C64 Help!
After that, Zhan Tianming went to pay his respects to Mu Hai.
Mu Hai was one of the few people in the village who treated him well.
"Third Uncle Mu, I have avenged you. Rest in peace."
He offered three incense sticks to Mu Hai.
Liu Yu also paid his respects and lit three incense sticks.
If Mu Hai had not pushed him to hide at that time, he probably would not have been able to escape death.
Toward Mu Hai, Liu Yu had nothing but respect and a heartfelt appreciation.
After returning home, Zhan Tianming tried to get rid of all the sadness and grief he felt.
He opened the system interface to look at his gains.
After so many upgrades and new systems' activation, the interface was no longer simple. Now, it had several sub-systems.
At a glance, it included: Basic System, System Shop, Title System, War Pet System, Beauty System, and Secondary Job System.
In addition, I could see some grayed-out system interfaces which I couldn't use for now.
"Title System!"
Swish!
The Basic System interface turned into the Title System's interface.
Now, apart from the "glorious" Caterpillar Killer title, Zhan Tianming also had another title.
Honorable Village Chief: Speaking with true qi imbued in your voice can increase deterrence by 15 points.
"Deterrence?"
Zhan Tianming was startled.
He quickly flipped back to the Basic System interface.
As expected...
Apart from the usual attributes, there was one more attribute.
Fear: 5
After roughly learning the Honorable Village Chief title's effects, Zhan Tianming opened up the system space
"Small Revitalizing pill, True Qi pill, and Hundred Flower Jade Dew pill."
Looking at the few round pills in his bag, Zhan Tianming thought for a second before taking out the Small Revitalizing pill.
He received this after killing Zhan Qian.
"Open the Alchemist interface."
Swish!
The Basic System interface changed to the Secondary Job System interface.
Zhan Tianming read the instructions regarding the Alchemist profession before placing the pill in the system's Pill Cauldron.
"Ding, dong!"
"Disintegrate the Small Revitalizing pill?"
"Disintegrate."
Buzz!
After consuming exactly 100 points of true qi, a ball of dense spirit energy came out from the Pill Cauldron.
"Ding, dong!"
"Disintegration complete. You've obtained the Small Revitalizing pill recipe."
"Rating: Small Revitalizing pill, Yellow Grade pill. The pill has 70% purity. The purity can be improved."
Zhan Tianming was startled.
'It can actually be improved?
'Good!'
'Divine Dragon's Supreme fuckin' System indeed!'
"Improve."
"Improving this formula will cost you 100 Dragon Qi points. Please confirm your decision."
"What?"
Zhan Tianming glared at the interface.
"Holy hell!"
"Improving a Yellow Grade pill recipe actually costs 100 Dragon Qi points?"
"Why don't you just rob me!"
Even as he cursed the system, he used the system shop to look for the Small Revitalizing pill's recipe.
Ordinary Small Revitalizing pill recipe: 50 Dragon Qi.
Perfect Small Revitalizing pill recipe: 120 Dragon Qi.
'Fine!'
Zhan Tianming finally understood.
In a way, upgrading the inferior recipe actually gave him a 20 Dragon Qi point discount.
"Just take it. Don't notify me, you thief. Just take my money!"
After witnessing a bit of Zhan Tianming's melodrama, the system consumed the Dragon Qi points and upgraded the Ordinary pill recipe to the Perfect pill recipe.
Zhan Tianming then disintegrated the True Qi pill and the Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill to obtain their recipes; they were the ordinary versions, though.
Soon, he found their perfect version in the system shop. Looking at their absurd price, he decided to just improve them too.
So, he spent another chunk of his Dragon Qi point reserve on upgrading the two recipes.
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, your secondary occupation Alchemy has been upgraded. You are now a Level-1 Alchemist."
Hearing the system's notification, Zhan Tianming nodded his head in satisfaction.
"At least I didn't spend 300+ Dragon Qi points in vain."
Right now, he had two of all three pills—one original and one he created. And he simply put them all away.
After all, even if he wanted to upgrade his Alchemy skill, he had no herbs or pills to experiment on.
"Let's sleep!"
With a bang, Zhan Tianming fell to his bed.
