As the trio quicken their footsteps, they could sense the radiating warmth from the sun rays, the cooling breeze brush past their faces as they finally returned to the outside world.
What appeared before their eyes was a meadow, tall gra.s.s blades spiked to their waist level. Birds were perched on trees and maple leaves were spread unevenly across the ground.
Orange was the perfect colour than blended in with the environment. "It"s the season of Autumn." Nightin said as he held Phoenix"s hand.
Pulling her hand away, Phoenix asked "What are you going to about Charlotte then? She"s still waiting for you to fulfill your end of the promise."
Nightin stumbled and said "I love her but... I love you too..." The three magical words may seem simple, but it was conveyed through the deepest feelings he had.
Phoenix smiled and asked Nightin "Night, do you have a hairband?"
Scanning around his system inventory hoping to find one, he saw a black hairpin with an intricate design. It was an arrow piercing through an heart while twirling around it at the same time.
Taking it out from the system inventory, he turned around only to see Phoenix blus.h.i.+ng as she raised her head. Looking straight into her iridescent eyes, he just felt the resolve to protect he grow stronger as sparks flew in the air.
Lowering her head, Phoenix asked shyly "So... Did you find a hairband?"
"I didn"t find a hairband, but I have a hairpin if wouldn"t mind." Nightin replied as he pulled Phoenix into his embrace before she could react and ask "Nix, can I help you to put on the hairpin."
"Mhm, yea." Phoenix replied as she buried her face into the warm embrace so that she can hide from the embarra.s.sment. After Nightin was done, she said "Thanks Night."
Suddenly, the sound of rustling gra.s.s could be heard as Phoenix looked towards the direction and saw two rabbits playing around with each other.
"Hey look, there are two cute rabbits mating over there!" Phoenix exclaimed, tugging on Nightin"s sleeve as she jumped in joy and ask "Say... Can you get me those rabbits to keep as pets?"
Nightin observed those two rabbits and attempted to communicate with the system once again. He may have restricted himself from receiving the system"s a.s.sistance back in the lower realm, but things were of another level now. He had no background to contend against those geniuses, no strength to defend himself from even the weak, no authority to request or command for help in desperate times.
If you all think that having the best cultivation environment will benefit you greatly and help you stay ahead of your generation, then try surpa.s.sing me after the system is fully activated. We shall see, who has the last laugh!
The current Nightin had undergone a one hundred eighty degrees change in mindset, since being benevolent and merciful to his enemies would be placing himself in danger, then he shall crush down on those that attempt to harm him.
If his enemies ever opt for his loved ones and friends instead of targeting him directly, he would seek and pin them down to the ground and torture them in the most inhumane ways imaginable.
"System reactivating for version 3.0 to adapt to the current situation of not being a sect master!"
"New function: Complete data a.n.a.lysis!"
"New function: Merit shop!"
"System, what is the merit shop?" Nightin asked within his mind as he pretended to be observing the pair of rabbits.
"The merit shop is basically a mental shop in your mind where anything can be bought, the currency would be merit points which you can earn through various missions."
"As of right now, only the C grade merit shop will be opened. Higher grade merit shops will be accessible once host ranks up or the system goes through another period of updating."
"Alright then, open up the merit shop!"
Holographic screens with a mesmerising scarlet as the background and a sword made of roses, made it look like an perfect artwork which one can stare at for ages.
At the top right corner of the holographic screen, it shows...
Merit coins: 0
List of items: (more to be updated)
Health Vial: Instantly recovers the amount of blood and spirit energy for any cultivator below the Martial Saint realm. Price: 20 merit coins
King Smash pill: Instantly increases cultivation realm by one sub realm in the Martial King realm, but one would end up a cripple after consuming it unless they have a Saint rank body const.i.tution. Price: 1000 merit coins
Nine Mystic Swords (Combined version): The attack of each sword move can be combined together, bringing forth the speed of light and the power of destruction. 512 times of a cultivator attack power can be brought out when cultivated to the completion stage. Price : 1 star coin
"System, what"s a star coin?"
"A star coin is worth a million merit coins. There are only two methods to obtain star coins."
"Oh, what are the two ways?"
"The first would be to complete the missions given perfectly or even beyond perfection to get a star coin, do however take note that every mission for a star coin poses certain risks and losing of a life is a common sight."
"That... It definitely isn"t easy from the way you"re phrasing it."
"I have never mentioned that it"s easy."
"You are so human-like now, I wouldn"t even believe it if you weren"t my system."
"But still, what"s the second method?"
"The second method would be to complete near impossible achievements which the system has arranged based on difficulty for its host, such as getting you to kill a Martial Saint before reaching the Martial Emperor realm and many more."
"Alright thanks, how do I view the missions though?" Nightin asked as another holographic screen appeared before his eyes.
Its background was the colour of void and the silver line curving down from the middle, it makes the background much more appealing and the simple design, seemingly brought out its entire aura.
"Jade Crystal Rabbits have been detected!"
[Male Jade Crystal Rabbit: early stage Demon Lord realm]
[Female Jade Crystal Rabbit: half step Demon lord realm]
[Both Jade Crystal rabbits have a growth potential of the A rank]
"System, how is the ranking for the demon beasts categorised?"
[Demon beasts and items will be differentiated based on their growth potential and rarity respectively.]
"Hey Phoenix, how are you going to control those two jade rabbits and sign the contract with them?"
