Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 100: Chapter 94: Extorting You a Bit (Sixth Update)

The matter with Bai Zhao ended just like that.

The club is still settling the funds from the ticket sales.

Su Yue returned to the hospital room for further treatment, since it was a life-and-death battle, his internal injuries were much worse than usual.

...

Available Reward Points: 2369

Reward Counter:

1: Sleep Exemption

2: The Price of Love (next use, costs 700 reward points)

3: Save Your Dog Life

4: Distinguish Between Human and Ghost

Qi Blood Value: 32 cards

...

The usual suffering and torment were just small favors; the real source of reward points is life-and-death combat.

Su Yue was not yet qualified to go to the Wetland; he felt that when he truly went to the battlefield, the system would start to have a real effect.

”This injury will probably require a long rest, might as well get another Qi Blood card while I’m idle!”

A warm flow surged through Su Yue’s body, and the Qi Blood value increased by one card.

...

Available Reward Points: 1669

Reward Counter:

1: Sleep Exemption

2: The Price of Love (next use, costs 800 reward points)

3: Save Your Dog Life

4: Distinguish Between Human and Ghost

Qi Blood Value: 33 cards

...

Having just completed the bone-washing process, quickly gaining another Qi Blood card, if others knew, would they pass out of envy?

After 30 cards, each additional card’s cultivation difficulty is comparable to that of a Sealed Martial Artist.

The key is that Su Yue had taken a large amount of Bone-Washing Water, and some of the drug’s power remained in his body. Once he healed and practiced bitterly for a while longer, breaking through to 34 cards seemed hopeful.

cards!

It didn’t seem that far off.

Eh!

This time I wasn’t crippled?

Su Yue suddenly realized a frightening problem.

Arms and legs, unharmed!

No problem with limbs.

No blindness either.

He could see, hear, and even smell the scent of disinfectant in the hospital.

Could it be that the system gave extra mercy?

Su Yue opened the system again.

The Price of Love: Cripple Countdown: 167 hours 57 minutes 12 seconds!

This wasn’t right.

Su Yue got out of bed and bounced a few times on the floor; apart from the pain, there was nothing unusual.

This was strange.

Could it be brain damage?

I can still think, still smart and clever, no brain damage.

Su Yue sat down, utterly puzzled.

Taste!

Right, it’s taste.

Su Yue suddenly realized, his mouth felt bland, especially tasteless.

Grabbed an apple from the table.

Crunch!

A bite revealed no taste, the sweet juice seemed non-existent, like chewing wax.

So the sense of taste was gone!

That’s fine.

For me, taste isn’t an important sense.

...

In the afternoon, Su Yue was considered to have passed the critical period, allowing for visitors.

Upon learning that Xu Baiyan and the others were coming, Dai Yuegui did not allow other classmates to disturb him.

At this moment, Xu Baiyan and a stranger were sitting in Su Yue’s hospital room.

The three pairs of eyes looked at each other.

Su Yue was observing Yang Lezhi: quite handsome, very strong, but a bit stupid. Holding a glass bottle of cola, licking it continuously, what’s there to lick? Does it have any taste?

Could he be a weirdo, practicing some skill?

Scary.

And judging from Xu Baiyan’s expression, she seemed to really dislike this guy.

Hmm.

Love at first sight.

Buddy, you have the potential to be my brother-in-law. The more my sister dislikes you, the more I should help you.

But this guy doesn’t seem to have any feelings for Xu Baiyan either.

He is more fearful.

As for Xu Baiyan.

Su Yue wasn’t ready to forgive her now.

Before, she inexplicably hit me, which was forgivable—after all, she’s my sister, and I can’t really take revenge.

But then she used advanced tactics to attack me, which was infuriating.

Su Yue’s heart was full of anger.

Even introducing me to a senior couldn’t quell it unless she was especially beautiful, then maybe I could forgive.

Right.

Xu Baiyan also brought me a bottle of Bone-Washing Water.

