Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me-Chapter 3: Excuses

--- Chapter 3 ---

Baek Ain stared at Ya Fei with an overwhelmed look, peeking into his hand and seeing the piece of red cloth that was supposedly her panties.

'I don't know if I was lucky or not.' He was speechless inside because the Sign-In reward was so fucking random.

Breathing calmly, Baek Ain bent his body to 90 degrees and shouted, "I-It's a misunderstanding, lady!"

"I was lost in this place and accidentally found this cloth *cough!* lying in the garden."

Baek Ain isn't lying because the system technically and accidentally gives him Ya Fei's panties from the garden's sign-in.

"H-Hand it over first." Yafei stretched her slender hand to him.

Baek Ain nodded and quietly gave the red cloth to Ya Fei, retreating a few feet away from her. Ye Fei inspected the red panties and faked a cough.

"Ehem."

There is no mistake.

This red cloth is hers.

Even though Ya Fei is a dignified businesswoman, she never experienced something like this. Well, no one would dare to lay their hand on her body.

She looked at the obviously clueless teenager and believed he wasn't lying because, with his 7th Stars Dou Disciple Cultivation, he shouldn't be able to pass through the Auction House's defense. More so, sneaking into her room.

How embarrassing, The Miteer Auction House was "actually." broken in by someone.

"Um, lady. Can I leave?" Beak Ain suddenly asked, portraying a terrified mob character.

"Go. Don't ever show your face again." Yafei replied calmly. She was kind for letting him go, as other people will get eliminated upon doing something like this.

Baek Ain hurriedly ran away from the garden, but Ya Fei suddenly frowned when seeing his well-developed arm and back. Those aren't something stray youngsters should have.

"Wait." Her voice echoed in the garden.

Baek Ain's steps halted abruptly.

"If you ever told someone about this matter. I'll send someone to eliminate you. Understand?"

"Y-Yes."

"Also, what's your name?"

"I-It's Baek Ain."

'Hmm? What a unique name.' Yafei's blue eyes brightened in curiosity.

"You can go now."

Unknown to Baek Ain, he has made quite a unique impression in Ya Fei's mind. Their first meeting is somewhat hard to forget and memorable.

"Shadow Guard, watch that kid for me. He might have potential." Yafei said while storing the panties back in her storage ring.

"Yes, my lady." A black shadow followed Baek Ain.

...

...

As Ya Fei let him away, Baek Ain hurriedly escaped from the garden and stepped away from the Auction House. He sighed inside and felt someone following him.

It was a gut feeling, but he trusted it.

'Open map.'

'Aih, that woman...' Baek Ain is staring at the thin air for other people.

Nevertheless, Beak Ain could see a glowing blue dot on the system's map, which alarmed his survival instinct. This guy is hidden from the naked eye as he couldn't see nor sense him.

He now had to keep some secrets while training himself.

Out of all places, why!

The only safe location to use the Sign-In system caused this event.

Baek Ain released another sigh and mumbled, "Whatever, Let's just ignore him..."

And another week went on quickly.

Baek Ain is training on the back of the mountain, punching a hardwood to gather heat in his body. It's a training method he cultivated through his new fused skill.

His hand is bloody but firmer and filled with Dou Qi than before.

[Name: Baek Ain]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 14(Irrelevant)]

[Blessings: The Golden Crow & White Tiger]

[Innate Skills: Breathing(D+), Synthesize(B), Soul Protection(Unknown)]

[Skills: Dash(C), Rock-like Body(D), Energy Circulation(D), Energy Control(D+), Energy Blast(E), Close Quarter Combat/CQC(B+), Blade Mastery(C)]

[Cultivation: 9 Stars Dou Disciple]

[Martial Techniques: Frog Leap Kicks, Willow Tree Muscle, Rock Fist]

It's Baek Ain's Status after two weeks.

First of all, the Blessing's Section is a new part once Baek Ain tries to test his Dou Qi attribute with the arrogant young master of his. He discovered pure fire, metal, earth, water, and wood attributes.

Yes, he possessed all the fundamental elements.

The reason behind it is Soul Protection(Unknown), which seemed to make his soul stronger than ever. The pure fire and metal elements were coming from the tattoo's blessing.

