19 Chapter 19 (1/2)
After one hour of doing the same thing over and over again, Clark has finally called it quits. It got so boring and monotonous in spite of the fact that he was under a constant spell of bliss.
Even before, Clark scoffed at addictive things like this which was why he took his distance away from alcohol, drugs and smoking.
While those vices may give some fleeting facade of heaven but it was after all, not real.
After the haze of satisfaction was gone and in rare moments of sobriety, one would realize that nothing truly changed in their lives.
”Is there no other way to cultivate faster, Nancy?” a handsome middle aged man lazily dropped on the bed. He stretched his numbed body and forgot anything else about maintaining a lotus position.
Not that he cared much of that though at this point.
”There are two general ways to speed up one's cultivation, host.”
”One. You could purchase a better spiritual vein from the system. With an upgraded vein, you could absorb the world energy much faster than your current speed right now.”
”Second. You could also purchase a stronger cultivation manual. Other ways are absorbing the pure world energy stored in spirit stones and another is eating the myriad heavenly produce of the earth.”
Nancy laid the choices down but to buy something from the system at this point was absolutely out of the question.
Clark did not even have a single spirit stone on his hands, much less convert the said nonexistent treasures to shop points and then take his pick on the myriad of goods inside the system shop.
Nonetheless, it has not at all discouraged the young dreamer. Clark scanned the first option and found out a few tasty selections to hopefully purchase in the future.
”Chaos Physique”
”Yang Physique.”
”Yin Physique.”
”Dragonian Physique.”
”Immortal Physique.” The list was long and varied but the top of the list were all priced at 1,000,000 shop points. Clark checked the cultivation manuals and he saw that the same pricing system applied.
”World Devouring Supreme Law. Cost: 1m sp.”
”Eternal Dao Heart. Cost: 1m sp.”
”Heaven Destruction Scripture. Cost: 1m sp.”
”Blood Sovereign Secret Art. Cost: 1m sp.”
'A million shop points for the best shop items. Pretty steep.' Clark moaned in lament as he could only dream of obtaining such expensive goods today.
”I need to have a stable income of spirit stones. Well, scratch that! I want to have at least a million shop points within a week!”
He set an impossible goal for him because he knew that it would at least give him surprising results rather than moping pointlessly in circles.
Clark thought for several minutes on how to tackle this task at hand.
”Can you the scan this xianxia world for magical plants and fruits for me to consume?”
Since he was dirt poor in spirit stones, Clark tried to search instead for the myriad heavenly produce of the earth that Nancy said earlier.
”Negative, host. That is currently not within the system's abilities but you could always buy an upgrade to get that specific function.”
”Let me guess. That upgrade is also priced at 1 million shop points.”
”Affirmative, host. You are correct. Your wisdom really knows no bounds!” Nancy's lovely voice rang in appreciation to her master.
Alas, it brought no joy to Clark as he continued to think of ways around his problem.
”Do you have an inventory space i could use, Nancy?” Clark asked the system after six minutes of silence.
He was thinking that perhaps he could order his summons around and take the body parts of his prey to gain him some money in return.
But to be able to do that efficiently, he would need to have a storage facility or something close in purpose. Else everything he had would rot before he could even find a buyer to sell it to.
”Affirmative, host. Do you want to open your inventory?”
”Sure. sure. Please, Nancy.” he replied.
'I'd completely forgotten about this very important aspect in rpg games.' Clark smiled and gently tapped his forehead in dismay.
'The transmigration process must have jumbled up my brain like crazy!' Clark sighed as he remembered how he broke down the first time he had met the system.
Asking Nancy to take him home because he really did not want to stay in this world any moment longer.
”Inventory feature initializing...

Inventory featured activated.” Sixty breaths passed and Nancy brought the good news in time.
”Now let me see what we have in here.”
”Please open my inventory, Nancy.” Clark was thrilled as he expected something out of the ordinary to grace his eyes.
