Good thing I have Physique Nourishing Gu. Muscle injuries like mine would have incompasitated a normal man for a week at least, but all I needed was a full 20 hours of continuous use of Physique Nourishing Gu.
My body has completely recovered to its peak and I can feel my body has become stronger. It isn't much. It is, maybe, a 3 or 5 percent increase, but that is still extremely good!
Such growth would have taken me a couple of weeks to achieve, but I grew so much from just 5 rounds of armwrestling with Xiong Li.
We are currently at 1:0 in my favour and the next event is going to be fun! Ever heard of a workout position called plank? What was the world record for the longest plank in the world again? I think it was something like 8 hours? How about 8 days!
Well, technically I can do it indefinitely, as I can naturally keep doing the plank for 10 hours, but I can heal my body once every hour or so using my primeval essence.
I cannot be defeated! My body is built for strength and endurance! I am loosing 1% stamina every hour, so lasting 100 hour shouldn't even be a problem!
That is if we cut the Heavenly essence treasure lotus out of the equation! The primeval essence recovery rate is 55% every 30 minutes.
If I optimize everything to the limit, then I can theoretical do the plank for 8 days! How long can the little bitch Xiong Li last?! We are about to find out!
The Lion cliff side is called that because of a huge cave in the cliff, which looks like a roaring lion's mouth. It is at the western side of the Xiong clan and is quite a visible landmark.
You can see it if you look around and try. If you try hard enough, you can even see inside the cave.
We are going to have our competition there! Anyone can check on us at any point in time, so the mental pressure will be there to the fullest!
He can last, at most, 2 days there. Giving my teammates enough time to gather all the information needed and we can clean this house out! I am also going to buy a rank 1 Gu I have been looking for!
Remember the rank 2 little light Gu I was talking about? This Gu is the final step to creating the said Gu! I won't reveal it yet, but you might be able to guess my recipe if you think about it hard enough.
I can both extort the Gu Yue clan using this recipe and upgrade my current arsenal of Gus'! A recipe for a rank 2 little light Gu will most definitely go for at least 200k primeval stones!
My total wealth would begins reaching the 600K range and I'll have to upgrade my primeval cloud Gu into a primeval elder Gu.
And for such a dream to come true, I don't even need to defeat this blabbering musclebrain. Defeating him will help a lot, but it isn't necessary. Still, I wouldn't mind putting him in his place!
"You actually came! To think your spirit and confidence are still intact after losing to a junior like you did yesterday!" He didn't say anything and looked towards me with a crowd behind him, chearing him on and insulting me.
He probably realized I wouldn't be defeated in a battle of gab and gave up trash talking to fight me. I smiled in delight.
The trash talk was fun, but it takes too much mental energy to completely suppress him, so this is more enjoyable.
I pointed towards the care in the cliff side and said "Do you know what the plank position is?" He looked at me and dropped into the plant stance to show off.
Quite an interesting way to show off, but I don't care. All the hype needed for this diversion has already been built up. No matter how much any clan tries, news of this will spread.
I nodded at his action and said "Round 2 is related to that form. We are to enter that form at the exact same time and persist for as long as possible. The first to break the stance will lose this round. If i win, you will give me the baby innate bear strength Gu. And if by some miracle you win, I will keep my word and streak around the Xiong clan 5 times! Let us begin!"
I mean, who wants to listen to two muscular men doing the plank for hours on end? I'll just give a quick summary.
The competition was really fucking hard! The guy lasted for 5 days rather than the expected 2 and is still going! Holly fucking shit! What kind of Gu was he given to become so much stronger?! My muscles are hella tired, but I can last a few more days.
He, on the other hand, doesn't look too good. He looks to be in constant pain and is barely holding onto his consciousness.
I might be slightly sadistic, but I like bullying Fang Zheng and shitstains like him. Xiong Li isn't really a bitch like Fang Zheng and is pretty okay, so I don't care about bullying him and I am not as glory-seeking as I show others.
