Cyber Ghosts Chapter 132 Everyone Has Their Implicit Needs

"Who?" Liu Shuai had poor eyesight and for quite a while, he couldn't see it clearly even with gla.s.ses on.

"Huh?" Hao Ning immediately understood why Liu Shuai couldn't see it clearly. Although it was a bidirectional four-lane road without many roadblocks, it was still wide enough to prevent people on this side from hearing from people on the other side of the road. Moreover, there were only several pa.s.sers-by, making it hard for Liu Shuai to notice Zhe and Ye. Had it not for his recent improvement of hearing, he himself wouldn't have noticed them.

"Seems like my eyes are deceiving me. I knew they couldn't possibly be here－" From across the road, a voice came through, which should be Ye's. Hao Ning didn't realize that as long as he wanted to, he could hear a voice clearly from so far away. "We might as well just go. How could it be possible that the esteemed Dragon G.o.d appeared across the road?"

"Alright. Just as you said." There was sheer tenderness in the way Zhe spoke to Ye.

"Hey! Don't go!" Hao Ning shouted at once but his voice was so low that they couldn't hear it at all.

Seeing that they already got in the car and closed the door, Hao Ning thought that he must catch them. Otherwise, Liu Shuai, the Loser, would easily get away by treating them to the Mcdonald's. Hao Ning got really anxious and said to the others immediately, "I'll go first and you guys hurry up from the overpa.s.s over there. We are having a big dinner tonight. Liu Shuai, you don't need to treat us!"

He then winked to Zhou Yuan, "I might cause a sensation if I go now. Help me with what I'm going to do and cover me up with your fake talent."

"What's the matter? What talent do you mean?" Zhou Yuan was a bit confused about what Hao Ning just said, "Why will you cause a big sensation?"

Zhou Yuan hardly reacted to it when Hao Ning tapped on the short flower cl.u.s.ter before him with his left foot and within seconds he was high up in the air. It was just in the blink of an eye that he flew up to the treetop. With so many towering trees standing on both sides of the roads of S City where the climate was rather delightful, it was indeed a solid proof to the marvelous knack of Hao Ning's flying to the treetop powered by only a light tapping. After reaching the treetop, Hao Ning, with the power of tapping back on the branch, immediately flew across the road and went directly under the overpa.s.s! The seemingly powerless tapping actually entailed the force of softness. After Hao Ning flew away, the countering force made the whole tree shake violently, dispiriting the others with tens of the leaves as well as the dust on the tree falling down on Liu Shuai and the others.

"Qinggong!" Liu Shuai stared enviously, wiped the dust and leaves off his face and head, and said, "Is this the Qinggong of Iron Palm Water Drift? How extravagant Hao Ning is! Must he make such a fuss just to cross a road?!"

"Oh My G.o.d! What a fool!" Zhou Yuan saw the big tree swinging and immediately pointed his hand upwards so that the falling dust couldn't get near. Seeing that Hao Ning was already up in the sky drove him crazy. No wonder Hao Ning told him that he could help with the fake talent. This was to cover him up with the use of virtualised reality!

As soon as Zhou Yuan realized all this, he let out a deep breath in his hands and threw it forward. All of a sudden, there appeared a virtualized wall on the left and right sides of Hao Ning, outside of which pa.s.sers-by could not see Hao Ning flying at all. Wiping his sweat away. Zhou Yuan realized that Hao Ning was testing his capacity for comprehension and cooperation. He would so much have wanted to blame Hao Ning for being such a fool to show his Qinggong here, giving other people the opportunity to capture and study him. However, on second thought, Zhou's magic power was also bestowed by Hao Ning, so really he had nothing to complain about. He somewhat read a little bit Jin Yong's novels, so he corrected Liu Shuai, "It is not Iron Palm Water Drift. The internal strength he is currently using should be that of the Divine Power of the North. And his movements, all so easy and unrestrained, should be the Qinggong of Tian Shan Tong Lao of the Happy School. Although it was not named yet, it was very powerful in that with a lift of Qi: you can fly hundreds of miles away carrying someone on your back."

The others ran over from the overpa.s.s, gasping for breath. They could actually have arrived much earlier with two G.o.ds among them. However, neither did Zhou Yuan want to circle escape all, nor did Liu Shuai allow Long Fei to take him through the sewer by Water Release. Therefore, everyone chose to run over here, through the least efficient and yet the least harmless way to anyone. At the same time, Hao Ning, looking embarra.s.sed, was shaking hands with Zhe, flattering and bootlicking. Zhe seemed to be asking favors of Hao Ning. The domineering Zhe when they first met at the restaurant was nowhere to be found.

