"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%, it
gets 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 character
get goosebumps, and if it falls below
30%, the heart feels tight, you are uncomfortable, below 15% slight dizziness kicks in but you are still in the clear.
Below 5% leaves you vulnerable to different kinds of status debuff.
You can just say that, If each number falls below 10%, there
will be more violent symptoms.
Gu Lin Fang couldn't help thinking of his outburst the other day with the [Broken] trait.
As he watched Pan yu Xing's body heal, he returned to his seat while thinking, 'Each one, Hp or Mp should be kept at least 30
percent or more.
If I am out of the mansion,
HP should kept over 50%!.
Avoid any damage with impaling effect, like the one I gave Pan yu Xing earlier today.
I need to find out more about the world's defensive gear style.
I need to remember these details in my daily life...' First, he will do his best to do what he
can now!.
_______
8 minutes later, Pan yu Xing was almost completely healed when a greenish glows hovered over his skin.
When he checked, he noticed it was an effect from the [Villain's fortune].
"that's new..." He absentmindedly looked at the status effect and found out that this was what I could see when someone was recruitable or a property of great importance for the plans I was thinking of, is good, or an ambush location with a low rate of success for a particular target would show red.
For example, Gu Lin Fang planned to recruit Pan yu Xing earlier and then it glowed green, meaning he could proceed with confidence.
'No wonder, the trait was rated as unique!. But what if I run into someone with something [Hero's fortune or something]' Gu Lin Fang mused with a grin, obviously excited by the new development.
________
"Ku hum!!" Pan yu Xing suddenly coughed up blood before wiping his lips with his clothes.
He stood up with slight difficulty as Gu Lin Fang offered him a seat, "young man, I don't know why you got his stubbornness...sit".
Obviously, Gu Lin Fang wasn't familiar with Pan yu Xing's father, which is why he just said 'his' In a vague manner.
Pan yu Xing was silent, no one knew what he was thinking.
Bang!
The copper coffin dropped heavily beside the table, both parties were staring at each other and no one flinched.
"what are you going to do now that you know that it won't work?" Gu Lin Fang asked calmly and drank the last drop of tea in his cup.
"..." Pan yu Xing looked lost, a minute later he finally says, "I.... don't know".
"Ok, I see what the problem is but...
What if I told you that, I can give you that which you seek?" Pan yu Xing raised his head in shock.
"Yes, bloodline!"
"..."
"I could give it to you, all you need to do is ask" Gu Lin Fang's expression was one of provocation but he didn't care, if he wasn't this way, it would only make Pan yu Xing more suspicious.
"What's the catch?" A frown was plastered across his face, Pan yu Xing weighed his options and felt like this was the only place he could get a bloodline without offending the ruling families.
His mind was in turmoil as he was shaken inwardly, 'If my suspicion is correct, then his bloodline isn't low...
What I don't understand is why, he would go as far as harming his foundation...
He must be a mad man, someone even crazier than me!!'.
Gu Lin Fang's eyes shined in delight, like he had been waiting for this question. It glowed bright red in the dim lit study as he uttered the words, "You!".
Seeing Pan yu Xing's weird gaze, He explained, "I will give you My blood of origin under two conditions.
Serve me and join my family, change your name from Pan to Gu.
That way you would have nothing to fear from that woman until you are ready".
Silence lingered in the air, Pan yu Xing wasn't surprised, in fact He was relieved.
He stood up from his seat and went down on one knee, "I, Pan yu Xing pledge allegiance to you, Lord Gu and Gu clan, to serve and to cherish..."
As he continued to pledge, time slowed down again, but it was different from earlier. It looked like when...
[Ding!]
[You have gotten to a point, where you have to make a decision for a fate linked scene...]
[A. I accept your allegiance! from this day, you shall be known as Gu Yu Xing. Reward : +15 individual Notoriety point]
[B. On behalf of the clan, I accept you!! Reward: +4 clan Notoriety points.]
'So much points?'
