2022-03-14 06:15:50Once Gu Lin Fang was done tidying himself up, He wanted to call for Gu Li Cheng to meet him in the study but ultimately changed his mind upon noticing Gong Shuren was awake despite being immobile.
At that moment, Gong Shuren, who was not aware of Gu Lin Fang's arrival, struggled to sit up.
It was then Gu Lin Fang made his presence known by stepping on the wounded man. His eyes devoid of emotion as they glowed ruby red in the dim study.
He cold says with a teasing grin, "That's right, struggle. Maybe You can die while you're at it, I'm in need of quality puppets after all!".
- Glug!
Gu Lin Fang smiled as he saw Gong Shuren swallow hard, "You really want to live huh".
"..."
'Hmm, I need him to tell me about the [Pan mansion].' Gu Lin Fang watched silently, watching every minute detail in his actions.
"Krr... what do you want?!!" he spat blood after uttering such words with difficulty.
Gu Lin Fang sneered and chose not to explain, He made up his mind to Con this man or something.
But immediately, time seemed to stop, no it looked like it stopped but was moving very slowly that one wouldn't notice.
Before he could get confused, wondering if it was one of those fate specific scenes again.
[Ding!]
[Monthly opening of the reputation store has been activated. Available only on the last weekend of the month]
[Notoriety points: 10]
Below these were a list of things he could afford with his 10 points which consisted of Traits and items that were available this week, below that were items that were grayed out.

°Nerves of Steel (Trait): The ability to stay calm no matter the situation. Consumes Qi to remain active (10 points)
°...
There are many skills but not enough points.
'I see, today is Friday and it's 10 pm.
Is it safe to say that 10pm is the only time it would open each day till it stops?.
So many questions left unanswered...
Is this the same setting for players too?'.
While Gu Lin Fang was wondering on what to think, about a minute had passed and time was suddenly speeding up once again.
He quickly chose the trait that would be useful to him immediately.
[You have bought the trait {Sensing} for 5 Notoriety.]
Immediately, it was added to his list of Traits and he couldn't help but wonder, 'If I can add traits, can they be removed at some point?'.
° Sensing: Grants you a brief information on the target when used. (5 points).
Time began to flow normally once again as Gong Shuren continued to struggle under his feet.
He then proceeded to use sensing on Gong Shuren without hesitation.
_____________
[Pan yu Xing(Gong Shuren):
NPC qualifications: Blue Rank Boss {II}
Age : 25
Cultivation: 8th stage of Auroras Core realm
Affiliation: Member of the Fallen Pan clan, Blood blade sect's successor, Wu ming Hall Member (silver).
Reputation:Sealed Blade Gong Shuren {Gold II}
Summary: as a young man, Pan yu Xing lacked talent.
At the age of 16, He chanced upon a fortuitous encounter and ended up as the last remaining successor of the ancient blood blade sect.
Driven by ambition to prove to his father Pan yu lang that he wasn't a waste.
He chose to cultivate the arts of this demonic sect and left home to gain experience. Everyday was a battle for survival in order to temper his blood blade and it had remained that way over the years until three months ago when he offended Star Demon Hua Wu Que, a powerful demonic cultivator and the real person behind the Mu Bang (Tomb Gang).
It didn't take long for her to find out about his family, resulting in the massacre.]
_____________
This information alone, took a huge chunk from his Qi pool, hee tried going more in-depth with the information but something was hindering him. So Gu Lin Fang decided that he would try it on someone else to see if there'll be anything different.
'So many titles...' Gu Lin Fang was jealous of this mini Boss.
On the bright side, he now knew what to do. Looks like he's what you could refer to as a named NPC in the old games.
His amount of accumulated reputation and networks must have contributed in his Boss status.
'I guess I am in the right track, but this is unfair...' Gu Lin Fang thought while looking at the clan's page enviously, the purple gold avatar of Gu Mei Jie was so glaring in his eyes, 'She already a Boss at the Qi gathering realm.
She's probably a highly valued disciple or something.
Do I set her up against the Evil camp players or something?'
For now he decided to first Con Gong Shuren, no Pan yu Xing.
"Are you doing this for Pan yu lang?"Gu Lin Fang says out of nowhere.
Upon hearing his words, Gong Shuren's already pale face became even paler as he asked, "Who are you?!!!...Kuem!!"
He gnashed his teeth as he glared at Gu Lin Fang.
The latter lifted his feet and walked casually towards the his rosewood chair, He sat down and tried to set up the mood.
He looked up to his right while repeatedly tapping his armrest, he was trying to portray the image of someone trying to recollect a long forgotten memory.
"I'm guessing, you must be Pan yu Xing that left home all those years ago.
If that's the case, everything makes sense now...why else would you be there". Gu Lin Fang put a lot of effort to make the appropriate reactions, He really wants to know if he could gain reputation from taking in named characters.
What gave him this line of thought was his experience in his last life. When a well known gangster is successfully recruited by the Boss or underboss, it adds to their bragging rights and the amount fear they spread in his area.
Gu Lin Fang wanted to know if the system would acknowledge this method as well. It would also further prove to him if this was a game world made by humans.
And so he continued his monologue, much to the confusion of Gong Shuren.
"Qi gathering realm, Foundation establishment stage, Auroras Core realm, Nascent soul realm and the legendary soul separation no one has really seen.
In less than a decade, you got to the Auroras core realm from nothing, who dares say you lack talent.
What you did has proved them wrong, I'm sure my friend Pan yu lang would be very proud right now".
'This should be enough, leave the rest for his imagination', those were the words Gu Lin Fang told himself.
Indeed...
Although as a demon cultivator Gong Shuren was wired to doubt everything he hears, He couldn't help but hold a bit of hope for someone remotely connected to his father...
"this..." He was stunned and didn't know what to think, in the end he could only ask the question,"Who are you to my father?".
The tapping stopped and his hand hung in the air, ".."
"I don't know, I mean...I know we were allies for some reason but...
I can't remember what it was, a lot of my memories are missing since my seclusion.
I was forced awake and found my clan being attacked, because..." Gu Lin Fang stopped suddenly and looked at Gong Shuren curiously, or at least he faked the expression.
"what were you doing?" As he asked this question, Gu Lin Fang pulled out the scrolls he had picked at the site and couldn't help but read through briefly, "Bloodlines? Are you really trying to draw something like that out because it's your ancestral land?".
"..." Gong Shuren gritted his teeth saying, "I have arrived at my limit and..."
"I can bet you that it'd would never, something so obvious, many would have long tried before.
How could you fall for something like this?" Gu Lin Fang's words..

