Chapter 6: It Has To Be You

"Your luck is actually quite good."

As Wei Ming's emotions calmed down, Du En simply said this.

This was a fact.

If not for his cultivation art having a breakthrough last night, making his body tougher and stronger, and his magic power more refined and dense, he would have been unable to finish that whole set so quickly just now.

If this had happened yesterday, then, at best, Wei Ming would have had to have both legs rot away!

"The Boss is truly humble!"

"What do you know, this is called the demeanor of an expert!"

Everyone has gone through this; it is just a matter of sooner or later.

"In any case, he is worthy of being the Boss!"

The others cast pitiful glances one after another, wanting to offer a bit of dissuasion, appearing tactful so as not to offend Du En, but then suddenly thinking, perhaps this way, his state would calm down quickly?

In short, they wanted to speak but stopped, and still did not open their mouths.

The last person's words were only halfway out when they couldn't help but cough.

A new item appeared.

Took a bite.

Coughing at this moment, thinking of their own encounter, their mood suddenly became complex, sorrow welled up from within, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly that their own luck was truly poor, having not met Du En at that time.

"Boss, I think I've found the knack!"

Wei Ming, enduring the intense stench, helped out on the side; his taut nerves had begun to relax at this moment. If his nasal cavity hadn't been stuffed with the foul smell, which was very refreshing and sobering, he would likely have become drowsy by now due to physical and mental exhaustion.

Listening to Du En's words, Ning Caize chuckled slightly, his mood immediately improving quite a bit, and his gait even seemed lighter.

Du En considered the other person's mood, which is why he didn't say it out loud.

"Du En has real ability, cough cough cough..."

"Ugh..."

"Don't push yourself too hard, don't cause trouble for Du En."

The others moved in a panic, holding their breath, finishing in one go, and then looked at the pot of boiled monster owls with lingering fear, clearly recalling the painful experience of believing Du En's nonsense before.

In the small courtyard, Du En was boiling monster owls again.

The corpse-burying men didn't say anything either, because as long as Wei Ming experienced it for himself tonight, he would naturally wake up and start adjusting the proportions to find the ratio that suited him.

Wei Ming appeared conflicted, but still bit the bullet and spoke up.

It was even worse than the distracted, mechanical work from the morning!

How could it be, so, disgusting?!

Cooking smoke curled upward, and the stench of rot permeated the air.

Boss, how on earth did you manage to eat more than half of one, expressionless?!

Du En asked Wei Ming, who wiped away his tears, shook his head, and nodded solemnly: "I'm fine, thank you very much, Boss, for this time."

Among the people burying corpses, this Ning Caize had the most seniority, having worked for about a year, and then due to an accident, he contracted the corpse plague, turning his nineteen-year-old self into the withered, sickly appearance of a forty or fifty-year-old; the root of the illness was hard to remove, and he would always cough.

"No need to be so polite, I just did what I could."

"Are you still okay?"

During a break.

If one doesn't cultivate, one cannot improve their cultivation base; if one cannot improve their cultivation base, one can only barely maintain the status quo, and in the end, nothing has actually changed.

Facing such gazes, Du En's heart had no ripples; he simply took the lead in returning.

Wei Ming's entire face was now wrinkled into a ball; with one eye wide open and the other squinted, looking at Du En, who was currently eating the monster owl expressionless, besides pain, there was only heartfelt admiration!

It really has to be you!

He didn't dare to bite again, only wanting to swallow it whole, but it got stuck right in the middle of his throat; the strong physiological rejection forced this scene of being half-subjectively choked.

Until all the corpses were buried.

First, he took the shovel handed over by Ning Caize, leaning on it to soothe his physical fatigue while secretly pondering the relevant content of the Earth Bullet Technique.

Although it is inadvisable not to remain alert and tense, this excessive situation was clearly not a suitable choice either.

Speaking of which, Boss Du, you are truly a person born to do this job; you completely adapted and adjusted in just one day, it is truly admirable!

It really wasn't for fear of offending Du En!

Du En didn't say much, just nodded.

Once the boiled monster owl was thoroughly cooked, he was given a small leg by Du En.

Yay!

The other three immediately shouted that the Boss was mighty, and then seized the time to start resting.

Looking at him like this, Wei Ming only felt he was towering and great, and silently made a decision in his heart that he must learn from him; perhaps only in this way could he achieve his own wishes!

After a while.

Who is the one without self-awareness, causing trouble here?

"No need to say that."

Seeing Ning Caize, who was old before his time, looking like this, Du En shook his head secretly and signaled for the others to pull these two away and support them.

Then, because he got too close and smelled the odor, his old ailment was triggered, and he began to cough violently.

【Earth Bullet Technique (Novice 0/10)】

"Mm, this, shall I try?"

Turning his head to glance at Wei Ming, who was currently reflecting and wanting to turn over a new leaf, he shook his head slightly in his heart, only hoping the other party wouldn't get stuck in a dead end.

"Much obliged."

Continuing on the return journey, after a while, they returned to their residence in the shanty area outside the city.

However, he was experienced after all, and since this matter was already a foregone conclusion, he quickly regained his composure, steadied his cough, and said, "I brought extra shovels and clothes; I'll go get them now."

Ning Cai really couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, slapped him on the top of his head, and directly knocked that lump of flesh down.

Xiao Wei has gone to the extreme!

Du En didn't say much, turned his head back, grabbed Wei Ming's shovel, and carefully covered the pool of poisonous insects, along with the soil, into the shallow pit.

"Since an accident has happened now, everyone should take the opportunity to rest."

If you exhaust all your mental energy on this, how will you cultivate at night?

Hearing this, not only Du En, but the gazes of the others also became somewhat subtle.

Is that overly nervous performance of yours the trick you found?

At this moment, the brief rest period also came to an end.

During the afternoon's corpse-burying work, he became exceptionally cautious, clearly overly nervous; the slightest abnormality, or what he perceived as an abnormality, would trigger a stress response.

Clang—

Crack!

Having once again obtained free food in a smooth and fluid motion, Du En weighed it; he hadn't intended to ask anyone else, but seeing the strange look in Wei Ming's eyes, he spoke up: "Do you want some?"

Under Du En's call, the others returned to their posts.

On the way back, they had good luck again and encountered a very self-aware Strange Owl that hadn't eaten its fill in the morning, hadn't found anything else to eat all day, and thus finally delivered itself to their door, so they no longer had to worry about going hungry.

Therefore, it is necessary to first examine and reflect, and find the most obvious problems that have emerged!

On Du En's side, he quickly backfilled a thin layer of soil, then clapped his hands, deciding to take the opportunity to rest for a while as well.

Du En chewed on the boiled Strange Owl, which tasted truly terrible but wasn't exactly life-threatening, his heart as steady as an old dog, without a single ripple.

Mere boiled rotten meat!

Then, as expected, Wei Ming successfully walked into another extreme.

Just at this moment, a noisy, clamorous sound suddenly came in from outside the courtyard gate.
