157: Help Xia Weiyu break through to the third rank
Seeing that the few people had no objections, Su Chen stated his requirement:
"For these three days, you five, including Long Yiyi, will spar with Xia Weiyu. Long Hanjie, you will observe from the side, offering guidance and analyzing right from wrong.
Help Xia Weiyu Breakthrough to the Third Grade Realm."
The day of the gathering on the 8th, when we don't depart, also counts as a day. Breaking through to Third Grade within three days, compared to overtime cultivation fueled by Spirit Stones, direct combat sparring leads to faster growth.
What Xia Weiyu lacks most is actual combat experience. As long as her strength reaches the level, breaking through the Bottleneck and advancing to Third Grade is not a problem.
Sparring with people of comparable strength allows one to discover their own strengths and weaknesses during the fight, enabling them to overcome them. These are very important.
Having Long Yiyi and the others accompany Xia Weiyu in sparring for three days is the best possible arrangement.
"This is the requirement. Fulfill this, and the weapons can be sold to you.
I won't have you work for free either. For these three days, your food, drink, healing potions, and Spiritual Power Recovery Potions are on me."
"No problem!"
Just sparring for three days; they would have agreed to such a small matter even if asked normally.
Moreover, now that they needed a favor, Long Hanjie and the others agreed. Xu Shaoqing and the other two also wanted to spar with Xia Weiyu a few times to improve their own strength.
"Then it's settled. We'll start after breakfast."
Su Chen readily handed over the weapons to them, and then received 160 lottery tickets from Long Hanjie and the other two.
Just considering these lottery tickets, the cost of the weapons was already recouped.
He could also spend more time with them over these three days. With a better relationship, obtaining lottery tickets would be even more convenient... After the discussion was settled, the group ate breakfast and returned to the wasteland from earlier.
This place was open and undisturbed, making it perfectly suitable as a sparring ground.
"Weiyu, for these three days, your main focus will be sparring with them. These five are not weak, and they've already seen through your trump cards. Your advantages will be much smaller now.
In terms of growth, this is beneficial for you. Try to impact the Third Grade again after three days; by then, it will surely come naturally."
"Thank you, Su Chen. I've troubled you to make me stronger."
'Ding, gained Xia Weiyu favorability, lottery tickets +999.'
"Talking about thanks between the two of us is being too formal!"
In the morning, Xia Weiyu sparred with Long Yiyi and the other four, taking them on in turns to maximize the speed of her improvement.
Su Chen wasn't idle either. Although there were only three days,
he also wanted to maximize the comfort of the environment for Long Hanjie and the others.
While the others sparred, Su Chen took a taxi to the market.
He bought two residential shipping containers and quickly modified them.
He changed one side of a container into a floor-to-ceiling glass window. The interior was also arranged like a living room, complete with a sofa, coffee table, water dispenser, refrigerator, and everything needed.
He also installed solar panels and a small generator to power the air conditioner and refrigerator inside.
A separate toilet also had to be arranged.
The two containers were separate, but placed together they could form a long, open corridor-style living room.
Although time was tight in the morning, with his money power, the workers finished quickly.
The two modified containers had sofas and beds. Whether they wanted to rest or play was no problem, saving them the trouble of going back and forth to restaurants... Once everything was ready, Su Chen quickly returned. Seeing the men covered in dust, he knew he had done the right thing.
"It's getting late. Let's rest for a bit and eat."
As he spoke, Su Chen took out the containers he had modified in the morning. Putting the two together formed a long corridor-style living room.
In this chilly wasteland, the inside was simply like heaven.
"Come in and rest. What do you want for lunch? I have everything in my Storage Space."
"Do you have grilled fish?"
"Yes."
"Zhajiangmian."
"Yes!"
Harvesting a large wave of favorability, Su Chen felt the money was well spent, instantly recouping the cost.
My efforts to improve Xia Weiyu's conditions were not in vain.
After joking around with Long Hanjie and the others for a while, Su Chen finally had time to talk to Xia Weiyu.
Seeing Xia Weiyu only eating a Flatbread for lunch, Su Chen was puzzled:
"Why are you eating this?"
"Mm, this is quite good. Haven't had it for a long time, just trying it."
Looking at Xia Weiyu's trembling hands, Su Chen understood.
This had happened before. After high-intensity combat, Xia Weiyu was too exhausted, her hands lacking the strength to hold chopsticks.
Although healing potions weren't lacking and Xia Weiyu had drunk some, these things had a cooldown period.
After drinking one dose to recover physical strength and injuries, there was a period of cooldown. Drinking another during this time was useless.
"You're pushing yourself a bit too hard.
Remember, you are an elemental Ability User. Swordplay serves an auxiliary role. Don't stubbornly resist some Moves. Focus on mastering your Water Element Technique first."
Since it was mealtime, Su Chen simply scolded her a few times and didn't bring up these unhappy matters again.
He took out a plate of Egg Fried Rice from his Storage Space:
"Here, I'll feed you."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Xia Weiyu nodded and ate the spoonful of rice Su Chen fed to her lips... Sitting together eating, Su Chen and Xia Weiyu's actions were naturally seen by the six single dogs.
This dose of 'dog food' instantly made the food in their bowls seem less appetizing.
Long Hanjie sighed:
"I remember someone named Su telling me he wouldn't fall in love until the Otherworld was at peace!"
"What someone named Su said has nothing to do with me, Su Chen?"
"Damn, that makes so much sense."
Long Hanjie, annoyed: "Su Chen, I'm out of food. Give me another portion of Daoxiao Noodles."
Seeing Su Chen really take it out, Long Hanjie wondered: "Just how much food and drink do you have in that Storage Space of yours?"
"Guess. I'll give you three chances. If you guess right, I'll give you a storage magic treasure."
A short rest at noon, and in the afternoon, Long Yiyi and the others were again accompanying Xia Weiyu in combat.
Su Chen thoughtfully stocked the refrigerator with various drinks and also placed several boxes nearby. Snacks, fruits, and dried fruits on the coffee table were also fully prepared.
Not just that, he set up a small table nearby with healing potions and Spiritual Power Recovery Potions for free use.
It was precisely this unintentional act of Su Chen's that earned him another wave of lottery tickets from the group.
They continued their Cultivation. In the afternoon, Su Chen took Xiao Qian and went out again.
Living conditions had improved, but there was still one crucial matter: the issue of physical stamina.
Now, Xia Weiyu's high-intensity sparring left her injured. healing potions had a cooldown period, preventing injuries from recovering quickly.
But if it were a Healing-type Ability User, there would be no such limitation.
In that case, he would just find another Healing-type Ability User.
The copy Ability of the Evil King True Eye had just refreshed a few days ago; it was time to use it.
Using a hint card, Su Chen quickly found a Healing-type Ability User.
A Bald Big Man who had Awakened a healing-type Ability... The two weren't familiar, so Su Chen just stared at him from afar, hoping their gazes would meet so he could copy it over.
"What are you looking at?"
The Bald Big Man, seeing Su Chen staring at him, instinctively rolled up his sleeves.
"Nothing, nothing."
