Era of Magic and Martial Arts-Chapter 357 - 341: Speaking Up?
[You have once again absorbed Life Essence.]
[You have absorbed a portion of rich Essence of Life.]
[Essence Quality: Rich but impure.]
[The rich essence, full of vitality but not pure, has converted 100 days of Life Energy for you.]
[You have activated absorption once more.]
[You have absorbed a refined Energy Crystal.]
[Crystal Quality: Hard outside, soft inside.]
[Beneath the sturdy shell is a flowing energy core, converting 50 days of Life Energy for you.]
[You have once more commenced the Feast.]
[You accepted a cup of sweet liquid.]
[Energy Liquid Quality: Sweet.]
[This liquid is exceptionally sweet, suiting the taste of a certain existence, converting 70 days of Life Energy for you.]
[You have once again performed the Absorption Technique.]
[You have absorbed a mixed Energy Aggregate.]
[Aggregate Quality: Unique aroma.]
[The unique aroma, mixed with various substances, enhances its value but affects its purity, converting 75 days of Life Energy for you.]
[....]
As the absorption continued, the subtitles flashing across Feng Mu’s eyes seemed to gradually come alive from their initial simplicity, similar to a newly born consciousness, developing more delicate perceptions after experiencing various forms of energy.
Feng Mu slightly squinted his eyes, pondering:
"Is it my illusion, or do the prompt subtitles seem to carry emotions now?"
Feng Mu’s pupils suddenly contracted as he focused on a specific comment—[This liquid is exceptionally sweet, suiting the taste of a certain existence, converting 70 days of Life Energy for you.]
Feng Mu’s heart skipped a beat, catching the unintentional slip of the phrase—"a certain existence"?!
Feng Mu activated Detective mode, his mind racing:
"The ’you’ in ’converting 70 days of Life Energy for you’ refers to me, so who exactly is ’a certain existence’ that this liquid suits?"
"Is it the system itself, or....."
Feng Mu’s thoughts spun rapidly, yet his actions remained calm and unhurried; with one stroke, the energy of an entire shell was fully extracted, leaving only a lifeless form behind.
As the last bit of energy was absorbed, his total extracted Life Energy accumulated to—1785 days.
Feng Mu murmured to himself: "What a sumptuous feast, wouldn’t you agree, [Feast]?"
Wang Cong was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.
Feng Mu grinned warmly and sincerely at him:
"Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to say that the energy you prepared for me tonight was like a precious feast; I’m very satisfied, you’ve been thoughtful."
Wang Cong, having received praise, smiled so widely it nearly closed his eyes, as the white sand under his feet swirled and danced at will, swallowing up all traces left by Feng Mu’s absorption, cleaning everything thoroughly.
Feng Mu absorbed life, Wang Cong swept up the remnants; Wang Cong felt that Feng Mu was truly his best partner.
Moreover, perhaps it was just an illusion, but Wang Cong felt that the remnants processed by Feng Mu exuded an indescribable allure that was highly attractive to him.
This allure was much more effective than absorbing directly by himself. Of course, he wouldn’t admit to coveting the possible remnants of Feng Mu’s.....flavor.
What an odd idea that would be, Wang Cong was certainly not that kind of person!
He truly felt that those remnants, after Feng Mu’s transformation, gained some special effect, making his sand grains not only as hard as metal but also imparting a unique flavor.
The sand, too, could possess an energy field? That was simply wonderful!!!
Wang Cong thought that in his parents’ composition, aside from the basic materials, occasionally incorporating some special fragrance might be a good choice as well.
After all, given the special form of their existence, enhancing overall strength is always beneficial.
Of course, if he could consistently absorb the remnants transformed by Feng Mu, that would be ideal.
With his eyes shining, Wang Cong earnestly said to Feng Mu:
"If you’re satisfied, I’ll make sure to prepare more for you in the future."
Feng Mu was very pleased with Wang Cong’s response; all his efforts to help transform him posthumously hadn’t been in vain.
Feng Mu nodded, extending his hand, letting the cool white fingertips suddenly take on a layer of dark radiance, which lightly touched Wang Cong’s chest, a pure surge of energy penetrating straight through to touch his beating core.
[Current transmission target’s life level is advanced (Awakened Ancient Calamity Corpse), expected to lose 40% of Life Energy during transmission, continue transmission?]
[Yes/No?]
Feng Mu was no miser, despite the substantial 40% loss.
[Transmitting...]
[Transmission complete!]
The entire process took less than a second; real energy infusion must have such speed.
[Awakened Ancient Calamity Corpse - Wang Cong, Beneficiary’s existence duration extended to 365 days.]
[The transmission process consumed a total of 608 days of Life Energy; your stored Life Energy has decreased to 1177 days.]
You give me a feast, and I grant your family a year’s worth of time. Where else could you find a more conscientious boss than Feng Mu?
Feng Mu withdrew his fingers, and Wang Cong, feeling grateful as if a revelation came over him, sensed his existence was greatly extended, looking at Feng Mu with immense gratitude, a similar expression mirrored in his parental illusions behind him.
"I can accompany my parents for another year; I can serve Feng Mu for another year. This feeling is unparalleled, gratitude!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Feeling elated, Wang Cong’s loyalty to Feng Mu had already peaked, there was no more room to increase, so Wang Cong resolved to improve himself as much as possible in the future, to repay Feng Mu’s immense favor towards him and his entire family.
In a certain sense, it is rare to find another employee as extraordinary as Wang Cong, especially in a form like this.
Feng Mu sensed the intense gaze from Wang Cong, and he smiled warmly: "Go rest now."
Wang Cong nodded heavily, turning to leave, yet he didn’t really need rest at this state; he was filled with motivation to work.
Standing alone in the incineration room, Feng Mu then took out his phone, turning the camera on himself; in his eyes, two blood-colored Hook Jades were spinning fast.
Five status bars appeared in succession:
[1147/1147]
[10/10]
[20/20]
[50/50]
[98/98]
Without a second thought, Feng Mu recited the true names of the five status bars:
"The first bar is myself, followed by [Frenzy Blood], [Iron Eater], [Blood Bar Deceit Eye], [Feast]!!!"
A grand feast had boosted the [Feast] status bar to surge, leaping into second place.
Gazing at himself in the phone screen, Feng Mu mused to himself:
"Was it you communicating with Father through the prompt messages earlier? That ’certain existence,’ was it you, [Feast]? You fancy sweet drinks, don’t you?"
"Why keep it hidden? Once you’ve learned to speak, you should tell Father right away..."
