Chapter 28 - Quest?

ANALYZING: Please wait a minute.
————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu kept on watching the area with a slightly nervous expression as he did not know what kind of situation he was in right now. He was wondering if it could be dangerous for him, or perhaps if this situation would trap him in here.
The lack of information was only making him slightly fearful, but he didn't know why. This was a new change he was observing in himself, and from what he could remember from his past life, he certainly did not have this kind of aspect in his personality before.
'Is this due to the soul damage… or something else?' Lin Wu thought to himself as he waited for the system to respond.

ANALYSIS: Completed
UPDATING DATA BANKS: New data obtained.
OBTAINED NEW PARAMETERS: Recalculating.
NOTIFICATION: Similarity between current environmental components and the host's physique is 50%
————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu was a little astounded at the system's information as he could not understand what it meant.
"System, what does this mean? What is the relation between my physique and this environment?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The crystal that was absorbed by the host and made a part of his bloodline was similar in composition to the components in this environment. These components include the particulate matter suspended in the air, the gases, and also the solid components scattered across the land.
The rocks that the host can see in the distance are related to the crystal that the host absorbed. From the analysis, the system has come to the conclusion that it is likely that all of these have come from a common meteorite.
While the crystal has radioactive properties, they are contained within and are not spreading. The other components of the meteor though spread all around the area when it crashed here and is the cause for the toxic fumes and radioactivity.
————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu read the entire window carefully, ensuring that he understood everything. Once he was done, he thought about it for a bit.
'Hmm, it makes sense. The explosion that happened was the meteorite crashing and it debris along with it. If that is true, then the crystal was likely to be at the very center of it, if it survived without breaking apart.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Having understood more about the current situation he felt a little better, but he was still confused about the broken weapons and the devastation in the area. He had seen the area before he went to the crater, but it was not like this. While it was quite messy, it was still not to this extent. The current scene while not too recent did not look that old either.
"System, why are there so many broken weapons here and why is the area different?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: According to the system's analysis, the area has been affected due to a battle. For more detailed information, the host will need to scan the relevant items.
————————————————————————————————
'Alright, let's try that. It's better to be sure, I don't want to make a mistake just because I lacked information.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"System, scan this broken spear." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
SCANNER FUNCTION: Activated.
SCANNING: Please wait a moment.
SCANNING COMPLETED: New Data obtained, please see it in the relevant window.
————————————————————————————————
As Lin Wu finished reading the notifications, a new window popped up in front of him. The window showed him the figure of the broken figure and its information.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
TARGET: Broken spear
INFO: According to the data banks, the broken spear is a mid-grade spirit weapon. The motif on the spear tip belongs to that of the Royal family of the Ling Kingdom, denoting that it belonged to a person from there.
CURRENT STATUS: Heavily damaged.
COMPOSITION: Common spirit steel, Spirit stone dust (low grade), One hundred year old peach wood.
FORMATION ARRAY: Basic reinforcement formation array. (Partially damaged)
NOTE: Repair possible
————————————————————————————————
Upon reading the notification window, Lin Wu was rather surprised as he had not expected to get so much information and some parts of it particularly interested him.
"Why would someone from the royal family be here? I mean they should be pretty important if they came here, right? This seems suspicious." Lin Wu muttered to him.
Just as Lin Wu was thinking more about it, another notification appeared in front of him.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
SUGGESTION: The host should collect more information by scanning more objects. The system has also detected the remains of some cultivators in the range.
————————————————————————————————
"Remains?! Wait, so this means that a fight between cultivators happened here. But what could be the reason?" Lin Wu said as he looked around, and then his vision settled on a large rock in the distance.
'Could it be because of those rocks, were they here for the meteor itself?' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He then thought of what he could do and decided to do what the system had said.
"System, mark all objects of interest on the map." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
MARKING: Performing secondary scan for accuracy.
NOTIFICATION: Eight objects of interest found.
————————————————————————————————
The map window appeared in front of Lin Wu and he could see eight new markers placed on it. They were all in different locations and seemed to be irregularly distributed. Three of them were to the north of his direction and were the closest. Two of them were to the west and two were to the east. Finally, one was at the south of his direction and was the farthest out of all the eight.
But just as Lin Mu finished observing the map window another notification appeared.
~Ding~
————————————————————————————————
QUEST ISSUED: Scan and obtain the eight marked objects.
REWARD: Data bank update.
————————————————————————————————
"Oh, a quest finally appeared. Looks like what the system said about exploration was true, exploring will give me new quests." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
'Alright, let's go to the three markers that are the closest to me. To the north, it is then.' Lin Wu thought to himself before moving towards it.
