C104 Leveling Up with the Experience Potion
“Ding dong!”
“Congratulations, Zhan Tianming, for completing the quest of impersonating a suitor. Obtained: 100,000 Experience Values, 1,000 Dragon Qis, 5 affability level with Feng Wushuang.”
Zhan Tianming grinned happily, lavishly praising Feng Wushuang some more, then turned around and left.
Zhan Tianming checked the Beauty System interface to have a look.
Beauty: Feng Wushuang
Age: 17
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Boby evaluation: 95 points
Appearance Rating: 70 points
Description: The County Princess of Phoenix Cry County was born with a phoenix and a song map. The owner of this diagram will be able to reach brand-new life after the phoenix’s Nirvana Rebirth. However, if the phoenix’s attempt at Nirvana Rebirth fails, it will turn into ashes.
Favorability towards the host: 5
“What can this mean?”
Staring down at this description, Zhan Tianming could not help but feel shocked.
Feng Wushuang knew the Phoenix Rebirth technique?
Success with obtaining a new life, among others.
Failure would mean turning into ashes!
Oh my god!
What exactly is this Nine Dragons Continent? Why so many strange things occurring at once?
It was one thing for the nine great races to exist side by side in this world.
It’s also fine if he meets some sort of divine creature on his journey.
But who would have thought this creature would be the Phoenix Nirvana Rebirth?
“It’s no wonder.”
Zhan Tianming could not help but mutter to himself.
Now he finally understood why even Feng Wushuang, who wasn’t any particular beauty, would be included in the Beauty System. It turned out that Feng Wushuang was able to undergo a phoenix rebirth.
If such a transformation was successful, Feng Wushuang’s approval of his looks will probably reach new heights, right?
Well, as it should be.
Zhan Tianming nodded his head.
However, getting a beauty in his arms was easier said than done.
According to the system prompt, his affability level would have to be at least 100 before he could possibly win her over.
The word “possibly” made Zhan Tianming very unhappy.
Darn it!
His affability level was already at a 100, but that still didn’t guarantee a 100% rate of success?
This is impossible.
Furthermore, thinking back, at that time, Fu Shiyao’s affability level had risen to 10, but now, Feng Wushuang’s affability level was at only 5.
There was still a ways before reaching the legendary 100 points of affability level.
The secret mission of the Prince’s Mansion was looking better and better by the minute.
As long as he completed it, Zongzheng Wanyou’s affability level would immediately rise to 50.
This was much faster than slowly working on the affability level of Fu Shiyao and Feng Wushuang.
However, this [A] class mission would prove difficult to complete.
Zhan Tianming was already picturing in his head how many people along the way would come chasing after them.
This journey will have many twists and turns.
However...
For the one he loved, so what if he had to face a mountain full of blades or a sea of flames?
This brother will take on the challenge!
In order to make it up to Feng Wushuang, Zhan Tianming retrieved a good amount of medicinal ingredients from the courtyard and brought them into the house. Then he proceeded to refine them.
“Pill forging!”
“Ding dong…”
“Pill forging!”
“Ding dong…”
“...”
Zhan Tianming continued to hone his skills, steadily improving his proficiency in pill refinement at the same time.
Four hours later, Zhan Tianming finally finished his task.
Taking that moment to raise his hand, he proceeded to wipe the sweat off his wet forehead.
“Phew… I’m exhausted.”
However, looking at the large pile of Floral Jade Pills, Zhan Tianming could not help but feel pleased.
Since he was still in debt to Feng Wushuang, he had decided to help her refine as many pills as possible.
Feng Wushuang would appreciate this gesture.
After that, Zhan Tianming began packing all the pills into boxes.
A servant was called over.
“Tomorrow morning, I need you to hand this over to County Princess Wushuang, understand?” Zhan Tianming said.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Zhan. I will definitely deliver this package to County Princess Wushuang personally,” the servant replied.
The servant’s obedience did not come unrewarded. Zhan Tianming gifted him with 10 taels of silver to ensure he does a good job completing the task.
The servant walked away with a bounce in his step.
“I have to check something.”
Zhan Tianming activated the Supreme Dragon God System.
After opening it, he took a look.
