Walking into the abandoned shipyard and reaching the corner where the Dragon King was, since the Dragon King had taken over this place, Hai Long particularly disliked cockroaches, spiders, and snakes. Therefore, the arrogant Hai Long controlled the Dragon King to sweep the entire room with an electric current. After that, the room where the Dragon King was located had no weeds, not even a fly, let alone cockroaches, ants, or snakes.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hai Long's soul then entered the Dragon King's body. Hai Long didn't know if the electric stimulation was effective, as there was no reasonable article explaining the principle of electric stimulation on muscles, either in books or online. So, Hai Long decided to start with a low voltage, 5V, controlling the four whiskers on the Dragon King's chin to touch different muscle positions on one of Hai Long's arms, with one whisker placed on his shoulder. Three whiskers discharged electricity, and one whisker collected it, forming a weak electric field on the conductor, allowing Hai Long's arm to be stimulated by the current without the current entering other parts of his body. The current would be collected by the whisker at the shoulder. Everything was ready, and Hai Long controlled the Dragon King to take a deep breath and then release 5V of voltage.
One minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Five minutes passed...
Ten minutes passed...
Hai Long, controlling the Dragon King, looked at his arm with no reaction, scratched the Dragon King's head with his claw, and thought, "Probably the voltage is too low. Forget it, let's try 10V."
Then, one minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Ten minutes passed...
"Damn it, does this thing even work? It's already 10V, and there's still no reaction in my body. I remember the teacher in high school said the safe voltage is 36V. Let's try 30V and see if it works."
If someone were to see this at that moment, they would witness a strange scene: in a dark room, a dragon-like creature was using its four electrically charged whiskers to wrap around a human sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the human was constantly trembling. As the human trembled, the Dragon King's body also shook, a pain that came from the soul. Hai Long cursed in his heart, "Damn it, who the hell said the safe voltage is 36V? I almost electrocuted myself with 30V."
However, upon closer inspection, Hai Long found that the 30V voltage only caused pain and nothing else. His soul returned to his body, and he felt his arm, which was only sore, like he had been lifting dumbbells for a long time. Hai Long thought, "It seems there's no danger. Let's try again." So, Hai Long continued to control the Dragon King to release voltage on his arm, and Hai Long continued to endure the pain.
Every ten minutes, Hai Long would return to his body to feel his arm. After an hour, Hai Long found that his left arm was completely weak, so sore that it felt like it was losing sensation. He then stopped the electric stimulation on his left arm and controlled the Dragon King to move to his right arm, starting the electric stimulation on his right arm.
Next, he stimulated the muscles in his legs, then his abdomen, and finally his back. "I wonder if I can use electric stimulation on my little brother. It's also a muscle, right? Should I try?" Hai Long quickly dismissed this thought. "No way, can you just randomly use electric stimulation on that part? If something goes wrong, how will I live the rest of my life? Hu Jing would have to be a widow, and there are so many beautiful women in the world. Brazilian women are fiery and open, Ukrainian women are the most beautiful, Korean women are the cutest, and Japanese women are the most gentle. I haven't even experienced them yet. I must take care of my little brother."
While Hai Long was lost in thought, he realized an important issue: he couldn't move. After being electrocuted, every muscle in his body was so painful that he couldn't move. Even a light touch caused him extreme pain. It was already late at night, and he couldn't even take a taxi home. Helplessly, Hai Long had to sleep in that position. The foolish Hai Long was secretly relieved that his buttocks had no muscles; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to sleep sitting down.
Using electric stimulation, Hai Long could feel the changes in his body were quite noticeable. The next morning, his body had mostly recovered, though it was still sore, he could move freely. After leaving the abandoned shipyard, Hai Long secretly left the village, looking back to see that Li Guohui had already woken up Liu Yong'an and the others for morning exercises. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Little guys, wait until this weekend when your boss comes back and gives you a surprise. You all think I'm falling behind, but you don't know that I have the electric stimulation method to quickly increase muscle strength. I won't even need to threaten you with salary cuts to surprise you. Just thinking about your terrified faces when I mention salary cuts makes me want to laugh."
