Chapter 63 (1/2)
Shi Qing was actually just casually asking. His host was such a local tyrant, so a small cheat should be nothing to him. It’s not like it was going to hinder anything if he learned it, so he didn’t take it too seriously.
After the question, he casually flipped over it. Yet, before he could even take a clear look at the words, he heard the host’s voice, and he was instantly paralyzed.
No? He was rejected?
Shi Qing turned to look at Qin Mo.
In Qin Mo’s eyes, that expression became: QAQ.
The combat power of the teary baby Shi Qing was comparable to a bullet when it came to Qin Mo.
Unfortunately, it was a matter of principles, and it was impossible for him to condone it. Qin Mo frowned and reluctantly ignored the teary baby, emphasizing a single sentence, “You’re not allowed to learn any body splitting type techniques.”
Shi Qing, “Wh…why?”
His voice was very quiet, and pitiful like some kind of small animal. Qin Mo instantly thought of the little panda laying obediently in his palm…With that, the anger bar atop his head was cut in half.
Even so, the host was the host after all. Once you get a mental illness, you’ll never recover. He could indulge him unconditionally if it didn’t touch his bottom line. If he did, then he would only be cut off, no excuses, “No.”
His tone dropped eight degrees. Shi Qing had a great shock, and his whole being was paralyzed.
He really couldn’t figure out how he had provoked Qin Mo and triggered his illness. It was reasonable to say that the body splitting technique was convenient and useful. As long as he learned it, his main body would be able to stay by Qin Mo’s side forever, while his other body could look around. It could even be helpful while they completed their tasks, so he wouldn’t have to be so passive.
It was clearly a beneficial matter, so why wouldn’t the host agree?
Shi Qing was anxious, so much so that his brows were wrinkled together. As soon as he looked down, he happened to glance at the book where he had flipped open.
The first page contained a line of big characters that drove straight into his eyes. It was hard not to see it even if he tried. As soon as he saw that, he couldn’t help but smile…
The book said: This technique does more harm than good, it is not suitable for practice if the user is not desperate. In the later stage of the technique, the disaster of the separation of one’s soul would be triggered, and the suffering arising from the damage of one’s soul would last through one’s life without cure. The split off body was synonymous with the owner, once the body was damaged, the same would be done to the main body.
So it turned out the host was just worried about him!
Evidently, his host was just worried that if he learned this technique, and couldn’t master it, he might end up with a fractured personality and soul for the rest of his life! (Should be something like a split personality/schizophrenia but doesn’t quite translate to that)
Shi Qing was smiling from ear to ear. With that thought to lead him, his brain hole started to run wild, and couldn’t be stopped!
Think about it. The host had such an awkward personality, how could he analyze the pros and cons so painstakingly? He definitely must have felt that it was dangerous and simply cut off those thoughts. Even though his tone didn’t sound good, and his attitude was a little bad, he was still very attentive, okay?!
Shi Qing was touched. He was touched by his mental patient host.
In Qin Mo’s eyes, that complex expression became: ⊙▽⊙
—A smirking teary little baby, the anger bar atop Qin Mo’s head was completely emptied.
He pulled him over and landed a fierce kiss on those curved lips. Shi Qing really was a troublemaker!
Shi Qing was still feeling touched, so even though he couldn’t keep up with the sudden kiss, he didn’t have to. It was just a kiss, and it wasn’t the first time. Besides, it still felt pretty nice.
Shi Qing had only broken free when he was kissed so hard that he was almost out of breath. While panting, he was still thinking about the pile of treasures. He had to gather them up quickly. If any accidents happened and they were taken away, he’d definitely be heartbroken to death.
And so, he threw Qin Mo aside and went back to being a busy bee.
Qin Mo looked at the “Secret body splitting technique” that had been thrown aside on the ground like ‘garbage’, and his mouth curved into a smile, his mood improving.
Anything that could prompt Shi Qing to leave him should just be destroyed—such as that book.
He picked up the book, and just as he was about to turn it into the dust to be set free in the wind, he saw the contents of the first page.
Thinking back to Shi Qing’s behavior, how could he fail to understand? For him the warnings in the book were completely useless. If he really wanted to study body splitting techniques, there were tons of solid collocation techniques out there. Those so-called dangers were not even worth mentioning.
However, it was still quite good to have Shi Qing understand it that way.
He smiled, and a mystical technique desired by so many in the world turned to ashes just like that.
For Shi Qing, the three hours of cultivation between tasks was just like the blink of an eye.
He brought those treasures excitedly into his space, and then made a detailed record. He even carefully arranged them into separate classes and types, and those three hours just flew away.
When the system space opened again, he still hadn’t had enough!
What’s more, with those treasures, he’d never complain about having too much!
Another thought struck him, and he was excited again. He would be able to check the rewards once they returned to the space. They had to seal their memories this time, and even had a secondary mission, wouldn’t the rewards be simply shocking?
So, he quickly pulled Qin Mo back into the system space.
Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, after receiving the news of the reward, his mouth was still wide enough from surprise that it could fit a goose egg.
Oh heavens! That’s too much! His little heart can’t bear it!
Since the previous tasks were done with zero mistakes, and they also had the fortune to trigger a random task, and successfully completed all of them, they managed to accumulate a large amount of experience. As a result, the host’s level improved greatly.
The difficulty of the world was increased because of the sealed memories, so by completing the secondary task as well, they were able to accumulate a great deal of additional experience. When it was all added up, the host had actually reached level 20.
New items are unlocked in the system store with each level, and every ten levels would increase the base value of their rewards.
Before doing the random task, Qin Mo was only level nine, and after the random task, he reached level 16. Speaking of that, the random task really was a good task for a great harvest!
The most recent time, the secondary task had also given them a lot of experience, so he rose to level 20.
When they reached level 20, the base reward for each task was increased to 5000 points.
Furthermore, sealing his memories multiplied it by ten times…
Wait! Shi Qing was surprised to find that the tenfold reward was actually given after the reward points for the secondary task were added in!
The reward for the secondary task was 15,000 points, plus the base points of 5,000, then multiply that by ten…
