How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 16. Good Luck With Your Plan

After activating [Devour] using the sole of his feet because he don't want to touch the meat paste. Ren Qingquan could see his feet turned into something like a vacuum cleaner and suck the meat along with the surrounding air and soil. Due to the bear's size, he spent a total of eight minutes to suck everything while repeating the command to leave the heart in his mind.

Looking at the leftover heart that had been pierced and leaking blood, Ren Qingquan sent it into [Storage]. Devouring that bear increased his point balance by a whole 30 points.

Spending most of his points while leaving only 5 points in case of emergency, he proceeds to enter the cave behind that bear. Inside, Ren Qingquan could see a blue glowing flower inside that looked extremely precious. Scanning it due to curiosity, a system panel opened in front of him.

[Moonlight Glow Flower, devour for 2 points.]

'Something that is worth 2 whole points?'

Ren Qingquan stares wide eyed as this is the first time he has seen something worth two whole points. Because it seems to be precious, Ren Qingquan just stored it in system storage instead of devouring it.

Continuing his journey, Ren Qingquan ran until the sky completely darkened. This time, Ren Qingquan thought of a new idea and ran while activating [Devour] on the sole of his feet which sucked the surrounding soil and air. Which actually increased his total point by 2. During his journey, he also killed another two ferocious beasts because it is already quite far from the Martial Spirit Sect and so the amount of ferocious beasts increased.

When Ren Qingquan found a cave, he chose to camp there. Entering the cave, he started building the tent he has prepared, which is made out of six 2x2 meter metal with several small holes covered with metal net for air circulation while blocking insects inside the hole. Ren Qingquan then proceeded to lock the mechanism to make it stay in place.

He then continued to release his metal plate on the cave mouth to block it. Looking at his masterpiece, he proceeds to enter the metal box and pull the bed he stored in system storage. Feeling the surrounding solid metal, Ren Qingquan slept in peace.

Next morning, he drank some water stored in storage and ate his dried meat.

'Damn, this dried meat is so unappetizing.'

[Host, then why don't you buy a warm meal while at the sect?]

'Of course it is because a warm meal has a short shelf life and will go bad in two or three days within normal temperature.'

WAIT!

Ren Qingquan suddenly realized he forgot that [Storage] actually froze time for the item inside.

'I am so stupid.'

[It's good that you have self awareness, host.]

After some banter with the system, Ren Qingquan started to store his tent and weapon. Opening the system map, he continued to run eastward from the Martial Spirit Sect. In the afternoon, he felt the location was already far enough from the sect, and chose to start the plan of devouring a mountain.

Before that, he spent all his points to increase [Devour] once again. As the saying goes, sharpening his ax will make him cut trees faster. Actually he forgot the exact word but it should be something like that. Finally, he activated [Devour] that already has double the power toward a tree.

'Let's start with this tree'

And so, Ren Qingquan's journey to destroy Endless Mountain begins from a single tree.

***

The night when Ren Qingquan slept at a cave in the Endless Mountain

After separating from the Third Princess, Ren Qingchen started on his journey to look for a backer. He already has several suitable candidates in mind. But after disqualifying most of them, the peak master of medicine refining peak which doesn't have any disciple yet is the most suitable for him.

In his previous life, next year that peak master will hold a medicine refining competition that will be open for everyone. He does that for the sake of looking for a disciple to succeed him as he is already a 140 year old Martial Lord that has almost no hope to reach the Martial Emperor realm.

That competition caused some pretty big ruckus at that time which made Ren Qingchen have some recollection about it. But, as the people involved are limited to medicine refiner, the effect caused by changing that event wouldn't be too big.

There are several reasons Ren Qingchen chose the medicine refining peak master as his target. As previously said, he is looking for a disciple to succeed him which means the peak master doesn't have any disciple, which saves him time from doing intrigue against fellow disciples. Next, The status of the medicine 's peak master's successor is an extremely strong protective umbrella where even the Martial Emperor from the sect will come to help in case of danger. And last, Ren Qingchen is absolutely confident in his medicine refining technique as he previously achieved his peak by using medicine refining as one of his foundations.

