Chapter 44: Divine Ability!
[ Ding! Host gets a Divine Abilty! Temporal Fate Simulation!]
Long Ming suddenly felt a soul tearing pain as he felt a strange power was injecting into his body and soul. It was like someone heated an iron seal and branding on his body, but it was a thousand times more painful.
[ Temporal Fate Simulation: Having Heavenly Comprehension Heart and Heavenly Revelation Eyes, you received a corresponding ability]
[ Using this technique, you can calculate and simulate what will happen in the future or what happened in the past. Its uses are too many, Host can find out on his own. However, It will drain your Spiritual Qi. Beware, If your Spiritual Qi gets overdraft, Host shall face backlash]
Long Ming was stunned he saw the description.
" This... This is... Doesn't that mean I can see the future?"
Long Ming suddenly used the Temporal fate Simulation as the world around him turned hazy. He looked around him and saw everything normal. The birds flying above him and the sun setting.
" Young Master, I have cleaned the manor. Will you go and look inside?" Xiao'er walked to him as she spoke.
Suddenly, Long Ming's body jerked as he canceled the technique. He realized that more than half of his Spiritual Qi was consumed. However, when he looked around him, he saw the same bird flying above him. He looked at his side and saw the exact leaf falling on the ground.
" Young Master, I have cleaned the manor. Will you go and look inside?" Xiao'er walked to him and spoke in a polite voice
" Ah..."
Long Ming was baffled when he saw Xiao'er. Everything happened as he saw in the scene.
' Although it's only for a few moments, I can indeed see the future. Not to mention, I can also see the past.' Long Ming clenched his fist as he suppressed his excitement.
[ Constellation Gold Guarding Miser Dragon has fainted from shock. He is roaring how did that skill go into the System reward box?]
[ Constellation Harem King of Nine World is preparing to infiltrate in Gold Guarding Miser Dragon's harem while he was fainted]
[ Constellation Demon Lord of Lust looked at you with interest]
Long Ming didn't bother with that as he saw his status window. He could see the proficiency rate of Temporal Fate Simulation was only at 0.1% completion rate.
' So, This skill is unaffected by my Heavenly Comprehension Heart, huh? Never mind, I can just use it more and more to increase my proficiency.' Long Ming nodded.
" Very well, Xiao'er. Let's go inside." Long Ming nodded as he went inside. The manor was pretty spacious from the inside. Although there was many types of defense array in the manor, all of them were ineffective due to lack of maintenance.
' I only learned the basics of Formation arts and Runes. Even with my abilities, it will be time consuming for me to decipher these formation plates. Thankfully, they aren't fully damaged.'
As Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush to repair the formation disks, he suddenly paused.
' Wait, Is it possible to reduce the consumption of Spiritual Qi by focusing on limited things?' Long Ming looked at his remaining Spiritual Qi as he activated the Temporal Fate Simulation once again.
However, this time, he only focused on the inscription of the formation disk. He saw himself drawing a rune, but then, the formation disk suddenly shook as it cracked.
Long Ming hastily ended the simulation as he looked at the disk in his hand. He realized that the consumption of energy was much less compared to when he used it for the first time.
' Not to mention, Now I know which rune I should *not* inscribe. So, even for the things I don't know, I can use this skill to reduce my chances of failure!'
Basically, It's fuck around and find out, but in a much more secure way.
[ Ding! Due to unexpected circumstances, the God of Wealth System is closing ahead of its time. Asking Host to give a review in a short while]
' Can't you see I am busy?' Long Ming snorted as he saw the system window. It looked like the miser dragon couldn't endure and was forced to close the system.' Long Ming thought inwardly.
[ Ding! Thousand Venomous Tongue is laughing at Gold Guarding Miser Dragon!]
As hours passed, Long Ming kept using his comprehension, his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, and the Temporal Fate Simulation skill to repair the formation disks.
The skill was completely blended with his Heavenly Revelation Eyes. So now, He can just use his Heavenly Revelation Eyes and use the Temporal Fate Simulation without any hitch.
" Now, Xiao'er, Take these hundred high grade Spirit Stones and place them in the formation disks."
Xiao'er eyes widened when she saw the high grade Spirit Stones. It was something she never saw before, much less touched. She hurriedly nodded and placed the spirit stones in the formation plate.
Long Ming saw chains of runes swirled on the wall as they covered the entire manor and its outer courtyard. Since the high grade stones are used as fuel, the formation can run for a year without any problem.
Not to mention, Long Ming guessed that this formation can even block attacks from a Primordial Spirit Unification Cultivator for a while. With this manor, Long Ming acquired a safe spot for himself.
" En, I am feeling pretty hungry."
