Chapter 1444 - 1339: Jin Kui’s Current Situation
The house of Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui was at the end of the street.
Most of the huts here were single-roomed, some as small as seven to eight square meters, but still had to fit two beds, making the space clearly insufficient.
Qin Hao lifted the curtain and saw Jin Kui lying on the bed in the corner.
He lacked the usual heroic spirit.
On the contrary, his face was pale, and there was a faint trace of blood on the chest of his clothes.
Seeing Qin Hao and Jin Ni’Er enter, a glow of excitement lit up on his sickly face. His chapped lips slightly moved: "Boss, you’re here!"
Not long ago, this rebellious boy deeply despised Qin Hao.
But now, seeing Qin Hao appear, his future suddenly felt hopeful.
"Hmm."
Qin Hao walked over and placed the bag he was holding on the ground. "How are your injuries?"
"It’s nothing... just a small wound..." Jin Kui lowered his head unnaturally: "I’ve really embarrassed you, couldn’t even beat a lackey here..."
"If you can’t beat them, train harder so you can beat them in the future. Besides, you didn’t embarrass me at all; at least you protected your sister, right?"
Hearing Qin Hao’s comfort, Jin Kui raised his head, his face filled with gratitude: "Thank you for the reassurance, Boss."
"It’s not just reassurance." Qin Hao’s expression was very serious: "It’s normal for you to not be able to beat them. This world is filled with Spiritual Qi, a hundred times more concentrated than on Earth. Training in such an environment yields twice the result with half the effort. Naturally, this also includes Inner Strength."
This was no exaggeration.
Just taking a walk around the street, Qin Hao discovered that the Outer Disciples in the Inner Sect had very substantial Inner Strength levels.
The weakest among them would be considered at the Grandmaster Level outside.
And experts at the Divine Realm Level were countless.
These are just ordinary people, and the so-called "Seventy-two Earth Spirits," their real strength is probably equivalent to the Earth Tier, or even Celestial Grandmaster outside.
Experts like Elder Jin on the Cross and Vertical List are only at the pinnacle of the Earth Tier. Moreover, they are at the forefront of the Cross and Vertical List.
Such experts are extremely rare outside, considered major figures.
Yet within this tiny Outer Courtyard, there are as many as seventy-two of them!
This shows how the combat power and strength of the two worlds are entirely incomparable in class.
No wonder a prodigy like Jin Kui would get beaten by Takeda.
"Sigh."
Jin Kui sighed: "I’ve noticed these phenomena too. I realized that many here have an aura not weaker than Grandpa. Grandpa has been my idol since I was a child, but here, there are so many people like him... I truly lack confidence..."
Jin Ni’Er heard this and was also melancholy.
Outside, she and her brother were prodigies on the Cyan Cloud List, incredibly glamorous and confident.
But here, they’re nothing.
Not to mention, the prodigies in the Inner Sect are even more exceptional.
The more they thought about it, the more the Jin Family Siblings became pessimistic.
"Indeed, under normal circumstances, it’s quite difficult for you to catch up with people who have lived in a world filled with Spiritual Qi since childhood."
This time, Qin Hao spoke up, his broad shoulders catching their attention, and the faces of the Jin Family Siblings grew even darker.
The next moment.
Qin Hao’s tone shifted, his face exuding immense confidence: "But you have me, your genius elder brother. Following me, are you worried you can’t rise?"
As soon as the words fell, the Jin Family Sisters, looking at Qin Hao’s confident face, inexplicably felt their blood surge and their hearts steadied,
They looked at each other and exclaimed simultaneously, "We believe in Big Brother!"
"Very good." Qin Hao put his arm around Jin Ni’Er’s shoulder and grabbed Jin Kui’s hand, smiling slightly: "From now on, as long as I have meat to eat, I promise you will too. Let’s make a mark in this godforsaken world together!"
If anyone else dared to embrace Jin Ni’Er like that, Jin Kui would promptly beat them up.
But when Qin Hao did it, he found it delightful, "Thank you! Brother Qin!"
"No need to thank me."
After some encouragement, Qin Hao let go of Jin Ni’Er and took out some medicinal patches from the bag, "These are the patches Ni’Er just got for you from the Medicine Hall. They cost 100 Task Points."
"Ah... so much..."
Jin Kui’s face turned pale.
Task Points are the core of the Sect’s currency system for exchanges.
To buy anything, Task Points are basically a must.
And the means to earn Task Points are through purchase or completing tasks.
Under normal circumstances, ten taels of gold can only buy one Task Point.
This means that these 100 Task Points, when placed in the secular world, are equivalent to a thousand taels of gold, an amount that ordinary people couldn’t earn in a lifetime.
Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er, being newly inducted disciples, each had an entry reward of fifty Task Points.
Without this reward, Jin Kui would have a hard time affording treatment.
Qin Hao also received a reward of fifty Task Points upon induction.
Only after understanding the prices in the Huashan Sect did he realize these fifty Task Points were but a drop in the bucket.
"Boss, these patches are too expensive, maybe you should return them!"
The shocking thing was, even someone as prodigal as Jin Kui learned to economize.
"There’s no reason to return them, Jin Kui, you just use them without worry; rest assured, I’ll find a way to earn money in the next few days, and if possible, even get a bigger house. After all, you are grown up now, and living together like this is quite inconvenient..."
At this, both Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui blushed.
Indeed, although they are siblings, sleeping in such a cramped space always felt a bit odd.
Who knows, Qin Hao added: "After we get a bigger house, I’ll sleep with Ni’Er to keep her protected, who else but me?"
"Brother Qin! You’re joking again!"
After a moment of shock, Jin Ni’Er realized, blushing as she spoke.
Jin Kui laughed silly, suddenly feeling that Qin Hao, though a bit naughty and pervy,
wasn’t this a fault inherent in all men?
This world is so dangerous, if Jin Ni’Er could find stability with Brother Qin, it might not be a bad thing.
"Alright, let’s apply the patches!"
After giving some instructions, Qin Hao applied the medicinal patches to Jin Kui.
These patches, despite being expensive, were worth every bit.
The wounds on Jin Kui were severe, with flesh rolling and blood flowing.
But once the patch was applied, the bleeding stopped, and with the effectiveness of the medicine, the festering wounds began to heal.
"Incredible!"
Jin Kui tried stretching his hand, the pain from the chest wound was greatly alleviated, and it no longer affected his movement.
"These patches, modified with Spiritual Qi, are indeed extraordinarily potent!"
Qin Hao picked up a piece of unopened patch, studied it, then placed it on the ground, "It seems quite simple, perhaps I can make it myself?"
Bang!
Just then, the door behind them was violently kicked open.
The door panel quickly fell to the ground, and an enraged voice came from outside: "Qin Hao, get out here!"
