System Coins Are Urgently Needed

Lin Pangpang rejected the idea of infusing the meat with Blood Vitality Infusion.

He instead picked up two sausages and cast Blood Vitality Infusion. A layer of crimson light lit up around his hands, and under the pull of his will, the red glow slowly seeped into the two sausages.

Once he finished, the spiritual energy in Lin Pangpang's body was exhausted. At Black Iron Four-Star, this was already his limit.

The originally pale-red sausages had now turned blood-red, with a faint glow on their surface that made them look appetizing.

"Here, have a taste of my big sausage~"

"Damn, could you stop emphasizing those two words? It just sounds weird~" Su Wuming complained, but his hand honestly took the sausage and put one into his mouth.

The next second, he felt a warm current rise within him. His blood began to circulate through his body, and his hunger vanished instantly.

Holy crap!

What the hell!

Pangpang-brand sausages—wiping out hunger and bursting with vitality!

He still had one sausage left in his hand, but he did not eat it. After calculating it together with what he had eaten before, he came to an answer:

At this stage, two sausages like these were enough to fill him up.

In other words, after one battle, he only needed to consume two sausages. He was more economical than a production brigade's donkey!

"How is it? Did it work?" Lin Pangpang asked when he saw no reaction from him.

"It worked, it worked, it worked amazingly well! Pangpang, you're practically my Zhang Liang and Wen Ruo."

"Uh... those two people you mentioned seemed to have both met bad ends. Even though I'm second from the bottom in class, my history isn't bad..."

Su Wuming immediately waved a hand and cut him off. "Don't sweat the details. Go eat first, and make more of these for me whenever you have time after we get back."

"Do you take me for some production brigade donkey?!"

"That's not true. This is also indirectly helping you cultivate, okay?"

During their conversation, Lin Pangpang failed to notice that the remaining sausage in Su Wuming's hand suddenly vanished into thin air.

It had not completely disappeared. Su Wuming had simply put it into the System Space.

Of course, he had spent five System Coins to buy the space himself. It hurt a little, but it was worth it.

The space was five cubic meters large, enough for his current needs. If it became insufficient later, he could spend System Coins to upgrade and expand it. One System Coin equaled one cubic meter, which was a good deal.

However, this brought him face-to-face with another huge problem: earning System Coins.

His Rubber Sacred Body had not even fully unlocked Rubberization yet.

He had to get fifty System Coins within a week.

Because the school would hold an assessment one week later.

After the assessment, the students would be split into groups for special training, determining everyone's future path—whether they would pursue academics or martial cultivation. Of course, the school only gave recommendations. The final choice still rested with the students themselves.

By then, Su Wuming not only needed to unlock Rubberization, but also raise his cultivation to Black Iron Five-Star. That was the basic requirement.

What a daunting task...

Speaking of cultivation, Su Wuming was practically speechless. Limited by his aptitude, he had buried himself in cultivating the Dao Guidance Method for half a year after transmigrating here, only to reach Black Iron Zero-Star. He had not advanced at all.

From that alone, he had long realized that his awakening would probably be a bust. Yet he had still held onto hope, only to finally turn things around with the system.

Also, the reason Lin Pangpang could use his ability was not only because he was Black Iron Four-Star. Aside from the Strength-type, instructors had already taught the early-stage methods for using abilities in nearly every other type.

In fact, once many students cultivated the Dao Guidance Method to a certain point in the early stages, as their bodily potential was gradually developed and drawn out, they could already roughly infer what ability they would awaken. The blood test merely gave the final confirmation.

Although his aptitude was now Top-Tier Aptitude, he had still fallen far behind everyone else.

Trying to catch up within one week was nearly impossible.

He could only take a risk and gamble on it.

That's right!

Su Wuming planned to go out and hunt monsters. Besides killing monsters to earn System Coins, no other system missions had triggered so far. He could only take this path.

Just as the thought arose and he began formulating a plan, the system notification suddenly sounded.

[Mission: Heart of the Strong, kill 25 First-Order Monsters alone]

[Mission Reward: System Coins +25]

[Time: 7/7 days]

[Completion: 0/25]

Talk about getting a pillow the moment he felt sleepy. This system could actually read minds.

Whether he wanted to or not, he had to do it now. By the time they finished eating, Su Wuming had already made his plan.

First: have Lin Pangpang help him request leave.

Since they were both orphans, they naturally attended parent-teacher meetings themselves. Leave requests could be submitted by a proxy, and the school allowed it.

After awakening, some students from wealthy and influential families had already hired private instructors, requested leave from the school, and begun a round of special training at home ahead of time.

Also, the little starch sausage stall they ran at the night market would have to be handled by Lin Pangpang alone. Naturally, all the money it earned would belong to him.

Second: have Lin Pangpang make him a fixed amount of rations every day.

This was the most crucial part. As long as he had enough food, he would be an unkillable cockroach.

Third: step up his cultivation...

After all, he was only Black Iron Zero-Star. Though Strength-types possessed combat ability early on, who could resist Armament Haki, which was formed through the conversion of spiritual energy?

The Strength-type differed from the other systems in this regard. The other systems all had a dantian specifically for storing spiritual energy, while the Strength-type stored absorbed spiritual energy throughout the body to strengthen it.

But Su Wuming was now different even from other Strength-types. Besides strengthening his body, he could use Armament Haki to harden himself.

Otherwise, relying solely on his flesh, no matter how great his strength was, he could not withstand lightning strikes and flames. He would turn into charcoal in minutes.

After dinner, the two returned to the house they rented together. When Su Wuming proposed his plan, Lin Pangpang refused.

His reason was simple: he did not want to see Su Wuming turn into a pile of monster shit.

Left with no choice, Su Wuming showed him his ability and briefly explained what he could currently do.

However, when Lin Pangpang saw Su Wuming's arms and legs suddenly stretch several meters long, he was completely thrown off.

"Wuming, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"No..."

"I fucking want to trade abilities with you! I'd even be willing to take Class Ji aptitude!"

Uh... in your dreams! Pangpang, you know nothing about my power.

And! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

You bastard must be thinking: Where is Diao Chan? Diao Chan is on the waist!

I despise you!

Naturally, he only said those things in his heart. After all, he still needed Lin Pangpang to help make food.

In the end, Lin Pangpang agreed to Su Wuming's request with a face full of jealousy and reluctance.

As for food, Lin Pangpang told Su Wuming to buy spicy strips—the thin, long kind. One bag could make quite a lot, making them very cost-effective.

In reality, he was using the spicy strips to mock Su Wuming: you got longer, but you became a needle.

Su Wuming saw through all of it. After all, the two had grown up in the same orphanage, but he did not care.

Because Su Wuming thought that if Pangpang found out he also had a Third Gear ability that let him inflate himself by blowing air, he would probably explode on the spot.
