Chapter 19: City No.003

The Southeast Military Region is larger in scale than the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City.

"This Supply Base is also much larger than the Northern Military Region's Supply Base." Having taken the key, Xiao Yu walked inside the Supply Base and couldn't help sighing; in terms of residential numbers the whole Supply Base far exceeds the Northern Military Region, and at a glance one can see a great many warriors everywhere.

In terms of strength, the warriors here also far surpass those in the Northern Military Region.

As each imposing warrior passes by, the pressure they exert on Xiao Yu is far greater than that of his father Xiao Dingguo; they must be battle god‑level warriors.

"This place truly lives up to the description on the warrior forum; battle god elites can be seen everywhere."

Following the highway, Xiao Yu walked for about two days before finally entering the area of City No. 003.

"Yo~~"

"Ha ha~~"

Hundreds of flying beasts carpet the sky and swiftly fly by.

"The flying beasts here are far more numerous than those in the wilderness beside the Northern Military Region!" Xiao Yu quickly darted into a street‑side shop nearby.

In City No. 003, not only are there many flying monster beasts, but amphibious waterway monsters also appear frequently.

Continuing for two kilometers, he killed four serpentine monsters, over thirty ordinary Beast Soldier‑level monsters, and two Primary Beast General‑level monsters, earning 1800 Wish Points.

He arrived at a residential complex called "Wanke Fantasy City." This Wanke Fantasy City covers a vast area, originally able to house nearly a million people; now monsters are abundant, and because it lies on the outskirts of City 003, Lord‑level monsters are hard to encounter, making it an ideal hunting ground.

"Roar~~" "Awoo~~" "Die!"

The earth‑shaking roars thundered from dozens of li away, even accompanied by human battle cries.

This is a human strongman fighting a monster, at least battle god‑level.

Xiao Yu cautiously and swiftly slipped into a residential building that was a full twenty‑eight floors tall; he fought from the first floor up to the twenty‑second floor, encountering over twenty monsters along the way, mostly high‑grade Beast Soldier‑level monsters, with only one Primary Beast General‑level; he harvested materials from that Beast General, while the rest were devoured by the system, earning 1000 Wish Points.

On the twenty‑second floor, there was a roughly one‑hundred‑square‑meter suite, relatively intact with doors and windows, where Xiao Yu placed some of his supplies, intending to use it as a temporary camp.

Suddenly Xiao Yu froze; through the window he could see mist swirling ten li away, with building clusters appearing ghostly under the fog, deeper parts invisible except for dilapidated signposts. That area was indeed eerily shrouded in fog, and the whole City 003 was a gray haze. Monster roars and bird cries were everywhere, and the thunderous hordes of tens of thousands of monsters were countless!

"There should be a high‑grade Lord monster occupying that spot! It is said that this high‑Lord‑level monster commands two Primary Lord‑level ones, a large number of Beast General‑level monsters, and countless Beast Soldier‑level monsters, making it the overlord of this area," Xiao Yu recalled from the latest monster distribution map of City 003 he had seen on the warrior forum.

Although Xiao Yu is confident, he is not arrogant enough to provoke such a being; for now it is simply not feasible.

Xiao Yu then fought from the twenty‑second floor all the way to the top, slaying nearly a dozen Beast Soldier‑level monsters and gaining 500 Wish Points.

Seeing that dusk was approaching, Xiao Yu stopped hunting monsters, returned to his temporary base to have a casual meal, and then rested.

"System, check the wish fulfillment status."

【Host: Xiao Yu】

【First Wish: Physical quality upgraded to Apprentice Seventh Rank (31650 Wish Points)】

【Second Wish: Perfectly comprehend the Fourth Tier of Nine‑Fold Thunder Blade (18000 Wish Points)】

【Third Wish: Double genetic multiplier (100 Wish Copper Coins)】

【Remaining Wish Points: 7300】

Though he called it rest, he was actually sitting in meditation, first cultivating the Nine‑Fold Primordial Source Guidance Technique, then the Five‑Heart Skyward Genetic Primordial Energy Cultivation Method; having already mastered the perfect Third Tier of the Nine‑Fold Primordial Source Guidance Technique, his cultivation speed doubled, and his physical quality increased significantly each day.

After one night, at dawn.

"System, check personal physical attributes." Xiao Yu tentatively meditated toward the system.

【Host: Xiao Yu】

【Strength: 32350 KG】

【Speed: 185 m/s】

【Neural Response: Advanced Battle General Perfect】

【Force Output: 2.8×】

From the balcony Xiao Yu looked down and saw twelve monsters in view, three of which were Beast General‑level; these were relatively weak Beast General‑level monsters with few subordinates.

Quickly Xiao Yu descended to the first floor, hiding at the stairwell to observe outside.

About a hundred meters away, five unicorn‑tusked wild boar monsters stood; the lead boar was massive, its horn jet‑black, its fur a deep black rather than the usual gray, each hair like a steel needle, indicating its rank—Intermediate Beast General‑level.

Seeing few monsters, Xiao Yu promptly approached the Intermediate Beast General‑level unicorn‑tusked boar, wielding the Silver Moon Battle Knife, still moving at a normal speed of a hundred meters per second.

"Roar~~" The Beast General‑level unicorn‑tusked boar, seeing Xiao Yu rush toward it, let out an angry howl, its speed instantly spiking to a hundred meters per second, matching Xiao Yu's; its horn thrust fiercely at Xiao Yu! At this size, even a truck would be shattered by the impact.

