Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me-Chapter 4: Generous Compensation
Chapter 4: Generous Compensation
--- Chapter 4 ---
"Start!"
Xiao Yan's voice filled Baek Ain's ears.
Gu Xun'er casually jumps forward and uses a simple palm attack to defeat Baek Ain. It's more than enough to defeat him, which she confidently thought so.
Even though Gu Xun'er is suppressing her cultivation to 1 star Dou Practitioner like Baek Ain, her physical strength surpasses that of Dou Master easily.
'This is my victory.'
However, to everyone's surprise, Baek Ain stepped forward and used his elbow to change the direction of Gu Xun'er palm. He locked her arm joint and slammed her down to the ground.
BAM!
It looks simple, but Baek Ain used three skills simultaneously.
First, He used Dash to gain more momentum.
Second, He activated the "Rock-like body." to become more rigid.
And third, he applied a wrestling move from CQC quickly.
Someone who looked down on others wouldn't expect this.
"How?" Xiao Yan and Yao Chen are speechless.
Yet, the most shocked individual on this street is none other than Gu Xun'er herself. She felt the dirt on her fair face and had this impulse to attack.
A golden flame flashed in Gu Xun'er eyes.
BAM!
COUGH!
Gu Xun'er slammed her hand on Baek Ain's chest, sending him flying like a kite to a sturdy wall. He spewed a mouthful of blood and looked at her with a relieved expression.
"T-This is my loss..." Baek Ain smiled at her.
"Thank you for the spar..."
'Oh no! I just raised my cultivation by a whole great realm!' Gu Xun'er realized her mistake, staring at the injured young man solemnly.
"Xiao Ge, I-I..."
Xiao Yan rushed to Baek Ain and checked the injuries, hearing Yao Chen's words in his mind.
'He's sturdy for 1 Star Dou Practitioner. Well, he is still badly injured.'
'Bring him back, Xiao Yan. The healing pill we just made in the mountain should be effective for him.'
'Okay.' Xiao Yang nodded somewhat reluctantly.
He turned around and smiled at Gu Xun'er. "Don't worry. He'll be fine."
"Let's bring him back. People are staring at us."
Since Gu Xun'er caused quite a commotion with her last attacks, some pedestrians have gathered around them.
...
...
Baek Ain opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He frowned deeply and hissed in pain because his whole body felt like it was getting smacked by a car several times.
"Oh, he wakes up?" Xiao Yan's voice came from the left.
Baek Ain forced his body to move and walked off the bed, shocking Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er.
"Oy, oy. Don't move around recklessly like that." Xiao Yan warned him. "Or the pill won't be effective."
Baek Ain ignored Xiao Yan and glanced at Gu Xun'er, bowing to show respect for his defeat and walking out immediately. He doesn't want to stay here for too long. After all, staying with Xiao Yan will bring more danger than good for him.
Xiao Yan is a brash young man who got reincarnated into this world. His protagonist halo always brings harm to anyone around him, which is a big no-no for Baek Ain.
He turned around the corner, hitting a tall person in a black robe.
"Take this." The tall person threw a small jar at him. "Young Miss said it was compensation for your injuries. She also admitted that spar was her loss."
As the mysterious person disappeared, Baek Ain looked down at the jar in his hand and chuckled amusingly because Gu Xun'er was still sensible despite being Xiao Yan's Fangirl.
Also, that mysterious-robed man is probably Gu Xun'er bodyguard, Ling Yin. He's Dou Emperor who could kill Baek Ain's physical body to death with his mere cultivation release.
Three Great Realms higher than the quest's goal the Goddess of Opportunity issued for him.
'And some people might wonder why I avoided Xiao Yan?' Beak Ain smiled wryly.
Baek Ain kept walking and arrived at the corner of Xiao Clan, hearing the system notification. He stopped near a comfy-looking home.
[Ding! Do you want to Sign In to Gu Xun'er Bedroom?]
"..."
'This perverted system. Last week you gave me lady's panties, and now this? Your algorithm is suspicious...'
[...]
[Do you want to Sign In to Gu Xun'er Bedroom?]
"Well, if you force me like that? I can't refuse, no?" Beak Ain playfully answered.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received Trigram Palm Technique and 100.000 Gold Coins]
"Better than the last time." Baek Ain commented, strolling out of the Xiao Clan in a giddy mood. Even the pain from the Gu Xun'er attack doesn't feel as much as painful anymore.
Upon arriving at his house, Baek Ain slumped onto his bed and popped a wound-healing pill.
He checked the jar given by Gu Xun'er and murmured, "Wow."
There are ten pills with pearl-like quality and a pleasant scent of medicinal herbs.
[Name: Three Stages Blooming Flower Pills]
[Type: Medicine/Recovery Item]
[Grade: B+]
[Description: Fifth Tiers: Three Stages Blooming Flower Pills are medicinal pills with potent healing properties, having an effect for recovering anyone below Dou King's level instantly. It's also an excellent resource for one's cultivation as the medicinal herb used to make it could push one's Dou Qi naturally]
"Is it safe for me to consume this? I might explode, you know?"
[Scanning...]
[The system recommended the host consume the pill while cultivating the Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World. You could reach 1st stage efficiently with it]
"Oh, I haven't checked the reward yet. This technique is from Against the God's World, vastly larger than Battle Through the Heaven's World."
"It should help me cultivate faster..."
"Way faster than Xiao Yan because the Record of the Burning World is a divine technique."
Since Baek Ain possessed Golden Crow and White Tiger's blessing, he wouldn't have a problem cultivating the Record of the Burning World because it bypasses the bloodline's requirements.
The system even confirmed it for him.
"To make sure once again. You should have covered me from external perception, right? We are talking about a cultivation technique from a literal divine beast here, you perverted system. I don't want to take my chance and gather attention from powerful people toward my home late at night."
[Trust me, host]
"No."
[...]
"..."
"I'm just giving the benefit of the doubt here, System."
"All this annoyance is dragged into my life, pulling and forcing me into doing tedious stuff. My dream is to sleep all day and enjoy my peaceful life, but no. A random woman slapped something to my chest, an insect bastard killed me, and an unknown goddess chose me as her champion."
"And here I am in another world arguing with the system..."
"Do you know how absurd it sounds?" Baek Ain vented his frustration and indifferently gazed into the system's panel.
[Deploying Barrier around the host]
[Please be reassured, host. The system will handle any possible threats]
Maybe it is just Baek Ain's feeling, but the system sounds less monotonous than before.
Baek Ain rubbed his forehead because he had nothing to lose here and told the system to impart the Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World straight into his head.
He picked one of the pills Gu Xun'er gave to him as compensation and swallowed it. Sitting on the bed comfortably, Baek Ain fell into a dream-like state and saw a massive golden crow.
Seven hours went on quickly.
And the next day, someone knocked on Baek Ain's door.
In a dim room, a white-haired young man with a decently handsome face but a mysterious aura sat on a scorched bed. He opened his eyes slowly and revealed a pair of otherworldly hazel-gold eyes with pupils burning in majestic golden flame.
