Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 9 System Silence? Rudy's Negative First Impression of Allen

Allen's face fell. His "Pseudo-Immortal Body" skill, which only lasted 6 minutes, had a cooldown of 800 days. Considering that a year in the Musou Rebirth world is about 300 days, it would take more than 2 years.

If the healing spell level increases in the future, it will be able to heal severed limbs, but the corresponding mana consumption will also continue to increase, so the skill duration will need to be shortened further.

Barbarian King unleashing his ultimate?

Allen strongly suspected that the system was messing with him.

Last night's [6] is irrefutable proof.

How could this be?

[The healing spell rune slots are provided by the system for the host to recover their status after battle. As for continuously engaging in battle, that's only in desperate situations. And in a world of peace where you can't survive a near-death experience, what kind of near-death situation would you have to grind every day?]

[Furthermore, the host might consider that if this magic rune can be used at will, and if one obtains an Emperor-level or God-level healing magic rune in the future, wouldn't that be equivalent to solidifying the demon race's ability to be immortal?]

Add to that Orsteed's increased defensive power after his Dragon Saint Aura level is raised, and you might as well call yourself a cockroach instead of Allen. Just give up and beat the game; nobody will pose any threat to you.

Allen spat out a mouthful of saliva and smeared the system's handwriting, which had suddenly appeared to join the fun, on the ground.

"Magic above the Emperor level is based on massive magic power consumption and lengthy incantation process. Since it has lost its practical significance, no one uses it at all, right?"

I haven't seen anyone use any god-level healing spells in the main text, so who am I supposed to ask to shake hands and inscribe magic runes on me?

"Instead of spending your time explaining magic runes to me, you might as well tell me how to increase the reserves of Dragon Saint Battle Qi."

As you know, in its current nascent stage, it can only squeeze out a few strands of Dragon Saint Battle Qi to dilute into my original Battle Qi to improve its quality.

[Contact Orr]

The handwriting suddenly became disordered for a moment, and just as it was about to solidify, it disintegrated in mid-air.

Allen raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"system?"

No more writing was produced.

Allen paused for a moment, then frowned and muttered to himself.

"Ever since I came into contact with Luo Qixi, the system has been exhibiting a strange sense of excitement, popping up to interact with me from time to time... This has never happened before, and now it has disappeared inexplicably."

"If it really is a problem with the phone, it's like there's no signal."

"However, the sword skill level and rating updates are always timely; we haven't encountered this situation of no signal before."

"strangeness."

"Is it rejection from the world? The limitations of the cheat system? Or is it a bad cell phone signal? Or is there not enough memory?"

"The information is insufficient, making it difficult to judge. However, the answer to the previous question has already been given: contact with Orsteed's Dragon Saint Fighting Aura is derived from the Dragon God Style, so it can be inferred that I need to learn the Dragon God Style from Orsteed."

"It's too early to go see Boss Long now. Let me develop a bit more. What if he's in a good mood and opens his heart to me? I'm too weak to even be worthy of bowing down and becoming his underling."

"As for the maximum duration of the healing spell rune that can continuously activate 'Pseudo-Undying Body,' it is 6 minutes and 36 seconds, requiring an 800-day cooldown to recover mana. Based on the combat experience of PVP in this world, life and death are basically decided within a few moves."

In other words, spending 120 days driving for 1 minute, or 60 days being a "real man" for 30 seconds, is a more reasonable allocation. Of course, this only applies to all-out, life-or-death battles.

"As for normal combat, the intermittent recovery during breathing breaks or taunting time is sufficient for both mana depletion and healing effects."

Furthermore, they can feign weakness to exploit an information gap, deliberately revealing weaknesses to ambush the enemy using the Northern God Style or the Water God Style.

Overall, it's a decent upgrade-based cheat system. Looks like I'm not destined to be an invincible protagonist.

Allen stopped muttering to himself.

A pause, a silence.

The system smoke and dust still did not surface.

He raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked again.

"system?"

The system did not respond.

Allen squinted, then looked up at the sky.

"."

"So, next, I should meet Paul and persuade him to take me in. To participate in the big event of no job, integrating into Paul's family like Roxie did is the best option."