In fact, when Hao Ning flew past with Qinggong, Zhe's eyes were fixed on him, because Zhou Yuan's two virtualized walls set up for Hao Ning just wrapped his car in. Therefore Zhe and Ye saw it clearly that Hao Ning, easy and unstrained, flew over from the opposite side of the road and rushed directly to his car. The whole movement was like a b.u.t.terfly dancing among flowers. Besides, Hao Ning was indeed brave and unrestrained enough to practice Qinggong so rashly that he couldn't help being in a flurry when landing on Zhe's car hood. Thanks to the borrowed Qinggong from Tian Shan Tong Lao, the car didn't dent at all even with the burden of Hao Ning's weight, as if a leaf fell on it. There were just stains of footprints on the white car.

For all the martial arts he learned, Zhe surely could tell good from the bad. When he saw that Hao Ning was standing on his car like a G.o.d, he almost went down to his knees to wors.h.i.+p him. He was way much more powerful than his own Sanda teacher! Who said there didn't exist Qinggong in this world? Wasn't it just before me? It was more than just Qinggong! The car didn't even move after his landing. His power was just unfathomable! Zhe couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He remembered it clearly that a few days ago he went as far as to battle with the master, although at that time his soul wasn't with the flesh. How daredevil! After wiping the sweat on his forehead, he quickly opened the door and looked up at Hao Ning in the car. He gasped with excitement and wondered how to pay respect to him to make him his teacher to learn this skill.

The moment Hao Ning landed on the car, he immediately regretted it. Seeing the logo he knew it was a limited edition of Porsche. Although he didn't know how much it was, it would not be cheaper than Zhang Chi Hang's Maserati. Originally, Hao Ning only had little selfish motives as did other ordinary citizens. He just wanted to make Zhe treat them to something nice. Otherwise, they had no choice but to have Liu Shuai's Mcdonald's. However, tramping on his car already made him panting in anger. They could only expect not to be driven away, let alone get treated. Just forget about it!

However, what Hao Ning didn't know was that Zhe didn't mind at all. It was understandable that they couldn't read each other's mind. They only met once and fought once.

As Hao Ning was pondering in a daze, Zhe rushed forward in excitement and grabbed Hao Ning's legs. Hao Ning was so taken aback that he tapped with his tiptoe, drifted high up to the sky and again landed lightly in the front of the Porsche. Settling down, Hao Ning looked for napkins around him in a flurry. As he was wiping his footprints on the hood, he said in embarra.s.sment, "Zhe, I'm so sorry. This car is pretty expensive, right?"

"Cloud Ladder! Cloud Ladder of Wudang!" Zhe's focus was all the way with the movements of Hao Ning. How could he even notice the footprints on his car? Even if he noticed it, he would be dying to mount the footprints. These were the footprints of a Qinggong master! Thinking of it, he almost started to drool. He was a martial arts lover and recently he got into trouble. He was just thinking about how to learn such powerful kungfu from the man before him. Hao Ning was talking about his car and he knew at once, which actually was a misunderstanding. He went up at once and gave the car key to Hao Ning, "Brother, oh, no, Master. Don't mention it. If you like the car, it is yours!"

As Zhe was talking, Liu Shuai, Long Fei, and the others rushed here and witnessed all this. At this time, Zhe was asking favors of Hao Ning. He was even more flattering than Long Fei, probably just more graceful. Liu Shuai wondered how came Hao Ning was so lucky today. Early in the morning, he walked out of the interview room, cl.u.s.tered around by a crowd of girls and even accompanied to his seat with love and tenderness in their eyes. －It was proof of Liu's poor eyesight. The way the girls looked at Hao Ning was how they looked at the heroes in BL dramas－The girls' attention was fully on Hao Ning that Zhou Yuan was ignored. Moreover, Long Fei, notorious for his stinginess, even asked Hao Ning out for dinner, though the beef was rather tasteless. Then the most exaggerating was that Zhe would like to give his car to Hao Ning!

Was there any justice in this world? Liu Shuai cried in his heart. However, thinking of borrowing Hao Ning's Porsche to take Wen for a drive, He felt happy again. Hao Ning's hands were held firmly by Zhe, suffering great pains. Zhe had a strong grip. He held Hao Ning's hands firmly in excitement with his car key in his hands, making the handholding terribly uncomfortable. Zhe practiced martial arts for a long time and worked out regularly at the gym, as a result of which he had callused hands. He couldn't feel anything uncomfortable. However, Hao Ning learned Kungfu by skills. He could never beat Zhe by strength. But in real combat, Zhe absolutely had no chance to win. For example, Zhe could break a big bough by the sole use of his strength, which Hao Ning could not. But Hao Ning could catalyze Wuxiang-zhi or the intangible Qi of six-pulse Excalibur by an unseen power to cut the tree across in the middle, which Zhe was not able to do. That was the difference.

"Hey, hey, let's solve it in words," Hao Ning said to Zhe with smiles, "not in fists."

"I didn't mean to." Zhe responded seriously, "I didn't even move my hands while holding yours, did I?"

