How To Be A System (Dummy-Proof Edition)

Chapter 86. Which Idiot Placed Their Treasury Next To A Prison?

By the time Ren Qingchen and Third Princess went out, everyone else already stood outside.

Both of them are actually the last one to finish the tower's trial even though they are the one who entered first.

On top of their heads, there are lights that show various numbers.

Above Su Ping and Bai Yushi's head, there is the number 3. The reason they merely reached that floor is because Su Ping is out of points and unable to purchase items from the system shop. Furthermore, Bai Yushi is at Foundation Building stage, which makes the mannequin-like puppet of light they fought to be at Foundation Building stage.

Furthermore, those puppets are capable of using basic magical techniques like creating a fireball or summoning a gust of wind. Which multiplied their difficulties even more.

As for Young Master Gu. The number above his head is 4, which is slightly better than Su Ping and Bai Yushi's.

Although he is a Golden Core stage cultivator and is the strongest among everyone standing there, the puppets he met during the test are just that much more stronger, with each at Golden Core stage.

Just like the puppets at Foundation Building stage, the Golden Core stage Puppet Young Master Gu and Yin Lan met is also capable of using magical technique. The magical techniques used by those puppets are also a bit more varied where some can increase their allies' speed, or strength, or summon magical barrier, flame, wind, etc.

To be honest, Young Master Gu and Yin Lan capable of clearing the fourth floor, are already extremely amazing. Especially Yin Lan, she is actually someone who used metal threads as weapons.

During her fight, I saw her control those threads to cut and bound those puppets so Young Master Gu can kill them off. What's even more impressive is how she is only at Foundation Building stage, which is one stage lower than those puppets.

In my opinion, Yin Lan has greatly contributed to the reason they can reach that high.

Lastly, the light above Gong Jiayi and the unknown woman next to him show the number '5'. Which is the second highest. As I haven't anchored any of them with a subsystem, I don't know how they reached such a high floor.

***

Exactly two hours after the light woman disappeared, it returned once again. The way it appears is the same as before, where she condensed out of tiny particle of lights.

When the woman looked at everyone there, she congratulated them with a mechanical voice. "Congratulations for completing the second trial. All of you have shown an amazing tacit understanding during the test. One couple has even surpassed expectations and completed the seventh floor."

When the light woman said that, everyone looked at Ren Qingchen and Third Princess. Except for Young Master Gu who keeps his poker face, and Gong Jiayi who has a frown. Everyone else has an amazed expression.

The light woman continued as the ground in front of Ren Qingchen split open and a small platform rose. Above the small platform, there is a small pink stone with mysterious lusters. "For your amazing achievement, you've been rewarded with a fragment of Love Stone. It has the power to increase a cultivator's chance to conceive a child if placed nearby during an exchange between Yin and Yang. This Love Stone is something created by Endless Affection Immortal's during her attempt of comprehending her Dao."

Ren Qingchen nodded and took the Love Stone from the platform in front of him. "This is just what I needed, thank you."

On the side, Third Princess elbowed Ren Qingchen and teased him. "Have you found a woman you like and want to have a child with her soon?"

Ren Qingchen side eyed her and whispered with a serious face. "Don't misunderstand, this Love Stone's ability is actually to slightly increase the chance for living creatures to conceive descendants."

"Yeah, and?" Third Princess looked curious when she asked that question.

He explained "That means, it will affect not only human cultivators. But it also affects spirit beasts and even plants. With this, it is possible to greatly increase the rate for spirit beasts to give birth!"

"Ohhh." Third Princess just nodded. It seems she doesn't quite care about it.

Instead, my mind suddenly clicked when Ren Qingchen explained the function of that thing.

Ren Qingquan's bullshit luck is perhaps at work here. Because this thing is exactly something needed for his plan to start an EXP farm! With that stone, it will help the spirit beasts used in his EXP farm plan to procreate.

After the woman made of light gave the fragment of Love Stone to Ren Qingchen, she spoke to everyone there. "Now that everyone has completed the second trial, let's begin the third trial!"

With a wave of her hand, the earth under the plaza rose and turned into many small rooms which separated everyone there. The rooms also have the ability to interfere with my [Scan] to a certain degree, just like the place Ren Qingquan is currently imprisoned at, but to a lesser degree.

Just when I thought of him, Ren Qingquan finally woke up from his nap.

***

Inside the small room Ren Qingquan is imprisoned at.

I saw him finally wake up and stretch his body. Next, he stored the bed under him into [Storage] before he finally spoke to me. 'System, have you mentioned the subsystem to Bai Yushi?'

[Done. Also host, system has found another suitable candidate for a subsystem. Do you wish to attach a subsystem on him?]

Ren Qingquan asked. 'Who is the one you mentioned?'

