A cultivation set of the perpetual supreme grade?
Argen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This grade...He hasn't heard of it until now.
He tapped the (see descriptions?) button.
[Name: ???
Type: Cultivation Set
"What's with all the question marks?" Argen was pissed that he couldn't know what's the name of the technique he had picked. He continued to read further.
Grade: Perpetual Supreme
(Learn?)]
"Perpetual Supreme? Wait, I thought there's only 5 rankings of techniques? Was it the '???' ?"
He recalled the rankings once again.
Mortal grade
Firmament grade
Perfection grade
Peerless grade
Eternal grade
"Yeah. It must be those three question marks with the 0.1%" Just as Argen was about to learn the technique, he stiffened when he heard a slutty voice.
"I'm back~♡" Suddenly, Argen could see a figure closing the door and before he could utter a shriek, he found himself slammed down on the bed.
Rena was on top of him with a smile full of lust.
Even though the captured prey was prepared to retaliate, he couldn't help but tremble in nervousness.
They were so close with each other they could feel their breaths.
The female further closed the distance between them and Argen could feel her mountainous chest onto his. Her eyes were seductively looking straight into his as she slowly licked her lips and made its way to warm his.
Was he turned on?
Hell no! He was scared sh*tless!
Only an inch was left of the distance between their lips before Argen had managed to snap out and finally retaliate.
On his free hand appeared a piece of paper ball from thin air. Argen head-bumped the female and kicked her away. He then slapped the thing on the vixen's face before he rushed to the door.
"What...!?"
She took away the paper and she was shocked speechless when she tasted something weird with an awful smell.
Rena immediately faced the mirror and saw her smudged face.
F*ck.
On her face was sh*t! Literally!
Oh the horror...
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! YOU SON OF A B*TCH!!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR PUTTING CR*P ONTO MY FACE!!!" She shrieked and dashed towards the bathroom door.
It was locked.
She was incensed and did not hesitate to viciously attack the door.
She'd rather wash her face first than to immediately chase Argen with sh*t still on her face.
----
Because the door of the room was unlocked, Argen was able to escape the room and rapidly dashed away using the route towards the backdoor with his full might.
After he edited his Divine Scrutiny to show dots instead of pictures, he activated it and updated his map enough not to get him exhausted.
Argen used the route where the servants were scarce, except for one maid who suddenly went out from a room while holding cleaning materials.
She noticed Argen and was taken aback.
"Huh? H-hey! Where are you...!" Argen passed by her and did not even look at her once.
The maid was confused and immediately followed the new face.
However she lost track just after a few seconds and suddenly, her sight went black and she lost consciousness.
After hitting the maid with a wooden plank he took away from a cabinet in the guest room, he crouched and rummaged the maid's clothes to find keys.
Argen was disappointed to see none so he went on his way.
He went down the stairs as rapidly as he could and there he met an old butler making his way up.
"Sir? Why are you in a hurry?" The butler asked when he noticed Argen and at the same time, Argen caught sight of keys dangling on his hands.
"Nice timing" He said snatched the keys on the butler's hands.
Argen, even though he knows how to break locks, he needed to spend a long time before he cracks them and escape.
"You...!"
Because Argen still did not learn any fighting skills, just as the butler was about to berate Argen, he was immediately struck with a stinging and abysmally painful sensation between his legs.
Crack.
"I'm so sorry!" Argen said and took out cloth and tucked it inside the butler's mouth just as he was about to scream in sorrow and agony.
He then took out another cloth and tied it onto the butler's mouth to secure it.
The poor individual scrunched up like a shrimp with his hands onto his squashed little brother. He was sweating profusely and his sweat was pouring in buckets.
Argen flinched at the sight of it and decided to scram towards the backdoor.
Meanwhile, Rena finally finished washing her face and hair.
The human waste did not just got splatted onto her face but most of it also got stuck on her hair.
A faint awful smell of it still lingered because her shampoo couldn't completely neutralize it.
"That damn boy! Never in a million years have I imagined a time where I taste literal sh*t! I'll screw him!" She cursed and dashed away at full speed to find him.
Rena took out a small jade and put it on her ear.
"Emergency! Everyone, leave your posts and find the individual that escaped!" She said and began to describe Argen's features while she herself was in search.
----
Argen has already passed through the backdoor and was currently throwing a rope made of clothes to the other side of the wall. The end of the rope which had a rock, wrapped itself onto a large branch before Argen stepped onto the wall and began wall-walking while pulling the rope.
His heart was beating furiously and just as he stepped onto the top of the wall, a yell resounded.
"COME BACK HERE YOU JERK!" Rena dashed madly at Argen.
Argen tensed up and his grasp from the rope loosened. His balance went awry and he began falling down towards the mansion's area.