" Young Master, Shall I go and cook something?" Xiao'er bowed and asked. Long Ming looked at her as he shook his head.
" There should be many spirit beasts in this mountain. Xiao'er, Go and catch some of them. I will be the one cooking tonight."
Xiao'er was startled as she nodded. Soon, She came back with a large red colored pheasant. Long Ming nodded as he took out the Cooking Sage's Knife.
" Huh?!"
Xiao'er was stunned when she saw Long Ming's expression turning serious. The knife in his hand flashed as he quickly dressed the pheasant. The knife moved fluidly without a single unnecessary movement. The feathers, the skin, the organs, Long Ming separated them in a flash.
" HAAAH!"
Long Ming quickly gathered some herbs from the surroundings and filled it inside the pheasant. After adding some spice, he covered it in leaves and dumped in the fire pit.
" How strange, I never saw such a method of cooking, Young Master." Xiao'er looked at Long Ming with surprise. Long Ming chuckled. " Well, I also only saw it once and never tried. Let's hope it will taste well."
When he was on Earth, he used to watch all sorts of cooking videos on the internet. Although he couldn't cook by himself, the cooking video was aesthetically pleasant for him.
But now, Since he got the Cooking Sage's Knife and Cooking Skill, he will fulfill his desire and cook whatever he likes.
Soon, Xiao'er felt her mouth flooding with saliva as the aroma of the pheasant invaded her nostrils. She felt like her tastebuds tingling just from the aroma.
Long Ming took it out and unfurled the leaves, as the tasty aroma became stranger. Taking a slice, he put it in Xiao'er mouth.
" THIS!!!"
Xiao'er felt an explosion of flavors in her mouth when she chewed that piece. " This...This tastes so good! I never ate something like that!"
" Haha, As long as you enjoy." Long Ming laughed as he ate it too.
' Mmm, This is really tasty. Damn, if I had this skill in past life, I would have opened a restaurant.' Long Ming and Xiao'er quickly finished the entire pheasant.
Since it was a spirit beast living in Solitary Flower Peak, its body was filled with natural True Qi which is nourishing to one's body. Xiao'er got up and stretched her body.
" Mmmm, It was really good. Both my body and mind feeling rejuvenated. Young Master, Since it's already evening, Shall I prepare a bath for you?"
Speaking about bath, Both Xiao'er and Long Ming looked at each other as the atmosphere turned a bit amorous. Xiao'er remembered their first bath as she turned around.
" I will take that as Yes." She left hurriedly.
Sitting outside, Long Ming couldn't help but let out a laugh. Such life is sure something, huh?
" Now, I think I should write a review." Long Ming opened the system window.
" God of Wealth System is pretty good, but there are some obvious flaws in it."
" First, change the monetary system. The money will only add when a person earns the money and deposits it in the System. In that way, they won't be able to take it out and forced to spend within the system."
' Hehe, Sorry, My future system users. But I have to fix the bugs after exploiting them, you know?' Long Ming gave a devious cackle.
It was something like premium in game currency. You use real money to buy premium currency and with that, you can buy premium items in a game.
" Second, The shop is all jumbled up. You should set a filter system for ease of access."
" Third, The daily mission needs to be optimized a bit, but its still good, nonetheless."
Long Ming gave the review and clicked on submit.
[ Ding! Review has been sent! Constellation Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is taking notes!]
[ As review compensation, Gold Guarding Miser Dragon gives you 100 Star Coins]
[ Star Coins: Using this as causality, you can get items, help, or information from Constellations]
[ Just another piece of information: 100 Star Coins are pretty low. So, Host can forget about getting some Divine Treasures or World Shaking Secrets]
Long Ming grumbled when he saw it the last time. " Why you have to act like an edgelord, huh?"n0VElusb.c0m
Looking at the sky fading into darkness, the stars start to appear. Long Ming gave a light smile as he lay on the grass.
" Hmm, I still have my Random Physique Orb and a Dark Gold grade Treasure Chest, huh?" Long Ming mumbled.
" Young Master, The bath is ready."
A grin appeared on Long Ming's lips when he heard Xiao'er voice. Without wasting a second, he walked inside and took off his robes.
' Well, Treasures can wait. Let me have some relaxation now.'
" Hmm, So you are saying he killed three True Core Formation Stage assassins in one go, huh? And he is the one helping the Eternal Spring Tower and Four Seasons Valley?"
" Yes, My Lady."
A girl wearing a veil sat beside the window as she listened the report. A light grin appeared on her face as she looked at the moon.
" How amusing. A sudden emergence of a young man with mysterious background and cultivation, hm? Perhaps we might get an unexpected helper here."
If Long Ming was here, he would have recognized the girl. She was the same girl who opened twelve petals of the white lotus in Flower Boat Festival.
