Looks Like I Really Caught Something

038

Jiang Fu saw that there was nothing unusual on Shi Jiu's face.

Only then did he let out a small sigh of relief.

He hurriedly placed the plates on the dining table.

"Classmate Shi Jiu, dinner's ready!"

Jiang Fu had great confidence in his cooking.

The original owner's cooking had been fairly decent.

Now, with it multiplied by ten.

He was practically a God of cooking descending into the mortal world.

Shi Jiu stared at the three-way King Crab legs and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"

Jiang Fu sat across from Shi Jiu.

He explained with a smile, "Three-way King Crab... steamed, scallion and ginger stir-fried, and steamed egg."

There were only crab legs here.

So all three dishes had been made with crab legs.

Shi Jiu blinked. "King Crab?"

Jiang Fu nodded. "The Tier 1 Mutated Beast, Blue Abyss Emperor Crab. I caught it at the supermarket this morning."

He told Shi Jiu everything that had happened at the supermarket.

Then.

Jiang Fu said with some concern, "There's definitely something wrong with that Blue Ringed Octopus."

"Either it foresaw the alienation of the Blue Abyss Emperor Crab, or it caused the alienation itself!"

Shi Jiu sat upright.

She listened seriously until Jiang Fu finished speaking.

Only then did she reply unhurriedly, "The authorities will handle something like this properly. We don't need to worry about it."

Jiang Fu nodded.

Even a weakling like him could see that something was wrong.

The authorities were such a massive organization, protecting the territory of Xia Country.

They could surely discover and resolve the problem as well.

Jiang Fu said somewhat impatiently, "Hurry and try it... See how my cooking is!"

Hearing this, Shi Jiu picked up her chopsticks.

She picked up a piece of the Sweet and Sour Ribs she had been longing for and put it in her mouth.

In an instant.

Shi Jiu's expression seemed to freeze slightly.

Then, she let out a faint sigh.

Jiang Fu grew nervous. "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

Shi Jiu held her chopsticks and stared at Jiang Fu without blinking.

"It's not that it isn't tasty. It's just too delicious."

"It's just that I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat such delicious Sweet and Sour Ribs again."

There was a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Jiang Fu was confused. "Why wouldn't you be able to eat them? I can make them."

Cooking Skill Multiply by Ten was only temporary.

He could secretly practice and improve his basic skill before multiplying it by ten again.

His cooking skills would only grow exponentially.

Shi Jiu picked up a Crystal Shrimp and put it in her mouth.

Oh no.

This one's even better!

Was Jiang Fu's Sequence the Fishing Fanatic or the God of cooking?

Shi Jiu said indistinctly, "You can't possibly keep letting me impose on you here."

Jiang Fu said instinctively, "You're not imposing."

"There are so many rooms here that I can't even fill them all myself."

There was a hint of anticipation in Shi Jiu's voice. "Are you saying I can continue living here?"

Jiang Fu nodded. "Of course!"

"You said you'd be my backer and protect me, didn't you?"

Shi Jiu smiled. "All right. I'll protect you."

"But I'm very poor. I can't afford the rent."

Jiang Fu muttered, "Talking about rent makes us sound like strangers."

Then, he handed Shi Jiu the Access Card he had applied for that morning.

"This is an Access Card. With it, you can enter and leave the residential area freely."

Shi Jiu took the card and asked blankly, "When did you apply for this?"

Jiang Fu chuckled. "During the big cleanup this morning..."

At that time, he still hadn't been sure whether Shi Jiu wanted to live here.

So he hadn't felt comfortable giving it to her.

Shi Jiu put the Access Card somewhere close to her body.

Then she picked up another King Crab leg. "When are you planning to go back to school?"

Jiang Fu was stunned. "Go to school?"

Shi Jiu said solemnly, "Yes, go to school."

"Schools are one of the few places in this world where you can obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost."

"Knowledge, common sense, cultivation techniques, martial skills, and resources can all be obtained at school."

As she spoke, she picked up a King Crab leg.

She nibbled at it in small bites.

