Chapter 74: Chapter 0074: Harvest
Su Lu found a forest rangerâs temporary dwelling, which was currently unoccupied.
Dora helped the violent woman sit down. The woman snorted coldly, pulled out a silver dagger, and forcefully dug out a bullet from her arm.
The wound was gushing blood from being sliced open, an agonizing sight to Su Lu.
This violent woman was ruthless, not just to others, but even more so to herself.
âWhatâre you looking at!â
She gasped for breath, her mouth twitching slightly: âHavenât seen a woman before?â
âIndeed, itâs rare to see such a fierce womanâŠâ Su Lu showed no emotional reaction, and asked expressionlessly: âAre you a transcendent?â
The violent woman replied confidently. Both Su Luâs spirit oppression and his strength and speed were beyond what any ordinary person possessed.
âSisterâŠwhat are you guys talking about?â
Dora opened her eyes wide, completely confused.
Su Lu was shocked. The sister was a transcendent and yet the younger sister did not know?
âDora, Iâm sorryâŠthere are some things that itâs better you donât know.â The violent woman gestured towards the door with her eyes: âGo find some water, be careful not to be noticed. AndâŠdonât eavesdrop!â
She clearly knew her sister well.
âHow could I eavesdrop?â
Dora stuck out her tongue. Although she really wanted to stay, she was so accustomed to her sisterâs commands that she obediently left.
âMy transcendent profession comes from a professor I met in school. I didnât want to involve DoraâŠ
The violent woman sighed, watching the departing figure of her sister: âLet me introduce myself. My name is Angie! Angie Ribby!â
âSu Lu! Su Lu Pottery! A friend of Ms. Dora!â Su Lu shrugged his response. The next moment, his eyes widened.
Angie rolled up her sleeve, took out a red blood vial, a yellow tube, a hanging needle⊠She skillfully inserted the needle into a vein and began blood transfusion.
As the blood flowed into her body, her originally pale face turned rosy, and even the wound on her hand began to heal quickly.
âThis is âblood therapyâ, my occupational pedigree!â
Angie rolled her eyes: âMy profession leans towards healing, good at mixing various bloods; I use blood transfusions for treatment. This is the most basic healing blood vial. I added slug blood to speed up wound recovery!â
âThatâs not scientific⊠no! What I mean is⊠thatâs very mystical! No! A slugâs doesnât have blood, right?â
Su Lu really wanted to ask a question, arenât you first going to match the blood type and check for agglutination reactions?
Later when he thought about it, since it went across species, why should he bother about matching blood types?
The problems with this were so many, he didnât even know where to begin complaining.
âI like to call it blood, got a problem with that?â
Angieâs wound had healed. She tidied herself up, packed away her equipment, and spoke seriously: âThank you for saving me, in the future Iâll give you one free treatment! ButâŠplease stay away from my sister, I want her to be a normal person!â
For a person like her, who was seemingly aloof but deeply cared for her sister, Su Lu immediately gave his guarantee.
In fact, in his perspective, Angie was far more valuable than her sister.
She was a transcendent doctor!
Though it pains him to say, perhaps one day he would need her help.
After all, no one can guarantee they will always be healthy and safe!
Just the thought of being injected with all sorts of bizarre blood gave Su Lu goosebumps, and he deeply felt that he should avoid contacting Dr. Angie in the future unless absolutely necessary.
âHow should I reach you?â
âNia City Ribby Clinic, Iâm a doctor there!â Angie nodded: âMy sister should be back soon. â
She nodded at him, her intentions very evident.
âWell then⊠hope we wonât meet again!â Su Lu politely bowed and quickly left.
He still had a lot on his plate to take care of.
Especially the scenario at Kiraâs apartment, the stage was already set, just waiting for the characters to step on.
Not long after he left, Miss Dora came in carrying a bucket of water and asked in surprise: âWhereâs Mr. Pottery?â
âHow could you do this?â Dora dumped the water bucket on the ground in anger: âHe saved us!â
âYouâre also dangerous⊠I finally know, the secret youâve been hiding!â
Tears welled up in Doraâs eyes: âWhy⊠why donât you ever let me ask you about this? Why keep it a secret from me?â
âYou donât need to know these things!â
Angie was cold and expressionless: âIâve booked the train tickets for tonight, weâre going home!â
âAngie Ribby, huh? Interesting!â
While hurrying along, Su Lu began to ponder: âI forgot to ask about her transcendent profession, but that would be crass⊠knowing sheâs from the medical field is enough!â
He remembered the anaesthetic gas that Angie had used back at the factory, which mustâve been one of her abilities.
It works well on ordinary people, but he wasnât sure about its effect on transcendent beings. He certainly didnât want to be the one to test it.
After returning to the inn, he looked at the pool of experience in his property bar.
After the slaughter, the accumulation of experience was formidable.
Not only from the previous black market stronghold, but more importantly, the factory battle where he took down a beak monster, purified many wandering spirits and killed a bunch of thugs.
This was the largest amount of experience he had gained in a single instance, and it was even enough to advance to [Mystical Scholar]!
âTo advance from first level to second requires 400 experience points?â
Su Lu pondered: âNo⊠it looks like just 400, but in reality, the previous skill and attribute enhancements are all included⊠a new [Spirit Medium] cannot directly advance!â
Although he could advance to [Mystical Scholar], this would mean his strength would increase further. From then on, ordinary people probably wouldnât be able to provide him with much experience, even if he killed them!
âDamn experience penalty rules, based on what I know about it, the best strategy would be to suppress oneâs rank and try to harvest as much experience as possible early on⊠but if your strength is too low, itâs very easy to fail. And once your strength is high, the experience provided by low-rank targets decreases sharply. Itâs truly a dilemmaâŠâ
If back when he got the property bar he had done what he did now, the experience he got mightâve even been doubled!
But more likely, he would have ended up dead at the hands of a gunman.
So, every choice has its pros and cons, and itâs for him to decide!
âLooking at the experience penalty or deduction rules, you should suppress your own rank at the very beginning and try to reap as much experience as possible, to avoid the awkward position of being a high-ranker with no available experience⊠butâŠâ
Su Lu wore a contemplative look: âThis time, itâs for the inheritance, I just got to go all out! A first-rank [Spirit Medium] canât deal with a second-rank evil spirit!â
He had made up his mind to sacrifice some of the future for an increase in current strength!
Without the present, what future is there talk of?
Su Lu decided, he will promote himself immediately to [Mystical Scholar]!
