24: Chapter 24 Hui Shi

Ning Ruogong looked at the group of people approaching him, their skin dark, with almost no clothes on their bodies, and wondered, "Natives?" The group consisted entirely of men and women, each carrying a spear.

These people all had something on their backs, but Ning Ruogong couldn't see it from his position. "Should I use the Parasite skill on one of these humans?" He began to hesitate.

The thought of humans dying like those birds and wolves made him want to vomit.

"No, I should jump into their other objects. But what? They're barely wearing any clothes, and the system said weapons aren't suitable, so I can't switch into their halberds either."

As the people got closer, he started to see them more clearly. "Wow," he was shocked when he saw the very muscular bodies of both the men and women.

"Sod dune gieny hsue," said a bearded, disheveled man. He looked at these men and their messy hair and couldn't help but wonder, "Do they not groom their facial hair?"

He looked at the women and found their hair smooth and silky, and all of it was well-tied. "Yeah, it's just that the men are too lazy," he thought.

The man who had spoken earlier walked up to him, crouched down, and looked at the fish.

He seemed to be the largest person among everyone present, and also appeared to be the leader. So, as soon as he crouched beside the fish, the others formed a circle around him.

"'Nsoe guwn hwle dhoen sdbe." He began to say something in a language Ning Ruogong didn't understand.

"Uh... system, can you translate what they're saying?" he asked.

"Please purchase the Language skill from the shop."

"Oh, right. I can buy it. Tell me what I can buy." he asked.

"The following are the Language skills you can purchase:"

"Basic Klavis Language: 5,000 Energy"

"Beginner Klavis Language: 25,000 Energy"

"Intermediate Klavis Language: 250,000 Energy"

"Advanced Klavis Language: 2,500,000 Energy"

"Omniscient Klavis Language: 25,000,000 Energy"

"Alternatively, you can also purchase:"

"Basic All Languages: 880,000,000 Energy"

"Beginner All Languages: 8,800,000,000 Energy"

"Intermediate All Languages: 88,000,000,000 Energy"

"Advanced All Languages: 880,000,000,000 Energy"

"Omniscient All Languages: 8,800,000,000,000 Energy"

"What the hell, why is it so expensive?" he asked in surprise. He had never seen such high numbers before.

"All Languages include all languages used in every world in every universe."

"Since this is a basic communication need, the system provides languages at a very cheap price."

"So cheap?" What the system had just said shocked him. "Show me my status, how much energy do I have?" he commanded.

"[Status

]"

"Uh... I'll need energy to transfer later, and I don't know how much I'll need. So it's best to just buy the cheap one for now. Give me Beginner Klavis Language," Ning Ruogong said, commanding the system.

"Confirmed."

"But how did the fish swim so far from the sea?" one of the women asked.

"Maybe God sent it here. Maybe we are blessed by Inikaka," a man said.

"Stop talking," the leader said, "Hyesi, take this fish back to the village. We'll be back once we finish our work here." the leader said.

A boy, about twelve years old, emerged from behind the group of men and women. He was also shirtless like all the men, with only a small piece of cloth wrapped around his waist, covering his private parts.

"What? They're going to make this boy carry such a big fish home?"

"Are they crazy?" Ning Ruogong was a little surprised to hear the leader command this boy to carry this fish, which was over two meters long, back home. He estimated the fish weighed one hundred and fifty kilograms.

However, the boy just nodded and said, "Okay, Chief." He walked over to the fish and took out his spear. With one thrust, he pierced the fish.

Then he did something that greatly astonished Ning Ruogong. The boy easily lifted the fish with his spear and carried it on his back. "What? What? How is this boy so strong? Is he also a cultivator? Does he also use qi?" He started asking questions he knew he would never get answers to.

But this time, the system surprised him; it actually answered.

"They are cultivators. But they do not use qi."

"Huh? Cultivators don't use qi? What does that mean? Don't all cultivators use qi?" he asked.

"These are Body Cultivators."

"They train their bodies to be as strong as, or even stronger than, those who use qi."

"Oh, can they also fly, breathe fire, and so on?" Ning Ruogong asked.

"No, they only cultivate their bodies, so they do not have any qi-related abilities."

"Hmm... So how do they do it? How do they cultivate their bodies?" He tried to ask this question.

"Please purchase more cultivation information from the system."

"Ah, there it is." he thought. The boy named Hyesi began to walk back the way he came. Ning Ruogong was very curious and wanted to see where this group of cultivators, who looked like natives, lived.

The boy walked out of the beach and into a forest that seemed to be full of coconut and palm trees. A few minutes later, the forest finally opened up, and Ning Ruogong saw a simple yet beautiful village, mainly made of stone.

In the center of the village, there were children playing, men training, women sunbathing, and so on. As soon as Hyesi entered the village, a group of children who were running around in the middle suddenly saw him and ran towards him.

When they reached him, one of the little girls started asking him:

"Brother Hyesi, Brother Hyesi, did you catch that fish?"