Hai Long didn't go to class in the morning but bought hundreds of pounds of high-quality ginseng and supplements and had them delivered to the small fishing village for everyone to use. When Li Guohui saw these supplements, his eyes turned green. Just the ginseng alone was worth over 100,000 yuan, and there was so much of it that it was enough for a medicinal bath. He couldn't help but marvel, "No wonder these guys are willing to work so hard for Hai Long. He's really generous."
Hai Long also bought enough ginseng for himself to make soup. His body needed a lot of nourishment, and even a pot of ginseng soup didn't seem enough. He even ate the ginseng, but it didn't make him nosebleed, indicating it wasn't enough.
After eating the ginseng in the morning, Hai Long went to a massage parlor to find a beautiful masseuse to give him a full-body massage to relieve his muscle fatigue.
The most famous massage parlor in Donghai City was Lishui Palace. It was not only luxuriously decorated but also had all kinds of facilities. Most importantly, it had a wide variety of beautiful women, and it offered special services. However, Hai Long came here today for a regular massage. As soon as he entered, he felt the warmth of Lishui Palace. It was already winter in November, and some northern regions had already seen heavy snow. Although Donghai City was a coastal city, the temperature had dropped below 10 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature was even colder, with visible frost in the breath. However, as soon as he entered Lishui Palace, none of the girls were wearing long clothes; they were all in short tops and skirts, looking incredibly alluring under the dim lights. After a quick shower, he called a server and said, "Find me a masseuse with good skills. I want a massage." The server smiled sweetly and said, "Please follow me." Then she led Hai Long to a massage room.
It was a small room of about ten square meters, with only one bed, warm lighting, and pink walls, giving a luxurious and indulgent feeling. Lying comfortably on the bed, the server asked, "Sir, do you want special services or regular services?"
Hai Long smiled and said, "Regular services. I'm quite tired all over. Find me a masseuse who specializes in massage, and I'll choose one."
The server understood and said, "Please wait a moment."
Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then a girl in revealing clothes led more than ten girls in short tops and skirts into the room. The colorful array of girls almost blinded Hai Long's eyes. He looked at the server at the door, and the leading girl said, "Sir, just to let you know, these sisters are here to perform, not to sell themselves. They specialize in massage and do not accept other services. If you want other services, please let us know."
Hearing this, Hai Long felt relieved. After all, he was still a virgin, and giving his first time to these women didn't seem worth it. He said, "Understood." Then he started to look at the girls. After a quick scan, he pointed to a long-haired girl in a light yellow dress and said, "I'll take the girl in the yellow dress. Have her give me a massage."
After the others left, Hai Long smiled at the girl and said, "I'm quite sore all over. Please help me relax my muscles."
The girl sweetly said, "Understood," and started preparing.
Surprisingly, this girl had quite a bit of strength in her hands, and she gave Hai Long a very comfortable massage. Hai Long smiled and said, "You're doing a great job. From now on, I'll come to you every time I need a massage."
The girl sweetly said, "Thank you, sir."
Hai Long had only slept for a few hours the night before and hadn't fully recovered. He fell asleep during the massage. He slept until noon and woke up to see the girl still sitting by his side. He asked, "What time is it now?"
She told him it was already 11:00 AM. Hai Long apologized, "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be busy with other customers?"
The girl said, "You were still sleeping, and I didn't know if you were satisfied with my service, so I waited for you to wake up. If you weren't satisfied, I would have worked for nothing."
Hai Long forgot about this and apologized, taking out 500 yuan from his pocket and giving it to the girl, saying, "This is a tip. Keep it for yourself."
Jingjing was originally upset because Hai Long's nap had delayed her business for the morning. If Hai Long hadn't fallen asleep, Jingjing could have done at least one more massage, which would have earned her 200 yuan. Seeing Hai Long sleep like a dead pig, Jingjing felt wronged. Lishui Palace had a rule that if a customer was unsatisfied with the service, they didn't have to pay. If she had left while he was sleeping and he woke up and said he was unsatisfied, she would have worked for nothing. However, Jingjing never expected this boss to be so generous and humble. In her nearly six months at Lishui Palace, she had never seen a man like this. Apart from the vulgar, fat, or boastful men who were all talk and no action, there was a man who was gentle and considerate. Seeing that she had delayed his work, he immediately gave her 500 yuan and even found an excuse for her, saying he was very satisfied with her service. Oh, when had a clean girl like her ever received 500 yuan in tips? She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Seeing the girl hesitant to take the money, Hai Long smiled and put the money in her hand, saying, "I'll come back tomorrow at the same time. Try to keep the time for me, or I'll be sad."
