Reputation Gu

Blood covered us as the damned bastard died and I caught 5 entire Gu worms! There was even a mother fucking rank 3 among them! What an amazing find! The Gu worms I looted were as follows.

Thundering cover Gu rank 2

Brown boar strength Gu rank 1

Self-reliance Gu rank 3

Hardened teeth Gu rank 2

White boar strength Gu rank 1

Thunder cover Gu can be used along with Iron cover Gu and spark of destruction Gu to create a rank 3 Gu called explosive defense Gu. This was a good find, but I don't have enough capital to feed 8 or 9 Gu worms! Especially if one of them is a rank 3! The self-reliance Gu speeds up your metabolism proportionate to your body's strength, but it's food is actually rank 1 healing or strength path Gu worms!

I am not keeping that thing! I can barely buy a single Gu once a month! I am not feeding this bastard! It can be sold for over 100 Gu points on it's own and no one wants it, as raising it is too costly. "Wang Da and I are the only Gu masters here and I am the only one among us, who can actually take care of a rank 3 Gu, so I propose that I take it. All 4 of us can gather near my house and use these Gus' by taking turns. 15 minutes each day for 25 days. I am thinking of just selling the hardened teeth Gu, as it is pretty useless to any of us. And the last one is thunder cover Gu. It feeds on eels, so I say I keep it as well.

Sorry I am hording all the Gus' this time around. As compensation, Wang Er can claim the corpses of all the fallen boars. We got one thousand beast King, rabid brown boar corpse and 56 smaller brown boars. Well, you guys killed more than 230 total, but we can't sell the ones Wang Da killed, or we will risk exposing his identity. It is better to use them as feeding materials for the boar strength Gus'

Even though we are cutting such a large part out, the total price should be around 100 for the 56 boars and 250 for the boar king, plus a bonus for killing a thousand beast King. Sounds fare in my opinion. Any disagreements?"

The wang brothers nodded their heads and now I took all the Gu worms with me. I instantly sold self-reliance and Hardened teeth Gu for 200 Gu points, bringing my total to 330 Gu points, just 170 Gu points shy of my goal!

Pfff! What keeping Gu! My system has all Gu worms backed up on it! I can buy any Gu as long as I have the Gu points for it! I will buy them back when I get enough Gu points! Well, the self-reliance Gu, not the others. I also will have to pay them 200 primeval stones out of my own pocket in the future.

I eased up on the slave thing and just treat Jack as my brother openly. We did use a rank 1 slave Gu to make it official, but I mostly use my command authority ro make him do things he doesn't want to, but will help him.

People criticize me for it, look at me with contempt for it, but I already gave up my dumb brute act and couldn't care less about sheep. He is my slave, but he is also my brither!

Also, who dares to look at us brothers in contempt! We are part of the rich society already and are only kids, legally speaking. Tax exemption is amazing! We make so much money it is almost disgusting!

"Alright, let's head back to the clan ci-" I don't know what happened, but my body suddenly went limp and my brother barely caught me on his shoulder. "I am feeling kinda tired. Can we go to ma's place and get healed? I am pretty sure both of our muscles are torn to shreds at this point!"

I kinda feel bad for Jack. He had to carry nearly a ton of weight in boar corpses, his quarter ton sword and my 100kg ass to ma's place, but I was too tired to even move. An hour later we finally arrived at our clan town and people went ballistic when they saw a giant boar and 56 normal sized boars being dragged around town by a giant of a man like Jack with Guts in his right hand and me on his back.

We quickly arrived at my mum's house and Jack sat all the boar corpses down in front of the house, dumped me off on my dad's RI world version of a couch and fell down on the ground right next to me, even more exhausted than I.

Wang Er had to carry him to his bed and scratched the wooden floor because of the sword dragging behind him. "Seriously, how the fuck can he lift and swing this literal slab of iron?"

I laughed at his typical response and said "Killing giants requires a sword big enough to injure them. I am pretty sure you know I don't mean beast kings by Giants, but I'll still tell you, just incase. My mom and dad will be here soon, so just tell them we were celebrating and she will heal us."