Even though 1.5 million is a hefty burden for her.

But given our sibling bond, sponging off her a bit is justified.

No forgiveness.

Yang Lezhi was also observing Su Yue:

This kid seems a bit dopey, quite different from the fierce persona in the arena; somewhat handsome, but not as much as me.

As a teaching assistant, I need Su Yue’s signature to get a sizable credit reward, possibly a special bonus.

The Golden Bone Ivory.

This little student is a promising talent.

But unfortunately, he’s Xu Baiyan’s brother, which complicates things.

If Xu Baiyan intervenes and is envious of my luck, it won’t be easy.

Damn glass bottle, how could I lick it clean?

Yang Lezhi regretted his earlier boast about eating a glass bottle, now he tasted the bitter fruit.

”Brother, you did very well. As your sister, I’m proud of you.

”I didn’t expect my tactics to be so exquisite that an unsealed weakling could learn them. Indeed, I’m a tactics genius.”

Xu Baiyan nodded, confident in her abilities.

Su Yue was utterly stupefied.

Shouldn’t you be amazed at my talent, comprehension, and strong aptitude?

What is this situation?

Even now, do you really think it’s your credit?

Are modern martial artists all so shameless?

”Xu Baiyan, Ku Bu and Knife Techniques are very mature tactics, unrelated to your conclusions.

”It’s entirely the result of Su Yue’s hard work in cultivation.”

Yang Lezhi interrupted Xu Baiyan’s narcissism.

”Sis, who is this guy? Brother-in-law?

”Does he have a house? A car? How much is his monthly salary? Do his parents have retirement pensions? How much for the betrothal gift?

”If your brother-in-law wants to buy a house, how much support can he provide?

”Does he smoke? Drink? Have any bad habits?

”Brother-in-law, meeting for the first time, how much of a meeting gift are you prepared to give your little brother-in-law?”

Su Yue thought for a moment and fired off a series of questions.

Xu Baiyan’s face turned ashen.

Yang Lezhi suffered a series of soul-crushing blows, his brain went blank.

Xu Baiyan?

Girlfriend?

I’d rather go play around with guys.

”Su Yue, stop talking nonsense.

”What car and house? My criteria for a boyfriend must include a villa.

”This kind of guy who pours beer over his head will never have a girlfriend in this lifetime.”

Xu Baiyan glared at Yang Lezhi.

”Oh, so that’s how it is, not brother-in-law!

”Then are you being a simp for my sister? You could bribe your little brother-in-law; I could help you drug her.”

Su Yue said earnestly.

Yang Lezhi was shocked.

He looked at Xu Baiyan, then at Su Yue.

They’re siblings?

Wait!

Something’s wrong, a simp?

Who’s the simp?

Damn, I’m being misunderstood here.

”Little brother, are you itching for a beating? Once you’re discharged, I’ll hit you with a combo.”

Xu Baiyan said through gritted teeth.

This kid said he didn’t hold grudges, yet he’s clearly getting back at me now.

”Brother Su Yue, let’s not joke about such things, I’m just classmates with your sister.

”I’m Yang Lezhi, your potential class’s assistant teacher. I had some issues in the past six months, so this is our first meeting, pleased to meet you.”

Yang Lezhi stood up and introduced himself formally.

”Oh... Now I remember, you’re the instructor from North Wu, the one always slacking off.”

Su Yue was suddenly enlightened.

At the same time, he recalled the name Yang Lezhi.

Xu Baiyan had warned him, seemingly asking him to give this guy a hard time.

No wonder, these two seemed a bit off, it’s an old grudge!

”Little brother, this guy’s avoiding training and now wants you to sign off so he can earn credits. Use this chance to extort some stuff.”

Xu Baiyan said with a sneer.

”It’s been delays due to personal matters, but there’s still half a year left. I will spare no effort to help Su Yue with his training.”

Yang Lezhi quickly attempted reparations.

