“Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm.” Lin Wu declared.

As soon as Lin Wu spoke the notification sound appeared once again.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

NOTIFICATION: The host has given a designation to their species. The Host data will now be updated.

—————————————————————————————————

Lin Wu was actually unable to think of any impressive sounding name for his species, thus he decided to go along with his physical appearance. He himself had crimson red eyes and an emerald green body, thus it just seemed obvious to name himself that.

“While it may not be too overbearing, at least it sounds good enough.” Lin Wu assured to himself.

‘Now then, what am I supposed to do now?’ Lin Wu thought and curled back into a thinking posture.

Now that he had completed the main quest, which was to reach the qi refining realm, he wondered if he would get any more quests. But even after waiting for it, he didn’t receive it. The main quest that he had received was rather stressful as it was a question of life and death, thus it seemed to be more urgent.

But now that his life span had reached a hundred and fifty years, Lin Wu discovered that he felt a little lost. He realized that he had no goal in life now, and he needed one.

“What was it that I wanted to do in the previous life? I remember wanting to play video games all the time, wanting to eat all the amazing food I saw on the television and on social media. Oh! and how could I forget, I also had an immense love for the ‘Elixir’ energy drinks?” Lin Wu muttered to himself.

‘Hmm, I can’t seem to decide on anything. What do the protagonists of cultivation novels do when they arrive there? Become immortal, I guess, oh and get jade beauties. Jade beauties are important, of course.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.

But after having these thoughts, Lin Wu looked at himself once again. All he had right now was a worm’s body that looked a little beautiful as it was crystalline.

‘There’s no way I can get any Jade beauties this way. Neither can I have the delicious food from this world as that would involve going to the human settlements, and I think it will be pretty suspicious if a Green Crystal worm like me swaggered in. I would definitely get captured or worse… killed.’

‘As for the ‘Elixir’ energy drinks, I definitely don’t think I will find them here. And even if there is something similar here, it would not be the same if it does not have the same amazing taste that gave you a euphoric rush.’ Lin Wu thought with a little obsessive expression.

Unknown to him, he had actually started drooling as he thought of the ‘Elixir’ energy drink series. He then suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and realized what he did.

“Why am I reacting like this again? Seems like I really need to wait for my soul to stabilize or I’ll return to my previous childish ways.” Lin Wu stated to himself.

“Bah! I’ll just ask the system what I should do.” Lin Wu decided.

“System, what should I do next? Or what is the next quest?” Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

ANSWER: The system only assigns quest when something of importance or beneficial to the host appears. The host can only wait and explore in order to trigger some quests. As for the host’s first inquiry about what to do, the host can increase his cultivation base first.

Accordant to the system’s data banks, the main goal of every cultivator should be to increase their cultivation level. Thus the system recommends that the host should utilize the spirit qi in the storage and upgrade their cultivation base.

—————————————————————————————————

After looking at the suggestion of the system, Lin Wu found it to be reasonable. After all, even he knew from his experience of the countless cultivation novels that the main goal of every protagonist was to become immortal and strong.

“Alright system, use the stored spirit qi and upgrade my cultivation base to the next level.” Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

—————————————————————————————————

NOTIFICATION: Upgrading the host’s cultivation base to the next stage.

ANALYZING VITALS: Host vitals are stable, tranquilization is not needed.

—————————————————————————————————

Lin Wu felt a little surprised that he did not need to be tranquilized now. Every time he had upgraded his cultivation level before, he had been tranquilized by the system. But now it seemed to be unnecessary.

“Well, that’s an improvement at least.” Lin Wu muttered to himself and then went silent as he felt the change.

A wave of energy was spreading in his body, and it seemed to glow for a moment. The underground lake was once again filled with a green glow that spread out from the opening at the top. Though unlike before, the green light was not as strong and faded away after a couple of seconds.

Lin Wu could now sense another change. He could feel as if there was a strange stream of energy filling his body. The energy seemed to have appeared out of nothing and was filling incorporeal looking veins that he could only think were meridians.

The energy that was filling him was formless and colorless, yet the feeling of comfort that accompanied it was rather pleasant to him. He felt as if he was taking a soak in a hot spring or as if he was getting an amazing massage by a jade beauty.

The feeling finally passed away after a few seconds, and Lin Wu opened his eyes. The notification sound finally rang in his mind and the new screen appeared.

‘That was pretty quick, I thought it would take much longer than this.’ Lin Wu thought, feeling a bit surprised.
