Chapter 53. Farming Points.

Meanwhile, as Ren Qingquan fell asleep like a log, I still focused myself on the sky.

Although I lost the sense of sight shared by him through [Anchor]. But, the range of [Scan] is far enough for me to sense any change happening at the cloud layer above.

Just like that, I spend the whole night observing the surroundings for any sign of danger while Ren Qingquan is still happily sleeping.

To be honest, I slightly miss the feeling of sleeping. Since I arrived in this consciousness space, I lost the ability to sleep. Luckily I never feel tired, and my mental focus is always at tip top condition thanks to [Calculate].

You may have realized it after I repeated the word 'sleeping' so many times. That's right, I am frickin jealous!

Now that I think about it. Since I entered this consciousness space, I either spent my time in complete darkness, busy doing experiments, taking care of Ren Qingquan, or observing things.

I seriously need a vacation time.

When the sky brightened, Ren Qingquan finally woke up from his SLEEP. Even until now, there is still no sign of lightning from the sky.

It looks like lightning will indeed not descend when souls are devoured.

Once he wakes up, the first thing Ren Qingquan does is to ask me a question. 'System, can you store the dust in my clothes and body to achieve something like those Dust Removal Techniques in xianxia novels?'

Hearing his request, I rolled my eyes. His requests are starting to get more and more brazen each day. Do you think I am a vacuum cleaner?

But I still do it anyway as that is quite easy.

Activating [Calculate] to make sure I didn't accidentally tore some of his flesh, I activated [Storage] and stored the dust and other dirty things in his body into his storage space.

[Done]

Feeling his clean body, Ren Qingquan finally rose from his bed and moved outside his 2x2x2 metal shelter.

Throwing the filth I previously stored in [Storage] to the sand nearby, He then stored the metal shelter into [Storage].

'Alright, what should I do today?'

After I heard Ren Qingquan mumble that, I saw him quickly running toward the sea while thinking. 'Let's test how many points I can gather by killing fishes within an hour.'

With that thought, he activated Body Hardening and Armament Transformation before summoning a propeller under his feet. While at it, I also saw him creating swimming goggles using Armament Transformation.

Opening the system map, he searched around for any dots marking creatures at the Body Tempering Stage. Seeing a dot several hundred meters from him, Ren Qingquan quickly moved his body and changed his direction toward that dot. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

After a minute, he successfully found a fish and killed it by using a sword created by Armament Transformation.

Sensing an increase in my energy as he devoured the soul of that fish, I sent a notification to him.

[Ding! Successfully devoured 12 points!]

Because this fish is slightly stronger compared to the previous fishes. The amount of points it gives is also slightly higher.

Stopping to take a breather while reading my notification, Ren Qingquan then continued to look for more Body Tempering Stage fish to kill.

It's not like he can't just kill normal fish without cultivation. But, the amount of effort spent definitely doesn't justify the result. That is unless he can find a huge school of fishes.

As he continued deeper and deeper into the sea. Without realizing it, he is already several kilometers from the island. At his current area, the seafloor is already tens of meters below the sea surface.

Speak of the devil. From [Scan], I sensed a massive amount of fish gathering together under the lead of a Peak Body Tempering Stage fish.

It seems Ren Qingquan also saw those schools of fishes through a system map.

With the help of his propeller, Ren Qingquan quickly swam toward the location where those fishes gather.

Even when he is still several hundred meters from his destination. I already see Ren Qingquan activating his Armament Transformation and turning his propeller into a war crime worthy weapon.

First, I saw him enlarge the blades of those propellers. Next, he added another set of fans that rotate in reverse direction. The new fan is located close to the previous fan. Finally, he sharpeners it and turns the whole thing into a killing machine.

Due to its massive size, the propeller directly increased Ren Qingquan's speed several times.

[System is not too sure about it. So host, you can try to do it.]

Seeing my answer, Ren Qingquan nodded and immediately tried to send a stone granted with Lv 1 subsystem toward the cloud.

But due to the distance and gravity, that stone already fell far before reaching midway toward the clouds.

Ren Qingquan then tried several other ways like creating a giant slingshot from Armament Transformation which also failed.

Seeing him trying so hard, I sighed and told him something that might help.

[Actually, host. As the subsystem's functions all come from System, System also has all the function hosts can grant to a subsystem. Which includes the 'Transfer' function.]

It's not like I tried to hide [Transfer]. After all, I accidentally wrote it into the subsystem function. I just never mentioned it explicitly.

Guess even if Ren Qingquan is nor sharp enough to notice my blunder, the situation will still force me to come clean with him.

Thinking until this point, I sighed once again. Yeah, I know I am just trying to give myself an excuse to feel less bad about lying. But, what is wrong with trying to keep a trump card or two for myself.

While I am trying to soothe myself, Ren Qingquan finally responded. 'System, does that mean you can teleport items or even people?'

Oh no! Hearing him mentioning teleporting people, I just remembered something!

Ren Qingquan practiced the Immortal Body Tempering Method. And one of the side effects of that method is to turn someone LAZIER!

So those bad feelings I previously felt don't actually come from lying. That is actually because of [Calculate]'s subconscious warning!

Lazy people and teleportation ability are like a match made in heaven. God knows how many points Ren Qingquan will waste once the side effect of that cultivation method kicks in and he finally turns lazy. After all, activating [Transfer] is not free!

Although it will only waste his points. But his points are also my points! If he spent it on some useless thing like teleporting to the toilet from bedroom because he is too lazy to move. I think I might die from stress.

Furthermore, several days ago, he already showed some symptoms of turning slightly lazier.

Luckily, Ren Qingquan's next question calmed me down. 'Then, system. How many points do I need to activate [Transfer] to teleport these stones to the clouds?'

If the first question he asked is related to teleport himself. That basically answered my bad guess.

[Answering to the host, the cost for 'Transfer' is calculated by distance, size, and energy the item contains. As the size and energy contained in those stones are negligible. So, to teleport a stone toward those cloud layers requires 1000 points due to the price of 1 point per meter.]

Looking at the price, Ren Qingquan can't help screaming out loud. "What?! So expensive?"

[Indeed. That is why, system recommended the host to upgrade 'Transfer' using 11.000 points first before using it.

By paying 1000 points, the host can decrease the price to 10 meters per point. And by paying another 10.000 points, the host can decrease the price by 100 meters/points! This is such a good deal! System recommended the host to immediately purchase them.]

I saw Ren Qingquan roll his eyes after he finished reading my message, before answering. 'Alright. I spent 11.000 points to upgrade [Transfer].

Seeing him fall into my sales pitch, I smiled and then used the 11.000 points he gave me and spent it all on [Transfer].

[Ding! Upgrades successful.]

Seeing that notification, Ren Qingquan opened his personal panel once again.
