Chapter 18 Cooperation
Kungunir sighed as if it had life. It was tired from the fight.

Zhang Baiqing exerted force and broke the Kungunir in his hand like an ordinary branch, threw it on the ground, and reached out to tear off the carbonized shell. The regrown flesh and blood had restored his body to its original state.

"Mortal, you should see the gods diligently!"

Odin came up to him and whispered.

"God? I'm fighting against God!"

Zhang Baiqing stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and a crack appeared in the ground, swallowing the eight-legged Pegasus.

Odin did not fall down. Zhang Baiqing clenched his fist and rushed towards his face with a swift step.

"You have offended the gods!"

Odin's body retreated again, but Zhang Baiqing's fist still touched the armor, causing a crack.

The two men flashed and fought each other. This time, Odin seemed to have been superimposed with a buff, and his terrifyingly powerful physique was like an ancient dragon descending to the world.

……

Lu Mingfei, who turned into a dragon man, interrupted a passage leading to an unknown place under the control of Lu Mingze.

There were circles of deadpool corpses all around, hundreds and thousands! Odin's army was defeated by Lu Mingze here, and even the passage to his real lair was interrupted.

The reinforcements were interrupted by him. Knowing that Zhang Baiqing was no longer in danger, Lu Mingze was not in a hurry and slowly breathed the air of freedom.

When he arrived at the battlefield, only the wounded Zhang Baiqing was lying on a relatively intact piece of road.

After being exhausted, even his body's repair speed was greatly affected.

The surrounding ground was full of scars, as if it had been plowed by a missile.

"You have really evolved."

Lu Mingze clapped his hands and applauded him.

"You really trust me and believe that I can break through my limits in a life-and-death battle?"

Zhang Baiqing turned his head to look at Lu Mingze, who looked more like a monster than Deadpool.

"You know what? Whether it's dragons, humans, or our bodies, they are all carbon-based organisms with DNA genes as the underlying structure." Lu Mingze did not respond to his question, but continued, "Humans have not yet been able to decipher the DNA code. When humans decipher it, they will find a large amount of data in it, and all organisms are a kind of "hard drive". The meaning of their existence is to store data as a hard drive. Because from hundreds of millions of years ago, if you want to preserve a piece of information for hundreds of millions of years or even longer, all matter will dissipate and be destroyed over time. Only organisms, as long as they do not become extinct, will continue to reproduce and exist forever."

He paused and said, "So, the underlying logic of DNA always takes survival as its first goal."

Zhang Baiqing seemed to understand something and blinked, "Are you saying that the earth was designed?"

Lu Mingze shook his head: "I didn't say that. This is just what I know at present. After all, in the vast universe, as long as there is a probability, it will become a certainty."

Zhang Baiqing nodded and asked again: "Are you Lu Mingze or Lu Mingfei?"

This monster seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Mingfei, but he felt familiar with it.

Lu Mingze raised his lips: "Like a dog, like a god."

Zhang Baiqing was somewhat puzzled: "The divine dog has two natures?"

Lu Mingze paused as he was about to raise his hands to the sky. "Good translation. Don't translate it again next time. I prefer to translate it as: 'One thought of gods and demons'."

"Now what?"

After Zhang Baiqing calmed down, he regained some strength and got up to look around.

The car was still parked far away and was not damaged, but the surrounding houses suffered a lot. Some were demolished, some collapsed, and there were no two good houses left nearby.

“These are all small matters.” Lu Mingze waved his hand nonchalantly, using his index finger and thumb to create a fingertip universe: “You are too conspicuous now, you have to make some small changes.”

"for example?"

"The essence of dragon blood is a controller that has a stronger body and controls the elements. It is the pinnacle creation that Nidhogg created after doing his best and studying countless gods. With this great invention, his dragon clan swept the world and created a prosperous dragon dynasty." Lu Mingze crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Baiqing: "The dragon is just a container, and the blood is the essence. The root of the blood is a stronger body and the power to control the elements."

"It's a bit confusing, but I still figured it out with great difficulty." Zhang Baiqing said: "The DNA of humans and dragons comes from the same source. As long as I have a stronger body and the power to control the elements, I will not be much different from a dragon."