But before that, he must find a way to at least meet that peak master and show his ability.

The next day, having determined his target. Ren Qingchen went to collect information about the medicine refining peak. Of course he doesn't just go to people and ask a specific question. Instead, just like a new disciple, he went to ask many things about the sect.

While purchasing a medicinal herb from an outer disciple that often works at a medicine refining area to help the inner disciple there, Ren Qingchen found the information he needed. Medicine peak master usually went to overlook the medicine peak's disciple's progress once a month.

That means, all Ren Qingchen needs is to increase his disciple rank from outer disciple to inner disciple quickly and select the medicine refining peak as his destination. Unlike outer and servant disciples that are gathered together in several mountain areas, inner disciples and above need to choose a certain peak as their destination. Because every peak has a different specialization, choosing a peak also means choosing their future profession.

After adding some detail to his plan, Ren Qingchen proceeded to enter the Martial Spirit Sect's mission hall. Taking missions related to gathering herbs and killing ferocious beasts, Ren Qingchen got permission to leave the sect. Due to the fact the Martial Spirit Sect exists as guardian of mankind against ferocious beasts, the Martial Spirit Sect's status advancement not only requires the disciple to have sufficient realm but also requires the disciple to kill enough ferocious beasts of the same realm. For outer disciple, they are required to kill 100 ferocious beasts at the martial master level. Beast of one realm lower will also increase the kill count by one fifth of a beast. Meanwhile, the beast of the higher realm will increase the amount of kills by at least 2 depending on the realm difference.

The kill count will increase when the sect's disciple brings the ferocious beast's heart to the exchange hall located next to the mission hall.

As he is already at the eighth stage of Martial Master realm and will soon break through to the ninth stage, Ren Qingchen just needs to focus on the requirement of killing 100 beasts.

Thinking until that point, Ren Qingchen went to purchase a bag, dried meat, several airtight containers to store ferocious beast hearts, jade box to store medicine, camping equipment, and several other items used to travel in the Endless Mountain, he spent most of his sect coins leaving behind only a dozen of them as emergency funds.

Arriving at the sect's gate, Ren Qingchen walked Southeast of the Martial Spirit Sect to start his journey of killing ferocious beasts and collecting herbs to help increase his realm faster.

Activating his movement technique that has been pushed to perfection, Ren Qingchen started running in one direction at full speed. His target is the border between the inner and outer area of Endless Mountain.

Although the Martial Spirit Sect is said to be located at the border of inner and outer Endless Mountain which is indeed true. But due to the sect founder's idea, instead of being clustered together like what others think. The Martial Spirit Sect is shaped like a super long line that started at the peripheral area of the Endless Mountain where the servant and outer disciple area he currently lives in is and ended at the central peak where the meeting hall and the sect's Martial Emperor together with their disciples reside which is located at the inner section of Endless Mountain.

While killing every ferocious beast he met during the journey, Ren Qingchen arrived at his destination after spending two whole days traveling. His target was to kill as many Martial Grandmaster ferocious beasts and return to the sect to focus on breaking through.

In Endless Mountain, the closer it is to the core area of the Endless Mountain not only will the highest level of ferocious beast increase. But, their average realm will also increase which will make the area between inner and outer section to have the most Martial Grandmaster beasts.

Not long after arriving, Ren Qingchen could already sense an early Martial Grandmaster level ferocious beast. Walking stealthily toward the beast, he stopped behind a tiger shaped beast. Activating his sword skill, with a sudden and silent leap he directly sashed the neck of that tiger directly killing it.

Arriving at the corpse, Ren Qingchen proceeded to dismantle it. Picking the important parts like fang, heart, and claw he just left everything else due to the limited weight he could carry without affecting his own movement.

With that, he continued on the journey to look for the next prey but even after two whole hours, Ren Qingchen still failed to see any ferocious beasts.

'Sigh, guess I will need to spend a long time here.'
