Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu was wondering what option he should choose first. While he could guess what the 'scanner' function could do, he still wanted the first time to be special. He didn't know if this function had some sort of cool down or not, thus he wanted to be cautious.

'I can't trust this stupid system. What if it tells me that the cool down of using the function is like a year or something? Or what if it requires special resources and I can only do it once? This stupid system is broken I don't wanna bear the stupidity.' Lin Wu thought.

After deliberating over the choice and considering his current condition, Lin Wu determined that he should choose the human's corpse. After all, the human's corpse was most likely to have the most information rather than the boar corpse or the sword. The bones were not even considered by him as he already knew, or rather guessed what the system was going to say. He had eaten the creature that those bones belonged to, so of course, he would not want to ask more about it.

"I choose the human's corpse." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

The familiar notification chime sounded as a new window appeared in front of Lin Wu. This window was the widest of all the windows he had seen before and took up nearly seventy percent of his entire field of vision. There were separate sections that were clearly demarcated, making it easy for him to distinguish and observe.

In one section there was the target of the 'Scanner' function itself. The corpse was clearly displayed in this square section, and Lin Wu could even see the small labels that were marking the items that were on the body of the man. This included the clothes that he was wearing, the jewelry, the thin armor that he was wearing under his clothes, and a unique plate of pale green crystal that was hanging off of the man's waist band.

In another section, there was information pertaining to the targeted item itself, like its description of what it was and its features.

In the last section, there was information that seemed to have been derived and analyzed by the system. This information was not directly obtained and was the result of careful analysis and extrapolation of already obtained data that was present in the data banks. This data was compared to the targeted items data and the computational A.I. did a deep analysis of the said item. The A.I. would then simulate multiple scenarios and objectives, reaching the most optimum result for that specific level of data.

Lin Wu was rather surprised by the level of detail that was shown in this window and felt that this was something completely out of the world. Well, technically this was 'out of the world' indeed, in fact, he himself was out of the world if one could say in this scenario.

Having glossed over the sections, Lin Wu finally started reading it with full focus. The first section he read was the basic description of the target.

—————————————————————————————————

TARGET: Human corpse

NAME: Feng Luo

AGE: 55 years

CULTIVATION BASE: Late stage of the Qi refining realm

SPIRIT SENSE: Nil (Target deceased)

AFFILIATION: Rogue cultivator

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE: Mortal Qi refinement technique [Low-grade technique]

MARTIAL TECHNIQUES: 1. Basic sword arts [Non-ranked]

2. Peasant fist art [Non-ranked]

BLOODLINE: None

—————————————————————————————————

Lin Wu was a little surprised upon seeing that the corpse in front of him was actually a cultivator. Though he also thought that he should have expected this looking at the unique and peculiar attire of the said man and also the age that was mentioned in the section. While the age mentioned that the man was 55 years old, the appearance of the man said something otherwise. The man didn't look a day over 25 years of age.

'Damn, if this man died because of the boar, then how strong is the boar?'

'And what is this cultivation base? I can't understand it just by this, I need an explanation for the basics.'

'The cultivation technique seems fine, but does this mean I can use it or not? Also, what's up with the martial techniques, why do they sound so lame? Wait, oh yeah, this guy is a rogue cultivator, no wonder.' Lin Wu thought.

Lin Wu then looked at the section that was displaying the target itself. The section was a square box in which the image of the target was enlarged and was movable as if it was a 3D display. There were even special labels that marked the items that were on the target.

—————————————————————————————————

TARGET INVENTORY:

1. Common Cultivator Robes

2. Silver Jewelry [Bracelet and rings]

3. Inner Leather Armour

4. Communication Jade Slip (Data Node extracted)

(Select the specific item for more detailed information)

————————————————————————————————��

Lin Wu read the labels and was only interested in one item that was the communication Jade slip. It was the only item that had an additional label along with it, and it was something that pulled his interest.

—————————————————————————————————

LABEL: Communication Jade Slip

INFO: A basic communication jade slip used by cultivators for transmission of messages and information. Has the most basic transmission formation engraved on it. It can also store a limited amount of data.

CURRENT STATUS: Data node extracted

—————————————————————————————————

'So this was where this stupid system extracted one of the data nodes from. But if this is the first, then where is the second one?' Lin Wu wondered upon reading this.

Lin Wu had read enough cultivation novels to know what communication jade slips were. They were rather common in the cultivation worlds and were widely used the same way as cell phones. Though the thing that was more interesting for him was the data storage feature.

"Seems like this was the first data node that the system extracted and analyzed, seeing the time that was required for it to complete it. But still what was the second data node?" Lin Wu wondered.

Having finished with the first two sections, Lin Wu's attention went to the third and final section, which gave the derived information of the target. But when Lin Wu saw the first line, he was incredibly shocked.
