"Gangxin!" *2

Cuttlefish and Iron Crocodile's surprised voices softly rose.

Bai Pu sat across from the two, raised his hand to stop their questioning words, and said, "Time is tight. I know what you want to ask, so I'll show you the answer directly."

As he spoke, Bai Pu had already taken out the and set it to exhibition mode.

"Hiss!"

Their eyes instantly filled with intertwined desire.

"How did you get it?"

"Can we get one?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously. Realizing they spoke at the same time, they exchanged an awkward smile.

Cuttlefish forced himself to calm down, took a breath, and said, "Gangxin, yesterday Iron Crocodile and I tried finding some small tasks among the gang forces in Chaisang City, but gained nothing."

Bai Pu said lightly, "That's normal. You two are Medical Officers of Sun Quan's Army, official figures, subtly opposed to the Jianghu gangs of Chaisang City! Of course they won't accept you, let alone assign you tasks."

After taking a sip of tea, Bai Pu continued, "Luckily, in the current plane scene, the main factions are the Cao Army and the Sun Liu Alliance Army opposing each other. The friction between Sun Quan's Army and the Jianghu gangs remains latent. Otherwise, had you approached them, you might have been attacked."

"So how could you join the Wu County Lu Clan?" Iron Crocodile was puzzled.

Bai Pu smiled and did not mention that his initial identity was a side branch member of the Lu Clan. This was a privilege for a Level 2 Awakener like him entering the high-difficulty mid-level plane scene (Level 4-6)!

"I have a way to get you into the Four Rivers Gang," Bai Pu said, "The premise is that you must follow my command."

"Alright!" They did not show any reluctance, and at this moment, they dared not underestimate Bai Pu's level in the slightest.

Bai Pu was not surprised by Iron Crocodile and Cuttlefish's display of seeing the situation.

This was based on their willing and uncomplaining demeanor, avoiding no dirt at the Wounded Soldier Camp the day before. He deduced their personality and way of doing things from this!

...

Bai Pu led the two to buy several herbs in the pharmacy, then purchased goods at a donkey glue shop next door, and used Alchemy to mix them.

As a Medical Officer responsible for purchasing large-scale medicines for Sun Quan's Army, shops dared not raise prices arbitrarily.

Even so, two precious materials still cost Bai Pu a full hundred guan of funds!

Bai Pu used funds for purchasing large-scale medicinal materials. Compared to military expenses, this hundred guan was not much! Later, he would make an account of the money and distribute it among the various large-scale purchases, and it would definitely reveal no clues.

In addition to reaching the required level of favor, gaining Doctor Liu's trust was also crucial due to Bai Pu's famous family background.

If it were an unknown humble family member, they would definitely be unable to shoulder such a significant task of purchasing military supplies.

Anyway, since the military funds could not be taken out from this plane, not spending them is a waste.

After two hours of attempts, Bai Pu finally formulated a highly adhesive, pungent gum-like substance.

The prompt from Spirit Realm Will arrived:

[Unknown Black Adhesive: E-level item. A special item concocted using Alchemy combined with Huaxia's traditional medicine knowledge. Pouring this item forms a large area deceleration zone, reducing everyone within the zone by (3) points of movement speed. Duration: 15 minutes]

[Warning: If the affected person's Power attribute does not exceed 5 points, they will be completely immobilized by the adhesive and unable to move.]

From a literal perspective, a reduction of 3 points of movement speed represents the change of 3 points of Agility's movement speed.

In this high-difficulty mid-level plane scene, where native powerhouses have agility scores as high as dozens of points, a reduction of 3 points agility in movement speed is not very useful.

The key is that this item does not differentiate between friend and foe. Everyone stepping on it must slow down.

However, Bai Pu painstakingly concocted this to deal not with native powerhouses.

But to handle common soldiers!

South of Chaisang City, in a large stronghold of the Red Lotus Society, Bai Pu and the others infiltrated and directly poured the outside the conference hall where the enemy's powerhouses gathered!

In the conference hall, there was the reclusive second leader of the Red Lotus Society, a Level 6 Elite!

There were also five summoned mid-level officers, their Levels ranging from four to five, and their Templates falling between standard templates and the Elite Template, qualifying as "Quasi-Elite" characters.

