Chapter 7 The Protagonist Appears! The Usual Cliche
Ding! Mechanical God's Memory Shard absorbed! Host Received Godly Mechanic Profession! The host received Master Hacker profession!]
[ Host receives affinity with machines and engines!]
Jun Tianyun's brain got filled with ultra-modern technologies and countless blueprints. Moreover, he also received powerful cyber skills.
" Whoa! Amazing! There are so many types of things in the memory shard! War Mechs! Particle Blasters! Neutron Battery and even a Warp Engine Blueprint!" Jun Tianyun became excited.
" That's it! Just because I can't practice martial arts, that doesn't mean that I will be powerless like a weak chicken!"
" You learned martial arts? Hell! I got a laser gun! Let's see who is faster!" Jun Tianyun's breathing turned faster.
[ Host absorbed Rune Apprentice Diary!]
Another round of information poured into the mind of Jun Tianyun. This time, he received the knowledge of runes and talismans.
Runes can be drawn on paper, and they will turn into a talisman. Draw runes on certain materials, and they will turn into charms.
These can be used for various things. Attacking or defending, creating illusions, or breaking a barrier, runes could be used for anything.
" Flowing Light Talisman, Lightning Smite Talisman, Evil Repelling Talisman..." The list after lists of talismans, and their crafting technique appeared in his mind.
" Hahaha! This is simply awesome!." Jun Tianyun laughed loudly.
[ Receiving Inheritance of God of Four Arts!]
[ Host becomes Saint of Painting!]
[ Host becomes Saint of Caligraphy]
[ Host becomes Saint of Music]
[ Host becomes Saint of Chess]
Jun Tianyun's vision turned blank as his mind buzzed. He felt like thousands of bells ringing at the same time.
His vision changed rapidly as he saw many things. He saw an old man standing in a beautiful garden.
He took a brush as he started painting. Jun Tianyun felt as if each of his strokes contained myriads of variations.
When the old man finished painting, Jun Tianyun felt that he couldn't distinguish between reality and painting.
The painting started to move as it slowly merged with the world itself. What is reality, what is painting, both became one at the same moment
The scene changed as the old man appeared in an ancient room. He held a quill pen and dipped it into pitch black ink.
His movements were subtle as he wrote a word. Jun Tianyun felt that the word suddenly became imposing like it was a decree of the heavenly court. The words looked like they have their own aura and consciousness.
The old man appeared again, sitting beneath a peach blossom tree. The moonlight showered its silver ray, along with the petals of blossoms. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om
Jun Tianyun first heard a melody of the flute, then a tune of zither drifted across. After that, various musical instruments have begun to play at the same time.
It was absolute chaos, but Jun Tianyun found it extremely pleasant to heart. Even among the chaotic flow of music, there was an unpretentious order controlling them.
Finally, The old man appeared in the void. With a wave of his hand, a giant chessboard appeared.
"Cosmos as a chessboard, Even Heavenly Kings are nothing more than pawns."
" Even the pawns who reach the end of the board, one ant can overturn the sky."
" With a thought, Myriad worlds get embroiled, but who can judge celestial dao?"
Jun Tianyun's mind shook as he saw countless worlds inside the chessboard. It became like a formation that contained heaven and earth.
" I understand all of them, yet, I don't understand any shit."
Jun Tianyun smiled wryly.
He felt that the old man was Jun Tianyun himself, as his experience felt like it was all done by Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun opened his eyes and saw that he was still sitting in the bookstore. He felt a slight pain in his mind, but he quickly recovered.
" Hm, Uncle, Can I borrow a pencil from you?" Jun Tianyun asked. The bookkeeper nodded as he gave a pencil to Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun took a piece of paper and started scribbling on it. After a while, he was shocked when he saw the drawing.
" Uncle, This is for you." Jun Tianyun smiled as he gave the paper to the bookkeeper.
" Huh? Did you just draw it?"
The bookkeeper became surprised as he saw the drawing. It was the drawing of himself!
Although the sketch was slightly rough, the portrait of that bookkeeper looked very realistic.
" It has been more than fifty years since I am managing this bookstore. However, I rarely see such a young and genius artist like you."
The bookkeeper praised.
"It's nothing, Uncle. There is still a long way to go." Jun Tianyun replied modestly.
" Wait, since this bookstore is so old, there must be some good things here." Jun Tianyun thought of something as he activated his Eyes of Fortune.
