14: Is this reasonable?

Chapter 14 Is This Reasonable?

By the time he came back to his senses, the elite monster's corpse had already been taken by that person, who also picked up quite a few insectoid remains along the way.

"Oh my god, so strong!"

"What a powerful Great Rooster! It took down that elite monster so easily."

"Young Master, is that handsome young man also a student of the art studio?"

The young man remained silent, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint as he stared intently at the departing figure of the Rooster Knight.

"Chase!"

With that, he floored the accelerator and chased after the Rooster Knight.

What he cared about wasn't the Materials from the elite monster, but the Rooster Knight himself, and the powerful scroll he held.

"Which university's training team is he from? He's truly a fierce general!"

"Many academies are training in Yaoyang City this year. I wonder which university's freshman he is?"

Beep beep beep—

He kept honking, signaling the Rooster Knight to stop.

Little did he know, the Rooster Knight was cursing and speeding away.

"Hmph~ If you're not capable, can't others take it?"

"Chicken King, go that way!"

The Chicken King's speed naturally couldn't compare to an armored vehicle, but the Chicken King could adapt to various steep and rugged terrains.

Meanwhile, the armored vehicle behind could only detour when faced with complex terrain.

After successfully shaking off the armored vehicle, Wu Xian was secretly pleased; this trip had been fruitful.

But his joy didn't last long before the roar of an engine came from behind again.

"..."

He initially thought the armored vehicle had caught up again, but upon closer inspection, his expression instantly became strange.

He saw a familiar, dilapidated motorcycle trailing thick smoke, and it was none other than Brother Mo from before!

The motorcycle quickly caught up to the Chicken King. After seeing it was Wu Xian, Brother Mo was also stunned for a moment, "Yo~ you little brat, you're still alive?"

"..."

Wu Xian was speechless at Brother Mo's words.

"Riding a Great Rooster to travel, quite unique, kid," Brother Mo glanced at Wu Xian's Chicken King, teasingly, "Want a ride? Flat rate, thirty yuan."

"Fifteen."

"Alright, get on!" Brother Mo readily accepted the offer.

This left Wu Xian secretly speechless. It seemed he'd have to push the price down to ten yuan next time.

After paying and getting on, Brother Mo once again activated his 'Fast and Furious' mode.

Not long after they left, the rumbling armored vehicle also caught up to the area. The young man in the armored vehicle, having completely lost track, was frantic.

"No way~ Why did that guy run? Am I that scary, Young Master?" The young man expressed his confusion.

The beautiful girl beside him whispered, guessing, "Maybe he thought Young Master wanted to snatch the Materials from that elite monster?"

"What's there to snatch from a Tier 2 elite monster?" The young man was speechless.

"It's nothing to you, of course, but for ordinary families like ours, it's a considerable income."

"Alright."

The young man pouted dejectedly, still not quite understanding what that little money could do.

At this moment, a powered skateboard with flames spraying from its tail hovered above the armored vehicle, causing the four beautiful girls' eyes to light up.

"Senior Zhou, you're here too?"

The rich young man immediately recognized Zhou Qi on the powered skateboard, Tsk-tsking as he examined the powered skateboard under Zhou Qi's feet.

It was a pretty good vehicle, just couldn't carry cheerleaders. He thought about getting one later to show off, which wouldn't be bad.

"I was wondering who was driving an armored vehicle into a novice copy. So it's Junior Wang," Zhou Qi laughed mockingly, "By the way, have you seen someone with a Great Rooster scroll?"

On his way back to the fortress, he vaguely heard a few familiar rooster crows, so he chased in the direction of the sound.

"Great Rooster?" Junior Wang was slightly startled, "Senior, do you know that guy?"

"What, you've seen him?" Zhou Qi's eyes lit up slightly.

"I was just chasing him, but unfortunately, I lost him," Junior Wang said excitedly, "Speaking of which, where is that guy from? He's pretty fierce! And that Great Rooster, Senior, do you know which Great Master's work it is?"

Zhou Qi shook his head and smiled, "I wanted to ask you those questions too."

Then, the two couldn't help but discuss their respective experiences.

Zhou Qi was not surprised to learn that Wu Xian had easily dealt with a Tier 2 elite monster.

