1515 Opening the Newbie Gift Package

“I’m trying to save someone.” Xu Que talked about this as if he were finding the entire situation impossible, but all the time he still had a cocky look on his face.

All the people who had been observing this situation unfold had almost gone mad with fury. It was really too much to be as arrogant as Xu Que was.

It also struck them that his emotional intelligence seemed to be a little low to be speaking like this in front of the beautiful woman he was with. Wasn’t he afraid of making her angry?

Doesn’t she have any self-respect?

“That’s right!” Suddenly, Xuanyuan Wanron spoke up. Her voice sounded very confident as she agreed with Xu Que and said, “This is absolutely true. If you don’t like me, you and I are going to die. I am very happy that you finally understand the situation we are in.”

What the h*ll?

All the onlookers were instantly struck dumb. They looked appalled. They’d been stunned by disbelief at first, but that was followed closely by an uproar.

“F*ck!”

“Is this…real or fake?”

“Such a beautiful goddess, actually…actually is the one sticking up for Xu Que?”

“What the f*ck, why is life so unfair? What good qualities does that guy, Xu Que, have? He’s slightly good-looking and he’s pretty arrogant.”

“D*mn, when it comes to good-looking, how am I any less handsome than Xu Que? It’s completely unreasonable.”

Many people were stupefied. Even one of the most handsome men on campus was feeling indignant about this situation that was taking place before all of them.

However, none of what they said or did could change anything. Xuanyuan Wanrong continued to look at Xu Que and be very serious. Some of the onlookers at the scene wanted to attempt to kidnap her from Xu Que. However, they hesitated because they were pretty certain that their chances of success would be very low.

Only Xu Que himself was delighted at this moment. He had reaped another 30 Acting Tough Points.

He summoned the System interface. Although it was only a replicated version, there was no change in the method of using it. There were obviously many differences in the System store as compared to the real version.

When he’d first arrived in the World of Cultivators, the System had helped him assimilate by giving him spiritual roots and even presenting him with the Beginner’s Ancient Five Elemental Arts set.

But this time it had only helped him by presenting him with a newbie gift package. The System store basically only sold Martial Arts stuff. There were no cultivator-related skills or Magic Arts in it at all.

“Is it because the System is a replicated version and its level is too low that the Magic Arts aren’t appearing? Or because this world on Earth is too weak…? No, when I returned to Earth previously, Earth was protected by a spell and Kunlun Mountain also had a cultivator. So I don’t think the reason the replicated System doesn’t include Magic Arts or other cultivator-related stuff is because it’s too weak.” Xu Que frowned as he was thinking to himself about the System.

Although the Martial Arts in the System store could be enough to deal with a lot of people on Earth, they wouldn’t be of much help if one had to face real threatening beings or situations. For example, if the atomic bomb exploded or one ran into certain crafty cultivators who had hidden away here, a simple Martial Arts wasn’t going to be any help at all.

“Forget it, after all, this is just the world in my memory. I don’t anticipate staying in this place for too long. I probably won’t meet up with any of those dangers.” Xu Que shook his head to clear it. So be it, Martial Arts was stronger than nothing.

One problem I have though is that Xuanyuan Wanrong is so appealing. I worry that, if pressed, I wouldn’t be able to protect her without my cultivator strength.

“System, please open the newbie gift package and see if there’s anything good in there.” Xu Que decided to open his gift from the System and commenced communication with it

Although at first it seemed unfamiliar, he got well accustomed to it soon enough. At the same time that the System had presented him with the newbie gift package it had helped him navigate easily through the newbie stage. And now Xu Que looked forward to this newbie gift package.

Martial Arts were also divided into low level, mid-level, and high-level. The low-level Martial Arts were those ordinary punching and kicking techniques, like Taekwondo. Once the speed and strength of the punching and kicking techniques were understood, as well as a timely response, it was a Martial Arts that ordinary people could accomplish.

As for mid-level Martial Arts, they were obviously more powerful, such as Qinggong. This involved leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls. This mid-level Martial Arts was comprised of skills such as Eighteen Dragon Palms, Lone Nine Swords, and so on.

The top-level Martial Arts were on a par with the skills of a cultivator at the beginning stages of his cultivation. Some were even more powerful than those of a cultivator. Actually, it was very difficult to completely divide the boundaries between Martial Arts and cultivation at this level.

Thus Xu Que was looking forward to the newbie gift package. It would be awesome if he were given some kind of top-level Martial Arts. Then he could work at it to the extreme and then be on a par with a cultivator.

DING! “The newbie gift package is opened.”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten portions of Secret Golden Medicine for Wounds, five Diamond Energy Pills, one Blood Demon Pill, and two Martial Arts secret skills manual!”

