Chapter 239: Chapter 237: Worm-like Creature, Poison Pattern Scorpion, An Immense Fortune

Lin Yi was still skeptical of what Wei Shang had said.

He wasn’t entirely convinced.

Ever since coming to the New District, however, he’d learned he had a grandfather here.

And that he belonged to a prominent family.

’But even so, could Grandfather really get people from the Town Martial Department to act as my personal bodyguards?’

Back at Lao He’s Kitchen in the Old District,

Chu Zhengxiong had once said

that the Town Martial Department was an independent organization with the power of life and death.

Even the Martial Arts Alliance had to tread carefully around them.

’An organization that incredible would take orders from my grandfather?’

Lin Yi wasn’t completely convinced by the reason Wei Shang gave.

”Lin Yi, the biggest difference between the New District and the Old District is that people are unpredictable!”

”When you were in the Old District, life was actually simpler. You didn’t have to worry about other things.

All you had to do was focus on your training and prepare for the martial arts exam!”

”Even if you failed the exam, you could still live a quiet, ordinary life!”

”Perhaps the Old District has its dangers, with the constant threat of demon beasts!”

”But it’s straightforward. The New District is different. To get a foothold here, the first thing you need is a powerful backer!”

”You saw those students at school, didn’t you?”

”Every one of them has a powerful family behind them. It doesn’t matter if the family is big or small, at least they have that support!”

”Even after they graduate in the future, it will be easier for them to get jobs in various departments than it will be for students without connections!”

”And especially when it comes to cultivation, they can often get special privileges from their families!”

”The most basic example is... cultivating with money. Yes, it’s just like paying to win in video games!”

”Pay-to-win players always have better gear. Isn’t cultivation the same way?”

”If you have enough money, you’ll have more cultivation resources than others!”

”If you have a powerful enough backer, then you’ll have greater privileges than others!”

”In the New District, personal ability doesn’t mean much. What’s important is how many resources you have backing you!”

Wei Shang spoke with a serious expression.

Now that he had laid his cards on the table, there was no need to be secretive anymore.

He told Lin Yi all about the rules of the New District.

It could be considered giving him a choice about his future.

After a long moment, Lin Yi nodded. ”No wonder you seemed a bit more mature than the other students our age!”

”I was only suspicious before, but now I’m completely sure!”

”So you’re not a student at all...”

Lin Yi changed the subject with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Shang naturally understood what he meant.

He quickly played along, rubbing his face. ”Nonsense, do I look that old? Plenty of people say I look like I’m in my twenties!”

”Give me a break. Twenty-something? You look at least thirty, okay?”

”From now on, should I call you Brother Wei?”

”Don’t do that. Calling me ’Brother’ makes me feel old. Just call me Old Wei!”

Lin Yi was speechless.

”Tell me the truth, between me and Feng Lei, who looks older?”

”You look more mature than him!”

Wei Shang was speechless.

”When you have time, tell me about the powerful families and the various factions in the New District!”

”Especially about your mission. What you just said about passing, I don’t believe it was my grandfather who sent you. You must have another objective, but I won’t force you to tell me!”

”You can wait until the time is right to tell me!”

Wei Shang said, ”I was telling the truth. Why don’t you believe me?”

”If you keep trying to fool me, we can’t even be friends anymore!”

”...”

Over an hour later.

At the city gate.

Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, Feng Lei, and the rest of their group

were still waiting for those few students, but they never came.

The moon was high in the sky, and it was almost midnight.

Shen Mengyi said, ”They’re not coming in tonight. They must know Jail City’s entry rules. Even if they wanted to come in, they’d have to wait until after midnight!”

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao both nodded in agreement.

”So what now? Are we calling it a night?” Wei Nan glanced at them.

He was clearly still unwilling to give up.

He hadn’t been able to corner those local students tonight.

He felt like he had all this pent-up anger with nowhere to release it.

Feng Lei smiled at them. ”There’s always tomorrow. We’ll run into them eventually, no need to rush. We should get back to our mission!”

Seeing that no one else had any objections,

Wei Nan nodded. ”Fine, then. I’m all fired up right now. I’m going to find some demon beasts to take it out on. Let’s go!”

SHING—

A long saber appeared in his hand.

Wei Nan headed straight for the depths of the barren desert.

...

BOOM—

A slash of the blade

sent sharp blade energy slicing the yellow sand in two.

A trench instantly appeared before him.

However, the giant, worm-like beast from before was gone.

Lin Yi didn’t dare to be careless.

His eyes constantly scanned his surroundings.

The warning in his heart didn’t stop for a second.

It continuously told him that danger was still present...

”Look out!”

Suddenly, Wei Shang shouted.

Lin Yi also sensed something was wrong. The ground began to roil.

As if an earthquake was starting, a behemoth burst out of the sand.

A worm over ten meters long shot up and sent Lin Yi flying.

SCREECH—

The moment the worm emerged from the sand again,

Xiaoqi, who was circling overhead, grew excited.

