Siheyuan: A master brewer starts with a jar of bone-strengthening wine!

"Why!"

Liu Dong reached out and gently lifted her from the car, placing her firmly on the ground before letting go.

The problem is—her leg hasn't recovered yet!

As soon as he stood still, he fell backward.

"Ah!! I can't feel my legs!" Qin Huairu exclaimed.

Liu Dong reacted quickly and grabbed her waist again.

Hmm... it seems my hand brushed against a place I shouldn't have touched again...

hiss--

An indescribable feeling rushed straight to my head.

huh... huh...

In summer, clothes are thin, and both of them are covered in sweat. If they get too close, everything that should be soft and bouncy will stick to them.

Qin Huai swallowed hard, her head bowed low, not daring to utter a single word.

After a while, Liu Dong asked, "Are you done yet? Can you stand up now?"

"Hmm...it should work." She tried taking a step, and it actually worked.

"Thank you, Dong-ge... It's too late, I'm sorry to invite you in for a drink of water..."

"It's alright!" Liu Dong waved his hand. "Be careful, I'm leaving."

As the tricycle rode further and further away, Qin Huairu stood there, feeling empty inside.

Is it... that I'm not attractive enough?

They've plastered it all over, and he hasn't done anything about it?

She lowered her head and secretly tugged at the hem of her clothes, her fingers unconsciously sliding over a certain spot.

Not far away, Liu Dong, who had just ridden a short distance, suddenly heard a clear notification:

"Ding-dong! Mission complete!"

Congratulations on winning a prize of 888 million RMB!

Congratulations on obtaining: [Strengthening Bone Wine Jar] x1!

"The item has been stored in your 'Magic Wine Cellar,' please check it promptly!"

"laugh--"

Liu Dong suddenly slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

With a thought, his consciousness sank into the wine cellar space.

An introduction appears before my eyes:

【Strengthening Bone Wine Vat】: A system-exclusive brewing container. The wine brewed there contains the power to strengthen muscles and bones. Drinking it can significantly improve the body's stress resistance and endurance.

Can it enhance resilience?

Great, I'll try it right away!

He took out the original liquor from Zhanji Distillery and poured it into a wine vat to begin fermentation.

Brewing time: 24 hours.

To speed things up, simply throw the entire wine vat into the [Time Vat].

Time flow rate adjustment: 359 times faster.

A day inside takes only four minutes outside.

Four minutes later, the wine was ready.

Take out a bowl and take a small sip.

"Gulp..."

An attribute panel instantly popped up in front of me:

Strength: 947 points (Human Limit: 99)

Resilience: 46 points (Human Limit: 99)

Looking at the numbers, the resilience has increased by 1 point!

Come again!

"Gulp..."

Toughness: 47!

"Gulp..."

Toughness: 48!

"Glug glug glug..."

This type of functional liquor won't cause headaches or harm your health; you can drink as much as you want without any problems.

Liu Dong downed more than a hundred mouthfuls in one go.

Ultimately, resilience surged to 200 points.

"Ding-dong!" The system notification sounded: "Congratulations, host, your resilience has exceeded 200 points, unlocking the title: [Invulnerable to Blades and Spears]!"

The attribute panel has been refreshed again:

Resilience: 200 points (Human Limit: 99)

Currently possessing the following vats: Strengthening Vat, Bone-Strengthening Vat, Time Vat, Good and Evil Vat, Cursed Vat

Is this body so hard that even a knife can't cut it?

Liu Dong stood there dumbfounded.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He crawled out of the mysterious wine cellar, dusted himself off, and continued on his way.

Now that he's tough and thick-skinned, he walks with a gust of wind. He simply takes long strides, his feet barely touching the ground, and speeds up to fifty kilometers per hour.

That's right!

On the bumpy country dirt road, a pedal-powered tricycle sped past like a rocket.

If I'm not going to die from a fall, what am I afraid of if I roll over?

Even if it really flips over, it'll only roll a couple of times at most, without even a crack of its bones!

Besides, in the middle of the night, there aren't even many dogs wandering around in the village.

My mouth was dry from the journey, so I casually pulled out a bottle of [Bone Strengthening Wine] and gulped down two mouthfuls.

We got back to the courtyard house in less than an hour, and the first thing I did as soon as I got inside was to drink another bottle!

This heavy drinking session boosted resilience to 300 points.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your resilience has exceeded 300, unlocking the achievement [Immune to All Poisons]!"

What?

Is there such a good thing?

One more bottle, please!

He drank it and went straight to sleep.

……

Qianmen Tavern.

As the night deepened and all was quiet, the last group of guests left.

Liu Dong didn't come back today, so Xu Huizhen was busy wiping the table and sweeping the floor all by herself.

I had just mopped the floor clean when the door creaked open.

"We're closed!" she replied casually without even looking up.

Looking up, I saw He Yongqiang standing at the door.

"Yongqiang?" Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "You're back..."

She knew he had gone to see Xu Huizhi, and although she felt a tightness in her chest, she still forced a smile to try and get a good look from him.

The results of it?

He Yongqiang didn't even glance at her, walking straight past her like a stranger.

"You..." Xu Huizhen was so angry that her chest felt tight and she almost couldn't breathe.

"You ungrateful wretch!" With a roar, Old Man He rushed out from the backyard, cane in hand, and struck twice. "You ingrate! You've got such a good wife, why did you have to run off with someone else?"

"I'll beat you to death!"

With two sharp cracks, the cane struck him squarely on the head.

"Go ahead and hit me, hit me as hard as you want..." He Yongqiang didn't dodge, but sat down on the bench, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Thud!" The cane was flung against the corner of the wall.

He was panting heavily: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

He Yongqiang gritted his teeth: "You lied to me, how am I supposed to live? I'm going to marry Huizhi, I don't want her anymore!" He pointed at Xu Huizhen as he spoke.

Xu Huizhen felt weak all over and slumped onto the long bench, unable to utter a single word.

"Are you even human?" Old Man He roared. "That's your lawfully wedded wife! You just dump her like that? What will she do now?"

"Don't you have any conscience? Huh?"

He Yongqiang was stubborn; when he couldn't win an argument, he would just keep repeating the same thing over and over: "Who told you to keep this from me for so many years!"

Old Man He glared at him: "I'm your father. Even if I'm lying to you, you have to admit it!"

He Yongqiang suddenly sneered, "Who do you think you are, your father?"

This is true.

Old Man He was indeed not his biological father, but his uncle. Later, because he had no children, he adopted him as his stepson when the old man was twelve years old.

The father and son have had a relatively peaceful relationship over the years, and the old man has always treated him like his own son.

Now that I've heard that, my heart is sinking.

"I...I hurt here..." Old Man He clutched his chest, his voice trembling. "You eat my food, live in my house, wear my clothes, and now you're saying I'm not worthy to be your father?"

"Then I won't eat!" He Yongqiang turned and rushed into the backyard, haphazardly stuffing a few clothes into his bag. "From now on, I'll never set foot in this house again, and I won't step into this yard once more!"

"I'm not your son, I have a biological father, and I'm going to find him!"

"Pfft—" Old Man He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He Yongqiang walked away without looking back.

"Dad! Dad! Hold on!" Xu Huizhen rushed over to support the old man.

Old Man He's breathing grew heavier and heavier. With his last strength, he waved his hand: "Huizhen... pen and ink... I want to make a will!"
