2024-10-29 19:42:56Once Gu Lin Fang was done tidying himself up, He wanted to call for Gu Li Cheng to meet him in the study but ultimately changed his mind upon noticing Gong Shuren was awake despite being immobile.
At that moment, Gong Shuren, who was not aware of Gu Lin Fang's arrival, struggled to sit up.
It was then Gu Lin Fang made his presence known by stepping on the wounded man. His eyes devoid of emotion as they glowed ruby red in the dim study.
He cold says with a teasing grin, "That's right, struggle. Maybe You can die while you're at it, I'm in need of quality puppets after all!".
- Glug!
Gu Lin Fang smiled as he saw Gong Shuren swallow hard, "You really want to live huh".
"..."
'Hmm, I need him to tell me about the [Pan mansion].' Gu Lin Fang watched silently, watching every minute detail in his actions.
"Krr... what do you want?!!" he spat blood after uttering such words with difficulty.
Gu Lin Fang sneered and chose not to explain, He made up his mind to Con this man or something.
But immediately, time seemed to stop, no it looked like it stopped but was moving very slowly that one wouldn't notice.
Before he could get confused, wondering if it was one of those fate specific scenes again.
[Ding!]
[Monthly opening of the reputation store has been activated. Available only on the last weekend of the month]
[Notoriety points: 10]
Below these were a list of things he could afford with his 10 points which consisted of Traits and items that were available this week, below that were items that were grayed out.
° Idle healing: automatically heal your health points while out of combat. (+12 HP per). (3 points).

