Chapter 2: Information
"Compile information of this city, the leading clans/families here. I also want all the information about this company here."
She nodded and went to do what I told her.
Xia Lu soon came back dressed.
"Tell me, what is cultivation, and how many levels are there as far as you know about it.." I commanded.
"Cultivation is essentially absorbing Qi from Heaven and Earth and incorporating it into your own body to live longer. The more Qi one has, the longer one can live. There are many different stages in Qi cultivation. The starting 4 stages are the Qi refining Realm, the Qi condensation Realm, The Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Mansion Realm. I do not know anything beyond the Qi Mansion Realm."
I nodded and then said," I want to know the amount of assets your company has, and the entire list of debt any clan has towards you."
"Right away master," Xia Lu said as he left to get what I asked for.
A mirror was nearby so I decided to see my appearance.
It seemed that I retained my looks from earth.
I looked pretty tall for this world, at 1.85m. I did not have a muscular body or something like that. In fact, you could see body fat around me. I was not too fat, yet it still was definitely not enough to be classified as 'Average '
I still wore a normal T-Shirt and pants, so I do now know how Meng whatever was able to classify me as a scholar before.
Speak of the devil and they will come, as soon as I thought of her she appeared and passed me a stack of documents, Xia Lu followed soon after.
I then sat at Xia Lu's desk and decided to read through everything here, but right before that, I told them something.
"This world should have something like demonic beasts or monsters right? There should be a breed of insects as well. Get me a bucket full of them, some oil and a match-stick as well."
The great thing about manipulating them was that they did not judge what I said, they just moved as quickly as possible to get me what I wanted.
I then read through the documents.
This world was exactly like a typical Wuxia novel. I am in the 'Northern Continent,' of the world right now, in one of the many cities under the Zhu Kingdom.
Sects also exist in this world, and according to the documents, sects were supreme in the Northern Continent. Only 1 major Empire is able to compete with all the sects around the world.
The Zhu kingdom is under some sect known as the 'Fire Fist' sect, a 2nd tier sect. This specific sect is also coming for an entrance exam in 3 months.
Inside the City I am currently in, known as City A, there are 3 main families, all of whom are under constant competition.
Apparently, there used to be 4 great families, but the Jiang Family is in severe decline and have already been dethroned…they also owe a great debt to Xia Lu which he was planning to collect soon which would probably destroy the family.
I didn't know why, but this seemed too much like the typical plot of a standard wuxia novel.
The other 3 clans, Fu, Ma and Zhi clans also owe Xia Lu some money, most of which is overdue, but they have been paying him with women instead of money.
The currency in this world is also typically gold, and spirit stones.
Okay, as of right now, I need to level up, and learn how to cultivate.
From my understanding, I can normally level up in the system by killing monsters to gain experience and stats, but I am going to have to cultivate separately to raise my cultivation level. Maybe by doing so, I will increase in stats as well.
I deduced this because there was a new stat that was not there before.
[Talent- The talent the host has in cultivation, this stat is a special stat and does not increase through the typical system free points, special methods must be used to increase talent]
Special methods probably referred to special alchemy pills, items, or something like that.
Strength- The quality or state of being physically strong.
Stamina- The ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort
Agility-Ability to move quickly and easily
Intelligence- Ability to comprehend arts/skills without using experience. Also helps in regenerating Qi
Sense- 5 Senses of the body, and a supernatural 3rd eye to see everything around you in a 3rd person perspective. The higher the stat, the more distance you can observe
Qi- Supernatural Energy to help prolong life and strengthen the body
Luck- The manipulation of probability to suit the favor of the person with the luck stat.
Just as I was done looking through most of the stuff here, my 2 servants came in with the items I requested.
Xia Lu put the bucked onto the floor and I could see a pile of insects inside of the bucket.
When I used analyze I learnt that they were all of the Qi Refining Stage.
I poured some oil into the bucket and tossed in a lit match-stick.
I then saw something that would always make me really happy.
[You have leveled up]
