《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 226: New Discovery
Advertisement
It was already 22:10 when Luan returned to the island. His mood had already returned to normal.
"Luan, the top ten of the tournament have already appeared." Catharina brought the list:
1 - Rooster (King of the Chicken Coop)
2 - Henson
3 - Honey
4 - Kamila
5 - Gabriella
6 - Laís Guerra
7 - Balthazar
8 - Muriel
9 - Neymar
10 - Adelia
'Did the rooster win?' Even Luan almost laughed at that.
"I want to laugh, right? The rooster ended up winning, and his name is the king of the chicken coop... Lol." Catharina giggled.
"Luan, go eat, the food will be cold," Maira warned.
"Okay, mom." Luan went to the kitchen.

The next morning, it was April 16, Saturday. Around ten in the morning, Luan got a call while he was helping the Elite Squad train.
"Good morning, I would like to speak with Mr. Luan Dimas," a female voice spoke from the other end of the line.
"That's me," Luan answered.
"That is great! Mr. Luan Dimas, Franciele Correia from the Itaucard Sales Center here." She continued, "Do you already have an account at Itaú bank?"
"Franciele, right? Tell me, what are the advantages of what you are talking about?" Luan asked.
Ingrid, who came over with a glass of juice to give Luan, frowned at the conversation.
"You can do everything on your cell phone through the app, you can pay as you like, there is also an approach that makes it easy to pay, and you can buy and collect points on iupp. And by the way, there is only 1 more of this plan available. You don't want to miss this chance, do you?" she said.
"I understand. Those are quite advantageous. This got me interested. By the way, Franciele, are you married, single?" Luan asked.
Ingrid next door started to get angry. Luan gave her a reassuring smile and motioned for her to come closer.
"I don't understand why you're asking this, but well, I'm single," she answered.
"So Franciele, you're currently single, and you must be between 20 to 30 years old, right? Well then, a friend of mine said that he signed and was awarded one of those itaú cards. In fact, he's always bragging about the advantages of this card that makes me even a bit angry. Anyway, I really wanted this card, but there's only 1 right?" Luan said.
"Yes, it's the last one!" Franciele confirmed.
"Sigh, I wanted this card and I would rub it in my friend's face and say I got one too, but I won't. Do you know why?" Luan asked.

"Oh, why sir?" Franciele was curious and afraid of losing the sale.
"Because you deserve more than me. You see, you're a single woman, and you're likely to earn a little more than the minimum wage, however, with Itaucard, you can buy your things in 5, 6, 7, up to 12 installments without interest and still have the advantage of accumulating points on iupp. By the way, there's only 1 more of this plan, what are you waiting for?" Luan raised his voice a little.
"What do you mean?" She was confused.
"I'm saying, because you're still wasting time, start making your registration. Are you going to seize this chance, or are you going to let this chance that fell into your lap slip away?" Luan asked.
"I, I, wait, I'll get my documents."
Seconds later, she came back breathless and said happily, "I got my documents. I'm registering. My hand is shaking, I can't believe I'm so lucky," she said.
"It's analyzing…" She said and then yelled, "It's over, I got it! Thank you, Mr. Luan Dimas, thank you!"
"Haha, I'm happy for you, you deserve it," Luan told her.
"Thank you again!" she said.
The call ended. Ingrid, now standing beside Luan, was amazed.
"Luan... What have you done?" Ingrid was still skeptical. The whole call was unbelievable.
"Oh, I made a sale," Luan smiled.
"But, wasn't she the one who wanted to sell to you?" Ingrid asked.
"Yes, but I already have a lot of unlimited cards, because I would have stolen the girl's chance. After all, they only had 1 more, yes? Well, it's nice to do good deeds sometimes." Luan smiled as if he'd actually done something good.
"Oh yes, your juice." Ingrid handed it to him, still stunned.
"Why are you so surprised?" Luan asked.
"I mean, you sold something to someone who was trying to sell it first to you. Isn't that surprising?" Ingrid asked.
"Haha. I just made her think that I was getting a great deal and that I was having this privilege, especially the part where I said I wanted it, but I was leaving it for her because she deserved it: that was the key point. At that moment she felt special. She really believed that she was getting something that someone else wanted but was willing to give her," Luan explained.
"Have you thought about working in sales?" Ingrid asked wryly.
"No, I did that just now for fun. It's very boring just training sometimes, and I was also taking a break from my training," Luan said.