It had been many days since he had a good night's sleep. As soon as he laid down, he immediately felt the tiredness wash over him
"Phew... Phew..."
Zhan Tianming quickly fell asleep.
Several days later, within the Purple Cloud Mountain:
Zhan Tianming shuttled back and forth in the forest, the flying stones in his hands whizzing through the air.
He was like a ghost.
Fast!
Very fast!
Right now, he was even faster than some supercars.
Swish, swish, swish...
Swish, swish, swish...
"Ding, dong..."
"Ding, dong..."
"Ding, dong..."
The system beeped continuously.
Zhan Tianming's Nine Dragons Aim and Nine Dragons Step were being upgraded steadily.
Occasionally, he would run into a few strong vicious beasts, but Zhan Tianming would end the fight with single Proud Dragon Repents. When that mighty palm attack was thrown out, no ordinary vicious beast could resist it. He would kill them with a single stroke and enjoy the rewards.
Currently, Zhan Tianming's system space was practically filled to the brim.
301 pieces of rabbit meat.
260 pieces of rat meat.
512 pieces of pork.
119 pieces of venison...
Looking at the pile of treasures, Zhan Tianming was very satisfied.
Moreover, since this collection of meats was in the system space, he didn't have to worry about it rotting.
'Awesome! Too awesome!'
Right now, Zhan Tianming was not only wandering around the mountain close to the Nanqing Village, but he was also wandering around the outskirts of the nearby mountains.
"It should be the mines of Beiqing Village up ahead, right?"
Zhan Tianming raised his head and looked at a large, natural hole on the mountain cliff far away.
'Let's go!'
After entering the cave, he found that there were many forks on the road.
Zhan Tianming casually picked one, walked in, took out a hoe from the system space, and started digging.
Even after digging for a while, he noticed no response from the system.
Zhan Tianming moved to another place.
He once again started swinging his hoe. (Editor Note: This was not intentional.)
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has activated the secondary job Mining."
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has found iron ore. Proficiency +1."
"Ding, dong!"
"Proficiency +1."
"Ding, dong!"
"Haha! This is growing fast." Zhan Tianming laughed.
Even though his face was a little dirty, he was still happy.
After a while, he couldn't get any more ore from here. So, he switched over to another place and continue digging.
Half a day passed quickly.
"Ding, dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has found copper ore. Proficiency +1."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming you are now Level-1 miner."
"Upgraded? Alright!"
''Let's continue.'
Initially, Zhan Tianming knew nothing about mining. However, as his level rose, Zhan Tianming realized his mining knowledge had gone through some changes. Curiously, he now knew some strange details about mining. Like, how to choose a mining location.
When he dug following that knowledge, the number of ores he could get from a single place increased exponentially.
In this world, copper was much more expensive than iron.
By the time the sky darkened, Zhan Tianming was already a Level-2 miner.
Zhan Tianming decided to stop for today.
It was getting dark. It was time to go back.
Leaving the cave, Zhan Tianming activated Nine Dragons Step, flying straight for the Nanqing Village.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Zhan Tianming looked to the east.
100 kilometers to the east was Meng Yuan City.
Meng Yuan City was one of the defensive cities around Linjiang City and was also the closest city to the Nanqing Village.
"I can no longer store stull in the system space. Gotta take a trip to Meng Yuan City."
Muttering to himself, Zhan Tianming headed towards the east.
All this time, he had a slight problem with the system.
The system only sold things to Zhan Tianming and refused to buy anything from him.
Otherwise, he would've long since thrown all that stull into the system shop.
'Fine.'
'If you won't accept it, I'll sell it in the city.'
'That should be fine, right?'
Along the way, whenever he met some mosquitoes or similar insects, a flying stone would accurately shoot them down.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, but mosquitoes here could kill people.
Each mosquito was the size of a palm.
It was terrifying to look at.
It was nighttime, and Zhan Tianming still had not arrived at Meng Yuan City, so he started a bonfire on the roadside.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Little Purple's voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, wake up. Something's wrong!"
Suddenly, Zhan Tianming woke up from his stupor.
At this moment, a voice came through the darkness of the night.
"Help!"