The same tattoo that appeared on his chest before his first death.

[The Golden Crow and White Tiger's Blessings]

[Effect: Fire Affinity and Metal Affinity +200%, Resistance to Fire-Attribute Attacks and Resilient Cutlass Physique]

Still, the biggest shock for Baek Ain's improvement is his Innate Skill: Breathing.

This skill effect is miraculous.

After getting to D+ grade, The Breathing Skill allowed Baek Ain to adapt to any environment because it forced him to breathe properly. His body changed vastly in just two weeks, becoming more and more suitable for training Dou Qi.

In no time, Baek Ain will purge all impurities and achieve a perfect body to become stronger.

As for synthesizing, Beak Ain used it every time he gained a new skill and constructed a new one. It's very apparent from his Status Page, especially with CQC Skill.

BRAK!

The hardwood is breaking apart, falling to the ground, and causing dust to fly everywhere.

[Ding! Rock-like body has advanced to D+ Grade]

Returning to his small house, Baek Ain noticed the shadow guard Ya Fei placed on him moving away. He shook his head and cleaned his wound, wrapping a clean cloth around it.

[Ding! You have accumulated Pain Resistance(F)]

Crack!

Baek Ain felt a surge of energy cracking his bones and immediately meditated on the floor. He gritted his teeth and used Energy Control to spread this immense Dou Qi.

[You have reached 1 Star Dou Practitioner]

Beak Ain opened his and sensed the growing Dou Qi, smiling because all that hard work was paying off. But then a realization hit him hard because he didn't have Cultivation Art to refine his energy.

He's self-taught himself by using several novel references.

It's rough, but he is somehow able to do it.

"Ugh, what should I do?" Beak Ain is in a dilemma.

He could have stolen Xiao Yan's spatial ring, where the Alchemist Saint resides, to gain Terminal Blaze/Flame Mantra. And An outstanding Dou Qi Training Method coupled with his Golden Crow's blessing.

Unfortunately, getting to Xiao Yan is impossible right now.

And the Alchemist Saint most likely killed him upon getting the spatial ring.

"What a sad mob life."

[Ding! A mission issued]

[Name: Courting Death with a Spar]

[Objective: Have a spar with Gu Xun'er(0/1)]

[Time Limit: 12 Hours]

[Reward: One-Third of the Record of the Burning World]

"..." Baek Ain.

"Well, shit."

...

...

Gu Xun'er happily hummed while walking along Xiao Yan, staring at him with a lovely gaze. They are going to the market and hoping to get a Monster Core of Wood Element Beast.

'I could get the monster core easily, but spending time with Big Brother Xiao Yan is fun.' Gu Xun'er thought to herself.

When they arrived at a quiet street, a young man of their age suddenly appeared before them.

"Xiao Xun'er! I challenged you to a spar!"

Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er frowned, 'who the hell is this guy?'

Xiao Yan wouldn't remember a mob character.

However, Gu Xun'er remembered even a nameless lackey like Baek Ain because he used to bully Xiao Yan. Her face instantly turned cold.

"Just ignore him, Xun'er. Let's go." Xiao Yan huffed confidently, knowing this guy isn't worth their time.

Then, a green gem appeared on the young man's hand.

"If you agree, I'll give you this wood element beast core." It's a 1-star beast core with the wood element, which is what Xiao Yan needed to refine medicine with his teacher's help.

"I only want to spar." Baek Ain lifted his hand helplessly. "There is no ulterior motive or anything."

He wasted his hard-earned money on this core, so Gu Xun'er. Please accept this spar's request.

"Xiao Ge, I'll do it." Gu Xun'er walked forward.

Xiao Yan knew she was strong and couldn't help but pity this random guy on the street. 'Is he trying to attract Xun'er? No, Xun'er wouldn't be interested in this plain-looking guy.' He thought while crossing his arm.

Baek Ain smiled and said, "Thank you."

Baek Ain and Gu Xun'er stood against each other with a 10-meter gap, observing the opponent differently.

Gu Xun'er thought Baek Ain was weak.

Meanwhile, Baek Ain observed her with a calm gaze.

Xiao Yan posed as the referee and shouted, "Start!"