Without much hesitation, he chose the first option. After all, he needed to earn his Boss status as soon as possible. Although he doesn't know the benefits of the clan's reputation being high, he'd rather not gamble with his life.
Immediately he made his choice, Gu Lin Fang lost control of his body and it's aura became more domineering.
"I accept your allegiance! from this day, you shall be known as Gu Yu Xing", he pulled out a knife from god knows where and slit his palm.
This surprised Gu Lin Fang, as he poured some blood into his tea cup. Gu Lin Fang once again gained control but didn't stop the action.
His expression was now very serious as he thought about what just happened, 'I don't like it... but...'
Soon his palm began healing, so he pushed the cup towards the young man for him to drink.
Pan yu Xing, now name Gu Yu Xing drank it after a moment of hesitation.
[Ding!]
[+15 Notoriety]
While Gu Lin Fang eyed the notification, a slider popped up.
[Please select the percentage. At which your primary bloodline should be distributed.]
He then adjusted the slider to 80% before going to the clan page.
Gu Yu Xing collapsed abruptly and went into what looked like a seizure, but Gu Lin Fang didn't have any reaction at all. He stared at the clan page and was bewildered.
Unlike servants and guests, Gu Yu Xing became a separate line branching out of the Lin family line. If he should translate it differently, he could call Gu Yu Xing, his Bastard son and alchemists who do such tests wouldn't doubt him.
"Why? Why is it so different? Because he's a Boss character?"He looked at the page again and noticed the golden halo around the Gu Yu Xing's avatar.
He couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the twitching Gu Yu Xing.
[Ding]
[Your Reputation has increased]
[Iron rank V ----->> Bronze
IV]
"It worked?, It really shot up!" Gu Lin Fang says excitedly.

Somewhere in the slums,
Inside of a run down house, was a tall man with a long grey beard.
His shoulder length white hair gently cascaded over his broad shoulders.
His towering back proudly stood like an immovable mountain, and his muscles, which despite his age, seemed to show no sign of aging as hidden within them was a boundless power.
If Gu Lin Fang was here, he would know him. Gu ji Hung, a cousin in charge of the Gu clan's disciplinary hall.
He was older than Gu Lin Fang by 8 years, making him a hundred and one this year.
As a loyalist, he couldn't stand the condition of their clan after this incident. Stuck at the peak of the Auroras Core realm for a decade, he didn't dare attack the nascent soul realm before.
Now he wished to make sure his body was in top shape before attempting to challenge the Nascent soul realm once again.
Standing shirtless with only a set of long worn-out brown pants and a broadsword his hands, he began tempering his body.
Gripping onto the broadsword with his two hands, Gu ji Hung's muscles bulged. green veins continuously wiggled as his back expanded casting a large shadow over the area in front of him.
Kwaiin!!
A pale blue Qi sliced through the air and moved forward for 8 meters, leaving a large gash on the ground.
He performed some other moves, disrupting the air in his surroundings.
Wooowooosh!!
This went on for 5 whole minutes before he took a deep breath and stopped.
"What is it?" He suddenly says.
A young man of eighteen years came forward and said, "we heard some news"
Gu ji Hung was pleasantly surprised, he looked at the boy with shining eyes and said "well?go on!! Go on!!".
Clearing his throat, the boy says "someone going by Patriarch Gu would be auctioning something incredible tomorrow!".
"Preposterous!!" Gu ji Hung was livid, "good good good, I'll see who has the Guts!!".
