Villain Cultivator

Chapter 274: A Monster Family – The Birth of Smart Miaomiao?

Miaomiao spent hours, testing the combination and the best possible fusion results. He even made a list of desired skills and the recipe.

After the tedious preparation, he started gambling, mixing 10 system skills to create a unique skill, hoping to get the rarest skill on the list.

Unfortunately, the RNGesus hated him.

Ding

[You have created a new skill "Papercut Swordsmanship".]

The "Papercut Swordsmanship" chance was 40% which was the highest. Meanwhile, Miaomiao's desired skill, Morphing Earth Swordsmanship, only had a 1.5 percentage chance.

Miaomiao lost the first gamble.

"Oh, well. It happened a lot when I played gacha games…"

He tried again with another batch of skills.

Ding

[You have created a new skill "Pollution Breathing Technique".]

The ultra-rare skill was Milky Way Breathing Technique, but Miaomiao got a weird skill again.

Still, he shrugged it off and continued gambling.

Ding

[You have created a new skill "Urinating Strike".]

Ding

[You have created a new skill "Irritating Eyelash Brushing Sword".]

"WHAT.THE.FUCK!?"

…

Skill Name: Papercut Swordsmanship

Skill Description: This swordsmanship allows you to wield papers as a sword. Any paper in your hands can become the deadliest weapon to … papercut someone.

Qi Consumption: One strand of Life Qi per second.

Activation Requirement: Circulate your Life Qi into any paper. It will be hard and sharp enough to cut a cultivator, probably.

…

Skill Name: Pollution Breathing Technique

Skill Description: You can inhale air pollution, such as Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, dust, pollen, gas, or hazardous air, and exhale out Oxygen. In another word, if you master this technique, you can become a tree!

Qi Consumption: One strand of Life Qi per second. Your health can deteriorate if you inhale too much pollution.

Activation Requirement: Be in a polluted area and you can use your lungs to filter the area for humanity.

…

Skill Name: Urinating Strike

Skill Description: By attacking your foes with a piss-soaked weapon, you can inflict your foes with an Inconvenience Status Effect. Infected targets will continuously and uncontrollably urinate for 2 to 5 minutes. If the infected targets run out of their urine, they will pee blood instead until the effect wears off.

Qi Consumption: 50 liters of Life Essence.

Activation Requirement: You must soak your weapon with your Qi-empowered urine. The skill activates automatically if the condition is met.

…

Skill Name: Irritating Eyelash Brushing Sword

Skill Description: Inflict your opponent with a status effect "Irritating Eyelash". Your opponent's eyelash will grow until it becomes longer than their hair!

Qi Consumption: One drop of Life Essence per activation.

Activation Requirement: Brush your opponent's eyelash with your sword while the skill is activated. Remember, you're supposed to brush your opponent's eyelashes, not cutting them.

…

Mysteriously, all common fusion skills sounded unusually wacky and stupid. The skill description was even more idiotic and impractical.

In short, they were useless.

Miaomiao's face distorted for a moment, imagining himself using the Urinating Strike with Killer Queen.

Then, he laughed. All skills were so stupid that he couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, shit. I have to try!"

Miaomiao soaked his wooden sword with his pee and summoned a 3rd-stage clone to test the skill.

The clone blankly stared at Miaomiao and his wet wooden sword. He sniffed and twitched his nose in disgust.

"Hey, now. Be my guinea pig."

Miaomiao charged at the clone and lightly bonked him once. The wooden sword left a small cut on the clone's head.

The clone sensed the overwhelming Qi of Miaomiao. He leaped backward, keeping the distance.

Suddenly, the clone paused. He started wetting his pants.

As if the clone felt humiliated, he glared at Miaomiao in anger. 30 seconds later, the flushed face of the clone turned purple as he felt something amiss.

The clone's pants reddened. Blood came out of instead of yellow liquid.

The healthy clone slowly shrunk as his bodily fluid had been leaking from his body. Two minutes later, it became a dried mummy and died.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

Miaomiao stared at his piss-soaked wooden sword with a pokerface. Then, he gazed at the girls, who had been observing him with a weird look.

