30: The three silly brothers

Chapter 30: the three iron simpletons brothers

Jiang Chen placed his glowing index finger on Xiao Jiu's forehead. As the golden light flowed in, the familiar feeling of kidney deficiency immediately emanated from deep within Jiang Chen's body.

And this time, the weakness from kidney deficiency was significantly stronger than before!

There was nothing he could do; his condition at this moment was not very good, and he had forcibly extracted a skill once more, immediately causing his body to become overloaded.

Seeing that his body was about to be drained dry by the yellow ancient book, Jiang Chen, without a word, stuffed the 'Jiang Yin Dao Weng' capsule into his mouth. The immense feeling of emptiness in his body immediately lessened significantly.

But that feeling of being at the end of his rope was still very strong, as if he would kick the bucket the next second!

Tonics could only temporarily alleviate weakness; they treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

A strong physique was the most fundamental way to deal with kidney deficiency.

Jiang Chen had already extracted a skill once. Although he had taken a 'Jiang Yin Dao Weng' capsule, it only allowed his body to recover some vitality, not completely.

To truly recover, Jiang Chen still needed to rest well and recuperate.

It could only be said that his Body Refiner training over the past month had been quite effective, making Jiang Chen's physique much stronger. Otherwise, Jiang Chen truly felt he would have to report to the female demons in the Western Paradise.

On the seaweed bed, Xiao Jiu's little head was momentarily dazed again, feeling another foreign object rudely shoved into its head.

That was the Brute Force skill belonging to the Steel Claw Sea Dog. The principle of the skill's execution, and the method of its execution, were all crystal clear, as if it was born knowing this skill.

Xiao Jiu: ( _ )?

Xiao Jiu was truly dumbfounded!

Was the pooper scooper performing magic?

He touched its head with his hand, and it learned the skills of those smelly rats.

He touched it again just now, and it learned the skills of thePaw Patrol (Woof Woof Squad).

It was too amazing!

Pooper scooper, hurry up, give my head a few more taps, I want other sea beast skills too!

Jiang Chen: "..."

Jiang Chen was speechless. He lay weakly on the seaweed bed, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes!

He didn't even have the thought of letting Xiao Jiu try the Brute Force skill. He struggled to pull out a few pieces of sea beast meat from his backpack and stuffed them into his mouth to replenish energy and spiritual power, then he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto Xiao Jiu, falling directly asleep.

"Meow meow meow?"

Xiao Jiu meowed speechlessly at Jiang Chen, "Pooper scooper, you fell asleep too fast, just like a pig!"

Alright, sleep then, I'm sleepy too.

Xiao Jiu curled its body, letting Jiang Chen lie on it, and then quickly fell asleep holding its pooper scooper.

Hmm, sleeping with the pooper scooper as a pillow is so comfortable!

...The next day, the third day of practical training.

After feeding their pet beasts breakfast, the two of them also ate a simple meal.

While Nangong Yan was eating, he saw Jiang Chen eating while taking out his finger to draw and write on the ground.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?" Nangong Yan asked curiously.

"Oh, I forgot to do the accounting when I slept last night, so I'm catching up now."

"..."

Nangong Yan was speechless: "Do you really need to be so meticulous? You've earned quite a bit these past two days!"

Jiang Chen didn't even lift his head: "You haven't managed a household, how would you know the cost of daily necessities?"

Jiang Chen continued to calculate:

1. Rescued Ke Zixuan and Zhang Mingwan yesterday morning, obtaining 20 Mackerel Tuna and 3 bottles of Two-Tailed Fishing Cat essence blood (not yet received).

Of the 20 Mackerel Tuna, he and Nangong Yan each got 10. Xiao Jiu and he each ate 1, leaving 8.

Although Zhang Mingwan ultimately failed to offer herself in marriage and did not give him a piece of three-colored sea spirit algae, the value of the 3 bottles of Two-Tailed Fishing Cat essence blood already exceeded that one piece of three-colored sea spirit algae.

Coupled with the 10 Mackerel Tuna Sea Beasts, his adventure yesterday was worthwhile.

2. In the afternoon, the two hunted 2 Mid-Awakening Stage and 6 Late-Awakening Stage sea beasts.

The market price for an Early-Awakening Stage sea beast is 1000 yuan, Mid-Awakening Stage is 3000, and Late-Awakening Stage is 6000.

