'What is the best place to put my points?' Xu Tian calmly asked the system.
*Host, I suggest that you save your points, especially skill points, till you have enough to get your skills to max lvl, which is lvl 10, but the host does not need to listen to the opinion of the system*
'Then I shall listen to you and go with your suggestion.' Xu Tian said politely and calmly to the system.
*Thank you for listening, host*
'Hey, system, can you wake me up at sunrise?' Asked Xu Tian since he needed to get his new body on schedule with how it once was.
*Yes, host, I can do that, and if you so choose to wake up almost instantly, I can put you into a deep sleep, and you will wake up when you want*
'Oh well, please put me into a deep sleep then system and wake me up at sunrise.' Xu Tian told the system politely.
*As host commands*
Soon after the system said this, Xu Tian closed his eyes and lay there in a very unpleasant position. Once it was sunrise, Xu Tian started to stir and wake up.
"Man, that felt great, and I feel so refreshed." Xu Tian said aloud, and the few people awake and going to their jobs looked at him as if he was still uncomfortable.
'Hey, system, why do I feel so refreshed when laying down like this?' Xu Tian asked the system when he noticed how he was lying.
*Host has very high Defense and Stamina, which heals you and makes your body receive any damage and blocks it.*
'Okay, I think I understand a little.' Xu Tian said in slight understanding.
'System, how am I supposed to lvl up?' Xu Tian asked curiously.
*Host can kill all living things, so anything will give host exp to lvl up, and the host must know that you will be able to play VR games and also get exp*
'So are you telling me that this game works inside a game?' Xu Tian asked very curiously.
*Yes, host, that is what the system is trying to say*
'That's so cool. I can't wait, but first, I need a hunter ID to enter the dungeons.' Xu Tian thought about what he should do for this day to achieve what his friend needs help with along with the whole of humanity.
*Host, I recommend hiding your true strength and aiming to be at least a B-rank hunter.*
'Okay, system, but how do I do that?' Xu Tian asked in a curious tone, as he had no idea.
*The system can make your stats go to a certain point and will hide the rest of the host's stats.*
'Then please decrease my power to a B rank hunter system.' Xu Tian asked but also told the system to do so.
*As host wishes*
"Now, shall we go to the Hunter Association and get an ID." Xu Tian spoke out loud so people on the sidewalk could briefly hear him while walking by.
After saying this sentence, Xu Tian rushed off to the Hunter Association building in the middle of the city. The Association is in the center of the town so if something happens it will be easier to reach those places in all directions.
Xu Tian finally arrived at the Hunter Association after an hour of walking there. He stepped inside and saw the registration clerk behind a desk looking at him in disgust. However, he did not care and still walked over to her to register.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm here to register as a hunter, so how should I register." Xu Tian asked very respectfully to the woman who was still looking at him in disgust.
"Why is it that I'm always stuck with poor loser people to attend to, and this one is way worse than the others I have to attend to, but at least he is handsome to make up for it; however, this sucks." The clerk had said out loud, so the people nearby had heard her saying this.
"Ma'am, that is no way you are supposed to treat someone you have just met, and you also shouldn't judge someone by their cover. You will reflect on this moment and regret what you have just said, which could be today." Xu Tian said in a not-so-respectful tone as the lady had him.
"Funny kid, but the only people that could do that are of B rank and higher; however, you won't be able to get that rank as you will be getting the lowest rank in the Association cause just look at you." The lady had said in a vulgar tone.
"Listen here, lady, I'm here to register for a hunter's ID and not bicker with you, so if I were you, I'd change my tone quickly." Xu Tian said calmly but rudely while looking towards the manager walking over.
"Excuse me, sir. Is everything okay over here? As I can see, you're having a dispute with our registration lady." The manager asked after walking over while hearing all the bickering.
"Sir, it is not as if this lady is being vulgar and judging me by my appearance when I can her to get an ID and not getting ridiculed by some desk lady." Xu Tian said in a respectful tone with a tinge of annoyance.
"Well, I am very sorry about that, sir, and I'll take you to be tested immediately for your ID, and I'll personally do it because of how you have been treated today, and I will teach her some manners afterward." The manager said respectfully back and glaring at the lady while saying the last part.
After what he needed, the manager walked away while waving for Xu Tian to follow him, so of course, he did. The manager was taking Xu Tian to the testing room to get tested for his rank. When Xu Tian got inside the room, he looked at what he was supposed to be tested with, which was a pod mainly used for VR games.
"So, how does this work?" Xu Tian asked in a calm but confused voice.
"Well, sir, you go ahead and step into the pod and get comfortable while I start the computing process. Then, once it's done, it will scan your body and brain waves. Then the process will be finished, and you will get your rank after coming out of the pod." The manager said as if he was the one that had made the pod.
"I understand; thank you for explaining it to me." Xu Tian thanked the manager in a more pleasant tone.
"Well, sir, shall we get started with the test." The manager asked in a friendly tone.
"Yes, I think we shall." Xu Tian said while getting into the pod and trying to get in a comfortable spot.
After getting a comfortable spot, Xu Tian nodded to the manager to start the test. When the manager got to the queue, he started the test, and the pod closed and sent Xu Tian's subconscious into a white room. After looking around, he was trying the system.
"Hey, system, how long do you think this will take, and am I still B rank right now." Xu Tian asked the system for confirmation.
*Host the process with finish in 30 seconds, and yes, host your stats are of B rank, so the host must not worry.*
Xu Tian had stopped talking and just waited after getting confirmation. Once done, he came out and saw that the manager's face was agape and joyful.
