"Old Ji, why are you suddenly recruiting so many craftsmen who can make armor and forge cold weapons?"

When asked to recruit people, Big Gold Tooth was completely bewildered. They didn't make movies, so they couldn't understand what use those things were.

"You don't need to worry about that, you'll find out later."

Ji Haobo smiled mysteriously and waved to the group, then added some vibranium reinforcement to everyone's clothes.

Two days later, Qiu Dehao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came to the door.

"Bo, my friend, it's been a long time!"

"Yeah! Long time no see, Lao Qiu, have you made a fortune lately?"

Looking at Qiu Dehao, who seemed a bit older than last time, Ji Haobo smiled and nodded.

"Uh, no...no, ever since I failed to find immortality in Changbai Mountain last time, I've been looking for other clues."

Qiu Dehao grinned awkwardly, and started to get excited as he spoke.

"Bo, based on the clues I have now, there's a place where the Queen Mother of the West refines the elixir of immortality. I've come here to invite you to go with me."

"That's certainly not a problem, but..."

Before Ji Haobo could finish speaking, Qiu Dehao quickly said:

"I understand! I understand, I'll donate five hundred million merits!"

It's not that he's rich and foolish, but rather that he feels his time is running out;

If we don't find the secret to immortality this time, it's questionable whether we'll even be able to come back, so money is no longer an issue.

"No problem, as long as the merits are sufficient, everything is negotiable."

Seeing that the old man was getting the hang of it, Ji Haobo patted him on the shoulder with a bright smile.

It wasn't that he cared about the hundreds of millions of dollars; it was just a side thing. Anyway, he wanted to go to Tamutuo because there was a giant meteorite there.

Seeing that he had agreed, Qiu Dehao, based on his past experience, knew that it was time for him to leave.

So, without needing anyone to pour tea or see him off, he very tactfully stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo thought for a moment and decided to release some information.

"Old Qiu! I mean, if... you still haven't gotten immortality this time, but I actually have a way."

However, since it requires too much merit from donations, I generally don't recommend using back channels.

He now roughly guessed what the old man was thinking, which is why he went out with a sliver of hope, so that he wouldn't be short of a tool later.

Upon hearing his words, Qiu Dehao couldn't help but twitch his lips and curse wildly in his heart.

Holy crap! Is it really appropriate to say this now?

In the end, the old man stood there stunned for a long time before silently walking away.

They didn't ask anything, not even how much merit was required.

Because he knew that Ji Haobo's exorbitant demands were far beyond what he could possibly afford.

"Old Ji, what you just said, is it true or false? Is there really such a thing as immortality?"

After Qiu Dehao left, Big Gold Tooth hurriedly asked, "No one wants to die if they can live forever, and they are no exception."

"We didn't have this before, but we do now. Don't worry, everyone will get a share."

The three silly figures next to him were stunned for a moment, then excitedly picked up their teacups and drank them down in one gulp.

"Master Bo, are you serious? We can all live forever?"

"Alright, no need to make a fuss. Go and get ready, we'll leave this afternoon."

Ji Haobo ignored the three silly figures jumping around and went back to Fantasy Island to be with his wife.

Although Yang Xueli and Laura are almost two months pregnant, they have no symptoms at all and are acting like nothing is wrong.

Upon learning that he was going to visit the Queen Mother of the West's lair, he immediately expressed his desire to go with him.

"Haobo, I want..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Ji Haobo deliberately interrupted her, picked her up, and said:

"Okay, I'll grant your request."

Late at night, on a secluded highway, two glaring lights flashed as a Hummer roared past.

It was Ji Haobo and the others. Besides him and A Ning, there was also Lao Hu, Wang Pangzi, and Wu Xie, the lazy bum, in the car.

The group was supposed to set off in the afternoon, but then Bai Mian'er showed up.

"Hey kid, none of your best buddies are here. Did they abandon you?"

Hearing Wang Pangzi's teasing, Wu Xie scratched his head awkwardly.

"I don't know what they're up to. They're all making excuses to disappear, except for one clue that someone went to some kind of sanatorium."

"Damn it, I hate these mysterious guys the most. Given the bromance between Erpang and Zhang Menzi and you, it's definitely Wu Laosan pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Wang Pangzi's nonsensical thought process left everyone speechless, but no one refuted him, guessing that the truth was probably just like that.

After an incense stick had burned, everyone got out of the car. Looking at the dark buildings ahead, Fatty Wang frowned and asked:

"White Face, are you sure this is the place? It's pitch black; I can't guess what clues there are besides ghosts."

"Uh! It should... probably?"

Wu Xie nodded hesitantly, looking at the rusty iron gate and the gloomy, dilapidated building.

The thought of seeing someone in the video who looks exactly like me sends chills down my spine.

"boom…"

The sudden commotion startled them. Ji Haobo kicked the large iron gate open and led A Ning inside.

This place must have been deserted for a long time. Not only is the yard overgrown with weeds, but the building's walls are also peeling, and the ground is littered with waste paper and rubbish.

The whole thing does look a bit eerie, like a scene from a horror movie.

"Brother Bo, it seems like no one has been here for a long time!"

Old Hu frowned, looking at Wu Xie with some suspicion, wondering if this guy had made a mistake.

"No, there's no one here right now, but there's a forbidden woman who's an experiment."

Ji Haobo walked inside without turning his head, and seemingly aware of everyone's doubts, he continued:

"Some people used to be imprisoned here, the group that entered the underwater tomb twenty years ago, including Zhang Menzi."

They were tricked into being fed corpse beetle pills and turned into experimental subjects for observation.

Aside from the two old cunning bastards who got involved, Zhang Menzi was studied by people for many years, and his life and death were intertwined with his existence.

One hid for over twenty years, and the rest turned into sea monkeys and forbidden women—they're basically all dead.

After hearing this, the group looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that this sanatorium had once been such a place.

Wu Xie was even more surprised that Zhang Menzi could have such a frustrating and miserable moment, and he immediately burst into a tirade of curses.

"Damn it! Which bastard is plotting this behind the scenes? Don't let me find out, or else... or I'll have Erpang go up and kill him!"

Fatty Wang patted him on the shoulder in support, while Old Hu's thoughtful face showed an extremely strange expression.

"Uh! Mr. Bo, the person you're talking about scheming... it wouldn't happen to be..."

"Hey, aren't they just those two old sly devils!"

Ji Haobo turned to look at him, shrugged, and smiled:

"Although this was not their intention, things took an unexpected turn, leading to irreversible consequences."
