Chapter 108: Re-encountering Chen Baozi

  Thus, Wu Ye Yu had no one to restrain him for the past few days. Except for attending a gathering at the City Lord's Manor with Wu Zong Yue and Old Yu in the evening, he spent his days practicing and hanging out at the slave market, constantly shuttling between various slave tents, searching for children needed for system tasks.

  It is said that Wu Yeyu has already bought a lot of child slaves with qualifications above 85, following the tradition of not letting go of any mistakes. There are fifty-nine in total, most of whom are about the same size as Wu Yeyu.

  Even Wu Yeran, who is a year or two older, didn't let go of the opportunity and bought them out with money. After all, these people have good qualifications and it's not too late to practice at their age. Wu Yeran can't possibly wait for the system to require a few more before finding a few, that would be too passive. Besides, cultivating power is like herding sheep, whether it's one or a group, it's all about expanding one's influence.

  Among these children, most of them are girls, and they look exquisite. After being dressed up and placed in the inn, they are very eye-catching. Of course, the price is also very expensive. Wu Zongyue has been looking at Wu Yeyu with a strange gaze for the past two days, thinking that this kid will want to live a life without shame or modesty in a few years. However, Wu Yeyu ignores him and continues on his own way.

  It seems that the total amount is already sufficient, but the system specifically requires children under 9 years old. The task clearly states that it needs a child younger than Wu Ye Yu, who has been running towards this age group as a slave for the past few days. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

  Is there anything that goes as smoothly as expected? As a result, after a busy day, the target of thirty tasks is still six away. Therefore, Wu Ye Yu has been basically stuck with it for several days. When the task is really completed, he can also be at ease.

  Previously, Wu Yeyu gained a lot from his battle with the mad old man, not only did he gain some precious combat experience, but also exposed some of his own shortcomings and deficiencies.

  Needless to say about the power, Wu Yeru is now a sword cultivator, and the internal energy in his body can already be compared with that of a top swordsman. The quality of the internal energy is not a problem, it's just a matter of quantity, which can be solved through elixirs and medicines.

  Things like primary energy recovery pills, primary blue water and the like can quickly recover one's energy. Wu Yeru himself has a pill-refining system, so he can refine them himself, so this point doesn't need to be worried about. Moreover, the total amount of energy is increasing with the increase in cultivation, and Wu Yeru's cultivation speed is also there, after a few more years, this shortcoming will not be considered a shortcoming anymore.

  Then, there is the issue of Wu Yeru's own insufficient attack power. Of course, this refers to Wu Yeru's actual and practical attack power, including martial arts skills, internal energy, physical strength, etc., excluding firearms.

  Although the power of firearms is indeed very high, when Wu Yeyu previously fought against the mad old man, he just changed a magazine and replaced ordinary standard laser bullets with special armor-piercing laser bullets. The mad old man immediately fled in fear, no longer daring to confront him head-on, and its effect was naturally visible to everyone.

  But the truth is, a gun is just a tool, an external object that can temporarily increase Wu Yeran's chances of survival and victory, but it will never be able to replace his own strength. The only way to truly become strong is to strengthen oneself and improve one's own abilities.

  It's actually a good trade-off, when these two paths are laid out in front of you. One path is to rely on external objects like guns to increase your strength, with the characteristics of being quick and powerful; the other path is to work hard to strengthen yourself through persistent practice to increase your strength, with the characteristics of taking a long time, but having great power, and also having many benefits afterwards.

  If these two paths are given to people for choice, it is estimated that the number of people who choose the latter will be absolutely greater than the former, but the path chosen by most people must be a combination of both. The vast majority of people are absolutely on the road with cultivation as the main and external objects as auxiliary.

  So now Wu Ye Yu's goal is very clear, he already has a gun and can get it whenever he wants, what he lacks is a martial art that increases his attack power. The "Yu Jian Shu" obtained after completing the system task is absolutely the first choice. Therefore, after considering it seriously for a while, Wu Ye Yu exchanged another good sword from the system, which was the "Pan Zei's Blade of Rebellion", said to be a legacy left by his father. Its shape is not bad, and most importantly, it is durable and can withstand the test of time. Looking at how Pan Zei has chopped so many things without even a slight scratch on the blade, its tenacity is evident. Moreover, it can be easily attached to his back, making him look very cool, and there's no need to worry about it falling off, which is quite amazing.

  Thirdly, Wu Yeru's inadequacy lies in his application of the Innate Boundary. After seeing that one tall stone pillar rising high before meeting Wu Zongyue, Wu Yeru felt that the gap between himself and Benyi Old Man was really too big. Is his own Innate Boundary just a purely auxiliary type? On this point, Wu Yeru also asked for advice from Wu Zongyue, but the answer he got was that everyone's Innate Boundary is different, and one can only find their own way forward by themselves.

  Facing this answer that was equivalent to not saying anything, Wu Yeru turned around and left immediately. These were all nonsense, and it's not like Wu Yeru, a transmigrator, wouldn't know this basic principle. Perhaps if I casually picked a sentence from the records of past transmigrators, it would be enough for you to understand for half a year, yet you still dare to show off in front of me...

  Pulling Xiao Tao and hugging Xiao Shan, Wu Ye Yu walked out of a slave tent with a disappointed face, apparently having gained nothing here.

  "Rubbish! It's unreasonable, just a few days ago at Chen Baozi's place, I found eleven with one glance, and now I can't find even one. Could it be that all the high-quality child slaves have been taken away?" Wu Yeyu muttered in complaint, lazily lifting his head to look around, preparing to search for the next slave tent.

  Suddenly, Wu Yeru's gaze paused, fixing his eyes on a particularly stout individual, the corners of his mouth slightly curved as he led the two people beside him over.

