Chapter 5:
"Huh~~"
In the quiet park in the early morning, Li Jiexuan stood between the tall trees and exhaled a long breath. A matte-colored kunai was faintly visible between Li Jiexuan's sleeves.
"go!"
With a slight shake of his wrist, a sharp kunai shot out from Li Jiexuan's sleeve.
With a "bang", the kunai drilled into the tree trunk like a poisonous snake, and half of the kunai was deeply inserted. This was a hard tree trunk, but it already had such destructive power. If this was soft flesh...
Li Jiexuan waved his hand gently, and the matte-colored kunai suddenly disappeared from the tree trunks and reappeared in Li Jiexuan's hand. Even if it was the lowest-level treasure, the magical power of the treasure would not be discounted in the slightest.
Time flies. It has been three years since Li Jiexuan came to this world...
Li Jiexuan smiled and put the space-time kunai into his sleeve, then turned and walked towards Metrovet's home: "Let's stop here for today's training, Metrovet should be back soon..."
Ten minutes later, Li Jiexuan returned to the simple house.
"Jie Xuan, are you back?"
Matvey squatted on the ground and carefully sorted the various herbs in the herb basket.
Li Jiexuan nodded, but he couldn't help thinking. After a few days of living together, Li Jiexuan found that Metrovet would go out of the village every morning and evening to pick herbs. Although Metrovet was a ninja, he was so poor because of these herbs.
Apart from picking herbs and practicing physical skills, he had no time to complete ninja missions.
Otherwise, even if he was just a Genin, with the high salary of a ninja, it would be impossible for him to live in such a difficult situation...
"Uncle Matvey, what are these herbs used for?"
Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes. If his estimation was correct, these herbs might be one of the important reasons why the Metrovet family was so successful in physical training.
"These are for bathing!" Matvey had no intention of hiding anything. He smiled and raised his arms to show off his muscles. "After every exercise, the body will be very tired. At this time, you must use special herbs to bathe!"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan nodded secretly: As expected, although the main reason why the Metrovet family's physical skills are strong is hard work. But if there is no such unique secret recipe, hard work alone is just a castle in the air.
The body can't stand it…
"Why? Xiaojiexuan wants to take a bath together?"
Matvey sorted the herbs and picked up Li Jiexuan with a smile: "Although it's a little early, if you want to practice physical skills, you and Xiao Dai can take a bath with me in the future!"
Hearing this, even Li Jiexuan couldn't help but feel a little moved. As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Even in the world of Naruto, this saying is also applicable. The resources consumed by practicing Taijutsu are obviously much more than those of practicing Ninjutsu.
This is one of the reasons why Metrovi is so poor...
Although he had no relationship with him, Matvey allowed him to enjoy the expensive medicinal bath for free, diluting the effect of his medicine.
"I want to learn Taijutsu!"
Li Jiexuan nodded, but soon shook his head: "But I can get the herbs myself!"
This is not because Li Jiexuan is trying to be brave, but the effect of taking a medicinal bath alone is naturally much better than taking a bath with three people. Perhaps this is also the reason why the Might family is stronger with each generation...
Hearing what Li Jiexuan said, Might Dai didn't say anything, but just scratched his head and looked a little confused: "Little Jiexuan, if you buy these herbs, they are not cheap..."
"How much does it cost?"
"One hundred thousand taels!"
Hearing this number, Li Jiexuan nodded slightly. This is indeed a considerable sum of money. A ninja might only get 100,000 taels for completing a B-level mission.
However, Li Jiexuan smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I can handle it myself..."
Before he finished speaking, a line of words suddenly popped up in Li Jiexuan's mind:
Survival Mission: Make money, Ninja!
Mission content: A penny can make a hero fall, a real man can live without a wife, but he cannot live without money for a day. Make 10 million taels as quickly as possible.
Mission Reward: Unknown (varies over time). Mission Time: Unlimited.
A new task appeared!
Li Jiexuan smiled and shrugged: "The system really thinks highly of me!"
Ten million taels is really not a small number...
