How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 79. A White, Poreless, Glowing, Freak Of Nature

While running away, Su Ping suddenly stood frozen nearby a banyan tree.

Under the thick canopy of the banyan tree, a beautiful woman lay unconscious. With traces of blood that can be seen on her pure white robes.

As if a fallen immortal, even while laying on the soil, her unblemished skin still has its own luster. This view gives off anyone who saw it the feeling of a beautiful white lotus that blossoms amidst a swamp.

Whether it is her body or facial features, everything is the masterpiece of heaven itself. The line of crimson blood below her trembling eyes doesn't decrease her beauty. Instead it increased her charm even further and made everyone wish to protect her.

She is basically the embodiment of Jade Beauties usually talked about in novels.

Even Ren Qingquan who observed her from far away is in awe of her beauty, as I sensed his mind turn blank before fear started to take over his mind.

Wait a moment, something is wrong! Why would he feel fear? Shouldn't he feel captivated instead?

[Host, what's wrong?]

'I.. it is glowing!' Ren Qingquan thought while pointing at the beauty who fell unconscious under the banyan tree.

With Ren Qingquan's answer, I focused my [Scan] on that woman. At first I didn't find anything weird, that is until I realized something.

She is laying under a wide banyan tree, and the surrounding trees also blocked most of the sun from reaching her. That means the luster she gives off doesn't come from the sun's reflection, instead it comes directly from her!

She is basically glowing!

Not only is that girl glowing. But once Su Ping arrived near her, I found out she actually has no body hair. Every part of her body is squeaky clean. Furthermore she is poreless! I am not exaggerating at all, she is literally poreless. There aren't any pores on her body!

I am sure cultivating won't cause someone to mutate and remove their pores. Even those elders and higher ups in the Pure Wave Sect still have their pores after reaching a higher realm of cultivation than her.

After all, the woman is only someone at the early stage of Foundation Building. Meanwhile those elders and other higher-ups of the Pure Wave Sect are at least a nascent soul expert.

At this point, even I can feel goosebumps rising on my nonexistent body.

She is a monster, a literal freak of nature! How did I even find her beautiful before?

After falling into panic for several seconds, I slowly calmed down and felt the situation a bit familiar. It feels slightly similar to the time when I realized Ren Qingquan's intelligence reducing aura is affecting me.

Does that mean the luck of a 'jade beauty' can make others ignore her weirdness and forcefully make others think she is beautiful. Just like how Ren Qingquan has the ability to forcefully make someone ignore their own stupidity?

Ain't this luck thing too darn overpowered?

Someone, please nerf it!

***

When Su Ping saw her, I saw him fall into a trance and purchased a recovery pill for Miss freak of natu- I mean, jade beauty before forcefully fed her the pill. Once the pill entered her mouth, it easily slid down her throat, and the medicine's efficacy immediately worked to heal some of the wound on her body.

From [Scan], I saw most of the efficacy of that pill went into Miss Jade Beauty's internal wound caused by disorderly energy that once invaded her body. Even then, a single pill is still not enough to entirely heal her internal wound.

Although Su Ping doesn't have the ability to see where the pill's power went to, he can see Miss Jade Beauty's initially pale complexion turn a bit rosy.

Once he saw it was actually effective, Su Ping purchased another pill and fed her. Before purchasing another one when he saw two pills weren't enough.

Only when the third recovery pill's medical effect takes place and heals her entire body does Miss Jade Beauty's eyelash tremble as it slowly opens, showing a beautiful pure black iris.

When she saw Su Ping, Miss Jade Beauty's face looked confused before she touched her body. Then she quickly closed her eyes and circulated her energy before touching the wounds that had healed.

Once she is done, I can faintly hear her mumble while sighing in relief. "My internal wound has healed. Luckily this won't delay my cultivation."

Finally she stared at Su Ping dead in the eyes and asked. "Are you the one who healed me?"

Su Ping nodded his head calmly. Then I heard a soft voice coming from Miss Jade Beauty. "Thank you very much."

When he saw Miss Jade Beauty seems to be easy to talk with, Su Ping curiously asked her. "How did you get injured?".

"I fought with several cultivators to obtain a treasure." She said this with a melancholic expression, before it slowly turned into a sad one as she sighed. "What a pity, I lost and missed that item. Furthermore, I got quite badly injured and lost my consciousness."

After telling her story, Mis Jade Beauty spoke. "By the way, my name is Bai Yushi from the Bai family. May I ask your name so I can repay your savings grace in the future."

"You can call me Su Ping." Su Ping introduced himself while awkwardly explained. "There is no need for you to repay me. I just suddenly got the urge to help you casually."

While those two are chatting as if they aren't being hunted by other cultivators. Ren Qingquan's heartbeats finally calmed down before he realized something.

'Wait a moment, this woman might be a child of luck!' He quickly activated his Turtle Divination Technique and stared under the banyan tree.

From the sense shared by Ren Qingquan, I saw the luck aura coming from those people.