Guess I will go easy on him. "Xiong Li, we can both see and know you are way beyond your limit and I haven't even begun reaching mine. I recommend just leaving it at that. I'll save you some face in exchange for the baby innate bear strength Gu worm. What do you say?"
The guy looked at me with his strained face and showed a hit of surprise. He was probably not expecting someone with my character (The one I pretend is me) and was so surprised he lost concentration and fell down.
"Whoops! Gosh darn it! My elbow slipped Can't believe I made such a rookie mistake!"I fell on my chest and stood up the very next moment.
Xiong Li stared at me as n disbelief as he also fell on his chest and slowly stood up with shaky arms. "Why?"
I sighed and said "I am here for the competition, not the title. The title means nothing to me, as I am not a strength path cultivator. I am more inclined towards the light path or the fire path or the healing path. The Gu Yue offered a handsome reward if I succeed and obtain the title, but that reward is useless and not worth it if I have to shame an honourable man like you.
For the honour of your clan, you used a muscle destruction Gu. I cannot close an eye and ignore such a heroics man's effort!"
The look on Xiong Li's eyes said everything. He had been completely moved by my little speech and his goodwill towards me has shot through the roof!
He broke eye contact with me and said "You have my appreciation. I am eternally grateful for what you have done for me!" I smiled at him and helped him stand up.
Muscle destruction Gu might sound ridiculous, but it is actually a rank 2 healing path Gu. It heals in an unique way. It destroys parts of a humans muscle structure that are damaged and replaces them with artificial ones.
This Gu is like the Stone Aperture Gu for the body. It provides instant benefits in exchange for long-term suffering. My system described the effects as painful, so I can't imagine how much pain this man has gone through and how much potential he lost for this battle.
I hate people like him. People willing to sacrifice potential for long-term benefits are idiots, but I need allies in Xiong clan, or when the war begins, I will die a dog's death, targeted by all out of shame and anger.
I walked alongside Xiong Li back to the clan house and we celebrated his victory together, as if we were long time friends and agreed to settle this matter once and for all with a friendly sparring match tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
This will have to be a loss I eat, but I will win admiration and will never be even slightly despised by the Xiong clan by the end of this week.
The Xiong clan had been completely cleaned of all benefits to me and I can finally return to Gu Yue clan after tomorrow and claim my bounty along with creating a new recipe!
I won't be humiliated and the chances of me obtaining the baby innate strength bear Gu are low, but that has always been a side benefit! It is insignificant and I can purchase it at any time for 21 Gu points!
My main goals have all been accomplished and even some side goals are complete! My strength will be through the roof and even reach the pinnacle of rank 2 after this small trip.
If the next phase of my plan also goes well, then I will gain the strength to battle even rank 3 experts or even compete with the current Bai Ning Bing himself!
I am sorry for lacking in uploads, but I recently started playing Rimworld and I got addicted to it too much! I played it for 12 hours straight yesterday and boy do I not regret anything! Even these bloodshot eyes are worth it!
Cultivating as a C rank is hard man! It takes so fucking long without a liquor worm! Even with my optimisations, I can only barely reach a 65% talent! I have half a mind to just buy a liquor worm from my system and make a four Flavours liquor worm! Fang Yuan never got to use this Gu, because of Bai Ning Bing's help, but I can make the most of it and need it a lot!
My system sells those relic things for the highest price. Even if it was cheap I still wouldn't buy it! They freak me out!
How can something just increase your cultivation by an entire stage in a couple of seconds? There must be a drawback! Even The Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu has a drawback.
The literal image of the Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu is a double edged sword! I am not kidding! It has a black sword attached to a hilt and a white sword attached directly on the other side, making a perfect 180°.
This thing is, by definition, a double edged sword! It turn mortals into gods and gods into mortals!
Well, not literally. It is the most effective tool on really talented people like Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan and some other extremely lucky people.
