Chapter 64: Chapter 61: Admiration Reputation!

The sound of footsteps echoed as groups of natives dressed in blue, wielding knives and carrying guns, surged into the field.

The Iron Crocodile saw the emaciated old man leading them and couldn’t help but exclaim joyfully, “Master Lu!”

The person who came was indeed the leader of the Four Rivers Gang, Lu Chuan!

Lu Chuan squinted his eyes, scanning the surroundings, and said in a deep voice, “Bo Yue sent a message through the soldiers, saying he was hunting the Giant Tuo, and that the second-in-command of the Red Lotus Society, Zhang Gu, was also here! Where is Zhang Gu?”

Cuttlefish reacted quickly and immediately said, “The Giant Tuo has been eliminated, and Zhang Gu was also killed by Brother Lu Pu! Master Lu, these three were hired by the Red Lotus Society as external support; their strength is quite formidable, and they absolutely must not be let go!”

“Bo Yue could really kill the Giant Tuo alone?”

Lu Chuan let out a soft sigh, clearly quite curious. His eyes then swept over the Blood Crow trio.

The Blood Crow trio immediately felt a chill down their spines and, without hesitation, turned and ran!

Lu Chuan snorted lightly, ignoring them, and turned to Cuttlefish, saying, “Lead the way to where Bo Yue is.”

Cuttlefish looked somewhat unwillingly at the fleeing Blood Crow trio. She also understood that her weight in Lu Chuan’s mind was too small, and her influence too weak.

After all, it was because her reputation in the Four Rivers Gang was too low, if Bai Pu were the one framing them, the effect would be quite different.

But given the strength of the Blood Crow trio, even if the members of the Four Rivers Gang surrounded them, they should be able to escape, albeit in a sorry state, which wouldn’t be fundamentally different from the current situation.

…

In the concave valley, Lu Chuan and the others saw the scattered bodies of the Jiang Tuo, each of them dumbfounded.

Even Lu Chuan himself was astonished when he saw that huge, fat Mother of Jiang Tuo, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

“Bo Yue, you have really done a great service for Chaisang City!” Lu Chuan praised with admiration.

Bai Pu, having slightly recovered some strength by now, smiled faintly and said, “These Jiang Tuo corpses are quite valuable. Please, Master Lu, have the gang members transport them back, cut and process them, as a small contribution I make to the Lu Clan.”

Lu Chuan was delighted, “We certainly won’t let Bo Yue suffer!”

Spirit Realm Will prompt message:

[You have slain the Mother of Jiang Tuo that was wreaking havoc in Chaisang and most of its offspring.]

[Your reputation in Sun Quan’s Army faction has increased by 300 points. Currently: Friendly (348/1000).]

[Your reputation in Wu County Lu Clan has increased by 1500 points. Currently: Admiration (3133/10000).]

As it turns out, the reason the Four Rivers Gang includes the word “river” is because it is a gang that manages river transportation. However, due to the rampant Jiang Tuo, the water transport business was hard to do, so Lu Chuan had to predominantly run taverns and other shops.

Now that the Jiang Tuo group has been eliminated, and crucially without greatly weakening the Four Rivers Gang, they can resume their old business, which is undoubtedly a great thing!

Moreover, these Jiang Tuo corpses are also precious raw materials. Especially the Mother of Jiang Tuo, whose scales can be made into armor, its flesh can be used for meals, and its tendons, bones, and skin are all treasures.

Bai Pu pointed at Cuttlefish and Iron Crocodile and said, “These two also contributed a lot.”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile, “Yes, they are all heroic figures!”

Iron Crocodile and Cuttlefish exchanged glances, both showing signs of pleasant surprise.

It turns out that just after Bai Pu casually said a word about distributing credit, their reputation within the Four Rivers Gang suddenly surged by several hundred points, directly reaching the Respect Level!

Originally, the two had stopped the Blood Crow trio tonight, gaining no benefits and a heap of trouble, harboring some resentment towards Bai Pu.

Now that they received benefits, their hearts instantly felt at ease, and they even felt a slight gratitude towards Bai Pu.

Because reaching the Respect Level in reputation not only allows for point conversion but also enhances the additional effects of the [Four Rivers Gang Waist Token], with many benefits!

Bai Pu’s [Wu County Lu Clan’s Identity Jade Token] has also changed; the effect of admiration-level reputation is: Life Value +100, Spirit +4!

Currently, Bai Pu’s Spirit has reached an impressive 15 points, officially acquiring the Mental Scan ability, without needing to fuse with the Bone Mage’s Genetic Fragment.

Bai Pu took stock of the harvest, with a total of seventeen treasure chests dropped by the crocodile group.

One golden treasure chest, dropped by the Mother of Jiang Tuo; four blue treasure chests, all dropped by large, three-meter-long adult Jiang Tuo offspring, and finally, twelve white treasure chests.

The treasure chests can be considered a great haul, though it’s not convenient to open them now.

