"For him, arms dealing might... might just be a tiny, insignificant business for amusement within his vast, unimaginable dark business empire."
"This Mr. Li..."
Just how rich is he?
"...richer than a country?"
The young superintendent of police looked up at the sky and slowly uttered those four words, words that could take anyone's breath away.
But then he shook his head, revealing an even more solemn and dangerous expression.
"Do not."
"This word is no longer enough to describe him."
"Countries, too, vary in size."
"And the wealth he possesses, and the cutting-edge technologies he controls—technologies we've never even heard of—that could easily reshape the world order..."
"It has far surpassed the overall size of most countries in the world."
“He… is no longer simply ‘rich’.”
"He is himself a walking, self-aware, independent, dark 'financial empire' that is not bound by any law or morality."
"And Bald Qiang..."
"She was the only one in this dark empire, and also the one he favored the most..."
“'The Crown Prince', huh.”
The chief inspector looked at the screen, his expression filled with apprehension and solemnity.
That day, Bald Qiang was once again obstructed by the two bears.
Once again, not a single tree was cut down.
Soon, his relentless phone rang again.
[On the other end of the phone, Boss Li roared angrily, "Bald Qiang, where's the wood? Why haven't you brought it over yet?"]
Bald Qiang explained in a low, aggrieved voice, "Boss Li, you don't know, when I was cutting down trees, those two stinky bears kept coming over to cause trouble, so this wood..."
[Boss Li roared, "You useless bastard! It's been so long, and you still can't handle those two bears!"]
Bald Qiang said with a forced smile, "Boss Li, it's mainly those two stinky bears that are too cunning. They always attack me when I'm not strong enough. Do you think we could postpone the wood matter for a couple more days?"
"A few days' rest? Don't even think about it. I'll send you a bottle of 'Super Stamina Pills' right now to greatly boost your stamina. If you still can't handle those two bears and can't chop wood... hmph."
[After leaving this message.]
Mr. Li angrily hung up the phone.
The 70th Super Energy Pill gave Bald Qiang power comparable to that of a god!
The World of Boonie Bears
“...Mr. Li.”
"You...you gave me a good scolding on the phone again."
"You're useless to scold me, you can't even handle two bears..."
"But……"
Looking at his future self on the sky, Bald Qiang didn't show any anger or grievance on his face after hanging up the phone, as he usually did.
"After you finished cursing at me..."
"But then he said he'd send me a bottle of that 'super stamina pill,' worth a billion dollars, like a god's elixir?"
"Just because... just because I couldn't beat those two bears?"
"Just because of me, I complained to you that I didn't have any energy?"
Bald Qiang revealed an expression filled with extreme shock, emotion, and unprecedented, immense confusion—an incredibly complex one.
For the first time, he completely and utterly failed to understand the mysterious Boss Li, whom he had known for so many years.
"……turn out to be."
"So all along, you've only been saying bad things to me."
"But in fact……"
"Yet you've always been doing this kind of thing for me, in ways I can't understand at all, quietly and secretly, behind my back?"
He felt that his heart, already riddled with holes and cold from the torment of real life, was now cold.
At this moment, he was completely filled with an immense emotion called "warmth," which he had never experienced before.
...
The world of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
"I knew it."
"I knew it. That Mr. Li was definitely not some ordinary bad guy."
"He is a great, behind-the-scenes 'mentor' who has worked hard to train Mr. Bald Qiang."
"Look."
"Mr. Bald Qiang just complained to him a little, saying that he had no strength left."
"The results of it?"
"This great mentor gave him the 'Super Energy Pill' worth a billion without hesitation."
"What does this mean?"
"This shows that he doesn't care about that so-called 'money' at all."
"What he cares about is whether Mr. Bald Qiang can become stronger through these repeated and severe trials."
"What a profound, and what a great, and loving way of educating people!"
Thor looked up at the sky, a look of immense pride and admiration on his face, a look that seemed to say, "Just as I expected."
"...Ten...Ten billion?"
"Just because his employees couldn't beat two bears, he casually threw out a billion-dollar prop?"
"This...this can't be described as a 'good boss' anymore."
"This is simply... insane."
Xiao Lin, standing to the side, looked at the sky and revealed a unique and extremely complex expression that comes from an ordinary office worker when faced with such a completely unreasonable, super-rich operation. It was filled with envy, jealousy, and a hint of shattered values.
"...I'm so envious."
"I'm so envious."
“Every day, I work hard and overtime at the company, I’m exhausted like a dog, and when I get home, I’m still tortured to death by this dragon.”
"The results of it?"
"Let alone a billion."
"I don't even know where I'm going to get the money for next month's rent..."
She wore an expression that conveyed the bitterness of a corporate slave and a sense of utter despair.
[A moment later.]
A package was delivered to Bald Qiang's doorstep.
He quickly opened the package.
[And I saw the instruction manual on the box.]
The instructions state that each pill is effective for ten minutes, and no more than three pills should be taken within a single day.
[After reading the instruction manual.]
[Bald Qiang immediately took out the small red pill that was in the bottle.]
[The instant he swallowed the pill.]
[Bald Qiang's pupils instantly turned a terrifying red.]
【"Ha｀々."】
He just yelled.
The furniture, refrigerator, dishes, and microwave in the entire room were instantly shattered by this powerful force.
"Hehehe... Right now, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy."
【The voice has just fallen.】
[Bald Qiang dashed out of the room as if he had teleported.]
He started circling his yard very quickly.
His speed was incredibly fast, so fast that only blurry afterimages could be seen, and he even stirred up a small tornado at the scene.
He can even easily do push-ups with one finger, and carry a boulder the size of a small mountain on his shoulder while effortlessly doing frog jumps.
The world of Under One Person
"Fuck me..."
"This...this is fucking outrageous!"
Zhang Chulan looked at the sky and saw Bald Qiang, who had instantly transformed from an ordinary lumberjack into a superhuman being radiating red flames, simply by taking a pill.
He revealed a twisted expression filled with jealousy, envy, and a sense of extreme unfairness about the world.
“We extraordinary people have worked hard, starting to practice Qi from the womb, practicing in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.”
"Even after decades of training, he might not be as powerful as he is now; a casual shout from him is incredibly strong."
"And what happened to him?"
"He fucking, just casually popped a little red pill?"
"You just got a ten-minute superhuman experience card?"
"Is it the kind that lets you renew three times a day for free?"
"No wonder it's a 'super stamina pill' worth a billion."
He felt that his life and cultivation over the past few decades were simply a huge joke.
"……overbearing."
"This is a method that is domineering to the extreme."
Wang Ye's face was also filled with unprecedented shock.
"This pill does not guide and cultivate the user's own 'Qi' in a gentle way."
"Instead, it uses a more direct and brutal method to completely squeeze and burn all the life potential in the user's body to the extreme in a short moment."
"Thus, within a ten-minute effective timeframe, they acquired this absolute, invincible power, comparable to that of gods and demons."
"No wonder it's a creation worth a billion."
"This is no longer the 'elixir' we know."
"This is... a complete commodification of 'miracles'."
He felt that his ancient understanding of "cultivation" and "realm" was being ruthlessly challenged by the simple, crude, and illogical "money power" in the celestial images.
...
The world of Ling Cage
"...one pill."
"It can allow an ordinary person, like Bald Qiang, who is completely powerless, to possess terrifying strength and speed that surpasses even heavy-duty mechs in a mere instant..."
"It might even be...it might even be more powerful than my full-force attack in 'Abyss Form'..."
Atop the lighthouse, Mark, the commander of the Hunters, gazed at the sky with an expression filled with utter awe and longing.