Now this, this is a real godly tool! I went browsing through the shop and found the evolved form of Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu. It is called Fate Truly Flipped Upside Down Gu and this one costs 100 billion Gu points! The best part about it? Anyone can use it! It has absolutely no drawbacks!
Can you guess what it does? It flips your fucking cultivation! Basically, you can instantly go from mortal to god! Rank 1 initial to rank 9 peak and vice versa. Holy merry mother of god!
The description of this thing isn't as detailed as the others and just says "Flips the very existence of a being into its complete opposite." I assume it means mortal to immortal and vise versa by existence.
It sounds very weird, but it is an immortal version of Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu, so it should be a better version of it, therefore it reverses cultivation!
One simple command and the god standing in front of me will turn into a mortal with no cultivation! This is literally the most overpowered thing in existence!
It is, quite literally, a perfect main character backstory for a demon venerable, who suddenly became a rank 1 mortal again! The weirdest part? Someone has actually made this and used it at some point in time! Just the idea of someone using this is ludicrous.
This one is the same double edged sword, but it has green and violet blades. Quite interesting. Still, what the fuck is up with that price! 400 billion Gu points?! Even if we did each rank as an increment of power, we would still only get 10 to the power of 9, which is 1 billion.
A legendary Gu, that can create a second aperture, that can be cultivated, costs less than 1 million Gu points. What kind of ungodly price is this 400 billion?! If I ever get that Gu, I am definitely using it on Chun Jack. The Idea of a a guy, who can kill gods without a cultivation becoming rank 9 or maybe 10 sounds amazing! How many ranks are there?
Enough of me ranting, what have I been up to, you might ask? Well, I am currently holding the primeval elder Gu, which is smiling quite a bit. I have amassed a fortune of 400 thousand primeval stones, but the hype around my strength enhancement hall has died down and I have to pay taxes now!
The clan considers you an adult if you compete in the year end battle, so Age doesn't matter. I don't make any money anymore! The huge 20% income tax has worn me down and made me lose over 100K primeval stones!
My primeval elder Gu is somewhat unhappy, but the 100K, ach! My heart hurts! God I hate taxes! Nope, I am still ranting! This whole entry is going to be me complaining about high prices like a boomer!
Sigh. At least I have some good news! It is March now and Jia Fu has come to town! My cultivation has managed to climb it's way up to near upper rank as well and my Gu points are high and dry!
A couple more days and I will get that sweetass Crimson red essence in my aperture! Short version, one red steel relic Gu and I will be at the pinnacle of existence! Well, for Gu Yue clan at least. Rank 3 is a high rank okey?!
The wolf tide is soon to begin, so I gotta watch out for that. I am also going to Buy the liquor worm Jia Fu has and save it. I am <insert arbitrary percentage.exe> sure my cultivate will drop down to nothing if I use the Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu along with the stone aperture one.
Even with all the other boosts and bonuses, a liquor worm is a lot more useful. I will have the recovery speed of a ten extreme physique along with the Heavenly essence treasure lotus and the Liquor worm's help! My cultivation will skyrocket!
The most pressing matter right now is how will the clan deal with the dried up spirit spring and the Xiong clan. I have already submitted my report and it was very thorough.
Some other people have also been sent on scouting missions. As you know, I have my own team now! Well... Had. We had a healer, a supporter, a tank and even some guy with pretty high talent, who has a good eye.
The missions we do are mostly high-risk-higher-reward ones. The dumbasses constantly get overshadowed by my mortal brother and they all feel jealousy towards him.
And guess what? Those idiots actually plotted against my brother! What the fuck is wrong with them?! We were scouting a wolf den and one of the idiots secretly shot a moonblade at where my brother's sword, which was lodged in a tree.
Chun Jack has a combined weight of 375KG. He cannot stand on a tree branch for too long or it will break. He came up with the idea of stabbing his sword into a tree and standing on the sword. I helped fine tune the physics aspect of his strategy and made sure his body weight would not bend the sword and now he can do it so well only small disfigurement happens to the sword.
