"Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. Xiao Wu, look at your sister, then look at yourself. When are you going to bring someone home for me to meet?" Mother Yang asked expectantly.
"I don't want to get married right now..." Yang Wu looked dumbfounded. How did this even get dragged into a discussion about him?
"What kind of thing is that to say? Whether you get married isn't a matter of whether you want to. It's something you have to do!" Mother Yang said solemnly.
"Things weren't good at home before, so I didn't force you."
"But now that things are better, even if you won't think about yourself, you should at least think about me and your father. I'm still waiting to hold my grandson, you know?"
Yang Li covered her mouth and snickered from the side, while Yang Wu felt bitter inside.
His parents' views were indeed overly traditional. They valued carrying on the family line more than life itself.
If Yang Wu dared say he would never marry, Mother Yang would probably beat him with a stick.
"Cough, cough. I'm only twenty-five. What's the rush?" Yang Wu argued. "Like my father—didn't he only marry my mother at twenty-eight?"
"Because we married late, you need to marry early." Mother Yang looked serious. "Marry early, and you'll have children sooner."
"Besides, I heard that the stronger a Warrior is, the harder it is for them to have children. Listen to me..."
"Yang Wu!" Fire Cannon Chen Gu's shout came from outside.
"My teammates are calling me, so I'll be going." Yang Wu immediately brightened and slipped away. "It's not that I won't marry. I just don't need to rush."
Just find some random wife?
That was basically impossible... At the very least, he had to find her pleasing to the eye, right?
Besides, he had too many secrets. He had to find someone suitable!
HR Alliance Mall.
"Come on, Luo Feng, Yang Wu. Let's sit at the bar next door and wait for the captain and the others to arrive," Chen Gu said, looking at Yang Wu and Luo Feng behind him.
"I haven't met the captain yet. I wonder what he's like." Luo Feng smiled faintly while carefully observing the HR Alliance Mall.
Yang Wu, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and another team member, Zhang Ke, sat down one after another on the sofa.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?" the server asked with a slight bow and a smile.
"Tie Guan Yin!" Chen Gu said directly.
"Pu'er Tea, with a hint of jasmine!" Zhang Ke also ordered a cup of tea.
Yang Wu knew Fire Cannon Chen Gu and Zhang Ke well. At Limit Hall, these two Veteran Warriors often drank alcohol.
The reason they were drinking tea this time was that the Wilderness Area was extremely dangerous. They couldn't be careless when entering it, nor could they allow drinking to cause trouble.
"I'll have a cup of Tie Guan Yin, too." Luo Feng smiled.
"Pu'er." Yang Wu spoke calmly.
[Congratulations, Host. You obtained a cup of Pu'er Tea through a legitimate transaction. Would you like to activate Ten Thousand Times Amplification?]
The tea arrived soon. Yang Wu remained calm, because he had encountered this sort of amplification many times over the past two months.
He had never amplified tea leaves before, though. He normally never drank tea.
But since it could be amplified ten thousand times, Yang Wu naturally wouldn't pass up the opportunity. In any case, amplification cost him nothing.
[Ten Thousand Times Amplification of Pu'er Tea successful. Congratulations, Host. You obtained the Lowest-grade Pu'er Dao Comprehension Tea.]
"Hm?" Yang Wu was stunned.
He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run.
Thus, he could tell at a glance what this so-called Pu'er Dao Comprehension Tea did.
That was precisely why Yang Wu was so shocked.
After making a simple comparison between himself and Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, Yang Wu had discovered that his talent and comprehension were indeed fairly ordinary.
Talent was easy enough to resolve, but he had always been worried about his comprehension.
Over the past half month, it wasn't as if he hadn't thought of ways to solve the problem, but he had never managed to.
Yet this unexpected opportunity had actually given him a pleasant surprise.
"People say drinking tea cultivates the mind and nourishes the spirit. I didn't expect that to be true?" Yang Wu's eyes lit up, and he took a sip of the amplified Pu'er Dao Comprehension Tea.
Quiet music echoed through the hall. It was a piece played on a flute, though with Yang Wu's taste, he couldn't recognize what song it was.
The flute's notes were sometimes melodious and soothing, and sometimes swift and nimble.
Combined with the effects of the Dao Comprehension Tea, it seemed to leave Yang Wu's entire mind feeling much clearer.
Yang Wu browsed through the amplified Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms, Martial Warrior Basic Movement Technique, and True Nine-layered Thunder Blade in his consciousness.
He clearly felt that his comprehension speed at that moment was slightly faster than normal.
One word: exhilarating!
This was only ordinary Pu'er, yet it already had such an effect. It made Yang Wu consider buying tea leaves that were more expensive and more valuable.
"You guys chat first. I'm going to buy something." Yang Wu casually placed his backpack, shield, saber, and other items on the sofa, then rose with a smile and walked toward the bar.
Behind the bar, the manager was looking down at the supplies of alcohol, tea leaves, and other goods.
When he saw Yang Wu approaching, he revealed a smile.
"Give me a few cakes of Pu'er Tea—the most expensive kind you have," Yang Wu said directly.
"The most expensive Pu'er Tea costs one million per cake." The manager smiled.
"Buy it... Give me two cakes." Yang Wu's mouth twitched. "And a simple tea set."
He had long heard that the "bubble" surrounding tea leaves was huge, but he hadn't expected it to be this huge.
However, to Yang Wu, the value of the amplified Pu'er Tea leaves was definitely far more than one million.
Thus, Yang Wu gritted his teeth and bought two cakes.
"That'll be two million. Will you be paying by transfer or card?" The manager's face had already creased into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
These days, a sucker like Yang Wu was hard to come by.
After Yang Wu transferred the money, he successfully obtained two cakes of Pu'er Tea.
[Congratulations, Host. You obtained two cakes of Pu'er Tea through a legitimate transaction. Would you like to activate Ten Thousand Times Amplification?] [Ten Thousand Times Amplification of Pu'er successful. Congratulations, Host. You obtained Lower-grade Pu'er Dao Comprehension Tea.]
Perhaps the HR Alliance had made a huge profit, but Yang Wu would never lose out!
After buying the tea leaves, Yang Wu returned to the sofa where Luo Feng and the others were sitting.
"Yang Wu, did you buy the most expensive Pu'er Tea?" Chen Gu asked speechlessly.
"Drinking tea can cultivate the mind and nourish the spirit. Improving one's state of mind is beneficial to cultivation." Yang Wu smiled faintly.
"You got scammed, didn't you?" Luo Feng's mouth twitched.
In Luo Feng and the others' eyes, Yang Wu had definitely been fooled. Otherwise, why would a Warrior buy Pu'er worth a million?
Drink tea?
Wasn't goji berry tea better?
It was cheaper and could also nourish the body.
What use was drinking tea?
Apart from showing off, it seemed to be useless.
"Uh..." Yang Wu cast a subtle glance at Luo Feng and the others. He could tell at once that no one believed what he had said, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
As someone who truly knew the inside story, Yang Wu naturally understood that what he had said was indeed the truth.
However, Luo Feng and the others had long since become immune to the brainwashing of marketing accounts. They clearly thought Yang Wu had been fooled senseless.
Yang Wu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In this day and age, no one actually believed the truth.
