Talentless, Spiritual grass, and snake behaving like a young master from cultivation novels

"My talent is 0? And what's the use of this information under it?!"

Of course, under Talent stat which was 0 and average was 5, there was information that Thomas can't cultivate.

"Does host want to delete it?"

"Yes! Delete it, but first, tell me how can I enter the path of luck if I can't cultivate?"

"Host, of course, you need a lucky encounter to be able to cultivate!"

"And here I thought that this dream would be something interesting! At this rate, I will wake up before I can even have some fun! Lucid Dreams don't happen so often, you know?"

"Host, you are not dreaming, you transmigrated to this world called htrae."

"Haha, my brain lacks even creativity! How could there be a world called htrae! Isn't it earth backwards?"

Thomas stopped his complaining because a sudden wave of hunger attacked him.

"Wtf! How can I be hungry in my dream? And why did it attack me so suddenly?"

"Host, you are not dreaming, and you are hungry since you spent the first half of your day moving rocks and second by being unconscious, you haven't eaten anything since you appeared here."

"You know that I was moving rocks? So you saw this grandpa too?"

"Host, by grandpa you mean this expert at Golden core stage? Yes, I saw him. I couldn't move, but I was watching everything from the moment I appeared in this cave."

"Ughh, can't I wake up? What, do I need to go searching for food?"

"Host, you are not dreaming, and yes, if you want to eat, you need to search for food."

After confirming that there is no other way, Thomas finally left his starting point.

He saw Jungle filled with rustle's of wild animals, singing of tropical birds, tall tree's, high grass, and dense bushes.

After wondering for a few minutes without seeing anything eatable, he squatted down, reached out his hand; grabbed a handful of grass and started chewing it.

'Fuck it, if there is nothing for me to eat. I will eat some grass, at least my head did a good job and made it quite tasty.'

Delighted that this grass wasn't tasting bad, Thomas started to eat more to fill his stomach.

"SSSS!"

"System, what was that?"

"It's a spiritual grass-eating snake. You are currently eating its supplies for winter when it saw you it was instantly angered thus started hissing at you. Do you want me to translate?"

"Yes! Immediately!"

Soon, Thomas heard a childish voice repeating what the snake said.

"Back off, mere mortal! I'm a SsSpiritual graSsSsS-eating SsSnake, and it's my territory! Brake one of your armSsS and I will let you go!"

'Isn't this snake behaving like a young master from cultivation novels?'

"What should I do now? I thought it was common grass!"

"Owner! I prepared three options for you!

1. Break your arm and go away.

2. Fight to the death, your chances of winning are 10%, even if you win, you will die from poison. Chances of dodging every attack are 1%

3.Grab as much of this grass and run. Chances of successful escape without being poisoned - 70%. "

"Why would I want this grass?"

"This is one of your lucky encounters. This spiritual grass can upgrade your talent from zero to one. This snake is a side effect of it. If there are benefits, there are also risks."

"So to get my talent to 1, I need to risk my life? Shouldn't I at least get an upgrade in cultivation for it?"

"Host, you currently can't cultivate, but if you get this grass, you can achieve QI Gathering step 1 lower phase in three years! It's not something impressive, but it's progress. After all, without it, you won't be able to achieve it, no matter how hard you try."

'I won't spend three years in this dream anyway.'

Even though Thomas and system communicated so long, not even second passed in the real world, it was another bonus that it brought- fast communication.

Thomas decided that since he needed to run anyway, why wouldn't he take with him this almost weightless grass? He picked it up and started running.

Seeing his action, the snake started hissing furiously and chasing after him.

"You, a mortal, want to take away the poSsSsSeSsSsSion of this SsSnake?! I knew that humanSsSs are arrogant, but never expected a mere creature without cultivation to dare behave this way aSsS well!"

"Why does this snake is so slow?"

"He is cultivating his poison, not element upgrading his movement. Besides, the body you are currently in is healthy and was training since a very young age. Host, please, dodge."

'Dodge what?'

Thomas was confused by the sudden change in the topic by the system, but soon he jumped to his left, almost tripping. The snake suddenly shot a poison from its fangs in his direction. In his previous body, he wouldn't be able to dodge it.

His heart skipped a bit.

'I was almost shot by it!'

"You have SsSome skillSsS after all. A normal mortal wouldn't be able to dodge it! Don't worry! I'm already preparing another attack!"

Hearing that he will have to dodge another fatal attack, Thomas was starting doubting himself.

'What if it isn't a dream? As much as I hate to admit it, there was only correct information about me until now. I can't think about it now! Now I need to create a plan to get away successfully!'

When he was thinking about the plan, in his view, just ahead, like a gift straight from heavens log just big enough to block this snake for a good while appeared.

Thomas jumped through it and started running in the direction of his cave,

leaving one cursing spiritual grass-eating snake in the dust.

"Wow! It seems that my luck truly is something. But why was there no danger now?"

"If there is grave danger ahead of you while being chased by an almost unbeatable enemy, you would be called unlucky. As for risk, there was

a chance you won't see this log and trip over."

"Alright! By the way, do you have a name? And how were you able to see cultivation level of this snake?"

"My name is Luke. As long as your enemy cultivation isn't five steps higher than yours I can see it. Do you want to buy this ability?"

"I can buy things from you?"

"As long as you can afford it."

As soon as Luke's voice faded away, a list of items appeared before him and at the end of this list was an icon of a lock.

"What does this LCP means?"

"LCP Life Changer Points, as long as you change someone's life, for example, a beggar will turn into someone with a stable job thanks to you, then you will gain one LCP."

"One life is worth only one point? Doesn't it mean that to buy the ability to see my enemies cultivation three steps higher than me, I need to change three lives?"

"There is always Wheel of fortune if you want to try your luck."

"This dream will probably end before I can change someone's life, now, how do I change my talent from 0 to 1?"

"There is a cultivator needed to help absorb the energy from spiritual grass to change someone's talent, but don't worry, you have me here."

"Alright. What do I need to do?"

"Eat it whole and leave the rest to me."

Thomas listened to Luke, ate everything that was left and soon heard a familiar childish voice giggling.

"Now, you will fall unconscious, so I can help you change your talent without any troubles!"

*Thud*
