"What would I get from this?"
"Fruits and vegetables? A secret cultivation manual? "
Jiang He fiddled with the Mysterious Seed for a while before putting it away. He would have to wait until his farm leveled up.
"By the way, I have over twenty thousand Farm Points after harvesting the Yuanbao, so I could improve my martial arts."
After musing to himself for a long time, Jiang He eventually chose the Ninefold Thunderblade to make up for his weak offense … of course, that was only relative to top rank-nines.
[Ding!]
[-10,000 Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have gained Mastery over the Second Fold of the Ninefold Thunderblade, a high-grade blade technique.]
Jiang He arrived outside his yard.
Whipping out his Dragon-Slaying Saber, he directed his True Qi and swung it up in the air. With a thunderous rumble, a twenty-meter thunder slash descended from the skies.
Kaboom!
Across the alley, a house was directly cut into pieces.
"The power of this slash is not bad. I reckon that I can kill an upper-class Rank-8 martial artist in a few slashes without using my sword-riding ability. But it's not as good as an upper-class Rank-9 martial artist."
Jiang He made an estimation.
If he had to face a rank-eight like Guilty Star again, his twenty-meter thunder slash would definitely leave him unable to retaliate.
He would die if he could not block a few slashes.
This was the advantage of the "Ninefold Thunder Blade". It was powerful and overbearing, suppressing people with "momentum". If you can't break my first blade, the second and third blade will come, and you won't even have the chance to breathe, not even the qualification to fight back.
Still, that was a disadvantage as well as an advantage.
An elite like the Sky Demon Cult's Third Elder would not die even after dozens of slashes. Moreover, while the Ninefold Thunderblade was powerful and overbearing, it lacked variation and was straightforward. If the Third Elder seized the opportunity to counterattack, Jiang He would definitely lose.
"Luckily, I have the Dark Golden Combat Armor."
With it, he could basically ignore most rank-nines' counterattacks. You can hit me all you want when the time comes since you wouldn't be able to hurt me, and you would be maimed if you could not block a few of my slashes.
Returning home, Jiang He took out a piece of mutated black wood-ear and gave it to Sora.
There was meat in the fridge.
It was filled to the brim with Leopard Python and Feral Ox meat that Jiang Hai had stuffed in. Sora had become much more proficient in cooking recently, and she knew Jiang Hai's taste buds.
Jiang He liked spicy food and a moderate amount of salt, but he did not like coriander. He preferred meat, and when he stir-fried, the ratio of meat to vegetables was almost always 2: 1. Since he had a lot of Feral meat at home, each Feral would easily weigh over a thousand catties, and most of them could be measured in tons.
After a while, a fragrant aroma wafted out of the kitchen.
Just then, the sound of a car braking came from outside the door.
Jiang He's spirit extended and scanned the area, and his face darkened.
Mu Wanqiu …
This woman hasn't sent me a message for a few days, and the moment she appeared, she came at mealtime. Is she trying to get a free meal?
More importantly, Mu Wanqiu wasn't the only one who came. There were three trucks behind her, and there were two people in each truck.
Jiang He went to greet her. "Where have you been these last few days, Mu Wanqiu? You didn't even send me a message. Do you still want those three vicious beasts? They eat a few hundred kilograms of meat a day. I can barely afford to raise them. "
"Yes, yes, of course."
Mu Wanqiu quickly explained, "That rank-seven Feral black panther is so powerful that ordinary cages wouldn't be able to hold it. That's why I went back to headquarters and had my grandfather build a special cage for me."
She pointed outside.
Outside, there was indeed a huge alloy cage on each of the three trucks.
The cages were over three meters tall and around thirteen meters long, and were welded together with solid alloy the thickness of a water pipe.
"Tut, tut."
"Is the Superpower Research Department that rich?"
Jiang He could not help exclaiming after a glance. "If I'm not mistaken, the cage on the third truck is mixed with S-grade alloy, isn't it? That's not a small sum. Wouldn't that cage cost a few hundred million? "
An S-grade combat blade alone would cost several dozen million.
Even if the cage was only made with 10: 1 or 20: 1 S-grade alloy, it would still be around two to three hundred kilograms, which was a huge sum.
Still, it made sense when he thought about it.
The black panther was a rank-seven advanced Feral, and normal metal cages would not hold it.
Moreover, what kind of place was the Superpower Research Department?
Everything else aside, the results of the 'pellets' and 'alloy weapons' alone were enough for the Superpower Research Department to rake in a huge profit. Since they were the ones who developed and manufactured alloys, creating a Beast Cage that was mixed with a few hundred kilograms of S-grade alloy was all too easy.
Jiang He even went outside to study the alloy cage, and could not help frowning. "It's quite sturdy, but could the welds withstand the impact of a rank-seven Feral?"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Mu Wanqiu took out something that resembled a remote control.
She pressed a button on the metal cage, and an electric current promptly flashed over the cage.
"We have connected these cages to high-voltage electricity of several thousand volts. According to the experimental data of the Superpower Research Department, even a rank-nine martial artist would be knocked out in an instant. Even if a Feral has thick skin, a rank-seven advanced black panther would not be able to withstand it."
"Moreover, the electric current on the cage can be activated through vibrations, and the high-voltage current would instantly be unleashed if a Feral were to crash into the cage … eh?"
Suddenly, Mu Wanqiu cried out in surprise. "Jiang He, no …"
She saw Jiang He's hand reaching for the cage that had just been connected to several thousand volts of high-voltage current.
Crying out in surprise, Mu Wanqiu tried to turn off the remote control, but it was already too late.
Jiang He's hand was placed on top of the cage, and electrical arcs that resembled flames instantly shone over the metal cage and surged wildly towards Jiang He. Jiang He could not help shuddering a few times.
Releasing his hand, he could not help inhaling sharply!
"Gasp!
"The high-voltage current is actually that frightening?
"Even with my physical fitness, I was paralyzed for a second after being electrocuted. If the voltage of the electric current was five times or ten times higher, I might even pass out."
"…"
Mu Wanqiu's mouth hung open.
It was only then that she turned off the electric current, and in the end … she could not say a word.
Even so, the Superpower Research Department personnel who came with her were all gaping and tongue-tied, as if petrified.
What the hell!
What the heck?
The high-voltage current that could knock out even rank-nine martial artists was ineffective against him???
Jiang He did not care.
He barked 'big kitty' at the yard, and in the next split second, the black panther had darted towards Jiang He with its two lackeys. Jiang He pointed at the cage and gestured for the black panther to go inside. The black panther refused, and so Jiang He whipped out his Dragon-Slaying Saber to reason with it.
In the end, the black panther shuddered at Jiang He's' reasoning ', and crawled into the cage on its own.
"What the heck?"
"Why the long face … it's not like I'm sending you to your death. I'm just asking you to cooperate with this missy's research. Cheer up!" After scolding it a few times, the black panther actually put on a very human-like 'wronged and forced' smile.
He even told Mu Wanqiu about it.
Drag him back and experiment with all his might. It didn't matter even if he killed him, as long as he could bring back an intact corpse.
Mu Wanqiu could not decide whether to laugh or cry.
Isn't that black panther your pet?
Who would screw over a pet like that?
"Our research only requires the living essence of Ferals, and we don't need to slice them. Ferals' lives would not be endangered under normal circumstances … by the way, do you want cash, medicinal pellets, weapons, or cultivation manuals?"
An idea occurred to Jiang He, and he asked, "Do you have Orirocks?"
(PS: Something cropped up at home, so that's all for today. I'll make it up tomorrow. Sorry.)
