Unlimited Skill Points System

C22 – The Village Chief’s Thoughts

“This system is outrageous!” Jiaang Lin thought to himself.

Suddenly, a system beep echoed in his mind:

Warning!

Host, you must not question the system!

Otherwise.

I will kill you.

“Kill!”

The moment the chilling beep resonated within Jiaang Lin’s mind, he felt his soul quiver, followed by a bone-deep coldness.

Instantly, Jiaang Lin was drenched in a cold sweat!

He had never imagined that the system could possess a lethal function!

If he misspoke, he might very well be erased by the system. How then could he aspire to be the number one in the world, or even across all planes?

Novice Growth Gift Pack, would you like to open it now?

Yes.

No.

The system beep rang out once more. This time, Jiaang Lin didn’t dare delay and promptly responded:

“No!”

“Immortal Master!”

Out of nowhere, a chorus of high-pitched shouts rang out. Jiaang Lin turned toward the source of the noise and saw the old village chief leading a throng of villagers!

The old village chief had awakened from his unconscious state, looking rejuvenated and his face aglow. Yet, his gaze towards Jiaang Lin was still brimming with profound reverence!

In his moment of bewilderment, the old village chief actually knelt before him!

The villagers followed suit, some even ready to prostrate themselves!

“Thank you, Immortal Master, for protecting North Mountain Village!”

Suddenly, it dawned on Jiaang Lin that the villagers were expressing their gratitude for his aid in driving off Qi Yuan and his companions!

“Without you, Immortal Master, our village would have surely been thrown into turmoil by the ruffians from the Green Mountain Sect!”

The old village chief said, bowing deeply to Jiaang Lin.

Jiaang Lin couldn’t possibly accept such an honor from so many people. In a flash, he activated his sprinting skill and sidestepped the gesture.

When they looked up, Jiaang Lin had vanished. Confused, they turned and found Jiaang Lin standing right beside them!

“Please, there’s no need for such formalities with me.”

Jiaang Lin waved his hands dismissively and said, “Each of you is my elder and my lifesaver. Without your help, I might have perished at the jaws of a demonic beast. You all saved me first, so I, Jiaang Lin, am bound to repay your kindness. Please, don’t treat me with such formality!”

After much effort, Jiaang Lin finally managed to convince the villagers. Seeing the last of them stand up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Immortal Master, when will you be departing?” the old village chief inquired, his voice quivering.

“You’ve saved our village too. Does this mean you’ll be leaving us?”

Caught off guard by the question, Jiaang Lin turned to the village chief and noticed his eyes flickering with concern, the muscles on his face twitching unnaturally. Using his skills, Jiaang Lin discerned the chief’s worries.

“Village Chief, you’re afraid I’ll leave, aren’t you?” Jiaang Lin asked, observing the old man’s face flush with embarrassment, despite his dark complexion.

​It seemed he had hit the nail on the head.