The shop turned with as most of the books were green in color. Few martial arts manuals were pale blue in color.
However, Jun Tianyun saw a violet radiance behind the cabinet behind the bookkeeper.
" Uncle, what type of books you have kept there?" Jun Tianyun pointed at the book cabinet as he asked.
" Those are my personal collection of antique books." The bookkeeper spoke.
" Uncle, Can you show that bamboo scroll." Jun Tianyun asked again as he looked at the scroll with a violet aura.
" That scroll? Hehe, Young man, you are pretty lucky. I don't let anyone touch them."
" However, since you have made such a good sketch of mine, I will allow you today." The bookkeeper smiled as he gave that bamboo scroll to Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun held that scroll as he examined it. It gave an ancient vibe, but there wasn't any notable damage on it.
[ Ding! Eight Point Spirit Needle Technique Detected!]
" Oh, So it's an acupuncture technique? But it will be useless for me since I can't use my Internal Energy."
Jun Tianyun sighed. Since it glowed with a violet ray, it must be a more powerful technique than other martial art manuals. However, too bad that his meridians were sealed by World Law.
[ Ding! Compatibility Detected! Host can learn this technique as it doesn't use Internal Energy!]
Jun Tianyun became happy as he saw the prompt.
[ Choice One: Host can use 100 fortune points to learn this technique. However, he still needs to practice it to become proficient!]
[ Choice two: Host has a Skill Mastering Card. He can use it to learn instantly and use the technique!]
" Use Skill Mastering Card!" Jun Tianyun clicked.
[ Ding! Host learned Eight Point Spirit Needle Technique!]
Jun Tianyun smiled as he received all the information about the technique.
As he was brooding, a commotion happened outside the store.
" Look! An accident has happened!"
" Oh no! An old man got hit by a truck! Someone call an ambulance!"
Jun Tianyun hurriedly got outside as he saw an old man lying on the road, washed with blood.
" Wait, I can save that old man with my Eight Point Spirit Needle Method."
Jun Tianyun thought.
The old man's body was heavily impacted. If the blood loss continued, he would get a brain hemorrhage.
Eight Point Spirit Needle Technique can be used without any needles.
[ Consume 50 energy to perform Eight Point Spirit Needle Technique?"]
A prompt appeared as Jun Tianyun clicked on "Yes"
" Call the ambulance! I will carry them."
Jun Tianyun shouted as he tried to help the old man.
But secretly, he performed the acupuncture technique, stopping the blood.
" Hold there! If you move like that! That old grandpa will die!"
" Let me handle it! I know Traditional Needle Technique!" A young man shouted, startling the crowd."
" Hmph! Young brat, do you think you are a doctor? Traditional Medicine? Don't you think you have learned it after watching some drama?" Someone sneered.
" All I know is that only I can perform Nine Revolution
Golden Acupuncture Technique. I can stop his acupoint and unclog the blood from his head." The young man replied proudly.
" Wait, Such familiar dialogue, such familiar trope."
Jun Tianyun gazed at that young man as he activated the Eyes of Fortune.
Suddenly, a golden halo erupted from the back of that young man, making all the colors around him pale.
[ Use 200 fortune points to reveal the status window]
" Yes."
Name: Chen Ye
Power: 300 ( Growing) ( Mid stage Martial Apprentice)
Destiny point: 380
Special Power: Yin Yang Vision, Hidden Martial Body
Techniques: Rapid Thunder Fist, Windgale Steps, Nine Revolution Golden Acupuncture Method
" Ah, No wonder. So this is Chen Ye, Special eyes Protagonist, eh?"
Jun Tianyun mumbled. His mouth salivated as he saw the destiny point.
" Oh, I stole 20 Destiny points from him. That's why it's not a round figure." Jun Tianyun realized.
Suddenly, he understood the plot.
An unknown old man gets hit by a truck, and a protagonist who can see through the body appears. He would use his technique to save the old man while face slapping the bystanders.
" This old man must be a business bigshot, and he must have a pretty granddaughter. An she will fall for Chen Ye, eh?"
" That's not gonna happen, Author."
Jun Tianyun laughed deviously as he silently prayed for the old man.
" Sorry, Old man. I have to use your body for a bit."
Jun Tianyun pressed some additional acupoints silently as he smiled at Chen Ye.
