Chapter 255: Forgetful Su Yu (2)

After saying all that, Bai Feng stopped talking. He was planning to look for Liu Hong and ask for some money later. Thus, he prepared to leave. Just before leaving, he asked, "Have you been feeding those fellows in the prison zone?"

"Yeah."

Su Yu hurriedly answered, but he immediately trembled. He had only fed them once. And...he had last fed them on the 9th. What was the date today?

"Teacher...is it...the 21st today?"

"You're asking me?"

Bai Feng was speechless. He had just left seclusion!

But he still nodded, "I think…I’ve been feeding them."

"..."

Su Yu said nothing. Those fellows should be fine, right? Previously, he had let them starve for 10 days yet none of them were dead. This time, he had only starved them for 12 days. Forget it. He would feed them later. They should be fine.

He believed that like him, Bai Feng must have often forgotten to feed them as well. Those fellows were too easy to forget. And they hadn't even given him any benefits. Since he had been busy scheming against others recently, he had completely forgotten about them.

Bai Feng seemed to realize something as he awkwardly said, "Just...make sure they're alive. Otherwise, both of us would suffer when your grandteacher returns!" His student was really excessive! Why did he feel like his student was going to starve those fellows to death?

Su Yu shut his mouth awkwardly. He hadn't been deliberately starving them. He had really been too busy and forgotten about them.

"Teacher, I'll feed them later."

At that moment, his communicator rang.

When he took a look at it, he hurriedly said, "Teacher, I still have something to take care of. If you don't need anything else, I'll be taking my leave."

"Go."

Bai Feng waved his hand. Su Yu immediately ran off. Xia Huyou was getting impatient waiting for him. As for the creatures, he would just feed them later when he came back. He kept reminding himself to not forget those fellows later. It wouldn't be good for him if he really starved them to death.

"Feed them tonight!"

With that thought, he left the research center.

Prison zone.

At this point, even the shadow was starting to lose his patience as he said, "We seem to have encountered an extremely unreliable caretaker. He is too irresponsible. If this continues, we might really starve to death..."

"Next time..." The golden lion said weakly, "The next time he comes, I'll give him something good. I won't even ask for freedom. I only need some food. I'm going to die soon."

What else could he ask for?

Forget about freedom. But please feed them on time! Please!

The others remained silent. They were trying to save as much energy as possible. Nobody knew when that fellow would come. Talking would only waste more of their energy. They were really on the verge of starving to death.

Once again, Su Yu arrived at the Education District.

Xia Huyou helplessly said, "Your teacher is fine. Why did you run off so quickly? Like I said, don't believe any rumors in the academy!"

"Cough, cough." Su Yu coughed awkwardly.

Xia Huyou curiously said, "By the way, I heard that a student's Divine Character broke through over there. Was that you?"

"Nope." Su Yu shook his head, "I only have a single second tier character. You know about that."

"Oh." Xia Huyou nodded. He knew about the illusion-making character.

Well, the crowd must have misunderstood Su Yu. He wasn't too bothered about it. Second tier characters might be strong, but illusions were not too hard to defend against if one was prepared. That character of Su Yu wasn't a particularly powerful one in terms of destructive power.

Su Yu did not waste any time and said, "So according to our previous agreement, I need 500 drops of Infinite Strength mountainbreak bull blood essence. I also need the blood essence of some other races in the Great Strength and Infinite Strength Realms. Give me a drop of any blood essence you can get your hands on."

Xia Huyou said, "You ran off too hastily earlier so I wasn't able to explain. Su Yu, do you know how many races there are in existence? Just the Xia Trade Company alone has access to the blood essence of 879 races.

"Great Strength blood essence is cheaper. You can get it for as cheap as one merit point per drop. Even the more expensive types won't go for more than ten merit points per drop like the mountainbreak bull blood essence. As for Infinite Strength blood essence, some are even more expensive than mountainbreak bull blood essene..."

After making a short calculation, Xia Huyou continued, "You will need over 10,000 merit points to buy that much blood essence. Are you sure?"

Over 10,000 merit points!

Su Yu's jaw dropped. But soon, he understood. There were thousands of blood essence in existence. And he wanted to buy Infinite Strength blood essence. The price naturally wouldn't be low.

But since he needed to pay over 10,000 merit points, he gave up. He still wasn't willing to spend that much money on some random blood essence.

He helplessly said, "Then forget about Infinite Strength blood essence. Collect a sample of each different Great Strength blood essence for me. How much would that cost?"

"That is much cheaper." Xia Huyou said, "Blood essence of races outside the top 100 won't be too expensive. Even the blood essence of top 100 races won't go for more than 10 merit points per drop. Of course, the top 10 races are different. And you won't be able to buy their blood essence anyway. Hmm, if you really want to buy everything I can get, you will need around 2,000 merit points."

Su Yu was still hesitant to spend that much money. That was too expensive.

But he also wanted to activate more pages in his book and gain access to more cultivation methods. Thus, he clenched his teeth and nodded, "Fine. I'll do it!"

Xia Huyou smiled. In that case, this transaction would reach a value of 7,000 merit points including the 500 drops of mountainbreak bull blood essence.

It was obvious Su Yu had earned a lot of money from his recent scheme.

"Anything else?" Xia Huyou suggested, "You have some broken bones. Although you have set your bones back, recovery will still take some time. I can recommend some good pills and natural herbs that can help you recover faster."

"And how much would that cost me?"

"It's cheap. You only need around 100 merit points. I guarantee you will make a full recovery in three days without any aftereffects."

Su Yu gnashed his teeth. Cheap his ass. 100 merit points were absolutely not a small sum of money.

Su Yu exhaled deeply and decided to ignore that offer. He said, "By the way, I need more human willpower texts. What's the price on the market?"

