Then let them offer their loyalty!

As a result... the scam was discovered before it even began.

"Waaaaah..." Shen Lingshuang felt more and more wronged as she thought about it, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.

The reason she covered her mouth was because she was afraid Qiu Tu outside would hear, which would be even more embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu, standing outside the restroom, didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, he found it quite amusing.

He blinked, grinned mischievously, walked to the bathroom door, and gently knocked. "Actually... you don't need a pad. I like you just the way you are."

Shen Lingshuang, sitting in the restroom, had slightly red eyes and was pouting.

Qiu Tu added, "After all, small ones are also very cute."

Shen Lingshuang was almost furious even through the door.

She opened the bathroom door, glared at Qiu Tu, and said, "You're the cute one! Your whole family is cute!"

After saying that, she ran back to her bedroom with her short legs, jumped onto the bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and ignored Qiu Tu.

Seeing Shen Lingshuang's sullen expression, Qiu Tu could barely suppress the upward curve of his lips.

After a busy day of official business, it's quite fun to tease the adorable Shen Lingshuang.

After taking off his uniform jacket and washing up in the bathroom, Qiu Tu returned to bed and lay down next to Shen Lingshuang.

Shen Lingshuang remained covered by the blanket and ignored him.

Qiu Tu didn't care and hugged him directly, then started touching him through the blanket.

At first, Shen Lingshuang was holding back, but a minute later, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She threw off the blanket, her face flushed, and glared at Qiu Tu, "What are you doing!"

Qiu Tu looked at her sincerely, "I want to prove to you that I really like you..."

"Her figure."

Hearing Qiu Tu's ambiguous and lewd words, Shen Lingshuang's face turned even redder, as if it could bleed.

She grabbed the blanket and punched Qiu Tu a few times, saying in embarrassment and anger, "I don't need your proof! Don't move!"

Qiu Tu continued to look at her with a smile.

Shen Lingshuang felt as if steam was rising from her head from being stared at.

Embarrassed and annoyed, she pulled the blanket over her head again and started acting recklessly.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu stuck it on again.

A moment later, he threw out the tampered underwear and said softly, "Don't wear these anymore, they're bad for your health."

"If you think it's too small, I can help you. I have a family-inherited breast enhancement technique."

Shen Lingshuang, her face buried under the covers, mumbled, "I'll kill you once you're asleep."

But those words sounded more like a coquettish plea than a threat...

Qiu Tu's smile widened even more.

Ways to enhance relationships #81: Take action when the time is right. Physical contact is the most effective way to strengthen a relationship.

P.S.: If you miss your chance, the girl won't just not think you're a gentleman; she'll start to doubt her own charm and your feelings for her...

[9 days (the time it takes for the Yin Caimei case to close)]

...

Early the next morning.

As soon as Qiu Tu opened his eyes, he saw Shen Lingshuang's cute face close to his.

She said with a serious expression, "Congratulations, the surgery was a success, you are now a girl."

Qiu Tu casually pulled her into his arms and said lazily, "Sorry, the surgery failed. I can still feel it. Feel it if you don't believe me."

Shen Lingshuang's joke failed, and she blushed deeply instead. She nestled against Qiu Tu's chest like a kitten.

Listening to Qiu Tu's strong heartbeat, she felt inexplicably at ease...

After enjoying the quiet morning for a while, Qiu Tu, unusually, took the initiative to go downstairs and buy breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Qiu Tu also took the opportunity to check his gains from yesterday's "Loyalty Game".

Last night, although he played around with Shen Lingshuang for a while, his good habit still led him to set up a "loyalty game" before going to bed.

Moreover, compared to the previous two nights, Qiu Tu even swapped the players for the two games this time:

Let the Eagles play a "fighting game" with Wang Xi, and let Atai play a "salvage game".

He planned to test whether the game process and rewards would differ for different participants.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu first opened the "fighting game".

With a click of his mind, the results screen of the "fighting game" appeared in front of him.

Compared to Atai's battles in the previous two days, the battle between Eagles and Wang Xi was significantly more brutal: Eagles' pixelated figure was holding a bicycle chain, covered in wounds and blood.

Wang Xi's pixelated character this time is equipped with a kitchen knife, and compared to the eagle covered in blood, Wang Xi is clearly in much better condition, at least he doesn't have many wounds.

This discovery made Qiu Tu's heart skip a beat: Could it be that he failed in last night's game?

He quickly checked the game prompts.

Fortunately... in the end, the eagle won the battle: he tied a bicycle chain around Wang Xi's neck, so tightly that Wang Xi's face turned blue.

Seeing the Eagles' pyrrhic victory, Qiu Tu guessed that the combat power in fighting games was likely linked to real-world strength.

Now that his subordinates are all ordinary people, they are competing in terms of "hand-to-hand combat ability".

However, if one of his subordinates becomes a Cataclysm in the future, the Cataclysm ability may very well become the condition for victory in the duel between the two sides!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also used his mind to click on the Eagle's gains after this victory.

As he clicked, several notifications immediately popped up in front of him:

[Win the loyalty game and receive a reward.]

Wang Xi's loyalty +2

[Wang Xi's Memory Fragment (Small) +1]

'Huh? I've acquired another memory fragment?'

