Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 113 What's this? There'll be more later.

A moment later, the group entered the private room.

In the very center of the private room, a huge round table was already laden with all sorts of dishes.

For most of them, let alone eating them, Jiang Lan had never even seen them before.

Although the wealth on Earth no longer meant anything to him, he was not a person who enjoyed luxury.

In addition, he has basically been spending all his time with Yao Rao during this period.

He had enjoyed many fine foods, but this was the first time he had ever been to such a luxurious restaurant.

However, Yao Rao is currently at home busy getting used to Mo Yun Teng. Otherwise, it would be nice to invite her over as well.

The others had never seen such a luxurious scene before. Although they didn't lose their composure, a hint of shock was hidden deep in their eyes.

Only Zhuge Tao remained calm.

After all, he had an older brother who was a war god, and he already held a high position. Although he hadn't seen this kind of scene many times, it wasn't surprising to him.

After all, Jiang Lan is now an inspector, and there aren't many people on the entire Earth stronger than him.

The underlying logic of this world is that martial arts are revered.

The stronger a person is, the more resources they can enjoy.

That makes perfect sense.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Jiang Lan didn't hesitate and put the backpack she was carrying on the table.

However, he did not take the items immediately, but instead said:

"Let's eat first."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was no longer in a hurry.

Wu Tong, Yang Wei, and Luo Feng were still a bit reserved, but Zhuge Tao, being a seasoned veteran, immediately smiled and lightened the mood, saying:

"What? You've already finished eating? Hurry up and start eating."

As Zhuge Tao spoke, the awkward atmosphere in the room eased considerably.

After chatting for a while, Wu Tong raised his wine glass and solemnly said to Jiang Lan:

"Inspector Jiang, this cup is for you. If I hadn't met you back then, I wouldn't be..."

Jiang Lan quickly stood up, interrupting Wu Tong.

"Chief Instructor Wu, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Wu Tong is now the director of the Extreme Club, but Jiang Lan still prefers to call him Instructor.

Wu Tong did not object to this at all.

Jiang Lan's strength and status speak for themselves; even if he were called Xiao Wu, he wouldn't dare say no!

Wu Tong gave Jiang Lan a deep look, then stopped talking, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Lan also accompanied one.

Although he doesn't usually drink, his current strength means that alcohol has no effect on him at all.

Upon reaching the planetary level, one's life level leaps forward, and the quality of all the cells in the body undergoes a qualitative leap.

If Jiang Lan wanted, the alcohol could be completely absorbed and digested by his cells the moment it entered his body. Not to mention that not long ago, he had also taken Wannian Willow Heart, which further enhanced his cell activity.

After finishing their drinks, the two sat back down in their chairs.

Beside Wu Tong, Luo Feng, though not as reserved as before, still seemed somewhat uncomfortable, clearly not quite used to it yet.

"Fengzi..." Wu Tong said with emotion, "You don't know, just a few days before your college entrance exam, I personally tested the physical fitness of the Inspector."

He shook his head again at this point.

"Too fast. Although I knew the Inspector's talent was ridiculously strong when we first tested his physical abilities, it's only been a few months..."

Luo Feng remained silent.

Only now did he realize what had happened before the college entrance examination and why Jiang Lan was already sitting in the main seat when he had just taken the martial arts assessment.

But judging from Wu Tong's words, Jiang Lan is just talented?

Are you kidding me?

What kind of talent does one need to cross a threshold that countless people can only dream of in a lifetime in just a few short months?

Because of the dark golden sphere in his brain, Luo Feng believed that his talent was extraordinary.

But I'll say it again.

The differences between people are simply too great.

He considered his extraordinary talent to be utterly insignificant compared to Jiang Lan's.

……

Forty minutes later, after several rounds of drinks.

Seeing that everyone was almost done, Jiang Lan picked up her backpack and started rummaging through it.

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Lan's backpack.

The real show is about to begin!

Zhuge Tao's eyes gleamed with a certain brilliance.

If one obtains a spirit of plants or trees, regardless of what it is, their strength will experience a qualitative leap.

Currently, although he is still some distance from becoming a God of War, if the effects of the plant spirit are similar to what he expected, it is not impossible for him to break through to the God of War level in one fell swoop.

Although the others didn't quite understand what the spirits of plants and trees meant to them, they could figure out with a little thought that, given Jiang Lan's status and strength, even a tiny bit of it peeking out from between his fingers would be enough for them to eat their fill.

A moment later, Jiang Lan reached out and placed four thousand-year-old willow heartwood pieces, each containing a flowing emerald-green liquid, on the table.

"This is the heartwood of a thousand-year-old willow tree. Consuming it can enhance your strength to a certain extent, as well as the activity of your cells. One for each of you four."

Previously, Jiang Lan obtained a total of eight thousand-year-old willow wood hearts and one ten-thousand-year-old willow wood heart on Fog Island.

Besides the two he and Yaorao drank, there were still seven thousand-year-old willow heart stones left.

"this?"

Zhuge Tao's eyes widened.

Even among plants, there are distinctions of high and low spirits, and coincidentally, he had heard of this thousand-year-old willow heartwood before.

The fact that we can find spirits of plants and trees on Earth is already quite remarkable.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lan was so generous.

If this were to be sold, even for hundreds of billions, there would be wealthy people scrambling to buy it, and they might not even be able to get their hands on it.

The spiritual power of a thousand-year-old willow heartwood is beyond the purchasing power of Earth's currency.

Such treasures are usually traded through barter.

Suppressing his excitement, Zhuge Tao said:

"This... Brother Lan, isn't this a bit too expensive?"

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

"What's so valuable about this? There will be more later."

"besides?"

Zhuge Tao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

To obtain a piece of thousand-year-old willow wood is already like receiving a windfall.

But judging from Jiang Lan's expression, it seems like this is two pies stacked on top of each other?

"Alright." Jiang Lan placed the willow wood heart on the round table and spun the turntable on it, saying:

"One for each person."

At this point, the group could no longer refuse, and each of them took one and placed it in front of them.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan flicked his wrist and a dagger was in his hand.

"go."

He gave a soft shout, and the dagger, as if it had gained its own intelligence, spun rapidly on the table, cutting a gash in the thousand-year-old willow heartwood in front of them.

"Drink this first, there'll be other things later."