The acquisition price is 70% of the market price. The spoils are split equally between the two, and after deducting the essence blood used for personal consumption, Jiang Chen ultimately received a total of 10,150 yuan and 3 bottles of Two-Tailed Fishing Cat essence blood!

The most valuable item here was actually the 3 bottles of Two-Tailed Fishing Cat essence blood that Zhang Mingwan had not yet delivered.

The Two-Tailed Fishing Cat is an Elite Level sea beast, and a typical Early Elite Level sea beast can sell for at least 10,000 yuan!

So the value of these 3 bottles of Two-Tailed Fishing Cat essence blood was the greatest!

After finishing the accounting, Jiang Chen's face was filled with joy.

On the first day, he got 2450 yuan, on the second day it was 10150 yuan, and today was only the third day!

Life was becoming more and more promising!

After finishing the accounting, the two people and two beasts quickly headed towards the underwater mountain wall from last night.

Once the Arhat Fish Sea Beast was taken down, Jiang Chen's practical training would be largely complete!

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan quickly traveled, heading towards the western part of the Nanhu Underwater Grassland. To avoid dangers along the way, they took a detour, bypassing the central area of the grassland and taking a large arc.

Although the journey was longer this way, they only encountered Early and Mid-Awakening Stage sea beasts along the way, which the two easily dealt with.

Soon, about an hour later, the sunlight shining down from above suddenly dimmed, and in the seawater ahead, clusters of blurry shadows suddenly appeared.

The two continued towards the shadows. The shadows gradually became clear, transforming into towering mountain walls standing on the seabed, blocking their path.

At the same time, as the two approached, muffled "thump thump" sounds of impact came through the seawater.

Jiang Chen was slightly pleased. The Arhat Fish Sea Beast had arrived!

Hearing these thudding sounds, Jiang Chen, on the contrary, was no longer in a hurry. The closer it was to the critical moment, the more cautious he needed to be.

He led Nangong Yan to slow down, moving cautiously through the dense grass, vigilantly looking around to prevent being ambushed.

Finally, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan arrived in front of several underwater mountain walls.

The first thing the two saw were several large fish covered in thick red scales, using the large forehead pearl on their heads to ram the mountain wall in front of them.

These mountain walls vibrated and rumbled from the Arhat Fish's impacts. Rocks and dust continuously fell from above the walls, stirring the surrounding seawater into a murky mess.

Jiang Chen watched quietly. He knew that the Arhat Fish Sea Beast had a habit of ramming enemies or hard objects like mountain walls with its iron head, but in fact, this was a method for this sea beast to cultivate its Iron Head Charge skill.

For the same skill, the power of its execution would be completely different depending on the level of proficiency.

This was the Arhat Fish's unique cultivation method.

Jiang Chen had read in textbooks that there were two other well-known sea beasts that also liked to ram enemies or mountain walls with their heads.

They were the Blue-Armored Bronze-Headed Fish, known as "Leng Tou Qing (literally 'Greenhorn')", and the Golden Forehead Wrasse, known as "Dumb Goose."

The latter two sea beasts were not weak in strength, and Jiang Chen probably wouldn't encounter them for now.

Because these three sea beasts all liked to ram enemies with their heads and had thick skin and flesh, they were collectively known as "the three iron simpletons brothers."

Jiang Chen continued to look ahead:

【Name】Arhat Fish

【Level】Early Awakening Stage

【Bloodline】Elite Level Early Stage

【Skills】Iron Head Charge, Fish Scale Armor.

Because it possessed an Elite Level bloodline, the Arhat Fish's strength among awakening level sea beasts was by no means weak; it could even be considered a formidable existence.

At the same time, due to the hard armor on the Arhat Fish, the scales of this sea beast are very popular in the market and are good materials for various weapons and armor.

The flesh and blood of the Arhat Fish also have great uses!

Arhat Fish blood is the first choice for Body Refiners to temper their bodies.

Arhat Fish meat is also the primary food for some metal-element pet beasts; consuming it can increase the hardness of their claws and teeth!

Therefore, under these multiple reasons, the Arhat Fish is almost half the price of other sea beasts of the same period!

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

Just as Jiang Chen was observing, at this moment, a booming sound of battle and the roar of an Arhat Fish suddenly came from another mountain wall not far away!

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan exchanged glances, then tacitly moved towards that mountain wall.

Soon, two familiar figures appeared before them.

These two were Zhang Caiying, the top student of their Senior High Class 3 (3), and his partner, Zhao Hui.
