How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 28. They Sure Know How To Play (¬_¬)



After Ren Qingquan prepared his luggage and left, the remaining people in Formation Peak soon followed suit and sent their respective leave of absence.

Going outside the sect, at first all of them thought of using a normal horse to travel, until elder Zhang said she had better mounts.

Following elder Zhang to Endless Mountain, she found several ferocious beasts that probably could run at high speed and fed them with a pill of hers.

Soon after, those ferocious beasts became tame.

But when Ren Qingquan looked at how those beast's eyes were losing focus while often drooling. He immediately placed fatty's aunt in his list of dangerous people that must not be offended.

'This woman is extremely dangerous!'

From the corner of his eye, Ren Qingquan could see his uncle's complexion turned weird after seeing the condition of those beasts while muttering how her skill has increased.

Remembering how elder Zhang seems to have some affection for third uncle, Ren Qingquan could only sigh in admiration for his uncle's ability to survive until now.

Just like that, 5 days pass with elder Zhang occasionally stopping to feed the beasts that mysterious medicinal pill of hers. During those five days, Ren Qingquan just chatted around with fatty to pass the time because he is already out of interesting novels to read.

He also occasionally helped fatty when the latter cooked ferocious beasts meat for the group to eat.

Which caused some shock to the group, as a chef capable of cooking ferocious beast meat is quite rare, and fatty Zhang is actually one of them.

That afternoon they could finally see the blue sea. From their current location, the group could even see a vague silhouette of an island which is the Meteor Island they are looking for.

"Let's make some rafts."

Looking at the sea, senior brother suggested while pointing at the surrounding trees.

Just when everyone prepared to take action and chop some trees, elder Zhang spoke.

"Have you guys already learned some agility skills to keep balance?"

Hearing her question, everyone reflectively nodded.

"Then, wait a moment."

The group waited for what elder Zhang was going to do. Then they saw her take one flower vase-like container containing some pills from her clothes before throwing one of those things to the sea.

Next, many fishes arrived at the pill's location but floated soon after nibbling at that pill.

After half an hour, a massive wave could be seen at the shore. With a big splash, a huge fish at Martial Saint realm jumped toward the pill floating above the water.

After eating that pill, the huge fish almost floated like other fish until the elder Zhang fed it another pill and proceeded to jump above it.

"Hop on, also prepare your agility skills."

Standing above the fish just like elder Zhang is, all of them circulated their blood energy and activated their agility skills to attach their legs on that fish.

When elder Zhang saw everyone already standing at the fish, she dipped her hand coated in some liquid thing in the water in front of the giant fish toward Meteor Island. The fish sensing that liquid, moved toward it with a jolt and started to swim quickly in Meteor Island's direction.

15 minutes later they finally arrived at Meteor Island. The fish that took them here finally leave heroically into the sea after sending its passenger off.

Upon landing in the island, all of them started hunting some wild animals on the island while also gathering several plants following fatty's guide.

Next, except for fatty Zhang that is cooking, all of them begin to pitch their tent.

When everyone is busy building their tent, Ren Qingquan could see elder Zhang adding some dust like things to one of the leg meat while fatty is not looking.

Suddenly, both of their eyes met and she made a shushing gesture toward him.

Realizing he saw her act, elder Zhang smiled and continued pitching her tent as if nothing happened.

'Guess what? Let's just eat vegetarian food for today.'

Although Ren Qingquan only saw her put that powder in one of the meat. He prefers not to eat any meat at all for today.

During the meal, he saw the third uncle eating the meat coated in elder Zhang's mysterious powder while elder Zhang just smiled and looked at uncle.

After eating his vegetarian meal, Ren Qingquan entered his tent and slept.

Waking up in the middle of the night due to hunger, he could hear the sound of a third uncle's tent opening and the faint sound of talking inside that tent. After trying hard to hear some of the conversation, Ren Qingquan gave up and forced himself to sleep.

When morning arrived Ren Qingquan exited his tent while feeling tired and hungry as he only ate vegetables yesterday.

Looking at the sea and appreciating the beauty of nature in the morning. The system suddenly spoke and destroyed his beautiful morning.

[Actually, host. You could use the system's scan function to detect whether or not your meat has been drugged with aphrodisiac.]

'What?! Why didn't you say that yesterday when I almost vomited from eating those bitter vegetables!'

[Well, eating vegetables is good for your body. Also, the system thought you already knew about that function. ]

'Damn it. I guess I have started to forget [Scan] exists since getting the system map. Also, system, did you just say aphrodisiac?'

[Indeed. What your uncle ate yesterday is meat seasoned with aphrodisiac.]

Remembering elder Zhang's smile as she seasoned uncle's meat with that powder, Ren Qingquan trembled in fear.

'I thought she was just a bit dangerous with how many kinds of weird medicine she had on her. Looking at that act of hers, I guess I need to raise her level from dangerous woman to dangerous crazy woman.'

Just when he was arguing with the system, the surrounding tent started to open. Looking as his uncle went out with a pale face and a smile while holding hands with a happy elder Zhang. Ren Qingquan is confused.

'Did I misunderstand something?'

