Chapter 113: A Scientist’s Disappointment and an Underground Offer
Han Yu returned to Li Mei’s lab just before sunset, the smell of medicinal smoke and singed eyebrows as comforting as ever. His body still ached from the intentional bush dive, but his coin pouch now jangled with twenty glorious gold coins.
He strolled in, whistling.
Li Mei looked up from a cauldron that was bubbling with suspiciously glittery fumes. "Oh good, you’re back. Ready for the next pill?"
Han Yu threw his cloak off with flair. "Not today, Doc. I’m off-duty and a bit tired."
"Off-duty? Did you hit your head again? You volunteered to be my lab rat." Li Mei blinked. "Besides, if you’re tired, I got plenty of pills that can fix that." She added.
"True. But today I made a fortune by doing something even more suicidal than testing your pills: I entered five combat rounds in the servant’s assessment."
She tilted her head. "You didn’t use the that strong skill of yours, what was it... Bolt God Fist, did you?"
Li Mei had looked into Han Yu’s history and had leanred how he had defeated people stronger than him. As such she had later inquired about how Han Yu had come into possession of such a skill and was surprised that he really got it from a beggar.
She was certainly surprised by it and even wished to experiment on the skill, but Han Yu simply had no manual for the skill. All he had learned was through oral and physical guidance from the beggar, thus Li Mei couldn’t do anything.
"Didn’t need to." Han Yu replied.
Her eyebrow twitched. "Wait... you actually won?" She looked at him from top to down.