"100 to 300 for Great Strength texts and 300 to 500 for Infinite Strength texts. As for Skysoar texts, they cost more than 500 per text. You need over 1,000 for each Mountainsea text."

Xia Huyou continued his explanation, "It depends on what you want. For example, the Skybreak Technique you got before contains the moves for the Great Strength and Infinite Strength Realms. However, it was written by a Mountainsea. Thus, it was worth 1,500 merit points."

The value of a willpower text not only relied on its writer, but its content as well.

Su Yu nodded. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't care about the content. I only need the cheapest willpower texts. Gather a few dozen of them for me. How much do I need to pay you for that?"

"A few dozen?"

This was another big transaction!

Xia Huyou asked in astonishment, "Why do you need so many willpower texts? Forming Divine Characters? Su Yu, I suggest you attend those public classes. That is a much cheaper option. It's not worth buying so many willpower texts."

Even the cheapest willpower text would have a price of roughly 100 merit points. That was too expensive.

Su Yu took a deep breath. He had no choice. He needed to form a lot of Divine Characters. He wouldn't be able to do anything without willpower texts. And he couldn't even use myriad race texts. He was only limited to human texts.

Unfortunately, human willpower texts couldn't be kept for long. There weren't a lot of human willpower texts in the books depository. Most humans would choose to study a human willpower text during the writing process itself. But Su Yu did not have enough time for that. Furthermore, if he did that, others would know how many characters he had formed.

Why? Because the characters in the text would dim after someone formed the same character from reading the text. It would be fine if he only formed one or two characters. But if others found out that he could form a character from each text he read, he would be in deep trouble.

The entire academy would learn of that. How was he supposed to explain that? And why did he need so many characters? Thus, he could only buy his own willpower texts and study privately.

If possible, he wanted to save money and attend the public classes as well. But his circumstances did not allow that.

"Cut the crap. Just get what I want for me. I'll buy 30 texts for now. I want the cheapest of them. Try to find those that are only worth 100 merit points per text. Also, each copy must be different from each other. Will 3,000 merit points be enough?"

"Yeah. That's doable."

Xia Huyou nodded. He couldn't stop smiling.

A lot of these inferior willpower texts were basically the product created by Skysoar cultivators while practicing to write willpower texts. Most of the time, these garbage texts would remain unsold. Thus, every purchase would be greatly welcomed.

After a short calculation, Xia Huyou realized that this transaction with Su Yu had reached a value of 10,000 merit points! This was truly a big transaction and Su Yu was truly a big customer! And this fellow was very willing to spend his money.

Su Yu sighed. 20,000 merit points sounded like a lot of money. But when he started spending them, he found that they weren't a lot after all.

And he hadn't even bought that much stuff. He had only bought 500 drops of mountainbreak bull blood essence, some blood essence samples, and some garbage willpower texts. And 10,000 merit points were gone just like that.

"By the way, get me some of those healing items as well. Consider them your gift to me."

Xia Huyou had a look of hesitation. After a while, he sullenly said, "Brother, I am only making about 100 merit points from your transaction. With this request, I would earn nothing."

Su Yu stared at him silently. Xia Huyou continued complaining for a long while, acting like he was going to lose 100 million merit points. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. You can have them for free!"

Su Yu rolled his eyes. Who would believe that Xia Huyou was making so little profit? That was a transaction worth 10,000 merit points!

Su Yu exhaled deeply. Even 20,000 merit points weren't enough for him anymore. The willpower texts, in particular, needed a lot of money. More importantly, the willpower texts had no resale value. Human willpower texts could not be kept for long as the willpower would slowly dissipate over time.

Furthermore, he couldn't sell the willpower texts he had formed characters from even if those texts still could be used. He would only leak his own progress doing so. Those dim characters in the text would be obvious giveaways. Reselling those texts would only expose his own secret.

"20,000 merit points..."

Su Yu had a bitter feeling. Previously, he felt that he had earned a lot of money. But now, he found out that 20,000 merit points were nothing. As for the remaining 10,000 merit points, he was planning to keep them around.

After all, he never knew when he would need more money. But the 500 drops of mountainbreak bull blood essence he just bought might not be enough for him.

After the talk with Xia Huyou, Su Yu started heading back. Suddenly, he noticed a familiar face on the street. He noticed that person from far away. His mouth had barely opened when the other person noticed him and hurriedly ran off.

Su Yu swallowed the greeting that was about to leave his mouth. What was going on? He didn't remember provoking that person recently.

Not far away.

Wu Lan was running quickly. She was feeling all sorts of emotions. Sullenness, grief, indignation, despair, pain, and hesitation. Her pride had been smashed apart.

"Why am I only at the second-stage Great Strength Realm? Su Yu is definitely aware of that! He is here to mock me! I saw him smiling! He had a cocky smile on his face!"

Wu Lan was heartbroken. She had broken through recently. And she had even done it in a grotto. She had entered the grotto confidently, expecting herself to reach the third stage. Never once had she doubted herself.

Ultimately, she was only able to barely open 12 acupoints, reaching the second stage. After that cultivation session, she felt like killing herself.

Why?

Thus, when she saw Su Yu, she was certain that Su Yu was here to mock her. In that situation, how could she not run? She was too embarrassed to see anyone!

Su Yu was completely confused, but he wasn't too worried about it. He was only slightly curious.

Whatever. Forget it.

But what was he planning to do later? He was supposed to do something after returning, right? But he had completely forgotten after seeing Wu Lan's odd behavior.

He scratched his head in confusion. He was supposed to have a good memory. Why was he so forgetful recently?

"Are my Divine Characters too strong, to the point my mental strength is being suppressed?"

He muttered to himself. That might be the case. Whatever. The thing he had forgotten was probably something unimportant. Since he had forgotten, so be it.
