68: [Shenyuyuyan]
Seeing the data on the panel, Su Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
“It actually increased so much progress!”
“Haha!”
When the Minotaur BOSS's body dissipated earlier, he felt a huge warm current surge into his body,
but he didn't expect to improve so much!
He did some calculations.
Today, besides more than twenty small monsters, he only killed this big BOSS.
He didn't steal the kills for the three small BOSSes.
Calculating this way, the big BOSS probably increased his progress by at least thirty points.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Su Yuan was extremely satisfied… “The spoils of war dropped by the Minotaur Lord, you don’t need to share them with us; we didn’t contribute any effort.”
Qin Zijin handed the plate armor to Su Yuan.
“These are the fragment words dropped by the three small BOSSes. Counting them, that’s six thousand yuan!”
She also gave him all the fragment words she had just picked up.
“This…”
Su Yuan hesitated as he took them.
“…Alright!”
Since everyone wasn't short on money, Su Yuan didn't decline and put all the items away.
“While there’s still some time, let’s see if we can find another elite monster to train on.”
Everyone immediately cleaned up the battlefield.
Then they continued searching in the Gran Forest.
They occasionally killed a few lone magical beasts, and when everyone was about to descend the mountain,
they finally discovered another small BOSS territory.
It was the most difficult Dark Curse Cat Demon to deal with!
But this time, it was much easier to deal with, as Qin Zijin’s new fragment words finally came in handy.
「Fragment Words Name」: Sunken Fish and Falling Geese
「Fragment Words Rank」: blue
「Fragment Words Effect」: All living beings who see you smile will fall into a daze, the duration of which is determined by the Realm difference.
Fish that see it will forget to flap their fins and sink to the bottom, and geese that see it will forget to flap their wings and fall to the ground.
This is the 「Sunken Fish and Falling Geese」!
No wonder Su Yuan felt that this woman was even more beautiful when he saw Qin Zijin in the morning!
Fortunately, she didn't show him that kind of smile!
The Dark Curse Cat Demon fell into a daze because of this smile.
Given the Cat Demon BOSS's Rank, it could probably remain dazed for one or two seconds.
On the battlefield, things change in an instant!
One or two seconds was already enough to do many things!
Su Yuan directly used a 「Zero-Frame Startup」, striking the opponent with his halberd and blowing it apart.
“Another 11% progress, awesome!”
“Now, if I clear the remaining magical beasts in the Goblin Lair tomorrow, I’ll probably level up again!”
“Too fast! This leveling speed is truly too fast!”
Su Yuan was happy in his heart.
After clearing the Cat Demon BOSS territory, there wasn't much time left.
Everyone quickly descended the mountain.
When they exited the Secret Realm, they were just a little over time.
Overtime would mean an additional ticket fee, which wouldn't be worth it.
“Is everyone hungry? My treat today!”
Su Yuan called out.
Today, everyone accompanied him to fight the BOSS, and they didn't get any spoils of war.
So he might as well treat everyone to a meal!
“That’s great! I want to eat king crab!” Ye Zheng was the first to respond.
“You look like a king crab!”
Su Yuan rolled his eyes.
He took everyone to a buffet restaurant. There was no king crab, but frozen prawns were all-you-can-eat.
The ticket price wasn't cheap, and Su Yuan even bought one for Jukun.
He didn't dare to let him eat freely,
but in the end, he managed to eat back the cost of everyone's tickets.
After everyone finished eating and dispersed,
Su Yuan wasn't in a hurry to go home. It was finally the weekend,
and it was a good time to take care of a few accumulated tasks.
First, he needed to find a shop to sell his inventory of fragment words.
「Tongue Curling」 sold for two thousand, and 「Slow Recovery」 sold for thirty thousand.
“If I put them online, they might sell for a higher price, but it’s too much trouble.”
“Now, time must be spent wisely; not a single second can be wasted!”
Su Yuan convinced himself.
Then came the preparation of the thousand-year blood ginseng.
He originally wanted to refine it into a Medicinal Pill, but one issue was the success rate of forming a pill.
An Alchemist couldn't guarantee that every batch of Medicinal Pills would be successful.
The thousand-year blood ginseng was too precious!
Su Yuan was unwilling to bear the risk of failed Alchemy.
Secondly, there was the cost of Alchemy.
Besides the main ingredient, the thousand-year blood ginseng, many auxiliary ingredients also needed to be purchased, which was a considerable expense.
And the price for an Alchemist's service was also not cheap.
He had also inquired on the market.
An Alchemist with the red fragment words 「Alchemy Genius」 charged one hundred thousand for a single attempt, and didn't even guarantee success.
There was another charging method: no matter how many Medicinal Pills were produced in the end, the Alchemist would take one as payment.
