How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 50. Trash Teammate!

While Ren Qingquan is busy devouring the lightning punishment sent by the heavenly will of the cultivation world.

Inside a small boat with some glowing runes engraved on it. Lackey A finally arrived near the island where Ren Qingquan is currently doing an experiment.

From Lackey A's current position he saw lightning bolt akin to a punishment from heaven itself descended into the island continuously.

Brought by his curiosity, Lackey A sent another trace of his spirit qi and activated more formations in his boat which increased its speed even further.

Soon, he arrived within a 10 kilometers radius from that island. Thanks to his good eyesight as a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, Lackey A can see the vague silhouette of a man nearby the location where those lightning keeps on descending.

As he got nearer and nearer to that Island, his view of that silhouette became clearer and clearer. He is incredibly shocked upon seeing the guy with a dumb look he previously saw standing calmly nearby the location those lightning struck. Of course as that guy is currently not in a daze, he doesn't have the same dumb look he previously had.

Activating the stealth formation, he observed that guy for a long time. Seeing that guy calmly throw a stone and then lightning struck the place where the stone landed ten minutes later.

Although Lackey A doesn't quite understand what that guy is doing. He knows one thing for sure. That guy has a treasure, and that treasure is capable of summoning lightning punishment from heaven. Upon reaching this conclusion, he turned envious before starting to have a greedy thought.

'I want that treasure!'

As a self-acknowledged smart person. Lackey A might look like a common brain dead minions of a third rate villain that wouldn't last for more than 2 chapters in a novel. But, he is still capable of using some of his brain cells.

So, activating his Cultivation Realm Detection Magical Technique-Pure Wave Sect Edition. He closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them.

Once he opened them, Lackey A immediately focused his eyes onto that guy. Seeing the result of his detection which shows that guy's realm as merely at the Completion of Qi Refining, He strengthened his resolve to rob that treasure.

Before starting his plan to rob that guy, Lackey A observed that guy for a bit longer.

After learning the pattern of that lighting summoning treasure, which will only activate ten minutes after that guy throws the stone. He is ready to start his plan.

That is when Lackey A remembered Young Master Gu Cheng's warning to only investigate. But, as a person with great aspiration, he has always secretly disliked that Young Master Gu and thought of him as a mere stepping stone. With a harrumph, he started to imagine his beautiful future.

'Hmph. That stupid second generation kid can be damned for all I care. With that powerful lightning treasure, I will be able to injure even a Nascent Soul expert! This will increase my chance of winning when fighting for a fortuitous encounter!'

With that thought, Lackey A controlled his boat to move toward that island while in stealth mode.

Consciousness Space

As I always placed some of my attention at [Scan] since I gained the ability to multitask. Since close to half an hour ago, I have detected a Foundation Building Stage cultivator sailing nearby the island.

At first, I thought that person was just fishing and coincidentally arrived nearby the island. But, seeing the familiar energy fluctuation that guy has, My gut feeling says otherwise.

As the owner of that energy fluctuation has caused quite a ruckus. I remembered him pretty well. I don't know his exact name, so let's call him Lackey A, because he reminds me of those young master's servant NPCs.

Lackey A loudly announces some Young Master's arrival while Ren Qingquan is choosing his mission in the Miscellaneous Hall's Mission Distribution Office. I have always placed him on my 'Creatures to be careful of' list.

It looks like Lackey A is ready to do whatever he is here for, as I saw him start to move toward the island where Ren Qingquan currently is.

As I have quite a bad feeling about Lackey A, I decided to warn Ren Qingquan of his arrival.

[Warning! System detected energy fluctuation at Foundation Building level arriving toward your location!]

Seeing that warning, Ren Qingquan opened the system map and saw a dot quickly moving toward his location from the sea.

Calculating from its speed, Ren Qingquan saw that the dot would arrive within 5 minutes at the latest.

Once that dot arrived within 1 kilometer range from him, Ren Qingquan activated [Scan] and saw his information.

[Name: Unknown

Realm: Foundation Building

Cultivation Method: ?

Magical Technique: ?

Note: Young Master Gu Cheng's minion]

Looking at the panel of that guy, Ren Qingquan thought for a moment before he remembered who Young Master Gu Cheng is.

Remembering one of that young master's annoying lackeys, he decided to ask the system whether or not the one arriving was that specific person. 'System, is the one approaching this island that young master's most annoying lackey?'

[Yes, it is exactly that super loud and annoying guy. It is the lackey which called you a dumb looking guy.]

After seeing my words, Ren Qingquan's face turned annoyed.

Looking at the system map once again, Ren Qingquan saw the size of that dot and then asked me a question. 'System, Foundation Building is equal to Martial Lord in the Martial Arts World right?'

[Yes.]

Upon getting an answer from me, Ren Qingquan's body can be seen turning relaxed. It is understandable as Ren Qingquan already has experience at killing a Martial Lord beast.

Waiting for Lackey A to arrive on the island, Ren Qingquan decided to stop his point farming routine and check his gains.

From the last 3 hours of farming, the points Ren Qingquan gained already increased by 1.800 and changed his status panel into the following:

[Name: Ren Qingquan

Realm: Qi Refining 5/5 (Completion)

Absorbed Spirit Qi: 1 +0.595 (Excess spirit qi can be used to fill spirit qi stored in dantian once there is any extra room for it.)

