Chapter 23: A Sudden Surprise by the System.
----
Kent laying on his bed. Hey System, open the system window let me see what's new there.
Kent sees everyone as usual. Nothing changes. What the….system what did you upgrade? You took so long for nothing?
System notifications comes-
New skills Appraisal added into the system.
Note: Based on the level it will cost SP of different amounts.
Ohh. I got a new skill but it cost SP. Damn you system, why are you so weird? Can't you just give me the skill for free.
Kent wanted to see if there was anything New inside the shop.
Shop | Lottery | Income History | Chat Group 🔒
There's a new option in the system. What is this chat group? Why is there a lock sign on it?
Kent tried multiple times to enter the Chat Group window but each time a message came.
Level is low. Level is low. Level is low.
System what's this tells me. 💢
Ding!
Host can't join any chat group until host cultivation reaches LEVEL C.
So you are saying you took two days to upgrade, just to tell me that I am weak? 😶
Let's check the shop. Nothing new there. Only two items as usual.
Spiritual point: 156,789 sp.
Spiritual fruit.Physique enhancement fruit.
Kent cursing system multiple times fell asleep.
The next morning sunlight comes bashing Kent from the window. He wakes up, cooks food then gets ready for school.
Outside under the morning sunlight the old man Xian Yu is practicing his sword moves.
In the clear sky birds were flying. The old man finished his practice. But suddenly he heard Kent saying bye to Nima.
He quickly gets back to practicing pose(acting)to impress Kent.
Whooshing!!! Whooshes!!!
Kent said good morning Mr: Xian Yu. How are you doing?
Xian Yu, gets shocked by Kent First approach.
Haaahhh!!!!
Goodnight Kent. Ahem! I mean Good morning.
Then Kent said. Mr: Xian Yu, your sword technique looks pretty cool. 😎
The old eye becomes sparkly listening to that, he jumps near Kent. You like it right? It's pretty cool. Want to learn it? I will teach you all the cool moves.
Kent said I want to but I have a problem. The thing is…
Xian Yu replied in excitement. It doesn't matter what the problem is. There's nothing which can make me stop from teaching you. I can solve all problems.
I know you Kent old man talking to himself. Zhou tolde everything, you like money a lot. Just say it…. Say it, how much money you want to solve your problems.
Tell me and I will make it happen. Xian Yu said to Kent.
Kent said it's nothing big for you I know. The thing is I was wondering how good your academic results were?
Xian Yu said, back in the old days. I used to be the top genius of my class. I know everything, in every subject I got A+ results.
OH! That's excellent 👌. I knew I made the right choice asking you.
The old man realised Kent is upto no good. He is definitely planning something extreme.
Mr. Xian Yu. I will have time to practice swords if you could take over as Nima's tutor.
You know most of my free time goes to teaching her. You can tutor her when I am at the school. You are very old. She can also look after you if you trip and fall by mistake. 🫢
+999 SP from Xian Yu. (Shocked)
Kent held his laugh. He is amused by his own joke. With a sparkling eye Kent yelled. Nima…. Nima! comes out.
Thud!
She kicked the door. She doesn't want to study at all. She yelled at Kent you….You stone heart brothers.
💢I can't watch my anime and drama, now you want to study all day? She listened to the entire conversation pecking from the window.
+999 SP copied from Nima.( Anger)
Meanwhile Kent said, old man you don't know how lucky you are. My little sister is a super nice girl. You wouldn't find anyone like her in the entire city.
Old man saw everything. Xian Yu said. You are right I can't find anyone like her who could kick the door with that much force.
Kent tells me the truth is an awakened person too? She became a cultivator at such a young age? Both of you siblings are incredible.
🤫 Shh old man. No one knows about that. I want to keep it that way. I want people to disturb me by asking for my sister to join some clan or organisation.
In the background Nima is becoming a wild beast. While Kent and Xian Yu are talking happily.
Why did you call me Kent? What do you want?
Nima from now on when I am at the school you could go to aunt Zhou house. You always wanted to do that right. 👍🏻
Don't fool me Kent. I am not a little kid you will fall for your tricks.
+666 SP copied from Nima. ( Frustration)
Nima if you don't listen to me. I will not make any fried rice and noodles for three months. Decide what you want to do now. 😤
Kent talking to himself. You have no idea how hard I worked to make this old man into a tutor. It's a free tutor. It will save me a lot of money.
Nima gave in to the Kent order. She is staring angry at the old man. She wanted to beat the old if possible.
The old man stared at her back thinking. Why is she looking at me like that? I am the victim here.
Kent left, giving Nima's hand into the old man's hands. Saying goodbye. Have fun.🫢 😁
Nima entered Zhou house. Aunty Zhou, what are you doing? She says ohh look who is here.
Want to eat something? Come in, let me give you some snacks to eat.
Aunty from now on I will study with your husband. After that can I watch TV? I haven't watched my anime and drama since TV broke.
"Of course you can. But only after studying."
Nima ate snacks with big bites.
Yum!!! Yum!!!
Take you time kid. Xian Yu said. Don't choke on it. Damnit. I wanted to find an apprentice. But ended up becoming a babysitter.
Wait a minute. It's not a bad idea. She is more talented than Kent.
Heh Heh Heh! 😈
I get two disciples in this way. I will teach both the siblings by sword technique.
Meanwhile Kent on the streets. Received system notifications.
Congratulations host for completing the first mission.
Reward: Spiritual clock. (A clocking ability)
Use: Can create a spiritual energy clock with host spiritual energy. It can be used as defence. Also act as a spiritual sense blocker.
Can be taught to people who are blood related.
Let's Get back to when Kent wakes up in this morning. After waking up he was rubbing his eyes and scratching his head. Kent stand up from his bed and suddenly he received a mission from the system.
Ding!
Mission: Find a tutor for Nima.
Reward: ???
Time: One day.
What the… The system has given me a mission now. Is it because of your upgrade system? Answer me.
Ding! System will be more active now.
From now on the system will give the host some missions to complete. Must complete the mission.Some mission will have a time limit. Host can't refuse any mission.
Failure is deduction of SP. (Amount based on the tasks)
What should I do? The system finally gets like manga and novels giving tasks. But it adds some weird conditions.
I can't refuse a mission. If I can't complete it, I have given my hard earned SP. No you system.
I will never let you take my SP. I need to find a tutor quickly. Kent comes up with a plan to trap old man Xian Yu.
Back to the current time. I have to test my new techniques or skill. I haven't even even checked Appraisal yet. Now I got a new one.
I am more happy to get the spiritual clock than Appraisal. It's free to use. Ha ha ha. It only costs spiritual energy.
Back at the Aunt Zhou house. Xian Yu was teaching Nima. He says to Nima you have good, hard writing. You could become a calligraphy writer.
Nima asked dose they earn enough money?
Not really. Only a handful of them can earn money. Rest people do it as a hobby.
Then I don't want to. I want money. I will sell at the market like Kent. It made us survive till now. Nima said.
Old man doesn't know how to respond. He thinks those kids suffer a lot. I will help them as much as possible until I die.
Damn it why kids' subjects are so different then when I was a kid. I will teach Kent this no not this …that one today when he comes back from school.
