Chapter 11: Monkey Kingdom
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The Silver Coin Monkey’s body suddenly stiffened, a chill rushing to its crown.
Danger!
Run!
At this moment, those were the only thoughts racing through the Silver Coin Monkey’s mind.
It didn’t know where the danger was coming from, but the overwhelming sense of crisis left no room for hesitation. In an instant, it turned and tried to flee.
But before it could escape, a powerful fist shadow appeared from above, slamming the Silver Coin Monkey into the ground.
"Boom!"
A deep crater formed in the forest, and the shockwave uprooted nearby trees.
The Silver Coin Monkey lay in the center of the pit, blood splattered everywhere, completely immobilized.
That single punch had clearly brought the Silver Coin Monkey to the brink of death.
"That roar from the mine earlier—it must have been this Silver Coin Monkey, right?"
Su Wen noticed the silver coin mark on the monkey and mused, "Seems like the Silver Coin Monkey’s strength is still far from reaching Level One."
Without wasting another moment, he finished off the Silver Coin Monkey while it still clung to its last breath.
No time to waste—delays could lead to trouble!
Beings from the mystical realm were unpredictable. In the future, they might even attack humans, leaving them defenseless. Who knew what kind of chaos they could cause?
Even though the foundational Body Refinement Technique had emerged earlier than expected, the future was still uncertain.
All Su Wen knew was the situation in Jiang City.
And not long after he arrived, a major crisis had already erupted there. Who could say how dire things were beyond its borders?
So when it came to beings from the mystical realm, if he could kill them instantly, he shouldn’t hesitate.
"Huh? My experience points just went up by five percent?"
Su Wen noticed the boost and couldn’t help but smile.
A Copper Coin Monkey only gave 0.1 percent experience.
That meant the Silver Coin Monkey was worth fifty times as much as a Copper Coin Monkey.
"Transform one Destiny Silver Coin, Wealth Source +0.5."
"Wealth Source Value: 0.65."
Su Wen stared at the Wealth Source Value and muttered to himself, "If there are Destiny Copper Coins and Destiny Silver Coins, does that mean there are Destiny Gold Coins too?"
"The Silver Coin Monkey is fifty times stronger than the Copper Coin Monkey, so it stands to reason that the Gold Coin Monkey would be fifty times stronger than the Silver Coin Monkey, right?"
"In other words, one Destiny Gold Coin would be worth twenty-five Wealth Sources?"
"That’s… two hundred and fifty million?"
"And if the Silver Coin Monkey was that weak—killed with just a slap—then the Gold Coin Monkey’s strength must be around Level One."
"Surely, I can’t just jump to Level Two, right?"
"After all, this is just a trial in the Arrow Realm, and there shouldn’t be any overly powerful creatures… right?"
As he pondered, Su Wen suddenly remembered the cause of his death in the future timeline.
He died during an Arrow Realm exploration!
Although it seemed unlikely, what if?
Just like his earlier thoughts, if he rushed in without a clear understanding of the enemy’s strength, lured by the promise of wealth, his tragic end in the Arrow Realm would be inevitable.
So, he decided to play it safe, gather some wealth source points, and then go after the gold coins.
No need to rush!
Wasn’t it mentioned when he entered this Arrow Realm for the trial?
Freedom to explore!
Freedom to choose the way to train!
If that’s the case, why was he in such a hurry to rush in?
"First, I’ll check out the mine!"
Su Wen thought, and immediately headed toward the mine.
Moments later, he arrived near the mine.
"Is that… a Black Coin Monkey?"
Su Wen squinted as he saw a monkey nearby holding a weapon, with a black coin mark on its forehead.
He had originally thought that the Copper Coin Monkeys were just below the Silver Coin Monkeys, but now it seemed that the Copper Coin Monkeys responsible for mining were under the Black Coin Monkeys.
"These monkeys use standard weapons, meaning they belong to a unified force?"
"The Copper Coin Monkeys mine while the Black Coin Monkeys guard. This division of labor feels a lot like slaves mining with overseers watching."
"So, the Silver Coin Monkeys are the leaders of these Black Coin Monkeys?"
"This also means there are a lot of Monkey Clans nearby!"
"Whether Copper Coin Monkeys, Black Coin Monkeys, or Silver Coin Monkeys, there are many of them!"
"…"
Su Wen’s eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face, as if he saw a large number of crops ready for him to harvest.
In the next moment, he sprang up and charged directly at the Black Coin Monkeys guarding the mine.
The closest Black Coin Monkeys only felt a gust of wind rush by before they suddenly lost consciousness.
"Transforming six Destiny Black Coins, Wealth Source +0.3."
Su Wen looked around at the rushing Black Coin Monkeys and didn’t hesitate; he unleashed his full power, creating a wave of slaughter both inside and outside the mine.
One Destiny Black Coin is worth 0.05 wealth source points, five times that of the Copper Coin.
Though it may be less than the Destiny Silver Coin, the sheer number of Black Coin Monkeys made up for it!
The wealth generated from dozens of Black Coin Monkeys still surpasses that from Silver Coin Monkeys.
Killing them is as easy as swatting little chicks—one slap each, quick and efficient.
"Transforming four Destiny Black Coins, Wealth Source +0.2."
"Transforming five Destiny Black Coins, Wealth Source +0.25."
"……"
"Transforming seven Destiny Copper Coins, Wealth Source +0.07."
"Transforming three Destiny Copper Coins, Wealth Source +0.03."
"……"
Su Wen employed the lethal techniques of Tiger Fist to take down every monkey in sight.
He didn’t let a single one escape, be it Black Coin Monkeys or Copper Coin Monkeys.
It’s astonishing how, in less than a day, he evolved from a boy who had never killed to someone who could slaughter monkeys without a second thought.
The catalyst for this drastic transformation? He simply didn’t want to die.
The Star God is formidable!
Perhaps it’s fair to say that any profession with the word ‘god’ in it is bound to be powerful in combat!
He is an anomaly!
This anomaly might very well be the primary reason for his untimely demise during future explorations of the Arrow Realm.
Lacking combat power yet possessing immense potential, if he were to put himself in the shoes of a traitor, someone like him would be the first target!
His experiences in Jiang City have made it clear to him that there’s likely a traitor among humans.
For now, the only way to ensure his survival is to grow stronger!
He must seize every opportunity, amass wealth sources, and rapidly boost his own strength!
He’s uncertain whether, after leaving this trial in the Arrow Realm, he’ll encounter Destiny Coins in other realms that can be directly converted into wealth sources.
What if this is his only chance?
What if Destiny Coins in the trial Arrow Realm are a welcoming gift for the God of Wealth?
If he were to miss out on this gift due to his own… emotions, how profound would his regret be when faced with life-and-death situations in the future?
He can’t afford to gamble; the stakes are too high!
At this juncture, he must exert every ounce of his effort to carve out a path to his future!
Even if, in the next chaos in time and space, he encounters his death information again, at least he shouldn’t meet his end in such a bewildering manner.
If his future self can decode some information and offer insights and precautions to his present self, then… that would be beneficial.
"The enemy has been eradicated. Should we destroy the core of the Monkey Kingdom’s affiliated mine and reclaim the mine?"
After Su Wen dispatched the last Copper Coin Monkey, a cold notification abruptly resounded in his mind.