Thinking that the girls envied him, Miaomiao pointed at his wet sword, "Anyone wanna learn this skill?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"What a pity. This godly skill is useful. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Everyone shook their heads again. Even Ju Shoufen walked away from him in disgust.

"After you wake up, wash your hands and take a bath twice. You stink."

"…"

Since everyone shunned Miaomiao, he continued fusing his skills alone, sulking by himself. His shadow clones replaced him for the day.

Still, Miaomiao learned something by absorbing his shadow clones' memory. This Naruto Clone Jutsu was too useful!

…

Day 7, one day before Mao Xueyan arrived.

Everybody minded their daily routine in the space as usual. However, a new change occurred in the space.

Ding

[Plane Core Fragment has been constructed.]

[New construction options have been unlocked!]

RUMBLE

The space trembled while the upgrade had been applied. The girls stopped training and looked at Miaomiao.

"What's happening?"

Miaomiao ignored the girls and operated his system menu by himself. He checked the new constructions if he could build something useful.

Unfortunately, the only thing he could build was something obnoxious.

…

Pylon Tower

In order to supply this world with more Qi and not rely on your energy, YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLON!

This PYLON TOWER is different from the real world's pylon tower since its exclusive to the Isolation Training Space. Not only it expands your dantian capacity, but it can also increase your daily Qi generation rate. Everything that this tower produces belongs to you, and only you!

Construction Cost: 500 Billion Liters of Life Essence

Effects:

Increase the capacity of your dantian by 50 Billion liters.

Increase your [Daily Energy Regeneration Rate] by 10 million liters.

Unlock more buildings.

?????

?????

…

[Basic Information]

Name: Mao Miaomiao (Cao Mao)

Cultivation Rank: Late 4th Stage (Essence Gathering Realm)

[Energy Pool]

Current Life Essence: 3 Billion Liters

Dantian Capacity: 30.1 Billion Liters

[Daily Energy Regeneration Rate]

Life Essence: 20.1M + 10.05M Liters

[Element Crystal Level]

Wood (Primary): 7/10

Dragon Fire (Primary): 4/10

Lightning (Secondary): 3/3 (MAX)

…

Something was terribly wrong here.

The construction cost was 500 billion liters of Life Essence. Meanwhile, Miaomiao's max dantian capacity was only 30 billion liters.

This pylon was impossible to build!

This was a scam!

'System, explain, please. Why is the Life Essence requirement so high? How am I going to upgrade it when my dantian capacity is only 30B, but the pylon needs 500B!?'

Ding

[You have a storage bank crystal. Please check the floating crystal in the sky for more detail.]

'Huh?'

Miaomiao was confused for a moment. Then, he remembered something about a weird crystal in the sky that the system had left behind.

He flapped his feather wings and flew toward the crystal.

The crystal was currently pitch black. It was so dark that no light reflected from it.

For a moment there, Miaomiao thought that it was a black hole. Still, he touched it anyway to check its detail.

…

Quarantine Crystal

This crystal contains your sponsor's anti-virus program and a quarantine system. It will continuously absorb any foreign being's energy in this space and store all it here for your future use.

Also, whenever your dantian capacity is full, this quarantine crystal will absorb half of your energy to maintain the balance. You can take the energy back at any time.

Current Stored Energy

- 750 Billion Liters of Life Essence

- 950 Billion Liters of Demonic Essence

- 480 Billion Liters of Dragon Fire Essence

- ?????

- ?????

…

There was a lot of energy in there. The amount was staggering that it shocked Miaomiao.

'Since when did it store so much energy!? And what the hell!? Dragon Fire Essence!? Not Qi!?'

A thousand strand of Life Qi equaled to one drop of Life Essence. One liter of Life Essence could be converted to a strand of elemental Qi.

What was the conversion rate of Element Qi and Element Essence?

How much was one liter of Element Essence?

How big was this Quarantine Crystal's space!?

These questions plagued Miaomiao's mind. He was so astonished at the number that his brain stopped working.

Ding

[Xu Chu had absorbed Xie Tian and Kzarka's Dragon Fire Essence and Demonic Essence, but some of the energy hasn't been completely digested yet. The Quarantine Crystal stole her power and stored them here.]

That was understandable. No wonder why Xie Tian could use a fire domain as his energy was immense.

