Chapter 9 That’s it?

"Woo..."

The roar of a powerful engine suddenly came from the bottom of the steep slope of the mountain road.

Vinina, who was originally in a state of "confusion", suddenly woke up with a start.

Without caring about anything else, she threw away the big stone in her hand, ran out of the woods quickly, and shouted to Meng Xingchen on the mountain road, "Meng Xingchen! There's a car..."

Just as she finished her words, an extended off-road vehicle rushed up the steep slope like a mad beast. When it rushed through a repaired raised road surface, all four wheels flew high off the ground and rushed straight towards the two people who were fighting beside the mountain road.

The road condition at Lingshan is very poor and plans to rebuild it were made several years ago, but due to disasters in recent years, the plan has come to a standstill.

At this moment, Meng Xingchen was facing the steep slope of the mountain road behind him. When he heard Vinina's shout, he immediately dodged to the side of the road guardrail without hesitation.

“Bang…Ouch…”

The extended off-road vehicle landed on the ground with four wheels, but it continued to rush forward without slowing down.

At this moment, Li Yao was forced to the side of the road guardrail by Meng Xingchen's heavy blow, and he barely avoided the speeding SUV.

“Woo… bang… ga…”

Another beast-like engine roared, rushing through the repair belt, with all four wheels flying up and landing quickly. Another coupe rushed up the steep slope, and when it saw someone on the mountain road, it suddenly stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel to the side.

With the harsh sound of brakes, the coupe almost turned over. A bald man stuck his big head out from the passenger seat of the coupe and cursed at Li Yao who was flipping over the guardrail and rolling into the ravine below. At the same time, he did not stop for a moment and chased after the extended SUV that had turned a corner in front.

"Whoosh..."

Meng Xingchen jumped up from the side of the road and quickly came to the place where Li Yao disappeared.

Below was the edge of a ravine, and among the dense thorns, Li Yao had already rolled a long way down.

"Meng Xingchen, are you, are you okay?" At this moment, the little golden man Vinina also crossed the mountain path, climbed over the guardrail, grabbed Meng Xingchen's arm with both hands, and asked breathlessly.

"..."Meng Xingchen instinctively moved aside to avoid Venina's hands.

He seemed not to be that familiar with this "poisonous scorpion" of later generations, his current boss.

Seeing Meng Xingchen dodging, the little golden man didn't care and took another step forward.

"It's okay." Meng Xingchen shook his head and looked down the ravine.

At the bottom of the ravine, Li Yao had already climbed up and stumbled into a dense forest in the ravine.

"He's not going to die?" Meng Xingchen was speechless.

If the two cars that seemed to be "one chasing and one fleeing" had not appeared before, he would have definitely beaten this "vulture" to death by now!

Thinking of this, Meng Xingchen couldn't help but concentrate his consciousness again and sense the center of his forehead.

"Killing God Pearl..."

"Possess the following martial arts skills: Basic Sanda (not yet entry-level), Jeet Kune Do (Grandmaster level)."

"Lifespan: 4 years."

The life span was originally 72 years, but 68 years were taken away, leaving only 4 years.

This made Meng Xingchen feel nervous.

He looked down at his hands, then touched his cheeks with them.

The joints and tendons of his hands are still strong and powerful, and his cheeks are still as smooth and firm as those of a young man.

He was so busy expressing his "heroic spirit" just now that he didn't realize that after 68 years of his life span were deducted, he should now be a 94-year-old, dying old man.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

"Meng Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" Vinina couldn't help but ask when she saw his expression.

"It's okay." Meng Xingchen turned to Venina and asked, "Where's your phone? Call the police again."

“That guy threw it to me…” Vinina pointed down the ravine.

At this moment, Li Yao had already disappeared without a trace in the dense forest below the ravine.

"There should be a cell phone in the van over there." Meng Xingchen thought for a moment and walked towards the van that Li Yao had crashed into the guardrail on the other side of the mountain road.

Behind him, Vinina hurried to catch up.

Sure enough, the cell phones of the security colleagues were still on the van.

I picked one up at random and made an emergency call.

After hearing his call to the police, the police took it very seriously and said they had already sent someone and would call again to inform them of the latest situation.

