My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 3 Mantis
“This isn’t good either.”

Chu Mu put down the star beast blood in his hand.

He had already looked through the entire row of shelves, but for some reason, none of the star beasts caught his eye, making him want to "just absorb this one."

Perhaps it was because he had been working too hard to obtain the star beast's blood, and now even his choices became more selective.

"Am I a little too indecisive?"

He couldn't help but laugh at himself softly.

"Not really." The salesperson next to him smiled when he heard this. "Almost every customer who chooses Star Beast Blood behaves in a similar way to you."

"Once the Star Beast's blood is absorbed, it cannot be changed. It determines the future of a Star Warrior. No matter how cautious you are, you can understand it."

"Thank you." Chu Mu glanced at the shopping guide who was comforting him, then walked to another row of shelves, picked up one at random, and checked the corresponding star beast records.

"Ok?"

After just one glance, Chu Mu's eyebrows raised slightly.

The star beast from which this star beast blood comes has a slender body, with three pairs of slender and explosive feet in the lower body, and the upper body stands tall, with a pair of bent forelimbs extending.

Judging from its appearance, this star beast has certain similarities with the mantis that Chu Mu knows.

Chu Mu's gaze finally fixed on the opponent's forelimbs.

The forelimbs of this star beast are divided into four parts. The inside of the first two parts are extremely sharp and can be opened into sharp blades like a folding knife. When closed, the joints of the blades become sharp claws. The last two parts are somewhat like human arms.

Although the appearance and structure of the star beast actually have little to do with the source blood itself, it successfully aroused Chu Mu's interest.

The weapon he is good at is the knife!

Look again.

Chu Mu put the source blood back to its original place, noted the location, and then checked other source bloods.

A moment later, he returned here and picked up the source blood again.

"That's it."

"You have good eyesight, customer. This mantis-shaped star beast caused a lot of trouble to the star warrior who killed it." The shopping guide recognized the source blood at a glance. "Among the eighth-level star beast source blood, this is considered to be of very good quality."

"How much?" Chu Mu asked directly.

"23 yuan." The shopping guide said with a smile.

So expensive!

Chu Muxin twitched, "Can't it be cheaper?"

"We are an official Alliance certified blood source store. The price of blood source is set according to the Alliance's guide price. We do not accept bargaining." The shopping guide gave Chu Mu a helpless look, "But our store has a promotion recently. If you spend more than 20 yuan, you will get a bottle of E1 nutrient."

“…Okay.” Chu Mu shook his head helplessly.

He just happened to be able to use E1-level nutrient supplements, so he was no longer picky.

At this moment, he couldn't help but thank Zhou Huan for having the foresight to give him an extra 50,000 yuan.

Otherwise, he would not be able to buy the star beast blood tonight.

After the payment and delivery, the source blood and nutrients were placed in an alloy box and handed over to Chu Mu.

Although he knew that the alloy box was strong enough, Chu Mu still couldn't help but be very careful when carrying it, for fear that the box would be bumped or scratched.

As he walked out of the store with the salesperson saying "thank you for your patronage", he turned on his communicator and transferred the remaining 12,000 yuan from the purchase of the source blood to Zhou Huan, telling him that this was the remaining money from the purchase of the source blood.

However, only a dozen seconds later, the money was returned to his card intact.

[Teacher Zhou: Use the rest to buy a few bottles of medicine and train well.]

Chu Mu felt warm in his heart and did not refuse again.

He just turned back because the 50,000 yuan that Teacher Zhou gave him was for him to buy source blood. If there was any left after buying the source blood, he would naturally return it to the other party. Now Teacher Zhou told him to use the rest to buy potions so that he could use it for other purposes.

This is Chu Mu’s principle.

As for the fact that Teacher Zhou personally sponsored him 50,000 yuan.

This is not a debt, it is a favor.

The kindness should be remembered in our hearts and we will definitely repay it if we have the ability in the future.

Chu Mu's home was not far from Qingcheng Middle School where he studied. It was a simple rental house. Except for the spacious living room, other places seemed crowded and small.

After returning home, Chu Mu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion that he had used for a long time in the middle of the living room and placed the alloy box in front of him.

He didn't open it immediately, but took out his communicator and dialed a number.

"Hello?" A female voice with a hint of laziness came from the other end of the line.

"Sister Juzi, how is my mother today?" Chu Mu's voice was filled with nervousness and concern. "Is everything okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm watching over you." The woman on the other end of the line said, "Aunt Li's physiological indicators are all normal, and today's nutrient solution has been injected."

"That's good." Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. "The day after tomorrow is a rest day. I will come to the sanatorium to see my mother as soon as I finish class tomorrow night."

"Come tomorrow night?!" There was a hint of strange emotion in the voice on the other end of the line.

"what happened?"

"No... You can come over tomorrow night. I need to explain something to you about Auntie's follow-up treatment."

"Okay." Chu Mu frowned slightly and put down the communicator.

Ten years ago, a small-scale star beast invasion occurred in Qingcheng City, resulting in hundreds of deaths and nearly ten thousand injuries. The invading star beasts were then wiped out by star warriors who arrived in time.

Unfortunately, his home was in the center of the star beast invasion at that time.

In order to protect him, who was only six years old at the time, his father Chu Nanzhou died. His mother Li Yuhua suffered a head injury and has not been able to wake up since then. She can only rest in a sanatorium and hire someone to accompany and take care of her.

It was also on that day that Chu Mu set future goals for himself.

Become a powerful star warrior!
He didn't want to be helpless and watch his relatives and friends die in a sudden disaster again.

However, Wu was a spendthrift, and Li Yuhua's illness also required a constant need for money. Although the Alliance had given a lot of pensions after the star beast disaster, there was little left after ten years.

Fortunately, everything will be fine.

Chu Mu opened the alloy box and took out the eighth-grade star beast blood that was as gorgeous as a galaxy with countless silver-white light spots flowing inside. He couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

After absorbing the source blood, he officially became a star warrior.

Star Warriors have more ways to make money.

Our current difficult life can also be changed because of this. If my mother is transferred to a better nursing home, there may be hope that she will wake up.

More importantly, with more money, he would be able to go further on the path of becoming a Star Warrior.

Thinking of this, Chu Mu no longer hesitated. He took off all his clothes, evenly applied the eighth-level star beast's blood to every part of his body, and then drank the remaining blood.

"boom!!!"

There was a roar in my mind and severe pain suddenly spread from all parts of my body, as if every inch of bone and flesh was undergoing a violent transformation under the terrible force.

coming!

Chu Mu, who already knew the precautions for absorbing source blood, sat up straight, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and tried to stay conscious.

The absorption of star beast blood has begun!