If Su Yuan had to choose, he'd rather pay one hundred thousand!
One hundred thousand couldn't buy a single thousand-year blood ginseng Medicinal Pill.
But right now, he couldn't even afford one hundred thousand!
He was still spending money too lavishly.
However, he also decided that he wouldn't refine this Medicinal Pill for now. After processing and drying, he would slice it for his Older Sister to consume.
“I still need to continue synthesizing fragment words to sell and earn money!”
Being broke was too inconvenient.
Su Yuan counted the fragment words on him and then calculated the money he had.
He found a shop and bought a batch of fragment words fragments.
Now, in his space,
there were a total of twenty white fragment words fragments, which could synthesize five white fragment words.
Eight green fragment words fragments, which could synthesize two green fragment words.
Four blue fragment words fragments, which could synthesize one blue fragment words.
And one red fragment words fragment, which couldn't be synthesized.
“After all these fragment words are synthesized, I should be able to make another big sum!”
“And I need to pay special attention to Physique-type fragment words!”
Su Yuan thought this,
and hurried home, walked into his bedroom, and closed the door.
He took out the 「Luck Plus One」 spear and then synthesized all five white fragment words in one go.
The first four fragment words fragments were synthesized, and five options appeared.
Su Yuan chose 「Eight-Pack Abs」 from them.
「Fragment Words Name」: Eight-Pack Abs
「Fragment Words Rank」: white
「Fragment Words Effect」: No matter how much fat you have on your abdomen, it will be divided into eight orderly arranged packs… This fragment words definitely has immense appeal for some bodybuilders who care about their Physique.
It's estimated to sell for thirty to fifty thousand without a problem.
The second four white fragments were synthesized, with only three options.
But fortunately, the effects were all quite good.
Su Yuan chose 「Eloquent Sweet Talk」 from them.
「Fragment Words Name」: Eloquent Sweet Talk
「Fragment Words Rank」: white
「Fragment Words Effect」: Your language is more persuasive, making it easier for others to believe you.
“This fragment words can be sold to salespeople, or players, and the price should be around twenty to thirty thousand.”
...The third white fragment was synthesized, and luck exploded, bringing up a total of eight options.
And among them was a fragment words comparable to 「Little Brother Enhancement」—
「Fragment Words Name」: Prolong Life
「Fragment Words Rank」: white
「Fragment Words Effect」: Can extend Lifespan by one week.
One week is seven days!
An inch of time is an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time!
Question: How much money does it cost to buy seven days?
The value of this fragment words depends on how important the buyer's unfinished business is!
Seven days is neither long nor short,
and it's enough to do many more things!
Using seven days to go all out, perhaps one could Breakthrough their Realm and their Lifespan would increase again,
then they wouldn't have to die!
[Reporting on the blind date results: we went directly to eat, and after eating, we dispersed directly. The whole thing lasted less than an hour, truly a quick battle.]
[My anxiety and irritability from a few days ago now seem a bit excessive.]
[First, the restaurant I chose was really good. The environment and service, and I even got a booth with a group purchase. It was really, really suitable for a blind date.]
[This morning I just found out that this restaurant has vouchers; a 100 yuan voucher only costs 36, and you can stack up to 4. This means if you order 400 yuan worth of dishes, you only need to spend 150. So I planned to use the vouchers.]
[Because a reservation was needed, I added the customer service, who said I could scan a code to order in advance. I gave the code to the woman to let her order, but she didn't, asking me to. I ordered over three hundred yuan worth and asked for her opinion. Seeing no reply, I sent a group purchase for a double meal and let her choose.]
[She probably didn't know about the vouchers and chose the group purchase double meal… Actually, the dishes I ordered myself were a lot, and cheaper than the double meal… Although this restaurant looked quite classy in terms of environment and dishes, the taste was truly not commendable.]
[However, the vouchers, advance ordering, and getting a booth at this restaurant, these operations made me not feel that loss of face I had imagined before. It didn't make me seem ungentlemanly at all, which is really a plus!]
[Fortunately, a blind date isn't primarily about eating. We chatted throughout the meal. The woman was actually quite nice; when I was stammering and unable to speak in the middle, she kept finding topics, so there was no awkward silence. She's probably a more lively personality. After the meal, the woman even messaged to say she wanted to split the bill, but I refused… ]
[As for the blind date result, it seems fate hasn't arrived yet. I didn't develop any special feelings either. After the meal, I didn't proactively contact her again. After she mentioned splitting the bill, she didn't continue chatting either. I guess this matter ends here.]
[As for some readers saying to make friends on a blind date, based on my blind dating experience, it's impossible to become friends! Eventually, we'll probably just unfriend each other.]
