238 Urgent News
"His wife is the same as him. She also has this tsundere act all the time." Anna said. "Just imagine this. If he said something like this, \'It\'s not like I married you because I want to be with you the whole life, you know.\' And the other one said, \'It\'s not like I accept your proposal because I love you, I just feel both of us is a match.\'
That idiotic Tsun-Tsun couple. They acted like that the whole time. You might find it funny at first, but after some time, you will find it very annoying." Anna said. They had met on numerous occasions since they had been loyal to Alex and followed him from time to time in the previous life. The previous Alex also found it annoying, but he didn\'t say anything about it and just let it go.
Sadly, The current Alex had yet to see the real terror of the tsun-tsun couple. Hearing Anna\'s complain Fabio said, "Anna, you are very compatible with Young Master."
Anna was shocked when she heard that. She suddenly blushed red. Sadly, she was annoyed once again after she listened to the next word.
"It\'s not like I said it because you are very compatible, alright. I just said-"
Before he finished his sentences. Anna immediately stopped him, "Alright. I don\'t need to hear the rest."
Alex made a weird smile. Well, he just considered Fabio as a special case for the time being. "Alright, let us finish these gacha balls first. Okay?"
Alex pointed at the three gacha balls in the box. Alex believed in beginner luck because of Sherry and Anna. After all, both of them managed to draw UR items. Anna drew a Sword Mastery while Sherry drew a Spear Mastery for him. He was hoping to see another three UR items for these three draws.
"Leoz, Nelson, and Fabio will open each of them." Alex handed them the balls one by one. Of course, he was careful to avoid touching the \'G\' on the ball. He didn\'t want to open it himself.
They opened it at the same time, and the item that they got, starting from Leoz was,
[Attribute Orb (SR)
Use: Enhance a tool with a random element.]
[Poisonous Needle (SR)
Use: Contain a poison that can kill a 5-Star or below Martial Lord instantly (One time use)]
[Full Body Armor – Master Rank Armor (R)]
Alex was dumbfounded when he saw that. He didn\'t get another UR. When he saw Leoz only got an SR, he didn\'t have any exaggerating reaction. After all, the chance to get a UR item was small. Even though he expected something from the beginner luck, he was only expecting one of them got that somehow.
When he saw Nelson got a poison needle, he twitched his eyebrows. But he managed to refrain himself. At least, it was an SR item. A needle like that might be useful for assassination, so he would give it to him after this.
Unfortunately, when he saw what Fabio had gotten. He started doubting it once again whether the beginner\'s luck was real or not. Sherry and Anna could get it both for the first time. Why did they can\'t?
Alex thought about it, and suddenly a weird idea came to his mind. Sherry and Anna were female, while Leoz and the rest were males. Alex narrowed his eyes and said, "You men are suck."
When Leoz and the other heard about it, they were dumbfounded. Anna suddenly laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha! Young Master is the best. That\'s right, tell them!"
"Wuu Wuu." Sherry also nodded while giggling.
They rolled their eyes away. They wanted to rebuke but rather not do it, in case they would want to be laughed at again.
"Ahem, alright. Let\'s stop it here." Alex said. "What are we going to do after this? We still have Fabio and Nelson who are new here. They are still level 1."
"Young Master, rather than thinking about us, what about you? Where will you go after this? We don\'t know whether the people are still searching for you or not. But, just so you know, I don\'t ask you because I am worried about you, alright." Fabio said along with that annoying line.
Alex pondered for a moment. He remembered that he got an SR EXP card.
[EXP Card (SR) +1,000,000]
Alex opened his eyes wide. The Rare EXP card gave you a hundred thousand. But, this one million EXP. It might be able to boost Leoz to Martial Lord. But, he should consider other things, especially Nelson. After all, information might play a crucial part in this unstable period.
Alex needed to choose whether to use this EXP card to Leoz so he could reach Martial Lord or used it on Nelson and boosted him to Martial Grandmaster.
"Young Master, I feel you should give it to Nelson. My job is grinding after all. But Nelson\'s job is important to us." Leoz suddenly said to him.
Alex was surprised to hear that. Fabio also added. "Yes, Young Master. You should give it to Nelson. It is not like my ability below him, just so you know."
Alex\'s eyebrows started to twitch after hearing that. Alex sighed. He took out the EXP card and used it on Nelson.
[Nelson (Dark)
Level: 23/80 (3-Star Martial Grandmaster)
Exp: 45000/140000
HP: 6000
ATK: 600
DEF: 310]
With that EXP card alone, Nelson managed to become a Martial Grandmaster. It was such an enviable thing, especially for Cultivators.
As soon as he leveled up, Nelson immediately said. "Then, I shall immediately go to work. I will try to see the situation out there. I will try to see which way Young Master can take to go back."
Alex looked at him, dumbfounded. But, he still nodded his head. "Sure, I will leave it to you. But can you leave?"
"Easy peasy." Nelson nodded with confidence. Alex was worrying since Alex entered here with the Spatial Door. But, Nelson also had his confidence as a spy. After assuring Alex, he immediately went toward the exit.
"Young Master, what about those people?" Leoz suddenly asked.
Alex knew what he was talking about. He referred to those people from the Quinto Family. Alex pondered for a moment. He took out Nelson\'s card. "Nelson, try to check for the people that attacked me too."
"Yes."
Alex took out another two cards from him. It was the rare exp cards. Alex was thinking about using it on Fabio. After that, he can also join Leoz to grind EXP. Anna will keep her job as his secretary. With those people in the right job, Alex can cultivate with ease. He would still have information, and his influences will be strong without anyone knowing it.
