Chapter 139 - Upper World
Alex closes his eyes because of the dazzling light produced by the Array. When he felt he already arrived. Alex slowly opened his eyes. But, when he opened his eyes, he got surrounded by trees. He searched his surroundings for a bit. There is nothing noticeable, at least for now, this place is safe for him. He took two cards out of his inventory.
[Leoz (Thunder)
Level: 10/80 (Peak Qi-Manipulation Stage)
Exp: 8999/9000
HP: 3020
ATK: 50
DEF: 50]
[Anna (Dark)
Level: 10/80 (Peak Qi-Manipulation Stage)
Exp: 8999/9000
HP: 2760
ATK: 75
DEF: 46]
"Summon"
The two cards were glowing before two people appeared in front of him. They bowed to him.
"Young Master"
At first, back in Acacia, they wanted to kneel, but since it is awkward for him. He didn"t want it, and the same as when they chose how they are addressing him, Anna won"t budge about this. So they agreed to keep it only with a bow.
Alex looked at them, "What should we do after this…Master only told me in this world called Musee World, there are five continents. Willow Continent, Nilis Continent, Northern Continent, Sacred Continent, and Heavenly Continent. That makes a pentagon that surrounds a big sea in the middle of them. And my destination is the middle island in the middle of that vast ocean that only can be reached by the pa.s.sage in the Heavenly Continent.
According to Master, I will be transported either to Willow Continent or Nilis Continent. They are the weakest continents. If I am in Willow Continent, I can go to Heavenly Continent through Northern Continent. But if I am in Nilis Continent, I need to pa.s.s Sacred Continent. Well, I"m still too weak at present. So I need to get stronger first before I can go there."
"Young Master, I wanted to ask you something" Anna said solemnly.
"Oh…What is it?"
"Did Young Master want to make an organization or a faction?"
"Hmm…a good question" Alex pondered for a moment. "I have been pondering about this even before we ascended. I thought about making a mysterious organization. I don"t need it to be big since the member will be all of you. A small and mysterious organization that has many Martial Saints, Fufu…isn"t it good?"
"That"s still the story for later Young Master."
"I know. But since you asked me about faction, maybe I will join a sect or something. That way, I can camouflage the organization and let us have the time to grow. Well, I need to gather information first. After all, Master didn"t tell me about the power level here. Looked the dense of Spiritual Energy in here, If I was in here and cultivating, I"m sure in one year, I can reach Martial Master Stage."
"Young Master. I don"t know if you pretend to be a dunce, or you are stupid. But, you are special, especially your Pure Fire. For others, it might take the same amount of time you spend back in the lower world. I don"t mean to be rude. Even if the people in this world cultivate from young. I"m sure they are still in Martial Master Stage or Grand Master Stage if they are in your age, Young Master. So you are at least Average " Anna told him clearly. But she forgot that she mixed some of her memory in that information.
Alex was surprised by Anna"s reaction, "Is that so? Anna, why do you know about that?"
"Ah!" Anna looked around her desperately only to find Leoz smirked. She was annoyed, but the more pressing matter for her is Alex. "Young…Young Master, I can"t tell you. Even if you wanted to punish me, I still can"t tell you. I…"
Alex patted her head a few times. "It"s fine. All I know is that you are on my side, right?"
"Yes. I won"t betray Young Master for the rest of my life."
"Hmm, Now that I have set a big goal. Now to set up a few smaller goals. First, I need to get stronger. Second, I need more information. I will set up another goal after I got the information."
"Yes, Young Master. you are right" Anna said.
"Oh right, Young Master. I just remembered, Have you register your faction in your "System"?" Leoz said
"What do you mean?" Alex was confused. He is not bothered with Leoz knowing the existence of the system since he also came from it. He recalled that back then when he was checking the Summoning Ticket, System mentioned something about Faction. He opened the system and saw "Faction" in his panel. He opened it.
[Faction Name:
Effect: Your subordinate can also obtain Gacha Ticket and it will be transferred to your inventory]
[Register]
"F*CK!" Alex stood up and shouted. He immediately grabbed Leoz"s shoulder. "Why didn"t you tell me before! It can share the Gacha Ticket… I should be able to get many gacha tickets when you all leveling!"
