The transaction

He came back to his consciousness after a while. " f**k I really thought I died in there.... how did I make such a newbie mistake of not checking the map every now and then for enemies... Thank god I really didn't die in there.. wait what is this place .. " All of a sudden he found a new prompt open up in front of him. Andrew [Carl Adam] Level : 0 kills : 0 Damage dealt : 0 Survival time : 11 minutes Evaluation : pathetic Reward : 100 gold coins, 15 Exp point. " was I that pathetic... wait there is a shop function now, why are everything so costly.... let me look at the cheapest stuff, f**k it cost minimum 500 gold for a USP gun.... I wonder If I would be able to take the guns out into the cultivation world that would be so damn cool..." After looking around for a while he found that there was an icon to exit the game and watch the other players, then there was a guide book which recorded all kinds of weapons , vehicles , terrains and other details. But most of the pages were hazy and one couldn't see the contents. But he found that the area that he has passed through while in the game was described detailedly, and in the weapons pages only the frying pan was described, then in the inventory page he found his own space pouch… he was shocked to find that even the method of making this frying pan and pouch was described very meticulously, detailing all the materials used… He was even more shocked to find that a secret magic array had been laid in the creation of this frying pan, which made it have two very special effects. The first being -deflection:- an energy wall would be formed in the direction when the pan was used to deflect an attack. The second was - instant knockout :- if someone was hit with the pan it would be an instant knockout. Of Course both the abilities were not all powerful, the effect varied according to the level of the opponent. Andrew started reading the guide book more carefully... After half an hour reading he found something very interesting he could completely grasp everything recorded in the guide book after reading it one time. Then he focused on the system prompt to find that there were two more icons beside the game icon. one was a map and the other was a bag. He focused on the map but it didn't show anything, so he focused on the bag. He was surprised to find that his space pouch was still inside. Earlier in the game he had tried to use his pouch but was unsuccessful, but now when he focused on the pouch it directly appeared in his hand and a new message appeared before the shop prompt. [ Do you wish to exchange spirit stones to buy gold coins..] [ exchange rate : 10 spirit stones = 100 gold coins ] Andrew knew that he had around 100 low grade and 1 medium grade spirit stones. He exchanged 40 spirit stones for 400 gold and bought the USP pistol. This was a precaution from his side, he knew he had many enemies with the kind of life that Carl lived until now, both in the open and dark. Since he couldn't cultivate anymore, this was a kind of apt protection if the situation calls for it. Even Though he didn't know whether he could take it out  to the real world, he had a feeling that he could. After buying the Usp pistol the corresponding details also appeared in the guide he was surprised to find that this was also not an ordinary pistol but a magical one. Even the metal used in the creation was not ordinary. But there was a big flaw which was outside a  hundred meter range  the precision depended upon the shooter's skill. He also got 90 bullets along with the g*n, which would load up automatically when one round finishes up. As he was trying to figure out more details about the game and its function, his surroundings became hazy again and he was out of the special space and returned to his room. After returning to the room the first thing that he did was focus on the systems icon and this time the luck was on his side, inside the system prompt three more icons were glittering one was the map , a guide book and the bag . With focusing he entered the inventory and found the  pistol, with just a thought the item appeared in his hand in the real world…. Tears started falling from his eyes.. " finally something good happens…. I feel like screaming...haaa " After enjoying the moment for a while his thoughts came back to the present situation. He thought " I wonder if the Map would have any function in the outside world…" And he focused on the map and saw that the small icon turned into a real big map which covered 100's of Kilometers. But he was in for a new surprise again, he knew the green arrow was himself, but along with it There were a lot of white arrows, then there were few red arrows  and three golden arrows. He knew the red arrows were enemies but what were these golden arrows. Since all of the arrows were too far away he didn't indulge in it more as he will be able to figure out sooner or later. After thinking through all kinds of things, his attention focused on the most immediate things. " This stink… my enemies are real good, even when I was close to death they didn't spare from humiliating me and sent me to this broken house near to the dumpyard, Did they want me to realize that I am just a trash… Just wait for it bitches,…. When this king returns in his full glory is the day you die…. And you bastards whom I called brothers, not even one of you came for my help when I was in such a situation… No, revenge is not my priority but strengthening myself, if only my dantain was not broken...huh wait..." When thinking about dantain he had accidentally concentrated his mind on the dantain area. He was shocked instantly to find that he could feel little energy from his dantain and as he focused more he found that for some unknown reason his dantain has been completely healed the only problem was there was only a little energy he was not even in the level 1 of qi cultivation layer, he had also gained the spirit sense with which he could observe everything around him like a sixth sense, but the area was limited to only 1 meter around him. " Hell yeah …. finally the system has shown it's worth, It must have been the inhaler that restored my HP, I even felt a burning sensation in my dantain then…. First I need to change this place. In my memory, as a servant disciple I can