Although he had just recently obtained a 100,000 Experience Value, he still needed a lot more points before he reached the Five Star Martial Practitioner status.
However, his Dragon Qi had already reached 1981 points.
“I don’t know. What should I buy?”
Muttering this over to himself, Zhan Tianming once more opened up the Merchant Shop System to have a look.
He ignored the numbers that carried a long string of zeros, instead pulling down the bar and flipping it over.
Very quickly, he pulled down the tab at the end.
Zhan Tianming’s eyes swept through the items listed.
“Sigh, I’m devastated at how poor I am.”
With everything valued at 2,000 Dragon Qi points, anything that caught his eye was impossible to purchase.
In the end, a bottle of medicine caught Zhan Tianming’s eye.
“Experience Potion?”
Zhan Tianming immediately checked the bottle's description.
“A bottle of Experience Potion can increase the Host by 100,000 Experience Value. Right now, I am still about 500,000 away from becoming a Five Star Martial Practitioner. That means with five bottles of Experience Potion I can up my game, and the price…”
“Haha, finally something good has landed my way!”
Zhan Tianming was overjoyed.
This was because a bottle of Experience Potion was valued at only 100 Dragon Qi.
He didn’t even bat an eyelash as he exchanged the 5 bottles of Experience Potions with his points.
Entering the Experience Potion into the system.
“Ding dong! Experience level increased by 100,000 points.”
Entering the Experience Potions into the system.
“Ding dong…”
Five Experience Potions disappeared one by one.
“Ding dong!”
“Congratulations, Zhan Tianming for leveling up to a Five Star Martial Practitioner, with two Attribute Points.”
Checking the system again, the True Essence Upper Limit had risen to 1950 points and Zhan Tianming was currently on his way with two more additional attributes added to his inventory.
He checked the databases again.
To reach a Six Star Martial Practitioner, he would need an entire 800,000 Experience Value.
Without any dallying around, Zhan Tianming immediately brought another 8 bottles of Experience Potions. However, he waited before consuming them.
He would keep the Experience Potions in case of an emergency.
Zhan Tianming had plans for the remaining 681 Dragon Qi.
After all, he needed to bulk up his strength as much as possible.
After looking through the list for a while, the search showed some fruitful results. Zhan Tianming found another item that he needed after searching for five minutes and eight seconds.
“Humph, this is what I need.”
“Buy.”
Without further delay, he made another clean move.
This was very like Zhan Tianming.
But...
“Ai… After working hard for decades collecting all my points, I’m right back to where I first started.”
Zhan Tianming could not help but sigh.
After making all those purchases, he finally saw that a pitiful 5 Dragon Qi was all that was left of his points.
Well, it’ll be a long time before he will be visiting the Merchant Shop again.
No longer perusing through the items on the Merchant Shop System, Zhan Tianming turned it off at once, saving his urge to spend more points.
However, Zhan Tianming was very pleased by the pair of system equipment gloves that he had just purchased.
Item: Iron chain gloves
Level: Superior Grade Yellow Rank
Description: Increases hand defense by 200 points. Increases attack level by 200 points.
“With invisible qualities.”
In an instant, the iron chain gloves were entered into the system interface.
After cleaning up for a bit, Zhan Tianming walked out of the room.
According to their agreement, Luo Ang was already waiting at the back door along with Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang Er.
“Miss, be sure you take care of yourself during this dangerous trip.” Luo Ang warned.
“Housekeeper Luo, don’t make me go. I still want to dress myself in mourning for Father.” Zongzheng Wanyou shook her head unhappily with tear-filled eyes.
“No, Miss, you must leave at once. These are the Prince’s wishes. If you wish for the spirit of the Prince in heaven to be at rest, you must not prolong your stay here.” Luo Ang knew what was on Zongzheng Wanyou’s mind, but there was no way he could let Zongzheng Wanyou stay behind.
Finally, he turned his attention to Xiang Er and said, “Xiang Er, be sure you take care of Little Miss, understand?”
“Xiang Er understands.” Xiang Er nodded her head.
After that, it was Zhan Tianming’s turn.
“Young Master Zhan, I’ll leave this to you.”
