《Once you go Wuxxia you never go back. [Not a Parody but moreso a revised wuxxia.]》Chapter Two
Advertisement
Ling Bo stared holes into the air, his arms tightening around Little Xi. It took a dozen minutes and the soft snoring of Lan Xi to wake Ling Bo from his stupor.
This can't be fucking real, can it?
But the question had been answered already, answered by the bold, cerulean-blue words floating in the air.
MC Cheat Sheet?
Ling Bo's mind drew a blank. There was neither a hint nor the faintest idea of what it could be in the recesses of his memories.
Though new 'Ling Bo' could imagine what to expect from a 'MC Cheat Sheet'.
Therefore he reluctantly pressed 'Yes'. And nothing happened.
Ling Bo guessed as much already. So he relaxed, concentrated and with the sheer might of willpower pressed the glowing 'Yes' once again.
Indeed, now it showed response.
The illusory image distorted and soon another bunch of words danced freely in the room.
MC Cheat Sheet
(Disable Tooltips? Yes [ ] | No [ ] )
Martial Shop (Purchase wonder panaceas, weapons, summons and more with MC points.)
Inventory (Intra-dimensional storage system unique to the User.)
Plot (Create story-arcs, lucky chances and furthers your Plot Armor.)
Postbox [1] (Gifts rewarded by the system are stored here and can be accessed whenever.)
Quest Book [4] (The Quest Book catalogues all MC pertaining quests)
Exit. [Yes | No]
MC points available: 10
'Ight, I'm getting batshit crazy.
The only reasonable explanation Ling bo could come up with.
The fall must have been greater than expected. I'd be lucky if it is just a light concussion.
Ling Bo nodded to himself, satisfied with the conclusion and a bit worried about his state of mind. Because, let's face it, this is more unreal than the whole world-transversal watchamacallit.
Yup, totally reasonable.
Though the obstinate letters kept hanging in place, mocking any affront to their grandeur.

As Ling Bo's inner clock kept ticking and the bog surrounding his mind cleared up it slowly seemed unto him that: a) 'He is indeed cray-cray', or: b) 'He is not'. Either of which being terrifying.
Breathing out a tired sigh Ling Bo decided to find out what this ruckus is all about, albeit begrudgingly.
First of he disabled the tooltips, no one needs that! And, who had guessed, ta-dah! The tiny annotations disappeared.
Yup, that this does not weird me out is completely ordinary, yup... yup, yup. Nothing to see here.....
Relinquishing his soliloquy he focused back on the task at hand.
Checking his options from the top to bottom he first openned the 'Martial Shop'.
Ding!
A handful of scrolls unwound themselves from the air, the sky-blue words receeding into the background but present nevertheless, lurking.
Martial Shop:
Consumables Equipment Cultivation
Those were the three main-options of the Martial Shop and Ling Bo perused each and everyone.
Consumables:
Organize by Price/Name
Alchemic Ingredients| Six Winged Lotus (1); Little Madcap (1); Rosebloom Thorn (2); Lilting Lily (5) [...] Enchantment Sets| Novice Set: Black Chalk {1 jin}, Folded Iron {10 jin}, Silk Scripts {20 pages} (10); Advanced Set: [...] Pre-made Remedies| Dragon Force Pill (5); Red Wood Elixir (5); Striped Bone Essence (20); [...] Recipes| Dragon Force Scroll (1); Red Wood Scroll (1); Striped Bone Edict (3); [...]
Ling Bo was showered by a wonderous assortement of novelties, some ingredient only spoken of in legends and other recipes longst forgotten in the sands of time. This, this was a gargantuan treasure trove, one that many a person would kill for.
He gulped down his feverish emotions and choose 'Equipment' next.
Equipment:
Organize by Price/Name
Weaponry| (Tip: A MC can only use the polar extremes of weapons, all of which can not be from modern times. Only weapons below 1 Jin [0.5 kg] or over 2000 Jin [1 ton] can be used.)
Advertisement
Polearms: UL/UH| Swords: UL/UH| Axes: UH| Maces: UH| Hammers: UH| Others: UL/UH
(UL: Ultra-Light| UH: Ultra-Heavy)
Talismans| Physical| Spiritual| Dual| Others Cauldrons| Green Fire (5); Fishscale Ocean (7); Shimmerwind (8); Hades' Left Eye (50); [...]
Simple and orderly. Neat.
From the cost-benefit ratio Ling Bo could safely say, the system is broken.
Take Shimmerwind for example. It is not just an ordinary cauldron, it is so much more.
Owned by the Tempest Lord, Wu Sha (Get it? Wind makes a noise like that...), he used this cauldron to elevate his law of the Wind to a whole 'nother level. It's materials are beyond rare, including -as was passed down by bards and poets- Myriad Dragon scale, Azure Mistwhale baleen, Stormhead Orchid and so on.
Just the scrap metal would be enough to plounder a kingdom's treasury!
Ling Bo peeled his eyes away from the fortune that would soon fall into his lap and eagerly called up the next option: Cultivation. He could hardly wait.
Cultivation:
Organize by Price/Name
Open all 12 Meridians and 8 Heaven Vessels (1000) (Centuples cultivation speed, Onetime, Permanent) Cultivation Manuals| Pysical| Spritual| Dual| Others Dao| Primary: Dao of Battle (100); Dao of Serenity (100); Dao of Valor (100); Dao of Vice (100)
Secondary: Dao of Arms (25); Dao of Favour (25); Dao of Nurture (25); Dao of Destruction (25)
Spiritual Sea| Dub (1); Well (5); Pond (10); Lake (40); Sea (100); Ocean (500); [...] Laws | All Elemental Laws: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Wood, Metal (90)/ Elemental Laws (20 each)