  "Chen Pangzi, where have you been these past few days? You've really made it hard for me to find you, humph! Alright, that day you actually dared to use me as a scapegoat, your guts aren't small, did you think hiding would make Ben Shao unable to find you? Humph!" Wu Yeru said bluntly as he walked up to the figure hiding in the shadows.

  Chen Pangzi's attention was originally not here, and as soon as he heard Wu Yeyu's voice, his whole body was suddenly startled, and the layers of meat on his body began to churn, making Wu Yeyu feel a wave of nausea.

  "Hey! Haha... So it's Young Master, haha... What wind brought you here? These past few days, I, Chen Baozi, haven't been avoiding you on purpose, I've just been really busy. I knew you've been buying young slaves everywhere these past few days, so I specially collected a batch of child slaves to make amends with Young Master. Haha... If you have time, come take a look at my place?" Chen Baozi turned his head and saw Wu Yeyu, his face flashing with embarrassment before he quickly put on a flattering smile and said.

  "Oh? You've been really busy these past two days, even closing the shop door. I, Young Master, ran back and forth many times but didn't see anyone. Chen Baozi, you're so busy running around for me, shouldn't I thank you?" Wu Yeru said with a slanted gaze, looking at Boss Chen, while Little Tao beside him couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. The little girl in Wu Yeru's arms yawned and found a comfortable position before falling asleep again."

  "Haha... Young Master, you're joking, aren't you? How could we dare to let you thank us? That day was indeed our fault, we wronged you by dragging you into this for no reason. We've been busy running around these past few days, not even having time to touch the ground, and I feel like I've lost a few pounds of flesh too. Hmm, this isn't a suitable place to talk, let's go back to my small shop?" Chen Pangzi said, carefully watching Wu Yeyu's expression, waiting for his response.

  Wu Yeru saw this and didn't say much, stretched out his hand to invite her, and pulled Xiaotao along as they walked forward. Chen Baozi was overjoyed and quickly followed them. After walking for a while, they arrived at the entrance of Chen Baozi's tent. The fat boss hurriedly took out the key to open the door, let Wu Yeru in, and then casually closed the door behind him. Wu Yeru didn't say anything either, standing there waiting to see what Chen Laoban would do next.

  "Heh heh! Come on, young master, please come in. I, Chen Baozi, have been busy for the past few days, running around everywhere to collect some good little slaves for you, which is why I haven't opened the door for the past two days." Baozi led the way, explaining himself as they walked.

  "With your intelligence, Young Master, you should be able to guess that if we hadn't been in a desperate situation that day, how would we have involved you in this matter? We were also forced into it. You saw those people that day, what kind of character they are, Liu Xiaoyou is not worth mentioning, purely a spoiled rich kid, with no skills himself, every day only knows how to bully us small business owners, taking bribes and gifts has long been notorious in Lin Bo City, the people following him are also not good birds, just like him."

  "At that time, Fatso could guarantee that if we didn't give him a satisfactory reply, not to mention whether this business would be done in the future or not, it's uncertain whether we can even leave Linbo City. Hehe, so bringing you into this is also an unavoidable matter, I hope Young Master won't blame us."

  "It's not like I'm blaming you, it's just a small matter. You just said so yourself, these past few days have been all about running around and collecting slaves for me. If the goods are satisfactory in the end, then everything is fine." Wu Ye Yu said nonchalantly, his previous words were just that, and he didn't actually hold much resentment towards this fat boss, after all, he was itching to take action himself...

  "Ah~! That's good, that's good, you're not blaming me, I'm done! Hehehe." Chen Pangzi heard Wu Yeyu's words and hurriedly thanked him. After that, he restored his usual smiling face, but his mouth didn't stop moving.

  "Hey! Actually, I figured it out that day. You're not a petty person, unlike that Liu guy who is far inferior to you. I took a gamble and thought you wouldn't hold it against me afterwards. After all, your caliber is much higher than his, and you won't easily hold grudges with us. We can have a reasonable conversation with you, but he's different. If we had a disagreement, it would definitely end in a big mess."

  "Oh! So, according to you, should I thank you for your affirmation of me? You're really good at picking on the weak and speaking so eloquently." Wu Ye Yu gave a cold glance to Pangzi.

  "Haha! It's not that I'm cheap, it's just that I said something wrong. But isn't this exactly what I wanted to apologize for? This time, fatty really did spend a lot of money. Not only did you collect over a thousand young slaves, which will definitely be enough for Young Master to choose from later. Even those exotic slaves, I went through great pains to get more than twenty of them for you. Young Master will definitely be satisfied!"

  Chen Pangzi's voice dropped to a very low level as he spoke in a mysterious tone to Wu Yeru.

  "Huh? A foreigner, and one that's still young too? Not even twenty yet. Let me tell you, Chen Pao, don't try to be like the other families on this square, parading some old, weak, sickly foreigners just for show. I've been to the slave market every day these past few days, and while each family has a few so-called 'foreigners', their quality is really not great, only good enough to be a novelty." Wu Ye Yu said with a slanted gaze, somewhat disapproving.

  "Haha, don't worry, young master. I've been running around for the past two days to get these goods. If it weren't for those foreigners causing trouble, I wouldn't have dared to show you such treasures. You can rest assured that they are all high-quality and from a younger generation. Just take one look and you'll know." Chen Pangzi said with some pride to Wu Yeru.

  Fatso's words successfully stirred up Wu Yeru's thoughts, and his feet unconsciously quickened their pace as he wanted to hurry over to take a look at those slaves. He thought to himself, the alien tribe was secondary, the key was that there were more than a thousand child slaves, shouldn't it be possible to select six who met the conditions from among them? It seemed like Young Master's mission had hope after all.
