, and the words "kill demons" are written in very ancient characters.

Sometimes Lu Ming also felt strange. Although this body of his did not leave him any memories, things like words and language seemed to be left behind as if by instinct, allowing him to read easily.

This also seems to indicate that the original owner of this body should have a good family background, or at least be able to read and write.

Although he didn't know why these two words were written on the waist badge of a county lieutenant, he studied it for a long time but didn't find anything special, so he threw it aside.

Then he picked up the porcelain bottle.
