The Demon’s Menu

Cui Long Nv, Hong Xiu, and little Zhao left, waiting for Jason who wanted answers, standing up from the stool, he guessed that the 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long Wang would have the next step planned.

Moreover, it would definitely involve him.

Similarly, 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long Wang would provide the corresponding reward.

Naturally, the reward would be extremely generous.

In this regard, Jason has already experienced it.

Therefore, he is very much looking forward to it.

And now?

Naturally, it's about adjusting his own state.

To acquire, one must first give.

He knows even more: something is worth its value.

The 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long Wang's giving is just for a better gain.

The two sides are partners.

And good partners must be evenly matched.

Whew!

Taking a deep breath, Jason began to pace around the small courtyard.

While pacing, he was gesturing something.

Dou Bao, who was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, saw it, and could immediately tell that Jason was simulating the scene of fighting with the 'Transmigration Cult' Sect Hierarch once again.

Immediately, she sped up her cleaning.

Those two projectiles were used, she had to replenish them.

Otherwise, facing the 'Transmigration Cult' Sect Hierarch next time would be extremely passive.

Of course, there are other enemies.

Fortunately, some things her father taught her were already completed.

'As a regular defense, it should come in handy.'

Dou Bao thought, did not disturb Jason, and just returned to the kitchen, after putting the bowls and chopsticks away, she turned into the second floor of the small building to her own room.

The room was filled with all kinds of wood, metal, and gunpowder, and so forth.

A puppet the size of a child, with an extremely large head had already been formed.

"Installing the machine gun, grenades, and cannon counts as completing the most important step."

Dou Bao skillfully operated everything with her fingers.

One weapon after another was attached to the puppet.

Once everything was done, Dou Bao lifted her hand and pressed the back of the puppet's neck.

Click, click.

A mechanical sound came, the puppet stood up, as if pre-programmed, the puppet formally saluted Dou Bao, then said in a mechanical voice: "Number 1 reporting to the master."

Success!

Dou Bao clapped her hands, then meticulously inspected Number 1's body.

After confirming there were no issues, she began to make the second one.

'The book dad left for you, you should read it more, some little gadgets on it are very useful—of course, when you encounter an ultimate master, just having one would definitely not suffice.'

'So, you have to make a few more.'

'Once you're familiar, you can look at the little gadgets in the back.'

Dou Bao remembered her father's words very clearly.

And she also read the latter part where 'Luban' is written.

The back was designed with a kind of mechanical arm for her personally, three on each side, can be equipped with her favorite projectiles, poisons, and her mom's favorite projectiles, poisons.

'These are some little gadgets to keep you alive before you reach the ultimate, once you reach the ultimate, you will find sometimes the ultimate is not as interesting as these little gadgets.'

'However, you still have to reach the ultimate.'

'After all, the beauty of the world is hard to see completely without reaching the ultimate, or even not see at all.'

Dou Bao remembered clearly, when her father said these words, he was holding a basin of foot-washing water, but with an expression she had never seen on his face before.

It was a kind of longing.

Even a belief.

Once dreamed of roaming the world with a sword, to see the world's prosperity.

Strangely, a melodious tune echoed in Dou Bao's ears at that moment.

But then—

'Add water, add hot water.'

'Put some mugwort in.'

'Also…'

'Get some ginger.'

Her mother's voice came, and immediately her father's expression returned to the everyday look.

'Coming, my dear.'

After speaking, he tossed her five coins, instructed her to buy soy sauce, and went into the room carrying the basin.

Though she didn't know why, even though the family's vinegar and soy sauce almost filled a vat, they still needed to stock up.

Yet, she listened to what her father said.

No reason why.

Sometimes, I feel my dad is so pitiful.

Every day he wakes up early to do carpentry work, and when he comes home at night, he has to wash mom's feet.

Unlike mom, who spends her days dealing with various herbs, snakes, spiders, scorpions, toads, and centipedes.

'You're too young to understand.

When you grow up, you'll understand.

It's a pity your mom swore an oath; otherwise, she could've taught you the "Five Poisons Divine Sand."'

Her mom often said this to her.

She didn't know if it was true or not.

But the "Five Poisons Divine Sand" must be very formidable, right?

Dou Bao thought to herself, but her hands didn't stop.

Meanwhile, Number 1 stood still for a moment, as if activating a certain program, then walked straight to Dou Bao, tearing off the cover of the book her dad left behind, pulling out a thin layer of gauze from the inside.

Dou Bao was stunned.

Number 1 immediately handed over the gauze.

It was filled with writing.

The handwriting was her mom's; she recognized it at a glance.

'Dou Bao, being able to see this gauze means you've managed to create your dad's little gadget. I must say, my dear daughter is truly smart, undoubtedly inheriting her mother's perfect wisdom and her dad's skillfulness. Therefore, this thing can be handed over to you. You remember mom mentioned the "Five Poisons Divine Sand"? That was something mom swore not to teach anyone, including you, otherwise, it would be disrespectful to your grandpa's grave.'

'So, mom created a skill more formidable than the "Five Poisons Divine Sand" over the years, it's called the "Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm."'

'You need to practice the basics by harnessing the five calamitous qi of heaven and earth, and upon completion, convert the five calamities into the power of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only then would matching the five elements with the five calamities count as minor mastery of this "True Skill", unleashing strikes that bring forth five-colored light at will, destroying everything and breaking nothing. When that time comes, no place in this world will be off-limits to you.'

'By the way, mom and dad are happy. They should've gone to somewhere better by now, don't worry.'

'Additionally, when others ask for your name, you can say Dou Bao.'

'If it's a more formal occasion, remember to use your full name, it's——'

'Tang Dou Bao.'

The subsequent text records the specific training methods of the "Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm."

Dou Bao glanced over them, confirming that her mom hadn't said it couldn't be taught to outsiders, and immediately got up and ran outside.

Of course, she would practice.

But that doesn't mean she can't share it with the sect master.

Within the small courtyard originally a secret room, Jason received a gauze with the "Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm" written on it, feeling somewhat stunned.

Five-colored light?

Destroy everything?

Break nothing?

He instinctively thought of a great figure from the mythology of his hometown.

Although the description was somewhat different, it truly evoked a connection for him.

Furthermore, what surprised him the most was Dou Bao's mother's talent.

Actually relying on herself to create a "True Skill."

The current Jason isn't clueless anymore; possessing considerable martial arts knowledge, he understands what kind of capability and talent are needed to create a "True Skill."

One in a million?

That description would be an understatement.

At least one in ten million, appearing once in a century, would be appropriate.

As for more adjectives?

Jason couldn't think of any for now.

Or rather, using data would be more fitting.

...

Gasp!

Seeing the unprecedented consumption, Jason couldn't help but gasp.

And those assessments, especially the "spiritual mark!"

It should be a sort of "insurance" set up by Dou Bao's mother to prevent outsiders from inadvertently obtaining it.

However, the more so, the more it proves the greatness of the "Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm."

Unfortunately, with a spiritual mark, he couldn't learn it.

But that doesn't mean there's no gain.

Looking carefully at some of the descriptions of the "Five Poisons Godly Annihilation Palm," Jason's lips curled.

The acupoint problem that had always troubled him seemed to be resolved.