Still, Miaomiao stared at the two lines of [?????].

'What are the two lines of question marks?'

[These two forms of energy are inaccessible at your current strength. Please become an immortal before you can acquire these forms of energy.]

Mystery, mysterious misery, Miaomiao was tired of all the unexplained info. He needed information and a solid practical goal for his future, not a detective game from the system.

'… Okay. Then, can I use the stored energy to build the space's buildings?'

Miaomiao got to the point. He needed to finish the initial task at hand. Since he needed a pylon tower to upgrade the space to level 8, it wouldn't hurt building it now.

[Yes.]

'Alright! Now, we're talking!'

Miaomiao decided to build the pylon tower right away.

Ding

[500 billion liters of Life Essence has been deducted from the Quarantine Crystal.]

[Building…]

[The Pylon Tower will be completed in 30 days in the real world time.]

[You can pay 5 trillion liters of Life Essence to accelerate the progress. Will you accelerate the building?]

Hearing about the pay2win feature, Miaomiao had goosebumps. It reminded him of a certain dark business scheme in the modern gaming world.

"Fuck no. I doubt I have enough essence."

[You can loan the system. The interest rate is 10% per day.]

"HELL FUCKING NO!! THAT'S 3,650% INTEREST RATE PER YEAR!! ARE YOU A LOAN SHARK!?"

[Understood. The system shall not pester you about the loan.]

[Your sponsor clicks his tongue and snaps his fingers in disappointment.]

"…"

Miaomiao would never bite an obvious bait. He vowed to himself that he wouldn't loan or do anything that might turn him into a debt slave.

After Miaomiao concluded his business, he continued fusing more skills.

The task was tedious since he had over 6,400 skills to fuse. Moreover, some of them hadn't been appraised or inspected yet.

It took him the entire night to finish his little gambling. However, his hard work paid off.

After 400 attempts, he got rid of all basic system skills in his hands, including some of the prior skills that he hardly used, such as Energy Drain and Wind Slash.

Then, he got something nice after he fused passive skills together.

…

Imperial Martial Brain Meridian

Imperial Martial Brain Meridian is a unique meridian in your brain. This passive skill automatically creates an additional meridian in your brain, acting as a micro-computer to help you processing martial art data. With this meridian, all basic martial skills that you come across can be easily learned as if you are trying to learn how to peel a banana with your anus. Also, you can memorize any martial technical book by just skimming through the text.

Skill Effects: Improve your natural IQ when you try to learn martial arts.

Note: You don't actually have a microchip or a computer in your brain. You just get smarter with this passive skill.

…

"I guess my luck isn't bad after all."

Miaomiao closed his eyes and tried to visualize the past sword training. A second later, he realized the things he lacked.

He had been approaching the so-called [One-with-the-Sword] the wrong way. Instead, he should circulate his Qi and think of his weapon as a single-edged saber.

Miaomiao forgot that katana was similar to sabers. On the other hand, swords in this world were double-edged swords.

Being inspired, Miaomiao stood up and gazed at the vampire girls, who were training using their lightsabers. He closed his eyes again and tried to picture his version of the lightsaber.

A weird sci-fi sound was audible. Miaomiao could sense the extreme heat in his right hand, which he had visualized a beam saber.

Instead of having a Jedi-like lightsaber, it was a flame saber, which was the shadow of Xie Tian's personal weapon.

Moreover, strange orange fire from the saber slowly expanded. By the time Miaomiao had realized it, everything in the radius of 2 meters around him was enveloped in flame. Yet, it didn't harm him.

Miaomiao recognized this flame. It was the fire domain of Xie Tian, but it was smaller!

He widened his eyes in shock. But as Miaomiao was about to ask the system about what had happened, he realized what he did.

Miaomiao grinned.

'I guess my former brain meridian was so bad that I can't think about anything but my dick. I feel smarter now.'

Ding

[Your sponsor congratulates you, "Congratulations. You now have a proper brain worthy to be called a human".]

"So was I a baboon to you!?"

Miaomiao gave the system a middle finger. Then, he continued his experiment.

He had no idea. Ju Shoufen and the girls had been staring at him as if they had seen a monster.

"Isn't that power... that clone's domain!?"
