Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 75 Gun and Weapon Integration
"What good news? Why are you so excited?" Gao Wu asked casually. He didn't think Shen Yue could have anything truly good to report.

"Dongjiang Longteng Company wants you to advertise and promote Menglong Energy Drink. They're willing to pay you 800,000 yuan. If the promotion is successful, there will be even higher rewards later..."

Shen Yue on the other end of the phone sounded very excited and explained the situation in detail.

Since the video of Gao Wu slaying the demon god's followers was released, Gao Wu's fan base has exploded to over two million. Many people have also inquired about business collaborations.

It mainly involves advertising for everyday consumer goods such as razors, toilet paper, and snacks. The specific cooperation model is commission plus revenue sharing.

These small commodity advertisements don't earn much money and are particularly damaging to a company's reputation. The key issue is the lack of guarantee on product quality; any problems that arise will also cause trouble for Gao Wu.

Shen Yue didn't care about such a small amount of money and refused it all.

When Gao Wu won the Xuetao Cup yesterday, his number of fans surged to four million, which is a very considerable number.

To maintain this surge in viewership, Shen Yue spent all his time editing videos, mainly behind-the-scenes footage of Gao Wu, details from the competition, and so on. Each video garnered a significant amount of traffic.

For this reason, several companies have approached Shen Yue seeking cooperation, the most prestigious of which is Dongjiang Longteng Company.

Longteng Company is a subsidiary of Longteng Group, a vast business empire spanning fourteen states in the alliance and holding an extremely important position within the alliance.

Their company's Dragon Energy Drink is a new product line developed in recent years, and it's positioned to compete with Tai Chi Energy Drink.

Taiji Group is a world-class company in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, and its Taiji energy drink series is sold globally. Longteng Group has invested heavily in promoting its Menglong energy drink in recent years.

Today, this huge advertising order fell to Gao Wu.

According to the agreement, Shen Yue would receive 30% of the profits. If the deal went through, after deducting taxes and other expenses, he could earn 100,000 to 200,000 yuan just from the online platform promotion fees.

Although his family was well-off, this sum of money was still a huge amount for him. He couldn't help but be excited.

"Longteng Company?"

Gao Wu hesitated. The general manager of this company was Song Yunhe. What did this Uncle Song mean? Was he trying to curry favor with him? That seemed a bit much…

He now has five million in cash, he's rich and powerful, and he doesn't care about small amounts of money anymore.

Huang Hai felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart; he couldn't feel good until Huang Hai's matter was resolved.

On the other hand, he also felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that Song Yunhe saw his brilliance and promising future and came up with this advertisement to curry favor with him?
Or did they see him as a promising talent and want to be his father-in-law, so they deliberately gave him money?

That's obviously impossible. Song Yunhe is arrogant and conceited by nature; he wouldn't take him seriously.

Song Mingyue can keep Song Yunhe entertained, but he doesn't have that ability.

If the other party really tries to tamper with the contract, they can make his life miserable.

Shen Yue sensed Gao Wu's hesitation and quickly said, "Longteng is a big company; their products will never have any problems. Promoting Menglong Energy's advertising will, in turn, enhance your reputation, which will be very beneficial to you."

"Don't rush, let me think about it."

Gao Wu hung up the voice call and sent Song Mingyue a message via Fetion.

A short while later, Song Mingyue replied: "My grandfather praised you. My dad was probably just trying to please him. Don't overthink it."

"I see, I understand." Gao Wu felt relieved after hearing Song Mingyue's words.

Song Mingyue added, "Tie Dalong has been released."

"Oh, thank you, Grandpa," Gao Wu added, "Thank you, my good friend!"

Regardless of whether the Song family was behind it, it's good that Tie Dalong was released.

Business matters are often complicated, so Gao Wu discussed it with Shang Qingjun and asked her to help him handle them.

As a top student, Shang Qingjun has self-studied multiple courses including law and economics, and has already passed the junior accountant exam. With Shang Qingjun's help, signing contracts is no problem at all.

Upon hearing the contract that Gao Wu and Shen Yue had signed, Shang Qingjun was both amused and exasperated. She tapped Gao Wu's forehead and laughed, "My brother is truly a genius!"

"What?" Gao Wu thought he had done a pretty professional job, but he was a little unconvinced after Sister Jun said that.

"There are too many questions, and I don't know where to begin."

Shang Qingjun thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, call Shen Yue and sort out your relationship first."

She could understand that Gao Wu and Shen Yue had a purely platonic friendship.

However, since the two of them jointly operate the Kuaiyin account and profit from it, the distribution of profits cannot be handled so simply.

Seeing that Gao Wu didn't seem to care much, Shang Qingjun asked, "Leaving aside whether the distribution is reasonable, your contract is too simple."

"This isn't just between the two of you. As the profits grow, and Shen Yue's family gets involved, everything will be ruined. This will not only affect your career, but it will also damage your friendship."

"A standardized contract that clarifies the rights and responsibilities of both parties is essential for both of you."

"Hmm..." Gao Wu still cared a lot about this account. Putting aside how much money he could make, the large amount of merit the account brought was extremely important to him and he absolutely could not give it up.