A maximum of four People or place has to be selected for activation. (10 points)
°Nerves of Steel (Trait): The ability to stay calm no matter the situation. Consumes Qi to remain active (10 points)
°...
There are many skills but not enough points.
'I see, today is Friday and it's 10 pm.
Is it safe to say that 10pm is the only time it would open each day till it stops?.
So many questions left unanswered...
Is this the same setting for players too?'.
While Gu Lin Fang was wondering on what to think, about a minute had passed and time was suddenly speeding up once again.
He quickly chose the trait that would be useful to him immediately.
[You have bought the trait {Sensing} for 5 Notoriety.]
Immediately, it was added to his list of Traits and he couldn't help but wonder, 'If I can add traits, can they be removed at some point?'.
° Sensing: Grants you a brief information on the target when used. (5 points).
Time began to flow normally once again as Gong Shuren continued to struggle under his feet.
He then proceeded to use sensing on Gong Shuren without hesitation.
_____________
[Pan yu Xing(Gong Shuren):
NPC qualifications: Blue Rank Boss {II}
Age : 25
Cultivation: 8th stage of Auroras Core realm
Affiliation: Member of the Fallen Pan clan, Blood blade sect's successor, Wu ming Hall Member (silver).
Reputation:Sealed Blade Gong Shuren {Gold II}
Summary: as a young man, Pan yu Xing lacked talent.
At the age of 16, He chanced upon a fortuitous encounter and ended up as the last remaining successor of the ancient blood blade sect.
Driven by ambition to prove to his father Pan yu lang that he wasn't a waste.
He chose to cultivate the arts of this demonic sect and left home to gain experience. Everyday was a battle for survival in order to temper his blood blade and it had remained that way over the years until three months ago when he offended Star Demon Hua Wu Que, a powerful demonic cultivator and the real person behind the Mu Bang (Tomb Gang).
It didn't take long for her to find out about his family, resulting in the massacre.]
_____________
This information alone, took a huge chunk from his Qi pool, hee tried going more in-depth with the information but something was hindering him. So Gu Lin Fang decided that he would try it on someone else to see if there'll be anything different.
'So many titles...' Gu Lin Fang was jealous of this mini Boss.
On the bright side, he now knew what to do. Looks like he's what you could refer to as a named NPC in the old games.
His amount of accumulated reputation and networks must have contributed in his Boss status.
'I guess I am in the right track, but this is unfair...' Gu Lin Fang thought while looking at the clan's page enviously, the purple gold avatar of Gu Mei Jie was so glaring in his eyes, 'She already a Boss at the Qi gathering realm.
She's probably a highly valued disciple or something.
Do I set her up against the Evil camp players or something?'
For now he decided to first Con Gong Shuren, no Pan yu Xing.
"Are you doing this for Pan yu lang?"Gu Lin Fang says out of nowhere.
Upon hearing his words, Gong Shuren's already pale face became even paler as he asked, "Who are you?!!!...Kuem!!"
He gnashed his teeth as he glared at Gu Lin Fang.
The latter lifted his feet and walked casually towards the his rosewood chair, He sat down and tried to set up the mood.
He looked up to his right while repeatedly tapping his armrest, he was trying to portray the image of someone trying to recollect a long forgotten memory.
"I'm guessing, you must be Pan yu Xing that left home all those years ago.
If that's the case, everything makes sense now...why else would you be there". Gu Lin Fang put a lot of effort to make the appropriate reactions, He really wants to know if he could gain reputation from taking in named characters.
What gave him this line of thought was his experience in his last life. When a well known gangster is successfully recruited by the Boss or underboss, it adds to their bragging rights and the amount fear they spread in his area.
Gu Lin Fang wanted to know if the system would acknowledge this method as well. It would also further prove to him if this was a game world made by humans.
And so he continued his monologue, much to the confusion of Gong Shuren.
"Qi gathering realm, Foundation establishment stage, Auroras Core realm, Nascent soul realm and the legendary soul separation no one has really seen.
In less than a decade, you got to the Auroras core realm from nothing, who dares say you lack talent.
What you did has proved them wrong, I'm sure my friend Pan yu lang would be very proud right now".
'This should be enough, leave the rest for his imagination', those were the words Gu Lin Fang told himself.
Indeed...
Although as a demon cultivator Gong Shuren was wired to doubt everything he hears, He couldn't help but hold a bit of hope for someone remotely connected to his father...
"this..." He was stunned and didn't know what to think, in the end he could only ask the question,"Who are you to my father?".
The tapping stopped and his hand hung in the air, ".."
"I don't know, I mean...I know we were allies for some reason but...
I can't remember what it was, a lot of my memories are missing since my seclusion.
I was forced awake and found my clan being attacked, because..." Gu Lin Fang stopped suddenly and looked at Gong Shuren curiously, or at least he faked the expression.
"what were you doing?" As he asked this question, Gu Lin Fang pulled out the scrolls he had picked at the site and couldn't help but read through briefly, "Bloodlines? Are you really trying to draw something like that out because it's your ancestral land?".
"..." Gong Shuren gritted his teeth saying, "I have arrived at my limit and..."
"I can bet you that it'd would never, something so obvious, many would have long tried before.
How could you fall for something like this?" Gu Lin Fang's words..

"how could you fall for something like that?"Gu Lin Fang's voice trailed off before sighing, "Doesn't matter anymore".He stood up and fed Pan yu Xing with a pill while thinking about something he saw at the basic combat page.It's stated that During combat, reaction of the character's HP and MP consumption is shown briefly as animations to the opponent or those next to them.This is even so, for the aboriginals of this world.If HP falls below 50%, the character gets cold with a pale expression, this shows that there's something wrong and if it falls below 30%, itgets cold sweats, below 15% brings weakness and below 5% you are unable to move a muscle.Meaning, below 5% and your under a bleeding debuff, you can only watch yourself die slowly.Same goes for Qi...If the MP falls below 50%, the characterget goosebumps,

He quickly asked the girl."You only want to check my progress incultivation?" Gu Linju asked speechlessly before pouting as she watched her old man'sExcited expression.She really couldn't connect him with a devil cultivator who would tread the skyRaining terror."Hmph father really doesn't trust me, your pills were really good, won't you at least trust your work?!"