All Chimeric Laws (600)
Resumed Ethereal Laws: Space, Time, Transience, Annihilation, Creation (2000)/ Ethereal Laws (500 each)
All Laws: Lowest Comprehesion (2400)
All Laws: Highest Comprehension (12500)
Even Ling Bo had to swallow hard at the last part, 10000 points would be a huge sum but the gains would likewise be just as great.
He didn't even bother to look further into the weapons, that could be left for another day, instead he fervently skipped through the remaining main options.
Inventory was, as Ling Bo already suspected, empty, functioning much like the myth-enshrouded spatial rings only that its baggage space was endless.
Apropos baggage. As much as Ling Bo enjoyed sitting on the floor with a very cute girl on his lap as much does it hurt in your legs after some time. Gingerly he picked up the darling child and placed her on his haybed. The contrast between the benign and pure girl with the patched drabs and crude 'bed' sent Ling Bo's emotions on a roller coaster. How could he let her live like that, and most likely she had it even worse than him!
Swearing to himself that he will payback Lan Xi's grace a hundred-fold he set foot outside, as a new person, as a better person.

House of Gates
Lucia and Florencia, two halves of an empire, split down the center in a war that has raged for centuries. In the recent decades of the hostilities, the two sides have been particularly egregious towards one another. With the Battle of the Dead Emperors, the rulers and their immediate heirs on both sides of the conflict have been killed, leaving Lucia and Florencia with rulers not expected to be within the immediate line of succession. Together, Empress Caelestinius of Lucia and Albion Justin of Florencia have met in secret to discuss a plan to end the war once and for all. Nothing is certain as a plan to force the respective nobilities together to resolve their differences is enacted in the form of a trap. The houses will unite in marriage—or they will drown in blood. Maximilian Silvanus, lord of Lucia, is one such man of the nobility. He has fought and bled for Lucia. He has endured the childish taunts of his nemesis, Lady Gabriela Farreli on the field of defeat on several occasions. And now he must end hostilities? A letter from the Empress reaches him, commanding that he do so in order for him to make all due hast with the rest of his noble countrymen for the ancient and mysterious House of Gates. Max does not believe the ‘parley’ with the Florencians will go well. And if he sees Lady Farreli at the House of Gates? Why, he may just snap her neck before running her through.