"Don"t blame me, Young Master. I"m just a muscle brain. It is a miracle that I remembered about this. But Anna is different. She should remember about this, but it seems that she is not" Leoz trying to put the blame on Anna since Anna was always the one who will explain something to Alex if he asked.
Alex looked at Anna. Anna blushed and looked away. She had indeed forgotten about this, she immediately kneeling in front of him. "I"m sorry, Young Master. I have forgotten about this. Please punished me"
She stuttered. Looking at her, Alex didn"t have any energy to scold her and put all the blame onto "System". He sighed, and help Anna up. "It is not your fault. It is my fault. I should be more critical."
"Rather than that, we need to level up you first. I think I won"t summon Wright and the others for now. I"m not sure whether they are acceptable in this world. Especially Wright… won"t they suspect me as a Necromancer? That"s why I will only call you two for now. You two will be the one who will accompany me the longest. So It"s better to not mind about a small matter like that"
"Understood Young Master" Anna was in tears.
"Well, that is that. Now, what should we name our Faction? Well, since you two are spirit. Then, the name should be Spirit something."
"Young Master, how about Spirit Roses?" Anna suggested.
"It"s too feminine. It should be, Spirit Nest"
"Hmm, I agree with Leoz. Alright, let"s go with Spirit Nest"
He typed "Spirit Nest" in the Faction Name. Then he clicked "Register".
[Faction Name: Spirit Nest
Size: 0
Effect: Your subordinate can also obtain Gacha Ticket and it will be transferred to your inventory]
"Alright, time to add you two." He added Leoz and Anna. He also added the other spirits
[Faction Name: Spirit Nest
Size: 7
Effect: Your subordinate can also obtain Gacha Ticket and it will be transferred to your inventory]
"Now we are finished. It is Leveling time, I need you two to reach Martial Master Stage" Alex said
"Well, we only need one more monster since we have max our exp in the lower world." Leoz said.
"Leoz, searched for a monster."
"Understood" Leoz immediately went on his way.
"Young Master. Have you checked your own status? You have the status card from the lower world, right?" Anna asked him.
"Oh, now that you mention it" Alex took out his status card from the Lower World, he is wondering, what kind of status he had after ascending. But it betrayed his expectation
Name: Alexander Sirius
Job: Error
Rank: Error
Level: Error
STR: Error
AGI: Error
VIT: Error
DEX: Error
INT: Error
"I know it. I should never expect anything from this card" He unconsciously burned the status card to dust. Well, it was useless for him anyway. Anna keeps her mouth shut. It is better not saying anything in this situation.
Not long after, Leoz came back. "Young Master. I spot a few rank 9 monsters."
"It is Qi-Manipulation Stage Beast" Anna corrected him.
"Ahaha…habbit, and it is easier to say it that way."
"But, it will lead other people misunderstanding our word."
"Alright alright. Let"s go." They went toward the monsters. There are five Peak Qi-Manipulation Stage Tigers in front of them. Alex appeared in front of them.
"Roar" The tigers charged toward him.
Anna appeared from the right side, and Leoz appeared from the left side.
"Dark Cut"
"Thunder Fist"
The one in the left killed by Leoz"s Thunder Fist and the one in the right killed by Anna"s Dark Cut. This is only a low intelligence beast. So killing them with a surprise attack was easy for them. Alex kicked the other three.
Leoz and Anna killed two of them and the last one died in Alex"s hand.
[Gacha Ticket 1x Acquired]
Anna and Leoz body suddenly enveloped with light. They feel stronger after they were enveloped by this light. Alex looked at their cards.
[Leoz (Thunder)
Level: 11/80 (1-Star Martial Master Stage)
Exp: 6/10000
HP: 3600
ATK: 80
DEF: 75]
[Anna (Dark)
Level: 11/80 (1-Star Martial Master Stage)
Exp: 6/10000
HP: 3100
ATK: 90
DEF: 61]
There is a qualitative leap for their status. "System, there is no Tribulation for them?"
[No Host. It is the point of leveling up. You don"t need to use your standard in Cultivation.]
"…" Alex"s expression darkened. "System, can I also like them? I wanted to level up."
