Chapter 39 A Drop in the Ocean
After leaving the Hall of Righteousness, Xiao Muyu discussed some matters with Ye Bufan and Wang Suiyue, while Xiao Jin went directly back to his wooden cabin.
Regardless of whether Lin Yan was bluffing or not, this incident was real. Leaving aside the common people, it allowed them to confront their deep-seated hatred.
But right now, what Xiao Jin cares about most is—Chu Xiong?
Thinking back to the initial two choices of the system, if Chu Xiong were also reborn in this other world like me... would he also have a system by his side?
"No, I have to go to Huizhou no matter what."
After a moment's thought, Xiao Jin finally made this decision.
Whether by coincidence or not, Xiao Jin would likely not be able to settle down until he saw the Eighth Prince Chu Xiong in person.
Before proceeding, let's check our system values first:
Agility Value: 22 - Get Agility Analysis...
[Defense Value: 20 - Defense Analysis Received...]
[Strength Value: 100 - Learn Strength Analysis...]
[Spiritual Power: 0 - All values 100 - Unlocks Spiritual Power Acquisition]
[Unknown? — Spiritual Power 10000 — Unlocked Unknown]
"Um? 』
Before leaving the valley, Xiao Jin's agility value was 20. After leaving the valley, he inexplicably gained two more points. Xiao Jin had no idea why.
Could it be that girl?
After thinking it over, there shouldn't be anyone else besides the girl.
After guessing, I stopped worrying and focused on the strength value...
Before leaving Xiali Village, after his injuries were fully healed, his strength value increased by 9 points, and there were no further surprises.
"With just 11 points of strength, he gained 9 points from a single blow by a ninth-rank samurai..."
Xiao Jin knew that it wasn't the ninth-rank Iron Slaughter Guard's full-force attack, but the gains were still considerable!
This brings to mind Ye Bufan or Wang Suiyue again... what if these two controlled their strength to attack me...?
Is it a system bug?
"If that's the case, wouldn't that power level reach 100 in a short time?"
"Regardless, the two of them must give it a try before reaching Huizhou."
With that thought flashing through his mind, he checked his strength stats again...
『......』
Before reaching Xiali Village, it seemed that his strength had already returned to 100. Now that he's saving the villagers in this canyon, why is his strength still only 100?
"System! Can you provide a reasonable explanation?"
No response.
"Damn it, you son of a bitch system..."
"Wait a minute! Why is there an extra '' mark next to this 100 Strength value?"
Previously, none of the values had a '' symbol, and now only the strength value has a '' symbol, Xiao Jin is quite certain.
Unfortunately, the system did not respond at all.
After another soft "ma ma pi" sound, Xiao Jin, no longer bothered by it, looked directly at his spiritual power level... unsurprisingly, there was no change.
"We need to get all the values to 100 as soon as possible!"
Although the exact nature of this spiritual power is unknown, it is certain that those above the ninth rank are virtually invincible in this Divine Land!
Hopefully, that Chu Xiong was just a coincidence.
In Xiao Jin's mind, if Chu Xiong's situation was not a coincidence, then he would most likely also have a system, and it was very likely that it was a second system... It was because of this second system that Xiao Jin felt inexplicably uneasy.
Not only must they go to Huizhou City, but they must also do so before the Eighth Prince Chu Xiong leaves the Southern Region.
Just then, the door opened slightly... Mother, Xiao Muyu!
Looking closely, I saw that my mother, Xiao Muyu, looked quite serious. I was about to get up, but at Xiao Muyu's prompting, I sat back down.
Sitting down close to Xiao Jin, Xiao Muyu looked directly at him and said solemnly, "Now that my son is clear-headed and possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, it's time for us, mother and son, to face some things together."
Xiao Jin understood perfectly what his mother, Xiao Muyu, meant, but her seriousness suggested she had other intentions. Xiao Jin patiently listened to what she was about to say.
Turning her gaze forward, Xiao Muyu seemed hesitant or conflicted: "I will be leaving for the Northern Region soon, while you will have to stay in the Southern Region."
"this......"
Xiao Jin could guess roughly why his mother went to the Northern Region, but what was her intention in leaving him in the Southern Region?
Xiao Jin didn't want to be separated from his mother, Xiao Muyu, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
After a brief silence, it seemed that Xiao Muyu was also conflicted about this.
Finally, Xiao Jin couldn't hold back any longer: "Why don't we go together?"
Upon hearing this question, a resolute glint flashed in Xiao Muyu's eyes, and she stopped hesitating: "There are two reasons why I'm letting you stay in the Southern Region for the time being." She paused, then looked at Xiao Jin again: "Firstly, it's to let you take over the Xiao family's secret guards' operations in the Southern Region; secondly, there are some things that require your personal planning and strategizing."
"But Mother, your safety..." At this moment, Xiao Jin didn't care about making a living or strategizing; he only cared about his mother, Xiao Muyu's, safety.
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Muyu interrupted, "This time, the Northern Region will be accompanied by Commander Wang and a group of Blood Guards, and I will only be behind the scenes, so Jin'er doesn't need to worry."
Having said that, Xiao Jin wanted to say something more, but ultimately chose to remain silent. After all, his mother, Xiao Muyu, would not have risked her life to survive this long without careful planning.
Even if he was unwilling, it was only a temporary separation, and besides, he had to go to Huizhou City... Xiao Jin stopped worrying about it altogether.
"As for you, Jin'er, although I don't need to worry about your ability to protect yourself, you still need to be discreet in everything you do, and you must not act rashly!"
Having severely injured Wang Suiyue with that punch, and acting discreetly and solely for self-preservation, Xiao Muyu did not believe that any expert in the Southern Region could harm Xiao Jin.
Of course, this is just Xiao Muyu's opinion.
"Jin'er will obey Mother's teachings!"
After receiving Xiao Jin's response, Xiao Muyu hesitated for a moment before saying again, "If we can kill that traitor Chu, whom I have a blood feud with, I will tell you everything about your father."
Before Xiao Jin could react, he said, "But during this time, you must not 'touch' the spiritual power you know."
Why is that?
"I will obey your mother's every command!" At this moment, Xiao Muyu's expression was more serious than ever before.
"Jin'er knows this, and will remember it forever."
Xiao Jin was very curious about his father and that untouchable spiritual power, but since his mother wouldn't say anything, he couldn't press her for an answer.
After Xiao Muyu left, Xiao Jin, alone in his room, fell into deep thought...
"If possessing spiritual power equates to being above the ninth rank, and such a being doesn't exist in this Divine Continent... then where did Father come from?"
Could it be that this other world isn't limited to just the Divine Land?
With these thoughts in mind, I instinctively thought of the system: [Unknown? — Spiritual Power 10000 — Unlocked Unknown]
"Wonima, just possessing spiritual power is enough to reach the ninth rank or higher, then this system's 10000 power points..."
Xiao Jin, who was inexplicably covered in a cold sweat, didn't know whether to feel fortunate or something else.
"If I possessed these 10000 spiritual power points, how terrifying would I be?"
"And this land of China, isn't it but a drop in the ocean, utterly insignificant..."
"Fuck your motherfucker, you damn system, can't you give me a detailed explanation?"
Unsurprisingly, there was no response, leaving Xiao Jin, driven by curiosity, in a real bind!
"Well, now's not the time to think about these things."
"I forgot to ask Mother and the others when they left. I need to find Wang Suiyue first to test my strength gain."
Regardless of what happens, strengthening ourselves as much as possible is the most urgent task at present.
