Chapter 2 (1/2)
The night was already late, the bonfire swayed gently in the wind.
Li Ziqi, who was a budding beauty, emitted a dense air of innocence only teenage girls would have. This was especially so for her melon-shaped face. It was beautiful and adorable.
Although she wasn’t an adult yet, she already possessed the immature charm of one. A few years later, she would definitely rank among the top ranks of beauties and become famous throughout the world. 1
Yet, Sun Mo had no time to admire her beauty. His brain was busy searching through the Great Absolute Teacher System. 1
“The system can help the host to become a great absolute teacher. The host can gain an increase in favorable impressions through the system guidance and targets set.
“Favorable impressions can be transformed into gold coins and be used as the currency to purchase items from the system shopping store. 1
“Merchandise sold includes but is not limited to various spells, secret treasures, alchemical pills, absolute arts, and blueprints…”
Sun Mo read silently and chose to open up the system shopping store. A shop’s shelf made of sandalwood appeared before his eyes. However, nothing was on it other than a glowing dark-red fruit at the right corner.
“Starmoon Fruit, price 1,000 favorable impression points. After consuming it, it will increase your level.”
Sun Mo’s expression became unsightly.
“Are you kidding me? Where’s the bunch of good stuff promised? Why is there only one item? Do you believe that I’ll smack your face?” 3
In the continent of nine provinces, spirit qi was in abundance, and some distinguished sages had created various cultivation methods. If one trained their cultivation to the extreme, they could achieve eternal life and shatter the void. Up until now, tens of thousands of years had already passed in this world, and it had become a mature system. 1
The first realm for cultivators was known as the body-refinement realm. Next was the spirit-refining realm.
Energy was stored in your pores, transforming into spirit. When all 108 acupoints were cleared, the cultivator would step into the blood-ignition realm followed by the divine force realm. As the name implied, cultivators at the divine force realm had the strength that surpassed mortals.
Sun Mo felt like the cultivation realms were the same as learning; both could grow based on cultivating oneself through the system. No matter what, he was still a postgraduate student. He didn’t feel that cultivation would be difficult. Hence, compared to the Starmoon Fruit that could be used to increase his level and realm, he wanted an absolute art more.
“Don’t need to be in a rush. The other items would gradually be unlocked!”
The tone of the system wasn’t fast nor slow.
“Is there something like the Art of Nine Negations? How about the Six-Meridians Divine Sword?”
Sun Mo was a cultured youth. Usually, he would be reading novels on his phone in his idle time. When he had the feeling, he would even write some stories himself. 1
“No!”
The system was as calm as ever. “But there are better absolute arts than that.”
Sun Mo and the system were squabbling, neglecting Li Ziqi at the side. However, she wasn’t impatient and was staring at Sun Mo in interest.
“He is quite good-looking!”
Li Ziqi bit her lips. Usually, people would always smile after looking at her. They would use all sorts of topics, trying to compliment her. But this young man didn’t even glance at her directly.
Ding!
Favorable impression from Li Ziqi +1. 2
Prestige connection with Li Ziqi. Current state, neutral (5/100)!
“Don’t be nervous, I won’t bite.”
Sun Mo squeezed out a smile, feeling puzzled in his heart. Why did her favorable impression of him increase? According to the system’s explanation, he thought that he needed to provide teachings and guidance before the target’s favorable impression of him would increase?
“That’s a great teacher’s words and actions. The way they sit and walk can be considered role models. Your demeanor can also stir the hearts of students, causing them to generate respect and worship.”
The system’s explanation was very detailed. It felt a little like a caring older sister.
“What is a prestige connection then?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Host’s level is too low. Unable to reveal the information.”
The system rejected him.
Sun Mo continued to explore the system’s functions as he felt his headache growing increasingly painful. When he first arrived, the memories in his brain were in chaos. Also, because he went into the water to save someone earlier, he expended quite a large amount of strength. He was incomparably weary and soon fell asleep involuntarily.
…
Kua! Kua!
A frog jumped onto Sun Mo’s face without any regard for him. After leaving two wet prints, it leaped off again.
“The dream last night was so long. But that girl was quite beautiful.”
The slightly cool dewdrops wetted his body, making him extremely uncomfortable. Sun Mo casually wiped his face and when he turned, he directly knocked his head into a locust tree next to him. 1
Bang!
The sensation of pain drifted over.
“It wasn’t a dream!”
Sun Mo rubbed his forehead and searched for Li Ziqi. However, at the bonfire that was already extinguished, there was no one at all. Even so, there was a pink-color handkerchief tied around his left wrist.
“Ten days later, see you at the student recruitment meet.”
The beautiful-looking words exuded the gentle aura of a girl from a wealthy family.
When Sun Mo thought of his terrible situation, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. If he was to let this girl know that he was just a logistic staff, wouldn’t her disappointment shoot through the roof?
He went to the lake’s side to wash his face first. This face of his was 80% similar to him in his previous world, but it was slightly more good-looking with a few hints of delicateness and immaturity to be seen. On his countenance, no confidence was emitted, there was only trepidation.