It was already three days later since the Patriarch of the Bai Family came around.Things once again regained it's calm.

The one in charge was Fatty Zhu, he was wearing a plain hat and a black round-neck robe.He sat at a table sipping some rice wine, looking at the strong coolie with what he thought was a smiling expression. "Those who steal or play tricks will have a part of their wages deducted, and those who work hard will get an extra bowl of rice for lunch...if you are caught more than once, you lose a finger." He yelled from time to time as he slurped his drink before smacking his lips.

At this time, it was already close to midnight and after the events that happened during the day before, the sensation didn't stop, it was like someone was going out of his or her way to spread rumors of what happened in the Alliance gathering.In an instant, the entire Iron crow city was boiling with gossip!Gu Lin Fang and Nangong Jiang became the two most popular people in the entire Iron crow city within a few hours!At this time, Iron crow city!At this time, the cultivators in the major restaurants drank wildly.Everyone scrambled to say that they knew about the battle of falling cloud slope."Have you heard?

Wuli Town, a town living under the jurisdiction of the Glistening Snow Palace, it was surrounded by different satellite villages, for example, Lihe village.Lihe Village, LuoZun Barren Mountain.Two streamers containing cyan shimmering light ran out from the void.The streamer dissipated, and two women in cyan clothes and gauze skirts appeared at the foot of the mountain and looked up at this barren mountain.On the barren mountain, there is a ruined ancient temple.In this vast and vast barren mountain, the temple looks very small, like a gust of wind, it can be blown to pieces.It was suddenly at this point that the middle aged woman amongst the two spoke, "this place is where the ancestor of our Glacial peak stays in retreat".Moreover, looking at this place, it is so dilapidated, it doesn't look like a place of enlightenment in the younger girl's imagination at all."Is the ancestor really in such a place? "The younger girl of about 15-16 years old with immortal temperament frow
Chapter 76: New Elders and plans (1)
While the situation on the other side continued, Gu Lin Fang now knew the reason why Xin Xing and Lin Huang came to 'see' him."It's not hard to help you with your problem but..."there was a short pause in his sentence as he alternated his gaze between the two villainous characters in front of him "why should I help you?"."This..." Xin Xing was puzzled but couldn't say a word, after some thought, she turned to Lin Huang and was speechless. Aside from Lin Huang's eyes, everything else was already wooden, his eyes seemed to scream in desperation and was ready to agree to anything at this point.At first he had only been searching for Gu Lin Fang with a watch and see attitude, as he was silently coming to terms with his impending fate. But Now things were different, Gu Lin Fang's words reignited his hunger for survival!.He wasn't worried about the condition stated by Gu Lin Fang, in fact, if there were no conditions, he would have been more afraid. Besides, Xin Xing was by his side, ev
Chapter 75: Personal main quest triggered ?
Back within his pavilion, Gu Lin Fang watched as Xu Wu Qong suppressed his prisoners before forcing them into a wooden coffin that was brought over. Both Patriarchs were chained thoroughly and left to suffer through the burning effects of the poison in their system. "It's done, Lord Patriarch" 'Xu Wu Qong' says with a light smile. Unsurprisingly, Gu Lin Fang nodded briefly before asking, "what did you feel, seeing your family again?". "Disgust..." Such was the answer that came out without hesitation. Unable to hold back, Gu Lin Fang's laughter dripped with obvious sarcasm, "hahaha... Disgust?... hahaha". After settling down, he said, "why don't you get rid of such disgusting things, so you don't feel like that again?". "If it's your wish" Gu Lin Fang chose not to respond and tried making connection with his shadow guard "It's about time"____________ Meanwhile, In the distance, Xin Xing and Lin Huang were watching the appearance of the Gu family mansion, but couldn't help mar
Chapter 74: Small Harvest
Back in the study, Nangong Jiang was furious!Boom!!He smacked his table in anger, 'Nothing went as planned!!'At this time, the light green robed Shen Cao Tei rushed into the study in a disheveled manner."My Lord!"Upon hearing this sound, Nangong Jiang squinted at the young man dangerously.Shen Cao Tei shivered like a willow leaf, feeling cold sweat on his back, he fell on his back with so much force that anyone could hear his bones creaking loudly, "Master, this little one didn't say a word to him, I ne..."Without letting Shen Cao Tei finish, Nangong Jiang snorted dismissively while saying, "Hmph, I know, you don't have the guts".He looked at the brocade box for a second before adding, "But It seems we have a rat in my City Lord mansion, prepare to head back""Yes!"&n
