"Hey, Wu Yu, what are you doing?" Jack had walked up to Wu Yu without him noticing. He frowned when he saw Wu Yu's distraught appearance.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury to my right hand." When Wu Yu saw Jack coming over, he had to compose himself and try to stand up, but this aggravated his left hand, causing him to wince in pain.
After initially losing consciousness, sensation in her right hand gradually returned, but this was followed by excruciating, tearing pain.
Jack saw everything Wu Yu did. Without saying anything, Jack simply extended his index finger, and a wisp of silver battle aura emerged from it. He then grabbed Wu Yu's right hand, lifted it up, and easily cut off the right sleeve with his fingertip, revealing a right arm swollen like a pig's trotter.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Wu Yu couldn't help but groan again.
However, Jack showed no mercy. He took out a bandage from his spatial ring and skillfully wrapped it around Wu Yu's entire arm, then around Wu Yu's neck, tying a knot. The simple treatment was now complete.
But that alone wouldn't really help Wu Yu's injuries much, so Jack quickly took out a bottle of scarlet potion, opened the bottle, and a rich life force rushed out.
If you were to ask Wu Yu what the life force he sensed was, you could ask someone who has lived in a heavily polluted city for a long time to go to a primeval forest and smell it; that would probably give them an idea of what life force is.
Immediately afterwards, Jack slowly poured the medicine onto Wu Yu's entire arm. The bandage was surprisingly absorbent, with almost no liquid spilling onto the sand.
A cool sensation came from my arm, and the excruciating pain that had been unbearable was relieved a lot. I have to say, this mysterious power from another world is really useful. At least back in my hometown, it would be lucky if I had to take a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Unlike now, a bottle of medicine can fix it.
Jack stared at Wu Yu again, and after confirming that he was alright, he took a few steps back, sheathed his sword, and then ran to the now-cold magical beast, fiddling with something.
"Thank you." Although Wu Yu had a thousand words to say, in the end only these two words came to his lips. There was no way around it. He had only known Jack for two days. He couldn't be familiar with him. He didn't even believe himself that he would repay a small favor tenfold. After all, he was in a very bad situation. Maybe he would die in some corner of the world if he struggled for a few more days.
However, Jack didn't seem to care much about it, and simply replied, "You're welcome. A basic life potion for one gold coin. I've already put it on my tab."
Wu Yu's lips twitched. "Dude, do you have to be so realistic? If you said something sentimental, you might have even managed to shed a tear for me. But I can't help it, there are some things I still have to ask. "Then... then why are you so good to me?"
Jack paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and said without turning his head, "You call this doing it for your own good? If that's what you think, then my answer is that I like doing it. I'll do anything that doesn't harm my own interests."
Wu Yu fell silent. This answer was somewhat incomprehensible to him. People do everything with a purpose. If someone is truly a kind and benevolent person, why would they impose such a heavy restriction? But since Jack didn't say anything, Wu Yu didn't dare to ask.
Jack's work was now finished. When he turned around, he had a yellowish-brown crystal the size of a baby's fist in his hand. Wu Yu estimated that such a flawless and impurity-free gem would have been priceless in his previous world.
But Jack's expression remained unchanged after receiving such a great treasure, just as it had been when he had just expressionlessly killed such a large magical beast. It was as if it were all just a trivial matter. After playing with the crystal for a while, he threw it into his spatial ring.
"What is that?" Wu Yu's curiosity was not yet satisfied.
Seemingly used to Wu Yu's lack of common sense, Jack casually explained, "We generally call animals with magic power in their bodies magical beasts. The thing I just took out is an organ in their body called a magic core, which can be regarded as a magic power storage device for magical beasts."
We usually use it for alchemy or to concoct potions. The magical beast I just killed, called the Desert Scorpion, was only a fourth-tier monster. Its magic core is generally worth about ten gold coins. Speaking of which, its body should be worth more, but unfortunately we can't take it with us, so we can only leave it here.
Jack's face showed a rare hint of regret, but Wu Yu was delighted to see it. He thought Jack was emotionless. Wu Yu then asked, "You were only one level higher than it, yet you instantly killed it. Surely the difference between levels isn't insurmountable?"
"No, that's not the case. Although there are differences between each level, they are not completely defenseless. The main thing is that I, at level five, am already considered a high-level professional, while the level four Desert Scorpion is only equivalent to a mid-level professional."
This is already a difference in realm, like heaven and earth. Unless one is an unparalleled genius, it's impossible to fight across realms. Of course, the reason it was so easy is also largely due to my own genius.
"That's right, I felt you were really amazing the moment I saw you." Faced with Jack's shameless self-praise, Wu Yu could only flatter him in return. At the same time, he didn't like to listen to half of what he was told, so he quickly asked, "Then could you tell me about the division of realms?"
