I Have A Game Clone

Chapter 271 - 271 Freedom or Death (3)

271 Freedom or Death (3)

A trace of recollection flashed across Tong Baiming’s eyes. He said without hesitation, “When I was 17 years old, I followed my father to New Star City to participate in the 5331st Traditional Fighters Conference.

“At the conference, I witnessed Master Li’s style of slashing heroes with his knife!

“It was a pity that I was still a fledgling at that time and my strength was not enough. I wished I could have made friends with Master Li.”

“That traditional fighters competition had a huge impact on me. It was the first time I saw the potential of the human body. After returning to Yuan City, I began to try to combine the development of the human body’s potential with the modification of mechanical limbs.

“I still have some talent. After exploring for more than ten years, I finally have some achievements.”

Ning Shi knew about Tong Baiming’s so-called achievements.

Tong Baiming’s human body transformation was completely different from Yuan City’s traditional transformation route.

Most of the modified humans that Ning Shi saw in Yuan City had directly abandoned human body parts and replaced them with mechanical limbs.

Then, they would use hot weapons or the mechanical kinetic energy of the mechanical limbs to increase their strength.

Tong Baiming’s human body modification did not completely abandon certain parts of the human body. Instead, he fused the human body parts with helium energy or machinery to produce stronger organs and limbs, thus developing the potential of the human body.

For example, Tong Qingqing’s Helium Heart was a combination of helium ore and her original heart.

Another example was the driver of the flying car who had just picked Ning Shi up. Ning Shi used the Eye of Truth to investigate his information.

His appearance was exactly the same as an ordinary person, but his bones were fused with special alloy material, and his Physique had reached 26 points.

As for what kind of transformation method Tong Baiming had used on himself, Ning Shi was not sure. His Spiritual Power was not enough, and the Eye of Truth could not see much information about Tong Baiming.

Speaking of his own achievements, Tong Baiming’s face showed a trace of pride, but then it disappeared. He continued, “Thirteen years ago after I witnessed Master Li’s strength, I’ve been collecting information about the training methods and skills of traditional fighters.

“I know that the core skill of the butcher profession is the biochemical technique. This is a very magical ability. In addition to being able to identify the characteristics of living creatures and find their weaknesses, you can also extract a kind of meat essence that can strengthen the human body when you decompose the corpse of a living creature.”

Tong Baiming finally got to the point. His eyes suddenly became sharp as he stared at Ning Shi and asked slowly.

“I need meat essence. I wonder if Mr. Ning Shi can part with it?”

The meat essence could strengthen one’s physique. Ning Shi naturally did not want to trade it, but he did not say it with certainty. Instead, he asked another question.

“I don’t want to hide it from you. I can collect the meat essence. But I’m curious, what do you want the meat essence for?”

The meat essence could strengthen one’s constitution, but for Tong Baiming, whose constitution had already reached 41 points, the increase of a Level 1 or Level 2 meat essence was almost negligible.

If Tong Baiming wanted to strengthen his physique, he could start with the modification of the human body. This way, the efficiency would be higher, and there was no need for him to consume the meat essence.

Ning Shi knew this, so he was very curious as to why Tong Baiming wanted the meat essence.

Tong Baiming frowned slightly. He finally realized that Ning Shi had been controlling the direction of his conversation with Ning Shi.

It was always Ning Shi who asked questions, and he answered passively.

This was not what he had expected.

Ever since Tong Baiming was 25 years old, his father had died in battle in the wilderness. After he killed his elder brother and took the position of the family head, he had always been a man of his word within the family and even in Yuan City. He had gradually developed a domineering personality.

In Tong Baiming’s original plan, Ning Shi was just an 18-year-old hotheaded youth. If he put on a show of intimidation, Ning Shi would throw away his helmet and armor.

He controlled the pace of the conversation.

But now, it was the complete opposite.

Tong Baiming deliberately did not answer Ning Shi’s question, wanting to regain the initiative in the conversation.

“You don’t have to know my purpose,” he said. “You just have to sell me the meat essence.”

When Ning Shi heard this, he spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture. He said, “Oh, that’s too bad. I’ve eaten all the meat essence I collected previously.

“Mr. Tong, since you’re familiar with the butcher profession, you should know that butchers have the desire to strengthen their physiques. I have obtained the meat essence and consumed it on the spot.”

Although Ning Shi had lied, he still had the meat essence in his backpack in case he was injured and could use it to recover, but he was not lying.

Butcher would indeed eat the meat essence on the spot.

The other butchers didn’t have a game system like Ning Shi’s to assist them. It wasn’t easy to dissect a corpse. Moreover, the utilization rate of biochemical techniques wasn’t that high, and the drop rate of meat essence was also very low.

When one encountered meat essence, one would eat it directly.

Only Ning Shi, with the help of the system, had a 100% chance of collecting the meat essence every time the biochemical technique was fully utilized. He even had the ability to cast multiple spells, so he had stock.

Seeing that Ning Shi was unmoved, Tong Baiming pushed up his glasses and said coldly, “Young man, don’t be too confident. I can imprison you now and implant a remote-controlled bomb in your heart.

“When the time comes, your life and death will be in my hands. The feeling of losing your freedom won’t be good. You have to think it over carefully!”

As Tong Baiming finished speaking, he did not conceal his aura at all. A powerful spiritual force field enveloped Ning Shi.

Ning Shi’s breathing stopped and his face turned pale, but his aura was not weakened at all.

He looked at Tong Baiming with a firm gaze and said fearlessly, “You can arrest me and see. So what if you were to install a remote-controlled bomb in my heart? Would I accept your coercion and help you collect the meat essence?

“It is impossible!

“If I don’t have freedom, I’d rather die!”

Ning Shi was already prepared. As long as Tong Baiming made a move, he would add all 12 potential points to his physique and start a fight with him.

Although he said the most ruthless words, he was mentally prepared.

Because he had confidence in his heart, Ning Shi’s words were impassioned and full of blood.

Tong Qingqing, who was sitting beside him, heard this and her eyes lit up!

It was as if she had found the creed of life!

Even Tong Baiming was shocked by Ning Shi’s imposing manner.

He really needed the meat essence, but he could not find a suitable butcher.

He had once tried to get in touch with Old Li, but he realized that Old Li was focused on killing chickens and rabbits in Sword Shield City. He did not go out adventuring at all, nor was he interested in making a deal with him.

...

Now that he had finally met Ning Shi, if Ning Shi did not cooperate and would rather die than be threatened, then Tong Baiming would really be helpless.

Tong Baiming had no choice but to put away his aggressive aura and sighed, “Good! Good! Good! As expected of Master Li’s disciple, you have the strength of character of a traditional fighter!

“I admire people with a backbone like you the most.”

After finding a way out for himself, Tong Baiming knew that he could no longer control Ning Shi today, so he gave up on controlling the conversation.

He changed the topic and finally began to answer Ning Shi’s question, explaining why he needed the meat essence.
