How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 67. A Tragic Collision In Mid air



Chapter 67. A Tragic Collision In Mid air

Pushing his body from the floor, Ren Qingquan rubbed his face several times.

Looking at the surroundings where a small crowd which almost blocked the passage between bookshelves has gathered. Ren Qingquan smiled sheepishly. "Hehe. Don't mind me, I am just testing a cultivation technique."

The surrounding crowd dispersed upon hearing his words. Some of them even muttered under their breath."Damn it, I thought there were some interesting sights like someone suddenly dying at the library. So, he is just trying a technique. What a waste of my time."

Ren Qingquan: ???

Ignoring the person that randomly cursed him to die, Ren Qingquan asked me to open his panel.'System, show me my personal panel.'

Note 3: Click on the skill's name for further explanation.]

After gaining knowledge about magical techniques, I decided to change how I show the list of magical techniques for Ren Qingquan.

The brackets mean the highest stage that technique can be practiced into without being upgraded or learning about the continuation. It's not like they can't be used anymore if the user's realm surpasses them. Instead, their power will just barely increase once the user surpasses that stage.

Looking at the skill with a weird name, Ren Qingquan asked me. 'System, what the hell is that skill? Which insane guy named a technique something like that!'

[Although the name is weird, the System thinks it is suitable for its function.]

Ren Qingquan curiously opened the explanation for 'Don't Peek At Me, Pervert!' Technique.

[Name: Don't Peek At Me, Pervert! (First Part)

Type: Stealth, Anti Divination, morph.

Function: Turn invisible, change shape, stop any attempt at peeking the user through divination.]

'Now that I see the effect, it is indeed suitable. Sigh, whatever, it's not like I am gonna shout the name of that technique anyway.'

By the way, while I was busy checking my condition previously. I not only keep my attention at Ren Qingquan, but also at the Sect Master and his group.

Just like what Ren Qingquan expected, those people blamed the whole 'suddenly fell into coma in the middle of a road' event to the oddities all children of luck have.

At this time, they are currently gossiping. "So, can anyone guess what he is doing?"

Sect master just shrugged. "Dunno, probably doing a child of luck thingy. You know how they often acted weirdly."

At this time, a female voice sounded as she steered the conversation away. "By the way, how long do you think my junior brother needs to enter secluded meditation this time? I still remember the last time I got affected by a child of luck's charm, that is really scary as it even twisted my taste in men! After all, there is no way I will be interested in a boy who is equal to my great great great grandson in terms of the mortal generation."

Once they spoke about the elder that is suspected to be affected by intelligence lowering aura, I cursed while ignoring whatever they are talking about right now.

Damn, I almost forgot the most important thing I must do. Sigh, I truly need to start taking notes of things.

Wait, that's it! A note! Writing a sentence on my illustory screen, I attached it to my field of vision.

From now on at the corner of my vision there is an additional glowing sentence written which read - If Ren Qingquan turns smarter than me, do self introspection!

It can't be called a foolproof plan as I don't even know how to escape the power of that intelligence lowering aura. But, this should be enough for me to guard against being affected too much. At least if I feel myself getting affected, I can rethink my decisions to make sure nothing goes wrong.

If only I was rich enough, I could just smash points into [Scan] and make it capable of dissecting the power of luck for me to research.

With everything prepared, I told Ren Qingquan to start moving.

[Host, let's leave the sect and start the plan!]

'Alright' Leaving the library's premises, Ren Qingquan ran midway through the sect's exit I previously marked.

After he reached an empty area, I feel Ren Qingquan circulated his qi following the Evanescent Movement Technique.

Once the technique is activated, Ren Qingquan's figure zips through the air at high speed while standing. He looks just like the player in Minecraft's creative mode.

From Sect Master's [Scan] I heard the surrounding people gasping upon seeing Ren Qingquan's flying speed through their mirror.

One of them said, "What kind of technique is that! His speed already reached a Soul Formation cultivator's maximum flight speed without using any technique!"

The fatty that is currently working as a battery replied. "Indeed. Also, where does he get such a powerful movement technique? I am sure there aren't any skills like that among the books he searched in the library before! Even for a child of luck, this is breaking the law of cultivation by too much."

Hearing their conversation, Sect Master who has finished his meditation joined. " Is it possible he actually created that technique himself?"

Old man Nine Sequence Talisman nodded. "What Sect Master said is indeed highly probable. So, should we increase his danger level once again? After all, the ability to create such a domineering technique means he has extremely powerful comprehension. A person with such a sharp mind is definitely dangerous!"

