Chapter 100: Blended Qi Pellets

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the mention of weapons and munition, Chen Jingzhou could not help remembering the giant crater at the east side of the village, which prompted him to ask about it.

Jiang He smiled in return, “It’s just a little something I cooked up myself. It doesn’t violate any laws, does it, Commander Chen?”

It did for sure… But had the times not changed now?

Even if it made such a gigantic crater?

After that, Jiang He made his request, asking for however much stuff he could.

Chen Jingzhou noted down everything and climbed back into his military vehicle.

Duan Tianhe saw him off, before turning to Jiang He, “There’s a bunch of things to do at the Martial Arts Department (MAD) so I won’t bother you anymore. I’ve already sent the address of Warrior Home to your WeChat, and you could give me a call if you have anything you don’t understand.”

“You’ve stopped the Sky Demon Cult’s conspiracies multiple times, killing two of their Decans and five of their Fiends on different occasions. Those are enormous accomplishments, and by coincidence, headquarters had been drafting different chapters of rewards.”

Duan Tianhe smiled then. “Cultivation manual, secret texts, weapons, and qi pellets—what do you need? I could help put in a good word for you.”

Jiang He considered that seriously.

He did not really have any use for those stuff.

Still, the fierce resistance he could put up because he could not bear with the Sky Demon Cult’s bullying had unwittingly helped the MAD considerably, and so he quickly said, “Can I choose the rewards for myself, Chief Duan? If I’m allowed to, please ask the higher-ups to wait a few days until I could decide.”

“Alright!”

Duan Tianhe laughed heartily. “There are some introductions about many treasures on Warrior Home. You could decide after taking a look.”

Soon, he left in his new car with Cheng Dongfeng.

After that, the only one left was Jiang He, Mu Wanqiu, and her assistant Wu Yueru.

Those two women were a sight for sore eyes, whenever they stood together.

Mu Wanqiu, a fire-type Awakened boasted a stunning figure and a steamy presence.

Wu Yueru, however, was different.

Dressed in her office lady attire, there was some extent of primness in her sexiness, as well as a sense of maturity.

Compared to burly men like Duan Tianhe and Chen Dongfeng, Jiang He was more willing to chat with these two beauties. Once they returned inside his house, they began to chat idly away.

And it was obvious that Wu Yueru was quite curious about Jiang He.

She asked every question possible, until Jiang He himself was rather speechless.

‘What the heck?

‘Age, height, and zodiac are fine, but she’s actually asking if I had any girlfriends and whether I’m single!

‘What does that have to do with you?’

Jiang He was even suspecting that his System might have some hidden attribute like +999 charisma. Why else would every woman want to get their hands on him?

“That’s right!

“That has to be it!

“Surely it’s not because I’m good looking, right? It’s not like having good luck would let me have anything I like…”

Beside them, Mu Wanqiu really could not keep listening to their conversation. She bore a deep grudge towards Jiang He since each of her previous conversations with him had ended unpleasantly.

Muttering, Mu Wanqiu suddenly smiled, “Jiang He, you might not know this, but Yueru and I are here mainly to thank you personally.”

“Thank me?”

Jiang He was a little uncertain. What was there to thank him for?

At the same time, Wu Yueru flushed, which Jiang He noted with the corner of his eye.

She reached out and pinched Mu Wanqiu, who chuckled, “You might not be able to tell, but Yueru was quite skinny before, and she only got her figure now thanks to your crop.”

Jiang He was left speechless even as he understood.

Seeing that Wu Yueru’s cheeks flushed even harder, Jiang He added with a smile, “That’s actually unnecessary. Since doctors could be as caring as parents, you women could just visit the doctor…”

Beside them, Mu Wanqiu was shaking with laughter.

Still, after pausing for a moment and changing his tone, Jiang He smiled, “Look, didn’t she regain her confidence because of my help too?”

Mu Wanqiu scowled immediately, and a flame sparked over her head.

Jiang He extinguished it with a gentle blow, before saying with a straight face, “Don’t play with fire, Miss Mu. You’ll burn yourself.”

“You…”

Flustered, Mu Wanqiu could not say anything for a while.

Burn herself with fire?

Was that a threat?

Jiang He, on the other hand, was smiling faintly.

