“If you didn’t see it clearly, I can do it again.”
Before Mike could answer, Apollo said, “This tower can withstand eight thousand six hundred and forty-two more lightning strikes.”
Mike hurriedly stopped Apollo’s crazy act.
“I saw it, I saw it!”
At this moment, Mike finally understood why Foreskin was willing to pay a high price for him to chat with Apollo.
Apollo’s thought process was truly out of the ordinary.
In Apollo’s view, Thor wanted to learn, and he had agreed to teach.
So he would teach him, even if it meant destroying the entire Tower of Truth.
Having replicated this lightning strike, Mike felt extremely satisfied.
This was a huge win!
He couldn’t wait to find a demon god to practice on.
But first, it was six o’clock, time to wake up.
The rising sun cast its morning light on Mike’s face, leaving a deep shadow.
Apollo spoke, “Shouldn’t you be going back now?”
Mike nodded. “Yes, goodbye.”
“Come see me again before you go to the Ninth Abyss,” Apollo said.
With that, the white cloud beneath Mike suddenly plummeted, sending him back to the ground.
Mike looked around in confusion.
“Shadow Three, Shadow Three?”
Holy fuck, where was my bodyguard?!
From the shadows, Shadow Four emerged, covered in dust, coughing twice.
“Fourth Bro, Shadow Three is a little injured, he’s in the emergency room right now.”
Mike’s expression changed, and he flew into a rage.
“Which demon creature was so audacious as to ambush Shadow Three under the Tower of Truth?!”
Did they not have any regard for Thor and Apollo?!
This was unacceptable!
Shadow Four said with a hint of awkwardness, “Shadow Three wasn’t paying attention and got struck by lightning. It’s nothing serious.”
Mike suddenly realized.
“So it wasn’t a work-related injury… Then Shadow Three will have to pay for his own medical expenses.”
Shadow Four: ???
Something seemed wrong here.
As he spoke, Mike took out a small bottle.
“These 20 drops of Life Essence are a small token of my appreciation for Shadow Three.”
“Thank you, Fourth Bro.”
A burly man with a slightly burnt smell emerged from the shadows.
Shadow Three took the bottle and carefully put it away.
Mike once again passed through the Forest of Truth, returning to his dormitory.
“Shadow Three, I have a question for you.”
Mike suddenly asked, “Your body of demon god bones, which parts are you still missing?”
Shadow Three thought carefully and listed four parts.
“Skull, left leg bone, right forearm, pubic bone.” He added, “If possible, I’d like to have more penis.”
“Maybe not.” Mike advised, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When it comes to aesthetics, it’s better to follow the human race.”
Shadow Three nodded. “Fourth Bro, you’re right.”
Shadow Three had accompanied Mike to the Tower of Truth and been struck by lightning for no reason, which was truly an unexpected disaster.
Mike taking the initiative to ask which bones Shadow Three was still missing was a sign of goodwill.
Shadow Three needed demon god bones.
However, the sources of such things were always limited, and Shadow Three hadn’t been able to collect everything he wanted over the years.
To be precise, apart from demon gods themselves, only Supreme Beings possessed demon
god bones.
Oh right, Maxen also had a set.
After confirming the parts, Mike asked, “Have you chosen them all?”
Shadow Three looked at Mike in surprise and answered truthfully, “I’ve chosen the skull and forearm, but I haven’t decided on the coccyx yet.”
Mike teased, “Does the Fifth Demon God have the bones you want?”
If he had to pick the unluckiest demon god in the abyss, it would be the Fifth Demon God.
“No.”
Shadow Three shook his head.
“I… wouldn’t dare to use his bones.”
“Understood.”
The Fifth Demon God was special, Mike had always known that.
This topic ended here.
The relationship between Mike and Shadow Three was a purely utilitarian one.
Shadow Three needed something from Mike, and Mike would fulfill Shadow Three’s needs depending on the situation.
This conversation was a further communication of their needs.
If Mike wanted Shadow Three to do something for him, he had to offer something Shadow
Three needed.
Mike was very familiar with making deals.
First, understand what the other party needed, get the bargaining chips, and then he would be
qualified to continue the negotiation.
Opening the door, it was a new day.
Ace also came out at this time, followed by Little Nine.
“Little Nine, look what this is?”
Mike held up a piglet and presented it to Little Nine.
Mike didn’t forget to tell Vladimir, “Behave yourself.”
Pig Vladimir: Oink oink (Understood!)
Little Nine held the piglet, covering her nose.
“It stinks, piggy, did you eat something dirty?”
The piglet nodded frantically!
Mike, standing beside them, turned a blind eye.
On the way to the cafeteria, Mike said to Ace, “The first draft of the weapon is done. We’ll
discuss the details later.”
Ace nodded. “Okay, let’s hear how you plan to rip me off.”
“Come on, don’t underestimate me.”
Mike shook his head helplessly and changed the subject. “By the way, you can challenge the
Tower of Truth, right?”
“Yes.”
After receiving Ace’s confirmation, Mike suggested, “Let’s challenge the 29th floor together tonight. I’ll carry you to an SSSS-level rating, how about that?”
Ace looked at Mike suspiciously. “You’d be so kind?”
“Well, I also invited one more person.”
Mike asked proactively, “Foreskin, the manager of the Mystic Market, you know?”
Ace’s expression instantly became interesting.
“You’re not telling me you invited him, are you?”
“Yeah, is there a problem?”
Mike was puzzled. Did this guy have some unspeakable secret?
“Hahaha!”
Ace burst into laughter, almost falling over.
“Inviting Foreskin to climb the Tower of Truth, Mike, you’re really… ‘smart’!”
Mike didn’t have to worry about being overheard, as Shadow Three would take care of
encrypting their conversation so that no one else could hear.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this guy?”
“Nothing wrong!”
Ace shook his head and gave Foreskin a very high evaluation.
“Whenever this guy appears on the battlefield, he’s always the enemy’s biggest headache!”
Strange, Mike glanced at Ace, feeling like this guy was up to no good.
Why was he laughing so loudly?!