The dumbasses shot a moonblade in such a way, that the sword would become dislodged and he would fall to the ground. That is exactly what happened and me and my brother had to fight our way through an encirclement of over a thousand wolves and battle a thousand wolf King!
Since then, I have been going solo with Chun Jack and haven't recruited a single person. Gu masters are really arrogant. Like, they think my brother is strong because I have him the strength of 2 boars.
Gu masters think only Gu worms can make a person strong and putting in effort to train your body is too time consuming and pointless.
The benefit of training your body in a natural way is huge. The muscles become tougher and more refined. A human's foundation is their body. My brother has a sturdy foundation and can even summon a boar beast phantom at will.
The moment I get him the strength-a-ten-boar beast bundle Gu, his strength will soar so high even I might get overshadowed. Even I am tempted to do that, but I am holding back.
A boar's strength Gu gives about 1/2 of a human's strength. So I will basically have the strength of 6 human's and 10 boars, aka 10 humans. Quite the force to be reckoned with!
I really hope my Physique Nourishing Gu can keep up with this progression, or else my body's strength will stagnate too much. I need to do more training and make sure my strength grows.
The body, health, physique and etc nourishing Gus have 1 effect, nourishing a Human's body Number one: the nourishing effect, which can be boosted by primeval essence. This allows me to break through my body's natural cap of 4 human strength and reach 6, with a potential for 10.
Chun Jack's strength is also capped at 4 and he needs to let his body grow in order to become stronger. Either that or use a fuckton of beast strength Gu worms.
The only way to lift the limit and let my body progress is upgrading my vital Gu to the rank 4 version of physique nourishing Gu.
The problem is refining my vital Gu to rank 4 will cost me about 6k Gu points. The prices skyrocket after rank 3 and boy do I hate that!
At least Jia Fu can help. He has just comes into Gu Yue clan city and he brought that huge tree with him. It is full of Gu worms worth a lot of money and I will be buying most of them!
The first day auctions ended with me buying out the place for prices just above the others. I even bought the clensing Gu Chi Cheng really needs. I also went gambling and the days passed as I gained Gu points. Fang Yuan only got the red steel relic Gu and I took everything else!
I bought out the house and spent a total of 200K primeval stones on everything! The final result? I got a red boar strength Gu and a black boar strength Gu for my collection. I also kept the second liquor worm and the healing Gu nine vitality grass, which is rank 2.
Fang Yuan got what he wanted and so did I! Jia Fu even called for me and asked me to slow down on my shopping, but I said I was going to donate them to the clan and he let the matter go after giving me his token. Fang Yuan also got the token, so he can't come crying to me about it!
The total amount of money I made from all the gambling and shopping is 3638 Gu points! And with that, the Fate Flipped Upside Down Gu has been purchased and I even bought the beast bundle along with 10 different rank 2 boar strength Gu worms and every other Gu I will need.
Here is the result of my shopping spree. 1) I will turn into a rank 1 initial stage cultivator with 100% talent, probably 2) my brother will get his strength-a-ten-boar beast bundle Gu, which is now a rank 3 version 3) overall strength of the party has gone up massively! 4) Guts will evolve into a living weapon 5) my shop's merchandise has now doubled 6) I have 3.2k Gu points left to buy shit with!
The only thing I am waiting for is for the Gu Yue clan to start the war and request my "donation", So I can evolve my rank 3 Physique Nourishing Gu into a rank 4 perpetual motion Gu! Things are turning up my way and soon I will reach the pinnacle of my growth stage!
I think I have gotten over my addiction (mostly). Fucking hell is that game addicting. The difficult fights, the interactions, the desperation of my colonists as they have to kill and each other to survive, the constant shadow killing of my allies for the most basic resources, the slavery aspect... I recommend you play it. It's on steam and it is quite amazing and addicting.
Just a side note, I am nit dropping this. I love RI and writing this, but I have a heavy gaming addiction.
