Chapter 14 You Have to Be a Little Tougher on Yourself
"What do you want? My meat doesn't taste good at all!"
Sensing the sudden malice, the cat sage completely bristled, clutching his cane and trembling as he asked Rhodes in a shaky voice.
"Cough cough"
Rhode had intended to scare the cat master, but he hadn't expected the guy to be so timid, so he had to abandon his joking intentions: "Cat master, it's like this, I've come here to exchange some Senzu beans with you."
"Senzu beans?"
Hearing that Rhodes didn't want to eat him, but rather for the useless Senzu Beans, Master Nekomamushi breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He quickly waved his cane, moved the jars containing the Senzu Beans in front of Rhodes, and generously said:
"The Senzu Beans are all here, take as many as you like."
Take whatever you want?
Rhode heard what the cat sage said, and his gaze swept over the several large jars of Senzu Beans in front of him. He subconsciously swallowed.
One Senzu Bean is one life. Looking at the several jars full, I roughly estimate there are at least tens of thousands of them. Tens of thousands of Senzu Beans are tens of thousands of lives, not to mention there may be more!
"Thank you very much, Cat Sage!"
Since Master Cat was so generous, Rhode didn't stand on ceremony and, to Master Cat's astonishment, packed up several jars of Senzu Beans.
Rather than letting Yajirobe waste these jars of Senzu Beans by eating them, it's better to keep them for myself; at least I won't waste them.
Thinking this, Rod ignored the cat sage's expression and put away the jars of Senzu Beans using a magic capsule.
Of course, since it's an exchange, it can't be taken for free.
Rhodes would never bully a cat. After putting away the Senzu Bean, he took out the All-Purpose Capsule.
boom!
After a puff of smoke, a solar-powered refrigerator appeared in front of the man and the cat.
"Cat Sage, this is a piece of furniture that people use nowadays. It can be used to store food and keep it fresh."
While explaining to the cat sage, Rhodes found a suitable spot on the Kalin Tower to set up the solar panels and then connected the power lines.
boom!
Another magic capsule opened, and as soon as it appeared, the cat sage's eyes lit up and he rushed over.
Because this time it was a transparent glass tank filled with many fish, at this moment, looking at the fish swimming inside through the glass, the cat hermit's squinted eyes opened.
He was clearly very pleased with the gift.
"Cat Fairy, although I brought the fish tank, it's too high up here; I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive!"
Seeing the cat sage staring at the fish, Rhodes had to remind him.
After all, this place, Kalin Tower, is deep in the sky with a thin atmosphere, and the creatures living here are not ordinary; fish, as normal creatures, are clearly not included.
"I can handle this little thing!"
In response to Rhodes' concerns, the cat licked its lips, casually waved its paws, and said confidently.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
It's good that the cat sage can solve this problem. As for how to solve it, Rhode doesn't need to worry about it. As a sage, it's normal for him to have some special methods.
"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!"
Rod brought a refrigerator and a large glass tank of fish. The cat fairy instantly lost his fear of them and even developed a liking for them.
In the eyes of the cat sage, exchanging a few jars of useless Senzu Beans for these things was an absolute steal!
"Nekko-sensei, how's the Senzu Bean production going these days?"
Although you get a few jars of Senzu Beans, they are finite and will eventually run out. Therefore, only a continuous production of Senzu Beans can ensure longevity.
In response to Rhodes' question, the cat sage shook his head: "The yield is not high, only a few beans each year. Those few jars of Senzu Beans are the result of many years of accumulation."
"Can we improve planting methods to increase yield?"
Upon hearing that only a few Senzu Beans were produced each year, Rod frowned. Who could possibly eat that many? Production had to be expanded.
"This is difficult!"
Rhodes' suggestion was met with a disapproving shake of the cat sage's head, followed by a puzzled look at him: "These beans may fill your stomach, but they don't taste good and aren't very useful. Why are you so concerned?"
Not very useful?
Upon hearing the cat sage's assessment of the Senzu Beans, Rhode's lips twitched involuntarily.
Perhaps for a hermit like Master Neko, who is detached from worldly affairs and dislikes fighting, Senzu Beans are indeed of little use except for filling one's stomach, but for someone who is constantly engaged in battle, they are an invaluable treasure.
Thinking of this, Rod suddenly realized that although the Cat Sage wasn't very strong, he still had the title of a sage, and with his strength, eating fish wouldn't be difficult at all.
But this guy just stayed on Kalin Tower, never going down or actively chasing fish.
However, when the fish was placed in front of him, the cat hermit showed an intense desire for it, which was quite contradictory.
Perhaps this is the realm of immortals, which is hard for mortals to understand.
"Senzu beans will be very useful in the future. If you can increase production, please do your best."
Rhodes spoke earnestly and sincerely to Master Cat, but seeing that Master Cat clearly wasn't very interested, he thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, as long as you work hard to increase Senzu Bean production, I'll provide you with this number of fish every month!"
As he spoke, Rod held up a finger to the cat sage.
Upon seeing Rhodes's outstretched finger, the Cat Sage quickly shook his head: "One isn't enough, I want ten!"
Ten articles?
Rod looked at his fingers, then at the cat sage who seemed to have made a great decision before shouting out ten fish. He could no longer bring himself to make the promise of a hundred fish a month.
The world of immortals is something I, a mere mortal, truly cannot understand!
"Okay, it's a deal then!"
With a helpless shake of his head, Rhode and the cat sage reached an agreement. In this way, there would be no more situations where people would want to break a Senzu Bean in half to eat it.
Having finalized the issue of increasing Senzu Bean production, Rhodey began discussing martial arts with Master Neko.
The cat master in front of him had lived for over eight hundred years and had more experience than Master Roshi. After a conversation, Rhode also gained a lot.
As for the other specialties of the Cat Sage, Rhodes wasn't very interested.
Somersault Cloud?
Not only was it slower than flying, but Rhodes was also well aware of his limitations and knew he couldn't ride it.
As for the "super water" that supposedly has potential for development, this highly toxic substance is completely mismatched with the potential it could have, so it's better not to drink it at all.
After saying goodbye to the cat sage and returning to the temple, he saw that Ella was receiving guidance from Popo and there were no problems, which immediately put his mind at ease.
After that, Rhodes left the temple, found a deserted wasteland, put a Senzu Bean in his mouth, and began to condense an energy blast in his hand.
The next moment, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, aiming the energy blast directly at himself, who was completely unprotected.
boom!
The energy bomb exploded, and Rhodes, who was completely unprotected, suffered minor injuries.
Clearly, even though he was determined to kill himself, he still held back, so the damage was not significant.
However, this only lasted the first time; afterwards, he became ruthless towards himself.
Boom boom boom!
Energy blasts exploded all over his body, and in an instant, Rhode was severely injured, collapsed to the ground, and even moving became extremely difficult.
quack!
Feeling his current physical condition, and knowing he would die after a few more rounds, Rhode immediately chewed the Senzu Bean in his mouth.