"Um, then please do it..." Hao Ning realized the mistake in his own words and went straight to it, "Let go of my hands. Say it."

Just as expected, Zhe let go of Hao Ning's hands, sn.i.g.g.e.ring in embarra.s.sment. It worked much better to just go straightforward than beat bushes. However, although Zhe let go of his hands, the car key was still in Hao Ning's hands. Zhe wouldn't take it back for whatever reasons but stuck it in Hao Ning's hands. Cupping his fist on the other hand, Zhe said, "Brother! My car is your car! Just take it! Whenever you get bored with it, I'll get a new one for you!"

"What the heck! He is a lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Liu Shuai and Long Fei exchanged glances. Long Fei was too poor to have seen such a scene. Drooling over the car, he asked Liu Shuai in a whisper, "Man, how many Sea Lanterns can we buy with this car?"

"Sea Lanterns?" Liu Shuai fumed with rage, "Is there nothing left in your brain apart from incense and power?"

"None." So straightforward and sincerely did Long Fei respond that Liu Shuai was left speechless.

Hao Ning listened to every bit of the conversation carefully and decided not to tease Long Fei in front of so many people. It was obvious that Zhe wanted to learn the kungfu Hao Ning just showed but felt ashamed of asking directly. Therefore he bribed Hao Ning with the car so that Hao Ning had no choice but to teach him something fancy. It was just that no one else could master it. Otherwise, he would have taught Liu Shuai already. He could only return the key first, handing over the key immediately.

To his surprise, Zhe, tall and stalwart, wasn't as stupid as his physique suggested. Aware of Hao Ning's intention of handing the key back, Zhe turned his attention to Hao's friends. Their dressing and Liu Shuai's look were clear to Zhe that they were actually quite looking forward to his car. Blocking Hao Ning, he decided to get more acquainted with the others, among whom he only knew Liu Shuai and Long Fei and the other guy of whom he only had a vague impression. He went up and said, "Mr. Dragon G.o.d, and you must also be a mighty G.o.d yourself－"

"Me?" Liu Shuai pointed to himself and realized that Zhe and Ye once saw him emitting the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars driven by the Wuxiang Incense borrowed from Hao Ning. Although he didn't possess any power, for the time being, it would be better just to make the best of this misunderstanding. He then put on an act with his hands at the back, asking, "Eh, what is all this for?"

Who would have thought that Zhe didn't care about Liu Shuai at all? Zhe was not to blame for it because he thought it was Long Fei, the Dragon G.o.d, who helped him. He only promised Long Fei to regild his figure and attract more wors.h.i.+ppers. He didn't promise Liu Shuai anything. So Zhe turned to Long Fei naturally, "Mr. Dragon G.o.d, we are just planning to visit Dragon Temple to fulfill our promises to you and explain the situation in a day or two and here you are. You are indeed a Great G.o.d of Prophecy!"

"Fulfill promises to me? Well, don't do that. I'm with Liu Shuai and the others these days－" Long Fei scarcely told him without hesitation that he was doing research and development in Liu Shuai's company when Liu Shuai put his arms around Long Fei's shoulder. Liu Shuai explained for Long Fei with great enthusiasm, "Mr. Dragon G.o.d has just come down to the secular world to experience and observe the hards.h.i.+ps of the people. We live like drifting clouds and wild storks, normally hard to meet each other. It's been just a few days since we gathered. What a coincidence!"

There was nothing wrong with Liu Shuai's nonsense. Long Fei "coincidently" entered the company only several days ago, prior to which he had been with two G.o.ds, Zhang Quan and Avalokitesvara all along. Now he indeed arrived in the secular world. Therefore, Long Fei didn't refute. Only the image packaging was somewhat weird to him. He talked to Liu Shuai on the quiet, "You got to pay me for my job of experiencing and observing the hards.h.i.+ps of the people."

"I know. You'll die of being so greedy!" Liu Shuai smiled to Zhe and said with a lowered voice, "What do you want the money for since you can't even buy Sea Lanterns for yourself?"

"Great!" Zhe clapped and immediately held Ye's hands, "We haven't yet thanked Mr. Dragon G.o.d for the previous favor and now we met. May I have the name of this master?" said Zhe, bowing to Hao Ning.

"I'm much obliged. I'm Hao Ning." The greeting was in such a solemn manner that Hao Ning didn't know how to return it at the moment.

"Nice to meet Master Hao Ning again," said Zhe with a smile, "I suppose you haven't dined yet? Why don't we go and have something to eat together?"

"Ah, we've had some, and Liu Shuai is gonna treat us－" Not until Long Fei finished his words did Liu Shuai glare at him and cover his mouth. Liu Shuai smiled at once and said, ignoring the befuddled Zhe, "We barely eat anything and we are just about to have dinner."

"That's great!" said Zhe quickly, "There is a pretty nice Italian restaurant nearby. Shall we go and have a taste?"