"NOO!!" Argen, the poor guy, was about to have his efforts went down to drain.
If only he wasn't a damn weakling without any battle experience.
Well what can we say about someone who once lived in the peaceful Earth? He never even once touched a kitchen knife!
Rena's face brightened up and she doubled her speed to capture the falling guy.
A tree branch then shot out grabbed Argen's feet and pulled him up towards the forest.
"What the...!" Rena let out a gasp and stopped. Her feet refused to move and she was frozen like a statue. "T-the b-branch...was that even a branch?! It looked like a hand!"
After that, the branch pulled the rope away towards the forest's side.
Rena pondered whether she should go to the other side and pursuit him further.
After a long moment, she sighed.
"What a shame..."
She didn't dare to enter the Underworld's Mother Nature, lest she'll lose her life.
----
"D-did the t-t-tree really just move?!"
After landing harshly on the grass, Argen finally had a clear sight at the tree in front of him.
It was just a normal tall tree. Nothing special about it except the creepy vibe and how it just pulled Argen with its branches.
Argen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his successful escape.
"Whatever. I'll just follow my original plan." He said and wore a piece of cloth. He let it drape just enough to cover his peripheral vision.
Argen closed his eyes and activated his Divine Scrutiny.
The area was filled with green dots, indicating the trees. He didn't see a single red dot anywhere.
His map didn't cover the whole forest and neither did it show the wall where the other side of it are the where the buildings and ordinary citizens are at. So, he could only take a random route away from the mansion and maintain the same direction.
Argen opened his eyes and felt really exhausted. He walked and when he finally felt he put enough distance away from the mansion's walls, he finally sat and took a rest.
He sat down and lay his back onto a boulder..
"Finally, some peace..." He positioned his legs to a cross and opened the system panel which he had left.
[Name: ???
Type: Cultivation Set
Grade: Perpetual Supreme
(Learn?)]
Just as he was about to agree to learn, a question hit him.
"I seemed to remember that until you reach Earthly Martial 5, you can't learn any skills yet, battle or not. So am I eligible? Hmm...let's see." He thought and tested it out by agreeing.
"Learn"
A flood----no, a tsunami of knowledge hit Argen. His thoughts were thrown into chaos before the knowledge started to piece itself together until he was able to understand the essence of it.
[Congratulations on learning a Perpetual Supreme grade cultivation technique]
Argen breathe out a long sigh of relief.
"With this perpetual supreme grade cultivation technique, I could finally advance greatly in cultivation. But, me learning this technique still isn't an enough answer to conclude that I am able to learn skills while I am still beneath Earthly Martial 5. After all, this is the first time I have heard such a grade so maybe this grade is somewhat different." He inferred and began cultivating according to the new cultivation technique.
The Perpetual Supreme grade has different kinds and levels. Argen would have to reach a specific strength to unlock more of them.
The first one would be body-tempering.
This level is separated into three kinds.
Body Control, Durability and Regeneration.
He'd have to first complete body control before he could proceed to durability.
While undergoing the first kind, his cultivation speed increases twice from his original (10 minutes = 2 exp).
Argen opened the mission panel.
The conditions were still the same. He needs to get to the next level and receive 3 stat points. However, the random draw reward is not present anymore. It was exchanged with a new addition.
Stars.
"Can you at least put up a mission that collects some stuffs and turn them into potions as rewards?" Argen complained.
[You'd have to turn them yourself if that happens are half a system. In the past, you were in charge of making the rewards since the assignment section only approves plausible missions that can be achieved by the former host and you. Rewards are improved every time you go back to SA and upgrade your knowledge and skills. I am just an informant and is powerless in that aspect]
Those words ignited several questions.
"So, where'd you get all those techniques then huh? And plus, do you already know who you were?" Since the system part of his told introduced itself as informant, surely it knows it used to be in the SA right?
[Techniques are different from potions, pills or weapons since an informant cannot take away anything of SA's except for knowledge. It is only possible if a system fetches it and hold onto them as rewards for the host. I am also able to reward you pill or potion making techniques or you buy them with stars]
[Also, yes. I have retained my memories but can't feel emotions anymore] It answered.
"So you don't hate me that I...uhh, absorbed you?" Argen was skeptical.
[I don't know what hate feels like anymore. I have merged into your system self so I will be in-charge in managing the missions and rewards for your host-self]
[Also, you can't make your own mission for your host-self cause that will just complicate things. How could you reward yourself with something you already have? The last skills and knowledge you were taught back in SA cannot be used unless you buy it with stars or you get them as rewards through missions]
"That is so unfair! I learnt them to heart and this is what I get..." Argen frowned and exited the panels
