Chapter 37 – The Puppet Technique
Luo Tian was super unhappy having fallen into Luo Jianshan’s scheme.
The first thing being unable to complete his quest, making Luo Tian super super unhappy.
But…
Humans were alive while the System wasn’t. The system only wanted some type of acknowledgement.
That’s why Luo Tian deliberately formed his question that way, trying to make Luo Jianshan give some type of acknowledgement. Once he acknowledges it, the System will by default take that as the quest being completed.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to Player Luo Tian for completing an A-ranked quest. You have gained 20,000 quest experience points, 1000 profound energy, and a random supportive martial skill.”
His experience bar surged ahead by 20,000 points and his profound energy value increased by 1000 points.
“Ding!”
“Would you like to start the random draw?”
Luo Tian didn’t even contemplate it and made a thought: “Start!”
A big roulette wheel appeared in his mind that was filled with different martial skills engraved around it. There were refining pills, refining weapons and armor, inscriptions, and several other supportive martial skills. Luo Tian looked at the refining pill techniques and started praying: “Big sister Guanyin¹, little sister Chang’e¹, little sister Maria Ozawa², teacher Sola Aoi², Rola Misaki² etc… you all must bless me so that I can draw pill refinement.”
He wouldn’t need to worry about his profound energy being exhausted when he’s able to refine pills.
Even if he encounters someone he can’t kill, he could at least tire the person death.
“Refining pill technique, it has to be the refining pill technique!”
Luo Tian was praying with all his might.
The roulette wheel started spinning and a few minutes later, it stopped and pointed at a martial skill.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to Player Luo Tian for gaining the Puppet Technique!”
As the voice faded, an ancient looking book floated in his mind with the words Puppet Technique on its cover.
Luo Tian was at a complete loss as strength drained from him. He then mumbled: “You sister System! In order to finish the quest, I almost died on the Ghostly Mountain Range. And I almost died trying to complete the quest yet you give me a Puppet Technique? Your sister, do you want me to die that much? What I wanted was the refining pill technique, refining pill technique ahhhhhhhh…”
Ten million times screw your mom you damn System.
Li Xue’er saw that Luo Tian was unhappy so she quickly asked in concern: “Big brother Luo Tian, are you okay?”
Such intimacy; this girl’s gentle eyes made Luo Tian’s heart skip a beat. Luo Tian then shook his head with a bitter smile: “I’m fine.”
Li Xue’er made a light “oh” before continuing: “Big brother Luo Tian, are you worried about fighting the 4th rank demonic beast in half a month’s time? If you’re worried, I could…”
“I’m not worried.”
Luo Tian interrupted without allowing Li Xue’er to finish speaking.
The feeling Li Xue’er gave him was not normal. Her temperament, the way she speaks, and her calmness made her completely different from other normal girls. The sword skill she cultivated was very powerful and when adding all of these together, Luo Tian came to the conclusion that she was definitely not a simple girl.
She must have an extremely strong background!
As to how strong her background was? Luo Tian had no way to even guess. The memories from his childhood were too fuzzy so he couldn’t remember why she came to the Luo family and definitely couldn’t remember how strong her background was.
Perhaps a single sentence from Li Xue’er would make Luo Jianshan take back the words he had said in the martial training grounds.
But Luo Tian didn’t wish for her to do that.
He was a man.
He couldn’t allow a girl stand up for him, especially when it came to a girl he liked!
Every action had a price so no matter what; Luo Tian didn’t want Li Xue’er to beg someone!
That’s why Luo Tian made a clear cut refusal.
Li Xue’er’s eyebrows made a slight frown and her hesitation made her look extremely cute.
Luo Tian’s index finger gently patted Li Xue’er’s nose as he softly said: “Silly girl, there’s no need to worry because nothing will happen to me.”
Feng Lei had a foolish grin on him, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry because I will use my life to protect the boss.”
Looking at his foolish grin, he looked exactly like a complete idiot. But his words were very serious; serious enough that he would trade his life for Luo Tian’s without a thought.
What is considered brotherhood? This is!
Luo Tian felt quite emotional knowing he had a girl and a brother like this. With a relaxed smile, “You two are worrying too much, you forget who I am. A single Luo Jianshan is not qualified to mess with me!”
The three of them smiled at each other.
Immediately after…