Junior Wang, on the other hand, reacted with a series of gasps, "What, he single-handedly wiped out the mother nest? Senior, are you sure you're not joking? This... this... is this reasonable?"

"It's not very reasonable," Zhou Qi said with a serious expression, "but I saw it with my own eyes."

...Wu Xian, who had taken a taxi back to the North District, went directly to the Materials store he had previously cooperated with.

"Boss, your place..."

As soon as he spoke, the boss made a preemptive judgment, "Yes, our store has everything."

"Uh, I'm here to sell goods."

The boss switched gears quickly, "We buy, our store buys everything, and the prices are fair and reasonable."

Wu Xian looked at the leisurely boss sitting behind the counter, thinking that this boss was also an interesting person.

A moment later, looking at the mountain of insectoid remains, the boss was slightly disappointed, "Insectoid goods, you know the situation with insectoid goods. I'm afraid I can't give you a good price."

"It's fine, just go by the market price." Wu Xian expressed understanding, "Also, I have a special insectoid corpse here. How much do you think you can give me for it?"

Saying that, he pulled out the Tier 2 elite insectoid monster corpse.

"Hmm~?!" The boss instantly perked up, "A Tier 2 elite insectoid monster, young man, you're good!"

"Just lucky~ I picked up someone else's bargain."

"The damage is a bit severe, but it's an elite monster Material after all," the boss observed its condition and estimated a rough price, "Selling it in parts would probably be around thirty thousand. How about a flat price of thirty thousand?"

"Alright."

Subsequently, the boss called staff for inventory, including other insectoid Materials, totaling 54,382 spirit yuan.

"By the way, do you have any rare Materials here?" Wu Xian asked casually.

"Yes, but only for Tier 4 and below," the boss replied without hesitation, "And there isn't much in stock. If you have specific needs, I can help you order."

"Uh, I don't need it for now, just asking." Wu Xian quickly waved his hand to bid farewell.

"Welcome back next time, young man."

Leaving the Materials store, he went to a nearby pharmacy.

He splurged eighteen thousand to buy a box of [Spirit Gathering Amplification Fluid], a spiritual potion used to improve the efficiency of spiritual power Cultivation, something only wealthy people could afford.

Now that the scroll problem was solved, his own spiritual power Cultivation also needed to keep up.

After Cultivating his spiritual power to Tier 2, it became significantly more difficult to improve.

One must know that the gap between the rich and ordinary people is all-encompassing.

To keep up with his peers, Cultivation resources are also an indispensable investment.

Back in the Shantytown.

Ever since the old man recalled some memories, his behavior had become much stranger.

Just now, he had somehow gotten several fitness equipment and was lifting weights in the house.

"Come~ Xian'er, join Grandpa!" The old man, lifting a dumbbell with one hand, waved at Wu Xian, "Real men need muscles. A strong physique is the foundation of all combat."

"..."

Wu Xian, though a bit dumbfounded, didn't spoil the fun and trained with the old man.

"Hey~ try not to use spiritual power, otherwise, it won't be effective," the old man corrected Wu Xian's posture while reminding him, "These past two days, I've recalled some combat techniques and physical training methods from the army. I'll teach them to you later; you'll need them when you fight people."

Wu Xian nodded obediently, unwilling to refuse his grandfather's painstaking efforts.

"By the way, that little girl from the Tang Family came looking for you just now. You should call her back later."

"Okay."

After continuing to train with the old man, he returned to his small room and called Tang Tiaotiao back.

"Sister Tiao came to look for me? What's up?"

"This is my first time going into a copy for a sketching trip, so I wanted to pull you into the sketching group, didn't I?" Tang Tiaotiao said cheerfully, "It's a shame you weren't there today; you didn't get to see my little jade rabbit's style, it was so cool!"

Wu Xian was speechless, "Next time, remember to tell me in advance."

A ready-made free pass, it would be a waste not to use it.

"By the way, what scroll did you buy? Is it good?" Tang Tiaotiao asked curiously, "I'm also planning to get some other scrolls recently to improve my combat power."

"You'll know when the time comes." Wu Xian acted mysterious.

"Hmph~" Tang Tiaotiao said dismissively, "A scroll under two million, how powerful can it be?"

Wu Xian smiled without speaking.
