Ultimate Scheming System

Swoosh!

Xu Que rode on a bolt of lightning as he darted through the clouds. He then quickly landed at the foot of a barren mountain near the battlefield. Instead of returning to Jiang Hongyan right away, he decided to take a temporary break and organize his spoils of war. The two wars he had been through today had both been extremely profitable.

He had obtained a staggering total of 1 million Acting Tough points!

There had also been a massive leap in his cultivation stage. He had stepped entirely into the Form Synthesis Stage, and the quality of the Tao Connotation of his body had evolved. Should he execute the King of Tough-Acting Fist in the future, the prowess of the fist would be much stronger than before. He could squish a Crossing Calamity Stage cultivator easily and even threaten a Great Vehicle Stage powerhouse!

Of course, the most important thing was that because this was the first time he had killed an authentic powerhouse at the Crossing Calamity Stage, he had received a Big Mystery Bag as a reward. On top of that, he had also gotten a Big Gift Bag of Heavenly Tribulations for successfully surviving the tribulations. Xu Que was pumped to find out exactly what those bags contained!

This time, he did not receive the Big Growth Gift Bag that he always obtained after climbing a cultivation stage. The System explained that they would no longer provide a Big Growth Gift Bag after he had cleared the Void Training Stage.

“It’s just a Big Growth Gift Bag. If they don’t provide it, so be it! I don’t need it anyway!” Xu Que said in disdain. He put it out of his mind. After all, the items in the Big Growth Gift Bag were often of little practical use, a far cry from what he had gotten in other gift bags. He was most excited for the Big Gift Bag of Heavenly Tribulations and the Big Mystery Bag.

If he could get a few signal boosters from these two gift bags, then he might not need Buttface to contact Earth from now on. He could contact Earth himself anytime, anywhere! However, the prerequisite for that was that Lao Cai would recharge his call credits on his number that was already on a negative balance.

The last time he had used his cell phone to communicate with Earth, he had sent over an entire movie. He did not dare think about the data fee incurred since he had used roaming services with sky-high charges. It would have cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars!

With that said, though, Xu Que reckoned that the movie must have been an enormous hit on Earth, judging from the 300,000 Acting Tough points the film had brought him. The ticket sales must have been through the roof!

Therefore, Lao Cai could afford to charge his phone with $1 million worth of credits. It just depended on whether or not he was resolute enough to do it. After all, it’s $1 million worth of phone credits! No average human would do that. If they did, the rumour that you could get a free kid along with a phone recharge could be true!

Let’s put that aside first until we open the gift bags. If it’s successful, I’ll go onto the battlefield once more and shoot a second special-effects film! It’ll easily be a greater hit than the last one at the box office!

The movie he had sent back previously had gotten him 300,000 Acting Tough points in one go! He smoked the Mutant Counterfeit Cigarette while he was at it, and the Acting Tough points’ worth doubled instantly, giving him a total of 600,000 Acting Tough points!

If he could shoot a movie more awesome and grand than the previous film to show in Earth’s cinemas, he could collect millions of Acting Tough points in minutes! By then, upgrading the system to version 10.0 would be an easy feat, and the day that he could finally return to Earth would be nearer!

“Come on! Take a gamble, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle. Play a game, your ancestors will be proud and honored! Activate my Lucky Aura, System!” Xu Que summoned the System excitedly and turned on his Lucky Aura. At the same time, he entered the item interface and fixed his gaze on the Big Gift Bag of Heavenly Tribulations.

He opened the Big Gift Bag of Heavenly Tribulations with a swoosh. The gift bag transformed into two beams of light, which dashed into the item backpack spaces.

Forgiveness Hat: Single-Use Item. Putting this on a selected target would make him forgive you for anything you’ve done.

Purchase Voucher: With this voucher, you could purchase an item in the System store for free.

“This…what the hell are these?”

Xu Que stared wide-eyed at the two items in the System parcel and was stupefied for a moment. The Purchase Voucher was decent; at least he could use it to buy some of the costliest things in the System store. But what’s the meaning of giving him a Forgiveness Hat? For someone meant for doing great things like the great Act-Tough Saint, why would he need anyone to forgive him for doing wrong deeds?

Eh, wait a minute, why is the hat green?

“Screw you, System, you’re forcing me to make someone a cuckold? Impossible, let me tell you, it’s absolutely impossible! I, Xu Que, stand righteous before heaven and earth. I will never do such a thing. You can give up on that!” Xu Que scolded the System, and his hands trembled in agitation. Forgiveness Hat, what a great item!

“No, wait. I wanted a signal booster! Why are you giving me this rubbish?” Realization suddenly dawned upon Xu Que, who was immediately crestfallen. He looked over at the Big Mystery Bag in the item space.

“I can only count on you now!” Xu Que thought to himself. With the Lucky Aura still in place, he opened the gift bag filled with hope!

Swoosh!

The Big Mystery Bag instantly dissolved into three beams of light and shot into the item spaces.

Ultra Invincible Emblem: Single-Use Consumable Amulet, withstands all attacks from anyone below the stage of an Immortal Cultivator, lasts for five seconds.

High-Class Escape Emblem: Able to break free from a certain level of restrictions, and perform instant teleportation. Teleports the user to any location within a radius of 10,000 miles.

Skill Essence: Upon use, the user will receive 50,000 points of Skill Essence.

“Ahhh!” Xu Que screamed in agony once he saw the three items. Dammit, no signal booster again!

Brother, I need a signal booster! Why are you giving me all these?

Xu Que grimaced sadly, as depressed as he could be. However, the items from the two gift bags were in fact head and shoulders above everything else he had received in the past. These items far surpassed – in both practicality and preciousness – what he had gotten before.

For instance, the Ultra Invincible Emblem grants the user invincibility for five seconds against any powerhouses under an Immortal Cultivator. Real Men Lasts Five Seconds, this sort of buff cannot be belittled!

As for the High-Class Escape Emblem, it was also an essential and practical item for Xu Que, who loved to run right after acting tough.

Even the final 50,000 points of Skill Essence was something he much needed right now.

All these items were made to boost his survivability and heighten his powers, but it just left out the signal boosters that he wanted the most. That’s the reason why he was so exasperated.

“Looks like I have to lose contact with Earth once again!” Xu Que shook his head and exited the System interface. He prepared to leave and meet up with Jiang Hongyan.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Xu Que turned to face the direction of the stir he had heard. He looked up and saw a black shadow blinking in the distance, and, the next moment, it appeared before him.

“Yo, it’s General Qin!” Xu Que quickly recovered from his daze and smiled. The incomer was Qin Wei, the General at the Great Vehicle Stage. Last night, Xu Que had killed tens of geniuses from the Divine Son Division right before his very eyes. Now that the general had sought him out personally, Xu Que was, of course, unclear about what was going to happen next.

However, not only was Xue Que not flustered at all, he pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, and, within his heart,he felt excited almost!
