Chapter 17: Foreigner''s Trouble
Lee was sitting on the chair in a room inside the doctor''s house. An Fenfang slept on the bed across the room. Her pale ck colouration had gone and the doctor told him that she''ll wake up in about 2 days. An unexpected loud sigh gave the doctor a reason to chuckle, but Lee who sigh didn''t intend to do so. It waspletely involuntary.
Lee ced his sped hands on the table and nced at the screen. His eyes were not focused on anything, but thoughts were revolving around what D said earlier. Before the situation worsens, D said calmly.
[Don''t dwell in the past. Nobody wanted to transfer you here. No one wanted to give you trouble. Will had already assessed that you might not be able to go with the ways of this ne. So the skill it gave will fill the gap. And you have your sword mastery unlocked. It''s a win-win situation.]
Lee silently listened to his consoling words. But as D expected, Lee wasn''t down. He was finding a new way to grow strong and great.
''D, I get it. You don''t have to repeat it again...but I have to ask, are there anymore hidden system features and gifts yet to unlock and open?!''
[Yes. Like your memory, the system will improvise itself in the course of time. Wasn''t I a sentient and powerful being once?!]
''From your evaluation, what''s the level of my attributes?! How can my stats be represented in this dimension''s terms?!''
D went silent for a moment. Lee anxiously waited for his reply. As time went by, he grew restless.
[In rtion to this world''s powerhouses, you have the stats of a Soul Transformation peak stage cultivator orbat skills definitely above an elite grade mana user.]
Lee was amazed by D''s evaluation. Every time he hears D, his expectations and logic are reset to another level. Lee felt calm andposed on hearing this.
''Incredible''
His words were apanied with raised brows. He was suppressing his excitement deep inside.
''How to cultivate Qi and master Mana?!''
Lee voiced the most important question. He had resolved his mind to challenge his difficulties and conquer great heights. D didn''t speak. Instead, a pale grey screen appeared. On the screen was a stick figure with no facial features. It held a microphone in one of its hands. A ckboard materialised from thin air and stood right next to him.
[Testing..one..two..woof..woof..dubidy....dubidy.do.do....pe pe!]
''D, did you hit your head somewhere?! You''re abnormally crazy.''
[I was doing a mic test. We''re good to go.
Cultivation and Mastery are done in------>
-----------------------------
The introduction lecture was about 10 minutes. After that, D briefly exined as to why Lee will face difficulty in future.
[For Qi affinity, a Qi Dantian is needed. For Mana affinity, Mana Pool is needed. These help the host to absorb respective energy from the atmosphere or food or any input. I have created an artificial Dantain and Pool that cannot help you in absorbing the energy, but can umte them limitlessly. Due to this feature, you don''t have to take rest or break between breakthroughs. Topensate this advantage, you''ll have to actively struggle to absorb Qi and Mana. Other factors regarding these are------------>
The theory part was about an hour. During this time, the doctor once entered the room to check Fenfang''s condition. He couldn''t find anything more weirder than Lee staring at the wall with clenched fists and enthusiastic smile in the room.
D finished his ss and the screen disappeared. Before he summoned D for further questioning, few screens appeared.
=====
Due to the host''s inability to actively cultivate Qi and master Mana, ''cultivation techniques'' and ''magic spells'' have been locked and hidden from sight. They will be unlocked ording to the host''s capability.

=====
Lee could only put on a smile as he asked D-
''You really are trying to make me cultivate, eh?!''
[I don''t know what you''re talking about!]
''.....leave it. We''ve got a lot of things to test and run. Let''s get somewhere safe and alone.''
Doctor saw Lee walking out of the room with an expressionless face. He didn''t go out, but went to Paulo''s house.
"Vige head, I''m feeling tired. Can I go and take a nap?!" (Lee)
"Oh, sure. Younger generation must take enough rest to stay strong to protect dear ones in future." (Paulo)
Lee didn''t mind his remark and went upstairs to take a look at the new features he obtained.
''Full status!''