He resented it, the universe isn’t fair.

Finally, there’s a student needing Bone-Washing, yet it’s Xu Baiyan’s brother.

If Su Yue doesn’t sign off, his credits are sunk.

”Coach Yang, do you have anything to show? Let me see if it’s worth extorting.”

Su Yue nodded eagerly.

Yang Lezhi felt chills.

Truly brother and sister.

What does it mean if it’s worth extorting, aren’t these words meant to be said behind my back?

Am I just air to them?

Besides, do I look that impoverished?

Yes!

Maybe I do.

”Here’s an old cola bottle, with a sleek form, perfectly contoured like the waistline of a peerless beauty, breathtaking, naturally formed, a best-seller of the 21st century with immense collectible value, see...”

Yang Lezhi presented the cola bottle.

”Instructor Yang, I’m suddenly feeling a bit dizzy.

”If there’s nothing else, please feel free to leave, sister, help me see him out.”

Su Yue shook his head in disappointment.

”Yang Lezhi, are you fooling my little brother?

”Hand over the Stinking Herb, I know you obtained a piece in the Wetlands, don’t think I’m clueless.”

Xu Baiyan said with a stern face.

Stinking Herb?

Wetlands?

Su Yue immediately became interested.

”Xu Baiyan, Su Yue hasn’t reached the sealed level yet, what does he need Stinking Herb for?

”I need it for refining medicine to break through the fourth level, I’m still looking to settle a score with the president, you’re really kicking me when I’m down.”

Yang Lezhi looked heartbroken.

Blame myself for bragging when I returned from the Wetlands.

And now, I’m the target of thieves.

Damn it!

I must learn to keep a low profile from now on.

”Once my brother recovers, he can seal his level!

”In theory, exceeding 30 cal can consume Stinking Herb, with luck, it can raise 2 cal of Qi Blood.”

Xu Baiyan was relentless.

”Goddess, it’s got an expiry date, I came back this time to refine medicine at the Research Institute, can’t wait until your brother seals his level.

”Look for yourself.”

Yang Lezhi opened his backpack.

Instantly, an odor of ancient dung filled the room.

Su Yue looked at the sealed jar.

If the lid was removed, it might suffocate someone outright.

Su Yue’s sense of taste temporarily vanished, but his sense of smell remained, it was genuinely foul.

Xu Baiyan also frowned.

She glanced at it, judging by the looks that it was indeed expiring.

”Sister, tell him to take this jar of crap away.”

Su Yue couldn’t bear it any longer.

Biting to the eyes.

”This is Stinking Herb, a product from the Wetlands, despite its foul smell, it’s a treasure for low-level martial artists.

”Do you know why the Military Qi Blood Pill is so effective? Because it contains a few grams of Stinking Herb powder.

”Consuming such a large piece, even a first-level martial artist could increase their Qi Blood by 2 cal.

”Pity, you’re not sealed yet.”

Xu Baiyan lamented.

Stinking Herb is very precious, generally impossible to purchase.

”2 cal Qi Blood?

”I’m not sealed, the improvement is much harder than for sealed martial artists, but increasing 1 cal Qi Blood shouldn’t be a problem.”

Su Yue rubbed his eyes pierced by the pungency, frowning.

This could be faster than hard training.

”Sister, give me a piece of Stinking Herb!”

Su Yue said.

”You’re severely injured now, it will take at least a week to heal, sealing will also take a while, expired Stinking Herb is toxic.”

Xu Baiyan explained.

”No problem, I can eat it now, I won’t seal it, I still need Bone-Washing, Second Washing... Thunder King!”

Su Yue exclaimed.

”What!”

”Second Washing!”

Xu Baiyan and Yang Lezhi stood up simultaneously, exclaiming in astonishment.

”Little brother, don’t joke, with the energy for a second washing, you might reach the second level.

”Plus, a second washing martial artist in the Wetlands is too dangerous!”

Xu Baiyan said anxiously.
