In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 50

As darkness recedes, light naturally follows.

Vicky now has 'hope'!

She hopes to become healthier, to keep this job longer, and to earn more money so that she can leave this small town in the future.

Although the rumors about her seemed to be increasing and becoming more and more unpleasant, Caroline and the others who noticed Vicky's changes changed their opinion of her considerably, and more and more people also noticed her transformation.

Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.

Besides marveling at the influence of money on people, Sue also felt happy and satisfied because of Vicky's change.

Besides Vicky, the relationship between Su and the three members of the Diary Sisters is also getting better and better. They appear at Su's house almost every day, either having breakfast together before school or watching movies together on Su's big TV after school.

As for Anna and Pearl, Anna would occasionally ask Sue to bring her back using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Pearl behaved very calmly, seemingly having no intention of ruling Mysterious Falls Town.

But, who knows?

On the first day of the new year, the Su family welcomed an unexpected person.

"You haven't left the town yet?" Su asked, somewhat surprised to see Stefan standing outside the door.

Several days had passed since their last meeting. Su hadn't paid much attention to Stefan and his old nephew, and had assumed that Stefan had already left. Unexpectedly, not only had he not left, but he had actually come to find her.

"What is your relationship with Anna?" Stefan asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Did Anna come looking for you?"

“I know this used to be Anna’s home, and I’ve also heard that the girlfriend you were with is named Anna. Most importantly… I saw a mother and daughter in the next town who look a lot like my acquaintance Anna and her mother, Pearl, who should have died long ago!”

Stefan stared intently at Su Shi: "I've been observing you for several days. Although I don't know what your purpose is, I don't think you're a bad person. So, can you tell me why someone who should have been burned alive is still alive?"

Looking at the nervous and anxious Stefan, Sue smiled: "What you really want to know is whether Catherine is still alive like Pearl, isn't it?"

Stefan frowned: "So you do know Catherine too."

“I know more than just Catherine,” Su said after a moment’s thought. “I’ve been researching verbena recently. If you’re willing to cooperate with me on my research, I can give you a definite answer!”

"I agree." Stefan agreed without even thinking.

"Catherine is still alive."

Stefan's expression instantly became incredibly complicated and conflicted. After a long while, he spoke up: "Tell me the answer now, aren't you afraid I'll change my mind?"

“30 minutes. I’ll give you a 29.5-minute head start. No matter where you run or hide, if I don’t show up in front of you after 30 minutes, the deal is off.” Su raised the corners of her mouth: “Not only that, if I lose, I can also tell you something about Catherine that you definitely don’t know.”

"You're very capable, and your methods are quite unique, but I don't believe I can't even dodge for half a minute."

Sue raised her watch, and under the sunlight, the luxury watch, worth more than 300,000 US dollars, meticulously performed its function.

As the hour struck, Sue clapped her hands at Stefan, who was poised to begin: "Please begin your performance."

Without a word, Stefan turned and left quickly. In no time, his figure had left the town center, and he began to use his vampire powers to move further and further away from the Su family at an inhuman speed.

"Was that person your friend?" Elena asked curiously as she appeared next to Su Shi.

Su shook her head: "Not yet, and who knows about the future. Didn't you ask me before who the vampire I was fighting was? It was him."

"Ah..." Elena was taken aback, and asked nervously, "What does he want from you? You won't be in any danger, will you?"

……

P.S.: I didn't initially intend to write anything about Vicky's changes, but as I wrote, I realized this approach wasn't bad. It's positive, logically consistent with the development of events, and provides an extra loyal errand girl.

Chapter 93 Chakra Fruit

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—" Stefan's figure darted through the jungle. In less than 30 minutes, he had already left Mystic Falls and even passed through Amherst City, preparing to leave Virginia without stopping.

He acknowledged Su Shiqiang's strangeness and realized he was no match for him. If it weren't for the fact that Catherine's information was so important to him, even more so than his own safety, he would never have approached Su Shiqiang.

He also admitted that the strange space and Su's way of moving were very special, so special that he felt despair whenever he thought about it. But for the sake of Catherine's news, he had to hold on for half a minute. As long as he could not be caught up for half a minute, he would win.

Time passed second by second, and Stefan was getting further and further away from Mysterious Falls.

Just as he was staring at the time, about to enter the last half minute, suddenly his vision blurred, and a man and a woman appeared in front of him without warning.

Stefan stopped instinctively.

"Impossible...impossible...you...how did you catch up with me? How did you find me?" Stefan stared wide-eyed at Sue and Elena, the last glimmer of hope and confidence he had vanished instantly.

In just half a minute, Su was already standing in front of him. This despair, with no chance whatsoever, caused Stefan to collapse instantly. Somewhat dejectedly, he took out a small cloth bag from his person and threw it limply to the ground.

"A spell bag?" Su Shi patted Elena's shoulder to ease her discomfort from teleportation while looking at the bag that Stefan had thrown on the ground with some surprise.

"They said it would prevent tracking, but it seems useless now," Stefan explained weakly, bowing his head. "I lost."

Su gently patted Elena's shoulder again. Elena, who had recovered, looked at Su's gesturing look, curiously walked over, picked up the spell ribbon, and handed it to Su.

"wait for me."

After Su finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash. A dozen seconds later, he reappeared, smiling, and said, "It's been verified. This magic bag is real."

"Really?"

"It can only prevent demons."

This enchanted bag that prevents demons from tracking you is clearly from evil forces; only the Wen brothers and other demon hunters in Supernatural deal with demons all the time.

