Guiding System

After Brian curiously tapped on the square that had the word 'Shop' in his mind, a variety of smaller squares like a menu that had words such as Pills, Breathing Techniques, Martial Art Techniques, Herbs, Ores, Weapons, Armors, Movement Techniques, Talismans, etc. After seeing all the options, Brian tapped on the one most interesting to him, Martial Arts techniques. Although Brian hasn't been taught Martial arts because he wasn't ready, Brian still wanted to see what they were. When Brian tapped on Martial arts, scrolls with weird names popped up. And as Brian went down he was able to quickly notice that the he had to tap on the technique to get the general information about that specific technique and the cost. The system would do a small showcase of how strong the technique was using Brian's body to model it. the techniques cost 'SP', but Brian didn't know what the 'SP' was. As Brian was wondering what 'SP' meant, the mechanical voice spoke as if it noticed Brian's confusion.

"SP stands for 'Status Points'. Status points allows User to buy anything within Shop or raise mastery of skills. MP stands for 'Mission Points'. After completing a mission or objective, the system will award User a set amount of MP which can be traded for SP at a rate of 1:2 or can be used so as to unlock restricted areas which can't be opened unless the criteria is met."

"Mhm, thanks. Oh yeah, what should I call you? Guiding Assistant Program System is too long."~Brian

"User may name me as I am User's program."

"Alright, I'll call you Gap. It's like an acronym of your name and you can call me Brian."~Brian

"Very well, Brian."~Gap

"So how do I get SP?"~Brian

"Killing creatures will provide SP. Mortal Realm creatures grant 1 SP, QI Realm creatures give 5, Earth Realm creatures will give 20, Sky Realm creatures provide 50, Heaven Realm creatures give 200, Legend Realm creatures will grant 500, and Myth Realm creatures provide 10,000 SP. As s gift for starting, the program will reward Brian."~Gap

After Gap's mechanical voice spoke, a ding sound was heard. In the corner of the screen, a small red box with a white envelope suddenly had a number 1 in the right corner of the box. Brian guessed the gift was inside and Brian guessed correctly. As Brian tapped the envelope, a new page with the word 'Mail' at the top and a white background was now set where the Martial arts techniques previously were with the message:

[Brian has been gifted 5,000 SP.]

Brian was surprised then immediately delighted. Brian was about to ask if it was okay to just give 5,000 SP away, but shut his mouth so as to not displease Gap. Brian backed out of the notifications and backed out from Shop. Brian was told by Gap that he'd be able to use SP to master techniques. Brian was initially confused, but information about everything regarding the system was sent into his mind and Brian know knew where to spend SP to master techniques. Pressing Health in the lower right corner, Brian then saw a screen which seemed to show his status and moves.

'The number next to the type of technique should be the amount of that type of technique I know, but what does the number next to the name of the technique mean?'

"The number to the right of the technique name is mastery over the technique. A #100 would mean perfect mastery. By simply thinking of adding SP to the mastery, the SP will be subtracted and knowledge and experience will be sent directly to your soul. A period of 5 hours shall be needed to adjust to information afterwards if SP are added. A total of 100 SP are needed to raise the mastery number by 1."~Gap

"Thanks, Gap."~Brian

After solving all the complicated matter Brian had, Brian decided to check out the Shop one more turn to see if anything interested him. Unfortunately, Brian wasn't able to use most items inside the Shop and Grandpa J was giving Brian free High grade Martial Art techniques so Brian didn't have use for any of the techniques, yet. After checking through everything, Brian finally stopped messing around with the screen and fell asleep, saving the 5,000 SP for later.

After getting some shut eye and circulating Qi, all of Brian's previous mental exhaustion was gone and was replaced with a warm feeling. Brian continued his normal workout routine and he looked indifferent, but Brian was really excited to see if there are pills or scripts that could help him break through the final lock on his cultivation and reach Earth Realm. But soon enough, Brian's hopes were smashed as the lesson from Isabella was about Heavenly Tribulation. The Heavenly was apparently a trial for cultivators and the pain during the Tribulation was considered do be worse than being tortured by a group of Demonic cultivators. The Heavenly Tribulation was when lightning strikes the cultivator and the cultivator has to bear the pain as the Heavenly Tribulation aids in breaking through the final lock on someones cultivation. The Heavenly Tribulation is more excruciating the better body type one has, If a Mortal cultivates then the Heavenly Tribulation will typically happen when a cultivator tries to break the final lock in their Heaven Realm while cultivators with better body types have been known to suffer Heavenly Tribulation when reaching Sky Realm. But although the lightning striking from above is gut wrenching, the benefits are worth it. Few cultivators have been able to cultivate their high grade breathing technique and absorb the thunder and lightning elements from the Heavenly Tribulation, giving a strong foundation if they chose to mainly focus on their lightning element. Aside, from the 6 Elements of Creation, the lightning element isn't existent in the rules because the power of lightning is able to suppress the 6 Elements and isn't bound to the 6 Elements of Creation. Many theorists speculate that only space and time element cultivators would do considerable damage against a lightning cultivator. Lightning cultivators are also stronger against Soul True Force which means ghost and lich would be weaker in the face of these cultivators. Although the benefits are huge, only few have been able to live through Heavenly Tribulation while some live and couldn't breakthrough because of the large damage to their soul and dantian. This is important to Brian because apparently, the only known cultivator to have a Dragon Kind Body had to go through Heavenly Tribulation when the cultivator barely reached Earth Realm which caused his death. When Brian heard this, he almost fainted from fright.