create my own house anywhere in the outside area of the school, after applying for it in the administration department … hmm.. I need to find a better place… this is going to be arduous work… wait I have a map.." As he focused, the map automatically opened up and showed the vast surrounding. He soon figured out how the map depicted different things, he also noticed that the colors shown in the map were peculiar…. There was a silver color shown in the map towards the center of the school. He knew the places with the brightest silver color depicted , they were the cultivation chambers offered by the school and the main peaks of different departments. But as he looked carefully,  there was a small point of silver in the outer area of the school. After further exploration he figured this must be a place with concentrated natural spirit energy which could be absorbed by the cultivator to cultivate qi. Since he needed to find another place to stay any way, he thought of checking the silver dot shown on the map. As he was thinking of finding a new place his identity token vibrated , the school identity token also acted like a mobile phone to send and receive messages. The message was short, Carl Adam  should report to the Administrative department . Andrew was expecting something like this and he knew what he was called in for. This was a summoning to demote him to a servant disciple and take away all his privileges as an internal disciple. This was also the reason why he never thought of going back to his old peak in the inner part of the school, where he used to live earlier. He didn't think much of this and focused on his next plan to approach the silver dot. While he started the journey, he had the same feeling as if he could run without rest like in the game, so he started  running to try it out, to his surprise he found that he could really enter a sprint like in the game and move really fast with this technique. Similarly he could also use the peculiar jump that was used in the game, he could  easily jump 2meters high and around 5 meters with his full power. He reached the spot within half an hour, and found a problem. The place was an ordinary small hill and there was a small house on that hill. Carl instantly understood that someone had really beaten him to this and had already occupied this place. But he found it weird that there was no extra spirit energy even though he was standing so close to the place. So he tried to pinpoint the location and found that the silver dot was not pointing towards the peak or the house, but a nearby broken well, so he got close and inspected the well casually. He found that there was no water in the well and the wall of the well has broken down filling the well with debris. He didn't loiter further and looked at the nearby house. Through his map he could see that there was a white arrow inside the house. Since white arrow meant a neutral party he went to the house and knocked at the door. An ordinary young boy opened the door with a confused look. He had a smile on his face when he opened the door but after looking at the guest carefully his face became more wary and asked. " Senior brother spike head how can I help you.." Andrew was a little shocked by the fact that he was really infamous and even an unknown servant disciple recognized him. Andrew put on a smile and asked " There is nothing much younger brother, I wanted to know if this hill and house is registered to you…" The youngster replied more warily " yes it is .." Andrew continued " then younger brother I would like to make a deal with you, how about transferring the authority of this house to me and I will give you 5 low grade spirit stones as compensation…" The youngster was shocked at first, as an ordinary servant disciple he only got 1 spirit stone every month from the school, for all the work he did. 5 spirit stones for this land was a huge profit in his eyes, he could always find a similar place and build such an ordinary cabin easily. But he was still wary of Spike heads reputation as an evildoer, but with a little courage he still asked. " can we sign an official agreement…" Andrew was brimming with happiness inside, but he clearly didn't show it outside and nodded seriously. " of course we can…" With the approval of both the parties, everything was smooth; they went to the administration department and signed an agreement. Andrew also went into the specific department area to answer his summoning and received the order of transition from an internal disciple to servant disciple. With Andrew not showing any objection everything went smoothly, he received a new token in exchange for the old one as well as a new uniform of the servant disciple. On the way Andrew had noticed that he had really become infamous, whenever some students saw him they would have a mocking look in their eyes or pity, some would even start speaking in the open about him. But he didn't dwell on this much as he was expecting something like this, still he couldn't completely control his emotions. Andrew found that the youngsters name was rocky and he was a good lad, he cultivated adorously and did all kinds of tasks in the school. Andrew spoke showing a little embarrassment " This younger brother … I need your help with something…" Rocky had a wary look again but he still nodded yes. Andrew continued while taking out his space pouch " can you take out twenty low grade spirit stones from the pouch and some other things that I require…. You know I have been hurt… so " Rocky was shocked to hear this, but after realizing the situation , he thought that this was only natural. Andrew also didn't want any unwanted attention towards him, so he had decided to use rocky like this from the get go. Rocky did as he was asked and he was brimming with joy after receiving the 5 spirit stones and thanked Carl again and again. Even Though Andrew was extremely happy he didn't show it outside and bring unwanted attention. When the two separated Andrew had a big bag on his back which had all kinds of things that Rocky had taken out from the space pouch for him. Andrew didn't linger anymore, but as he left the administration department he found a familiar figure, a young man with black tied up hair and grey eyes. It was one of his so called backstabbing brothers.
