4 Celestial Points

"How do I contact you?" He asked, a bit confused.

'Please think of a question, and I will answer it if I can,' the female voice responded almost immediately.

"Like this, huh?" Alan asked out loud again. But this time, he noticed that his voice was much different from before. It was a bit softer tone than the one he was used to.

The female voice soon spoke in his mind again, 'No. Think it, Master.'

'Is that so? Then the first thing is that you better stop reading my mind,' Alan spoke in his mind abruptly.

'…How did you do that?' The female voice asked after hesitating for just a bit of milli-second.

'Really? What are you talking about? You are asking about how I know speaking in mind or preventing you from reading my thoughts?' Alan wondered with an amused look.

'You can't follow my two-layered thoughts. I am guessing that the Celestial Immortal did that to give me my privacy and put him in my good books. He should know what happens to those who are on my hit list.'

'Also, your Master, the Celestial Immortal, said that you were an automated system designed to help me so I can tweak you according to my wishes. My first order is for you to stop reading my thoughts. And from this little stunt, I see that you aren't like a program. You are most likely a Spirit who has been captured by Celestial Immortal and put in me to ensure I complete his task, right?'

The spirit inside him stayed silent at that accusation.

Alan grew more confident of his guess and further added, 'Your silence is all the answer I need. However, I also know that I can't permanently sabotage you. You are designed to help me, after all. It would make more sense to use you to defeat Nie Li, which I will do, by the way.'

'No more comments?'

'C'mon, you can speak now. It's time to plan our next move.'

This sentence was actually a trap. If the spirit inside him spoke anything, Alan would have immediately realized that the Celestial Immortal was lying and that this automated system would actually apply his suggestions.

Alan seemed satisfied with this stunt.

He soon spoke aloud, "From now on, I will call you Zila. And you should read my thoughts after I call you Zila in my head."

'How can I know if you calling out to me in your head if I can't read your thoughts? Also, are you really naming me after that feline creature you sheltered in your previous world? Are you kidding me?!' Zila seemed a bit mad about the name.

Zila didn't know, but she dodged another bullet. If she had responded yes to Alan's earlier suggestion to respond when he calls out to her in his head, she would have fallen for his second trap. But apparently, she was genuine enough for Alan to trust her now.

"Hmm. So you also have access to my memories of my past life. Meh. That's not nice. Should I ask you to forget it? Wait. That shouldn't matter. Anyway, give me a brief introduction of your abilities, Zila," Alan spoke seriously.

"Got it, Master. Please say 'Status' or just think of it in your mind," Zila advised him.

Alan thought 'Status' in his mind, and suddenly a blue screen appeared ahead of him. Now, he had played enough games to know what this meant.

"What are Celestial Points?" This was the only part Alan couldn't understand.

'Celestial Points are unique to the Master, and you can use them to acquire available to the system. You can acquire the Cultivation Techniques, Inscription Patters, Alchemy Techniques, Heavenly Energy, Power of a Law, Demon Spirits, and Cultivation Realm available in the system. But let me warn you, this allows you to reach just two levels below the Celestial Immortal. But well, you will still be like a God in this realm and yours.'

"I will be the judge of that. But how do I acquire the Celestial Points?"

'To acquire the Celestial Points, you need to convert your personal wealth into the Celestial Points, seduce women with high points (Charm), and lastly, destroy Nie Li's mentality,' Zila soon finished explaining everything related to Celestial Points to Alan.

"Seducing beautiful women earns me Celestial Points? Wow. Your Master does know what I like," Alan seemed quite amused at this situation.

"But in any case, destroying Nie Li's mentality will let me earn Celestial Points? I am guessing it won't be simple otherwise, your Master won't have chosen one of the best lawyers in California. This guy should be a tough nut to crack."

"Alright. Enough about that. Could you show me the Shopping Mall, Zila? I need to see what I can acquire by gathering enough points."

Alan decided to take a look at the Cultivation Techniques, Inscription Patterns, and Alchemy Techniques in the system. He let out a sigh as all of them required nearly thousand points, while he had a measly 100 points.

He soon stood in front of a mirror and stared at his appearance. He had an idea to use these hundred points on the only thing he could.

"Convert the hundred Celestial Points to charm."

'You seem to be wasting it. I suggest you save it and use it in a more urgent situation.'

"It's an investment. But I don't suppose you will get that. So, just do as you are told, alright?"

Zila soon did as Alan had ordered.

Alan's face stiffens up slightly before he felt a sharp agony all across his face, which quickly travelled to the rest of his body.

After nearly three seconds later, Alan whispered, "Show me the Status, Zila. And I hope there has been some change!"

Zila did as she was ordered.