The two intersected! In an instant Xiao Yu's speed surged, his footing a perfect millimeter‑precise dodge that left the unicorn‑tusked boar completely missing him, while his Silver Moon Battle Knife executed an upward diagonal slash! During the strike the knife accelerated three times, instantly breaking the sound barrier and producing a violent explosive crack!

The cold flash instantly sliced across the boar's neck; the Third Tier of the Nine‑Fold Thunder Blade achieved a feat.

Xiao Yu's Silver Moon Battle Knife, in what seemed a casual four‑stroke sequence, instantly slit the throats of four additional Beast Soldier‑level unicorn‑tusked boars.

In an instant of thought, the four Beast Soldier‑level boar corpses vanished completely, and the Intermediate Beast General‑level boar left only its horn and other valuable materials; the rest disappeared entirely.

At the same time the system prompted.

【Absorbed unicorn‑tusked boar corpse, gained 1300 Wish Points.】

Now a high‑level battle general, he slays these Primary Beast General minnows instantly; even without the Nine‑Fold Thunder Blade, a single strike would finish them.

The commotion of this battle gradually attracted surrounding monsters; in just half an hour Xiao Yu killed no fewer than thirty monsters, including three Primary Beast General‑level ones, all common monsters, and merely absorbing their corpses yielded 3000 Wish Points.

After collecting the important Beast General‑level monster materials left on the ground into his backpack, Xiao Yu entered a nearby building marked 0231# Residential Tower, starting from Unit 1 and fighting from the first floor up to the twenty‑eighth floor, then descending to continue.

This 0231# Residential Tower has five units; merely clearing one building, Xiao Yu slayed roughly a hundred monsters, including two Primary Beast General‑level ones, and the system absorbed them for 4900 Wish Points.

After finishing that tower, he moved on to the nearby 0232# and 0233# buildings; in a day he cleared monsters from five entire towers, gaining another ten thousand Wish Points.

At night, Xiao Yu returned to his temporary base to rest, delighted as his backpack was nearly half full of monster materials.

"System, check remaining Wish Points."

【Remaining Wish Points: 26500】

It is already enough to perfectly comprehend the Fourth Tier of the Nine‑Fold.

"System, fulfill the Second Wish."

【Second Wish: Perfectly comprehend Nine‑Fold Thunder Blade Fourth Tier (18000 Wish Points)】

【Second Wish is being fulfilled…】

Xiao Yu's brain instantly went blank, wave after wave of experience using the Fourth Layer of the Ninefold Thunder Blade surged in...

Strange energy after another rushed into his body, reshaping his physique to become even stronger.

Although this energy altered his physique, it did not change his genes; it merely strengthened his body enough to freely wield the Fourth Layer of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

Having just comprehended the sword method, Xiao Yu was again flooded with the usage experience of the Fourth Layer of the Ninefold Mixed Source Guiding Technique, and his whole being fell into sudden enlightenment once more.

In an instant, his cultivation speed doubled again.

【Second Wish has been fulfilled】

【Congratulations, host, you have perfectly comprehended the Fourth Layer of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.】

Xiao Yu stood up and swung his blade casually into the air.

"Woof~~" Four consecutive accelerations, a sonic boom rang out, and the blade's light traced a long arc in the sky.

Then Xiao Yu continued practicing the blade until he could halt the Ninefold Thunder Blade at will.

Thus his Ninefold Thunder Blade can both increase and decrease its speed, allowing him to stop the war blade at any position without the slightest error—a perfect mastery of the blade.

After finishing blade practice, Xiao Yu continued cultivating the Ninefold Mixed Source Guiding Technique and the Heartless Ascension Cultivation Method, in place of sleeping.

The next morning, he kept clearing the surrounding monsters, whether Beast Soldier Rank or Beast General Rank monsters; they were basically killed in a single slash. In just one day Xiao Yu slayed ten Beast General Rank monsters, and the Beast Soldier Rank monsters numbered in the hundreds.

Xiao Yu came here not to train, but to reap wealth. Even a money‑printing machine couldn't match Xiao Yu's speed of making money!

A primary Beast General Rank monster's important materials can usually sell for 5 million–15 million.

Intermediate Beast General Rank monster important materials can usually sell for 10 million–over 100 million.

High-level Beast General Rank monster important materials can usually sell for 50 million–around 600‑700 million.

Occasionally there are exceptions, such as extremely rare monsters, or some that are High-level Beast General Rank but are almost Lord Rank in themselves, so their price naturally rises.

…

After ten consecutive days of hard fighting, Xiao Yu had slain nearly two thousand Beast Soldier Rank monsters, eighty primary Beast General Rank monsters, three Intermediate Beast General Rank monsters, and one High-level Beast General Rank monster. The total value is estimated at about ten hundred million! The ten days of high‑intensity combat left Xiao Yu rather fatigued, so he rested well for a day. Afterwards he continued hunting monsters, but the number of Beast General Rank monsters in the surrounding area had noticeably decreased.

In these ten days he had accumulated Wish Points up to 116,600.

The unprecedented wealth is nothing compared to the one million Wish Points required to double his genetic multiplier.

Seeing his three large backpacks already packed full of Beast General Rank monster materials, Xiao Yu temporarily chose to return to the supply base to process the monster materials first.
