How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 84. Insane Woman Alert!

Upon entering the door, Ren Qingchen and Third Princess are separated from each other.

From Ren Qingchen's [Scan], I saw him arrive near a river. There is a group of deers at Body Tempering stages standing more than a hundred meters away from him. All of them are busy drinking water from the river.

When Ren Qingchen saw those deers, he just shook his head while climbing a tree. "It's not time for hunting."

On top of the tree, he raised his head and looked at the sky above. Although Ren Qingchen called this place a secret realm, just like the outside world, there is also sun in the sky above. Furthermore, the sun's location is exactly the same as the outside world.

So, with the guide of the sun, Ren Qingchen found the direction of the south and ran at full speed toward it.

Meanwhile, I placed my attention on Third Princess's [Scan], where I saw her do similar things as Ren Qingchen.

Different from Ren Qingchen. Upon entering the door, she arrived at a slightly open area which allowed her to merely raise her head to see the sky above. After doing a short check at the sky, she immediately ran towards the southern direction.

Following Ren Qingchen's walkthrough, Third Princess reached the edge of that secret realm. On the edge of the secret realm is an opaque barrier-like thing.

Based on the result of [Scan]. If seen from Third Princess's current location, everyone will only see a continuation of the forest they are at. But, once my [Scan] passes through the barrier with some difficulties, what I sensed is nothingness. It is an empty space similar to the Consciousness Space I am in, with occasional flickering lights in it.

That's right, that empty space is exactly the same as the location I last saw Azure Emperor at, or the location where the Heavenly Will usually throws the thing it swallowed through space crack.

During the time I checked the outside of that barrier with my [Scan], I saw Third Princess placed her hand on it. Once her hand touched the opaque barrier, faint ripples appeared on it and spread for a short distance.

With her sense of curiosity fulfilled, Third Princess continued her journey following Ren Qingchen's guide before they entered the inheritance site.

From her current location, she walked slightly to the north and searched the surrounding areas.

Soon, At the edge of Third princess's [Scan], I saw a massive bronze gate that's incredibly out of place from the surrounding scenery. It stood alone there with neither wall, cave, or any sort of construct behind it.

No wonder Ren Qingchen called it the kind of entrance one won't miss. The bronze gate is huge, incredibly huge!

From a short estimate, it is at least ten meters wide, as for the height, I am not even sure because it already reached beyond Third Princess's low leveled [Scan].

While she circled the bronze gate in curiosity, Ren Qingchen appeared soon after.

Due to Ren Qingchen's subsystems being level 4, his [Scan] is much stronger than Third Princess's. Thanks to that, I can finally see the door's complete form.

It is a 10 meters wide and 20 meters tall bronze door. On it, similar engraving to the stone door which leads to the inheritance site can be seen. The only difference being a number written on it. Right now, the number written there is '0/4'.

When Ren Qingchen saw the number, he looked a bit confused as I heard him mutter. "How come three couples already found the inheritance site at this time. In my past-"

It seems Ren Qingchen finally realized there is another person next to him as he paused midway.

"What should we do now?" Third Princess asked while curiously looking at Ren Qingchen as he muttered to himself. "Also, what are you muttering about?"

"I am just shocked by that number." Ren Qingchen replied while pointing at the '0/4' number. "The 0 there means there aren't any couples who have reached the next test. Meanwhile the 4 written there mean 4 couples inside this inheritance site, which is extremely weird!"

Third Princess asked. "Why is it weird? Haven't we also arrived at the inheritance site?"

"Yeah, but the inheritance has only been open for one or two days at most. Also, don't you remember how secret the door to enter this inheritance site is?"

"Maybe they also read the book you found?" Third Princess shrugged as she replied.

"Yeah." I saw Ren Qingchen reply while trying to keep a poker face. He then pushed open the door and went inside together with Third Princess.

Pffftt. When I saw the expression on his face, I tried to hold my urge to laugh. After all the 'book' he spoke about is definitely his experience from his regression.

Now then, if what Ren Qingchen said is true, then there is indeed something suspicious going on right now.

What is the reason so many people quickly gathered into the inheritance site?

I can already scratch it with schemes or traps, as even a regressor like Ren Qingchen is willing to enter the inheritance site.

With how careful Ren Qingchen is, I doubt he will bet his life on things he isn't sure about or too dangerous. Especially now he already got a subsystem from me.

Now then, what is the similarity between the peoples who already arrived at the inheritance site?

When I thought of that question, something suddenly clicked. I think I am thinking too much here.

Let's change my perspective and think of this world using the law of xianxia novels. Isn't it normal for the protagonist to coincidentally arrive exactly when an inheritance site that only opened once a gazillion years appeared?

Of course I am exaggerating with the amount of years, but you get the gist of it.

