What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 77 Your Subject Has a Memorial
"awesome!"

Xia Qing also gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

After all, the car that Ling Shuang, or rather the relevant department, provided was a perfect fit, and could even be said to have far exceeded his expectations.

"Don't be too happy yet, we'll charge you."

Ling Shuang then poured cold water on Xia Qing's enthusiasm: "Helping you order this car is just a matter of connections, while giving you the car is a matter of funding. You can't confuse the two."

"How much does that cost?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing's face immediately fell.

This car is so powerful, and it's clearly a custom-made car, even designed with extra effort. Who knows how expensive it is?

"Cost price, one million. The armor steel you wanted is a free gift."

Ling Shuang smiled and spoke.

"...Just kill me. I have no money, and I have no car."

Xia Qing turned around and plopped down on the back of the motorcycle, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, not intending to pay or get off.

Of course, it wasn't that he was acting recklessly or shamelessly without any rhyme or reason.

Rather, since Ling Shuang worked overtime to customize this car in less than two days and even brought it over, she must have had no intention of taking it back and had considered his ability to repay.

"Okay, enough joking around."

Ling Shuang shrugged and said helplessly, "Marshal Yue's matter is indeed quite risky. The higher-ups' intentions are similar to what you said before. Since you can handle it, they won't send any more people. Once this is settled, the car is yours."

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the car seat, and readily agreed.

After all, whether it was to fulfill the other party's desire to sacrifice or for the sake of the white dragon horse, he would definitely still have to fight Yue Wumu again, regardless of whether the conditions were met or not.

The request made by Ling Shuang, or rather by the relevant departments, seems more like a search for a suitable legal framework to formally establish the issue of ownership.

Why don't you give it a try?

Ling Shuang smiled and nodded towards the heavy motorcycle.

"Okay, what's this thing called? Does it have a name?"

Xia Qing nodded, and also somewhat impatiently pushed the nearly human-sized heavy motorcycle out of the cargo box.

"No, it's custom-made. Call it whatever you like."

Ling Shuang leaned against the truck bed with her arms crossed, answering casually.

"Okay, let's call it Dragon Steed then."

Xia Qing pondered.

He still wanted to win Yue Fei's white dragon horse.

Although it's unknown whether it will ultimately exist as a nightmare artifact or some kind of ghost story, the name "Dragon Steed" and its black color are quite fitting.

"I thought you were going to name it Red Hare."

Ling Shuang teased.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's black, after all. If you had given me a red one, I might have actually named it Red Hare."

Xia Qing shrugged.

"Then I think you could actually call it Dian Wei."

Ling Shuang smiled and said again, "Lu Bu riding Dian Wei is invincible!"

"Unfortunately, I am not Lü Bu."

Xia Qing shrugged again.

As soon as he finished speaking, he mounted the dragon horse and began to verify and operate it according to the instructions on the horse.

With the added power of the Dao of Sincerity and the charging ability of the Overlord Halberd Technique, he mastered it easily in almost no time and immediately became adept at it.

The standard controls are similar to those of a regular motorcycle. The intelligent controls are self-explanatory; once switched, the motorcycle will automatically navigate and avoid obstacles.

In simple terms, the motion-sensing interaction mode is to sense his body movements, calculate and adjust his posture, just like Ling Shuang said, it's not much different from playing on a balance bike.

Woohoo!

With a slight throttle input, the Dragon Steed's engine immediately emitted a loud and deep roar.

"Bring your ID, or don't blame me if it gets confiscated."

Ling Shuang helplessly threw over a few more certificates and receipts.

"Thanks."

Xia Qing easily caught it with her hand, and the next moment, the dragon horse's body flew away like a black afterimage.

"Wow! What a magnificent steed! What a divine horse!"

"Its speed is terrifying, its docility unheard of, its coordination as perfect as an extension of its own arm, and its entire body forged from metal, making it impervious to swords and spears without armor and capable of traveling ten thousand miles a day without provisions!"

"Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] has been blessed with such a rare and divine steed, and I am amazed beyond words. I am so grateful that I would rather die ten thousand times to repay your kindness. If you do not mind, I would like to become your godfather, and our tacit understanding will be greatly enhanced."

"No! Rejected!"

Xia Qing brought the dragon horse to a stop with a drift, glanced at the prompt flashing on the screen, and then everything went black, as did her face.

He even became his godfather.

Is the next step to stab my adoptive father with my halberd?

Fortunately, the serious reminder that followed cheered him up a bit.

"Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] has acquired a mount, and amidst boundless joy, you let out a long, triumphant roar. Then, as you wield your halberd once more, the bottleneck of decades has been shattered, and you ascend straight to the Jade Gate Realm!"

The reason for stopping was that I vaguely sensed that some kind of enlightenment was about to emerge, and my blood and energy were also surging and generating on their own.

Name: Overlord's Halberd Technique

"Traits: Body Enhancement (Intermediate); Overlord Halberd Technique (Intermediate); Charge (Beginner)"

"Progress: 0%"

"Timacy: 30%; Unlocked: Heart-to-heart, Unforgettable, Telepathic"

Opening the attribute panel, sure enough, the Overlord Halberd Technique had also broken through to the intermediate level, which is the Jade Gate Realm of Subduing Dragons and Tigers and Locking Jade Gate.

Even though the physical enhancement of martial arts is complementary rather than additive, adding another strength still caused his boiling blood and qi to surge again by several points.

If viewed with a pupil technique like the Golden Eye of Truth, it would surely appear like a billowing smoke, spreading nearly ten feet into the sky.

Not to mention, the Overlord Halberd Technique is not simply about enhancing one part of the body.

Aside from some uniform enhancement, it mainly trains explosive power, which can increase the power of the same strength by several times out of thin air. Combined with stronger physical qualities, it can be said that the strength will increase again.

However, what Xia Qing cared about more was the improvement of the [Overlord Halberd Technique] moves and skills.

At this time, the Overlord Halberd Technique has also been upgraded from a martial art of strength to a martial art of qi and blood. With its own qi and blood-powered techniques, it no longer needs to be forced to adapt to Drunken Fist. The power of each move has been greatly enhanced and made more harmonious.

"The Overlord's Halberd Technique: As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Your subject has a proposal to submit to Your Majesty:"
Now there is the Overlord Halberd Technique, which excels at explosive power and increases strength. (Intermediate Level, Jade Gate Realm)
Possesses Drunken Fist techniques, excels in arm strength, strengthens internal organs, and can cure alcohol and all poisons. (Intermediate Level, Jade Gate Realm)
Possesses the skill of throwing darts with exceptional precision, enhancing dexterity and ensuring unerring accuracy. (Beginner)

Possesses Tai Chi skills, adept at conditioning and replenishing vital energy. (Beginner Level)

Possesses Iron Head Techniques, specializing in head defense, and can withstand heavy blows. (Beginner)

Xia Qing had just finished organizing his insights on upgrading the Overlord Halberd Technique when another message arrived.

This time, however, it wasn't a text prompt, but rather a message similar to the previous Money Dart Technique.

Seeing the improved tacit understanding and the telepathic connection shown on the attribute panel, Xia Qing understood.

Upon closer inspection of the message sent by the Overlord Halberd Technique, he was overjoyed and exclaimed that it was very sensible.

This is a clear summary of my current physical enhancements and the strengths of my cultivation techniques.

Who says the Overlord Halberd Master is not good with words? He is clearly a capable minister, a competent minister, and a great wise minister!
