Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Tiger Girl’s Golden Legend?

”No need for nonsense, I must get the Golden Achievement!!!”

Xu Ran nodded slightly.

[Perfect Cubs]: Blessed Fortune +30 points; Root Bone can be extracted.

This is a good thing indeed.

You see, in Xu Ran’s Root Bone column, there’s only a ”none” character. Meaning he has no Root Bone.

And the Perfect Cubs just happen to make up for Xu Ran’s shortcoming—if his Blessed Fortune is sufficient, he can even extract a Crimson Golden Root Bone!

”Get it. Must get it.”

”Hee hee hee hee hee...”

While thinking, Tiger Girl’s magical tomboy laugh came through. With great strength, she pounced, knocking Xu Ran to the ground.

”Hee hee hee hee hee hee...”

Xu Ran, helpless, rolled over, and while Tiger Girl struggled to get up, quickly ran away and hid behind a group of infants, lying on the ground to hide himself.

Tiger Girl searched everywhere, saw no one, and fretted in place making baby sounds.

Lin Qian and Aunt Chen snickered from a distance.

Mom: ”My little Ran even knows how to play Hide and Seek. Amazing.”

Tiger Girl’s mom gave a thumbs up: ”Clever little genius!”

The other moms nodded repeatedly.

”Look how well he hides. He even knows to lie on the ground, hahaha. Truly a little genius.”

Xu Ran: ”...”

If it wasn’t that little Tiger Girl was too annoying, he wouldn’t be willing to play Hide and Seek, right?

And now that Tiger Girl has learned to walk, she will only become more cat and dog vexing.

He could only hide among the crowd seeking a moment of peace.

However.

What Xu Ran never expected was, at this moment, a prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations: You have completed your first game of Hide and Seek in life, triggering a new skill—Hide and Seek. Through practice, you can advance the progress of Hide and Seek. Once the progress reaches its full value, you can promote to the next sequence. (Promotion Sequence: Hide and Seek—Mysterious Footwork—Invisibility Skill—Time River Erasing Traces)]

[Current Hide and Seek progress: 0/10000...]

”Hmm?????”

Xu Ran was full of question marks.

This works too? Playing Hide and Seek can trigger a Magical Skill?

Worthy of you, system.

Astonished.

Can everything trigger a Magical Skill?

Xu Ran looked thoughtful, while his thoughts shifted to each progression sequence, checking the detailed information.

[Mysterious Footwork]: A clever body technique, you can hide behind your opponent, moving following their shadow. Unless your opponent has overwhelming power, they will find it difficult to detect your presence.

[Invisibility Skill]: Direct invisibility.

[Time River Erasing Traces]: You can erase your traces in the river of time, completely concealing yourself.

”System, you’re kind of defying the natural order.”

Someone, translate what the hell a huge surprise means?

A huge surprise is—Infant Crawl can be upgraded to Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, transforming into a little gecko.

A huge surprise is—Running Fast can upgrade to Lightweight Grass Flying Technique, even to Kunpeng Treasure Skill.

A huge surprise is—Hide and Seek can be upgraded to Mysterious Footwork, to Invisibility Skill, to Time River Erasing Traces...

Xu Ran seemed to gradually understand it all.

It means many things in life can trigger Magical Skills, right?

Then that’s unbeatable.

At this moment, the world opened wide!

”In just one day, triggered two potential heaven-defying Magical Skills. Surely choosing to grab [Celestial Human Form] back then was the right choice. A mere two instances of abduction in front of such a heaven-defying system should only be seen as minor tests.”

”As long as I strive for self-discipline. I can definitely handle it easily.”

”Of course, I can’t let my guard down.”

The danger level of this world is indeed a bit over the top.

He doesn’t know what the Resentful God is but carrying the word ’God’ doesn’t sound easy to deal with.

And in this world with a cultivation system, human traffickers might possess considerable martial force!

What if they have strong martial skills and moreover, a gang?