Warning: Fellow Daoist, this chapter will have another info dump, please be prepared...After finishing up with Gu Yu Xing, Gu Lin Fang had a servant lead him to a room to rest before continuing to study the system and other tutorials.It was already daybreak by the time he began rounding up with his study."there's just too many complicated things, I'm afraid if I was a player I would already frustrated.Too bad my life depends on learning everything learnable about the system and the world itself.Well, on another note, I doubt the players would have such a comprehensive system and privileges." He spoke softly while swiping the transparent screen.Now he has an in depth knowledge on reputation and could now develope an elaborate plan.This game world was set in a peri
Back in the Gu clan's study.Gu Lin Fang's face was filled with smiles as he thought, ' good I can finally go and finish my Zombie puppet.Wait!, What if she only has a problem with her cultivation and...'."Ju'er, How's your progress?!" 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?!" She spoke with a displeased tone."... this" Gu Lin Fang was dazed, 'I really wouldn't know, I really haven't made a single pill in my two lives.More than that, did she suddenly become whiny?'
Gulp!Gu Li Cheng swallowed hard and his brain finally clicked with understanding.'How did uncle become so young?, how did Lin ju'er suddenly breakthrough to the foundation establishment realm like the young stars of those great clans, despite being at a young age?.They became demon cultivators!, Do they want me to join them as family?... I'm very sure uncle might kill me right now, should I'His eyes dilated and he became visibly pale, He tried thinking of what to do but nothing came up."What are you thinking? Brother Li Cheng... Father your scaring him!" Gu Linju finally chose to diffuse the situation.Gu Lin Fang's eyes shined with delight, impressed he thought silently 'Good save!' while looking at the girl from the side.He quickly withdrew the pressure and walked down the stairs.Gu Linju then asked Li
Gu Lin Fang busied himself with the Corpse while explaining a few things to Gu LinJu. It was at this point, however, that something came falling down the stairs with yelp.This attracted the attention of the father - daughter duo as they stared at the fallen Gu Li Cheng with deadpan expressions.Gu Yu Xing's voice came from above the stairs as he greeted with a small bow, "Lord Uncle".Gu Lin Ju and Gu Li Cheng were taken aback by this development.Gu Lin Fang on the other hand was pleased with himself, 'that's it right there, a mini Gold Boss is bowing to me willingly...'"Ah yes, Yu Xing, you've come.I believe you are already aware of the auction tonight, what do you think?" Gu Lin Fang glanced lightly at Gu Li Cheng, he held his waist in pain but forced a smile upon noticing his uncle's glance.Gu Yu Xing, formerly known as Pan yu Xin
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.<
As soon as Gu Lin Fang recovered he checked on Gu Lin Ju and saw she was fine.'things can't just end this simply but the effect of the formation is still active...' as he was lost in thought and began making up plans, His Qi resource bar recovered and the chains over them disappeared.When he intended to take a step, Time slowed down until it froze[Ding!][You have gotten to a point, where you have to make a decision for a fate linked scene...][A. Impudent!! You dare!!. Reward : +25 individual Notoriety point, Body count converter][B. ... Reward: +1 individual Notoriety points.]Gu Lin Fang didn't need to think as he couldn't just stay silent as the second option suggests, that would deprive him from going further with his plans.But he was rendered speechless by what happened next because of his choice...
It was already three days later since the Patriarch of the Bai Family came around.Things once again regained it's calm. The bustling streets of Iron Crow City was filled with people from different works of life and some oxcarts carrying heavy goods slowly drive through the noisy streets to an alleyway not too far from the Gu family's [Broken Blade Rice Shop].As the oxcarts stopped in Front of a newly emptied warehouse, the hired coolies that followed the oxcart began to move the goods into the warehouse. 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.
