Chapter 56: Encounter with a cultivator
[You sure gave him a lot of money, host]
'Money he won't be able to use.' Wei Jun replied. The compensation money Wei Jun had given him came from the gang he murdered saving Xiao Heiling. If Run Long used that money, the heat of the police would be on him.
'But given how broken, unreasonable, and illogical his luck was in the novel, I doubt it would have any effect on him.' Wei Jun inwardly thought as he sighed. And the dread that he had just read the first volume consisting of about only a hundred chapters and he didn't want to read the next volumes if his level up didn't depend on them.
'But although ridiculous, his skills were good.' Even Wei Jun admitted that because he had witnessed firsthand the skills displayed by Run Long. After all, not everyone can cure erectile dysfunction like that.
[It wasn't erectile dysfunction]
'It wasn't?' Wei Jun asked, quite very surprised because that was what it looked like.
[It wasn't]
[The Qi was blocking the blood vessels of the old man]
[In fact, he didn't even have to make such a big show, and a Qi circulation to unblock that Qi would have been enough]
Wei Jun was aghast by how even he had been fooled by Run Long. It was justifiable in his case because he didn't have any knowledge about Qi but still, the fact that Run Long had managed to deceive a lot of people like that made Wei Jun rethink Run Long's values.
'By the way, you seem to know a lot about Qi.' Wei Jun commented after picking on a point that many might have missed. The way the system explained the procedure was as if coming from someone very experienced.
[I am the overseer of this world hence why I know a lot]
'Has there been a case like me then? A case where one cannot possess Qi?' Wei Jun curiously asked, seeing the system in a new light.
[Only one since the birth of Qi]
'The birth of Qi? What do you mean by that?' Wei Jun asked, confused by the fact stated by the system because Wei Jun was under the assumption that Qi always existed in this world.
[That information is unavailable at the current level of host]
'What's that supposed to me---' Wei Jun was in the middle of asking when he noticed a truck coming at him full power from the other intersection. If Wei Jun and the truck went at the same pace, they would collide. Wei Jun reduced the speed of his car and let the truck pass only to be surprised to see an SUV heading straight in his direction.
Even Wei Jun couldn't prevent a collision this close and they both rammed into each other, well, the SUV did while Wei Jun could only buckle himself properly by putting pressure on the steering wheel.
'It's a good thing I always wear seatbelts.' Wei Jun inwardly thought just before his car collided with the SUV. Wei Jun's light car was easily lifted off the road and rolled and tumbled to the side of the road, coming to a halt after coming in contact with the roadside barriers.
The man in the truck came out and three men came out of the SUV. The men in the SUV were carrying guns but the man from the truck, with an almost six feet height and a beef bus appearance, was empty-handed and simply walked over to the wrecked car.
"He must have died, right? I mean, no one could survive that." One of the men whose face was unimportant said. The buff man simply replied, "Only one way to find out. Drag his body out of the car."
Two of the men stepped forward and pulled the already destroyed door of the driver's side of Wei Jun's car. They found a handsome bloodied young man whose fate remained to be seen yet. Whether he was dead or just passed out remained to be uncertain.
One of the men unbuckled the seat belt and the other dragged the body out. They dragged the body over to the buff man who said, "Well, look at that, still alive."
The man hadn't checked Wei Jun's pulse to be certain but from his words, it seemed like he had another way of examining Wei Jun. "But that's for the better. I was asked to give him a painful death anyway."
The rest of the men snickered when they knew the meaning of the buff man's words. He was especially known for his love of torturing handsome men in various unquestionable ways.
While they were all snickering, a voice fell into their ears. "By who, I wonder?" The body in their feet spoke and before the man could react, he was grabbed by his foot and pulled, making him fall while a series of silenced gunshots rang out, instantly killing the three men with guns.
Wei Jun instantly rolled on the ground to get away from the man and stood up like he wasn't in a grave accident just a few moments ago. He hadn't saved on bullets so the magazine of his SMG was already half gone and all for three men at that.
He shook his head as he checked the usual messages of receiving no stats because his targets didn't possess any Qi. There was also another set of notifications.
[You have consumed a healing pill]
[HP has been fully restored]
[You cannot consume another pill for ten minutes]
Wei Jun wasn't concerned about this fact but he wanted a few insurances in case he couldn't just do with a healing pill. Wei Jun turned to look at the buff man slowly getting up and pointed his gun at him.
However, unlike how Wei Jun had expected the beef man to cower, he simply began to make his way to Wei Jun while saying, "I like boys who resist."
Wei Jun chose to ignore that remark and shot at the feet of the beef man. The beef man stopped for a second while the system called Wei Jun.
[Uhh… Host]
'Not now!' Wei Jun dismissed the system and pointed the gun at the man again.
[But host…]
'I said not now!' Wei Jun dismissed the system once again as the man raised his head to look at Wei Jun with a questioning expression with one of his eyebrows raised as he began to walk forward.
Wei Jun didn't want to kill this man because he was the only source of information about who had called the hit on Wei Jun but seeing that the man wasn't stopping, Wei Jun shot at the man's left leg only to see the bullet bounce off after colliding with something invisible on the man's leg, maybe over his whole body.
'I take it you were trying to tell me he was a cultivator.' Wei Jun said inwardly as he now understood what the system was trying to tell him earlier.
[Qi gathering realm]
[Strength 54]
[Stamina 49]
[Agility 47]
[Qi 48]
Overall stat composition including the most unfamiliar stat that was Qi, the beef man had stat almost three times that of Wei Jun. Wei Jun didn't think for another moment and began to shoot at the man. The magazine was emptied in two seconds but the man wasn't scratched even a bit.
The beef man resumed his advance toward Wei Jun who stored the gun back in inventory and pulled out an automatic rifle this time. The man stopped in his path when he saw the unusual ability of Wei Jun but before he could process any further, Wei Jun opened fire on the man which didn't change the earlier result.
Instead, the beef man began to run towards Wei Jun, and by the time the bullets ran out, he was already upon Wei Jun and slapped him, flinging him across the road.
[HP 17\\21]
Wei Jun instantly composed himself ignoring the pain but that was enough time for the man with almost two and a half times of agility of Wei Jun to be already beside him by the time he stood up.
Wei Jun knew he couldn't dodge this one as well so all he could do was brace himself for the impact. He crossed his arm in front of his stomach because that was where the fist of the man was headed. The fist collided with Wei Jun's forearms and Wei Jun's body was raised off the ground by almost six feet and he was thrown across the road by the distance of almost ten meters.
He rolled on the road as multiple scratches appeared on him from the roll and his tuxedo was destroyed in a hundred different places.
[HP 12\\21]
[Warning]
[Your left arm has been broken]
[No Qi to initiate healing]
[Healing cannot be done]
From the notifications that flashed past his vision, Wei Jun at least figured out that Qi could heal his injuries or at least his critical injuries.
Wei Jun's right forearm was numb and he couldn't outright feel the right one. His left arm was out of commission and the monster guy wasn't showing any signs of stopping.
Wei Jun was brainstorming for ideas when a new set of notifications appeared before him.
[Qi gathering realm]
[Strength 18]
[Stamina 15]
[Agility 13]
[Qi 48]
'What the…'