Can an infant’s Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill and Mysterious Footwork really ensure a safe escape from a formidable adult criminal gang?

Perhaps not!

”So, I must strive hard and be self-disciplined. Grind out more skills. Be fully prepared.”

”I don’t want to narrowly escape. I want to crush those traffickers single-handedly.”

With a system to grind proficiency, not going for speedrun and crush, what a waste!

Crushing is the true path!

Xu Ran’s pitch-black, spirited eyes revealed a glow.

[Current Hide and Seek progress: 2/10000...]

[Current Hide and Seek progress: 3/10000...]

[Current Hide and Seek progress: 4/10000...]

”Keep hiding, reaching 100 points of progress every day... It would only take 100 days to acquire Mysterious Footwork.”

Knowing the rules well, Xu Ran knew it would take 100 days to get Mysterious Footwork.

However.

With Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, with Running Fast, with Hide and Seek, he needn’t worry about wasting time now.

Every day, he would grind this one, grind that one, no more worrying about wasting time.

”Moreover, playing with the kids could easily increase progress! There’s nothing easier than this.”

Xu Ran smiled warmly.

[Current Hide and Seek skill progress: 5/10000......]

He was still hiding.

Given Tiger Girl was just an eight-month-old peanut with limited intelligence, she couldn’t discover his hiding place.

She is just a little one who’s just learned to walk, a small fool.

With limited confidence and some fear, she could only walk five or six steps before crawling back to her mom.

Xu Ran bullying a small child... was so satisfying!

Though each time when Tiger Girl got anxious and teary-eyed,

His mom would pull him out and throw him in front of Tiger Girl, calming her mood.

But he always managed to cunningly dodge out of Tiger Girl’s view, leaving her all anxious.

Progress +1...

Progress +1...

Progress +1...

Progress +1...

By the end of the day.

Aside from going home to eat and sleep, the daily progress of Hide and Seek and Running Fast reached the full value of 100 points.

Today’s task was completed!

...

”Say bye to brother～”

”Say bye to sister～”

Xu Ran’s mom held his little hand, saying goodbye to Tiger Girl and her mom.

Tiger Girl’s big eyes shone brightly at Xu Ran, suddenly her big mouth opened up, revealing a few milk teeth, and laughed tigerishly, silly and dumb.

Xu Ran, lying on mom’s shoulder, waved a little and turned his head slightly.

But at the instant of turning his head.

A strand of golden light suddenly blossomed from Tiger Girl’s chest.

Xu Ran froze: ”What’s that? A golden legend?”

A bit odd, looked again.

However, when Xu Ran focused his gaze, the golden light on Tiger Girl’s chest quickly gathered, eventually disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared...

”Did I see it wrong?”

”Probably not an illusion.”

”Among more than twenty infants, only Tiger Girl is the most unique, tiger-headed, with a lot of strength.”

”And at only seven months old, she could learn to walk out of anger. She must be a gifted fellow.”

Xu Ran made a small mental note...

...

”Home home home. Did baby have fun today?”

”If you had fun, just nod your head.”

Lin Qian brushed against his cheek, seriously asking.

Xu Ran nodded his little head: ”Wow wow wow, really? Baby, do you understand everything?”

Lin Qian was exaggeratedly surprised: ”Come, mom will make you some milk powder to drink.”

Locking the door, placing Xu Ran on the living room sofa, Lin Qian busied herself with preparing food.

Eating well, Xu Ran fell fast asleep.

At nine in the night.

In the stillness of night, a pair of pitch-black, bright eyes opened.

A 90cm shadow lightly flipped down from the cradle, crawling gloomily on the ceiling.

[You diligently practiced Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, progress +100 points, current progress: 200/10000...]

[Current Running Fast progress: 100/10000...]

[Current Hide and Seek progress: 100/10000...]

[Current Qi Blood Value: 201/1000...]

”Perfect.”

”In 100 days, I will reap a bountiful harvest......”