"Find a way to gain Rudeus's favor. This shouldn't be too difficult. Although it's not as practical as the healing spell rune, it's always good to have more skills."

*Clang!* The sword is sheathed.

Continue on the road.

The sun sets in the west, in the village of Bouyena.

The sunset painted the white walls of the village knight's mansion—the Greirat family's house—bright red.

Just like Lilia's face.

Her red hair was neatly tied back, with her bangs framing her face, making it look very smooth.

Dressed impeccably in a black and white maid's uniform, she stood behind a second-floor window, gazing quietly at the courtyard below through her glasses.

Following her gaze, in the setting sun, three people—two adults and one child—stood in an unusually spacious rural courtyard not far away.

A beautiful blonde lady and a handsome, tall, and robust gentleman are scolding a silent child with their backs to them.

It was originally a very harmonious scene.

If we ignore the fact that the master was using his body as cover, in front of his son, he was still placing one hand on the white dress behind his wife, letting it wander aimlessly.

"The master and mistress have a very good relationship; they're always full of energy and passionate every night. I could hear it all clearly."

Thinking of this, Lilia subconsciously touched behind her, her eyelids drooping.

in the courtyard.

"Rudy, we clearly agreed last night to spar this afternoon to check on your recent self-study progress. Why did you go out and only come back now?"

Rudius lowered his head, his eyes looking awkwardly at the grass on the ground beside him, and scratched his face with a crooked mouth.

"Well, it's because I was scouting the terrain and investigating the plants, and I got completely absorbed in it. Haha, cough cough."

Paul squinted at Rudius, increasing the pressure on his hand. Senis, who was standing beside him and had come to mediate, had a slight twitch of the veins on her forehead, but with Rudius still in front of her, she could only keep smiling and not get angry, her face burning brighter and brighter.

I've completely forgotten the conciliatory words I just thought of.

Paul spoke in a low voice.

"Rudy, tell the truth."

Upon hearing this, Rudy quickly straightened his posture, tucked his botanical dictionary under his armpit, and bowed respectfully before replying.

"Although I did go to scout the terrain and investigate the plants, the thought that arriving late would mean I wouldn't have to spar with my father did cross my mind. I'm sorry!"

Paul smiled and nodded, then turned to Senis and winked.

"Then honey, go cook. Rudy and I need to keep our manly promise, cough! cough cough cough!!"

Senis reached out and patted the back of her crumpled white loungewear, then gave Paul a forced, insincere elbow.

She then crouched down and spoke gently to Rudy, who was looking at her dress with the clear eyes of a child.

"You don't have to practice swordsmanship with Dad next time, but you have to tell me in advance. I was so worried about you when you didn't come home this afternoon."

"What?! Rudy practices swordsmanship willingly!"

"Honey, you have absolutely no idea what's going on!"

Rudy looked at his parents, whose four hands were intertwined and twisting, seemingly arguing but actually flirting, and gave them a wry, speechless expression.

Feeding an old married couple who's been burning with passion—be mindful of the consequences!

Soon after, the two finished flirting and, once Senis was out of sight, Paul looked away from his wife's hips and leaned down to whisper in Rudy's ear.

"Hey, tell me the truth, did you go out and lift up girls' skirts?"

Don't judge others by your own standards, Mr. Paul!

The 34-year-old NEET, who was roaring inwardly but outwardly grinning like a child, suddenly realized something.

That felt like a venomous snake crawling on my body.

What's going on? This feeling... it's a gaze, someone is watching me, and it's the kind of scrutinizing gaze I hated most in my past life.

Instinct compelled him to ignore Paul's subsequent teasing and turn to look at the courtyard gate not far to his side.

A middle school student with terrifyingly long eyebrows and a muscular build was staring at him.

No, it wasn't terrifying. He just had a pair of sharp, inverted V-shaped eyebrows that looked a bit too sharp, and his hair was disheveled and slicked back, giving him a sharp aura.

But Rudy is generally not good at dealing with people with this kind of imposing presence.

His subconscious thought immediately brought to mind the group of school bullies who had wronged him.

The bully was stroking his chin, watching him with great interest.

Their eyes met.

The bully raised an eyebrow, as if he had seen something interesting, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