Last time, Qiu Tu also obtained a fragment of Wang Xi's memory. Moreover, that fragment was only "tiny" but it contained a lot of useful information. Now that he has obtained a "small" fragment, Qiu Tu is immediately curious about what interesting scenes he can see.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu tried to click on this small fragment of memory with his mind.

The next second, the scene changed, and Qiu Tu appeared in a new room.

This room is clearly much more luxurious than the last one.

The floor was covered with wool carpets and furnished with genuine leather sofas; there were even murals hanging on the walls.

The man Qiu Tu had seen before, dressed in a black suit, with bright red hair and a clown mask, was now sitting casually on a leather sofa, talking to "Qiu Tu"!

"What did I tell you! It's not like it'll ever be discovered!"

"How could those dim-witted agents possibly catch us!"

"So, your constant fear and anxiety are completely unfounded!"

After saying that, the masked man tossed a booklet to Qiu Tu. "Now that we've got the medicinal herbs, it's time to make the potion!"

"These are the recipes for those medicines!"

"You only have one month to produce these potions!"

Qiu Tu took the booklet and opened it to look at its contents.

The man was still standing there with his arms raised, muttering in a somewhat morbid manner, "As long as we have these medicines!"

"I'll be able to make a name for myself in the New Territories!"

"To bring 'joy' to 'God'!"

"At that time, 'God' will surely grant me even more power!"

As he spoke, a mysterious power seemed to erupt from the masked man, and that power swept over Qiu Tu's body.

Qiu Tu clearly felt his body tremble and shrink back.

He felt a mixture of excitement and fear within himself.

The final image in the memory is of the masked man turning to look at Qiu Tu; his bloodshot eyes and morbid demeanor are particularly chilling...

......

"Qiu Tu? Qiu Tu?!"

Hearing the calls coming closer, Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze.

"Phew!" He took a deep breath and looked at Shen Lingshuang, who was leaning close to him with a concerned expression.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lingshuang looked at Qiu Tu with some concern and said, "You were eating when you suddenly stopped moving. Your whole body was stiff and your eyes were lifeless."

After saying that, her face was full of worry, "Are you sick?"

"Or is it a side effect of the Cataclysmic Awakening?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu slowly snapped out of his reverie. He smiled and patted Shen Ling Shuang's head, "It's alright, I was just a little distracted."

Shen Lingshuang blushed and slapped away his outstretched hand, "Get away! Pervert!"

She realized that ever since Qiu Tu saw her changing her underwear last night, Qiu Tu's behavior had become increasingly indecent, which was really annoying!

While playing with Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu was also pondering the information he had obtained from the fragments of memory.

First, he can be certain that the memory fragment presented is most likely something that happened in the last month.

This memory clearly refers to what happened after Wang Xi and the masked man robbed the medicine shop.

Secondly, what Qiu Tu didn't expect was that Wang Xi and the masked man robbed the pharmacy not to make money, but to concoct medicine.

But... what are those medicines used for?

Why does it bring pleasure to "gods"? And why does it excite the masked man so much?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze fell on Shen Ling Shuang...

Chapter 94: Obtain a new Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm! (7k)

Startled by Qiu Tu's sudden gaze, Shen Ling Shuang was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively clutched her chest, looking at him warily and asking, "What are you doing?"

Qiu Tu had already had his fill of playing, so he had no other thoughts now. He asked, "By the way, if I give you a formula or ingredients for a potion, can you roughly judge its effects?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingshuang pondered for a moment, but did not rule out the possibility of rejection, saying, "I...can give it a try."

After receiving Shen Lingshuang's affirmative reply, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and carefully recalled the formulas for several medicines on the first page of the booklet in his memory.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and recited the names of the materials in order: "Rebellious Scales, Dry Seven, Guangbai, Great Thistle..."

As Qiu Tu recited the names of each medicinal herb and ingredient, Shen Lingshuang's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Only after Qiu Tu finished reciting the names of the medicinal herbs did she whisper, "This seems to be... some kind of catastrophic potion."

"And it's a potion that can only be made through some kind of catastrophe."

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean by a potion that can only be made through a certain catastrophic process?"

When the conversation turned to knowledge related to potions, Shen Lingshuang became noticeably more arrogant.

She raised her head slightly before confidently explaining, "The Cataclysmic Potion is different from ordinary potions. Although it also follows the [Star Moon King's] formula..."

"But [Moon Medicine] does not necessarily have to be a material for disaster; it can also be a means of power."

"In other words, the cataclysmic power of the [Cataclysm] can be used to replace a medicinal herb to create a potion containing the pathway of the Cataclysm."

As she spoke, Shen Lingshuang explained this special catastrophe potion to Qiu Tu in detail.

To explain it in simple terms:

Crafting a Cataclysmic Potion normally requires four medicinal herbs and materials: Star, Moon, and Royal Minister. Among them, Star Herbs and Moon Herbs are Cataclysmic materials, containing Cataclysmic power.

The "royal medicine" and "ministerial medicine" are common medicinal materials that play a harmonizing or additional role.

As a result, some pharmacists later found that the materials for the Cataclysm were too difficult to obtain, so they only added [Star Medicine], and used the power of the Cataclysm to replace the remaining [Moon Medicine].