When Fabio could join Leoz in grinding EXP, Alex wanted to add the SR Spirits to his \'Spirit Nest\'. He had \'Wright\' and \'Salijan\', which he had gotten just now. If they were able to help Leoz and Fabio in grinding, Alex might be able to put the Rare rank Spirits inside the \'Spirit Nest\'. He didn\'t know whether he could get the Uncommon and Common Spirits with this system.
He didn\'t bother about it for the time being. After all, this plan needed the SR spirits to succeed first before he could continue. Alex used two rare EXP cards on Fabio. With two hundred thousand EXPs, Fabio\'s level became,
[Fabio Donatelli (Fire)
Level: 16/80 (6-Star Martial Master)
Exp: 5000/60000
HP: 3000
ATK: 150
DEF: 90]
Alex was pretty satisfied with the result. Leoz started his grinding below this level. Since Anna said, Fabio\'s skill was comparable to Leoz. Then, Alex was sure that Fabio could grind level with this level. Leoz\'s grinding would also help him since the EXP would be shared.
After a few hours, Nelson reported to Alex.
"Young Master. The situation is pretty bad. There are still a few Martial Lords standing by around the place. Judging from the situation and their movement. I can lead you outside of this. I also have investigated the matter about the people that attacked you.
They are from the Quinto Family, one of the big families inside Shades Town. All of the people that attacked you have been killed along with the rest of their family. They were killed by a single person. He was the old man that attacked you back then. The people seemed to mistook him to be a Martial Lord.
Your identity is safe for the time being. But, I\'m sure that the Zhou Kingdom will try something in the dark. I will investigate it thoroughly, so please rest assured. I will go back now and lead you outside this situation."
"Alright. Thank you." Alex said. Then he turned to Fabio. "You will go with Leoz and search for a place where you can grind EXP for others.
Fabio nodded. Luckily he didn\'t say anything, lest he would say something like, \'It is not like I bla bla bla…"
"Leoz, I will leave him to you. Well, he is still a 6-Star Martial Master… or maybe he can practice at the place where you grind your level previously?" Alex asked.
Leoz pondered for a moment. He nodded, "Sure. Let\'s do it that way."
He nodded. Then he turned his head to Anna. "Anna, where is the report book?"
"Ah!" Anna was taken aback to hear she was called so suddenly. Anna immediately took it out and gave it to him. She didn\'t forget to advise him, "Young Master. I think you don\'t need this book since it is pretty horrible. We can just wait for Nelson. This information will only take him a week in there, and he might be more detailed than this."
Hearing Anna\'s words, Alex shrugged his shoulder. "Then, we can give this book to Nelson. He can use this book as his base information and have him searched for a detailed one."
Anna nodded, "Yes. We should do that."
Not long after, Nelson came back. "Young Master, shall we go?"
Alex nodded. He recalled Anna, Leoz, and Fabio back to the card. Sherry also came back to his body. Since the Blazing Pond was no more. Alex destroyed the entrance. Even if this case was found by someone, there was nothing inside. He had checked it with his Spirit Eyes, so it must be the case.
Nelson led him in the opposite direction of Shades Town since that town was heavily guarded. They sometimes made weird turns. At first, he was confused by it. But, after checking with his Spirit Eyes, he could see cultivators around them. Alex was astonished by Nelson\'s ability. It seemed to have him at an early stage would be an advantage for him.
They finally reached a town called Onsul Town. Alex and Nelson spent almost a day reaching this town. After all, they needed to pass without alerting anyone. They passed two cities before this, which they went around them and passed without getting inside.
Nelson didn\'t immediately make his way toward the Zhou Kingdom. Instead, he went around this town to ensure they were safe. Alex was thinking about using his Spatial Door. But, Nelson advised him not to. Alex\'s Spatial Door surely can go through them. But, because there were numerous Martial Lord. There might be some spatial distortion with that amount of energy around him.
Alex just barely learnt the basics of Spatial Door. He should master it first before recklessly using it. Alex also understood his meaning. Even he managed to open the Spatial Door. The tunnel or the world itself might be unstable because his mastery of space was not enough to keep it stable. It was a part of mastery for the Spatial Door technique.
After reaching Onsul Town. Alex was wondering if he should put his mask on. Alex would wait for Nelson\'s investigation first. If it was a bit dangerous, he would put on his mask. If not, he wouldn\'t use it.
…
Unknown to them, there was a bit of a troublesome situation.
Inside the City Lord\'s mansion.
The door of the city lord suddenly opened by one of his soldiers. The city lord obviously was annoyed to see suddenly he was interrupted when he worked.
"City Lord. Urgent News. We just got information, there is a monster outbreak. They are currently moving toward us and will reach here in five hours. We believe their number is close to ten thousand."
"What!" The City Lord was taken aback. He suddenly stood up, "Sound the alarm immediately."
The City Lord thought whether to evacuate or fight in this city. Ten thousand monsters… He was a 2-Star Martial Lord, and he needed to make sure whether there would be any Lord stage monsters. If there were not any Lord stage monsters, they should fight. But, this also might come with many casualties. Ten thousand was not a small number.
Suddenly his eyes flashed. He thought about using the townsfolk to repel the monster. If he just presented on the city wall while leading those people. His family can just fake his fight to reduce his family casualty. When the other families got many casualties, his family would still be fine, and he can suppress those families\' businesses and take over their wealth slowly.