Later that day, at exactly 1pm.At an inconspicuous looking rice shop, Gu Yu Xing could be seen walking in.His hair was long and black, nothing like the disheveled mess from before. He is a young man of about 5.8ft with a well toned body of a warrior, perfectly fitted with the signature black Gong Fu robe with a 'Gu' on its upper back.It was almost the same style with what Gu Lin Fang and Gu Lin Ju were wearing but was still different. Due to their bloodline, he had a kind of seductive charm like Gu Lin Fang that made him seem trustworthy.Upon entering the rice shop, the customers quietened down while the staff looked shocked."BOSS!!" The shopkeeper calls out and the customers went about their business.The shopkeeper was a thick looking young man with bronze colored skin, which made it obvious that he was an external cultivator(Body cultivator) and he was by no means

When all was said and done, Gu Lin Fang felt Li Cheng had enough preparation to finish the job."You know what to do?" He asked Li Cheng the third time as he was afraid the boy would forget once again."Yes Lord Uncle, I'm to wait at the storyteller's shop opposite the auction house with the puppet placed in position as a beggar and watch for the Kong clan's young Master before initiating any attack..." Gu Li Cheng spoke while fidgeting slightly.Hearing his words, Gu Lin Fang felt a vein threatening to pop as he glared at the fool, "who said anything about you being at the storyteller's shop?.I said, the puppet should be the only one there acting as a beggar right in front of the shop, you shouldn't be seen at all until it's time to retrieve the corpse puppet into your spatial ring.Definitely it will be chased but I'm sure you know what to do then".

Meanwhile, as the auction was in motion, some shadowy figures were on their way to what they called the [Underground Qi Routing Control room] beneath the Chang's property. this was the tool for supplying power to the hall.They silently eliminated anyone who saw them, but that didn't mean they happily carried out an indiscriminate mass murder."…the Qi Routing Control room." a hoarse voice broke the silence as it read out the words on the iron door.They could feel the Qi overflowing from the processed core could be felt from where they stood.Processed cores were artificial power source that was made to hold heaven and earth Qi in order to power the Airships, lit up the nights in certain areas of cities depending on the size.It was just as vital to human convenience as electricity to modern Earth, the downside was that, one can't use it to cultivate.<

The one in charge was Fatty Zhu, he was wearing a plain hat and a black round-neck robe.He sat at a table sipping some rice wine, looking at the strong coolie with what he thought was a smiling expression. "Those who steal or play tricks will have a part of their wages deducted, and those who work hard will get an extra bowl of rice for lunch...if you are caught more than once, you lose a finger." He yelled from time to time as he slurped his drink before smacking his lips.

Back within his pavilion, Gu Lin Fang watched as Xu Wu Qong suppressed his prisoners before forcing them into a wooden coffin that was brought over. Both Patriarchs were chained thoroughly and left to suffer through the burning effects of the poison in their system. "It's done, Lord Patriarch" 'Xu Wu Qong' says with a light smile. Unsurprisingly, Gu Lin Fang nodded briefly before asking, "what did you feel, seeing your family again?". "Disgust..." Such was the answer that came out without hesitation. Unable to hold back, Gu Lin Fang's laughter dripped with obvious sarcasm, "hahaha... Disgust?... hahaha". After settling down, he said, "why don't you get rid of such disgusting things, so you don't feel like that again?".

It called out desperately, until it noticed the figure looking out the window with his hands behind his back.This was Nangong Jiang, he looked at the source of the sound without much expression. With his cultivation, his divine sense could extend for several miles, and no cultivator could hide within the range of this divine sense. "who?" Nangong Jiang was very confident, with his own means, below the peak Nascent soul stage, no matter what means anyone uses to hide their aura and cultivation, he could at least get a glimpse.But he couldn't sense what those people in the bamboo forest were fighting, it was only when the bloodline condensa

Deeper North from Gu Lin Fang's location.In an undeveloped area that seems to have been improved slightly, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.A gorgeously dressed teenager was seated wretchedly on the ground as he tried to take deep breaths, right now he couldn't care less about his image, his face gloomy, his eyes glowing with cold light, and murderous intent flowed around him."over 13 miles! Stupid b*tch forced me to use my escape talisman! Just you wait!"This cream robed teen was obviously Sun Wu Tang, his voice was now hoarse, and couldn't help wondering why he had run a away so desperately in the first place."I don't understand why she hates me so much, I only said a few words, but that b*tch chased me for so long, f*ck I don't even know... wait, what if she comes again?!"."No I already called Deacon Du over...no!