After eating, Ren Qingquan immediately bid farewell to the group.

"Well, everyone. I will be leaving to explore the ruin at this island's center. "

"Wait for me, brother Ren. I also want to join you!"

After fatty said his leave and followed Ren Qingquan, Peak Master Fen and senior brother also followed suit.

During their walk, Peak Master Fen started his rant about a third uncle.

"Sigh. Your uncle finally did the deed with his girlfriend. It's been 15 years already since they started dating. Even I, as a spectator of their love story, feel tired and impatient looking at that prolonged drama of theirs. Just how much of a wimp someone must be to make their girlfriend so impatient she decided to use an aphrodisiac."

The Older brother soon followed with his own rant.

"That is right! I truly wanted to punch that ugly mug of his when he played hard to get with his girlfriend in front of me. Don't they know not to hurt the feelings of single people by doing that kind of lovey-dovey act in public. "

"What? They are already a couple?Also, did you know elder Zhang gave uncle an aphrodisiac?"

'This is news for me.'

Hearing Ren Qingquan's question, Peak Master Fen spoke in shock.

"Of course I knew about that aphrodisiac since before elder Zhang created it. Both of them love to play some weird games. This aphrodisiac is probably a new idea they just thought of. "

Peak Master Fen then continued with his own question.

"Then, you don't know your uncle has been in a relationship with elder Zhang for a long time?"

Ren Qingquan shook his head.

"I thought elder Zhang just had a one-sided affection to uncle."

"Hahaha. Then, I will tell you their stories so you know just how much hatred I, an old single man, have while looking at their lovey-dovey act at least once a month."

Just like that, several days pass with them camping, traveling and gossiping about his uncle and his soon to be aunt Zhang.

***

When Ren Qingquan tried to take a leave of absence.

The Azure Emperor flew quickly across the sky and within several hours, he had already arrived at the Martial Spirit Sect.

Slowing down his speed of flight as he moved toward the Martial Spirit Sect's Central Peak, he started to descend from the sky toward one of the palace-like buildings in the sect's Central Peak.

Not long after, the Azure Emperor is greeted by ten people wearing luxurious clothings.

From the energy they released, he is sure all ten of them are Martial Emperor level.

"Azure Emperor, what is the reason your esteemed self decided to pay a visit to our Martial Spirit Sect?"

One of the elders asked about the Azure emperor's reason to visit them.

"Nothing much, We are just thinking about taking some souvenirs from this world. Because soon, We are going to leave this world to seek eternal life."

"Leave? Where to? Also, what about the Great Azure Empire?"

Listening to that elder's question Azure Emperor answered with some random thing first.

"My apologies, it seems I still have the habit of calling myself using We. Anyway, I have abdicated as an emperor. I come here mainly to take some of your treasured weapons to prepare for my journey."

Hearing Azure Emperor's calm narration, all of the Martial Emperor are confused before turning angry. One of them even laughed seemingly in anger.

"Hahaha. You sure talk big! Do you think of us as a push over to be trampled all over the place?! If you really think you are worthy then try to take it from our hands!"

After saying his word, that Martial Emperor stepped hard while pulling his treasured sword. Gathering the power of nature at the blade of his sword, he slashed hard at Azure Emperor.

Answering the attack from that Martial Emperor, he just waved the sleeve of his emperor robe to nullify it.

Looking at how Azure Emperor nullified his attack at ease. That Martial Emperor asked in shock.

"Have you broken through the past Martial Emperor realm?!"

"Indeed, that is why I dared to come here."

Quickly exchanging glances between them, one of the Martial Emperor quickly ran toward the bell tower located at central peak.

Sensing something wrong, the Azure Emperor quickly tried to attack that person.

When he just waved his hand to throw some palm skill, the surrounding nine Martial Emperors made their moves.

Using five treasures including the sword on the first Martial Emperor's hand they successfully parried his attack.

*Boom*

One of the palaces got destroyed from his palm attack they parried. Sensing their intent to buy some time, he quickly gathered the surrounding energies and dealt several palm attacks in succession.

This time, he successfully dealt damage to them and made two treasured weapons of theirs to be thrown from their control.

Raising his hand, the Azure Emperor sucked a treasured sword and a jade seal that got thrown toward his palm.

When he just prepared another round of attack, the Martial Emperor running toward the bell tower finally arrived.

Gathering the surrounding natural energies, that Martial Emperor rings the bell with full power while choosing Azure Emperor as its target.

*Ding*

With a crisp bell sound, the Azure Emperor could feel himself knocked back quickly, destroying several buildings on his way.

*Ding*

Soon, that Martial Emperor continued to ring the bell while targeting the Azure Emperor.

This time, he could feel himself getting slightly injured and decided to escape.

While leaving toward the core of Endless Mountain, Azure Empire gets lost in thought.

'It seems I must stop this bad habit of mine. showing off before battle might seriously affect its result. Also, as expected of the Martial Spirit Sect that has survived through several eras, they actually have a weapon capable of stopping someone at my level.'

Looking at the gains from this battle, he nodded.

'At least, I have gained two weapons which should be enough to open the void and leave this world.'
