How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 59. Ungaboonga, Caveman!

Eh? I am extremely confused here. Why did Ren Qingquan suddenly gain an important sounding position?

Looking at Ren Qingquan's face, it seems he is also incredibly shocked. As a good system, I quickly regained my composure and warned him.

[Host, don't forget to bow toward the Sect Master]

No matter what, bowing in gratitude is definitely the right move to use now. Cupping his fist, I see Ren Qingquan bow, toward the Sect Master. "Disciple Ren Qingquan thanks Sect Master."

"Good, good. Then, let me give the inauguration speech real quick." Sect Master nodded and said to the surrounding elders after having a thoughtful look as if pulling something from his long forgotten memory, "In this day blessed by heaven, our Pure Wave Sect has finally gathered together for the raise of yet another Senior Brother for our sect's juniors. With this position, I hope in the future.... "

When the Sect Master is giving his speech. I saw the other seven people behind him quickly reconnected their mental power.

"Ahh, the position of Senior Brother. It's been so long since I heard about that position." This word comes from the panda eyed man.

"As expected of the Sect Master, he has incredible quick thinking ability. The position of the sect's senior brother is just right. It sounds extremely important but actually only exists as an internal mascot. Even if that boy caused some problem, it shouldn't result in much chaos." This one is said by the woman with a runic dress as she nods her head several times.

What the heck? So that position is only an internal mascot?

While hearing their talk, Sect Master finally finished reciting the text from memory. "...So, I hope everyone present here will respect my decision and spread it to every disciple in the sect."

The surrounding elders bowed in salute as they all said at the same time, ""We will follow the Sect Master's will.""

After hearing the surrounding elders agree to him, the Sect Master said."Now, Ren Qingquan. You may return and prepare your luggage. Someone will pay you a visit later to guide you around your new residence."

"Disciple Ren Qingquan will take his leave."

With Ren Qingquan's bow, the sect master smiled. "mmhm."

I.. I think this counted as survived? As I am not too sure whether he is really safe, I just rewarded him with 1.000 points. It's definitely not because I am stingy. 

[Ding! Congratulation for completing Emergency Quest: Survive! 

You have been rewarded with 1.000 points]

***

Unlike how he entered the sect's main hall, Ren Qingquan needed to walk by himself to return. As the walk is quite boring, I just leave some of my attention to him to make sure he won't randomly die like a hamster. Meanwhile, I sent most of my attention to the meeting happening at the main hall through Elder Gu's [Scan].

When Ren Qingquan left, the Sect Master quickly looked at the surrounding elders. "Please remember that boy. He is a child of luck with a massive amount of luck. Make sure you don't offend him. Otherwise, I am afraid even our sect won't survive the calamity."

Then, Sect Master glared at some elder, "I know you bunch liked to abuse some of your power and I have maintained my eyes half closed for the sake of our sect's unity. But, this thing is a whole different matter altogether. If any of you dare to mess around, don't blame me if I use a heavy hand. No matter what, I am the Sect Master. Making sure the inheritance and prosperity of our sect continues is my duty!"

Including Elder Gu, I saw every elders nod with an extra solemn expression. Sect Master seems satisfied as he turns to look at the seven people standing nearby him."Then, let's get to the main topic. Which of you wishes to keep that kid as your junior?"

Hearing this question, the woman with a runic dress quickly spoke. "I suggest the Divination Peak. After all, Fengyun is the specialist at this whole Child of Luck thing. Anyway, as long as you don't choose my Weapon Refining peak, I will still call you senior brother. Otherwise, I will throw a massive tantrum right here, right now!"

The fat man followed. "I agree with my junior sister, Divination Peak is definitely the best place to keep him. Anyway, as long as it's not my Resource Department, it is okay!"

Then, the other five higher-ups followed suit. Hearing their words, I saw the Sect Master roll his eyes. "Alright, we will send that kid to Divination Peak."

Sect Master then turned his head and looked at the surrounding elders while focusing his eyes on elder Fengyun for a bit longer. "Well, all of you hear them, if you have any complaints, say it to them. Alright then, except for Fengyun, all of you may leave!"

As if remembering something, the Sect Master suddenly said to those elders. "Remember to hide your female disciple! Just force them to cultivate in seclusion, visit another sect, or whatever. Anyway don't let them roam around the sect!"

Once those elders, including Elder Gu left, I switched my attention to the [Scan] Ren Qingquan attached to Sect Master.

At this time, he is talking to Elder Fengyun. "I leave the matter with Ren Qingquan at your hand. You can do anything you deem fit, if you need any help, you can tell us anytime.'

After saying this, Sect Master pulled a palm sized thin stone with metal luster. On that stone, complicated engraving is written. Giving it to Elder Fengyun, he said. "This is the talisman left by one of our Void Unity stage grand elders. You can use it to deal a full power attack at Void Unity stage in case of emergency. I will also increase the budget for your Divination Peak for the next one hundred years in exchange for this mission."

"I thank Sect Master for your generosity. I definitely won't let down the Sect Master." Elder Fengyun left the main hall soon after receiving that talisman.

With the main hall returning to its original state with only eight people remaining, Sect Master covered the Heavenly Observation Mirror with a tablecloth. Once it was covered, he and the other seven higher-ups continued to sit around it and play mahjong in two groups.