[It is Young Master Gu you've met before in the Mission Hall of the Pure Wave Sect. The first time you used the Turtle Divination Technique, he was among one of the people you saw. The amount of luck he has is also quite impressive.]

Ren Qingquan nodded his head and spent 1.110 points to 'upgrade' Young Master Gu's subsystem to Lv 4. Then, he also spent another 11 points to transfer a system screen to Young Master Gu.

Mwahahaha! I've finally asked Ren Qingquan for reimbursement.

He then opened several screens and observed the event happening around Su Ping and the others.

Currently they are all placed inside a small room made out of solidified soil that rose from the ground. In front of each of them, there is a copy of the woman made out of light who explained the rules. "The third trial will test how much you understood each other. All you need to do now is fill the question written in the paper in front of you. You have half an hour to fill all of those questions, starting from now."

The woman dispersed into particles of light once she finished explaining the rules.

The questions written on the paper are simple at first. But the further it is, the more personal the question is.

The first few questions merely asked their name, birth date, gender, parents name, or other basic data. But the later part asked about personal matters like hobbies, secrets, favorite foods, disliked foods, and many other things. In total, there are fifty questions written there.

Within twenty minutes, everyone there had filled their own paper.

Su Ping, Bai Yushi, and Young Master Gu filled every question seriously.

Meanwhile, Ren Qingchen and Third Princess proceed with their plan. Both of them filled all fifty questions with the word 'secret'.

Once the thirty minute countdown ended, the woman reappeared and said. "Now, please guess the answer your partner has written. The more correct answers you fill, the higher your points will be. Those with higher points will have better rewards."

A new paper suddenly appeared in front of everyone there.

Hearing the woman's words, everyone there quickly wrote their answer. Every Time they finish answering a question, the correct answer will appear next to their guess.

For example, once Ren Qingchen finished filling the first question with the word 'secret', another 'secret' word appeared next to the one he wrote.

When Ren Qingquan saw it, he thought. 'Eh? Isn't this just a quiz game? I'm sure I've seen something similar on TV before. Also, isn't that light woman a bit too stupid? Doesn't she see that Ren Qingchen and Third Princess are blatantly cheating?'

After Ren Qingquan got the gist of the current event happening to those people, he closed the screen and started looking around.

'Let's get out of this place.' He activated Armament Transformation and turned it into the shape of a drill. Under his control, the drill rotated and targeted the wall next to him.

When the wall received an attack from his drill, the wall released a translucent light that blocked the drill from damaging it.

Unable to break the wall with his drill attack, Ren Qingquan placed his hand on the wall and activated [Storage] to store the wall into [Storage] instead.

This time, his plan went extremely successful as a human sized hole slowly appeared on the wall. He continued to dig deeper until he poke a hole that let light from the outside enter his location.

'Finally!' Ren Qingquan happily opened a bigger hole and walked outside.

When Ren Qingquan opened the hole and left the room imprisoning him, my [Scan] can finally spread outside. The small room he comes from actually has the power to block my [Scan] from spreading outside.

My guess is it is the effect of a certain formation. Because the stones Ren Qingquan stored in [Storage] to escape the rooms are all made out of normal materials.

Outside of the prison, there is a treasury like place. It is a wide square room with a pond placed right in the middle of the room. My [Scan] detected many items containing massive amounts of energy everywhere.

For example, near the place Ren Qingquan comes from, a small pile of spirit stones are placed haphazardly.

When Ren Qingquan saw it, he immediately stored it in [Storage] after he threw away the stones and soils he previously stored inside. Those stones and soils come from his previous act of digging a hole in the wall.

At the opposite end of the room, there are many shelves containing pills and materials. There are dried plants, stones, unknown powders, and many other things. Just like the spirit stones, he also stored everything inside his [Storage].

On the room's left side, there are two bookshelves, which I scanned when Ren Qingquan passes through them. The two bookshelves actually only contained several hundred copies of the same books.

As for his right side, there is a stone platform with unknown function. Above the platform, there is a complicated formation with unknown functions.

My current knowledge is unable to even understand its full function. The most I can see are some formation that have the ability to seal something, a few formation used to gather spirit qi, and a few formation capable of changing terrains.

Of course like usual, I thoroughly scanned every corner of that formation and stored them in [Storage].

Now, I focused my attention on the main course.

Although most things in the room contained a lot of energy. But the one with the most energy is the pond located in the middle of the room.

[Scan] detected at least 2 millions of points of energy. It is the highest amount of energy I've ever seen. Furthermore, the energy fluctuation is a bit familiar.

While I am searching where the familiar feeling comes from, many spots of light suddenly appear nearby Ren Qingquan and gathered into the shape of a woman.

"Congratulations, inheritor. You've shown your worth and are suitable to receive Endless Infatuation Immortal's inheritance."
