Target—Lighthouse Jellyfish!
Chapter 21: Target—Lighthouse Jellyfish! [Second Update]
After only cultivating for a few days, Ye Tian felt a bit distressed.
It wasn't that his progress was slow, but rather that the movements for a Martial Artist's cultivation were too large. Although there were only nine movements, every action of a Martial Artist could shake the air, and the rooms at home were too small; he might accidentally break things in the house.
"It's time to move. This place is at the edge of the base. Once a Vicious Beast breaks into the base, this area will definitely be attacked first. It's too dangerous to live here. I'm not afraid, but my younger sister hasn't started cultivating yet, so she naturally has no means of defense. In the future, I will definitely enter the wild frequently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her. I must move to the small villa area in the center of the base!" Ye Tian decided.
The small villa area in the center of the base was very safe. Unless the base was breached, it was unlikely to be affected. However, the houses there were also incredibly expensive; any small villa would cost 10 million yuan, which an ordinary family simply couldn't afford.
Ye Tian still had about 2 million yuan on him. Combined with his status as a Martial Artist, he could get a loan. The base's bank could lend to him, which would be enough to buy a small villa.
Lunchtime.
Ye Tian discussed with Ye Yu, "Xiao Yu, I'm planning to move to the small villa area in the center of the base. I took a look, and the Central Garden community is quite good!"
Ye Yu's eyes widened. She walked over and felt Ye Tian's forehead. "Brother, you don't have a fever, do you? A small villa in Central Garden costs at least 10 million yuan. That's not a place where we can live!"
"Where did you learn that from, you little girl!" Ye Tian lightly flicked Ye Yu's head and then said with a smile, "Your brother has money now!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian placed two gold cards on the table.
"There's 2 million here. Plus, since your brother is now a Martial Artist, I can get a loan!"
Ye Tian held his head high and said proudly.
"Ah, brother, you're a Martial Artist now???"
Ye Yu was so shocked that she covered her small mouth, her face full of disbelief.
She remembered that her brother had only been cultivating for half a year. To become a Martial Artist so quickly, his speed was simply too fast!
"Yeah, I just had a Breakthrough. But you can't tell anyone else. After all, your brother is such a Genius; what if others get jealous and it's bad for our family?" Ye Tian said quickly.
"Mhm, brother, I promise I won't say a word!" Ye Yu's little head nodded incessantly, her eyes filled with joy. She felt extremely proud to have such a Genius brother.
Over the next few days, Ye Tian went to handle the purchase procedures.
In this era, there weren't any troublesome procedures like obtaining property certificates; only a contract needed to be signed. The small villas were already renovated, but what was called "renovation" seemed very simple to Ye Tian, similar to an ancient courtyard style, not at all like the modern villas he had imagined.
Perhaps those large bases could build modern villas, but Lin Hai Base didn't have that capability, mainly because the cost was too high.
The only thing that comforted Ye Tian was that the small villa was quite large, with a 50-square-meter courtyard, five rooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The total area of the villa reached 400 square meters.
This was still considered a small villa in Lin Hai Base because the base didn't lack space. When the base was built, it was made very large, yet the entire base had only a few hundred thousand people. The situation of having few people and plenty of land led to this.
After the villa was bought, Ye Tian began to move.
There weren't many things in the house. In just half a day, he and his sister officially moved into the small villa in Central Garden.
However, this villa didn't truly belong to Ye Tian yet.
If Ye Tian were to perish or be unable to repay the loan, the small villa would be taken back.
Therefore, Ye Tian wanted to pay off this loan as soon as possible.
But a loan of 8 million yuan was not a small amount. Even for a Martial Artist, earning that much money would take a long time. An ordinary Martial Artist would probably take ten or even dozens of years to repay it.
But Ye Tian felt he wouldn't need that much time. With his speed of hunting Vicious Beasts, it definitely wouldn't take too long to repay these debts.
Over the next half month or so, Ye Tian entered the wild every day to hunt Vicious Beasts. He chose small-sized Vicious Beasts and immediately brought them back to the base after killing them.
He hunted one a day, with each worth an average of 200,000 yuan. In just over half a month, he earned as much as 3 million.
Such crazy hunting of Vicious Beasts was something other Martial Artists didn't dare to do. It wasn't that they lacked strength, but that it was too dangerous.
Who could guarantee they would return safely every time? Most Martial Artists wouldn't push themselves so hard; after all, if they encountered a powerful Vicious Beast, they wouldn't even have time to escape.
But Ye Tian's speed was very fast. Even at the Early Stage of the Martial Artist realm, his speed surpassed that of the Late Stage. Combined with the advantage of his Shadow Talent, this was why he dared to hunt Vicious Beasts so frantically.
After the frantic hunting, Ye Tian planned to take a break for a while. Instead of leaving the base, he would focus all his efforts on cultivating to increase his strength.
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
With plenty of Vicious Beast blood and the advantage of his Advanced Cultivation Talent, Ye Tian's strength increased significantly once more. He now possessed 2,000 jin of force, and his skin had been tempered to be extremely tough, enough to withstand ordinary refined iron weapons.
In the words of his past life, his physical body was enough to resist bullets!
Unfortunately, there were no bullets in this era!
That day, Ye Tian went to the black market again. He wasn't there to sell Vicious Beast Materials but to buy something.
Martial Pavilion.
"I want to buy a map of Death Lake!"
Ye Tian said.
Death Lake was a lake located ten kilometers outside of Lin Hai Base, and there were many Vicious Beasts around it.
The reason the lake was called by this name was that there were many terrifying aquatic Vicious Beasts within Death Lake. Even an Elite Martial Warrior would find it hard to survive if they went in, hence the name Death Lake.
The reason Ye Tian wanted to go to Death Lake was that he had set his sights on a type of aquatic Vicious Beast—the Lighthouse Jellyfish!
Before the Origin Qi Era, the Lighthouse Jellyfish was a microscopic marine organism. But with the arrival of the Origin Qi Era, the Lighthouse Jellyfish underwent a transformation. It no longer lived only in the ocean and was no longer restricted by its environment. Its survival ability greatly increased, and this creature appeared in a very small number of lakes. There were Lighthouse Jellyfish in Death Lake, and in quite large numbers.
One could say that the Lighthouse Jellyfish was an Earth creature, not a species of Vicious Beast from the spatial cracks. However, the strength of the Lighthouse Jellyfish was also extremely high. Their size had increased many times over, to about the size of a human palm, and this creature was very difficult to kill. Even a Martial Artist would find it hard to eliminate a Lighthouse Jellyfish, while the Lighthouse Jellyfish's tentacles could pierce through a Martial Artist's body.
It was said that even an Elite Martial Warrior would have to flee upon seeing a swarm of Lighthouse Jellyfish; otherwise, death was certain.
When he saw this type of Vicious Beast, Ye Tian took an interest in the Lighthouse Jellyfish's ability. He felt that the Lighthouse Jellyfish must possess some kind of healing or recovery talent. Once he copied it, his survival capability would definitely improve by several levels.
Although going to Death Lake was a bit risky, the harvest from the adventure would definitely be worth it!
