Su Yuntao felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so after saying goodbye, he went out to return to Notting City. Naturally, Ye's father and mother politely went out to see him off.
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and ignored them.
After sitting up from the ground, he fell into thought.
He was more interested in the three system prompts.
What caused such a huge difference in negative emotion values? Ye's father and mother only had a single-digit 6 points, Tang San had 66 points, and Su Yuntao had 266 points.
Is it because of strength? Ye Zhiqiu frowned. From the limited information available, he could only make this inference.
If this is true, then he must find a powerful soul master to brush up on his negative emotion value, so that he will be more efficient.
However, what might follow is that he might be slapped to death.
But there is an old saying that goes, "Fortune and honor are sought in danger."
At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly had a bold idea.
At noon, after Ye Zhiqiu had lunch, he heard the "clang clang" sound of iron hammering coming from next door.
If he remembered correctly, Tang Hao was teaching Xiao San the power-generating technique of the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique at this time.
How could he miss such a moment? Ye Zhiqiu ran towards the next door. He didn't want to learn how to wear a cloak, but to get some wool.
Tang Hao, this big fat sheep, doesn't show up very often; he's either sleeping in or on his way to a drink. Today, they finally have a chance to spend some time together, so Ye Zhiqiu naturally has to seize the opportunity.
Pushing open the broken wooden door of Tang San's house, just as Ye Zhiqiu expected, Tang Hao and Tang San were both in front of the casting table.
Tang San was swinging an iron hammer and continuously hitting a piece of raw iron as big as a human head, sparks flying everywhere.
At this time, Tang San did not use the Xuantian Gong, so he seemed a little tired, and sweat dripped down his forehead, covering his face.
"Hey, Xiao San, the sun is shining brightly outside, and the breeze is blowing gently. How can you waste such a good time on blacksmithing? Why don't you come out with me to have some fun." Ye Zhiqiu pretended to be nonchalant, teasing Tang San while pulling Tang San's shoulders.
Tang San:
Tang Hao:
[Negative emotion value from Tang San plus 66]
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 966]
"Aqiu, my father is teaching me the skills of blacksmithing, I'm busy." Tang San said helplessly.
Ye Zhiqiu pretended to have just discovered Tang Hao and laughed, "I didn't expect Uncle Tang Hao to be here too. I didn't notice. Uncle Tang Hao, are you thirsty? I'll go get you some tea." After saying that, Ye Zhiqiu ran to the table where there was a teapot.
However, it was empty. Ye Zhiqiu noticed it as soon as he lifted the teapot, but he still pretended to pour it twice, then smiled awkwardly at Tang Hao.
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 966]
Tang Hao's face was a little dark, but he didn't want to argue with Ye Zhiqiu, this little brat. As a Titled Douluo, he still had to maintain some dignity.
Tang Hao could only pretend to be indifferent and said indifferently: "No, I'm not thirsty."
"Oh oh." Ye Zhiqiu nodded obediently, then ran back to Tang San and watched with interest.
Tang San continued to swing the hammer with difficulty, forging the raw iron on the casting table.
The task his father gave him was to forge this piece of raw iron, which was as big as a human head, into the size of a fist, and he was not allowed to use soul power.
This was undoubtedly a difficult process, but Tang San still did it. He hammered very hard, and the small hand holding the hammer was shaking a little from the recoil force of the long forging.
The "clang clang" sound of hammering continued for more than ten minutes before Tang San put down the hammer, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to rest.
Ye Zhiqiu waited for more than ten minutes and finally found an opportunity. If he was not looking for Tang San for the negative emotion value, it would be meaningless.
"Xiao San, why are you working so hard?" Ye Zhiqiu asked seriously.
Tang San was stunned. Yes, why do I have to work so hard? From childhood to adulthood, he has been diligently practicing the Tang Sect's unique skills, never stopping. Even now, he is still eager to improve his strength.
His father never urged him to practice; he learned everything on his own.
What was he working so hard for? Was he trying to revive the Tang Sect in this world? Tang San fell into deep thought.
Tang Hao was also quite interested in this question. He wanted to see how his son would answer, but he remained expressionless.
"I don't know." After a long pause, Tang San shook his head and replied. Actually, Tang San had a goal in mind, which was to rebuild the Tang Sect on this Douluo Continent. However, he obviously couldn't say such a thing out loud.
Tang San's words made Tang Hao frown. He was not very satisfied with his son's answer.
In the past, Tang Hao would not have cared about such matters. But after Tang San awakened his Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass dual spirits and decided to embark on the path of a spirit master, Tang Hao's attitude changed.
Because of his hostility towards the Spirit Hall, once Tang San's identity is exposed, his future will be difficult. Therefore, Tang Hao now hopes that his son can become a powerful spirit master, have his own goals, and work hard towards them.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said heartlessly, "Xiao San, just work hard no matter what you do. I know a great man named Lu Xun who once said that hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success, but not working hard will definitely make things easy. Come on, come with me and go out and experience a relaxed and happy life."
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 966]
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 3]
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 5]
[Negative emotion value from Tang Hao plus 4]
The system prompt interface kept scrolling, and Ye Zhiqiu was stunned. What kind of magical operation was this?
Can negative emotion values be increased in this way?
Suddenly, I felt a little panicked. I felt like I'd gotten out of hand. Judging from this negative emotion value, Uncle Tang Hao seemed very angry. I wondered if he would suddenly hit me with a hammer.
Ye Zhiqiu secretly glanced at Tang Hao's face. Hmm! Not bad, not bad. His face was just dark and blue, and he had no intention of taking out the hammer.
It seems like we can still get some more wool?
"Ah Qiu, this great poet named Lu Xun might not be very reliable. He even said such things. You should avoid associating with him in the future." Tang San stroked his forehead. He remembered that Ye Zhiqiu wasn't such a shady guy before. Why did he suddenly change? Could he have learned this from this great poet Lu Xun?
Ye Zhiqiu nodded in agreement, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. He glanced at his negative emotion balance, which was a little over 3,400, still a bit short of 5,000.
It seems that I still have to work harder.
Ye Zhiqiu's goal is to purchase the improved origin of Shukaku from the system mall. This thing is truly amazing.
[The improved essence of the One-Tailed Shukaku: It can be automatically converted into soul power cultivation, helping the host to increase the soul power level. When the soul power reaches a critical value, the energy is used to nourish the body. During battle, if the soul power is exhausted, the energy can be mobilized to replenish it.]
In Ye Zhiqiu's understanding, this is a powerful cheating device. Wouldn't it be great to become stronger while lying down?