Su Ping's luck aura is still the same as before. After losing his grandma in a necklace, It is now approximately 1.5 Young Master Gu in size. Meanwhile, the luck of Jade Beauty Bai Yushi actually reached 1.7 of Young Master Gu!

But that's not the end of it.

Under the earth surrounding that banyan tree, a vague aura of luck can be seen. Those luck spread evenly and seems to come from the same source.

That luck aura spread quite far, the furthest even almost reached the place Ren Qingquan stayed at. Which is 500 meters away from the banyan tree.

The addition of that luck aura make the view coming from Ren Qingquan's vision to turn into an extremely magical field of gold

Amidst his curiosity, Ren Qingquan activated Armament Transformation to create a gigantic crane machine and silently dig deep into the soil before pulling them.

Due to the invisibility effect of Don't Peek At Me, Pervert! Technique which he activated, even the sound Ren Qingquan should've generated from excavating the soil has been hidden.

On his makeshift crane, there are soils, rocks, branches, rotten leaves, and some plant roots. All which can be seen easily in the forest.

Except for those, there is also a thin white string spread amidst the soil. Which is the owner of this massive field of luck. The result of my [Scan] found it to be a fungus of some sort.

Ren Qingquan is also curious as I feel him activating [Scan] to check that fungi.

[Fungi. Devour for 0 energy]

When Ren Qingquan saw it, he frowned. After a minute passes, the fungi on his Armament Transformation slowly lost its golden glow and turn into a normal plant with almost zero luck.

'System, is it possible that all that luck comes from this white fungi thingy?' Ren Qingquan asked me a question while he refilled the hole caused by his Armament Transformation.

That's also the conclusion that I reach. Below this forest, there seems to be a group of fungi that have massive luck. As for how this group of fungi got its luck or how much luck it exactly has, even I am not too sure.

Unlike Su Ping, Young Master Gu, Bai Yushi, or other humans whose luck is condensed and whose amount can be measured through their size. This group of fungi's luck are spread until it is quite thin. In exchange, the size of its luck aura is incredibly wide. Which is the reason I am unsure how much luck it actually has. But I am sure it is at least 3 times as much as Young Master Gu's luck!

While I was in deep thought, Ren Qingquan suddenly asked me. 'System, what do you think about that freakish woman and this fungi. Do you think they'll turn into a suitable subsystem host?'

[System think Bai Yushi is definitely suitable as a subsystem host. As for this fungi, System isn't too sure. But host may attempt to give it one.]

To be honest I am not even sure whether this group of fungi have any intelligence to begin with, and whether or not they can use the system screen. But I've learned that the power of luck is extremely nonsensical.

With the amount of luck the fungi have. Who knows, it might actually be a genius with an IQ far beyond Ren Qingquan's.

'Alright then.' nodding his head, Ren Qingquan gave both Bai Yushi and the group of fungi a level 4 Subsystems each.

[You have granted 2 Lv 4 Subsystems. -2,222 points.]

Then I saw Ren Qingquan think about when is the right time to send a system screen for Miss Jade Beauty.

While Ren Qingquan is busy thinking. Su Ping has stopped talking with Bai Yushi due to a massive sound of explosion coming from the direction where Su Ping previously placed his trap.

Su Ping's face quickly changed as he finally remembered he is currently being chased.

Soon, many people in black robes arrived and surrounded the area. The amount of black robed cultivator has decreased than before. But in exchange their average level has increased.

From the initial two Foundation Building stage cultivators, there are now 5 Foundation Building stage cultivators. Luckily two of them are injured, with one losing a limb and basically can't enter into combat. while the other one is on the verge of death with a heavy burn wound on his body.

But it still left three Foundation Building stage cultivators and a dozen of Qi Refining stage cultivators who surrounded Su Ping.

Jade Beauty Bai Yushi saw those people seem to target Su Ping for some reason and decided to help. "The medicine you used on me must've been quite precious. In exchange, let me help you escape from those people."

Once she said that, I could feel her circulate her energy and activate a magical technique. From how most of the spirit qi went into her leg, that technique is most likely a movement technique.

After the technique activated, she pulled at Su Ping with lightning speed and left the area like mirages. Her high agility makes her easily bypass the blockade created by those black robed men.

Some of them attempted to attack her. But she easily parried their attack and even successfully killed one of the people with black robe by using a magical technique.

This shows that although there are also cultivators at Foundation Building stage among those people, Bai Yushi have much stronger attainment in magical technique compared to them.

From the data I collected, leapfrog battle in the Qi Refining to Golden Core stage is actually quite easy to do. Especially when one side has extremely powerful treasures and weapons.

Just like how Ren Qingquan can one hit kill every enemy at Golden Core stage and below thanks to this great me.

While being carried, Su Ping isn't just idle. He purchased another escape talisman and tore it to boost Bai Yushi's speed. Her already high speed increased even further and both of them successfully ditched those people wearing black robes.

After they were quite far away, Su Ping still continued to check the system shop and look for suitable items that could change the direction of their battle.
