Chapter 48: Incorrigible Wu Tianzhen (Second Update)

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for completing all tasks in this Undersea Tomb. Calculating rewards and distribution beginning now!"

"Completed check-in, reward: five years of internal energy."

"Completed Undersea Tomb series of tasks: Eliminated over eighty percent of water monkeys. Completion rate: ninety-three percent."

"Reward: five Blood-Replenishing Pills."

"Eliminated eighty percent of Painted Skin spirits. Completion rate: eighty percent."

"Reward: one gallbladder of a Snowy Plain Bear."

Wu Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the latter rewards. "Come on, System, you clearly know I don't need anything other than internal energy. Why are you giving me this junk?" Still, he didn't say much else.

Over the years, he had obtained quite a few heavenly treasures and rare herbs from the System, but because they were useless to him, he had thrown them all into Warehouse Eleven. Thinking about it now, though, he could give all of them to Sitel, which wouldn't be a bad idea.

By now, he had also figured out that internal energy must be the highest-level reward the System offered, and before the plot officially began, this reward hadn't even existed.

With the addition of internal energy, Wu Yu finally shook off his state of weakness. With a leap, he stepped across the waves and swiftly reached the shore.

"Damn, Master Yu, you're functioning again!" Fat Wang looked at Wu Yu excitedly.

"Go on, go on, I've always been functioning!" Wu Yu gave him an exasperated look. "Wait here, I'll go find some seafood for us. Let's eat first!"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Fat Wang and Wu Tianzhen nodded frantically upon hearing this.

To be fair, the two of them hadn't eaten for two days, so saying they weren't hungry would be a lie.

Besides, they had no idea where they currently were, and the boat was completely out of reach. All they could do was hope a passing vessel would show up. Their cell phones had long since been wrecked, cutting off any communication with the outside world.

"Alright, don't worry. I have a signal transmitter right here, prepared in advance." Wu Yu shook his head, then walked over to the Quiet Cicada Qin's case, pretending to retrieve the Blood-Replenishing Pills.

This stuff was useless to him, but to the Silent Zhang, it was nothing short of a divine artifact.

Blood-Replenishing Pills, as the name suggested, rapidly increased the amount of blood within the body upon ingestion, allowing a person to quickly snap out of a state of blood loss.

Therefore, for the Silent Zhang, who frequently had to bleed himself, this assistance was no less valuable than the Black Gold Ancient Saber.

It was just a pity the quantity was a bit low.

As for the bear gallbladder, it would have to wait. Although the System had storage space, it was a one-time-use feature. Once taken out, items could no longer be stored back inside, and the feature only applied to System rewards.

Wu Yu then plunged headfirst back into the ocean to search for food. At that moment, Sitel slithered out once again, transforming into hundreds of tiny vines that swam about. Within mere minutes, she had caught a mountain of seafood, causing Wu Yu to grin from ear to ear, completely forgetting he was still submerged in the water.

"Cough, cough, cough... Well done, Sitel!" Wu Yu laughed heartily. "Looks like things are going to be a lot more convenient for me from now on."

Seeing Wu Yu just dive into the water and immediately walk back onto the shore, Fat Wang and Tianzhen blinked in confusion. "Little brother, did something happen down there?"

"Nothing at all!" Wu Yu smiled, giving a grand wave of his hand as countless pieces of seafood were tossed ashore by Sitel.

"Holy, holy, holy shit!" Fat Wang was completely dumbfounded.

"What is going on here?!" Wu Tianzhen was equally stunned, especially as he watched those green vines dancing through the air as if they possessed a life of their own, before burrowing back into Wu Yu's sleeve, making it feel even more inexplicable.

"Nothing, just a little treasure I recently acquired." Wu Yu smiled. "Let's eat quickly. Prepare some for the Silent Zhang too, he'll soon—wait, where is Ah Ning?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Yu noticed there were only three people on the beach. Aside from the unconscious Silent Zhang, there should have been an Ah Ning among them!

"Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!"

As if answering Wu Yu, a speedboat suddenly dashed out from the side of the island, moving at breakneck speed. As it passed by, someone didn't forget to wave in greeting!

Without a doubt, it was Ah Ning.

"Damn it! You really can't trust this little hussy!" Seeing this, Fat Wang burst into a furious curse. "Master Yu, give her a flying sword!"

"Alright!" Wu Yu sneered. Just as he was about to put down his qin case, he saw Wu Tianzhen leap directly onto him, wrapping his arms around him in a death grip.

"Little brother! Big brother is begging you, let her off this once!"

"Tianzhen, you..." Fat Wang, standing nearby and witnessing this scene, genuinely had no idea what to say anymore.

"There's no saving you." Wu Yu sighed. "Fat Wang, go start a fire. The Silent Zhang won't be able to eat raw food when he wakes up."

"Leave it to me, Master Yu!" Fat Wang nodded and headed toward the nearby woods.

Meanwhile, Wu Yu set about preparing the ingredients, and before long, a grand feast was ready.

More than half an hour later, the Silent Zhang slowly opened his eyes. What surprised him, however, was the overwhelming abundance of blood surging within his body, leaving him utterly shocked.

This state was completely different from how he usually felt after losing too much blood!

"Feeling better?" Wu Yu walked over holding two lobsters and sat down. "Keep these bottles. Especially this one—it still contains four Blood-Replenishing Pills. You recovered so fast from excessive blood loss precisely because you ate one of those."

"As for the remaining bottles, some are for external injuries, some for internal injuries, and others for repelling poisons and miasma. It's true you have Qilin blood, but you shouldn't overuse the stuff. Sometimes, you just need to pop some pills!"

"Alright." The Silent Zhang slung the Black Gold Ancient Saber over his shoulder and nodded, not standing on ceremony with Wu Yu as he directly pocketed the bottles of medicine.

***

"After this discovery of the Undersea Tomb, if you want to know anything later, just ask Tianzhen. I don't know where the things you're looking for might be either," Wu Yu asked. "Where are you planning to go next?"

"I'll go search another place and see. There should be things related to my memories there," the Silent Zhang said softly.

"Alright. If you need anything, contact me anytime," Wu Yu looked at the Silent Zhang earnestly.

"Mn!" The Silent Zhang nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Since the Silent Zhang had already recovered, Wu Yu didn't wait around any longer. Not long after he fired the signal flare, a helicopter appeared in front of them.

"Little brother, your Second Uncle is really too good to you, isn't he?" Wu Tianzhen stared at Wu Yu with an incredulous look.

"What are you thinking?" Wu Yu gave an exasperated huff. "That old miser? Would he ever be willing to give me a helicopter?"

"Hard work, brother!" Wu Yu patted the pilot on the shoulder.

"You're too polite, this is just my duty. Minister Xu said if you have time, you should drop by the company for a cup of tea." The pilot smiled.

"Did he snatch some good tea from Director Zhao again?" Wu Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help feeling a bit eager.

However, the moment he thought about how he always tripped up at old man Xu's place, he quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. I drink cola now, learning from the youth!"

The pilot chuckled upon hearing this. "Minister Xu knew you'd be busy, so he already sent someone to invite you over."

"Huh?" Wu Yu couldn't help shivering. "Is he being... this polite?"

In an instant, Wu Yu wilted completely like a frostbitten eggplant.

Fat Wang and Tianzhen in the backseat, however, grew curious. "Tianzhen, what's wrong with Master Yu? A minister? That sounds like a pretty big official!"