After finishing the call, Meng Xingchen sat down on the road guardrail near the van.

Unable to help, he concentrated his mental power again and sensed the killing god bead in his mind. The information about choosing to consume his lifespan to practice "Jie Kune Do" before had long disappeared, but Meng Xingchen still remembered it roughly.

His talent in martial arts really seems to be not that good.

During his 68 years of practice, he must have been very hard-working. Apart from eating, sleeping, and a few short years of confusion and relaxation, he basically spent all his time practicing boxing.

But under such circumstances, it still took him 68 years to practice Jeet Kune Do to the master level.

“Although it’s not good, it shouldn’t be too bad among ordinary people on Earth. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach the Grandmaster level in my lifetime.” Meng Xingchen comforted himself.

There aren't so many geniuses out there, so he's pretty good.

However, with the Killing God Pearl, even if one's talent is ordinary, as long as one works hard to kill enemies in the future, one may be able to achieve some spectacular success in this world of Devouring the Stars!

Thinking of this, Meng Xingchen couldn't help but smile.

The little golden man, who had been sitting not far from him, just stared at him with his blue eyes blinking, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Having just experienced a life-and-death crisis, the man is now daydreaming about a "bright future", while the woman acts as if nothing has happened and doesn't even ask what happened before.

They are also two weird ones.

……

Not long after, with sirens blaring, two police cars and a black sedan drove up the steep slope quickly and stopped on the side of the road not far from the two people.

The car doors opened quickly, and a white woman in her thirties wearing a black uniform walked out first from the black car at the back.

"*&……%%#%￥#" The white woman came to Vinina and said something in a hurried voice.

At this moment, the little golden man Vinina had already stood up and said something to the white woman with a serious face.

The white woman had an ugly look on her face, and the two white bodyguards of Vinina, a man and a woman, who followed her out of the black car and looked a little embarrassed, also looked ashamed.

On the other side, people got out of the two police cars. Some police officers were responsible for investigating the scene, while others came to ask Meng Xingchen about the situation.

Meng Xingchen basically told the truth, and he had nothing to hide.

After questioning, the police said that he needed to go to the police station again to cooperate in making a detailed record.

At this moment, Vinina had regained her "strong woman" appearance. After scolding the two bodyguards and the white woman who came, she walked towards the black car.

A police officer hurried over and said something to Vinina, who nodded.

Meng Xingchen was about to board one of the police cars with two police officers when Vinina, who was already sitting in the back seat of the black car, called out to him, "Meng Xingchen, come here."

Meng Xingchen looked at the two police officers beside him, and the two police officers nodded, indicating that he could pass.

Coming to the black car, Meng Xingchen asked Venina through the open window, "Boss, what's up?"

Although Vinina was said to be less than 19 years old, no one in the company dared to treat her as a little girl. The executives of the entire Bolenas branch were often scolded by her in public.

"Put your hand here," said Vinina.

Meng Xingchen was slightly puzzled, but still extended his right hand.

Vinina in the car quickly turned around and took out a delicate small bag.

"..."Meng Xingchen felt excited.

He had searched through the memories of his previous life, and finally found out that his previous life was a moonlighter and was now almost out of food. He had to wait for the company to pay his salary in a few days so that he could buy rice.

"How much will it be?" Meng Xingchen thought, "The eldest daughter of the Bolenas family, the current acting president of the Chinese region, won't be too stingy, right? Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand? Chinese currency? Or rice gold?"

As he was expecting, Vinina, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, opened the small bag and took out a pack of wet wipes.

Pulling out a wet towel and wiping her little hands, Vinina also raised her right hand in the car, looked at Meng Xingchen and said, "You are like me."

Meng Xingchen had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Following Vinina's example, he also raised his right hand slightly.

"Snapped!"

Vinina's small hand and his big hand collided palm to palm in the air.

"Happy cooperation!" After high-fiving Meng Xingchen, Vinina seemed very excited. Her face flushed as she quickly retracted her hand, clenched her fist, and whispered, "Yes!"

The car windows were closed, the car started, and drove towards the city.

"..."

Behind him, Meng Xingchen raised his hands, mouth slightly open, and stood there completely dumbfounded.
