Booby traps.

"The divine alchemist sect's ancestral martial arts."

MoShen's mind was filled with an anime scene in which a top-tier thief is about to steal very valuable items belonging to popular personnel. Stunts, password hacking on computerized devices

"Hah, this makes me miss the real world."

He grumbled to himself. Then, fearful that there would be any booby traps that would lead to his demise, he summoned the sword from the ring and began walking toward the box.

As he got three feet closer to the box, rods with sharp points spurted out of the ground, and he sprang up into the air to avoid one that was aimed at his lower half.

He broke out in a cold sweat thinking about what he would have done to himself if he had let those booby traps hurt his beloved.

"Pant."

MoShen gasped for air and is now on the floor, one kneel on the ground and the sword serving as a support for his balance.

MoShen stood up and took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the surroundings. If there is one thing he does not want, it is to fail a mission that he has seen countless of his legends fail in movies.

When he moved another 1 foot closer to the glass box, another trap was quickly activated, as if someone was watching him.

Energies like lasers shot out in different directions, red in color and extremely hot to the touch, they are extremely dangerous.

Seven of them pierced his body, his clothes caught fire, and his HP began to deplete in tens.

MoShen adjusted his body to fit into the space without the laser, but the more he did so, the more HP he lost, his clothes turned black, and smoke began to escape.

MoShen quickly retrieved the same pill he took the last time that restored his health to normal; fortunately, he did not take the wrong pill because his health was immediately restored to Max. With that, he jumped out of the range of the red energy laser.

His health has only dropped from 200 to 120, which is still enough to face any booby trap, assuming it isn't as powerful as the two traps he encountered earlier.

MoShen dashed for the box while holding one pill in his left hand and the sword in his right.

An energy barrier was released just 3 meters away from the box, sending him back to the first booby trap.

His leg was pierced by the spear, and he moaned quietly in pain. Blood was oozing from the wound, and a small pool of blood formed.

'Fuck, if I bleed any more, they'll be able to figure out who did this, so I'm going to tie it up to stop it from bleeding.'

Blood can be used to find a suspect in a modern world, but MoShen is not used to sect technology; what if they still have that kind of technology? They'll have no trouble locating him.

(SFX for ripped clothing)

MoShen tore a piece of his black robe to bandage the wound, then swallowed a pill. MoShen had just discovered that there was only one pill of that type left.

Because he has been discovered, he must act quickly in order to leave the sect as soon as possible.

Returning to action, he easily passed the spear trap, but when he got to the laser part of the booby trap, he started making all kinds of flexible reflexes. Fortunately, only some of the laser touched him.

"Whew"

He signed, then turned to face the invisible force that had pushed him backward.

'What should I do next?' Will the Weija token work against this energy like it did on the previous floors, or should I throw my sword to shatter the box?'

First, he used Weija token to test the force, fortunately the force wasn't that strong this time around, using this chance as the barrier is weak, he threw the sword at glass.

The book fell as the glass box shattered.

Following this occurrence, the booby traps began deactivating one after the other, as if a remote control had been used to turn them off.

MoShen approached the book with caution; the force field did not push him back this time, which pleased him.

He picked up the book....

[Discovery of divine alchemist sect's ancestral martial arts]

[Congratulations on completing Objective 1] [EXP +5]

"Yes."

MoShen couldn't help but jump into the air, quickly opening the first page of the book, the information there was too much for him as tiredness clouded his mind.

"Hey, system, could you please scan this for me?"

He's read many light novels in which the system assists the character in scanning the novel, and his shouldn't be any different.

[It is possible, but due to the master's low intelligence, the time will be extended.]

"Are you mocking me?" MoShen yelled at the system, then focused his gaze on the first page.

[Scanning....]

Immediately, he focused on the first page, and data from what was written on it began to flow into his brain at a slow rate, just as the system had predicted, but he couldn't care less.

'Hah, I wish I had a real-world system; I would have known everything in the world and earned trillions of dollars.' He reflected to himself.

"Heaven grade divine flow qi absorption technique. I really need to learn this."

He remembered vividly how much the sect sold this technique for when he was a real player; it was worth more than ten million dollars, and the people who bought it were the blood cult. When the divine alchemist sect needed money to buy a token for the heavens to meet, they sold it.

'When I finish learning this technique, I'll sell it on the black market and become the wealthiest NPC,' he says.

He reflected to himself.

The golden book contained technique compilations ranging from martial arts to breathing and even a few alchemy procedures for forging high grade pills.

'I need to keep this book safe because it will be useful to me.'

He won't be able to console himself if he loses this golden book; right now, the only safe place to keep it is the spatial ring on his finger; he stored it there and faced the exit.

When he came down, there was no force pushing him back; everything was simple, and he successfully exited the pagoda.

When he stepped outside, he discovered that everything was eerily silent. Unsure what to do, he began sprinting to the side where a fence was, knowing that he wouldn't be so dense in the brain to use the real exit.

When he reached the fence, he leapt up and climbed to the other side with his hands, finally breaking free from the sect for the first time since entering this world.
