Teaming up

Nicks rights himself carefully before looking over at sun wulong "hey so if you try to move you might want to be careful it seems like our bodies have gotten stronger than before so you might use more strength accidentally." Sun wulong sits upright and swings his arm to verify what nick says before nodding in acceptance. "What now?" Sun wulong asked while carefully standing up. Nick rubs his chin in thought "as I see it we could work together to try and survive longer or go our own ways." Nick says shortly. Sun wulong grins "together strong." He says while stretching. Nick is slightly taken back by how quickly sun wulong agrees to team up before he also grins . nick walks over to sun wulong and starts explaining his plan to lie low for as long as possible in the cave and maybe breakthrough in his cultivation while he's at it. Sun wulong listens carefully before telling nick that his plan was similar in short statements as we'll as what jobs he's proficient in which makes nick slightly uncomfortable since even sun wulong only had three jobs blacksmith, inscription, and arrays. After he finishes talking sun wulong looks at nick expectantly as he obviously wants nick to explain his jobs. Nick cautiously looks around "what I'm about to say stays between us unless absolutely necessary understood?" Nick says seriously. Sun wulong looks confused since its just jobs so it shouldn't be to big of a secret ,in the end even though it confused him sun wulong agreed. Nick then went on to list all of his jobs , at first sun wulong was confused then surprised and in the end filled with disbelief before looking at nick like some kind of freak. To be fair this reaction makes perfect sense since even geniuses usually only have three jobs but nick has six which is double the normal amount for geniuses. The reason why geniuses usually only have three jobs instead of a massive amount is because each of those jobs requires resources in order to advance and each advancement usually cost twice the amount of resources as the last not to mention that the rarity of the resources goes in every advancement this the more jobs one has the more money one needs and just to get three jobs to a high level requires enough resources to bankrupt a medium sized clan the amount needed for six would even make massive clans flinch. However the doesn't apply for nick since his system basically allows him to advance his jobs on the first attempt which is enough to make even gods eyes go red with greed.

After a few moments sun wulong calms himself before discussing the details of who will do what with nick. After about twenty minutes they come to an agreement that sun wulong will take care of making the inside of the cave more habitable using his blacksmith knowledge to forge metal walls and thick doors while nick will set up various arrays for defense as well as qi gathering in order to effectively turn the cave into a bunker capable of withstanding a nuke at point blank range while keeping those inside safe. After the plans were made nick and sun wulong separated in order to do their jobs. Nick quickly got used to his new strength and speed before he basically stripping the local area of resources leaving it barren before returning to the cave where he handed over the ones requested by sun wulong for his part which he started on as soon as nick handed over the materials. As each thick metal wall was being made nick was erasing the area inside the mountain to make room for the bunker.
