Chapter Fourteen: Surprise!

  "Ah...!"

  His body had just moved a little, and a sharp pain came from his thigh. Lin Xiao clenched his teeth without making a sound, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell to the ground one by one from his forehead.

  "Ah! Older brother!"

  Lin Xiang let out a cry of surprise and hurried over, looking at Lin Xiao with a worried face.

  "My thigh has been shot."

  On Lin Xiao's thigh, three blood holes were gushing out blood, and a bloody smell suddenly filled the air.

  "Brother, I'll heal you!" Lin Xiang stretched out her small hand, directly covering the three adjacent blood holes. Instantly, a faint milky white glow lit up, and a numbness gradually replaced the previous intense pain, causing Lin Xiao's tightly furrowed brow to relax as well.

  A few minutes later... Lin Xiang released her hand, and the bloodstains on her hand miraculously disappeared. Looking again at Lin Xiao's thigh, the three holes in his pants were still there, and the bloodstains on top of them had not disappeared either. However, looking through the holes, what could be seen was smooth, white, and tender skin, like that of a baby.

  Lin Xiao's eyes widened in surprise as he stretched out his hand and touched those three places.

  "Is that it?" He stood up in surprise and looked at the other side of his thigh, only to find it was the same.

  "I'm awesome!" Lin Xiang proudly raised her head, like a proud little peacock.

  "Wow, you're too amazing!" Lin Xiao lavished praise on her without restraint, looking at her with a face full of gratitude.

  Suddenly, Lin Xiao looked around in all directions.

  "Right! Where's my money?"

  He remembered that he had already put the two bags of money into the Wan Jie system before his return, but now why can't he see them? If they weren't collected, then wouldn't these few shots be in vain?

  Seeing Lin Xiao's tense appearance, Lin Xiang couldn't help but cover her mouth and stifle a few giggles.

  "Brother, look! It's here!"

  Lin Xiao heard this and looked away, only to see Lin Xiang's small hand gesture, and from the depths of this space, two old-fashioned handbags flew over.

  As soon as he saw them, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up instantly.

  "It wasn't in vain that I took three bullets!"

  As soon as he opened his handbag, a large amount of US dollars was revealed before Lin Xiao's eyes.

  "Xīn ér, how much is it in total?" He raised his head and asked Lin Xīn.

  Honestly, he has never seen so much money in his life. These two full bags of money, if he really had to earn it himself, who knows if he would have the chance to earn that much in this lifetime!

  But now they are placed right in front of them, and sometimes Lin Xiao really has a kind of illusory feeling.

  "That's a total of $1.1 million, plus the $330,000 you had left over before, so now you have a total of $1,431,700."

  "Almost one and a half million dollars!" Lin Xiao's mouth was agape in astonishment.

  Right! There's still a task.

  Lin Xiao thought of the quest that directly rewarded two points of combat power and hastily called out the quest interface.

  All I saw was that the originally gray and white unfinished task had turned into gold at this moment, with two jumping words below.

  Pick up!

  "Take it directly!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.

  The next moment, the golden light in the task interface quickly shrank into a point and shot out with a 'whoosh' sound, entering Lin Xiao's body.

  At this moment, he was truly entering the Wan Jie system. The main body of the system remained in the outside world, disguised as a grain of ordinary dust. Therefore, the reward for this task directly entered his body, and the instant strengthening was completed.

  "Is that it?" Lin Xiao blinked his eyes, originally thinking there would be some grand scene, but unexpectedly it was so simple.

  "Brother, try it out quickly." Lin Xiang's face was full of eagerness as she looked at him, and with a wave of her hand, a suspended sandbag appeared in front of Lin Xiao. "Punch it hard!"

  Lin Xiao also wanted to know what kind of difference his strengthened body had made compared to before, although he could already clearly feel the increased power within his body, but if he didn't actually try it out for himself, he still felt a bit uncertain.

  "Okay, I'll give it a try."

  Standing in front of the sandbag, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, then sank his waist, swung his right arm back, and the next moment, a straight punch slammed into the sandbag.

  Bang!

  The sandbag was hit hard and flew out instantly, flying four or five meters away before falling to the ground, rolling a few times before stopping.

  Lin Xiao looked at this scene in surprise, and then looked at his own fist, only to find that the surface was only slightly red, and it disappeared in a moment.

  At this time, Lin Xiang smiled and walked up, looking at Lin Xiao and explaining: "The force of a straight punch after an ordinary adult accumulates power is probably around 150KG. This is a data that combines strength, speed, and impact area. An ordinary adult's combat effectiveness is only about 0.7 if you only calculate their physical quality. You have now increased your combat effectiveness by 2 points, all of which are added to your physical quality. Don't be surprised at this performance. In fact, it hasn't even brought out the advantages of your body yet. If you undergo some training, you can do even better."

  "So am I also considered a small expert now?" Lin Xiao asked excitedly with a clenched fist.

  But Lin Xiang shook her head without giving face.

  "You're still far from being a master, you're just an ordinary person with a bit of brute force. Even if you were to participate in a sprint, you might not be able to outrun the world champions because you don't know how to utilize this power."

  "Then where should I go to learn?" Lin Xiao asked eagerly.

  "Take your time, you can choose to find a teacher in the real world to learn, but that's too much of a waste of time. Actually, I would recommend finding a teacher in those small worlds to study."

  "I understand." Lin Xiao nodded seriously.

  "By the way, you have a new task, and also, this month you still have two chances to enter other small worlds. This time is not calculated according to your real-world time, but from the day you activated the Multiverse System, so today is actually the first day of this month."

  "Understood!" Lin Xiao's current mood was obviously not bad, and he didn't dwell on the issue of time. In fact, today was only the second day of August, and the gap between this time and reality wasn't big.

  At this time, he once again summoned the task interface, and the tasks on the task interface had changed.

  Task type: Daily life task

  Task Name: Family Fortune (2)

  Task requirement: Accumulate a fortune of $1 billion (by any means)

  Mission Reward: 5 Combat Power

  Task deadline: Six months

  Under the grayish-white task interface was the progress of the task. Lin Xiao's task progress had only been completed a little more than one-tenth.

  "It's increased by tenfold all of a sudden, this isn't easy at all!" Lin Xiao Ke hadn't forgotten that to complete the previous task he had almost paid with his life, one million was already so difficult, let alone now it had increased by tenfold to become ten million, and the time had also been shortened by half.
