Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Well, I don't have any savings."

Americans are not in the habit of saving money. Their idea is to spend money in advance, and then use their salary to pay off credit cards.

"Okay, I'll give it for free this time." Chen Zhao curled his lips and sent the Buddha to the West: "By the way, what did you originally do?"

"I work as a personal trainer, but because my wife and daughter were kidnapped, I haven't been to my employer for several days, so I was fired."

"What do you mainly teach?"

"Fitness and safety coach, I have a coaching certificate."

"It just so happens that I have a customer. He is a professional track and field athlete, but he doesn't have a club. Can you train him?"

"Of course, of course."

"Okay, I'll give you his business card. Then you can contact him and tell him that I introduced him."

"The salary he gave will not be very high for the time being because he was just injured."

Bird won't refuse. He needs this employer very much now, even if the salary is lower, it won't be a problem.

"Okay, it's time for you to go to bed. David, you can go to my room to sleep." Chen Zhao stood up and said.

"how about you?"

Chen Zhao did not answer David's question, but went directly into the basement and locked the door.

"..." Everyone fell into silence, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Chen Zhao has already made an agreement with Ford, and Chen Zhao plans to invest in Ford.

So Chen Zhao not only had to help him heal his leg injury, but also found ways to improve his performance.

Chen Zhao remembered that there was a potion mentioned in the devil's medical book that could improve human physical fitness.

And judging from the formula of this medicine, it is not complicated.

The most important point is that the most important formula in this potion is the devil crystal, and this is exactly what Chen Zhao lacks the most.

However, there are still some potion recipes that need to be obtained from hell.

Of course, the cost of traveling to and from hell is too high. For Beelzebub's body to summon Chen Zhao to hell, a hundred souls are required as sacrifices at one time.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to buy from Raz. Although the prices given by Raz are generally higher than the original value, Chen Zhao has no choice but to choose to buy from Raz.

"Chen, I just helped you eliminate two hundred and thirty-eight evil spirits, so now you owe me two hundred and thirty-eight years of demon crystals."

"I'll pay it back to you when I have more money."

Chen Zhao can't produce so many demon crystals now. To be honest, Chen Zhao feels that he really suffered a big loss this time.

Originally, he was thinking that there might only be a dozen or twenty evil spirits attacking the girl, and he could afford it.

I didn't expect that I would pay such a big price all at once.

However, Chen Zhao still has a complete perfect crystal in his hand, which he got when he saved someone in a fire last time.

There are also some scattered demon crystals, and the total years add up to twenty years.

and a small amount of perfect crystal powder, which is what is left after the first perfect crystal is ground.

Instead of summoning Raz directly, Chen Zhao first asked Beelzebub to convey what he needed, and then asked Raz to bring the things over.

"Twenty copies of the Vine of Inmans, one year's worth of demon crystals, five Soul Eater's Eyes, one year's worth of demon crystals..."

Chen Zhao bought a lot of each material, and all of them were settled with demon crystals.

Raz liked doing business with Chen Zhao very much. After all, all his previous customers did not use demon crystals to pay their bills. Most of them used barter.

Only the living person in front of him would give him the devil crystal.

And the things he sells are not unique, and can even be obtained by many demons.

Therefore, when doing business with Chen Zhao, he did not dare to be ambiguous in any way, and he only had more weight.

"Your Excellency, the Great Living One, all the things you want are here. Please take inventory."

"No need to count, I can trust you."

Of course, these are just Chen Zhao's words in person. After Raz leaves, he will still take stock.

He also wished that Raz was missing something, so that he could have the upper hand next time he made a deal.

After sending Raz away, Chen Zhao entered the laboratory and began to try to prepare the medicine.

"Extract the juice from the vine of Inmans, then pour it on the petals of the rootless flower, then mash the rootless flower and pour it into the water of the Styx..."

After a busy night, Chen Zhao prepared the potion, a bottle of purple liquid.

This bottle of potion doesn't look like an ordinary potion. It seems to be boiling inside, but in fact the potion is at room temperature.

Chen Zhao dipped a little on his finger, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.

It has no taste... I don’t know how effective it is.

Before Ford can cure his leg injury, he needs to find someone or animals to conduct experiments.

Beelzebub and the others must not be able to do it, because this potion is only useful for human beings.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao thought, how about looking for David?

Chen Zhao ran out of the basement and opened his bedroom door.

It was just past six in the morning, and Chen Zhao mentioned the sleeping David.

"David, get up."

"Chen... what time is it now..." David rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall: "Oh my god, it's only six o'clock now, let me sleep a little longer."

"Drink this."

"Breakfast? Thank you..." David poured the medicine in the bottle into his mouth without even looking at it, and then fell asleep with his head covered.

But David hadn't slept long when he felt a tingling sensation on his arm.

"Ah..." David opened his eyes again and saw Chen Zhao holding a syringe and drawing blood for himself.

"Chen, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. Let me check your body and continue sleeping."

"Wait...did you do some experiment on me?" David suddenly woke up: "I remember what you gave me to drink just now...it doesn't seem to be breakfast."

"That's my newly invented potion that can improve physical fitness." Chen Zhao said.

"Improve physical fitness?"

"Yes."

"Can you turn me into Superman?"

"cannot."

"What's the use?"

"I don't know. I need to take your blood to check. Return it. Now you can sleep peacefully."

"Wait a minute, how do you want me to sleep peacefully? Does your potion have any side effects?"

"Absolutely not, don't worry."

Chen Zhao had a meaningful smile, and David really couldn't feel at ease.

"real?"

"real."

"I'm still worried."

"Then get up and see how the medicine works. In fact, this is my first time preparing this medicine."

"Do you give it to people for the first time? Are you not doing clinical trials at all?"

"Yes, you are my clinical patient."

"Can I say dirty words?"