The System beep suddenly rang out.

Xu Que’s eyes immediately swept toward the System’s item interface.

*Secret Golden Medicine for Wounds: This panacea to heal wounds will allow the wound to recover quickly and not leave a scar.

*Diamond Energy Pill: After taking this, it can increase one’s strength 100 times; the effects last for one hour. After the end of the effective period, the pill taker will fall into a one-day coma.

*Blood Demon Pill: The ultimate divine medicine to increase Inner Power. After taking it, the pill can instantly add 50 years of profound Inner Power. (Note: The power gained by the aforementioned pill can only be used in conjunction with the Blood Demon Magic Mind Arts.)

“Oh my, these medicinal items are quite interesting. But why do I feel that the Blood Demon Pill is a scam? 50 years of profound Inner Power is very strong, but the problem is that it’s only for a designated Martial Mind Arts. Is this forcing me to convert to the Martial Arts secret skills manual?”

Xu Que smiled and felt completely nonchalant. He had long understood the System’s devious nature. He hadn’t expected that the replicated version would be the same. Bad habits were hard to change.

But the newbie gift package was also quite good. Just these medicinal items alone were enough to let him do a lot of things, not to mention there were two Martial Arts secret skills manual.

Xu Que looked at the two secret skills manuals.

*Twinkle Finger: A body without a phoenix’s two bright wings, but two hearts are linked as one. Can be used for attack and defense. One finger is used for attack and also the world’s top Finger Arts!

The Finger Arts is Lu Xiaofeng’s proud signature Martial Arts, originating and evolving from the Heaven and Earth One Finger of Shen Tianjun, the King of ancient China in olden times and the teachings of the elder Chu Liuxiang. A form of Martial Arts that does not seek to kill but to suppress the enemy. It is unique in the world and a foolproof consummate skill. In harmful circumstances and unprotected states, one can still be capable of defense.

*Wave-like Subtle Steps: Originated from the Martial Arts in “Demigods and Semi-Devils”, the special Qinggong of the Carefree Sect with the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes as its foundation. The user must step on the hexagram positions to advance in a specific sequence and walk a perfect big circle from the first step to the last step.

This footwork is exquisite and exceptional. The learner can use it to avoid many enemies’ attacks. In addition, every step taken with the Wave-like Subtle Steps is closely related to the Inner Power and definitely not just about taking steps to walk. If a person without an Internal Force foundation were to force an attempt to walk the Wave-like Subtle Steps, it will cause the dangerous situation of destroying one’s Meridians.

TUT! TUT! TUT! “Books about secret skills manuals of mid-level Martial Arts at one go, so it looks like this System is not too devious. It is actually quite generous!” Xu Que smiled and nodded.

Although he had been looking forward to the emergence of some top-level Martial Arts, based on his understanding of the System, the System couldn’t be too generous. For the System to have given him skills comparable to special agent technical abilities was not that bad.

But he absolutely didn’t expect that it would present him with two mid-level Martial Arts secret skills manuals at one go. A set of Twinkle Finger and Wave-like Subtle Steps was enough to dominate everywhere.

The only pity was that both Martial Arts required Internal Force to support the operation.

Internal Force…

“It seems that I have to convert for that Blood Demon Magic.” Xu Que felt somewhat helpless. He entered the System store interface to search the guide. He immediately found the Blood Demon Magic Mind Arts.

The next moment, he almost jumped off the ground.

“What the f*ck, are you kidding me? A lousy Inner Power Mind Arts actually requires 2,000 Acting Tough Points?” Xu Que blew his top on the spot.

2,000 Acting Tough Points in the World of Cultivators could buy Nine Secrets, a few sets of spells, and even a few Mystical Fires.

When did the Acting Tough Points become so worthless?

“System, you’d better explain this to me. Other people are driving up the value of the Acting Tough Points. And you’re bringing down their value.” Xu Que got angry and interrogated the System.

The System didn’t respond at all, as if it had been a product of low intelligence and basically had no ability to answer questions and could only follow the host’s instructions.

“Xu Que? What are you doing? People are shouting at you.”

At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s voice could be heard. It pulled Xu Que back from the System interface.

“What’s up?” Xu Que frowned and asked. He was in a bad mood purely because of the System’s scheming nature.

“2,000 Acting Tough Points! How long do I have to act tough before I can convert for that secret skills manual?”

“People are shouting at you!” Xuanyuan Wanrong yelled at him again.

“Shouting at me?” Xu Que stared blankly and then listened carefully. He turned his head to look and, sure enough, a few people were shouting at him.
