49. Puke--

049

The hospital had said he needed Vitality Pills back then.

At that time, Jiang Fu's qi and blood had been scattered.

Vitality Pills could indeed treat the symptom.

But Jiang Fu's real illness was a depleted origin and exhausted potential.

What Shi Jiu called the 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill' was what could truly solve this problem.

But judging by her expression...

That kind of pill must be extremely rare.

Shi Jiu looked at Jiang Fu and said, word by word, "Don't worry. I will find the 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill'!"

Her gaze was firm.

She neither mentioned how precious the 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill' was.

Nor did she say what price she would have to pay.

Jiang Fu looked at Shi Jiu.

He couldn't help it. He gently reached out.

And patted her head.

Shi Jiu's body stiffened.

All the murderous aura and killing intent that had filled her vanished in that instant.

She stared blankly at Jiang Fu, at a loss.

Jiang Fu awkwardly withdrew his hand.

He picked up the fishing rod lying on the coffee table.

"Uh, actually, there's no rush... You said it yourself, my sequence is pretty ridiculous."

"Maybe one day I'll just fish out a 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill'."

Multiply the probability of fishing out a 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill' by ten.

That should be about right...

He still had four Abyss Fruits on him.

In a few days, when he felt his luck was about right, he'd eat another one and try.

Shi Jiu looked at Jiang Fu.

Then she looked down at the High-grade Heavenly Rank Cloud Patterned Gloves on her hands.

...Yeah, that made sense, actually.

"By the way."

Jiang Fu said thoughtfully, "Are there any pills with properties similar to the 'Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill'... weaker ones are fine too."

Shi Jiu sat down beside Jiang Fu.

She frowned, thinking for a moment.

"Lesser Origin Pill!"

"Its medicinal power is similar to the Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill, but far inferior."

"It can't fully heal your injuries..."

Jiang Fu's eyes lit up.

There really was one!

Then what was there to worry about.

Multiply by ten.

Shi Jiu continued, "However, Lesser Origin Pills are officially produced pills. You need to buy them with official Contribution Points."

Jiang Fu was taken aback. "Contribution Points?"

Shi Jiu nodded. "Contribution Points are specially set up by the authorities to encourage martial artists to go to the Wilderness Area and hunt Mutated Beasts."

"They can be exchanged for official exclusive items that aren't sold on the open market."

"The way to earn Contribution Points is by hunting Mutated Beasts."

"After selling them through the Martial Artist Guild or other official channels, besides getting money, you also get a corresponding Contribution Point reward."

"One Tier 1 Mutated Beast gives one Contribution Point."

"A Tier 2 Mutated Beast gives ten Contribution Points."

"A Tier 3 Mutated Beast gives a hundred... and so on."

Jiang Fu had already taken out his phone and opened his bank account.

Account Balance: 9,236,549.33 yuan.

...Those Combat Suits from yesterday sold for three million total.

The payment arrived this morning.

And below the account balance, there was also a Contribution Points balance.

100 points.

The Contribution Points from the Red-tailed Rat and Silver Moon Wolf sold the day before yesterday were split fifty-fifty with Shi Jiu too.

Jiang Fu's eyes suddenly lit up bright.

"Is it really that simple?"

Whether he could fish out a Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill was another matter.

After all, the randomness was too strong.

But as for these Lesser Origin Pills, Jiang Fu could totally buy them wholesale from the official sources!

Not potent enough? Multiply by Ten to make up for it!

Wasn't it just hunting Mutated Beasts?

He could turn one Mutated Beast into a hundred... or even more parts!

Shi Jiu saw Jiang Fu's face full of excitement.

He couldn't help tugging at his sleeve. "Xiao Jiang Jiang, I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet..."

Jiang Fu's body stiffened.

He stared at Shi Jiu in shock. "What did you call me?"

Shi Jiu blinked. "...Xiao Fu Fu?"

Jiang Fu: "..."

He coughed, his old face inexplicably reddening.

"Hunting Mutated Beasts, earning Contribution Points—I'll do it myself."

"Consider it training for entering Tianhuang Martial Arts University."

Tianhuang Martial Arts University.

