Chapter 68. System The Kidneypper
The next morning, Ren Qingquan woke up from his sleep. After stretching his body, he went outside the metal house and stored it inside [Storage].
While flying in mid air once again, Ren Qingquan talked to me. ‘System, do you think it is better to grant a subsystem to a child of luck or to an expert?’
Right after saying that, he paused.
If I had a body, both of us would be staring at each other right now.
Ren Qingquan thought. ‘Never mind, let’s choose another child of luck. One Ren Qingchen is scary enough, I don’t want to handle another old fox.’
Sigh, even Ren Qingquan is traumatized by Ren Qingchen. I guess it will take a long time until both of us heal mentally from that shock.
[Agreed. Furthermore, we still don’t understand the trump cards of high-level cultivators. Although the System can activate ‘Devour’ and make the world summon a space crack to attack them. But who knows, one of their trump cards might be to block that space crack. For the sake of stability, System recommends the host to look for children of luck that have at most nascent soul stage cultivation.]
‘Alright.’ nodding his head, Ren Qingquan continued to fly randomly while in a daze.
Soon, from Ren Qingquan’s shared sense of sight, I saw small dots in his 2 o’clock direction. After another five minutes, the dots turn bigger and the silhouette of a city can be seen.
[Host, there is a city at your 2 o’clock direction.]
Shaking his head to wake up, Ren Qingquan tilted his head to the left before squinting his eyes really hard.
[Host, 2 o’clock is to the right!]
Which elementary school do you study at! I need to mark it down so if I have a child, I won’t accidentally send them there.
After retorting him in my mind, I checked the Peak Master duo tasked to follow Ren Qingquan. Seeing how they actually choose the wrong direction, I sighed in relief.
Guess Ren Qingquan can stay in this city for a while.
When Ren Qingquan was within one kilometer of the city wall, I sensed the existence of a formation engraved on the city wall. Using my knowledge in formation and a little bit of wild guess, that formation is most likely used to block cultivators from forcefully entering.
So, I warned him about that formation.
[Host, don’t forcefully enter the city! There are formations guarding it. System recommends you to change your body and turn off your invisibility technique while only keeping the anti divination part on.]
‘Alright.’ Ren Qingquan then followed the method written inside Don’t Peek At Me, Pervert! technique and transformed his face and body.
When I saw the super dashing face Ren Qingquan transformed into, I wanna vomit blood.
[Please be serious and use a normal face. That face you used will attract a lot of attention!]
At this time, he is already extremely close to the city gate. Below it, there is a winding line of people and caravans trying to enter the city.
Controlling his Evanescent Movement technique, Ren Qingquan who now has a normal-looking face, floated down gently as he turned visible. While removing his invisibility, Ren Qingquan also activated his Turtle Divination Technique and took a quick glance toward the crowd.
Seeing Ren Qingquan who suddenly appeared while slowly descending, the surrounding people bowed in respect and fear.
After scanning the line of crowd, Ren Qingquan can’t see any people with great luck. To be honest, the average amount of luck those people have are lower than the people he scanned at the Pure Wave Sect before.
Soon, a guard with Qi Refining cultivation went toward him with a fawning smile plastered on his face. “Greeting senior, how may this junior help you?”
Ren Qingquan answered while looking at the guard, “Don’t you see I am lining up to enter the city?”
As if surprised by his answer, the guard replied. “Ah? There is no need for senior to line up. This line is for low-level cultivators and mortals who wish to enter the city.”
When Ren Qingquan heard it, he was a bit confused. Sensing the confused look he had, the guard explained. “Senior seems to be someone focused on attaining the dao. From senior’s ability to fly, you are definitely an expert at the Golden Core stage and above. That’s why senior may enter the city immediately.”
“I see, then please bring me inside.” Ren Qingquan calmly replied to the guard while internally he was screaming, ‘Woohoo! Preferential treatment rock!’
With the guard in lead, they quickly arrived at the city wall’s gate.
I deviated from the important topic. Anyway, as learning common sense is incredibly important, I sent a mission to make sure Ren Qingquan will do it.
[A mission has been added.
Mission: Learn common knowledge
Detail: Learn common knowledge of the cultivation world.
Deadline: 1 day.
Reward: 1000 points.
Punishment: 10 minutes of electric shock. ]
Seeing the sudden mission notification I sent, Ren Qingquan rolled his eyes. ‘System, can’t you get a bit creative with the punishment?’
ಠ益ಠ
Are you challenging me?!
Changing the word of that mission screen, I sent a new one to Ren Qingquan.
[A mission has been updated.
Mission: Learn common knowledge
Detail: Learn common knowledge of the cultivation world.
Deadline: 1 day.
Reward: 1000 points.
Punishment: Losing a kidney. You have two anyway. ]
Looking at the mission panel I updated, Ren Qinquan immediately screamed internally.
‘Wait System! I take back my word! You are the most amazing system in the world, the most creative system in the world, and... and the most knowledgeable system in the world!’ Due to panic, I even heard him stutter midway through his thought.
[No, don’t worry too much. As long as host finishes the mission, you will still have a pair of kidneys.]
Reading my cold-blooded words, his face paled. ‘I still don’t wanna bet on my kidney~.’
Looking at Ren Qingquan whose face turned pale, the guard asked in concern. “Senior, is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing. Can you lead me to the nearest association? I am not a member of any association, though. So, I only wish to look around.”
“Alright! Please follow me, senior!” Right after saying that, the guard looked at Ren Qingquan.
Seeing as Ren Qingquan nodded his head, the guard quickened his footsteps.
While walking, the guard spoke. “The nearest association is the Talisman Association. Not only are they capable of creating talismans, the calligraphy they wrote is also often sold like a hot cake.”
Right after the guard said that, I heard him mumble in a soft voice. “Their writings are ugly as shit though.”
Both of them soon reached the Talisman Association’s building. It is a three storied building made of wood that gives off a calming fragrance. Above the main door, there is a wooden sign with three vertical squiggly lines written.
When Ren Qingquan and the guard were only several meters from the main door, it suddenly flung open as a young man with a pair of dark eye bags got thrown out of it.
Following the flying young man, a middle-aged man wearing a robe engraved with the same symbol of Talisman Association snorted as he glared at the young man.
“Hmph. A trash like you actually dares to call yourself a Talisman Master. What a shameless brat! You are tarnishing the name of our association!”