Hearing this, Jingjing spat at Hai Long and said, "You're so annoying." Hai Long laughed and left Lishui Palace. After the massage, he felt much better, but thinking about the evening training, he felt a bit depressed. It was truly a test of willpower and endurance.
After a week of continuous training, Hai Long's muscles had clearly defined edges. As long as he continued, he would eventually become a muscular man.
On Saturday morning, Liu Yong'an and the others were happily sitting in the courtyard, discussing how to show off their training success to their boss. A week of training had already made them adapt to the intensity, and Li Guohui told them that if they kept it up for another month, he could teach them combat techniques. Seeing their strong bodies, they were all very happy.
However, when they saw Hai Long, their happiness vanished. They looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, and even Li Guohui was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out. When Hai Long took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles, it made their soft muscles look pale in comparison. Seeing their disappointed looks, Hai Long laughed and said, "What do you think? I told you, you can't match my muscles."
The others were speechless. This boss was too mean, not focusing on his studies but instead training his muscles to compete with them.
Liu Yong'an said resentfully, "Boss, you're too mean. We've been training so hard, and you still don't let us off. How can your muscles be stronger than ours?"
Hai Long said solemnly, "I, your boss, am a man of my word. I promised to share the hardships with my brothers. You're working hard, so how can I not? But I remember we had a bet, right?"
The others looked at their boss with resentment and said, "We probably won't be able to go to Lishui Palace in this lifetime. With your body, we can never catch up."
Hai Long laughed and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Be calm. I promise that once each of you has been recognized by Li Guohui for your physical fitness, I'll take you all to Lishui Palace. How about that?"
Hearing this, the others burst into enthusiasm again. Hai Long smiled and said, "Go catch crabs in the morning. I'm waiting to sell them. We need a lot of money recently, and my funds are running low." The others immediately agreed.
After telling them the coordinates for catching crabs at sea, Hai Long let them go and then sat on a warm rock by the sea with Li Guohui to discuss some matters.
Li Guohui said, "Boss, I didn't expect the guys you found to have such good physical fitness, especially Liu Yongquan. I'm very satisfied with them. At this rate, in no more than half a year, in about two months, I can teach them combat techniques. Although I don't know why you want them to learn these killing skills, I can guarantee that within half a year, each of them can face three ordinary people with knives and kill them all without getting hurt."
Hai Long originally thought that if Li Guohui could make them win in one-on-one fights, he would be satisfied. He never expected Li Guohui to exceed his expectations and train them to be able to handle three people in half a year. Hai Long smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm not teaching them these combat skills to kill, but to protect themselves."
Hai Long continued, "You've been in the world for so long, and you should know that the world isn't as beautiful as you imagine. Many people and things don't develop as you expect. If you want to avoid these situations, you need to prepare for the future. This way, you can always stay ahead and have a stable living environment. These guys have been with me for over two months, and I've treated them sincerely, so they're willing to work hard for me. But who wants to risk their life if they don't have to? I'm doing this just to protect myself."
Li Guohui didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, acknowledging Hai Long's words.
Hai Long's business had also been well understood by Li Guohui over the past period. He never expected Hai Long to have a way to bring crabs out of the Devil Sea, which was a miraculous thing. Since the discovery of the Devil Sea, no one in hundreds of years had been able to benefit from it. Only Hai Long could bring crabs out of the Devil Sea. It was the season for crabs, and even ordinary crabs outside were selling for 50 yuan per pound, let alone Hai Long's wild Devil Sea crabs. Li Guohui roughly calculated that each time Hai Long went out to sea, he could make hundreds of thousands of yuan. If he didn't think about self-protection, he would be crazy.
After all, there were so many gangs in Donghai City. If you had such a large profit without the corresponding social connections, you would eventually be targeted. By the time you realized it, it would be too late. They would have already set up a trap for you. At that point, your only option would be to hand over the method of bringing crabs out of the Devil Sea and leave Donghai City. If you were unlucky, you might even be killed by the gang.