As the battle erupted, a large group of Red Lotus Society gang members (of weak templates) outside heard the alarm and attempted to charge into the conference hall, only to be stuck by the black adhesive on the ground. Each lifted foot was met with countless extended black threads, making it extremely difficult to move.

Only gang members with Power values exceeding 5 points, possessing a certain level of strength, could storm into the conference hall.

However, Bai Pu blocked the entrance, directly activating Flesh Armor!

The confined weak members of the Red Lotus Society became a continuous source of Shield Value for Bai Pu! Those elite gang members sliced wildly at Bai Pu's back, only causing ripples on the shield, without breaking it!

Even the mid-level officers of the Red Lotus Society, attempting to charge out of the hall, found their attacks on the gate-blocking Bai Pu painless!

Only the second leader was a rare Spiritual Talent type individual, who opened a yellowed Confucian classic, reciting noble sayings, each sentence of sage wisdom ringing like a bell, continuously impacting Bai Pu, causing attribute-free magic damage!

This is one of the Scholar's abilities in this plane: Verbal Duels!

But all these damages were borne by Bai Pu relying on the timely replenishment of the Flesh Armor shield.

In the conference hall, Iron Crocodile and Cuttlefish finally shook off their lethargy, displaying the formidable combat strength of prodigious Awakened ones.

Iron Crocodile, a Level 4 Enhanced Elite Profession "Barbarous Slaughterer," swung his Great Axe leaping and slashing, with Cuttlefish's coordination, he brutally split a mid-level officer into two!

Cuttlefish, as a control-type Enhanced Elite Profession "Puppet Master," extended her fingers with transparent threads, like manipulating puppets, tightly entwining the enemy's joints.

Even if opponents passed both the Power and Agility checks, evading Cuttlefish's puppet silk manipulation, they would still be disturbed, acting stiffly and moving slowly!

Iron Crocodile and Cuttlefish deliberately showcased their value in front of Bai Pu, fighting exceptionally hard. With Bai Pu covering in front and repelling the enemies, they could freely exert their output.

However, while Bai Pu was secretly amazed at the Level 4 Enhanced Elite's output and control capabilities, Iron Crocodile and Cuttlefish were even more astonished by Bai Pu's resilience!

Knowing that Bai Pu was only at Level 2, yet faced Level 6's second leader and, due to Level Suppression, had to endure an additional 40% more damage! Such terrifying additional damage enhancement made even Tanks of the same level dare not claim to emerge unscathed, yet Bai Pu endured it.

Soon, the first wave of the weak gang members behind Bai Pu fell.

The remaining gang members dared not advance. In their eyes, the black adhesive on the ground seemed like an invitation from King Yama!

Without the weak gang members providing a source for the shield, Bai Pu's pressure increased sharply.

This is also the weakness of the professional skill "Flesh Armor": as long as the enemy is slightly clever and knows to avoid temporarily, Bai Pu has no recourse. Though Flesh Armor has a duration of 120 seconds, once activated it lasts until the end, with no option to turn it off and on again.

"A state without legal frameworks and virtuous individuals internally, and no enemies externally leads to inevitable ruin," hollered the second leader of the Red Lotus Society, chanting another instance of Verbal Duels, this time a long sentence, with prolonged power-up time and potent force!

Upon shouting the sentence, there seemed to be a gathering of transparent Literary Qi, and the second leader was slightly breathless, evidently consuming excessive energy.

In the air, transparent ripples spread, stringing together seemingly solid words, crashing violently into Bai Pu's chest.

Bai Pu seemed to be struck by a battering ram, his chest cracking, and blood seeping from his mouth.

This blow...had damage exceeding 100 points!

Fortunately, sensing the danger, Bai Pu activated the Unstable Shield, offsetting 57 points of damage. Otherwise, a single hit delivering over 100 points of magic damage would have grievously injured him.

[Your Talent Ability: Adaptive Evolution can store a new form: Negative Body. Acknowledging that you have stored forms at 4/4, please delete one of the existing forms before storing the new form.]

Bai Pu did not hesitate to delete the Cold Body form against frost damage, and then directly activated Negative Body!
