NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12 - Late system
Unexpectedly, there was an assassin by his side, and it even had the function of enhancing cultivation.
Huang Ye, on the other hand, felt that Qing'er was a gentle presence. When she lay beside him, his desire to cultivate wasn't very strong.
He had heard of dual cultivation techniques, and if such techniques truly existed, they wouldn't be bad.
This way, he could cultivate in various environments.
No rush. Since he hadn't been exposed yet, he could always find a good method for cultivation. A living person can't be stifled by a full bladder.
Since the heavens didn't give him a system, the knowledge from his past life was enough for him to grow.
This information gap was his advantage.
[Congratulations, Master. You have passed the assessment. From now on, I will fully assist you in your growth.]
What was going on? What was this? Huang Ye stared blankly at the text that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Are you a system?" Huang Ye asked skeptically.
[Sorry, I am not a system. I am merely a transporter of knowledge, and I can only assist you in your cultivation.]
[Name: Huang Ye]
[Age: 17]
[Grade: Mortal]
Seeing these lines of text, Huang Ye felt quite pleased. Good things come to those who wait.
It seems the ancients were right: a system may be late, but it never misses an appointment.
With this guy, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation in the future.
But why did this system say that earlier? Better to ask clearly.
"Why did you only appear now? And the way you show text is clearly a system standard. How can you not be a system?"
[Sorry, I am not a system. I am merely a transporter of knowledge, and I can only assist you in your cultivation.]
[The reason I appeared now is that I had to observe your performance over this period to decide whether to follow you.]
"Alright, do you have any newbie gifts, or tasks, or prizes?"
[Sorry, I am not a system. I am merely a transporter of knowledge, and I can only assist you in your cultivation.]
[I don't have any of those things you mentioned.]
"Are you stupid? All you can say is sorry?"
[Sorry, I am not stupid. Your original master is the stupid one!]
"Fine, you're strong, I give up!"
Damn it, just when he set up a grand goal for cultivation, this guy suddenly appeared.
He thought he wouldn't have to cultivate anymore and could rely on the system to dominate!
Turns out this guy is a useless system, offering no benefits, practically worthless.
Damn it, the plot twist is a bit too fast!
And damn it, assist? No gifts, no tasks, still have to rely on self-cultivation. What's the use of you!
"What can you transport?"
[I am a super powerful artificial intelligence, containing a lot of modern technology and knowledge, as well as knowledge from various disciplines.]
"Do you have knowledge on how to cultivate immortality?"
[That I don't have. I am an atheist and do not believe in the existence of immortals.]
"Damn, you're impressive, claiming to be a transporter of knowledge, but you're transporting a bunch of nonsense?"
The system remained silent, almost shedding tears of sadness. It seemed this master was truly a fool, not understanding its power.
"Besides transporting knowledge, what else can you do?"
[Detection, scanning, analysis, calculation, summarization.]
Huang Ye pondered for a moment. These functions seemed somewhat useful.
This system was more like a computer. Having these functions was better than figuring things out blindly.
Forget it, don't expect too much. Having a system is better than struggling alone.
Having the opportunity to cultivate immortality is a good thing. If there's no chance, just treat it as a new life.
Who knows, maybe one day I'll be transported to another place. Let's deal with this place first.
With a creak, the door opened, and Qing'er came in carrying a basin of water.
"Young Master, did you sleep well last night?"
"I didn't sleep last night."
"Oh! Were you worried that Yue'er might harm you?"
"By the way, can you find any information on her?"
"What kind of information is the Young Master asking about?"
"Forget it, don't check. I'll just be careful myself."
"By the way, you're quite familiar with those guards, right?"
"Yes, they treat me well, especially the old guards who watched me grow up."
"The martial arts manual from yesterday was good. Can you find a few more from them?"
"Young Master, that's no problem. As long as they have them, I can definitely borrow them."
"Alright, I can take care of myself here. You don't need to watch over me all the time."
"Okay, I'll go borrow them after preparing your meal."
"Return this one to them. I've already finished reading it." Huang Ye handed the manual to Qing'er.
"Young Master, you should keep it until you've memorized it completely before returning it."
"No need, I've already memorized it."
"Really? So many words, and you've memorized them all?"
"That's right."
"Then I'll keep it for myself. I want to learn some light skills too, so I can help you in the future."
"But I practiced the first level of the technique for half a day yesterday and didn't feel any Qi. Am I stupid?"
Huang Ye's heart stirred. Both of them had read the manual yesterday, yet he felt a strong Qi flow after cultivating.
If it weren't for Yue'er being around, he would have wanted to try it out in the courtyard at midnight.
"Don't worry, you don't understand the structure of the human body yet, so your comprehension is lacking."
"Oh! Does the Young Master know?"
Huang Ye thought for a moment. The system mentioned it had data from various disciplines, so it should be comprehensive in physiology and health.
"I do know a bit. I'll explain it to you when you get back."
"Alright, I'll get you some food first."
Half an hour later, Qing'er returned with a food box.
This time, Huang Ye didn't hold back and finished all the food, watching Qing'er leave.
"System, do you have diagrams of human meridians and acupoints?"
The system didn't reply, but a diagram appeared, showing the meridians and acupoints on the front of the human body, with an arrow on the right side.
"How do I view the next page?"
"Just say what you need, Master."
"Next page!"
The image shifted to show the meridians and acupoints on the back, with arrows on both sides this time.
"Page seven!"
The image shifted again, showing a section of the meridian diagram with the words "Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian" on the left.
Huang Ye was very satisfied. This was a cheat tool!
If he went back to the college entrance examination with this system's assistance, he could choose any prestigious university.
Alas! System, it's a pity you came too late; your usefulness here is much less.
"System, I'll give you a name. From now on, you'll be called Xiaodu."
"Thank you, Master."
Huang Ye returned to the first page and began to comprehend the technique again, using the clear diagrams.
With this clear illustration, he understood how the Qi flow operated.
With such purposeful operation, it felt pretty good.
At lunchtime, Qing'er came over with a food box again, bringing a cloth package as well.
"Young Master, I borrowed two martial arts manuals. I wanted to borrow more, but they said not to learn too much at once."
"They only gave me an internal skill manual and a set of boxing techniques."
Huang Ye was delighted. With an internal skill manual, he could at least start cultivating internal skills, beginning with the basics.
"Alright, these two are enough for now."
He eagerly opened the cloth package, but upon seeing the name of the manual, he was completely dumbfounded.