"I'll talk to Shen Yue tomorrow. I think he's very reasonable and has a good personality. I believe he can understand."

Shang Qingjun added, "This time, you should give Shen Yue a larger share of the advertising revenue as compensation."

"Alright." Gao Wu considered it for a moment and agreed. It was indeed a problem, and the longer it was delayed, the more troublesome it would become.

Song Mingyue did this very well, valuing his favor at 100 billion. No matter the situation, a price can be compared.

This kind of calculation may sound cold-blooded and ruthless, but it is very convenient for resolving various conflicts.

That evening, Gao Wu injected the entire dose of Prajna potion in batches. The next morning, his mental strength had increased by 0.1.

This made Gao Wu very happy.

The Prajna potion is too addictive; given his constitution, he can only use about ten doses. Any more than that, and it's hard to say.

Ten doses of Prajna potion, conservatively estimated to improve his mental strength by a little, would be a huge improvement for him.

Gao Wu had spent a long time with Huang Hai and had been mentally intimidated by him. Even if he couldn't measure it precisely, he estimated that Huang Hai's mental strength wouldn't be too high.

This perfectly matches his prediction of a novice warrior, whose physique, strength, and spirit are all at the ten-point level.

Having used the Prajna potion, his mental strength is not far from reaching ten points. With a little more effort and finding a method to hone his mental strength, becoming a warrior shouldn't be too difficult.

In the morning, Gao Wu bought some nutritional supplements and good wine and went to Tie Long Martial Arts School to visit Tie Dalong.

Tie Dalong had just returned home after being locked up for two months. The big man had clearly lost weight, but fortunately his eyes were bright, and he looked even more wiry than before.

Tie Dalong was both surprised and delighted to see Gao Wu come to visit. He only took Gao Wu as his student out of respect for Old Master Shang Hongyi.

He had always thought Gao Wu's talent was average, nothing special. He was far from being a genius. He never expected that Gao Wu would come to visit him with gifts as soon as he was released from prison. Putting everything else aside, the sentiment alone touched him deeply.

After being imprisoned for two months, all the people from the martial arts school had run away, and even his own relatives had disappeared.

The fickle nature of human relationships deeply moved Tie Dalong, a mid-level warrior.

But then he realized something was wrong. No one else knew he had been released, so how did Gao Wu know?

The Inspection Department is no pushover. Regardless of whether he has any problems or not, they won't let him go so easily. They'll definitely have to put him through some wringer.

Could it be that Gao Wu asked someone to intercede on his behalf? The key point is that Gao Wu is related to Elder Shang; how could he possibly have the authority to intercede on his behalf?
Tie Dalong didn't say anything on the surface, but he decided in his heart that he would find out the truth later, as this was a great favor!

Gao Wu sat in the martial arts school for a while before Tie Dalong returned. The school had been abandoned for two months, and everything had to be started from scratch. There was a lot to do, so Gao Wu quickly took his leave.

At noon, Gao Wu invited Shen Yue to lunch at the Seahorse Buffet Restaurant, and Shang Qingjun accompanied them.

After dinner, the three of them found a milk tea shop nearby and chatted.

Before Shang Qingjun could say anything, Shen Yue spoke up: "Old Gao, the contract we signed is ridiculous. I can't possibly take that much. Let's get a new, formal contract. I don't want equity, just some dividends..."

With Gao Wu winning the Xuetao Cup, his fan base exploded. Shen Yue knew very well that Gao Wu's rise to fame had almost nothing to do with him. He had no right to claim a 30% cut.

If he wants to remain friends and continue making short videos with Gao Wu, he needs to take the initiative to compromise and take what is rightfully his.

Shang Qingjun said softly, "We need to set up a small company, put Xiao Wu's personal image and online operation rights in it, and then allocate shares according to the specific circumstances..."

Shen Yue is only eighteen years old and still a senior in high school. He has a basic understanding of shooting and editing videos. But when it comes to business operations, he's completely clueless.

Faced with the gentle and beautiful Shang Qingjun, Shen Yue felt even more flustered. He listened blankly, not quite understanding what Shang Qingjun was saying, and could only nod and smile foolishly.

Gao Wu sighed inwardly. This silly boy, even after being sold out, still wanted to help count the money.

Fortunately, he wasn't trying to sabotage his brothers; he was simply re-standardizing the contract to ensure the account could function properly.

As for more specific details, Gao Wuzhen had no interest. He trusted Shang Qingjun, so he left the matter to Sister Jun and Shen Yue.

Shang Qingjun was indeed capable and got the job done quickly. The advertising contract was signed, and she received a million-dollar reward.

To thank Shen Yue for his hard work, Gao Wu and Shang Qingjun discussed it and decided to give Shen Yue 500,000 yuan out of the one million yuan.

The newly established company is named Sunshine Media, and Shen Yue is clearly identified as a founder, second only to Gao Wu in terms of authority and responsibility, while Shang Qingjun is a senior partner.