When they heard Franciele scream that she got it, the other salespeople looked at her strangely. Wasn't it just a sale?
But then, as if a chip had fallen, she remembered what had just happened, and was terrified until her supervisor told her what happened.
"Are you telling me a customer convinced you to buy the card you were selling to him?"
"Yes."
"Wow! That boy is a genius! Come on, let me hear this call, maybe we can use it to change the company script!" The supervisor was excited.

"What are you going to do now, Luan?" Ingrid asked.
"I'm thinking about refining my body, but that is very painful. I don't feel like doing it, but I know I need to. I'm in a dilemma," Luan replied.
"How does it work?" Ingrid asked. For Luan to be reluctant the pain must be absurd.
"There's no extreme like going into a pan full of peeling oil, but not far from it either. However, I need to go through this to make my body basically refined and become several times stronger than it currently is," Luan explained.
"There's no other way?" Ingrid was scared, as she would also have to go through this, since she was also in the Refine Body stage.
"Yes, but it takes a lot longer. It could take 1 month to complete otherwise," Luan said.
"I prefer to wait 1 month. I'll go for the easiest!" Only 1 month? She would definitely go for the easiest.
"Oh, I already planned on letting you go the easy way anyway." Luan smiled. He didn't want his girlfriend to suffer if it wasn't necessary. The issue was if he wanted to be stronger faster, he needed to be ready to suffer a little more pain.
"Wait, I remember something," Luan said suddenly.
"Yeah?" Ingrid was all ear.
"I'm going to create a gravitational field. Being exposed to intense gravity, it can help to refine the body faster, especially with the help of pills. Yes, that's what I'm going to do," Luan said and started walking. "Since I've figured out what to do, I'll put this idea into practice."
"But how are you going to make the weight change?" Ingrid asked.
"I'm going to use my Origin with the cloud and make staying inside the field around it heavier," Luan said, "Basically, I'm going to connect the clouds through gravity and make gravity heavier, and like that, I could spread it all over the island if I want to, but that's just a theory. Mm, still needs testing. But if it works, it will be of great help. After all, everyone would be able to train with increased gravity, and by controlling the clouds, I can choose certain places for the gravity to be higher," Luan explained.
"I, I need to test this!" Luan was a little agitated, and he soon controlled the clouds and made himself go up above the ground.
An absurd amount of clouds began to move towards the center of the earth.
Luan sat on the floor and kept his eyes closed. When his eyes opened he laughed and then the clouds came back. Around the island, cloud wires connected and in the sky, clouds surrounded the island.
"Increase gravity where I am by 100 kilos," Luan muttered.
*Bang!*
Gravity did indeed get heavier; Ingrid beside him felt it. Her feet sank a little into the ground. Ingrid felt like her shoulders, hands, feet, basically everything weighed another hundred pounds.
"Haha, it worked. I have done it!" What he had managed to do was something very surprising. Although to use something like this in a fight, he would need to make preparations, like connecting the clouds to the center of the earth. If anyone entered his territory, it would be asking to die flat.
"Ingrid, tell everyone that I'm going to increase the gravity of the island by 50 kilos. And also tell them not to come near me, as I'm going to put gravity far greater than just 50 kilos around myself," Luan warned.
"I want to train too, have you forgotten? I'm also in the Refine the Body Stage," Ingrid said.
"Yes, I know. I'll also increase the gravity for you later. First, just let the others know, okay?" Luan kissed her.
"Right." Ingrid nodded and left.
'Well, I'll start with 200 kilos while I do my body training,' Luan said in his mind.
When the gravity around him became more than 200 pounds heavier, the difficulty in moving increased, and it was also harder and slower for him to perform the 48 movements of the body technique.
Of course, Luan got the hang of it in a short time and gradually managed to increase the speed of the 48 movements of the technique. However, he did not increase the amount of gravity. It was necessary to take it easy so as not to get hurt, and he also needed to get used to the heightened gravity.