At the same time, she said indistinctly, "Cultivation can't be done behind closed doors. You need someone to guide you and broaden your horizons."

"Of course, you can also choose to join the Martial Artist Guild, the Aristocratic Conglomerates, or one of the various Martial Arts Halls."

"However, going to those places and accepting their training is equivalent to signing away your freedom."

Hearing Shi Jiu's words.

Jiang Fu was confused for a moment.

Then he quickly understood.

Now that he had obtained the Vitality Pill.

It was time to make plans for his future.

"What about you?"

Jiang Fu looked at Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu's gaze had remained fixed on Jiang Fu the entire time.

"I'm going to Tianhuang Martial Arts University."

Tianhuang Martial Arts University.

The undisputed number-one Martial Arts University in Xia Country!

Moreover, Jiang Fu noticed.

She had said "go," not "take the entrance exam."

"Then I'll go to the number-one Martial Arts University too."

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal."

Shi Jiu lowered her head and picked up another piece of Sweet and Sour Ribs.

The sweet and sour flavor made the corners of her eyes curve involuntarily.

Jiang Fu watched Shi Jiu.

A feeling arose in his heart...

...that he had somehow caught Shi Jiu.

Outside the entrance of Blue Shore Manor Residential Area.

A man in a suit, carrying a Briefcase.

Walked toward the entrance of Blue Shore Manor Residential Area.

But the instant he stepped through the gate.

An invisible barrier suddenly appeared and sent his entire body flying back.

It was the protective system of Blue Shore Manor Residential Area.

It was not particularly strong.

An ordinary Martial Artist could break through it with a little effort.

However.

Doing so would trigger the security alarm of Blue Shore Manor Residential Area.

That would draw the attention of the residential area's security guards.

The man was stunned for a moment. "What's going on?"

He instinctively looked at the Access Card in his hand.

"I clearly brought the Access Card. Why was I still stopped outside?"

Unwilling to give up.

The man walked toward the entrance again.

As expected, he was once more blocked outside by the defensive barrier.

The man grew anxious.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Brother Wu, the Access Card you gave me seems to have stopped working. I can't get through the entrance of Blue Shore Manor Residential Area."

Old Wu's brows knitted tightly on the other end.

"Wait a moment."

Old Wu held his phone.

He hurried toward Guo Fangdong's ward.

The three members of the Guo Family had been placed in three different Senior VIP Wards.

At this time.

Guo Fangdong's blood pressure had already dropped slightly.

Although it was still at an astonishing level.

With the suppression of his own Blood Energy, along with interference from external equipment.

Guo Fangdong was no longer suffering as badly as before.

Just as Guo Fangdong was closing his eyes to rest God.

Old Wu pushed the door open and entered.

His brows were tightly furrowed. "Old Guo, did you give us the wrong Access Card?"

"My man is holding that Access Card, but he can't get through the entrance of the residential area at all."

Guo Fangdong opened his eyes.

He was slightly stunned at first. "He can't get in?"

Old Wu turned on the speakerphone.

A man's voice immediately came through the phone.

"I've tried several times just now, but the protective barrier of the residential area blocked me every time. The Access Card didn't react at all."

Hearing this.

Guo Fangdong immediately realized what had happened.

His blood pressure shot up violently.

Blood sprayed from his nostrils like two fountains.

"That wretched bastard! That wretched bastard!!"

"How dare he!!! How dare he cancel my residential access authorization!!!"

The Access Card would not stop working.

Unless the residential access authorization had been canceled.

And the only person with the authority to cancel the residential access authorization was Jiang Fu!

In his fury.

His blood pressure soared.

Guo Fangdong instantly became a human fountain.

Nearly yellow, viscous blood sprayed all over Old Wu.

Old Wu: "..."

He hurriedly pressed the call button beside the bed, then fled out of the room as fast as he could.

Just as Old Wu was cleaning the blood off himself.

The speakerphone rang again.

"Brother Wu! That Jiang Fu brat came out and led someone inside!"

"From what I heard, it seemed to be... picking up some package?!"

Old Wu's eyes lit up.

"A package? Could it be a delivery?"

"If it was a delivery..."