What could Mu Wanqiu hope to achieve with that flame over her head? Frighten him? Now that he has gained Initiate proficiency over Indestructible Diamond, Second Tier Mastery over Strengthened Nine Yang Technique as well as Dragon Elephant Prajna, could you even burn off a single strand of my hair, even if I let you burn me without lifting a finger?

Of course, that was not actually necessary.

Mu Wanqiu had a temper, but whenever she faced Jiang He…

She really could not throw a fit sometimes.

And now, it was Wu Yueru’s turn to shake with laughter. Compared to others, these women’s giggles were quite interesting and enjoyable.

Clenching her teeth and throwing a fierce glare at Wu Yueru, Mu Wanqiu took a deep breath before saying, “Jiang He, I’ve moved the corpses of the horned boar and the other Ferals back to our facility last night.”

With that, she whipped out her phone to send Jiang He an inventory.

“Most of them were blown into pieces however, which is why they were priced quite low. Please check.”

Jiang He read through the inventory and the total value.

At around ten million bucks, it was not actually much—it was around the price of his breakfast…

Perhaps even less.

After all, his large eggplants that could ease swells, stop bleeding, and connect broken bones were worth more than ten million.

That being said, money was just a number to Jiang He, and a dozen million dollars was no different from a thousand dollars.

“Can I exchange the money for cultivation supplies? I’m thinking about developing my pets… by the way, I won’t be needing more qi pellets.”

It seems that one could develop resistance against qi pellets if they had one too many.

Dumbo had barely reached rank four even though it was eating a big bowl’s worth of them, just as Trumbo did not improve much two days after rising to rank-five novice.

“…”

Mu Wanqiu could not react immediately, whereas Wu Yueru’s red lips were slightly parted in surprise. Not only was this man good looking, but he’s a spendthrift too? There was no telling how many martial artists did not have the money to buy themselves cultivation supplies, but you are extravagant enough to buy cultivation supplies for your pets?”

After she recovered, Mu Wanqiu forced a smile. “The Superpower Research Department is only developing qi pellets suitable for martial artists and Awakened for now. We had yet to develop anything for pets for now.”

Jiang He blinked, taken aback. “Aren’t those things universal? My pets have been eating qi pellets until they got all fattened up…”

Feeling a tightness over her chest, Mu Wanqiu clutched at her own chest then.

How much of a wastrel could you be, feeding qi pellets to your pets?!

“Oh, right…”

Jiang He suddenly asked, “The numbers aren’t quite right, yes? It’s just over ten million… if I remember correctly, the corpse of a rank-eight Feral should be worth at least thirty million, right?”

“The value of the horned boar is not listed in the inventory yet.”

Mu Wanqiu laughed. “Jiang He, weren’t you asking about medicinal pellets that were more expensive than qi pellets? We did manage to develop a qi pellet called the blended qi pellets, and rank-six martial artists could replenish their True Qi rapidly with one pellet even when their True Qi was exhausted, and it’s effective for rank-seven grandmasters as well.”

“Oh?”

Jiang He’s eyes twinkled, “How much are those?”

“Three million.”

Mu Wanqiu said, putting up three fingers. “The truth is that the blended qi pellets were just developed and still on clinical trials, and I had to go through some lengths to convince my grandfather letting me have ten pellets beforehand.”

“I’ll take everything you have.” Jiang He said grandly.

“Jiang He,” Mu Wanqiu laughed bitterly. “My grandfather is looking to reduce the cost of making the blended qi pellets at the moment, and it could become cheaper when it’s put on retail. Moreover, using it for cultivation costs too much, so I’m suggesting that you only buy three pellets and only take it when it matters, since it replenishes your True Qi and rapidly requires combat ability.”

Jiang He was a little speechless at that.

Replenish True Qi for what?

Was that even necessary?

After all, he never once felt that he was short on True Qi ever since he started cultivation.

Combat was not theater. Why would there be something so elaborate?

Burst out at full power upon encountering the enemy, cutting them down in several slashes. Why would he need to replenish his True Qi?

“I’ll have all ten blended qi pellets. I won’t be paying—just take that horned boar corpse in return instead.”

Jiang He had his own plans too.

As his farm leveled up, the EXP and Farm Points he could earn from qi pellets are too few. Wouldn’t it better to just swap for a higher-level qi pellet and level up his farm soon?