Bai Pu opened the personal panel, during the life-and-death battle just now, facing the crocodile group alone, the speed of improving his combat specialization was incredible. Now it has already advanced to Level 2 Shield Mastery and Level 1 One-Handed Swordsmanship.

Even the recently surpassed fighting skill has reached 85% of Advanced Level 2, soon to be promoted to Level 3—this was all due to his keen observation and mental calculation, dodging and blocking the crocodile’s attacks countless times, leading to such enhancement.

Unfortunately, this situation cannot be replicated. If Bai Pu were to go through it again, he would not be confident in anticipating the enemy in every aspect with the crocodiles lurking around.

…

Back at the Four Rivers Gang base, Bai Pu attended a celebratory banquet, where he feasted on crocodile meat.

Lu Chuan personally carved a piece of meat for Bai Pu from the Mother of Jiang Tuo, which was the most nutritious and delicious part.

This piece of meat, like jelly, quivered on the plate.

Bai Pu took a bite, only to find the meat sweet and tender, leaving an endless aftertaste, with each mouthful bringing an explosion of joy to his taste buds.

Unknowingly, he finished eating the whole piece of meat, one bite after another.

The Iron Crocodile sighed, “The treasure flesh of a leader-level giant crocodile! Oh my, spare me a bite…”

Bai Pu was slightly dazed, staring at the empty plate.

Spirit Realm Will prompt message:

[You have consumed the treasure flesh of the Mother of Jiang Tuo for the first time.]

[The spiritual particles in your body are abundant, and you are in a very good mood. Your combat specialization and combat skills cultivation efficiency are temporarily increased by 500% (this bonus effect will decay over time, disappearing completely after 24 hours).]

It turned out that this piece of meat was the only treasure flesh, the only one within the Mother of Jiang Tuo!

Bai Pu immediately received the information that two new droplets of pure blood had been generated in his heart!

According to Earth’s standard dietary intake calculations, it would take Bai Pu 14 days to replenish two droplets of pure blood. But now, with a single piece of treasure flesh, he has replenished 14 days’ worth of nutrition.

Talent Skill 2 [Pure Blood Protection] is available again!

Currently, the three major talents of the Heart of Evolution are extremely practical. This is just the talent ability gained from the fusion of only two tubes of Evolutionary Source Blood!

Bai Pu couldn’t help but imagine what would happen in the future if he fused more Evolutionary Source Blood and even snatched the living tissue of the Primordial Heart from the Superstar Alliance for transplantation, how much the Heart of Evolution could grow?

Maybe by then, there will be a way to obtain an “Eternal Servant.”

Bai Pu had never forgotten that in the Plane World of Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin, there was still a noble and intellectual strong female—Qin, who yearned to become his servant.

“Bo Yue, this time you have slain the Jiang Tuo Group, leaving our Four Rivers Gang with a large number of Jiang Tuo carcasses, including many precious materials! I calculated roughly, and it’s worth over 900 coins. Let’s just round it to one thousand coins, shall we?”

Lu Chuan’s voice interrupted Bai Pu’s thoughts.

Bai Pu nodded in agreement, and Lu Chuan clapped his hands, and two gang members carried a box to Bai Pu.

[Copper Coins: The universal currency in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane, cannot be taken out of this plane.]

Bai Pu asked, “Copper coins are too cumbersome, can they be exchanged for gold and silver?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Of course!”

According to the gold and silver exchange rate of the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane, one thousand coins is approximately equal to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold.

Lu Chuan ordered the money box to be carried away, exchanged it for one hundred taels of gold and some broken silver, and handed it to Bai Pu.

These gold and broken silver are circulating currencies in the Three Kingdoms Plane World, still cannot be taken out of this plane.

Bai Pu sighed inwardly, accepting it. Since this gold and silver cannot be taken out, they should be spent as much as possible.

Of course, Bai Pu’s focus was not on making money. He had just eaten the treasure flesh of the Mother of Jiang Tuo, now having a 500% proficiency bonus!

The 500% bonus means enhanced understanding of skills, inspiration overflowing!

Such a terrifying bonus appeared because Bai Pu enjoyed treasure flesh for the first time; pitifully, he had never tasted real Spiritual Essence cuisine before.

Once used to enjoying treasure flesh, it will cease to be so stunning, and the bonus effect will return to normal.

At this time, Bai Pu’s injuries had not yet healed completely, but he didn’t want to go into deep sleep to recover. Instead, he immediately used the second bottle of Life Recovery Potion!

(The first bottle was used for Zhang Gu, who was in a near-death state)

The Life Recovery Potion purchased with spiritual points was indeed good stuff. Bai Pu only felt warmth in his chest and abdomen, with his broken ribs healing rapidly.

It’s a pity that this thing needs rest to take effect continuously. Once vigorous activity occurs, such as combat, the effect breaks off.

After initially recovering, Bai Pu immediately requested a piece of land from the Four Rivers Gang for closed-door training!
