Scp Gacha System In A Cultivation World - zChapter 262
Out of all the members of Heaven’s Angels, the first to go up was Runt! As an 8th stage Qi Gatherer, he was just below Bing and Lei Zhi in terms of cultivation while equal to Lin Shu. Despite his shabby appearance, the fact that he was a part of Heaven’s Angels was known! Many eyes wandered over to his small figure with his notable pink hair and his camera hanging around his neck. Only those from his group knew the purpose and power of the camera.
Runt had two big sisters as his teammates. Neither of them seemed to be on the same level as Ying, so he wasn’t afraid of them. The first big sister had a cold personality and ignored him entirely while the second big sister couldn’t stop talking. He didn’t know if they knew each other but as it was now, he was going to fail if this icy big sister didn’t get her act together.
They had around 10 minutes to get to know one another before they had to fight. If they were ready ahead of time, they just had to say so with every member of the team in agreement. If not, they were forced to wait out the entire 10 minutes until everyone was on the same page. From what could be seen so far, the elders were more than happy to see teams use up all ten minutes while discussing with one another.
“You’re pretty cute..” Talkative Big Sister smiled brightly. “You know, I’ve been looking for a little brother to dote on ever since mine died back home. He couldn’t keep up with me whenever I needed to practice my martial arts and died. Then my mom and dad kicked me out of the clan.”
Runt chose to ignore the annoying but scary big sister for now and stared directly at the quiet one.
“Do you mind working together with us so that we can pass?” Runt’s words were cut out by a squeal as he was captured in a tight hug by the Scary Big Sister.
“You sound just as adorable as you look!” She shook him from side to side.
“The Supreme Commander said we’ll but judged on well we work together and use our strengths to cover up each other’s weaknesses.” Runt painful squeeze on his ċhėst as he looked into Icy Big Sister’s eyes. “My weakness is that I am vulnerable up close. I’m not that good at fighting up close with people but my strength is I’m good at fighting at a distance.” Runt shared one strength and weakness of himself.
“The more you ignore me, the more I’m going to love you.” The Scary Big Sister threatened.
“My name is Runt. What’s yours?” He asked the woman trying to squeeze out his internal organs.
“Hehe! This big sister’s name is Qin Jue! Wait! Just Jue since my mom and dad kicked me out of the clan.” She corrected. “Hmm… Something I’m good at is fighting! Something I’m bad at is controlling my strength!” Jue stuck out her tongue as if embarrassed by that fact.
Runt looked toward the Icy Big Sister. She clicked her tongue as she looked at him and Jue. He didn’t understand what her problem was. Didn’t she want to show a good showing for the elders like everyone else? Runt heard there were good prizes if you did well in the finale and made it to the end.
“Shi Lina.” Shi stated her name. “I have no weaknesses.” She boldly declared. “I’m good at fighting alone and not being dragged down by trash and low-class peasants.”
‘That explains the attitude…’ Runt figured out why she was being like this.
“I think she’s insulting us and saying we’re worthless Little Bro…” Jue whispered into his ear.
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” Shi didn’t deny it. “Stay out of my way and don’t make me look bad.” She threatened with a wave of killing intent.
“If she’s scaring you Little Bro, I can break her neck for you.” Jue didn’t mind whispering more terrifying words into his ear.
Runt took a deep breath before talking, “We can stay out of your way. Can you fight all three of them at once?” Runt needed to know before going along with this noble. He’s seen and met her types before back at Dragon City. The best way to get along with them is to do what they say exactly to the word.
“Hmph. They’re trash too.” She shared her opinion of their opponents’ strength.
“Great! Me and Jue will stay behind and help you out whenever you need it!” Runt exclaimed.
“I won’t need your help.” Shi quickly stated.
“Even better! Just do your thing and ignore us.” Runt gave her a thumbs up.
“… Whatever.” Shi turned as she pulled out her glowing red sword from its scabbard.
“But Little Bro, how are we going to pass to the next round if she’s the only one doing anything?” Jue asked.
“I have something in mind for us to do.” Runt answered. “How good are you at throwing things?”
“I can hit a Blue Cloud Eagle Hawk with a rock while it’s flying away.” Jue answered with pride.
“Really?” Runt asked with genuine interest on his face.
Blue Cloud Eagle Hawks were known for their impressive speed. Jue was just a Qi Gatherer, so it would be crazy if she really could do that. Considering how crazy she’s been acting so far, Runt wasn’t sure if he could believe her or not. It looks like he’ll have to find out in their match…
The other team was ready within five minutes. Runt’s team took the whole ten minutes. Their match started after the elder watching over the match called out for it to start. Shi ran forward with her sword alone. Runt had to politely ask her to put him down as the fight started. Jue wanted to decline but couldn’t after he said please. The two of them stayed behind with Runt taking out the Silent God’s Ocarina before giving Jue multiple geeks from his storage ring.
Her first instinct was to sniff it before putting one in her mouth.
“Sweet?!” Jue exclaimed. “What kind of candy is this Little Bro!?”
“It’s what you’re supposed to be throwing at the enemy team to help Shi out…” Runt explained. “Please stop eating them.” He had to request.
“Sorry! They’re just so tasty! I never ate anything as tasty as this after I got kicked out by my family.”
“I’ll give you some more after we finish the fight.” Jing never seemed to run out of them somehow. Even Lei Zhi had a mountain of them inside his storage ring for patients.
“That’s a promise, Little Bro!” A frightening amount of qi soon exploded from within her body.
Runt’s hair and clothes were blown back as he stood next to her in shock. He had a less difficult time believing that she accidentally killed her brother in a spar with this much qi. She was three stages below himself in cultivation but with qi like this, it was like she was an entire realm above him! Runt was starting to think that he got himself involved with someone really troublesome…
Jue had no idea of the thoughts going on inside her new little brother’s head. Using her qi, she began chucking geeks at the enemy while they were engaged with Shi. The geeks were coated in her qi, giving them an extra amount of power. Groans, screams, and grunts came from the mouths of the other team as her candy landed accurately on their body. With over a dozen of geeks in her hand, she soon began to take the spotlight from Shi as the enemies were dropping like flies because of her rapid-fire throwing.
Runt placed a small bag of geeks down at his side for Jue to take when she ran out of geeks before playing his ocarina to support them. Unfortunately, it seemed like his teammates were too strong compared to his opponents… He bȧrėly had the chance do anything with his ocarina before they were unable to continue fighting. With Jue’s unbelievable strength and accuracy paired along with Shi’s impeccable and beautiful swordsmanship, their enemies couldn’t react in time.
Shi was capable of facing all three of them just by herself while Jue could just sit back, eat candy, and injure the enemies from a distance. If they tried splitting up where two of them tried to handle Shi and the third went after Jue, who would take the pink-haired brat?! They could only blame their misfortune for encountering two monsters so soon. Another thought soon came into their minds as the match was called.
While one’s talent or individual strength wasn’t being judged, wouldn’t it be pretty difficult for a team to show off their teamwork if they’re eliminated before they can fully show it!? The win was given to Runt’s team for some reason that was only discussed between the elders. Runt released the breath of air he didn’t know he was holding in as he walked back to his group. He won without even doing anything really. That felt really good.
“Good job out there, Runt!” Lin Shu smiled before her eyes started looking at something above and behind him with confusion.
“Thank you?” Runt turned around and realized that Jue was still behind him.
“Hello everybody. I would like to thank you for taking care of my Little Brother all this time.” Jue gave a polite bow. “My name is Jue. I’m his big sister.” A bright innocent smile came from her lips.
“…” Runt didn’t know how to react to this situation. “She isn’t related to me.”
