Jinling West Road, Kiton clothing store.
As one of Italy's big three in menswear, Kiton's ready-to-wear starts at tens of thousands, and a tailor-made suit costs over a hundred thousand.
The brand is expensive for a reason. It uses top-quality materials such as super lightweight wool, summer alpaca, costly vicuña, and Escorial wool, paired with exquisite Naples tailoring, naturally winning the favor of countless wealthy individuals.
Lu Li originally didn't know this brand existed.
Earlier, after leaving the City God Temple and while eating at a restaurant.
Coincidentally, he chatted with Qin Liang about needing a few more clothes.
The other recommended he come here for custom clothes, so Lu Li came to take a look.
Of course, besides custom clothes, he also bought a lot of ready-made garments in various luxury stores.
Spent about six or seven hundred thousand.
Those shopping bags couldn't fit in the Porsche 911 at all.
Because of this, Lu Li was eager to buy a car with more space.
At this moment, a tailor was taking measurements.
Qin Liang was next to him, looking slightly in awe, he said, "Lu Zhen... Mr. Lu, do you have anything planned later? If not, you can visit my company."
Lu Li glanced at the flame babe sitting not far away, watching the shopping bags, then turned back and said, "My car's too small, I might go see what SUVs are good later, and buy one."
Qin Liang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What brand of SUV do you like?"
The female tailor said, "Sir, could you please raise your arms?"
"Okay." Lu Li raised his arms and continued speaking to Qin Liang, "I haven't decided, as long as it has enough space."
Qin Liang recommended, "The Bentayga or Cullinan both have good space. If you want bigger, you might need a yellow plate."
A yellow-plated SUV requires a B2 class motor vehicle license to legally drive on the road.
His own C1 license clearly doesn't meet the requirements.
Although with his current abilities, he could indeed ignore some rules, Lu Li felt there was no need to invite trouble, and he should follow the rules.
Today, when in the City God Temple, he used his spiritual power to control an ice spike, reaching speeds of over a thousand kilometers per hour, nearly sonic speed, with undeniable power, blasting open the hall's door at once, even cracking the walls.
Such fierce power, if directly used on a person, could probably tear someone to shreds.
"This is just the power wielded by controlling water molecules to condense into an ice spike."
Lu Li mused, "If I could increase the speed to eighteen or nineteen hundred kilometers per second, and precisely collide two deuterium nuclei, wouldn't it generate a nuclear reaction? As for nuclear fusion, manipulating the particle speed needs to reach 2,628 kilometers per second."
At that point, he would be like a human "nuclear reactor."
A two-ton hydrogen bomb typically contains four hundred grams of deuterium and six hundred grams of tritium, totaling just about a kilogram.
His spiritual power previously could control over a kilogram of matter, just not freely, the manageable amount was about half a kilogram.
Today, controlling ten ice spikes clearly weighed more than half a kilogram.
Lu Li speculated that perhaps it's because his body has been constantly evolving recently, hence his spiritual strength is still growing.
Of course, it might also be related to Little Golden Man's exhaustion, where he used energy rays for repair.
He hasn't figured out why exactly his spiritual power has increased significantly yet.
However, one thing's certain: if he can control object's speed to over eighteen hundred kilometers per second, then manipulating the weight of the material could possibly amplify by ten or twenty thousand times without a problem.
So then, the weight he could control would reach twenty to thirty thousand pounds.
Thinking of this, Lu Li chuckled to himself, controlling something weighing twenty to thirty thousand pounds and colliding at eighteen hundred kilometers per second, even without creating a nuclear reaction, the power would be formidable.
Not considering air friction loss.
This kinetic energy might just instantly destroy a small city.
Of course, this is just speculation; whether such a feat can be accomplished, he temporarily doesn't know.
As for whether what he just did will get out, Lu Li knows it's certain.
However, he said nothing earlier, and both Daoist Zhen and Daoist Zhang, as well as Qin Liang, volunteered to say they would take this secret to their graves.
Actually, he doesn't mind if it spreads.
After all, special departments are already paying attention, and one or two more incidents won't make a difference.
For instance, right now, Lu Li can use super sense of smell, super hearing, and other skills to sense Xiaolin and Wang Yu hiding not far away, monitoring him.
He glanced westward, retracted his gaze, and reconsidered the role of spiritual power.
To think his spiritual power could unleash such strong force just controlling water molecules.
Lu Li pondered, if he used spiritual power to manipulate elemental particles, perhaps he could indeed call wind and rain, command thunder and lightning, like an Immortal in supernatural novels.
At this moment, he realized just how magical spiritual power could be.
If one must compare to supernatural novels, spiritual power could probably be the legendary "mana."
Lu Li decided he'd thoroughly study physics and chemistry when he got back to boost his combat prowess.
Also, understanding now how powerful his spiritual power's explosive potential is, Lu Li knows he can to some extent disregard rules.
Thinking this, he gathered his thoughts.
Lu Li asked, "Do you think the Bentayga or the Cullinan is better?"
Qin Liang smiled, "The Bentayga accelerates fast, the Cullinan is powerful, each has its advantages. If I have to choose, I'd lean towards the Cullinan."