At this time, it was already close to midnight and after the events that happened during the day before, the sensation didn't stop, it was like someone was going out of his or her way to spread rumors of what happened in the Alliance gathering.In an instant, the entire Iron crow city was boiling with gossip!Gu Lin Fang and Nangong Jiang became the two most popular people in the entire Iron crow city within a few hours!At this time, Iron crow city!At this time, the cultivators in the major restaurants drank wildly.Everyone scrambled to say that they knew about the battle of falling cloud slope."Have you heard? In the battle in falling cloud slope, the young lady of the Gu family had a showdown!""Nonsense! Who hasn't heard in the entire Iron crow city?""It turns out that the young lady, who is now known as one of the top young beauties in the city was actually so powerful!"."I heard she's actually a foundation building cultivator!"."That's right!"."Maybe, who do think is more
Wuli Town, a town living under the jurisdiction of the Glistening Snow Palace, it was surrounded by different satellite villages, for example, Lihe village.Lihe Village, LuoZun Barren Mountain.Two streamers containing cyan shimmering light ran out from the void.The streamer dissipated, and two women in cyan clothes and gauze skirts appeared at the foot of the mountain and looked up at this barren mountain.On the barren mountain, there is a ruined ancient temple.In this vast and vast barren mountain, the temple looks very small, like a gust of wind, it can be blown to pieces.It was suddenly at this point that the middle aged woman amongst the two spoke, "this place is where the ancestor of our Glacial peak stays in retreat".Moreover, looking at this place, it is so dilapidated, it doesn't look like a place of enlightenment in the younger girl's imagination at all."Is the ancestor really in such a place? "The younger girl of about 15-16 years old with immortal temperament frow
While the situation on the other side continued, Gu Lin Fang now knew the reason why Xin Xing and Lin Huang came to 'see' him."It's not hard to help you with your problem but..."there was a short pause in his sentence as he alternated his gaze between the two villainous characters in front of him "why should I help you?"."This..." Xin Xing was puzzled but couldn't say a word, after some thought, she turned to Lin Huang and was speechless. Aside from Lin Huang's eyes, everything else was already wooden, his eyes seemed to scream in desperation and was ready to agree to anything at this point.At first he had only been searching for Gu Lin Fang with a watch and see attitude, as he was silently coming to terms with his impending fate. But Now things were different, Gu Lin Fang's words reignited his hunger for survival!.He wasn't worried about the condition stated by Gu Lin Fang, in fact, if there were no conditions, he would have been more afraid. Besides, Xin Xing was by his side, ev
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?". "If it's your wish" Gu Lin Fang chose not to respond and tried making connection with his shadow guard "It's about time"____________ Meanwhile, In the distance, Xin Xing and Lin Huang were watching the appearance of the Gu family mansion, but couldn't help mar
Back in the study, Nangong Jiang was furious!Boom!!He smacked his table in anger, 'Nothing went as planned!!'At this time, the light green robed Shen Cao Tei rushed into the study in a disheveled manner."My Lord!"Upon hearing this sound, Nangong Jiang squinted at the young man dangerously.Shen Cao Tei shivered like a willow leaf, feeling cold sweat on his back, he fell on his back with so much force that anyone could hear his bones creaking loudly, "Master, this little one didn't say a word to him, I ne..."Without letting Shen Cao Tei finish, Nangong Jiang snorted dismissively while saying, "Hmph, I know, you don't have the guts".He looked at the brocade box for a second before adding, "But It seems we have a rat in my City Lord mansion, prepare to head back""Yes!"&n
Sometime ago, in a study, just above the faction meeting ground.Boom!!A mild explosion could be heard accompanied with a loud roar that resounded all the way from the other side of the lake!.At this time, a figure in light green robes rushed into the study in a disheveled manner."City Lord!!" 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
"Clean up the place" Gu Lin Fang ordered calmly as he walked back to the main carriage.Jiang Qin ordered Gu Qin Feng to gather the horses with some NPCs.While everyone was busy, Gu Ji Wan walked towards Gu Lin Fang, "The Young Master and Young Miss are yet to return, do we need to send people to search for them or do I go personally?".Gu Lin Fang looked at him calmly before looking at the clan page he had been staring at for a few minutes now, Gu Lin Ju's health and Qi bars had stopped fluctuating and was slowly recovering at a calm pace, there were no problems with Gu Yu Xing either.To be sure, he actively triggered the [Situational awareness] trait and found that they weren't far from the group, Gu Lin Ju was even sleeping, "They'll be here shortly".Gu Ji Wan didn't know how Gu Lin Fang was so sure but he chose to wait and see for now, he bowed slightly and wit
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! Wait! what if he's late?.
