Chapter Eighty-six: The Crafty Old Hu

  ♂?,,

  Huahao "Tiger" stood up, cracking his knuckles. He was feeling somewhat depressed because his proposal had been vetoed. It seemed that he would have to vent his anger on the Japanese workers who were sent to clean the lower levels of the building.

  Five minutes later, a series of major accidents occurred during the cleanup operation at the scene.

  A dump truck suddenly caught fire and exploded, followed by a small-scale collapse of the floor, which buried 27 people alive in the rubble. The collapsed material also refilled the engineering project that had already been excavated to the bottom layer!

  The Japanese provincial officials who rushed to the scene were still supervising, loudly saying that they would stick to their posts and carry forward the spirit of the great Japanese nation, and that the rescue work would be carried out to the end. But before he had even finished speaking, there was another partial collapse of the building! A flying rock hit him, causing blood to flow all over his face, scaring this guy pale, after handing over a few words, he hastily escaped!

  Eight hours later, the nightmare finally brought the long-awaited news:

  "Spring said: The Great Priest of the Divine Palace has died."

  "Continuous Task B: The Truth of the Demon, has been activated. Task Objective: Obtain one eyeball of the demonized summoning spring. Task Completion Time Limit: 30 minutes."

  "Due to the large difference in strength between the demonized summoning spring, an additional 500 points of merit and 1 point of potential are awarded."

  It's another consecutive task! Fang Lin was first delighted and then shocked in his heart, and he quickly called the remaining two people to hurry over. He had previously hoped that the building would collapse more and more, fearing that it would not be buried deeply enough for that guy to escape. Now, however, he was wailing in distress. After rushing over, they began to dig through the rubble with all their might. Fortunately, there was Hu Hua's high-strength humanoid excavator, and also Glin, who had equally powerful strength, helping out on the side. The three people were exhausted and drenched in sweat, but finally, after 28 minutes of continuous tasking, they managed to dig out the corpse of that demonized summoning spring.

  This guy was truly incredible, and he managed to dig out a considerable space from the rubble of steel and concrete, but his body was also extremely miserable, with not an inch of intact skin on his entire body, and even his bones were broken into pieces. Fang Lin directly pounced on him and dug out his eyes, stuffed them into the Nightmare Seal, and instantly received a prompt:

  "Continuous Quest B: The Truth of the Monster has been completed. Do you want to exchange rewards immediately or accumulate them for the next continuous quest?"

  At this time, Fang Lin had a reliable team and was no longer in a hurry. The Su surname also made a selection. After being collected by him, the corpse of Zhaoquan slowly disappeared, leaving behind a golden key that only Fang Lin could pick up. He picked it up and summoned a treasure chest, directly setting the opening process to exhibition mode.

  "A-level skill scroll: Artemis' Epiphany. After use, basic ranged combat is increased to level 10. Consumes 5 potential points. Can be exchanged for 3000 credits."

  "Yuan (large denomination): Valuables, can be exchanged for 2000 points."

  "River Styx Water: A special tool that can erase a learned skill and refund the spent potential points. Can be exchanged for 5000 credits."

  Apart from the Yuan, the other two things are somewhat difficult to determine their value. A-level skill scroll: Artemis' Enlightenment is quite useless for those who have already upgraded their ranged skills, but it's a treasure for those who haven't been able to upgrade yet. To know that upgrading basic ranged skills from 1 to 10 requires 22 points!

  The water of the Nai River doesn't need to be mentioned, it's really a case of "the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom". It's not quite applicable to Fang Lin and Hu Hua-Hao, but for others, it's rather difficult to say.

  Fang Lin smiled as he turned his eyes:

  "I'm a rookie who doesn't understand anything, Old Lei and Green discussed it and divided it up."

  Hú Huá Hào's spirits lifted greatly upon hearing this, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves saying:

  "This is the most correct thing we've done since we met!"

  Green furrowed his brow, knowing that the burly man in front of him had a rough exterior but was actually meticulous and had a good grasp of the market trends in space. He feared that he wouldn't be able to deceive him today, and said coldly:

  "What about the other two? Will the waters of the underworld give them to me?"

  Hu Hua said with an expressionless face:

  "Is it not better for us to have the waters of the underworld than to have these two things?"

  Gelinton was taken aback for a moment, took a few deep breaths and said "Alright, I really need the water of the Naihe River, name your price."