"You could say that, just like the two operating systems of Microsoft and Apple, the essence underneath is binary. All you have to do is change the skin, and then you can become a dragon."

"So what should I do?"

Zhang Baiqing really doesn't want to be a light bulb to illuminate the dragon blood world, as that would attract too much attention.

"Sign this contract."

Lu Mingze took out an A4 paper with the "Cooperation Contract" written on it.

"If I sign this, I'm not selling my soul to you, am I?"

Zhang Baiqing was a little wary. In the fantasy world, it is common to sign contracts, but some contracts will turn you into a puppet of the other party. Lu Mingze was speechless: "This is just an ordinary piece of paper. Here are the conditions I listed. Have you read too many novels? If signing a piece of paper can bind you, how could Nidhogg's dragon dynasty experience two rebellions that led to the division of the dynasty?"

Zhang Baiqing thought so too, so he took the paper and looked at it. The conditions were quite normal, and the two of them would be in a cooperative relationship in the future...

After reading the contract, he frowned and said, "This contract... would have been hung on the street lamp if it was released before."

It was called cooperation, but it was all just cooperation with Lu Mingze. Lu Mingze was just helping him to add the illusion of dragon blood.

"Then what do you need? Money? You have it. Strength? You have it too. Beauty? Is it difficult for you to want it?" Lu Mingze said, "You can ask for conditions when you need them."

"It sounds like empty talk. Can you do it if I propose it?"

Zhang Baiqing smelled a familiar scent.

"What you can do."

"That's a pleasure to work with."

The two shook hands.

Fortunately, Lu Mingze is not the Holy Lord, otherwise Zhang Baiqing would not dare to cooperate with him.

……

the next day.

"Name: Zhang Baiqing

Qi and blood: 20
Skills: Swift steps, Bajiquan, Taijiquan, proficient in Chinese, proficient in mathematics...proficient in English. "

When Zhang Baiqing saw the system panel, his physical fitness changed to Qi and blood, and he understood where his body had evolved.

Before, I only felt that my body was strong, but now I can feel where the strength is very clearly.

That power should be what the system calls "qi and blood".

"So after the body's strength reaches its limit, it can then be refined into energy?"

He scratched his head. Neither Lu Mingze nor Xia Mi mentioned this aspect. They only talked about physical strength and the element of words.

He tried a set of Baji and Tai Chi and found that he was in excellent condition. The power flowing in his body could be controlled, which brought Baji and Tai Chi to a new level.

If Odin hadn't had a breakthrough last night and figured out how to use this power, he probably wouldn't have been unable to defeat him and escaped, but would have been chased and beaten by him!
……

At school, Lu Mingfei quietly approached Zhang Baiqing and asked, "Boss, are you okay?"

"What can I do? I'm so strong, do you want to work out with me in the future?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I'm glad you're okay, Boss."

……

At night, Lu Mingfei sat alone on the rooftop looking at the moon. Last night the sky was covered with dark clouds, but tonight the moon was bright in the sky.

"Why? Brother, do you regret it?"

The little devil walked out from the side and asked.

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Looking at his absent-minded brother, Lu Mingze couldn't help but kick him twice: "Regret can't bring back your 1/4 of your life, brother."

"Who said I regretted it! Stay away from me, I want some quiet time." Lu Mingfei was kicked and felt a little annoyed, so he pushed the little devil aside.

Lu Mingze continued, "What's there to worry about? It's just that you've lost a quarter of your life. Brother, you still have three quarters of your life."

"Or do you regret that you should have spent a quarter of your life in a blaze of glory instead of living in obscurity?"

Seeing that Lu Mingfei ignored him, Lu Mingze asked again: "What are your goals in life?"

"It really does."

"tell me the story."

“Blast a big hole in the Himalayas, and then the warm sea breeze from the Indian Ocean will cross the roof of the world, turning the thousands of miles of glaciers in our motherland into fertile fields where people can live and work in peace and contentment, and realize the real Shangri-La!”

"How is that possible?" Lu Mingze pouted and said, "This is a line from Ge You in See You Tomorrow. Warm air at such a high altitude can't rise to that place. What are you talking about?"

"You know it's nonsense, but you still say so much."
