~~~~~~~~~~~
Not far away, there was Da Chun tenaciously training with his barbaric method, as jin was getting closer to the camp;
However, in the way, he got hit by an unexpected message.
< New Quest available>
Suprise prowled his face; after all, he just progressed to the second grade, not a long ago.
Questioning the system motive, he commenced a conversation, « What the heck System? How Am I supposed to do that in just two short months? I only have a few XP points currently!»
Jin's face brightened upon hearing the quest.
«Oh, Nice! Now we're back in business, but wait, can you tell me more about the villain's whereabouts in the story? I should collect some data to make a plan.»
He confusedly asked, «Why?»
Jin no longer restained his words inside of his brain but let out a hopeless cry instead."Shit!"
«That man really figured out this world the best! Well, let me hear what I can listen to, for now; I can't really let myself be thrown with something that I can't control or alter.»
«Damn! If I didn't have you, my beloved system, I would've definitely stolen his chance, and as I predict, I should not touch it, right?»
Silence followed the system statements, but before jin can utter anything, the system continued.
«I see,»
A scheme crossed jin mind; the idea grew more clearer, decidedly triggered a smirk on his lofty face.
"Let me see; the villain isn't like Xia; he will only appreciate practical favors, then he will definitely be thankful if I pretend to guide him to the tomb with some bullshit excuse, helping him on the way, as I slowly influence his subconscious ego, making him deliberately think that I'm more of a "brother." even though his conscious won't approve of it. Still, nobody can fight his deeper instincts, right?"
"Tsk! Very unpredictable prosecution; but, I still have a couple of months to think about it."
Blowing his breath in the mention of that troublesome name, he rang, "Nevertheless, I decided this week will be all to collect money so that we can buy all the needed necessities for the lengthy expedition,"
Disconnecting his sense from his inner mind, he headed straight to Chun's location.
....
"Bang"
"Bang Bang"
"Tolerate! Everything to become Stronger! I must not grow a weakling" Chun hitting the tree as hard as he could, feeling his knuckles shatter under his skin, but the hatred and collective grief of the years of suffering he gone through toughened his perseverance to an unmatched level.
Reaching his usual spot to train, I glanced and saw the grisly scene unfold; starting up my plan, for the first time I decided to help him.
Shouting, "That only bringing you more harm than good,"
He grimaced, putting a loathful expression on his face, like he already knew I was there, "You finally decided to say something! How come you didn't utter a word the first time you were here? Is it Sympathy?" his ink-black eyes glinted upon saying the last word.
«Hm, he's too proud to take advice from someone his age,» I thought.
"Do you sense any pity in my eyes?" I replied, I wasn't lying the only motive in my head is to use him to farm XP, pettiness, or whatever it called, can screw it, mother.
Chun looked deeply at jin violet valley like eyes, not dictating any aura of degrading inside of them. Humphing, he ignored him stubbornly, proceeding to hit the tree.
"I only have few words for you, and I will make my leave; training like this won't higher your technique or strength; it is just harming your body; if you have some self-awareness, this information would be already known by someone of your caliber."
Saying my last advice, I turned my body, leaving him to his own judgment; I wasn't a babysitter after all.
But before I took my fourth step, he hesitantly said, "What should I do then?"
From his rough adenoidal tone, I felt like that little phrase got out with a laborious effort.
Knowing that he won't accept my help easily, I emphasized on the concept of mutual benefits, and to be honest; it's time for me to work someone like a dog too, "Stop from now and take a rest; you should come with me tomorrow, and I will help you train, and in return, you aid me to sell some stuff."
He faintly closed his eyes, thinking about my offer.
Then, after a few seconds, he nodded his head, not looking at my eyes.
I left the scene heading to rest; in my way, I cursed the boy.
«What the heck? I wasn't expecting a hug, but can you at least sat a proper answer.»
But a pleasant surprise refreshed my fate on him.
