19: Chapter 19 Status Feedback

[Obtained Skill Point * 1]

[Currently in simulation state, automatically using it]

[Drawing skill...]

[Obtained skill: 'Status Feedback']

[As expected, after killing the opponent, you obtained a new skill point.]

[Looking closely, apart from the skill point, he didn't contribute any other good items like Wei An did.]

[Feeling somewhat regretful, you glance around at the onlookers surrounding the inn, grab Zhou Zhuan's corpse, and leave Qingyun City.]

[The primary goal of this simulation was Zhou Zhuan and Wei An. As long as you get two skill points, it definitely won't be a loss!]

[After leaving Qingyun City and seeing no one around, you finally put Zhou Zhuan's corpse into your storage space.]

["A pity. I still didn't get the Zhou Yous Void Control Art this time."]

["And Zhou Zhuan's Golden Finger."]

[You feel your actions were too hasty, but these are minor issues; you'll get them next time for sure.]

[Afterward, while traveling east, you check your new skill.]

['Status Feedback: From now on, any changes your body undergoes will receive feedback.']

['Side Effect: From now on, any being that dies by your hand will turn into a loot box.']

[Huh?]

[Before you could figure it out, voices began ringing in your ears.]

['Currently traveling']

['True Qi is being consumed; current remaining: 99.96%']

["..."]

[Is this what Status Feedback is?]

[It's actually quite something.]

[All skills are like this; they only take effect along with their side effects once you've seen them yourself.]

["It seems I can't just kill people randomly anymore."]

[Reading the side effect again, you are somewhat speechless.]

[Turning into loot boxes??]

[If word of this gets out, it would expose the fact that you are a Transmigrator in a heartbeat.]

[It would definitely attract the attention of certain people.]

[On the road, you see a palm-sized little snake. With a casual flick of your finger, Innate Sword Qi flies out and shreds it.]

['Attacking']

['Target killed; target health is 0']

['...']

[While you were acting, the Status Feedback wouldn't stop talking.]

[You ignore it for the moment, focusing all your attention on the box on the ground.]

[The little snake turned into this after dying.]

[The body you shredded instantly transformed into this thing.]

[You pick it up to take a look.]

[It's a cubic box, very similar to the loot boxes in PUBG, just without the green smoke rising from it.]

[You weigh it in your hand; it's about two or three pounds, very, very light.]

[You study it for a while.]

[After opening it, you find it's completely empty.]

[Great, pure trash.]

[You put the box away, tossing it casually into your storage space.]

[This thing can't be seen by others; there's a risk of exposing yourself.]

["This side effect is just too massive."]

[You continue your journey, brow furrowed.]

[In your view, this side effect is arguably the worst one yet, far more serious than poisonous skin or white hair.]

[This makes you afraid to kill anyone in the future.]

[On the road, you try it a few more times.]

[The result is always the same.]

[No matter the animal, as long as you kill it, it turns into a box the moment it dies. You don't even get a chance to loot the corpse.]

[Even if you use Innate Sword Qi to crush an ant into thin air, it still turns into a tiny box.]

["Tsk tsk tsk, I won't lack firewood to burn in the future."]

[If you randomly destroy an ant nest, the resulting boxes could cover the ground everywhere.]

[Thinking of this, your mind stirs, and you think of many offensive methods that could complement this.]

[Besides testing 'Status Feedback' and its side effect, you also take out the Three Yin Worm.]

[However, you don't use it immediately.]

[After all, the most important thing is still killing Gu Xuan!]

[To find him as quickly as possible, you speed up, constantly depleting your Innate Sword Qi.]

[Status Feedback tells you every second that your True Qi is dropping, your stamina is dropping, and so on.]

[You are forced to modify it; otherwise, the constant noise would truly drive you insane.]

[Under your settings, it will only give voice alerts for important events.]

[Other minor matters mostly appear as text prompts.]

[The distance from Qingyun City to Hanbing City is great, but since you've broken through to the Fifth Level of Innate Realm and have the two-and-a-half-star Ultimate Sword, your speed is decent.]

[Two months later, you cross a province and successfully arrive at your destination.]

[Huainan Province, Badao Prefecture, Yongle County, Hanbing City.]

[After entering the city, you gather information at an inn.]

["The Gu Family is the number one Family in Hanbing City, controlling ninety percent of the city's resources and industries."]

[They are truly like local emperors.]

[In these times, the emperor is fatuous, the court is embroiled in internal strife, and local regions are basically left ungoverned; whoever is strongest is the boss.]

[In the Gu Family, the strongest person is a Martial Artist at the first level of the Innate Realm.]

[Their strength is decent.]

[Your goal is only the servant Gu Xuan. If nothing unexpected happens, you won't clash with them.]

[You don't act immediately.]

[Instead, you take out a large amount of gold and silver to find some of the Gu Family's subsidiary forces in Hanbing City, using them to search for Gu Xuan.]

[Night, inside the inn.]

[A fat man in the True Qi Realm weighs the gold you gave him and laughs loudly: "Don't worry, brother. He's just a Gu Family servant; I've got this in the bag."]

[You nod calmly: "Once it's done, there will be another heavy reward."]

[The fat man leaves happily with his subordinates.]

[You sit cross-legged on the floor, quietly cultivating.]

[Lines of text float out from your body.]

['Currently cultivating "Innate Sword Qi"']

['True Qi is circulating through the Great Orbit']

['Your total True Qi volume and density are increasing']

['Your physical strength is improving simultaneously']

[Four hours later, deep into the night.]

[Suddenly, you open your eyes.]

[Your gaze turns toward the window.]

[You sigh softly: "Why are the local Gangs so impolite?"]

["Taking the money but not doing the job?"]

[Not only that, they even want to make a move on you.]

[Hearing the stealthy footsteps outside, you also smell a strange fragrance; it seems they've even released poison.]

[Reaching out, you grab a handful of Locust Stones and toss them casually. The stones pierce through the window, knocking the people outside to the ground one by one.]

[-13]

[-15]

[-70]

[-6]

[To be safe, you didn't kill anyone.]

[Getting up and walking to the window, you wave your long sleeves. Innate Sword Qi ripples out, blowing away the nearby poison mist.]

[On the road outside the inn lie a dozen or so Martial Artists, mostly in the Qi and Blood Realm, currently wailing in pain.]

[Although you didn't kill them, their injuries are not light.]

[They can forget about living a normal life for the rest of their days.]

[You glance to both sides, leap across dozens of meters, and crash into another inn.]

[With True Qi coating your hands, the doors and windows shatter as you send the fat man before you flying with a single punch.]

[-93]

[The fat man slams violently into the wall behind him, coughing up blood, his eyes filled with terror.]
