"Those words from Dad are tough. He said no one should know about my system if I had one and did not even expect me to tell him if I had a system.
After Dean returned from the meeting with his family he was lost in thought he could not believe what he was instructed to do. From the start, he knew it was not a good idea to tell others that he had a system that could help him in cultivation but he was not planning to keep that secret from his family. Rather he was now asked by his family to keep his secret and not tell anyone including them.
He took a deep breath feeling things were not as easy as he thought.
"Why are you so worried, they did all that to protect you," Zi said comforting him
"hmmm".. Dean answered lightly, accompanied by nodding his head.
"But from the start you were planning to keep this a secret so just pretend like they never tell you anything, the more you are acting like you are hiding something the more they will know".
Zi said lightly which made Dean see Zi in a different light. He felt it was not that bad having something that you talk to almost all the time even if it gets you angry sometimes.
"Father said that those that have a system in them would end up as lab rats to most of the powerful cultivators" Deans started having a serious conversation with Zi
"That there are cultivators and there are system cultivators"
"Cultivators are those that practice by digesting the world essence and turning them into their divine energy and spiritual essence, there process comes with a lot of hard work with great consumption of time".
"While on the other hand those that are backup by the system still practice the same form of cultivation but they are way more faster cause the system will help them to process the world essence and remove all the bad energy that can harm them only leaving those that are going from them.
"Sometimes the system can also store purified energy for them so it will be easy for them to use for future purposes".
"With the system cultivation having access to technique and cultivation method that is tailor suitable for themselves"
"The benefits of the system cultivators are much than that of the normal cultivator, but the thing is that the system cultivator dies quickly because the system would get stronger than its host which is not good for everyone that is in charge of a system"
"And sometimes the system would release some negative charges that are not good for its host leading to some fatal damages.
"The oldest person with a system did not live up to fifty years in a world where one can chase after immortality. Which was out of place.
"And those that had a system, started showing signs of it from age six at maximum with age four being the minimum age".
"It has never occurred that someone at Dean's age was able to activate the system. it will be hard for people to believe that he had one?
"Zi with all this information that I received today does that mean I will die untimely". Dean asked
"die untimely? With me you die any time you want, does that have anything to do with me".
"That means from your answer I will die early so I just have to grow strong and also build a strong force that will be able to protect the Fountain Hilltown from problems," Dean said with seriousness.
"Whatever, are you afraid of death". Zi ask casually.
"Me" Dean asks while laughing lightly before he continues to speak.
"Am not afraid of death, in fact, I am grateful to live a little, so I will cherish every moment I have left. No need to waste any of the moments I have left so when I die, I will die with a bright smile on my face.
Dean said with a tone of sincerity, happy to have the chance to live again even if it would be a short one.
"Zi I will need your help. Do you have any training routine for me? I need to build myself" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I have but it won't be easy for you, but I am glad to see that you are filled with the fire of growing yourself". Zi said
"I have been training seriously for years but this time is different I need to grow myself because there will be a lot of trouble coming most from those related to Night Fury that I just killed".
"so we have to prepare for what is going to come, so we won't be taken unaware like what happened some days ago". So let's get to work.
Dean said walking back and forth in his room, he knew he had to grow himself quickly. Without enough strength, he won't be able to protect himself not to think about those around him. So the first thing to do was for him to grow and then look for ways to help the other to achieve some strength.
"Don't worry once we start the training with you, I could also start the process of training people from this town but you will have to work for it you get it".
"Yes u get it I will work hard I won't let you down". Dean replied.
"Am not talking about hard work, I am talking about paying, just take it that am your staff but a high-quality one" Zi said with a vibe of joy coming from their voice.
.
"What! I would have to pay you for rendering help to me. I believe that you have been waiting for so long just to tell me this".
Dean could not help but say he felt depressed. He knows that it would be hard to pay Zi but he will also have to try his best.
"Little lad don't be depressed, there is no free launch in the world".
"so don't expect anything free from anyone you will pay knowing or unknowing understand"
