System Coins Are Urgently Needed

Lin Pangpang rejected the idea of using Blood Vitality Infusion on the meat.

He instead picked up two sausages and used 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.

After doing that, the spiritual power 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.

"Come on, try my big sausage~"

"Damn it, can you stop emphasizing those two words? It just sounds weird~" Su Wuming grumbled, but his hands were honest as he took the sausages and put one of them into his mouth.

The next second, he felt a warm current rise within him. The blood throughout his body began circulating, and his hunger vanished instantly.

Holy crap!

Nice!

Pangpang-brand sausages—sweeping away hunger, endless energy!

He still had one sausage left in his hand, but he did not eat it. He added it to what he had eaten earlier and calculated the result in his mind:

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 team donkey!

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

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

"Uh... neither of those two seemed to have ended well. 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. Eat first, and when we get back, make more of these whenever you have time."

"Do you take me for a production team donkey?!"

"That's not right. This is indirectly helping your cultivation too, okay?"

As the two talked, 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 that space himself. It hurt a little, but it was worth it.

The space was five cubic meters, enough for him to use for now. If it became insufficient later, he could upgrade and expand it with System Coins. One System Coin equaled one cubic meter, which was a great deal.

However, that brought him another huge problem: earning System Coins.

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

He had to get fifty System Coins within a week.

Because there would be an assessment at school one week later.

After the assessment, the students would be divided into groups for special training, which would determine their future direction—whether they would pursue academics or martial arts. Of course, the school only provided suggestions. The final choice was up to the students themselves.

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

The task was daunting...

Speaking of cultivation, Su Wuming was practically speechless. Limited by his aptitude, he had painstakingly cultivated the Dao Guidance Method for half a year after transmigrating, only to reach Black Iron Zero-Star. He had made no progress at all.

From that alone, he had long realized that his awakening might be doomed, yet he had still clung to hope. In the end, he would have to rely on the system to turn things around.

Also, Lin Pangpang could use his ability not only because he was Black Iron Four-Star, but because the instructors had already taught the basic usage methods of almost every type of ability except the Power Type.

In fact, when many students cultivated the Dao Guidance Method 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 fallen far behind everyone else.

Catching up within a week was almost impossible.

He could only take a risk and gamble on it.

That's right!

Su Wuming planned to go out and hunt Demon Beasts. Other than hunting Demon Beasts to obtain System Coins, the system had not triggered any other missions so far. He could only choose this path.

Just as the thought arose and he began making plans, the system notification suddenly rang out.

[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.

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

First: have Lin Pangpang help him request leave.

Since both of them were orphans, they attended parent-teacher meetings themselves. They could naturally have someone else request leave for them, and the school allowed it.

After awakening, some students from wealthy and influential families had long since hired private tutors, arranged leave with the school, and begun a round of special training at home in advance.

Also, Lin Pangpang would have to handle their starch sausage stall at the night market by himself. Of course, all the money earned would go to him.

Second: have Lin Pangpang make him a fixed amount of rations every day when he had time.

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

Third: intensify his cultivation...

After all, he was only Black Iron Zero-Star. Although the Power Type had combat power in the early stages, who could refuse Armament Haki, which was formed by converting spiritual power through cultivation?

The Power Type differed from other systems in this regard. Other systems all had a Dantian specifically for storing spiritual power, while the Power Type stored absorbed spiritual power throughout the body to strengthen it.

Now, Su Wuming differed from the other Power Types as well. Aside from strengthening his body, he could use Armament Haki for hardening.

Otherwise, if he relied on flesh alone, no matter how strong he was, he could not withstand lightning strikes and flames. He would turn into charcoal in minutes.

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

The reason was simple: he did not want to watch Su Wuming become a pile of Demon Beast shit.

With no other choice, Su Wuming had to show him his ability and briefly explain what he could currently do.

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

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

"No..."

"I fucking want to trade abilities with you! I'd be willing even if it meant Grade-F Aptitude!"

Yeah right! Pangpang, you know nothing about my power.

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

You bastard are definitely thinking: Where is Diao Chan? Diao Chan is on my 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 and long kind. One pack could make quite a lot, making them very cost-effective.

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

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

Because Su Wuming thought that if Pangpang learned he also had Third Gear, which let him inflate himself larger, he would probably explode on the spot.