While those people argued among each other, Ren Qingquan suddenly screamed as he fell into the ground.

Hearing his scream, I saw everyone nearby the Sect Master stare into the Heavenly Sight Mirror at the same time.

Right now, a part of Ren Qingquan's initially clean robe has been tainted red with several feathers sticking on it.

Everyone watching : (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)

Looking at Ren Qingquan who is in pain after striking a bird while flying at high speed, one of them commented. "Umm, he doesn't look like a smart guy to me."

Should I say Ren Qingquan striking that bird as a lucky coincidence or an unlucky one? Although he seems to be in pain, that is merely an external injury that can be easily healed. Compared to decreasing the vigilance those people have on him, I think it is a win.

Well, it seems I am the only one who thinks so. As currently Ren Qingquan is repeatedly screaming while holding his crotch.

That's right, he frickin struck that bird with his crotch. Which is why he screamed as if there is no tomorrow.

Only after ten minutes of intelligible screaming does Ren Qingquan stand up.

[Host, from now on remember to activate your Armament Transformation V.2 as a windshield.]

As Ren Qingquan read my late warning, he glared at the screen. 'Why didn't you warn me at the start!'

[System also didn't expect this to happen.¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯]

Once Ren Qingquan felt better, he started to reactivate his movement technique.

This time, before he started circulating the Evanescent Movement Technique, Ren Qingquan activated his Armament Transformation and created a half dome shaped shield in front of him.

Quickly flying in a certain direction, he soon passes through the Pure Wave Sect's defensive formation.

Time quickly passed and the sun's warm light slowly disappeared through the horizon.

Even after flying for five hours until the sky darkens, I still see those people calmly peeking at Ren Qingquan through their mirror. The distance Ren Qingqun traveled at this time has reached a total of 400 kilometers.

From their calm expression, it looks like Ren Qingquan won't be able to leave the mirror's range anytime soon.

Sigh, guess that's it. I think it's better to make him start activating his stealth technique now.

[Host, System thinks you won't escape the range of their mirror anytime soon. So, System recommends you to activate the stealth technique.]

He replied as he flew in mid air. 'Alright.'

Soon, I sense Ren Qingquan circulating his spirit qi to activate the 'Don't Peek At Me, Pervert!' Technique.

Once that technique was activated, I sensed an energy fluctuation coming from Ren Qingquan. That fluctuation quickly turned stronger and greatly affected my [Scan] to the point where he is almost invisible on it.

Different from normal techniques that require the user to keep on circulating their spirit to be used. The 'Don't Peek At Me, Pervert' will be constantly active until the user wills it to stop. Even while sleeping or doing other chores, the technique will automatically circulate the user's spirit qi to achieve the result of stealth. Which is why I said the technique is exactly what Ren Qingquan needed.

At the same time as my [Scan] started losing sight of Ren Qingquan, I saw the Sect Master's surroundings turn silent as everyone stopped gossiping.

The one who breaks that silence is the fatty who worked as a battery for the Heavenly Sight Mirror. "It's definitely not my fault. I sent my spirit qi according to the guide."

"Sigh, it's not your fault. He most likely used a high leveled anti divination technique." Sect master replied before staring at the woman with the runic dress and the person who previously brought Ren Qingquan. Wearing a serious face, the Sect Master asked them to follow Ren Qingquan.

"Peak Master Xue and Peak Master Tumultuous Wave will look for him and observe the situation. Once you find Ren Qingquan, immediately contact us! Also, try not to be found out by him. Meanwhile everyone else prepares for an emergency at all times."

"Alright." When she heard Sect Master's serious tone, Peak Master Xue nodded and immediately jumped toward the sword Peak Master Tumultuous Wave had prepared.

Controlling his sword to fly, Peak Master Tumultuous Wave left the hall together with Peak Master Xue.

Seeing the speed they were moving, I hurriedly asked Ren Qingquan to change direction. Otherwise, they might catch up to him by tomorrow.

[Host, quickly change your direction. Also, don't stop at cities and hide in the forest instead. Some people from the sect are chasing after you!]

Ren Qingquan nodded and changed his flight path 45 degrees to the right.

After flying for another six hours, Ren Qingquan found a cliff to sleep on. Digging a hole using [Storage] by pulling and releasing the cliff's rock at another place, he placed his 2x2x2 meters metal house inside.

Walking inside the metal, Ren Qingquan approached the bed placed inside while saying. 'System, warn me if those people are approaching me.'

[Yes.]

While he is blissfully sleeping, Peak Master Xue and Tumultuous Wave are currently braving the cold night wind to reach the last location where they saw Ren Qingquan.