  "How about exchanging it for an axe?"

  "...Soul binding!"

  "Adding 100,000 points and 300 potential points!"

  "A little sincerity would be good!"

  "999,000 points accumulated, 299 potential points."

  "My god..."

  "Grandma's, I've wasted 3000 points of merit on S-level skills and still need to add some talent."

  "That broken skill also consumes 3000 points? Screw it!"

  “…………”

  After a difficult tug-of-war, Green paid the price of 7,000 points and 8 potential points to get that bottle of River Styx water, in addition to giving up the A-level scroll "Artemis' Enlightenment". Fang Lin was amazed by this, and directly used the A-level scroll "Artemis' Enlightenment", suddenly raising his basic ranged attack from level 1 to level 10.

  (Attachment: Basic Remote War level - 10 Attribute: Accuracy of remote shooting method increased by 80%, range of remote weapons increased by 40%, penalty reduced by 70% when moving and shooting, lethality rate increased by 3% when using remote weapons to attack. Can proficiently use light and medium-range attack weapons.)

  Hu Hua Hao was very pleased, directly putting the accumulated points and potential points from the transaction into the shared space of the KOF contract, both of them could use it together. Adding up, they had accumulated a total of 12,000 points and 15 talent points!

  Fang Lin also followed suit, putting his own points and innate abilities into the space. He was increasingly appreciating the value of this KOF contract. In this way, it was equivalent to being able to combine the strengths of two people with peace of mind to accomplish something, how could they not achieve twice the result with half the effort?

  In fact, this KOF contract was also obtained by Ruan Mingyuan not long after he got it, and he wanted to exchange it for a dark gold extreme weapon above +7 and an advanced skill above A-level. Reasonably speaking, this KOF contract is worth the price, but in a hurry, he didn't meet a suitable seller and couldn't sell it, so it ended up in Fang Lin's hands at a low price.

  Gillin left after obtaining the water of the Naihe River, while Fang Lin and Hu Hua Hao found an inn to rest. The two were exhausted from the battle with the summoning spring variant, and then waited for its death time, staying up all night. As soon as they opened the room, they fell asleep, sleeping soundly until 3 pm the next day.

  After getting up, Hu Hua and Fang Lin went downstairs to have a meal. They first ordered a dish of buckwheat noodles that the waiter strongly recommended. The noodles were made entirely from buckwheat flour without adding any other type of flour, and they tasted extremely delicious. The buckwheat noodles could also be served with a seasoning made from mustard, finely chopped scallions, mirin (a sweet Japanese cooking wine), and dried bonito flakes.

  Its method is not complicated, it's just buckwheat noodles cooked and then placed on a bamboo tray, cooled with ice (some put ice cubes on the noodles) and eaten with dipping sauce. It's similar to China's liangpi, its nutrition is very rich, containing rich vitamin B1 and vitamin C.

  The two of them were starving, so the two bowls of noodles were naturally useless. Hu Hua Hao waved his hand and directly ordered Japanese Kaiseki cuisine, which he had only heard of but never tried before. This Japanese cuisine emphasizes freshness, with Kaiseki being the top grade. Each dish is made fresh after the customer orders, further highlighting its freshness and flavor. Because it's made to order, the two of them waited for a full 15 minutes after ordering before the first dish finally arrived.

  Because this stone-wrapping cuisine originated from the temples in Kyoto, Japan, a group of monks who were practicing under the precepts of Buddhism ate very simple and light meals, but sometimes felt hungry and hard to bear. They then thought of hugging warm stones in their arms to alleviate some of the hunger pangs, thus giving rise to the name "stone-wrapping".

  Later on, the spirit of simplicity and pursuit of original flavor was passed down, developing a set of exquisite dining etiquette, from tableware to plating, all filled with Zen atmosphere. Its main idea is that guests should maintain a calm state of mind while waiting for their meal, and not spoil the spiritual realm of Waisheng cuisine with an impatient heart.

  However, neither Fang Lin nor Hu Hua Hao paid attention to these tedious clauses. The two of them thought that since the dishes were expensive, they must be generous in portion and delicious. Who knew that this was a feast where art surpassed taste! When the first dish was served, it turned out to be just a few slices of red and white radish! Hu Hua Hao was so angry that he almost overturned the table on the spot and scolded loudly, completely ignoring the waiter's repeated emphasis on the visual enjoyment.
