A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Chapter 81 Lu Ke's Impatient Waiting

Luke no longer knew exactly when he stopped feeling pain.

Or perhaps he had simply become numb to the pain.

He could no longer even feel whether his own body was still there.

All Luke knew was that when he opened his eyes at the bottom of the bathtub, he saw the layer of ice covering the water's surface.

and many more!

Ice layer?

Lu Ke regained his senses, and his newly formed consciousness completely replaced the old consciousness, which had been torn apart like a rag doll, causing his body to rise.

Bang!

The ice on the water surface burst!

Like Russia's nuclear-powered doomsday submarine, Luke broke through the thick ice and emerged from the water, reappearing on the surface.

"call!"

After Luke surfaced, he gasped for breath and looked at the shattered ice fragments on the clear surface of the bathtub.

This is also one of the most obvious differences between the "Standard Version of Zhuangjin Xugu Tang" and the "Plus Version of Zhuangjin Xugu Tang".

The former, after absorbing the medicinal effects, will not solidify, but will only turn into a pool of clear water.

The latter will freeze you after you have absorbed the effects of the medicine, allowing you to better absorb the remaining effects.

Of course.

It will also cause you more pain!

but……

The effect is quite obvious.

Click!

Lu Ke was about to get out of the bathtub, his hands just as he placed them on either side of the tub, ready to exert force, when he heard a crisp sound from beneath his hands, as if something was being crushed.

Withdraw.

Lu Ke saw the edge of the bathtub that he had smashed with his bare hands, and looked at his own hands.

Make a fist!

In an instant.

The muffled sound of two clumps of air being crushed exploded came out the moment the fist was formed.

It sounded like a sonic boom!

Become!

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

Without needing to spend time getting used to his now completely transformed body, he pressed himself against the edge of the bathtub again, stood up from the tub, and walked out. He then turned to look at the ice layer on the clear surface of the bathtub that was disappearing in a rather unscientific way as he left.

As expected of the plus version!

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Ke walked to the mirror and looked at himself in it.

His muscles are firm and defined, but not in an unnatural way.

Even beneath this entire body of skin, one can faintly see the lingering golden luster that has not yet disappeared and is still seeping inward.

Lu Ke stretched.

As he stretched, sounds like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon emanated from all parts of his body, and his sword-like eyebrows shone like rays of light soaring into the sky.

He can't wait to see Chen Huaxing again.

because……

He was going to beat Chen Huaxing to death!

Your punch has the power of thirty years of skill.

I'll stand here and let you hit me!

After half an hour.

Luke put his suit back on, opened the door to the safe house, and went outside. There he saw Earl jogging back and forth down the corridor.

Wearing headphones and a tracksuit, with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, Earl slowed his pace upon seeing Luke, gradually moving from a jog to stand before him.

"Team leader."

"You woke up so quickly."

"I didn't sleep at all."

Earl took off his headphones and looked at Luke with some confusion: "Team leader, you didn't put any stimulants in that pot of medicine, did you?"

Lu Ke laughed and said, "How could that be?"

Earl said, "But I haven't felt sleepy at all since I drank it last night, not even now."

Lu Ke smiled and looked at the other two who weren't there.

"Jack and Debbie aren't awake yet..."

"Debbie has been working out in the gym upstairs all night, but Jack, after drinking it, fell fast asleep and hasn't woken up yet."

"……Yeah?"

"Karl drank it yesterday and fell asleep very quickly."

Just then, the safe house across the street opened, and Jia Ying, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, came out and looked at Lu Ke, saying, "I didn't know you knew traditional Chinese medicine, Commander Lu. That pot of soup must be something like strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy, but its effect is more powerful than any other formula for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy."

Lu Ke greeted Jia Ying with "Good morning," then nodded: "Yes, Jia Ying, you also study traditional Chinese medicine?"

Jia Ying looked at Lu Ke and said with a smile, "Before Western medicine came in, we always used traditional Chinese medicine. The effect of yesterday's pot of herbal soup was very good. I haven't seen Karl sleep until this time in a long time."

One of them couldn't sleep.

One can't wake up.

Lu Ke's mind raced, and he quickly found the problem.

The dosage for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing its vital energy was determined by him based on his own condition.

but……

Jack, Debbie, and Earl are all locals, and from middle-class families at that. Their physical condition is much better than Luke's when he first arrived last year.

Strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality.

It becomes stronger when facing the weak, and weaker when facing the strong.

Earl and Debbie were already in good health, so the effects of the medicine were too strong to be sustained for long, and they overflowed, which is why Earl and Debbie felt not sleepy at all, and even became more and more energetic.

Jack was too weak, so the powerful effects of the medicine immediately put him to sleep, allowing him to receive the nourishment in a quiet state.

As for Karl, there's even less to say.

Over the years, Carl has become addicted to drugs, and his health has been completely ruined.

This can be seen from his inability to control his emotions.

and so!

Jack and Carl, one fundamentally deficient and the other severely depleted, would fall into a deep sleep after drinking.

Earl and Debbie, on the other hand, felt increasingly better.

Luke said to Earl, "I'll adjust your and Debbie's dosages separately tonight."

Earl thought for a moment: "Can I not drink it?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "No way!"

Jia Ying, standing to the side, looked at Earl and said, "This pot of medicine from your commander would be priceless in the hands of someone who knows its value. It's for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy. You can think of it as slowing down your aging process after you drink it."

Delay aging?

It has this function too.

Earl's eyes lit up as he looked at Luke: "Then I'll drink it."

obviously.

For women, the only thing they will ever care about is aging.

Lu Ke chuckled to himself.

at this time.

The phone rings.

Lu Ke took out his phone from his pocket, looked at the unfamiliar caller ID, and raised an eyebrow.

connected.

"Good morning, Commander Lu." Chen Huaxing's voice, as if chatting with an old friend, came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Ke smiled and said, "Good morning! You're quite well-informed; you found out Jia Ying was with me so quickly."

Hearing this, Jia Ying, who was talking to Earl, immediately looked at Lu Ke.

……

Chapter 82 Chen Huaxing, who helped out

Lu Ke saw the look Jia Ying gave him and nodded.

Jia Ying instantly became nervous.

Earl, who was standing nearby, also looked at Luke and immediately walked outside, took out his phone, and dialed a number, instructing the information department agents to immediately locate and track Chen Huaxing, who was on the phone.

Chen Huaxing, on the other end of the phone, chuckled upon hearing Lu Ke's words.

"Is it strange? Didn't Commander Lu expect me to find out about this so quickly?"
