My future updates weekly.

Chapter 41 Turning Warm Banknotes into Cold Power

The "future heroic spirit" revealed by Jiang He through his talent is not a one-time product.

Once a Heroic Spirit disappears, he can summon the same Heroic Spirit again after a cooldown period.

However, unlike the weekly refreshed "Future Reveals", the "cooldown time of the Heroic Spirit itself" is not fixed.

Based on Jiang He's understanding of his own talent, the stronger the future heroic spirits will be, the longer their cooldown time will be.

It's not surprising that a super S-class hero like the White Crane could have a cooldown period of ten days to half a month, or even several months to a year.

Therefore, Jiang He must prepare for a long-term loss of his talent for using words.

In other words, before Friday night arrives, he must take advantage of his remaining talent for Word Power to draw a large number of spells of various types, thereby avoiding the Word Power storage limitations of the Word Power Holder profession and ensuring that he has enough Word Power to use most of the time.

Moreover, the way the Word Bearer gains experience is by drawing spells.

Jiang He's process of drawing incantations can also quickly improve the level of the Word Bearer profession, thereby expanding the upper limit of Word Spirit storage.

This is a win-win situation.

"The captain gave me a little over a hundred grams of spiritual blood left, which is not enough to draw a large number of incantations."

"Besides, this is all C-grade spirit blood; it's such a waste to use it for leveling up..."

"I'll go to the breeding farm to buy some spirit blood."

Jiang He changed his clothes and left the Blood Refining Chamber.

However, he did not leave the fire station directly, but instead took a walk around and found Zhang Zhiyong in the canteen.

It was lunchtime, and Zhang Zhiyong was eating lunch. When he saw Jiang He coming over, he raised his hand and greeted him, "Xiao Jiang, wanna come together?"

Jiang He glanced at Zhang Zhiyong's lunch, which was a large pot of food from the fire station's canteen. The ingredients were rare and extraordinary materials such as exotic beast meat, which were rich in nutritional value, but the taste was really hard to describe.

Jiang He decisively shook his head: "No, Captain. I want to ask about the A-level merit that Teacher Zhong mentioned earlier..."

"I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now." Zhang Zhiyong swallowed the pork chop and wiped his mouth.

"The Parliament's Class A merit is very valuable, and it applies to everyone, whether you are a firefighter, a security guard, a teacher, or in any other profession."

“Take our fire department as an example. If you want to be promoted to deputy director or director in the future, an A-level merit is a necessary factor.”

"Secondly, regardless of your position, A-level merit can improve your benefits and compensation."

“For example, I have received a B-level merit once, so I have a high monthly quota of spirit blood… If it were you, after the procedures are completed, your monthly quota of spirit blood would probably be higher than mine.”

Jiang He's eyes lit up.

For him, the value of spiritual blood quota is not only in body tempering, but can also be used to draw incantations, improve job level, and so on, making it extremely versatile.

We welcome all comers, the more the better!
Zhang Zhiyong continued, "In addition, those who obtain A-level merit for the first time can also choose a B-level supernatural item from the council's treasury."

Extraordinary item!

Jiang He's heart raced.

Just like the magical treasures of immortals in myths and legends, the extraordinary era has all sorts of extraordinary items.

These items are incredibly diverse, with varying abilities; some are naturally occurring, while others are man-made.

Their only commonality is that they are "precious".

Just like the Arc Light Organization's attack on Zhongzhou City, it was all for the purpose of seizing the S-level item [Tears of Heavenly Justice] from Chi Zhenshan.

In fact, the item did not belong to Chi Zhenshan; he had borrowed it from the council for temporary use.

In the future, his strength will drop drastically due to injury, but he will not receive help from the council and will instead be kicked out of the mayor's position, which is also related to his failure to keep this item safe.

Two days ago, Jiang He seized the Stealth Emblem from the wolf, which was a C-grade man-made supernatural item.

This item is definitely worth no less than ten million!

Selling it would be troublesome, so Jiang He doesn't want to sell it for the time being. Now, he can freely choose any B-grade item from the council's treasury?
Jiang He asked impatiently, "When will the election be held?"

"It will take at least two or three days for the parliament to confirm the merits," Zhang Zhiyong said.

Jiang He looked disappointed.

Never mind, a couple of days is fine too.

The new Heroic Spirit has just been released, so I'll go pick out equipment with my other self.

After discussing the A-level merits, Jiang He revealed his true intention: "Captain, I want to buy some spirit blood. Do you have any connections?"

"Spiritual blood?" Zhang Zhiyong asked doubtfully, "You should still have a lot of the 200 grams of spiritual blood you were given. Once you receive your A-level merit points, you should be able to get at least a few hundred more grams, which should be enough for your body tempering, right?"

"It's not for body tempering; I have other uses for it," Jiang He said. "The quality doesn't need to be very high; E-grade spirit blood will do. As for quantity... how much can one million buy?"

Jiang He went all out to level up this time.

His heart was bleeding when he uttered the words "one million".

This is all his money!
"One million?!"

Zhang Zhiyong suddenly stood up.

In the canteen, firefighters from other teams looked over, he waved to them, and sat down again.

What shocked him wasn't the amount of money, but...

"For E-grade spirit blood, the wholesale price is around one hundred per gram, so one million would be ten thousand grams."

"Twenty catties of spirit blood, more than you can use for hot pot. How many meals are you planning to eat with that?"

【Spiritual Blood】is not ordinary beast blood, but a life essence similar to the blood of a martial artist.

What is he planning to do that requires so much spiritual blood?!
Jiang He pondered for a moment.

One spell requires 2 grams of spiritual blood, so 1 grams would be 5000 spells.

One spell can increase the Word Bearer class experience by 1 point. 5000 experience points are enough for him to raise the Word Bearer class level to lv30.

Of course, tomorrow is Friday, and Jiang He definitely won't be able to use up all that spiritual blood in such a short time.

However, he also needs to level up next week, so buying these spirit bloods will definitely not be a loss.

Jiang He struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately decided to transform the warm banknotes into cold power.

"Uncle, please don't ask anymore. You wouldn't understand the ways of us Word Spirit Talents."

"..."

Is this a talent for using words or a talent for using blood?
Zhang Zhiyong really wanted to complain, but seeing Jiang He's conflicted expression, he suddenly realized something.

This is probably not what Jiang He needs, but what that white-haired man needs.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, since you put it that way, I won't ask anymore."

"You need a lot of E-grade spirit blood, right? Hmm, I do have a way to get the price down to around 60 per gram."

60 per gram?

One thousand grams costs 60, that's a net saving of 40?!
Jiang He stood up excitedly, leaned over the table, and tightly grasped Zhang Zhiyong's hands.

"Uncle, I love you to death!!"

"Since you're already calling me uncle, what else is there to say? Just buy it."

Zhang Zhiyong collected the leftover food, threw the plates into the washing area, and led Jiang He out of the cafeteria.

"Let's go to the farm."
