Chapter 35: The Talkative Fighting God
【To ensure your safety, you don’t immediately start killing. Instead, you scout the area for information about the bug swarm, trying to avoid strong swarms.】
【Your goal is clear: you’re here to harvest wealth, not to die.】
【Oh, God of Wealth, who preys on the weak and fears the strong! Only when facing the weakest bug swarms do you dare to be so bold.】
【You lure five nearby Flying Bugs by pretending to be weak.】
【You attack the Flying Bugs and win.】
【Wealth Source Value +0.0005.】
【You make some noise and attract four more Flying Bugs.】
【You seize the moment and attack.】
【Wealth Source Value +0.0004.】
【……】
Su Wen watched the words flicker before him, slightly frowning.
The text was repetitive, detailing how he lured and killed Flying Bugs in the future timeline.
Each Flying Bug is worth one thousand yuan. While free stuff is nice, he spent ten million to open the chaos in time and space.
The main mission is to find the human resistance base and bring back martial arts innovations and useful information from the next ten years.
The gains from these Flying Bugs are too small compared to his expenses.
At one thousand yuan per Flying Bug, he’d need to kill ten thousand just to break even.
And that’s just breaking even!
Crossing time and space without profit is a loss in a way.
Plus, he’s in a dangerous area, surrounded by powerful bug swarms. It’s only a matter of time before he’s caught hunting them.
Yet this time, he went straight for the Flying Bugs, leaving himself no choice.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
“I heard the God of Wealth is here. Where is he?”
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
“Brother God of Wealth, can we talk? If it’s okay, I’ll come in.”
“Come in!”
Su Wen thought for a moment and then answered.
As soon as he spoke, a strong man in a black coat and a blood-black mask pushed the door open and entered.
“Not bad, not bad!”
“With you here, I don’t think we’ll be short on money anymore.”
“In every folk tale, the God of Wealth is a symbol of endless riches!”
The strong man paused for a moment and then said, “I forgot to introduce myself; I am the Fighting God, with ‘fighting’ in my name.”
“I just returned from the Arrow Realm and heard that the organization has accepted new members, so I hurried back.”
“So, what do you say? Should we have a meal together tonight and have a drink?”
Su Wen chuckled softly and replied, “Brother Fighting God, I don’t drink much.”
The Fighting God waved his hand and said, “Hey! Who in the world can’t drink? After drinking a little, you’ll get the hang of it!”
“And you just finished your training, right? With your current physical fitness, if it’s too much, just use your energy to break down the alcohol within you. We can keep ourselves in a slightly tipsy state while drinking.”
“I’ll tell you, when relaxing during calm times, being a little tipsy is the most comfortable and enjoyable state of mind.”
As he spoke, the Fighting God waved his hand, and a glass of water flew into his hand.
“I’m a bit thirsty; wait while I drink some water.”
“Honestly, I’m really excited about your arrival! Don’t misunderstand; my orientation is quite normal, and I have no peculiar preferences.”
“You see, the God of Theater doesn’t like drinking at all; he just wants to tinker with his theatrical theories and experiments. When he talks, it’s all about dramas, occasionally mentioning movies from decades ago.”
“And I’m a bit afraid of the God of Theater; I fear he might suddenly say something about being destined to die. His theory of Cruel Drama almost made me go insane last time.”
“You haven’t experienced it yet, but when you do, you’ll understand.”
“As for the Wind God? He’s still a kid. Although I enjoy drinking, I can’t lead a primary school student astray, can I?”
“And the Star God? Hmm… he’s very busy, and he’s dealing with big matters. It’s better not to delay national affairs.”
“So, I’ve been waiting for a brother who can drink with me to join the organization, and finally, you showed up.”
“What does this mean? It means we are destined to know each other!”
Su Wen listened to the Fighting God chatter on and felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
But he could hear the excitement in the Fighting God’s words; who wouldn’t be thrilled when a drinker finds a potential drinking buddy?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t very fond of alcohol.
“Brother Fighting God, I actually don’t like drinking.”
Su Wen said, “If you don’t mind, I can substitute tea for alcohol, or you can drink, and I will have a soda?”
The Fighting God paused for a moment and then suddenly asked, “Are you of legal age?”
“I am of age.”
“You’re of age and don’t drink? I drink while you have a soda? When you say that, back in my place, you’d still be sitting at the kids’ table during New Year’s dinner.”
“Where I come from, I’m still considered a kid.”
“……”
After a moment of silence, the Fighting God laughed and said, “Then no worries, take your time! If it’s alright, you can have a soda while I drink; there’s no rush.”
“Brother, when you do decide to drink in the future, you must call me.”
“If others won’t drink with you, I will definitely keep you company.”
Su Wen replied, “Sure! I will call you when I want to drink.”
“Ah!”
The Fighting God sighed lightly and then sat on the sofa, murmuring, “If alcohol is so good, why don’t you like to drink?”
“Isn’t it fun to eat and drink with friends while bragging, especially to talk about life and reminisce about the past when a little tipsy?”
“……”
Thus, the Fighting God sat in the office, his mouth running steadily.
Su Wen realized that the Fighting God was not just a drinker; he was also a chatterbox.
But since there was nothing better to do, he just accompanied the Fighting God in idle chatter while keeping an eye on the movements of “himself” in the future timeline.
During their conversation, he also learned about the current situation through the Fighting God!
【While killing Flying Bugs and harvesting wealth, the nearby giant bugs noticed the battle.】
【Oh irrational God of Wealth! You have lost your head in the profit of harvesting wealth, forgetting your current dangerous situation.】
【Fortunately, due to your timid nature, you have been paying attention to the changes in your surroundings, and after sensing something was wrong, you immediately choose to flee.】
【Then, while being chased by the giant bugs, you begin to burn your energy, going all out in a wild escape.】
【While being pursued, you can’t bother to follow the map to find human gathering places; you can only escape instinctively.】
【Wherever you can find a route that helps, wherever there are narrow caves, and wherever you can better escape the giant bugs, that’s where you go.】
【But the giant bugs are powerful, and at crucial moments, you regret not having mastered a movement technique; it would have made your escape much smoother.】
【Poor God of Wealth! Faced with the pursuit and siege of the giant bugs, will you begin practicing your movement techniques?】