With this, I guess Ren Qingquan's case finally concluded for now? Returning my attention to Ren Qingquan, I saw him still running toward his residence. Even with Agile Step active, the whole walk still took him almost half an hour.

He seriously needs to upgrade his magical techniques. Writing something to a new screen, I added it as a mission for him to do.

[A mission has been added.

Mission: Learn Magical Technique!

Detail: 0/10 Magical Technique learned.

Deadline: None.

Reward: One free chance to generate new magical techniques.

Punishment: None. ]

When Ren Qingquan saw there was no deadline for this mission, he decided to reach his residence first. Once he arrived, I saw him looking around and found out there is actually nothing he needs to collect because everything he has is already stored in [Storage].

Waiting for the person that will bring him to his new residence, I heard Ren Qingquan thinking. 'Let's rest for now. '

Pulling the library screen, he searched for a novel to read before laying on his bed. The wait lasted for a whole hour before he felt a knock coming from his residence's defensive formation.

"Wait a minute." closing the library panel, he released the defensive formation guarding his residence and opened the door. Through [Scan], I saw Elder Fengyun himself standing behind Ren Qingquan's door.

Still with his calm smile, Elder Fengyun greeted him. "We met again, junior brother Ren Qingquan."

Ren Qingquan quickly saluted. "Disciple Ren Qingquan greets Elder Fengyun."

Hearing his greeting, Elder Fengyun waved his hand. "There is no need to be so formal, you can just call me senior brother, from now on you will be staying at Divination Peak. I am here to guide you there and help you get used to the place."

Elder Fengyun then pulled a sword and controlled it using his mental power before asking Ren Qingquan a question. "Do you know any magical technique to fly?"

I saw Ren Qingquan shake his head upon hearing Elder Fengyun's question. Elder Fengyun too also saw his bitter look and smiled while pointing to his sword, "Hop on. I will bring you to the Divination Peak."

With this, Ren Qingquan jumped into the flying sword and both of them flew quickly at low altitude before rising into the sky. From Ren Qingquan's perspective, I saw the surrounding scenery rapidly flashing. Within less than ten minutes, both of them had already arrived at a pretty short peak.

Descending into that peak, Elder Fengyun gently controlled his sword to land several centimeters above the ground before jumping down. "Alright, we already arrived!"

Ren Qingquan followed suit and jumped down. Both of them started walking around the peak with Elder Fengyun in the lead while explaining things about the Peak. From Elder Fengyun's explanation, the Divination Peak can be concluded with one word.

Desolate.

Inside the whole peak there are only less than ten people. Even then, most of them are doing sect missions outside or recruiting disciples with talent and luck. So, at the current Divination peak, there is only Ren Qingquan and Elder Fengyun staying inside.

When he talked about this fact, Elder Fengyun said with a slightly sad voice. "The Divination Peak was only established several hundred years ago as a first warning for the sect against any kind of calamity. Which causes our foundation to be extremely lacking compared to other peaks and halls with thousands of years of history. Coupled with the special talent required to learn divination technique, it further limits the amount of discipline our peak can accept which results in the current situation."

After walking around for an hour, they finally reached their final destination, which is a cave surrounded by beautiful natural sceneries. Pointing at the cave, Elder Fengyun said. "Alright, this is our last destination. As you are given the position of Sect's Senior Brother which is equal in level to a Deacon, you have been awarded a Cave Abode equipped with a spirit gathering formation. The spiritual power inside is several time stronger than the outside world which will make you gain twice the result with half the effort while cultivating."

He then pulled a token and gave it to Ren Qingquan. "Here is the token for your Cave Abode, you can use your mental power to activate the Cave's formation. I have also prepared several sets of new clothes that show your status as the senior brother of our sect. It is placed inside your new Cave Abode."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fengyun." cupping his hand, Ren Qingquan thanked him.

"Don't sweat it." Waving his hand, Elder Fengyun then said. "I will take my leave."

Pulling his flying sword once again, he stepped on it. With a whoosh, he soon disappeared from the range of my [Scan]. With Elder Fengyun gone, Ren Qingquan entered his newly gained Cave Abode and looked around curiously.

I have already scanned the interior of that cave abode so I am not too interested. Except for the spirit gathering formation and defensive formation that is stronger than the one in his previous residence, and several sets of clothes Elder Fengyun mentioned before. There is only simple furniture like a bed, meditation cushion, small table, a cabinet, and other normal things needed in daily life.

Upon entering, I saw Ren Qingquan locked his sight to the bed. Walking toward it, I saw him slowly lay on the bed with a blissful face. From the sense he shared through [Anchor], I feel his super comfortable feeling. The mattress is incredibly soft yet firm. It directly hugged his back and aligned his back while decreasing the tension he felt from his joints due to the activity he did this whole day.

Wait, this is not a mattress commercial! Why am I even describing it in such detail? Anyway, Once Ren Qingquan lay on that bed, he got trapped by its comfort and was unwilling to move for a whole hour!

Him wasting time like this slightly annoys me. Especially with the comfortable face he makes on that ugly mug of his, I really wanna slap him. And that is exactly what I do. Of course as a reasonable system, I won't directly slap him. Instead, I sent him a mission with an extremely tight deadline.

[Emergency mission: Gather Points.

Details: Now you are in a safe(?) situation. Please gather more points in case of emergency!

Goal: gather 200.000 points.

Reward: 20.000 points.

Deadline: 30 days.

Punishment: 10 minute electric attack.]
