Chapter 64

What? The day after tomorrow?!

Hearing Su Hao's words, Ling Xue'er's eyes widened instantly, her slightly baby‑fat face filled with disbelief.

No, boss, you're joking, right? With injuries this severe, still being alive—I consider it a miracle!

You're actually telling me that the day after tomorrow you want to go solo against a second‑rank supernatural monster? That's too exaggerated.

No matter how you say it, that's a second‑rank supernatural monster; to a first‑rank supernatural like me, it's basically an unbeatable boss—I wouldn't even dare glance at it.

But boss, you're preparing to seek trouble from that second‑rank undead creature while heavily injured—what kind of confidence does it take to say something like that!

No, are you really human, boss? The more I look, the less you seem like one...

"Cough cough! Are you unavailable the day after tomorrow?"

Su Hao saw Ling Xue'er frozen in place, occasionally glancing at him as if he were a monster, which left him feeling rather helpless.

"Ah, no, no!"

Hearing that, Ling Xue'er snapped back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no, we're free the day after tomorrow, it's just…"

Saying this, Ling Xue'er's tone paused slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Su Hao's gruesome wound, looking as if she wanted to speak but held back.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I said it—this little fatal injury doesn't matter!"

Su Hao naturally understood what Ling Xue'er was thinking, and laughed loudly without concern.

Looking at Ling Xue'er's dazed expression, Su Hao suddenly felt a mischievous urge; he controlled the flesh of his hands, loosening their support on the bones.

The next moment.

Su Hao's two arms, like boneless tentacles, twisted into several segments in the air as he swayed his forearms.

"Look, these two arms of mine can still be used as whips at critical moments—what could possibly happen?"

Ling Xue'er: ……

All I can say is, boss, your mindset is truly damn good!

"Then what time should we set out the day after tomorrow?"

"Just the morning of the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now and come pick you up the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Want to stay for dinner?"

"Roar! (Having lunch, I can tell—this human female is an idiot, so I wanted to give her purple gold bamboo to boost her brains? But she's so stupid, wouldn't that be wasting the purple gold bamboo?)"

Upon hearing about food, the giant panda suddenly clutched the purple gold bamboo in its arms, looking at it with a heart‑broken expression.

Ling Xue'er: ……

No, I damn well understand—you're saying this in front of the person involved; isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Besides, where exactly do I look stupid?

I'm just a bit slow, a bit forgetful, prone to spacing out, prone to wandering off…

The more she thought, the less confident Ling Xue'er became; these traits of hers seemed to indicate she really wasn't very bright.

"Next time, next time."

After a long silence, Ling Xue'er refused Su Hao's invitation and left the shelter with her head down, dejected.

Su Hao:???

What's going on? Why did her mood change so drastically?

Could it be…

Is she wanting to eat the purple gold bamboo? But the giant panda won't give it?

But purple gold bamboo isn't tasty at all…

Su Hao looked at the giant panda tightly hugging the purple gold bamboo, then at the dejected Ling Xue'er, and felt as if three big question marks had popped up above his head.

Sigh! Looks like I need to get a translation module working fast—this language barrier is still somewhat troublesome.

Afterward, Su Hao stopped thinking about it, sent Ling Xue'er downstairs, then turned back to his own room.

He took the already‑broken bed, moved it out and threw it away, then placed Grandpa Andrew's bed in his own bedroom.

Afterwards, Su Hao and Da Xiong Mao busied themselves, replacing the toilets, bathtubs, and such in the two bathrooms with Andelu Daye's Floral Brand sanitary ware.

The sofas, coffee tables, and such in the living room were all replaced with Zhu Mu brand furniture; since there is still no study in the shelter, the bookcases and desks were also placed in the living room.

At the same time, all the lighting fixtures in the shelter were replaced with those from Andelu Daye's home.

The wooden flooring, wallpaper, and tiles, due to the large workload, Su Hao temporarily piled them in the corner, not rushing to replace them.

After finishing dinner, Su Hao returned to his bedroom.

He hasn't used any of today's four synthesis chances yet; it's already past ten o'clock at night, so he needs to hurry.

As for what to synthesize, Su Hao already had an idea.

The day after tomorrow he will go fight a wraith; since the wraith is an incorporeal undead creature, pure physical attacks cannot harm it.

This means that Su Hao's currently strongest weapon, the Gravity Rock Axe, will be useless in this battle.

So, to defeat this second-rank wraith, the priority is to synthesize a weapon or skill capable of hitting a spiritual body.

However, Su Hao currently lacks the appropriate weapon blanks, as well as materials suitable for synthesizing the Gravity Rock Axe.

So, Su Hao plans to first synthesize the Blood Whip Technique according to his plan from the past few days.

The synthesis target is the three Blood Octopus tentacles he obtained from Ling Xue'er today.

These three tentacles themselves have the function of automatically producing polluted blood, and they are also first-rank extraordinary material.

After synthesizing the three together, they are likely to become a second-rank extraordinary item capable of producing clean blood.

Then, by synthesizing the resulting tentacles with the Blood Whip Technique, there is a high chance of producing a second-rank extraordinary skill.

Furthermore, this second-rank skill is also likely to inherit the Blood Octopus tentacles' blood-producing function, able to continuously provide Su Hao with fresh, clean blood.

If one can produce blood, that also means it can be ignited by the Blood Flame Technique.

By then, let this second-rank skill work together with the Blood Flame Technique, and after eating the fire dragon fruit that boosts fire element power, wanting to inflict damage on spirit bodies will no longer be difficult.

However, these are all Su Hao's speculations; whether they are true or not won't be known until they are synthesized.

"Let's get started!"

After making up his mind, Su Hao hesitated not at all, immediately took out three blood octopus tentacles, and began today's first synthesis.

As Su Hao's thoughts turned, a golden light wrapped the three blood octopus tentacles inside.

The proficiency of the Synthesis Heart has now reached mastery, synthesis speed is also faster; in a short while, the golden light wrapped around the three tentacles disappeared.

The three original octopus tentacles have now become a single thick tentacle composed entirely of fresh red blood.

The blood on it flows in a regular pattern, a rich blood aura instantly fills the whole room; just looking at it, one can feel its extraordinariness.

【Blood Tentacle】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: A tentacle formed from special blood; as long as there is sufficient energy, the Blood Tentacle can quickly replenish lost blood.

The blood inside the Blood Tentacle is an excellent medium for blood magic, containing supernatural power; applying this blood to a weapon temporarily grants it the ability to harm spirit bodies.

……

"Oh ho~ The result of this synthesis is better than I imagined!"

Su Hao raised his eyebrows, his face showing surprise and joy.

Originally he just thought that, after synthesizing the blood octopus's tentacles, as long as he could make the blood produced by the tentacles change from polluted blood to clean blood, he would be quite satisfied.

But unexpectedly, after the blood octopus's tentacles were synthesized into a Blood Tentacle, the blood inside was no longer polluted blood, and moreover contained supernatural power.

As long as this blood is applied, even a purely physical Gravity Rock Axe can inflict damage on spirit bodies.

Just this one synthesis gave Su Hao a bit more confidence in his future battles.

However, Su Hao did not stop there; if all goes well, synthesizing the Blood Tentacle with the Blood Whip Technique will surely produce a new skill that retains the Blood Tentacle's abilities.

If the synthesis result is good enough, perhaps the Blood Tentacle's effect could be further enhanced.

Thinking of this, Su Hao's heartbeat quickened a bit, and he used the Synthesis Heart once more.
