CHAPTER 5: Grandfather and Cultivating

Raj didn't know about his grandfather's power, so he tried using his spiritual sense and was horrified by seeing the sheer intensity of the spiritual energy surrounding his grandfather. "My child, don't be afraid. I know that you have started cultivating by yourself and I am very proud of you".

 Raj was surprised because all these words enter directly into his brain and that so he knew that his grandfather used telepathy. According to his knowledge, this skill could only be used by those who had reached the body Realm.

Elder turned to his son, Mahesh. "Let your son see the whole mansion after all, it is his first time visiting his grandfather's house". Mahesh nodded and started talking with his father about their last meeting.

Raj, sensing an opportunity, excused himself.

Ding!

[Natural Mission: Scan the mansion (1/100%)]

[Reward: INT +1]

[Time limit: 1 hours 30 min]

[Failure: STA -1]

Realizing the mission has already started, Raj said bye to his grandpa and ran off.

After finally exploring through some rooms, he checked his mission board.

[Scan the mansion: 30.8%/100%]

[Time Reaming: 00:50:23]

Determined to complete his mission, he ran as fast as he can so he can relax once it was done. Half an hour later, he saw the mission board.

[Natural Mission Completed]

[INT + 1]

[Hidden Mission Completed]

[STA+1]

He asked Lily about the hidden mission and the reply he got from her was shocking:

[Every mission has its hidden mission]

Raj inquired further, "What was the hidden mission?".

Lily responded:

[Run as fast as you can / Complete before 10 min of the remaining time is left]

As soon as she responded he got another notification.

Ding!

[Chain Mission: Find and scan the secret room (1): 0/1]

[Reward: Random]

He stood up surprised because it was his first chain mission.

After taking some rest he started running and try to find any hint or some clue like he always saw in movies. After going through more than 150 rooms without success, he took a rest on a big sofa in the main hall. While resting, he noticed something peculiar about his surroundings.

He finally saw the blueprint of the mansion and discovered some errors in it. He saw that there are total of 5 secret rooms: one in the basement, another in room no. 52, 23, 125, and about the last one he only got a clue.

When he found and unlock first secret room, he got a notification:

[Chain Mission Completed]

[All stats +1]

[Chain Mission 2: Find and scan the secret (room) 0/1]

[Reward: Random]

It took 20 minutes to check the three secret rooms because he didn't know how to unlock the secret door and each required a different method to unlock, one time he had to rotate a bird statue to open a room, one time there is a secret switch inside/below a table that is connected with a wall, one time he has to just unlock using key that he already got by chance.

Each time he discovered a secret room, he received rewards from the system.

[LUCK stat Unlocked]

[STA +1]

[Appraisal Eye]

He unlocked a new attribute and a new skill which excited him to finish the next mission and awaited reward.

Now, Raj only had one last quest to complete and that was to find the last room that he couldn't enter without permission from his grandfather. He sighs and walked away from his grandpa's room but he didn't notice that a person is keeping an eye on him from the start of his mission, "I can't believe that he found all the secret rooms".

"Big brother Raj what are you doing here?" Raj heard a childish voice behind him.

It was voice of the youngest member of Mehta family, Mytree, she was obsessed about her older brother, Shlok. Everyone in his family knows that how much she is obsessed with her older brother.

Seeing her, Raj showed an awkwardly expression.

"You really don't know who I am!", after seen his reaction Mytree exclaimed with surprise. "I am Mytree, daughter of Sudhir and sister of the smart, handsome, the best brother in the world, Shlok", she said it in a very proud expression and went in to describe of her perfect brother and started mumbling praises incessantly 'my brother this, my brother that…'.

Raj looked at her with a complex expression and though 'what is her problem and why is she so obsessed with his brother'. He decided to ignore her and he start walking towards his room.

When she stopped mumbling, she noticed no one was there and feeling embarrassed she promised, "Next time we meet, I'll show you who my brother is".

After completing all this missions, it was already nighttime and he went to take a bath.

Ding!

[Natural mission: Meditate for 48 hours]

[Reward: Reinforced body 1]

After reading this he had bewilderment because he knows how to meditate even though he hasn't learnt it and confusion because he doesn't get the meaning of reward, even Lily don't know about the meaning of the reward.

 When he started meditating, his skin, muscles, eyes, heart, kidney, liver, lungs, exoskeleton and in last the brain, all started getting stronger, all the elements inside his body were transforming his every cell, tissues, organs and bones. The transformation felt like he was being eaten alive or he has jumped into acid.

He though it has been an hour so he stopped to see the time and got surprised because it's been only five minutes.

So now starts the torture time. He took rest for 15 minutes and meditated for 20 minutes and just like this he completed 3 hours of meditation and got unconscious near his bed.