Furthermore, I already see the amount of luck Su Ping and Bai Yushi have. They are much higher than normal people. As for Young Master Gu's group, they probably also have a lot of luck, especially Young Master Gu and that loud Gong Jiayinguy.

As for Ren Qingchen, I dare bet 1.000 points of energy that he also has a massive amount of luck! I don't believe a regressor's luck will be anything less than 1 Young Master Gu.

Which means every single group there has at least one person with huge luck. So, all of them met the criteria for a 'protagonist'.

With that conclusion, I nod at my own idea.

While I am praising myself for my own genius, I got awakened by an interesting event coming from Young Master Gu's [Scan].

At this time, Young Master Gu somehow met Yin Lan.

Actually meeting is the wrong word as Yin Lan seems to be following him through some means. Because from the edge of Young Master Gu's [Scan], I can see her running directly towards him.

Young Master Gu sensed something was running toward him at high speed, so he prepared some of his defensive magical techniques.

When he saw it was just Yin Lan, Young Master Gu lowered his defense and asked. "Oh, it's you. How did you find me?"

"Hehe." Yin Lan laughed shyly with a glint in her eyes. "I can always find Senior Gu no matter where it is. After all, whether it is your facial structure, body size, aura, smell, skin, taste, hair, or even blood, I can recognize all of them. Just now I smelled your aroma from a few kilometers away."

Aiyoo, this woman is bad news. Like, extremely bad news.

Even Young Master Gu felt so as he moved slightly backward.

Seemingly unaware of the freaky thing she just said, Yin Lan went closer to Young Master Gu and asked. "So, where are we going?"

"I don't know." Young Master Gu just shrugged and walked randomly.

Although Young Master Gu gave her a half hearted answer, Yin Lan still silently followed him with a smile on her face.

They walked for a short time when a bronze gate appeared at the edge of their view. The location of this door is different from the one Ren Qingchen and Third Princess used.

When Young Master Gu saw the door, he said, "This door is most likely related to the one we come from. It might even allow us to leave this place. From the time I spent here, I feel this place looks like an inheritance ground. I am uncomfortable with entering an unknown place with unknown danger."

Yin Lan nodded, then she went and opened the door first.

When both of them saw the door easily opened, both of them passed through it and reached the next part of the inheritance test.

***

A few minutes after Young Master Gu entered the entrance to the next level, Su Ping and Bai Yushi also found theirs.

Actually, since the time Ren Qingchen arrived, they already woke up and traveled around randomly.

I've also followed Ren Qingquan's will before he die- I mean, sleep.

Once Bai Yushi woke up, I activated the system screen that's already attached to her and typed a message.

[Congratulations, You've been selected as the host for the Greatest Cultivator System. Please see the guide for further information.]

She indeed followed the guide and checked some of the system functions. She even tried to kill several beasts in the inheritance site to gather some points before exchanging them for an item.

Yet, although I saw her eyes glinted for a moment, the reception I got was pretty chill. She doesn't scream in excitement nor goes into crazy killing mode to collect points.

All I got from her is just occasional 'Eh' and 'ohhh' while she checked the system function. Then she went on with her own life.

As expected of a jade beauty template. Even when she finds such a cheat, she can keep a calm and cold expression on her face.

Now then, let's stop the flashbacks and return to the current time.

Although Bai Yushi and Su Ping don't have walkthrough like Ren Qingchen nor the freaky ability that Yin Lan has. Both of them still met each other just before a door through sheer coincidence.

As for their journey, it is pretty chill and calm. There is only one battle, which involves Su Ping fighting against a crocodile that attacked him when he tried to pass a river midway through his journey.

While standing in front of the door to the next test, Bai Yushi spoke to Su Ping who arrived after her. "It seems this place is indeed the inheritance site of an expert. Furthermore, the expert is probably at the Tribulation Transcendence stage or even Immortal Ascension stage. Because when I traveled around before, I found out we are most likely in a secret realm which can only be created by cultivators above Tribulation Transcender realm."

Then, Bai Yushi continued. " That means, you should try to do your best and receive the best reward possible. Even if you can't gain the main inheritance, just some 'small' treasures those experts left is enough to push the cultivation for someone at our level."

"Thank you for the advice." Su Ping nodded his head. Then, both of them pushed the door and passed through it.

With Su Ping and Bai Yushi's entry, all couples inside the inheritance site already arrived at the next test.

There is also that loud Gong Jiayi person who entered with Young Master Gu. What a pity I don't have any skill anchored on him, so I don't know his current situation.

But from how the number in the door changed to '3/4' by the time Su Ping and Bai Yushi found it, that Gong Jiayi guy must have also successfully entered the next test. I am not sure which door Gong Jiayi and the woman who always stood next to him used to enter the next test though.
