Poverty for scholars, wealth for martial artists.
Martial Artists are indeed raised from money-spending golden dolls.
"During the potential class time, Du Jingās Book ventured into the wetland for more than ten days each month. It lasted for over half a year, with nearly two billion spent, only for you to surpass him. Do you think heās not angry?
"Moreover, there were five or six instances when Du Jingās Book almost died in the wetland. How can he swallow this bitter pill?"
Xu Baiyan sighed.
Du Jingās Book, this boy, is also a tragedy.
"Wow, Du Jingās Book spent two billion, then how much money did you make, sister!"
Su Yue exclaimed.
"Make money, my ass. There are still installment payments not yet paid off.
"Wuda is different from the potential class. Now you no longer have unlimited resources tilted from the education bureau. When the time comes, youāll understand how much money it costs.
"If you get seriously injured in your next trip to the wetland, just the cost of recuperating for half a year is enough to bankrupt you, spending over tens of millions.
"Of course, the gains from going to the wetland can sometimes be abundant, and there are many times you can strike it rich!"
Xu Baiyan sighed and said.
"Doesnāt the Ministry of Education cover Martial Artistsā expenses?"
Su Yue also sighed.
"Does the Ministry of Education need to clean up after you?
"How many Martial Artists are there in Divine Land? If resources were distributed uniformly by the government, how would they divide?
"Based on Qi Blood strength, or average distribution? Why should those Qi and Blood Martial Artists with no combat power take any?
"That would throw the world into chaos."
Xu Baiyan sneered.
"It could be calculated by merits!"
Su Yue suggested.
"Yeah, thatās indeed how itās being calculated now.
"Whatever you can fish out from the wetland, you can fairly sell to the government. The government will calculate the credits, not a penny short, and might even give you a discount when you spend.
"Qi and Blood Martial Artists who dare not go to the wetland should get less resources, thatās already quite fair.
"You should be figuring out how to become stronger, instead of worrying about the government. The Divine Cabinet has more headaches than you do."
As he spoke, Xu Baiyan opened the backpack.
"This is a life paper, carry it with you. If you die in the wetland, I will receive the message here.
"This life paper is a consumable. Each time you go to the wetland, no matter who you team up with, remember to leave each otherās life paper with your teammates.
"If you sacrifice yourself, the life paper will wilt, serving as a notification method for teammates, preventing everyone from risking their lives to look for a corpse.
"If your teammate goes missing and the life paper hasnāt wilted, try to come up with a way to save them, but ensure your own safety first."
Xu Baiyan took out a piece of purple paper and handed it to Su Yue.
Then Su Yue cut his finger, letting his own blood drip on it.
Xu Baiyan also has an identical life paper, allowing mutual perception between them.
In theory, in a team, the captain usually manages everyoneās life paper.
But there are special cases, like when two people have an exceptionally good relationship, they can form an additional life paper link.
In this case, it was obvious the captain was too lazy to manage Su Yueās life paper, so only Xu Baiyan held it; Su Yue was just tagging along to gain experience, considered a freeloader.
"I have to return to North Wu first. This week, you must practice invisibility tactics to perfection. Going to the wetland is no joke, especially since this timeās destination is the fifth district, quite far from the fortress.
"Damn it, I donāt even know what Iām doing, letting you go to such a dangerous place!
"Remember, do not reveal your identity. That kid Du Jingās Book harbors a grudge and wants to kill you now. If he plays any tricks in the wetland, I canāt protect you!"
Xu Baiyan shook his head and left directly.
"Sister, rest assured, I definitely wonāt let myself be exposed.
"King Goujian of Yue, thatās me!"
Su Yue nodded firmly.
Enduring humiliation, bending and stretching, this is a necessary quality for a strong person.
No choice.
How could I be unwilling to lose 6 million in three days!
million, huh.
All the merit I did for Cengyan City only got a few hundred thousand in bonuses.
Expensive.
Being a Martial Artist is indeed costly.
...
Five days later!
In the middle of the night!
Su Yue finally mastered the invisibility tactics.
Even when he brandished the quality blade technique now, no lightning would leak out.
Thinking about it brought tears to his eyes.
Su Yue underestimated the tyrannical nature of the platinum bone elephant; at the beginning, it was all lightning and thunder, even scaring himself.
No wonder many prodigies die prematurely in the wetland; seeing a creature emitting lightning, they couldnāt help but investigate, and if it was an enemy, theyād destroy it with one strike.
Fortunately!
After five days and nights of sleepless hard training, the invisibility tactics have reached perfection.
Whoosh!
Su Yue firmly stomped the ground.
Crack!
Crack!
Two crisp sounds in succession, he overlooked the nightscape of Cengyan City.
Whoosh!
The quality blade technique slashed out a stunning blade radiance, flashing away.
Dead steps, double echoes, without needing Gong Lingās arrows anymore.
The quality blade technique is now proficient!
The Cengyan City governmentās E-class alloy blade feels just right.
The blade is not long, not two fingers wide, roughly the size of an arm.
Perfectly longer than a dagger, yet perfectly concealed in the sleeve.
...
Available diligent points: 3911
Diligence counter:
1: Sleep Waiver
2: The Price of Love (Next use, costs 1300 diligence points)
3: Save Your Dog Life
4: Difference Between Human and Ghost
5: Stealthy Invisibility
Qi Blood Value: 42 cards
...
These days constantly using Sleep Waiver, rising and falling, ultimately failing to return to 4000.
Reflected on the 500 diligence points wasted on Stealthy Invisibility, Su Yue felt heart pain.
Damn man, wishing you an entire life of three seconds.
Thereās always a feeling that somehow the Qi Blood has enhanced significantly, why not test it again?
Su Yue went home, found a tester.
During this period, Su Yue did not continue taking Qi Blood Pills, focusing mainly on cultivating tactics.