As Xia Country's top martial arts university.

The admission requirements, besides meeting the standards for Blood Qi and Spirit Power, also included a record of combat against Mutated Beasts.

Now it seemed the measure of that record was Contribution Points.

Contribution Points couldn't be transferred; they could only be issued through official institutions like the Martial Artist Guild.

Of course, there were probably other rules involved, but Jiang Fu didn't know them.

Shi Jiu nodded slightly.

"Alright, I'll help you find the Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill—we'll work both angles."

"Also, don't rush into the Wilderness Area for now... Over the next couple of days, I'll give you some special training first."

Jiang Fu instantly recalled what he'd encountered in the Wilderness Area.

That Azure Flame Owl dropping from the sky, and the Blood-Eyed Golden Tiger lurking in the wild.

Jiang Fu's Spirit Power hadn't even detected their presence.

He really did need to train!

Shi Jiu had already taken out paper and a pen.

He leaned over the coffee table and started drafting a training plan for Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu watched Shi Jiu's handsome profile.

He mused, "Hey, by the way, if you really find the Heavenly Treasure Origin Pill, don't buy it right away."

"Take me to see what that pill actually looks like."

Shi Jiu looked up. "Then we'll join forces and snatch it together?"

Jiang Fu: "...Sure."

Afternoon.

"Brain Intensity multiplied by ten."

"Brain Capacity multiplied by ten."

"Spirit Power multiplied by ten."

"Spirit Power intensity multiplied by ten."

"Spirit Power coverage radius multiplied by ten."

"Duration: until the next cultivation of the Star Gazing Chart on a Rainy Night."

The next instant.

Jiang Fu's Spirit Power went from 155 to 1550.

His Spirit Power coverage radius also reached 150 meters.

Then.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu changed into their school uniforms and headed toward the school.

Lunch break had just ended.

The senior three building was in chaos.

Jiang Fu stopped.

"Oh, right. You go back to the classroom first. I'm going to find Teacher Xu."

Shi Jiu nodded. "Okay."

All of Jiang Fu's hospital expenses had been covered by Teacher Xu.

Aside from the previously refunded VIP Ward fee, plus the follow-up nutrition and medical costs.

He still owed Teacher Xu roughly one hundred twenty thousand.

Teacher Xu didn't have it easy either.

This money had to be repaid.

Following his memory.

Jiang Fu quickly arrived at the homeroom teacher's office.

But Teacher Xu wasn't there.

Jiang Fu released his Spirit Power.

And swept it across the school in search.

Still, he found no trace of Teacher Xu.

Jiang Fu frowned.

"Has he not come in yet?"

That shouldn't be.

Given how dedicated Teacher Xu was, with a senior three class.

He practically lived at the school.

"I'll ask back in class."

Senior Three, Class 14.

The students in the class were all whispering to each other, chatting up a storm.

Someone spotted Jiang Fu coming back.

And greeted him very naturally.

As if his return wasn't surprising at all.

Jiang Fu's seat.

Was in the front row, middle position.

At the same desk as Zhang Qilin.

But right now, someone else was already sitting beside Zhang Qilin.

Seeing Jiang Fu come back.

A flicker of awkwardness crossed Zhang Qilin's face.

But the next moment, he turned his head away.

Pretending not to see him.

Jiang Fu couldn't be bothered with him.

He walked straight toward the back of the classroom.

There were plenty of empty seats in the back rows.

Shi Jiu sat in the second-to-last row by the window.

The seat next to her was empty.

Right now, she wasn't on her phone.

Instead, she was bent over, continuing to draft a training plan for Jiang Fu.

"Jiang Fu!"

Right at that moment.

A somewhat impatient female voice rang out.

"You broke your promise. You didn't bring back what I asked for."

"So between us, this is the end."

"Please don't come bothering me anymore from now on."

Han Ruobing stood before Jiang Fu.

Her arms crossed, the disgust in her eyes undisguised.

As her words fell.

Shi Jiu in the back row lifted her head and couldn't help but look at Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu stared at the Han Ruobing before him.

A certain dead stench suddenly came back to life.

Landing a powerful spinning kick on Jiang Fu.

And then--

"Ugh--"