"Is everything okay, sir? Is everything alright?" Xu Tian asked the manager to bring him back to reality and wipe the drool from his mouth.
"Oh yes, everything is okay. I'm just delighted as I will get a ranker on my contribution thanks to you, sir." The manager said very joyfully back to Xu Tian.
"So what's my rank to make you like this?" Xu Tian had asked seriously.
"You are an A-rank hunter, so I shall go get your ID and report this to my boss, so please don't go anywhere." The manager told Xu Tian.
'System, what in the world is happening, and why did he say I was an A rank.' Xu Tian asked the system.
*The system had made the host be at the peak of B rank, and the pod does not have an accurate assessment chip, so the host is of A-rank*
'Oh, okay, I understand, system; thank you for explaining it to me.' Xu Tian had told his system that he was growing fond of it.
*The host is very welcome*
After Xu Tian's small exchange with the system, the manager returned with a tall, burly man with very bulky muscles that seemed as if they would rip the man's suit into pieces. Once the two had entered, the manager bowed to the man and silently exited the room with a nervous but excited look.
"Now that he's gone, young man, shall we get to business." The tall, burly man with a high figure in the Association said.
"Yes, we shall; however, you did not introduce yourself yet." Xu Tian said in a severe and respectful tone.
"My apologies, friend. My name is Admiral Bartholemu, but most people call me Admiral Bart as it is easier. So, regarding your ID, you will have it by the end of our talk." Admiral Bart introduced himself and said what his many years had taught him about what was on others' minds.
"So, shouldn't we go somewhere else as this room is inadequate for an important talk, don't you think, Admiral?" Xu Tian said seriously.
"I think you are right, so shall we go to my office and talk." Admiral Bart wholeheartedly agreed with Xu Tian.
The two then left the room to go to the Admiral's office. To get there, they needed to get on an elevator. Once at the elevator, the two were immediately stopped by a woman dressed in all black with waist-length wavy brunette hair.
"Admiral Bart, where are you taking this boy?" The woman had said in a very displeasing tone while looking at Xu Tian with interest and displeasure as if he was a bug that had just landed in her food.
"Well, Admiral Smith, I am taking him to my office to have an important talk and to give him his Hunters ID." Admiral Bart had said in a severe and displeased tone.
"If you're personally doing this, it would mean that he is of A rank or higher to make you come out here and do it personally." Admiral Smith said while looking at Xu Tian with a slightly more pleasant look than she was before.
"May you step aside so I can do my job." Admiral Bart said to Admiral Smith in a reasonably aggressive voice.
"Oh, mister, aggressive here trying to get me to back away." Admiral Smith said, play-acting scared.
"Lady, please move so Admiral Bart and I may get to business." Xu Tian said calmly and thoughtfully while looking at her with some killing intent.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Admiral Smith screamed while her mind was going blank and losing control of her body while starting to shed tears.
After saying that, she fell on her but crawled away as far as she could from Xu Tian as it felt like she would be swallowed whole by a Demon. Then Xu Tian and Admiral Bart got into the elevator while looking at what Admiral Bart was doing, which was putting a passcode to the elevator dial that would send him and Xu Tian to his office.
While doing all this, the Admiral started to watch out for Xu Tian as he felt a sliver of Xu Tian's killing intent, which sent him signals to run away from him; however, he did not and just stood there as he couldn't run from a newly awakened.
After Admiral Bart put in the passcode, the room teleported them into an office, which Xu Tian could only assume was the Admiral.
"Is this place adequate for the talk, Mr. Xu?" Admiral Bart asked.
"Yes, it is, and it would also appear to seem that your intelligence department is speedy. So what is it that we must talk about?" Xu Tian had said and asked the Admiral.
"Well, how about the good or bad news first of the information you will receive, which is classified information that only rank A or higher have to know about." Admiral Bart asked and explained.
"How about the bad news first, Admiral." Xu Tian said, choosing the one he would need to know.
"Well, Mr. Xu, there will be a war against a big horde of monsters from many dungeon breaks outside our reach. We need many to gather every rank A and higher hunter to help deal with this horde of monsters." The Admiral said seriously to Xu Tian.
"That is pretty bad; however, Admiral, I must tell you I am hiding my true strength, and you may be confused by me saying this, but you should know that I'm not lying to you." Xu Tian said to the Admiral, who had a look of disbelief.
"Knock"
"Knock"
"Knock"
"Cough... Yes, who is it?" The Admiral said, clearing his throat, getting out of his haze, and asking the person through the door.
"It's me, sir. I came with the Hunter ID for Mr. Xu that you had requested." Said what seemed to be a young woman from the person's voice on the other side of the door, which was light and soothing.
"Oh yes, please come in, Secretary Kim, and hand Mr. Xu his ID." Admiral Bart told the woman on the other side of the door.
Once he got permission, Secretary Kim opened the door and looked at Xu Tian. She immediately looks away from him with her ears getting red while walking towards him with a small black box. Xu Tian looked at the girl with a petite figure that had a natural burgundy color hair that piqued Xu Tian's interest in her.
"H-H-Here you go, Mr. Xu." Secretary Kim stuttered while handing Xu Tian the small black box.
"Thank you, Secretary Kim." Xu Tian said, thanking her in a pleasant, calm tone and a smirk on his face that caused her to be even more flustered to where her whole face was turning red.
After her face turned red, Secretary Kim immediately ran out of the office, causing Xu Tian to laugh.
