Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 62 - 61: The Fox Disciples’ Choices (Double-Length)
The sky over Fox Mountain is still covered in dark clouds.
The mountain wind howls as it sweeps across the square.
Bai Mo sits atop the high altar, tightening his windbreaker around him.
Looking at the dense crowd of fox disciples in the square, he observes the fiery red figures, takes a Loudspeaker Pill, and speaks loudly.
"Everyone understands, right?
"There are two kinds of potion formulas: one enhances upper limb strength, and another boosts lower limb agility and speed. Choose according to your preference.
"Enhance the upper limbs and you can learn the complementary swordsmanship.
"Boost the lower limbs and you can learn the complementary step technique.
"These body techniques are the lifetime effort of an Ancient Immortal and are very valuable.
"After taking them, the enhancements, combined with the body techniques, can boost you to the level of Sequence Eight!"
The pill formula has been improved by Bai Mo, with fewer side effects and stronger enhancements, suitable for the fox disciples. However, they can’t be taken simultaneously; a choice must be made, which is precisely the reason for the significant boost.
"However, let’s make it clear in advance that enhancing the body with this potion involves a very painful process!
"Very painful!
"Very painful!
"So... participation in the enhancement is voluntary.
"You have three options—enhance the upper limbs, enhance the lower limbs, or no enhancement.
"If you’re afraid of the pain, you can choose not to enhance."
In the square, the fox disciples gather in threes and fives, whispering among themselves, speaking in their fox language.
The mishmash of enhancements they already have can put them at a top-tier Sequence Nine level. Now, these two potions can help them go further.
But which one to choose?
Among the foxes, White Ears furrows his brow, very conflicted!
If only he could choose both!
But sadly, if he tries for both, the effect will be halved...
White Ears reflects on his work, mainly excavating relics, which requires wielding a shovel. He’s decided, upper limb enhancement!
Next to him, Black Ears looks down at his hind legs. His primary job is running around Fox Mountain, delivering messages, transporting goods. So, lower limb enhancement it is!
Soon, the foxes divide into two distinct groups: the larger group, over seven thousand, opts for upper limb enhancement. The smaller group, over two thousand, chooses lower limb enhancement.
The fox disciples are practical; they like swordsmanship and step techniques, but value work efficiency the most! When choosing, they select the enhancement most useful for their work.
As for the pain associated with enhancement that the master mentioned, they’ve not even considered it.
Bai Mo sits high on the altar, observing the choices of his disciples, remaining silent for a long time.
"Alright, let’s start preparing the potions."
...
The morning sunlight streams onto the windowsill.
Bai Mo sits at the dining table and opens the freshly delivered tofu pudding.
Snow-white tofu, golden brown gravy, red chili oil, and green scallion garnish combined create a visually appetizing breakfast. Along with five leek and egg stuffed fried buns, it’s Bai Mo’s entire breakfast.
As he eats, he pulls out his newly acquired smartphone.
Lighting up the screen, he notices its visibly fine resolution!
Swiping the screen, he can noticeably feel its smooth responsiveness!
"This is really great!"
Bai Mo opens several apps, switching between them. Then he opens the phone settings to check its specifications. Holding it, feeling the back panel, he assesses its weight and thickness... it’s indeed much better than his previous youth edition phone!
Looking at the youth edition phone cast aside, he’s suddenly struck by how old and shabby it seems.
Bai Mo reaches for the old youth edition phone.
"The owner isn’t fickle, just wants to let you retire and enjoy your later years.
"Please hand over the SIM card, hehe."
Suddenly, as if in protest, the old phone’s screen lights up abruptly!
Bai Mo pauses for a moment, picks up the old phone, and realizes it’s because a message has been received.
"Uh..."
Who sent the message?
Opening it to read...
[Dear Immortal Seeker, hello, we are the Dark World...]
Huh?
Dark World?
Did they really get hold of the Immortal-Related Personnel’s phone numbers?
[...Today, we send a message to all Immortal Seekers, inviting you to witness a grand spectacle. Within seven days, we will kill a mortal attempting to spy on the Dark World. His name is Zhang Yuan, currently working in the Network Technology Department of the Immortal Technique Committee in West State City. Remember, his life will end in no more than seven days!]
Huh?
Bai Mo reads the message again.
This so-called "Dark World" sending such a message to all Immortal-Related Personnel, what does it mean?
Challenging the Immortal Technique Committee?
He opens the Immortal Technique forum, and sure enough, the whole forum is ablaze, with post after post refreshing quickly, all discussing the matter.
[What is the Dark World?]
[Did you receive the message too?]
[A lot of people received it]
[Strange, where did the Dark World get our numbers from? Could they have hacked into the Immortal Technique Committee’s server?]
[Being able to mass-send messages, have they also hacked the carrier?]
[Such strong technology!]
[The Dark World, an opposing villainous organization against the Immortal Technique Committee?]
...
[The Dark World is so arrogant, daring to specifically target and kill the technical personnel of the Immortal Technique Committee?]
[If they really succeed in killing him, wouldn’t the Immortal Technique Committee lose face?]
[But if they don’t succeed within seven days, then the Dark World would lose face as well]
...
[That being said, between the Dark World and the Immortal Technique Committee, which is stronger?]
[The Immortal Technique Committee, probably, given their official backing]
[Haha, to determine who is stronger, just see if Zhang Yuan survives after seven days]
