Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 39 Alice and the Iron Shirt

Although Qiao Mu seldom intervened in the affairs of the supermarket, Su Min still did his duty.

When she went to work every day, she would check the goods, and today, she suddenly found that there were a lot less goods on the shelves, and then she saw a printed shipping order on the checkout counter.

"Did you do it at two o'clock in the middle of the night? What the hell are you doing!" Su Min said speechlessly.

……

Everything was going on in an orderly manner: Qiao Mu opened the time-space door every night, received the zombies thrown in by Alice, and turned them into time-space coins; Open with complaints.

Six days later, Alice's accumulated space-time coins reached [-], and she excitedly redeemed the "Iron Shirt".

then……

"I don't understand." Alice held the copy of the secret book that Lolita gave her, feeling her heart hurt.

"Analysis requires 1 space-time coin." Qiao Mu said philistinely.

"Ok."

Glancing at Qiao Mu sadly, Alice paid the space-time coins.

Lolita explained to Alice in detail.

The reason why learning the iron shirt requires a medicinal bath is because that kind of tempering method is too harmful to the body. With an ordinary person's physique, without supplementing with medicine, he will practice himself first before he can practice.

Alice is different. She is fused with the T virus, and her physique is far from human, so she is most suitable for this kind of horizontal kung fu.

For two consecutive days, Alice initially mastered the learning method of the iron cloth shirt.

"I feel like my physique has improved a lot," she said.

"Congratulations, maybe it won't be long before you can fully grasp it." Qiao Mu smiled.

"However," a look of desolation suddenly flashed across Alice's face, "I need to leave."

Qiao Mu was slightly taken aback.

During this period of time, the two chatted in their spare time. Although Qiao Mu restrained his emotions and did not have any ambiguous stories, he sincerely regarded this strong girl as a friend.

"I remember some things," said Alice, "some things I must do, and I will come back if there is time."

Qiao Mu looked at her solemnly, nodded and said, "Take care."

"Help me exchange some high-calorie food." Alice took out her backpack.

After the selection was completed, she put away the tavern VIP card with great care, and said to Qiao Mu, "I hope we will meet again one day."

"There will definitely be." Qiao Mu said.

After watching her leave, Qiao Mu sighed.

He could feel the reluctance and determination in Alice's words.

"She must have done something very dangerous, but I hope she's safe and well." Qiao Mu looked gloomy.

He paused for a while, and called out Lolita: "The strengthening potion must have no side effects, right?"

Lolita said: "You should trust the tavern!"

Qiao Mu narrowed his eyes.

After this period of recuperation, his body has regained some strength and his face has a red glow, but overall it is still in poor condition.

If a strengthening potion is used that can double a person's physique, then all the hidden wounds in his body will be eradicated.

Up to now, Alice has exchanged zombies worth 168 space-time coins, which is enough for the tavern to make an enhanced potion "T".

As for Qiao Mu's wealth, he has more than 1 space-time coins, enough to exchange for a potion.

"Exchange for strengthening potion 'T'." Qiao Mu said.

"Consumption of 10000 space-time coins. Congratulations to the owner on the successful exchange. Please inject it immediately."

A white light cluster appeared in front of Qiao Mu, among which was a needle tube with a light blue medicine inside, emitting fluorescent light.

Qiao Mu reached into the light cluster, took out the somewhat cold syringe, pointed it at his arm, inserted it into the vein, and injected it slowly.

Apart from a slight tingling, he didn't feel anything special.But as he took off the syringe, a warm feeling began to brew in his body, accompanied by a strange itching feeling, as if countless ants were biting inside his body.

"How could this happen?" Qiao Mu couldn't bear the itch. He stretched out his hands and scratched his body violently. Every time he scratched, there was a long blood mark.

These bloodstains recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As time passed, his body was as hot as if it was burning in a raging fire. As the flesh and blood rolled, the itching was gradually replaced by severe pain.

This change was only completed when Qiao Mu was sweating profusely and had almost no strength in his body.

His eyelids fluttered slightly, and he fell asleep on the table sleepily.

Tang Yuan ran over with big black eyes, sniffed the discarded syringe, with a very humane look of contempt on her face.

Lolita smiled and controlled the door of the tavern to close.

When Qiao Mu woke up, the gate of time and space had already been closed.

He felt full of strength, much stronger than when he was in his prime, as if he could kill a cow with one punch.

Accompanied by this feeling, Qiao Mu got up and went upstairs to wash up.

When he saw his red face in the mirror, he was startled.

Originally, his vitality was greatly damaged, and his whole body was skinny, but now his complexion is plump and healthier than before.

He unbuttoned it, revealing his bare upper body.

What surprised him was that the muscles on his body, which was already like ribs, were sharp and angular.

"This strengthening potion is too strong." Qiao Mu sighed.

"Master is exposing your ignorance again," Lolita appeared and said bluntly, "'T' is just the most basic strengthening potion, much stronger than it, please don't sit on the sky."

Qiao Mu curled his lips and shook his head. He reached out and grabbed the metal shower head, and with a little force, it deformed.

"Lolita, how is my physique?" Qiao Mu asked.

"If the physique of an ordinary adult is 1, the owner's original physique is 0.9, and now the physique is 2.8." Lolita said, "Twice the physique is just a general concept, and the final absorption effect is also different from the individual's initial physique. There is some relationship.”

Qiao Mu nodded slightly, not surprised.

……

There was a knock on the door, and Qiao Mu went downstairs to open the door.

As expected, it was Tang Wei who appeared outside the door, holding a pink insulated box in her hand.

"This is ginseng antler soup, for you..."

As soon as Tang Wei opened her mouth, her eyes changed suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost.

With a smirk at the corner of Qiao Mu's mouth, he took the insulated box with one hand, and at the same time took her catkin, and pulled it into the tavern.

"Why did you suddenly feel better after not seeing me all night?" Tang Wei's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.

Qiao Mu snapped his fingers, Tangyuan understood, rolled the bottle of juice and three cups onto the table with his tail.

Fortunately, Tang Wei had seen the peculiarity of this pet cat many times, and she was no stranger to it, and her concerned eyes were always on Qiao Mu.

The Tang family has been very effective in biomedicine, and has been secretly researching strengthening drugs that promote the evolution of human physique.

Tang Wei didn't know much about it, but she also understood that there is no strengthening medicine that is 100% free of side effects.And Qiao Mu's current state is very similar to the result of the injection of strengthening medicine that she heard from her father.

"The explosion of those negative effects is not something ordinary people can bear." Tang Wei was anxious.

"Don't worry," Qiao Mu vaguely guessed what she was thinking, and smiled, "Do you still remember my kung fu?"

As he said that, Qiao Mu took out a business card of the tavern from the table, flicked his fingers, and the business card flew out with a "swoosh" and sank into the opposite wall.

This is not Qiao Mu using Xiao Li's flying knife, but an illusion created by using the special manipulation of the tavern.

Tang Wei was slowly relieved.