Lu Li thought so too, the Rolls-Royce brand has a louder reputation.
The tailor gestured to lower his hand.
Lu Li lowered his hand and said, "Alright, I'll check out Rolls-Royce later."
"Ordering a car and getting it takes about a year," Qin Liang reminded.
```
Lu Li was quite disappointed, "Does it take that long? If it really can't be helped, should I just buy a Bentayga?"
Qin Liang said, "A Bentayga would also take a long time, I'd estimate around half a year. If you expedite it, maybe a month."
Lu Li was speechless, "Why do they all take so long?"
Qin Liang asked, "Are you in a hurry to get a car?"
Lu Li replied helplessly, "My Porsche 911 is fine for usual driving, but when I have to take one or two people out, or carry some goods, it's really inconvenient. I'm not exactly in a rush, but a year or half a year is too long."
He left one thing unsaid: In a year or so, who knows, maybe he'll have evolved to be able to fly, then whether he has a car or not wouldn't matter.
Qin Liang tentatively said, "If you don't mind a second-hand car, I have a Cullinan I bought this year. I haven't driven it much, and I can transfer it to you for a bit cheaper?"
Lu Li just wanted to get a car quickly, his eyes lit up, "Alright, name your price."
Qin Liang barely hesitated, "You can just give me a million or eight hundred thousand or so."
Upon hearing this, the Flame Beauty sitting not far away immediately looked up.
She knew for sure that Qin Liang was currying favor with Lu Li!
A Cullinan that's been driven ten or twenty thousand kilometers would still sell for five or six million in the second-hand market.
Qin Liang now only asked for a million or eight hundred thousand, if not currying favor, what is it?
In other words, this price is practically a giveaway.
Yes, Qin Liang could completely give it away for free, but he asked for a million or eight hundred thousand.
This is his cleverness.
Giving something away isn't always accepted.
But selling it at a bargain price can still gain favor without making it seem like currying favor.
Lu Li indeed didn't understand cars and thought a million or eight hundred thousand for a second-hand Cullinan was reasonable.
He smiled, "Alright, then I thank you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Liang returned a smile, "No worries, I don't usually drive it myself anyway. It's a bit of a waste sitting in the garage, a good way to free up some funds."
That line was obviously just small talk.
Even if Lu Li didn't know much about cars, he wouldn't miss the small talk.
He thanked him repeatedly.
Before long, the tailor finished the measurements.
The female tailor eagerly said, "Mr. Lu, I've taken your measurements and will report them to the headquarters right away. We'll work overtime to get your clothes designed. They should be mailed to the address you provided within a month."
Lu Li acknowledged with a nod, "How much is it?"
The female tailor replied, "In total, it's four hundred thousand. Will you pay by card?"
The custom price for two suits, plus some shirts, was as high as four hundred thousand.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li realized how expensive the clothes worn by high society were.
He almost didn't hesitate, casually taking out his bank card, "By card."
The female tailor took it with both hands, "Please hold on, I'll swipe it."
Lu Li nodded, "Okay."
In a short while, the female tailor asked Lu Li to input the password, and just like that, four hundred thousand was spent.
Counting the bulk of ready-to-wear items he bought at a luxury shop before, spending six or seven hundred thousand, he had spent over a million just on equipping himself today.
If it were in the past, Lu Li would probably have felt a bit of heartache.
The last time he was willing to spend thirty to forty thousand on clothes,
it was entirely because of the discount savings from buying the Porsche 911.
But now, he didn't feel any heartache at all.
Simply curing a few dignitaries here and there would earn him assets in the tens of millions, how could spending just over a million make him feel bad?
Additionally, after the Liu Family incident, Lu Li had already started to care less about money.
Let's put it this way: As long as he's truly a remarkable person, there will be people eager to offer him whatever he wants.
This can be seen clearly from the Liu Family's reaction.
Merely showcasing his powerful medical abilities through energetic light, he was treated as an honored guest by them.
Being given a ten million reward.
And being gifted national paintings worth twenty to thirty million.
Liu Xiuming even went out of his way to solve a major problem for him.
Moreover, as long as he's willing, acquiring a Chinese-style courtyard villa valued at sixty to seventy million is no problem.
Lu Li completely understood the Liu Family's reaction. If he were just an ordinary person among the masses and encountered a miraculous person with incredible medical skills, given a chance to curry favor, would he?
The answer is yes.
Lu Li pondered to himself, so far, he's only shown his medical skills, yet has gained so much "respect" from the Liu Family.
If he demonstrates even more miraculous abilities, there might be even more significant figures vying to associate with him.
By then, even if he did nothing, the special department behind Xiaolin and Wang Yu might not be able to do anything about him.
In fact, Lu Li could confidently say that if he didn't want to pay for the custom clothes today, with just a look, Qin Liang would undoubtedly rush to swipe his card.
Under such circumstances, should he worry about how much money he has?
At this moment, Lu Li felt his mindset was transcending, transitioning from that of an ordinary person who just wanted to earn a little more to improve quality of life, towards that of a strong individual.
