Chapter 31: using the reputation store again

(A/N: warning, slight info dump ahead)

Overwhelmed!!

Yes Overwhelmed!!

That was what Gu Lin Fang was feeling right now.

He ignored the Notoriety points for now and looked at the once that he felt was important to his future.

[Connection to the story: 62%]

'so my actions were on the right track, I just need to go forward with the plan as it is and it would be 100% in no time' Gu Lin Fang stroked his beaded chin while in deep thought.

[Triggered villain's fortune!:

Captain Qiang Lei (Hero)

Cloud piercing swordsman Sima Yan (Hero)]

Upon reading these, Gu Lin Fang couldn't help cussing "who the F*ck is this Captain Qiang Lei trash?.

Hero? Sima Yan? What grudges do we have with each other?"

He kept grumbling while thinking but then his eyes flashed with suspicion, "could it be him?".

He suddenly thought about the leading officer he had played a prank on and then looked at the two names suspiciously.

'so those two are connected?'

'Haaa... another unknown term to check out in the tutorial again, Weapon manuals.

But what I find most valuable is the individual story edit chance'.

________

[Unlocked special skill Tab]

[As an Evil cultivator with over twenty deaths connected to your name, you have unlocked a new resource and special skill.

Killing intent Lv 1: this resource is used for intimidation and inflicting 5% multiplied by your present body count + skill damage to enemies.

Lasts for 15 seconds.]

[Body count are the number of people who have died because of you, whether directly or indirectly.]

[Present body count: 126]

"Interesting..." With a grin, he pulled out the Demon suppressing Pagoda from his inventory, "this two compliment each other, won't I become invincible as long as more people die because of me?.

Hahahaha"

While he was laughing, Time slowed down to a halt.

[Ding!]

[Monthly opening of the reputation store has been activated. Available only on the last weekend of the month]

[Note: Today is the final day of this month.

[Notoriety points: 877]

The list of the first page came up once again, he's only allowed to buy three things from this page and the last time he already bought one trait.

[Sensing]

Looking at the list, his heart was bleeding.

° Idle healing: automatically heal your health points while out of combat. (+12 HP per). (3 points).

°Selective focus - the ability to unconsciously know what information to pay attention to and what to ignore for 4 seconds. (10 points).

°Aural sense - the ability to pinpoint the location of an enemy based only on sound. (5 points).

°Situational awareness - the ability to know what is happening where and to whom at all times, this is also useful in real time battle situations and Most of the time you won't have to actually think to keep tabs on this. A maximum of four People or place has to be selected for activation. (10 points)

°Nerves of Steel (Trait): The ability to stay calm no matter the situation. Consumes Qi to remain active (10 points)

...

At the end of the day, he had to make a choice. He picked [Selective Focus] and [Situational awareness] for 20 points after going through the descriptions, immediately the page was shredded and the page underneath came into view.

This page was made entirely of equipments, hairpin, Belt, outfit (full robe), shoes, masks, earrings, necklaces, Cultivation methods, Martial techniques and all kinds of weapons.

'it's always a race against time with this thing, if I didn't have the calculating mind trait...I would have really been hopeless'.

"First thing should be Body armor".

All Body gear were classified into the normal grading system, four of each set.

Ghost Cloud set (Bone softening)

Storm frenzy set (Damage reflection)

Red garden set (Poison)

Heart devourer set (Damage absorbing)

This four sets were spread across each grade, ranging from white grade to Purple Grade.

Amongst the four, only Ghost cloud set with damage reduction seemed stable and perfect for him.

The full set of the purple grade would cost 600 points. As soon as he paid, it changed it's attributes to Yin accordingly.

[Ghost cloud Set:

Pieces: 4

Equipment quality: Tier 5

Durability: (100/100)

Defense: 150

Increases external parry + 40

Operation of internal cultivation skills is increased by 22%.

Unified Entity: when equipped with the complete set (4), you won't be affected by special effects of lower tiered equipment.

Light as a feather: +10% efficiency to your lightness skill(movement technique).

Soul restoration: once attacked, if you have as much as six purple grade equipment, there's a 4% chance,  Healing by treasure may be triggered.

Healing by treasure: heals up to 30% of your base health.

50% for those with greater Qi based builds.

Upgradeable.]

Gu Lin Fang was impressed by this out as it had cultivation boost, damage reduction and a probability of self healing.

Unlike the others with poisoning and so on.

The main piece was a black Gong Fu robe with a gray furred neckline and wrists, it was slightly decorated with tiny silver skulls. Obviously it's meant to be worn over the black martial suit, next was the headgear (hairpin) and black shoes.

[Notoriety points: 257]

Now what he needed was a false weapon that would take people's mind away from his palm technique.

He quickly spotted a Blue grade sword that was in fact a walking cane, It looked very old.

A walking stick carved from a dried sap of a cinnabar tree.

Despite it's red and black designs, it's design belonged to a tradition of using cinnabar to create potions to ensure longevity.

Only By pulling the top and adding the owner's Qi, you unsheathe the sword from the cane's body.

Introduction:

This was a weapon once known in the world of 'Eternal Glory'. several centuries ago, it was used by Venerable Tu Bu Lao. One of the founders of demonic way, a man who was shunned by his family for his lack of talent and cowardice.

At the end of the day, he embarked on journey to find his own way. A method of seeking immortality different from the norm. Although it's deviated slightly from his initial intentions, this was one of the results

Upgradeable.]

Although it's a blue grade equipment, it rivalled most of the purple grade equipments. The world system priced it at 150 points, leaving me now with 107 points.

It was then he decided to find a suitable sword technique and few other available techniques for the clan.