[No Host, you can"t]
"Tch"
But something also catches his eyes, when he saw
[Exp+100]
Alex was surprised, System said that he can"t level up, and he got exp just now. "System?"
[Host. When you register them in Faction. All of the exp will be shared to all faction members, including you. So if you killed a monster, that exp will be shared to them]
Alex immediately took out the rest spirit cards.
[Wright (Dark)
Level: 11/80
Exp: 16/10000
HP: 2100
ATK: 65
DEF: 35]
[Green Slime (Earth)
Level: 11/80
Exp: 16/10000
HP: 1300
ATK: 30
DEF: 30]
[Werewolf (Earth)
Level: 11/80
Exp: 16/10000
HP: 1900
ATK: 45
DEF: 22]
[Stallion (Fire)
Level: 11/80
Exp: 16/10000
HP: 1500
ATK: 30
DEF: 30]
[Minotaur (Thunder)
Level: 11/80
Exp: 16/10000
HP: 2300
ATK: 40
DEF: 15]
Alex pondered for a moment, he can power leveling them like this. But, if all those exp will be shared with seven of them. It will be hard to let them leveling together. He decided to remove the five, leaving Leoz and Anna alone in the Faction. Even though his heart pained a little, this is the most optimal solution for now. He can power leveling them later when he reached Martial Lord or Martial King. And it will be faster that way.
Not long after, the light that was enveloping Leoz and Anna disappeared. "Young Master"
"Now that you have reached Martial Master Stage, it"s time for Sherry to advance too. Let"s go search for a safe area."
After they reached a cave somewhere. Sherry went out of his body. "Wuu!"
Alex took out a few medicinal herbs for Sherry. "Sherry, time for a feast"
Sherry finished all of them in an instant. Just like Leoz and Anna, Sherry"s body was enveloped too, but with Fire. After eating the herbs, She fell asleep. It seems that she is not going to pa.s.s the tribulation too. Alex was so envious.
After waiting for two hours, Sherry still hasn"t wake up. Anna asked, "It seems we will need to wait for a longer time."
"Let"s wait for tomorrow. I still wanted to check quiet of things."
"Understood. Should we go back to the cards?"
Alex pondered for a moment. He didn"t have anything to do anyway. He already confirmed that his spirits can get Gacha Ticket from after putting them in the faction."It should be fine for now."
"System, anything new from you?"
[Mission: Successfully go to the Upper World (Complete)
Reward: Premium Gacha Ticket x5]
"Oh, there is something like this?" the system didn"t say anything. Instead, it only opened the special mission panel for him. He claimed the Premium Gacha Tickets. "That"s right. You have said that I can exchange the Normal Ticket with Premium Ticket, is it true?"
[Would Host update all the new things?]
"Is it going to take long?"
[Only 5 minutes, Host]
"Then, Update please"
[Processing]
After five minutes pa.s.sed. The system suddenly opened a new panel for him.
[Exchange]
[200 Ticket = 1 Premium Ticket]
"I remembered that you said it is 200 tickets to 1, but now that it became a reality. I somehow felt this is too black"
[The limit of Normal Ticket is Rare Rank Item, Host]
"Well, it is true. But, what is the rare rank item based on this world power?"
[Rare Rank Item is equal to your Cultivation Stage Host. In other words, now that you are a Martial Master, Most of the Rare Rank items are rank 2 weapon or equal. SR rank items are those on rank 3 and a small chance to get rank 4 items. And UR has a small chance to get rank 5 items.]
Alex was astonished. Rank 5 Items? The one that equals to Martial King? It is sure very attractive for a puny Martial Master like him. But before he goes there. "Is there anything more?"
[There is one more, System will give you a special Mission from time to time. Unlike when you are in the lower world. Your action will determine if System will give you the Mission or not]
"I somehow can understand that. But, If I got the mission, can I reject the mission you gave me?"
[You can Host]
"Is there any…" Before Alex even finished his words. The System already understood what he is going to ask next.
[There are no penalty Host! I am a System, Host. Whose System I am?]
"Mine"
[Yes. You are the one in control. Not me]
"I see. Thanks, System"
[Your welcome, Host]