He looked at me, confused "How are you so sure they will be here soon?" I smiled, even though he couldn't see my face, as I was face down on the living room couch, he could tell I was smiling "I am pretty sure we caused a big enough commotion to require the elders to intervene. How can my parents not know what we did?"

The door to the house suddenly slammed open and the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness was my mom screaming "GU YUE KAI NEM!"

I woke up quite a while later and blinked my eyes. "What happened? Ouch! What was- Oh right! I went to wrestle a literal thousand beast King with only 1 rank 1 Gu master and two mortals! That was quite irresponsible and suicidal of me! We could have all died! Better be more careful next time! Anyway, how is brother Jack?"

I went through the entire argument on my own and stunned my mother into silence. She couldn't even utter a single word, just "I-I... Y-you! Aaaaaaaahhh!"

She let out a mad yell and left the room. My dad couldn't stop laughing and patted my back in amusement. "Hahahaha! Son, you are truly something else! You have made me prouder than any father has ever been! To think my C grade boy went out and hunted down a rabid brown boar with the assistance of only 2 mortals! My friends kept congratulating me on having such a heroic son the entire day! Keep up the good work!"

I laughed as well and said "Thanks for the complements, but, seriously, how is Jack?" My dad stopped laughing slowly and said "He is fine. He is extremely exhausted, but his physical injuries are almost nonexistent. Unlike you! You had torn muscles all over your hands, forearm, arms and torso! Did you actually wrestle that thing?"

I smirked with a cocky grin and said "I did better than that! I punched it's nose to wake it up and then it got so angry it burst a blood vessel in it's eye and charged at me. I managed to dodge it's attack, but it charged at me again! I knew dodging would do nothing and that it was too fast for brother Jack's sluggish swings to hit it, so I could only do 1 thing! Make sure it was so firmly fixed in place Jack couldn't miss! And that is what I did! I stood still and caught it's tusks as it tried to completely pierce through me with them and kill me!

Just touching them would kill me, so I used my bronze skin Gu to defend my self and bang! I caught the bastard by the tusks and held firm! My brother struck down his sword with all of his might and..." I rambled on for a while.

"But, sadly, most of the Gus' ran away and we could only catch 2 Gu worms, its brown and white boar strength Gu. Sigh! I wish I could have caught that healing Gu! it would have been extremely useful, but we were too tired after the battle!"

The entire class sat around me as I told the tale of how we hunted down the thousand beast King.

These kids wanted to hear the epic tale right from their classmate. They even canceled the lesson, so I could tell my story. From that day on, the class president became the symbol of absolute authority. Who would challenge a guy strong and mad enough to try to stop a fucking pissed rabid brown boar's charge using his hands?

Chi Shan is probably cowering in his shoes and trembling at the thought of our impeding battle! I'll beat the shit out of him and come out on top! Our last battle ended in a draw. I was held back by my body's age back then!

Now I am much older and my body has developed to the extreme! The chump knows he doesn't stand a chance and is avoiding me in fear of losing his reputation as the strong-man of Gu Yue.

"That is the entire story! From start to finish! What happened afterwards... Well, you all saw the small corpse hill piled up in front of my parents house my brother dragged in!"

The dumb children stared at me in amazement. The only ones ignoring me were the other member of the 5 rising stars: Mo Bei, Chi Cheng and Fang Zhang and Yuan. Fang Yuan just didn't care and was scheming something, the other 3 were jealous of me. I could see the look of jealous on their faces as I smugly stared down at them.

"Can we get back to class now? I want to learn what these beast phantoms are in more detail." My classmates left me alone and walked back to their desks. The academy elder was all smiles as he looked at the enthusiastic new generation. My fame spread to all corners of Gu Yue and even to other clans like Bai and Xiong. Xiong Li will probably be knocking on my door soon to fight me for the top!

The teacher was explaining were how beast phantoms worked during the lesson and he used my two boar strength Gus' as an example, so so my classmates couldn't take it anymore and began asking questions about my adventure and I told the story because the academy elder insisted on it.

I had many hidden objects for telling this story, but reputation is also useful. Reputation Gu can help cross an abyss! But, unlike the sun son of Ren Zu, I don't need a shitty reputation to cross over the abyss!
