In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 56

There are two ideas about Marian Sue, the handmaid of Bacchus.

First: Illusion is definitely her natural enemy. As long as she believes that the one who killed her was the god of wine she served, she will be truly killed.

Second: The existence of the Handmaid of Dionysus is somewhat like becoming a god through faith, and somewhat similar to the pantheon in American pantheons, but there are also differences, because she relies on her own faith in Dionysus, while the gods in American pantheons rely on human belief or faith in them.

"What exactly do you want!" Sam Marott, who had already laid his cards on the table, couldn't help but speak again when Sue still didn't respond.

"Investing in the bar? How many times do I have to say it?" Sue looked at Sam Marott. "The money is yours. Whether the investment agreement is signed or not is irrelevant. I just want the status of the bar owner. By the way, what time does Sue Stackhouse start work?"

"You came for Suki?!" Sam Marott's face darkened again.

Suki Stackhouse works at his bar, and he... has had a crush on her for a long time.

Chapter 103 The Chakra Fished Out

Many people in Liangchen Town know about Su Qi's special ability: she can read minds and know what others are thinking. No matter what the secret is, whether it's a dirty or lewd thought, nothing can hide from her.

So—Su Qi is a weirdo!

Although few people would say this to your face, almost everyone thinks the same thing, especially when Su Qi hears what they're thinking.

Although no one was deliberately targeting Suki, Suki's situation in the small town was still not good. She had almost no friends and worked at Sam Marott's bar after graduating from high school. As for love?

Haha, even the most loyal guys wouldn't dare date Su Qi, since being together with no secrets would be very stressful.

Sam Marott has had a crush on Suki for a long time, and Suki probably knows it too, but Sam Marott has never confessed, so Suki has pretended not to know.

Do you know why Sam Malott turned into a dog named Dean? It was so he could get close to Suki and protect her. After all, dogs are man's best friend, and most of the time no one is wary of dogs or other animals.

Sam Marott was deeply in love with Suki, but unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. Suki only saw him as her boss, and Sam Marott ended up with Suki's best friend and others by a twist of fate.

Sam Marott, of course, is unaware of his fate, so when he discovers that the mysterious person in front of him who knows his identity may actually be after Suki, the old man who secretly loves Suki naturally steps forward to help.

Sam Marott, who had already decided to concede defeat, quietly approached Sue's, secretly aimed the beer bottle in his hand, and suddenly smashed it.

"boom!"

The bottle slammed precisely onto the bar, and shards of glass flew into Sam Marott's face.

Clearly, he missed.

Having grown accustomed to this teasing style of sudden disappearances and reappearances, Sam Marott immediately turned to look for Sue. But the instant he turned, a red light appeared in the corner of his eye, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.

Something pierced through his chest!

The sudden, excruciating pain contorted Sam Marott's face, his features contorted, and his body stiffened as if he had lost the ability to move.

A certain power within me is rapidly disappearing. Am I... going to die?

Sam Marott lowered his head helplessly and saw a thin red light. One end of the red light was inside his body, and the other end was connected to a rod that was also filled with red light. This rod looked like a fishing rod used for fishing.

fishing rod?

Red-light fishing rod?

Sam Marott followed the hand holding the fishing rod to Su Shi. Wasn't he just teasing him by flashing back and forth? Why did he suddenly attack him so viciously, and with such a strange weapon at that? And... why wasn't the expression on his face ferocious or sinister, but curious?

"Whoosh!"

Su raised his arm and reeled in the line, pulling the red hook from Sam Marott's chest, along with a small ball of light green light.

"Success..." Looking at the ball of light hanging on the fishing hook, Su grinned and laughed back in a somewhat childish manner.

The fact that the red-light fishing rod could fish out a ball of light from Sam Marott's body proves that his speculation was correct. The energy of supernatural beings can be identified as the same energy as chakra, at most just with different attributes.

In other words, as long as you master the method of making chakra pills, you can use the red-light fishing rod to fish for the chakra of all kinds of supernatural creatures.

But that's not all.

The supernatural beings in this world are countless and endless. Even if the quality of the chakra pills is affected, they can still possess immortality and supernatural powers to a very small extent, right? Even if the quantity is small and the effect is poor, it should be possible to increase lifespan and enhance strength, right?

I can eat this myself, and I guess I can also give it to ninjas recognized by the system? The faster the ninja levels up, the more rebates I'll receive.

Even if it's not for the rebate, at least your friends or lovers won't have to worry about life, old age, sickness, and death decades from now, right?

After all, he must be immortal!

"Can you become Dean?" Su asked with a smile, carrying the red-glowing fishing rod.

Sam Marott thought he was going to die, but to his astonishment, he found that there was no wound where he had been pierced, and apart from being a little weak and dislodged, he seemed to be unharmed.

"You..." Sam Marott was about to ask what was going on when he heard Sue's interested voice.

Then, Sam Marott chickened out.

If the other party could kill me as easily as crushing an ant, would I really be courting death?

Sam Marott nodded, preparing to transform, and then... nothing happened. Sam Marott's face turned red, but his body didn't change at all, as if he could never transform?

and many more!

Sam Marott's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Sue: "You...you took my power?! I can't shapeshift anymore, I...I've become human?"

"Were your transformations unrestrained and endless before? If you maintain a transformed state for a long time or transform continuously, is there a possibility that you might overuse your abilities and become unable to transform in the short term?"

Compared to Sam Marott's excitement, Su was much calmer.