It beat its wings, carving an arc through the low-altitude air.

The surrounding area immediately began to freeze over as it tried to encase the entire worm in ice.

No bird could resist such a massive bug.

In Xiaoqi’s eyes, it was a delectable Demon Beast Meat feast.

However, this worm was simply too big.

The instant the frost touched it, a loud CRACK was heard.

The layer of ice shattered immediately, unable to freeze the creature quickly.

However, Xiaoqi’s ice attack did cause the giant worm’s movements to slow for a moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yi and Wei Shang reacted at once.

One of them, brandishing a long saber, shot toward the worm.

The saber glowed with a golden light, as if it could sunder heaven and earth, and it chopped down toward the worm’s head.

Meanwhile, Wei Shang was even faster.

His entire body was enveloped in a brown glow.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, a layer of earth began to coalesce around his fist.

As he charged toward the worm, the earth slowly hardened until it was like rock.

BOOM—

SQUELCH...

Two loud noises sounded in quick succession.

Wei Shang’s punch smashed directly into the middle of the worm’s body.

Although his punch was powerful and could have inflicted massive damage on the worm,

the creature’s life force was too tenacious. Even if it were cut into several pieces, it could still live.

Therefore, a punch that would have been a fatal blow to any other demon beast

could only severely injure the worm, not kill it.

Lin Yi’s attack, which followed immediately after, sliced it open vertically.

The giant, ten-meter-long worm was sliced into pieces by Lin Yi.

Viscous green liquid sprayed everywhere.

[Congratulations on slaying a 3-Star Beast]

[Do you want to plunder the Talent Trait ’Regeneration (Purple)’?]

’Plunder!’

Lin Yi responded in his mind.

With that, the worm’s talent was pocketed by Lin Yi.

This Regeneration trait was the worm’s self-healing talent.

The reason it was so hard to kill was that its regenerative ability was too strong.

No matter what kind of injury it sustained, it could regenerate and heal.

It could even continue living after being cut into several pieces.

Moreover, it could even grow new bodies...

Lin Yi hadn’t expected to encounter a 3-Star beast right after entering.

This talent was even more incredible!

’With this talent, as long as my head doesn’t get chopped off, I might be able to heal from anything.’

’If I can collect two more of the same talent,’

’I can merge them for an upgrade.’

’If I can upgrade it to Gold, or even Red...’

’Wouldn’t that make me immortal?’

Lin Yi pondered this inwardly.

Obtaining this Regeneration talent tonight was his biggest gain by far.

”How are you? You okay?”

Wei Shang rushed over. Seeing the green liquid splattered on Lin Yi, he asked with concern.

Lin Yi shook his head with a smile. ”Just a 3-star worm. A piece of cake. It’s just that this liquid is so sticky...”

Wei Shang laughed. ”This isn’t an earthworm. It’s called a Worm-like Creature. It’s similar to an earthworm, I suppose, but its greatest ability is being cooked into a dish...”

”Cooked into a dish?”

Lin Yi looked back at the pile of squishy goo.

The expression on his face gradually contorted.

”Don’t be disgusted by how it looks. If you make it into a soup, it’s an absolutely amazing tonic!”

”Do you have any idea how much this Worm-like Creature costs on the outside?” Wei Shang said with a faint smile.

Lin Yi shook his head. ”How much?”

”A 1-Star Worm-like Creature, when made into a soup, sells for around thirty thousand a bowl!”

”Take a look for yourself. How much soup do you think you can make from something this big? And it’s a 3-Star one, at that!”

Hearing this, Lin Yi glanced back at the corpse of the Worm-like Creature.

The next moment, he had stowed it directly into his Storage Ring.

”Then I won’t stand on ceremony!”

Wei Shang was speechless.

”This one Worm-like Creature is worth over a million!”

”I have to say, kid, your luck is not bad. You encountered a 3-Star beast right after coming in!”

”You should know, beasts are still very rare in Jail City!”

”You’re only lucky enough to encounter them in specific scenarios. Most of what you find are demon beasts, like...”

Before Wei Shang could finish,

his expression changed, and his brow furrowed deeply.

In the darkness of the distance,

pairs of blood-red eyes were slowly approaching them.

By the time they could see the eyes clearly,

Lin Yi said in surprise, ”Where did all these scorpions come from? And they’re huge!”

Wei Shang also sucked in a cold breath.

”Looks like your luck is really something. Poison Pattern Scorpions. They’re excellent medicinal ingredients. If you take them to the Medical Bureau, a single one can be exchanged for...”

Before Wei Shang could finish explaining the medicinal value of the Poison Pattern Scorpions,

Lin Yi had already raised his saber and charged toward them.

’With a mountain of wealth delivering itself to my doorstep, who has time to listen to you ramble?’

Even Xiaoqi in the night sky let out a cry.

It beat its wings and dove toward the scorpions below.

It also sent out a telepathic message.

[Little bugs... Xiaoqi eats bugs, wants to eat little bugs...]
