My Checkpoint System Turned Me Into The Godfather of Humanity

Chapter 26: A Terrible Prediction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Five months passed.

The little tortoise followed Chu He’s cultivation and had been able to produce some results.

Even though it was just an ordinary beast, its foundation was not weak at all.

For the few years it spent with Chu He, it had eaten plenty of amazing foods.

Even though most of it was wasted because it could not cultivate, the remainder was enough to silently make it undergo some changes.

When it started cultivating, it had a feeling as if it was slowly accumulating experience. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

To be accurate, even though Chu He did not really pay much attention to guide it, he just transferred a cultivation technique to it and did not further question it. However, he would occasionally feed it with some precious tablets which helped it much more than any guidance could.

In just half a year, the little tortoise was on par with a Postcelestial Fifth to Sixth Erudition fighter. Adding its tough shell, even if it went up against a Postcelestial Seventh to Eighth Erudition fighter, it could still protect itself even if it was outclassed.

The most important thing was that its intelligence activation had progressed much faster along with the cultivation.

Now, no one could possibly call it an ordinary tortoise.

For example, it had now also started to imitate how Chu He walked, with two claws on the floor, and the other two tucked behind its back. The only issue was that it had a short tail dragging on the ground, causing its little steps to seem rather wobbling when it walked, which looked somewhat weird. 1

The book depository just remained quiet as the time passed by rapidly without anyone noticing.

Then one day, the silence was broken.

“Brother Lil Chu, I’m back!”

Zhao Yuling’s voice was carried in from far away.

Chu He set down his book and his mouth curled into a smile.

“This girl, she just went out for a trip. Her voice is as recognizable as ever and seems much more lively. Indeed, going out to train was useful.”

Chu He nodded to himself.

‘It seems that occasionally going out to have a stroll is indeed useful!’

In no time, the fragrant smell was flowing along with the breeze. Zhao Yuling, who was in a white female fighter attire, held onto a long sword and appeared before Chu He.

Even though it was just a few months since they last met, Zhao Yuling had undergone a huge transformation!

Her body proportions had become much more balanced.

Going outside was indeed a much better training than staying in the house.

For both the mentality and body figure.

Previously, Zhao Yuling had always been eating fancy food, and her body figure always left a chubby impression. Now, she had slimmed down and was a true beauty.

“Mmm, no bad!”

Chu He expressed his approval.

A few months had passed, and Zhao Yuling’s foundation had become much more stable.

“Brother Lil Chu, do you know how much fun the outside society is? During my trip, I attended a Martial Arts Meetup and bumped into many powerhouses. I even made a name for myself.”

“Right now, on the outside, I’m known as the White Shirt Angel and am even ranked number one of the generation in the rankings of the dojo.” 2

Zhao Yuling was chattering without end and started telling Chu He all the things she had witnessed when she was outside.

Her energy seemed limitless.

Chu He’s face had a faint smile as he listened to it all silently.

‘This girl is quite the tough one. It’s just been a few months, and she’s close to causing havoc on the outside!’

If it was not for her sufficiently strong abilities and the variety of techniques at her disposal, perhaps she might have landed in trouble!

Right at that moment, a little thing that was taking slow and small footsteps came to the middle of the two people. Its little eyes that resembled green beans looked straight ahead and raised its head high.

Its eyeballs kept on glittering as it looked at Zhao Yuling with its peripheral vision.

It was obvious that it was trying to make its presence known.

It had only been half a year since they last met, and it could still vividly remember the Zhao Yuling who had always tortured it in the past.

“Hey! Little tortoise, how did you manage to walk?”

Zhao Yuling finally noticed the little tortoise. She gazed at it from head to toe, and swept it with an inspecting gaze, her face revealing her astonishment.

The little tortoise glanced at Zhao Yuling obliquely. It raised its head with its claws behind his back, then it took small footsteps and left the scene arrogantly.

After not seeing each other for some time, they now viewed each other with a different perspective!

Currently, it was a tortoise that could stand on its feet.

“That makes it even more arrogant than before!”

Zhao Yuling grasped the little tortoise and held onto its head while lifting it.

With one hand, she flicked on various parts of the little tortoise’s body, making dull “dong” sounds.

“Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!”

The little tortoise opened its mouth and revealed its teeth. Its four claws hovered mid-air in clear protest.

However, Zhao Yuling instantly turned a blind eye and kept holding onto it and teased it to her heart’s content.

The little tortoise had become much tougher, which made her feelings for it completely different now.

...

After Zhao Yuling returned, the book depository had become more lively for some time. However, after her trip to the outside, her personality had become much wilder and she became rather hard to control. Chu He understood that he had to let her venture out into society to train her mentality.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and another five years had gone by.

Chu He was already 67-year-old!

He had been staying in the book depository for 53 years.

His cultivation had reached the final stage of the Fifth Level of the Fourth Turn and was steadily progressing to the Sixth Level of the Fourth Turn.

As for the little tortoise, for the past five years, it had already surpassed the beast boundaries and had attained the level of a beast undergoing an evolution, which was equal to Precelestial powerhouse for humans.

It had become even more human-like, and could help Chu He clean up the entire book depository!

As for Zhao Yuling, it had been half a year since she last returned to the book depository, and no one knew what had become of her!

Based on past trends, she should be returning at this time!

Even though Chu He had not set any rules, that had long ago become her standard routine.

She would return punctually every half year.

She would come and report her safety and tell Chu He about all the interesting things that occurred outside to get rid of his boredom.

“Could that girl have landed in some trouble?!”

Chu He muttered to himself.

Even though for the past five years, Zhao Yuling had solidified the basics of the Precelestial realm, and had attained the state of Ultimate Precelestial which meant she would be able to break through to the King’s realm anytime. If it was not for Chu He’s desire to train her mentality properly, she would have long ago been able to break through into the King’s realm. Even so, her cultivation was still considered top-tier in the entire Xia clan.

However, that was only true provided no Demi-King had shown up.

If she had offended a Demi-King, her current ability would still be lacking!

Even though Chu He had given her a forbidden technique for self-defense, he was worried that she would be unable to use it in time, or she had forgotten to use it. After all, he gave that to her a few years ago.

Chu He got anxious.

Suddenly, he had a thought and felt that Zhao Yuling might be in danger, and it was not because he was being too worried and paranoid.

With his current level of cultivation, he could somehow sense vaguely the blessings and dangers of the people around him.

It always made him uneasy when he had sudden thoughts like this.

Just like ordinary people, when their loved ones were at the brink of death, even though they were not by their side, they would still suddenly feel a sense of dread or have a nightmare.

The thought of it made Chu He took out a Ba Gua jade plate. That was the first treasure that he picked up. Adding on to his cultivation, he could even predict most living beings’ blessings and the dangers looming over those having a lower rank than him.

Chu He paid full attention to control the jade plate. Taking into account the birthday of Zhao Yuling, he started calculating.

Finally.

The hexagram had revealed itself!

Bad Prediction! 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Chu He’s expression changed slightly and frowned.

‘She really is in trouble.’

He got up from the deck chair and said to the little tortoise, “I’m heading out for a day. You stay in the house.”

The little tortoise’s face looked stunned as it lifted its head, puzzled.

Chu He did not care if it had reacted or not. He moved abruptly and with just one step, he stepped out of the book depository. He leaped into the air and vanished.

That was the first time he left the book depository after tens of years of meticulously attending the checkpoint.

He had to end whatever it was quickly and settle the issue. He needed to rush back before midnight so he could continue marking the checkpoints.