The red fishing rod can fish out the opponent's chakra, but it cannot fish out the opponent's bloodline (bloodline limit). Therefore, Sam Marott should not be able to completely transform from a shapeshifter into a human. At most, his chakra will be exhausted and he will need time to recover.

"boom!"

Seeing that Sam Marott had calmed down after being questioned, Su took out a scroll and sealed his chakra energy.

　"Let's try to pull out the red glow fish basket that matches the red glow fishing rod later. That's the most suitable ninja tool for storing chakra." After sealing the chakra energy, Su muttered and looked at the somewhat bewildered Sam Marott: "From now on, I'm one of the owners of this bar. Do you have any objections?"

I said yes, but will it work?

Sam Marott remained indifferent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do to Suki? Do you know anything about Suki?"

"I know."

"What's with her mind-reading ability? I heard Suki say that her physical examination results from childhood to adulthood were just like those of an ordinary human. How come she can know what other people are thinking? Why can't her brother Jason?" Sam Malott asked curiously.

……

P.S.: I went to pay my heating bill today, around 1 PM, and waited in line for over two hours. I'm speechless.

Chapter 104 Su Qi, the Girl with Gap Teeth

Why is Su Qi capable, but her brother Jason isn't?

Haha, Suki is the female lead, and Jason is just a supporting male character. How can they be treated the same?

Besides, who told you Jason has no abilities?

Although he cannot read minds, he possesses a superpower that every man dreams of: a hidden charm.

The explicit scenes in the TV series True Blood are mostly related to him. He has flirted with countless girls, and he is also athletically challenged. He was a star player on the football team in school and was arguably the most popular boy in town.

Although he's a bit foolish, has done many absurd things that are both laughable and pathetic, and doesn't even have a proper job or much money, his charm remains undiminished. This is Jason's ability as a half-elf, although this ability may not necessarily be recognized.

Sue silently complained, and was just about to answer Sam Marott's question when the bar door was pushed open.

A girl wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts, and a blonde ponytail walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw shards of a broken bottle on the floor, a visibly nervous Sam Malott, and an unfamiliar boy.

The boy was very tall and wore expensive-looking clothes, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

At least, Su Qi thought it was noble.

"What happened?" Suki asked Sam Marott tentatively.

Sam Marott shook his head, somewhat awkwardly saying, "He'll be the owner here too, his name is..."

"The Su family."

Su smiled and silently greeted Su Qi in her heart: "Hi!"

"Hi!" Although Su Qi was a little puzzled, she still smiled and raised her hand to greet Su Qi: "I am Su Qi, Su Qi Stackhouse."

Su realized she was being a bit foolish. What was the point of greeting someone in her mind? Regardless of whether Su Qi could hear her thoughts, she would normally greet her anyway.

"Could I have been infected by Jason? I can be infected before I even meet him, how terrifying!" Su thought to herself, while keeping an eye on Su Qi's reaction.

Su Qi felt a little awkward looking at her new boss who was staring at her without responding. She subconsciously wanted to hear what he was thinking. After all, she didn't know anything about her new boss. What if he was dissatisfied with her and wanted to fire her?

Nothing...nothing at all...Su Qi didn't hear any sound. It felt as if the other party was a vast, silent universe, utterly still.

This made Su Qi's expression instantly turn strange. She stared at Su Shi somewhat abruptly and listened intently again, but still heard nothing.

Her premonition grew stronger, and the surging emotions intensified. Her eyes shone as if she had witnessed a miracle, and her lips involuntarily parted to reveal her most radiant smile. Then…

Can you shut up?

Su suddenly spoke.

In an instant, all of Su Qi's excitement vanished. She subconsciously closed her mouth, which she had just opened, and her bright smile turned into embarrassment before it could even bloom.

"Um, I..." Su Qi didn't expect her new boss to be so direct, and for a moment she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond.

Sam Marott quickly came to her rescue, telling her to clean up the broken bottle fragments on the ground first.

Watching Su Qi leave with a sheepish grin, Sam Marott couldn't help but turn and glare at her: "What do you mean?"

“You have no chance.” Su Shi directly exposed his wounds.

Sam Marott knew perfectly well that he had no chance. It was precisely because he knew this that he had never formally confessed his feelings to Suki. Otherwise, it would have been so awkward to see her in the future. It would have been better to be like this now, at least they could get along like friends.

It has to be said that most unrequited lovers who lack self-confidence have this kind of mentality.

While cleaning, Su Qi would steal glances at Su Shi every now and then. Although she was a little embarrassed when she was told to shut up, it was the first time she had encountered someone who couldn't read her mind, and she really wanted to figure out why.

“See? You’re nothing special to her.” Sue nudged Sam Marott, who was already 34 years old. “The only chance you have to be with her is when she gets dumped, and you comfort her as a backup, and then… once she meets someone she likes or moves on, your backup life will probably be over.”

"You have feelings for her?" Sam Marott asked nervously.

Su pursed her lips: "Don't you think her gaps between her teeth are too big? She's just an ordinary small-town girl, but with a little dressing up, she can be quite attractive. If she cooperates with my research, do you think I should pay for her to get her teeth fixed? After all, dental work is quite expensive, and she probably doesn't have that much money."

Putting personality aside, Su Qi's teeth are really ugly. Her front teeth are big and the gaps between them are wide. When she doesn't smile, it's okay, but when she smiles, it's really... making people want to tell her to shut up.

Su remembered that when he watched X-Men before, Rogue's appearance was alright. He didn't know why he looked so unbearable to look at now. That gap between his teeth was really... making him uncomfortable to look at.