"Where did you get this?" Su asked curiously as she tossed the magic bag back to Stefan.

"You don't want it? Even if you don't need it, you can give it to someone you know." Stefan was a little surprised, and glanced at Elena.

Stefan had already noticed the woman who looked exactly like Catherine during his days of secretly observing Su Shi. He was initially quite startled, but after learning that she wasn't Catherine, he couldn't help but speculate about her relationship with Catherine. This was one of the reasons why he sought out Su Shi to inquire about Catherine's fate.

Elena and Sue had a close relationship, and Sue knew Anna. Anna's mother, who was supposed to be dead, had come back to life, so Stefan thought that Sue might know about Catherine.

"I'll come find you tonight." Su didn't explain why she didn't leave the magic bag behind, nor how she caught up with Stefan. She just gave this one sentence and left again with Elena.

"..."

What could Stefan say? He had to walk the path he had chosen himself.

Back in Mysterious Falls, Su took the initiative to escort Elena to school. The two strolled along, and many people witnessed this scene. Su didn't seem to mind, but Elena was somewhat shy.

Waving goodbye and watching Elena enter the school gate, Su left a Flying Thunder God mark nearby and then teleported home instantly.

Vicky was waiting for her at the door. Breakfast had already been bought, and after thinking for a moment, Su gave her $20,000 as a monthly allowance. After breakfast, Su went upstairs to continue her research on verbena.

In the afternoon, the three sisters arrived as promised. Caroline inquired about Su taking Elena to school that morning, seemingly casually. Elena said it was just a coincidence, but Caroline didn't believe her at all.

I've never heard Su mention any interest in their school during this time, so how could we happen to run into each other on our way to school?

Caroline felt a little nervous because she thought her best friend might be competing with her.

Although Elena didn't stand out at school, her beauty was undeniable. Everyone knew Sue, and Caroline felt threatened if Elena secretly competed with her.

Sue's answer was the same as Elena's, which made Caroline feel even more threatened.

"Ding!"

The sudden system notification made Su, who was sitting on the sofa watching an old movie with them, frown. She then got up, said she was going to the bathroom, and went upstairs.

Upstairs, in the bedroom.

Su opened the system panel and immediately saw the Chakra Fruit that had appeared in his inventory.

The special mission of training ninjas has been completed, and Olivia was naturally the one who helped him complete this mission; she finally refined chakra.

They gave her the Chakra Refining Technique and the Konoha headband, but it still took her several months to refine her chakra. It was really... not easy.

Taking out the Chakra Fruit, Su Shi took a deep breath and swallowed it directly.

The moment the Chakra Fruit entered his body, Su Shi's chakra began to surge wildly, and the sudden surge almost made him scream out loud.

"...This power...is so strong!" Su could feel that in addition to the surge in chakra, his body was also undergoing subtle changes.

"Etherealization, activate!"

Before things got out of control, Su entered the alternate dimension.

The moment he entered the alternate dimension, the use of chakra caused the changes that he could have suppressed to go berserk, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from his body, rapidly spreading outwards with a destructive aura.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A silent explosion rang out, and the ground beneath Su's feet instantly caved in and collapsed. Immediately afterward, a tearing pain shot through his forehead, as if something was trying to burst out of it.

The horn of the Otsutsuki clan?

It's the third eye on the forehead, a special eye technique that is said to be unlocked only by consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree—the Rinne Sharingan Zero?

boom!

The silent force caused Su's body to shudder suddenly, and then the surging, turbulent power calmed down.

Su opened his eyes, his Byakugan and Sharingan automatically activated. He felt that the chakra within his body had become so immense that it made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

ten times!

It has increased at least tenfold from the original amount of chakra!

If we were to describe it numerically, the original amount of Su's chakra was 1, and now it's 10. The original scale and power of the ninjutsu were 1, and now they've also become 10.

With such a massive amount of chakra, coupled with the original recovery speed, Su Shi can finally turn Shikigami Dance into a passive ninjutsu, and it should be no problem to keep it active 24 hours a day.

……

P.S.: There's still relatively little information about the Otsutsuki clan, especially since it's mostly concentrated in Boruto, which is really hard to watch. I have to rely on research.

Chapter 94 Evolutionary Direction and the Creator of the Ninja

According to the original explanation, the Chakra Fruit is a combination of amazing energy and genetic cells, and the Otsutsuki clan gradually completes the modification of their self-evolution by absorbing the Chakra Fruit.

The key point is that the Chakra Fruit gradually completes the modification of self-evolution. In other words, the real function of the Chakra Fruit is not to increase chakra, but to allow the body or genes to evolve.

The Otsutsuki clan comes from a distant alien planet. They have lifespans of thousands of years and can be reincarnated through the "Karma" seal, making them beings who transcend death.

The Otsutsuki clan planted a divine tree on the planet's surface. The tree's roots spread to every corner of the planet, absorbing the chakra of all living beings on the planet. After that, they produced chakra fruits, which they then collected and used to evolve by consuming the fruits.

The Sage of Six Paths has half-human blood, so his lifespan is only the length of an Earthling, not the thousand-year lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan. The horns on the Sage of Six Paths' head are much smaller than those of the Otsutsuki clan.

Indra and Ashura were born from a hybrid of the Sage of Six Paths and a human, possessing only one-quarter of the Otsutsuki bloodline. They no longer possess the characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan (byakugan and horns) and do not belong to the Otsutsuki clan.