Point: 44.000

Profession: Formation master (Extremely Weak.)

Cultivation Method: Immortal Body Tempering (Immortal Ascension)

Magical Technique: Armaments Transformation (Perfection), Agile Step (Perfection), Body Hardening (Perfection), Super Duper ... Turtle Shell Technique (First Section), Turtle Divination Art (First Section)

System function: Devour, Shop, Scan, Library, Map (1000 meters radius), Calculate, System Storage (100 cubic meters), Sub system.]

Ren Qingquan was satisfied as he looked at his personal panel. That is until he saw the part showing how many absorbed spirits he has. 'System, why are there 0.204 spirit qi missing from my extra absorbed spirit qi?'

Hearing his question, I can only sigh. It seems Ren Qingquan is having too much fun while he previously used Turtle Divination Arts and didn't realize the amount of spirit it uses.

[You spent 0.4 spirit qi when using the Turtle Divination Arts twice. Then, you spent 0.04 energies when using Armament Transformation and Body Strengthening.]

Seeing my answer, Ren Qingquan screams internally. 'What the hell, that magical technique is so expensive to use?!'

After thinking for a moment, he continued. 'System, can you notify me of my spent energies from now on?'

Well, it is not too difficult. So, I agreed to his request.

[Yes.]

While Ren Qingquan was busy, Lackey A finally arrived on the island.

From Ren Qingquan's view, Lackey A's boat is actually capable of some means to turn itself invisible as he sailed the sea!

Realizing this, I warned Ren Qingquan while I focused on scanning that boat thoroughly. A means to turn invisible will definitely be useful. Although the means is a bit flawed as it actually doesn't hide their energy.

[Host, that young master's lackey has arrived at your island.]

Once lackey A stepped away from his boat, Ren Qingquan could finally see him.

Just like in the Miscellaneous Hall's Mission Distribution Office, Lackey A still has that annoying expression on his face. The kind that makes others want to punch him.

Sensing Ren Qingquan looking at him, Lackey A grinned with an evil smile as he pulled the sword near his waist.

Walking slowly toward Ren Qingquan, Lackey A spoke the word those common small villains in xianxia novels usually use. "Kekeke. Brat, give me your treasure and I will leave your corpse whole!"

From his weird way of laughing to leaving your corpse the whole thing. I don't know where I must start my ridicule.

As Lackey A moved closer and closer to Ren Qingquan, He is instead currently in a daze and asked me an unrelated question. 'System, what treasure is that guy talking about?'

Upon entering this island, I saw Lackey A continuously glancing at the location where the sands had already turned into a field of glass due to being struck by lightning. Which makes me come to the conclusion that Lackey A actually thinks the stones Ren Qingquan threw are treasures. So, I replied to him.

[He probably thought those stones you throw are treasures.]

Wait! Why did I even answer this nonsensical question!

While I was talking with him, Lackey A had already reached the 20 meters range of Ren Qingquan.

[Host! Focus on your enemy! That guy is already close!!!]

Exactly when I warned Ren Qingquan, Lackey A dashed toward him at extremely fast speed.

Hearing my warning, Ren Qingquan subconsciously used Super Duper... Turtle Shell Technique.

According to Ren Qingquan's request, I notified him about the amount of energy he spent.

[You spent 0.1 spirit qi.]

Seeing the amount of energy spent, Ren Qingquan frowned as he thought. 'The price of using this magical technique is so expensive!?'

After Ren Qingquan activated that magical technique, a ball shaped energy shield is quickly released with him as the center. That energy shield surrounded him 5 meters away. Just like the name, this shield is made of small hexagonal shapes which make it look like a turtle shell.

Lackey A is within 5 meters from Ren Qingquan. Once the energy shield is released, he gets knocked backward into the air from the shield's sudden release and momentum.

While in the air, Lackey A used an unscientific way to regain his balance as his body flipped around several times. Before he slowly landed in the sand with a soft thud.

"Damn it!" After regaining his balance, Lackey A cursed and once again launched himself toward Ren Qingquan.

Then, Lackey A slashed the sword in his hand toward the shield generated by Super Duper... Turtle Shell Technique.

*Clang*

With the sound of metal hitting metal, spark flew at the location Lackey A slashed. As a result, cracks appeared on one of the hexagons which make up Super Duper... Turtle Shell Technique's shield.

But, within less than one second, that crack healed on it's own. Sensing as Ren Qingquan's spirit qi are used to heal it, I sent a notification to him.

[You spent 0.01 spirit qi]

'As expected of a super powerful magical technique. Although the amount of spirit qi used is a lot, its defensive power is pretty good.' Seeing how Lackey A couldn't pierce through his shield even though he is a Foundation Building expert, Ren Qingquan calmed down and prepared for his counter attack.

Meanwhile, upon seeing his attack is ineffective. Lackey A started to madly wave his sword toward the shield Ren Qingquan used.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

"Why is your turtle shell so frickin hard!!! Damn coward, get out of your turtle shell!" Accompanied by Lackey A's scream and the continuous sound of iron striking against each other, I sent several notifications toward Ren Qingquan.

[You spent 0.01 spirit qi]

[You spent 0.01 spirit qi]

[You spent 0.01 spirit qi]

[You spent 0.01 spirit qi] x10