The remaining money was invested in company operations, with all financial matters handled by Shang Qingjun. The shares allocated to Shang Qingjun and Shen Yue were legally distributed through registration with the Commerce Bureau.

The contract, which was previously just a piece of paper, only now has real legal effect.

For Gao Wu, these were all trivial matters, far less important than the Prajna potion.

The ten doses of Prajna potion were administered over ten days, raising Gao Wu's Spirit stat to 9.5, a full point increase. This means his mental strength increased by 50%.

The most direct change from the enhancement of mental strength is that Gao Wu's six senses become extremely sharp, his memory is significantly improved, and his logical calculation ability also seems to have increased.

With the improvement of his mental strength, Gao Wu's Zhanbing Fist directly entered the proficiency stage. In his view, the improvement of his mental strength did indeed greatly help him comprehend the essence of the fist.

Unfortunately, his other martial arts skills did not improve significantly.

When he had free time, Gao Wu would go to the martial arts school to practice the Swimming Dragon Sword with Tie Dalong. The Tie family had a different style, quite different from Song Mingyue's.

Tie Dalong also asked around and found out that it was Song Chunqiu who spoke up, which led to his immediate release. He had no connection with the Song family, but the matter between Gao Wu and Song Mingyue was not exactly a secret.

The two are easily connected.

Although Tie Dalong didn't say it, he became increasingly serious about teaching Gao Wu, and even taught him some of his family's secret techniques without reservation...

At the end of January, Gao Wu received a text message from the Hunter Association, reminding him to register ten days in advance for the assessment to become a full-fledged trainee hunter on February 25.

In order to perform well in the assessment, Gao Wu injected himself with two doses of Vajra Elixir and drank 200 ml of Spinosaurus Energy Liquid every day for the next period of time.

The main issue is that the body has developed a significant tolerance to the King Kong drug, and neither of the two doses of King Kong drug can cause a strong stimulation to the body.

At Song Mingyue's suggestion, Gao Wu increased the dosage of the medicine, but the effect was not very good.

By mid-February, all thirty doses of Vajra Elixir and three thousand milliliters of Spinosaurus Energy Liquid had been used up, and Gao Wu's strength had only increased by 0.5, reaching 11 points.

It is clear that the basic Vajra Elixir has reached its limit in terms of strengthening the body.

With the further increase in strength, the fifteen points in constitution also released more energy. Even agility increased by 0.1.

His skin became increasingly smooth and supple, his muscles increasingly resilient, and his bones stronger. Now, when he punches a metal plate with all his might, although it hurts a lot, his flesh and bones remain intact, and he won't be harmed by the immense force.

If his body was as hard as iron before, it has now reached the point of being tempered into steel. While his body is hard, it also possesses great resilience.

Without detailed physical strength measurements for warriors, even high-level martial arts practitioners can't make comparisons. In his opinion, his physical strength definitely surpasses Huang Hai's.

Song Mingyue agreed with this. She even felt that Gao Wu's physical strength had reached the level of a high-level martial artist.

Of course, this refers to the natural state where the other party is not operating its source power.

His powerful physique amplified his destructive strength. Against an opponent like Tie Biao, he could now reduce him to dust within ten punches!
In the martial arts training hall on the first floor, Gao Wu used the heavy machine gun style of the Zhanbing Fist, chasing after Song Mingyue and throwing a series of punches.

His punches were ferocious, sharp, and swift; most importantly, his continuous barrage of blows was like a heavy machine gun firing, displaying a violent firepower capable of annihilating everything.

Song Mingyue retreated with light and graceful steps, moving like a dragon riding the wind, her speed of retreat was faster and more agile than Gao Wu's pursuit.

Gao Wu unleashed 150 punches in a row, and even with his formidable physique, he felt fatigued. He could continue attacking if he activated the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, but it would be pointless.

He stopped moving on his own initiative, panting heavily.

The heavy machine gun style is too physically demanding. Even a top-level martial artist like Tie Biao would probably reach his limit after practicing twenty or thirty punches.

Thirty doses of Vajra Elixir, ten doses of Prajna Elixir, and fifteen points of abnormal physique are what give him both terrifying bursts of power and extraordinary endurance.

"Your punching power should have reached 2,500 kilograms, which is a certain threat to even a samurai."

Song Mingyue said, "Your strength is still too weak compared to the various powerful beasts in the Void Realm. You need to practice with modern firearms and familiarize yourself with their performance. Good tools can help you solve many problems."

"One more thing, Zhanbingquan (Battle Soldier Boxing) is designed for use with modern firearms; it's a method that combines gunplay and martial arts. You need to go to the shooting range and practice your shooting skills..."

"Your words are a wake-up call!" Gao Wu exclaimed excitedly. "I realized I'd forgotten something important. Oh, right, I need to practice shooting and buy a couple more guns for self-defense!"

Song Mingyue shook her head slightly: "As far as I know, the casualty rate for the hunter's official assessment is 17%. If nothing happens, that's fine, but if an accident does occur, it often results in total annihilation. You must not be careless."

"Hmm?" Gao Wu was somewhat surprised; 17% was a rather alarming figure.
