Chapter 31 Canteen (3 more updates) - Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Here..."

The clothes were handed over, and Fang Yu took them, noticing that Lin Wotian’s hands were trembling.

This is a serious illness.

Don’t worry! Old senior, I will inherit your martial arts! You can pass on peacefully!

Fang Yu was secretly planning how to create an opportunity for Lin Wotian to teach him some martial arts moves.

He couldn’t possibly use a threat like a Neon player saying, "Lin Wotian, you wouldn’t want your nephew to get into trouble, right?"

It had to be a softer approach. What if the Thousand Blood Monk gets desperate and unleashes his power to take me down in seconds?

Take it slow, take it slow, it’s a long game. The Sweeping Monk isn’t dead yet.

"Nephew... about last time, that... what was it... the cemetery, have you picked it out yet?"

Lin Wotian and Lin Wu were chatting about family matters, but the content was quite outlandish.

Lin Wu’s eyes immediately turned red.

"No, the family said... we’ll find another doctor to have a look at you."

"It’s incurable... incurable cough... cough cough cough!!"

-1.

The damage popped up again.

This is bad. At this rate, the Sweeping Monk will meet his end in three to five days.

Your secret techniques, where are they? Don’t you want to find an excellent successor to pass them on to first? Like me, right in front of you!

Fang Yu was inwardly anxious, making faces at the Sweeping Monk, but sadly no one paid him any attention.

"Second Uncle!?"

"It’s nothing... no other matters, I’m going back to lie down."

"...Alright, you go and rest."

Lin Wu walked out and noticed that Fang Yu was standing still.

"Diao Deyi?"

Fang Yu craned his neck, looking inside.

"Has your second uncle... always been in the storeroom?"

"He’s usually there, but he hasn’t been managing affairs for a long time. It’s another uncle who’s responsible for daily management, and today it’s not his shift."

"Oh..."

Fang Yu withdrew his gaze.

No opportunity at all, the Sweeping Monk doesn’t talk to me.

Can’t he see how excellent I am right here?

Hmm... time to whisper in Lin Wu’s ear.

Holding the clothes, he followed Lin Wu out.

Fang Yu pretended to casually say: "Ah~ that set of swordsmanship feels much more practiced. I should be close to being a beginner, just a matter of three to five days."

"That fast?! Diao Deyi, your martial arts talent is maxed out!"

Exactly, exactly! Your idea is spot on, hurry up and tell your second uncle, Diao Deyi is invincible in talent!

"Not good enough!" Fang Yu said with an unsatisfied look: "Master underestimates my aptitude. These martial arts are not enough for me to learn. What I want is stronger martial arts! More powerful moves!"

"You’re incredible, my talents are dull, the one martial art our master taught me takes months to barely get started," Lin Wu sighed.

This mood isn’t right.

Why direct the topic towards yourself? Think more about your second uncle, your second uncle!

"Speaking of which..." Fang Yu elongated his tone: "I’m quite envious of you, having a second uncle. I’ve never even met my parents; since I can remember, it has always been my elder brother and elder sister relying on each other. Now my elder brother has disappeared... sigh..."

"That happened? What’s your elder brother’s name? I can help you check."

Fang Yu: ...

Is the focus on finding my elder brother’s whereabouts? I don’t even know what he looks like, how should I know his name.

The important thing is the family element in my sentence! The family element!

"Why aren’t you speaking? Diao Deyi? Don’t be afraid, my family has a bit of influence in Tianyuan Town, finding someone shouldn’t be a problem."

How did this awful topic get even deeper?

Fang Yu faked a pained expression: "No... my elder brother’s disappearance is very mysterious. I don’t want to drag others into it, I’ll investigate on my own!"

"It’s really no trouble, I’m not afraid of being implicated..."

"Don’t say anymore! If we’re martial brothers, then don’t help me!"

Seeing how Fang Yu was acting, Lin Wu really didn’t push further.

However, he noted the issue in his heart, planning to ask his family for resources later to help Diao Deyi with the search.

On the way back, Fang Yu tried to start a few conversations, but none were directed towards Lin Wu’s second uncle. The goose-headed Lin Wu thought Fang Yu was showing concern for him, feeling quite touched, almost going as far as to become sworn brothers of different sexes.

Clamber up!

You low EQ goose-headed, I don’t want to become brothers with you.

After returning to the Martial Arts Training Ground, he continued to practice swordsmanship for experience points.

The morning just flew by.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to player for diligently practicing [Yuan Body Two Zero Swordsmanship], proficiency +1.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to player for diligently practicing [Yuan Body Two Zero Swordsmanship], Experience Points +1.]

In total, he gained 2 points of proficiency and 1 point of Experience Points.

The conclusion is... torment!

This way of Martial Arts Training is not only inefficient but also particularly torturous.

Having enjoyed the days of instantly enhancing Martial Arts Techniques with one key, gaining 300 Experience Points with one swipe of the sword, suddenly going back to such life where one scribbles for half a day just for those few Experience Points, Fang Yu felt quite a big gap.

It was lunchtime.

Fang Yu went to the cafeteria.

Upon entering, he immediately saw a senior sitting closest to the door with a dense number of short blood bars popping out all over him.

[Heart Piercing Demon: 0.1/0.1.]

A bold idea popped into Fang Yu’s mind again.

Don’t tempt me!

If I really can’t bear it anymore, I’ll just go ’Bold demons, I want you to aid my cultivation!’

Suppressing the urge to throw a punch at that senior, Fang Yu silently proceeded inside the cafeteria.

It was not much different from a regular inn’s dining hall, with dozens of tables and chairs neatly arranged inside.

The space inside was quite large, but there weren’t many people.

And Fang Yu noticed...

At a glance, he saw that only a few people had Heart Piercing Demons popping out, which quickly disappeared.

They must have eaten the meatballs.

As for the others, he didn’t know what was going on.

There was something odd in Fang Yu’s mind as he went to line up for food.

That’s when he noticed.

Some people’s meals did not contain any meatballs at all.

Others, after receiving their meals, just kept the meatballs aside to save for later.

Very few people actually ate the meatballs right there in the cafeteria.

It was Fang Yu’s turn, and he directly showed his Identity Card.

He had found it after putting on the Sect’s clothes.

"Name."

"Diao Deyi."

Thud.

A meal, two meats, one vegetable, one soup, that was all.

The meatball was one of them.

[Heart Piercing Demon: 0.1/0.1.]

Eh?

Senior Mei didn’t take it directly?

Fang Yu was stunned.

"What are you looking at? Move along quickly after getting your meal! Don’t be in the way!"

Fang Yu glanced at the fat chef distributing the food, didn’t say anything, and silently walked away.

He found a corner spot, and Fang Yu looked at the wriggling lump of meat on the plate, and the bold idea surfaced once more.

Looking left and right, he picked up his chopsticks and forcefully stabbed them into the meatball.

No reaction.

He pulled out the chopsticks.

After a moment’s thought, Fang Yu looked at his right hand.

He slowly stretched it out, aimed at the meatball, and with force like the Five-Finger Mountain, slapped down hard!

Smack!

His hand was fiercely grabbed mid-air by someone and firmly fixed in place, unable to move even slightly!

"What are you doing?"

Fang Yu looked up.

[Shi Zhongmei: 150/150.]
