Jiang Liu: I'm an RNG God

Jiang Liu had originally wanted to practice flying in the 1-1 storyline, but before he could set off, something strange suddenly happened outside the game.

A swelling sensation came from three inches below his dantian, as though something were constantly pouring water into him—pouring and pouring, on the verge of bursting him open.

Not again, right?

Jiang Liu's face turned green. He hurriedly exited Cultivation Era, stealthily glanced at the Head Teacher, who was cultivating, then quietly slipped out of the classroom.

The moment he left the classroom, he headed straight for the restroom.

He opened the floodgates.

As he relieved himself, he wondered what was going on. Why was so much water suddenly appearing inside his body out of nowhere?

Could the side effect of a Supreme Water Spiritual Root be frequent urination?

That couldn't be right. If that were the case, who would even want a Supreme Water Spiritual Root?

Should he check the forums?

Jiang Liu thought to himself. After Cultivation Era's fourth server opened, the game's built-in player forum had also opened to the fourth server. Its expertise and level of discussion far surpassed online rumors; it could provide almost any intelligence related to Cultivation Era.

[Why do I have frequent, urgent, and incomplete urination after obtaining a Supreme Water Spiritual Root?]

No, no, that was way too embarrassing. Forum posts required real-name registration. He might as well search for existing posts.

Jiang Liu suppressed the urge to make a post seeking answers. Cultivation Era had descended two years ago, and quite a few people possessed Supreme Water Spiritual Roots. Surely someone had experienced the same thing as him. Wouldn't he find out once he looked it up?

Just as Jiang Liu figured out what to do, a figure suddenly entered the restroom and stared fixedly at him.

"What's going on with you?"

The Head Teacher stood beside Jiang Liu, looking down at Jiang Liu's surging torrent with a stunned expression. "You really live up to your name!"

Jiang Liu, who had been lost in thought, jumped at the Head Teacher's sudden appearance. "Sir, weren't you cultivating?"

"I heard something and saw you sneak out, so I thought you were trying to skip class."

The Head Teacher casually replied, his face full of disbelief. "What is this? You're putting out almost as much water as a faucet. Can't finish peeing?"

"I don't know either."

Jiang Liu smiled bitterly. After hesitating for two seconds, he truthfully said, "I pulled a Supreme Water Spiritual Root from the Permanent Pool, and then I became like this."

With the 0.1% discount Welfare Version of Cultivation Era in hand, he hadn't wanted to draw too much attention. He had only wanted to get rich quietly.

But after arriving in the classroom today and seeing that small pile of Spirit Stones on the desk, he changed his mind.

The school's resources were too abundant!

He wanted them!

How could he obtain the school's resources?

Cultivation level and aptitude were the simplest methods.

I'm done hiding. I'm coming clean—I have a Supreme Water Spiritual Root, and in the future, I'll have all five Supreme Spiritual Roots!

Come raise me!

"A Supreme Water Spiritual Root?!"

The Head Teacher's voice instantly rose several decibels. He stared at Jiang Liu in shock, his eyes filled with suspicion. "You got it from a card pull? Where did you get the Spirit Stones to pull cards?"

One pull cost thirteen Spirit Stones, after all. Two days of Daily Sign-in only gave ten Spirit Stones!

"My Grandpa gave me his sign-in Spirit Stones too."

Jiang Liu spoke calmly. "I saved up for one pull, then hit the jackpot on my first try."

Don't ask. If you asked, he had simply hit the jackpot on his first try.

He had already figured out how to hide the 0.1% discount Welfare Version of Cultivation Era.

Just say he was lucky. If anyone asked, he was lucky.

In the game, he was the king of bad luck. He hit pity on card pulls, and he couldn't even use the randomly obtained artifacts and cultivation techniques from limited-time bundles.

In reality, he was the king of luck. He hit the jackpot on his first pull, and limited-time bundles always gave the best rewards.

Why did that feel a little sad?

"Hit the jackpot on his first try."

The Head Teacher was stunned. He simply couldn't imagine what it meant to hit on the first try with a 0.1% chance.

In any case, he was green with envy.

Though he was the Head Teacher, he was also an utterly ordinary Three-Element Mixed Spirit Root cultivator. One of his students had pulled a Supreme Water Spiritual Root in one go. He was happy, but he was also incredibly jealous.

That was changing one's fate against the heavens!

"You're really lucky."

The Head Teacher said sourly, "That underachiever who used to be addicted to games is about to soar into the sky. When are you going to take care of your teacher? Your teacher's treated you pretty well."

"Could you stop staring at me first?"

Jiang Liu's face darkened. "I'm so embarrassed that the stream has stopped."

"Wait a moment. Don't finish yet."

As the Head Teacher spoke, he took out his phone, turned around, and left the restroom.

"Dean, a student in my class has a Supreme Water Spiritual Root. Really, he's in the senior-year restroom."

"Why's he in the restroom? Is he putting on a show?"

Jiang Liu: "..."

Two minutes later.

Jiang Liu expressionlessly released the water inside his body.

Beside him, the Head Teacher and Dean of Students watched with fascinated expressions.

Dean of Students: "Are all Supreme Water Spiritual Roots like this?"

Head Teacher: "I don't know either. It seems pretty interesting."

Dean of Students: "Hitting the jackpot on the first try—your luck is heaven-defying. Student, I think highly of you."

Jiang Liu remained expressionless, his heart as still as an ancient well.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Liu was numbly relieving himself.

Beside him.

The Head Teacher, the Dean of Students, and the Principal were observing.

The three of them were over a hundred years old combined. Though they were only curious about the characteristics of a Supreme Water Spiritual Root, Jiang Liu still felt uncomfortable all over.

What could he say?

He had nothing to say.

"Found it, found it."

The Principal, who was over fifty, pushed up his glasses and said to Jiang Liu, "Your Supreme Water Spiritual Root is remodeling your body, something like cleansing your meridians and marrow."

"Think carefully. Didn't the stream go from yellow to clear, getting cleaner and cleaner?"

The changes brought by a Supreme Spiritual Root were earth-shattering. They referred not only to cultivation aptitude, but also bodily aptitude.

After Jiang Liu obtained a Three-Element Mixed Spirit Root, his body had likewise been matched into a Three-Element Mixed Body.

And now.

After obtaining a Supreme Water Spiritual Root, the Three-Element Mixed Body was fundamentally unworthy of it. They were not a proper match.

Therefore.

The Supreme Water Spiritual Root took action, condensing water with water spiritual energy to remodel Jiang Liu's body and replace it with bodily aptitude that matched a Supreme Spiritual Root.

This was not exclusive to Jiang Liu. Everyone who changed from a Mixed Spiritual Root to a Supreme Spiritual Root had to endure it once.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Liu understood. Thinking back, the water had been slightly yellow when he relieved himself that morning, but now it had become nearly transparent.

In other words, the remodeling was almost finished?

That was good, that was good. Peeing a ton at a time—if this happened a few more times, he'd rinse the whole thing raw.

"Not bad, not bad. Your name is Jiang Liu, right, student?"

The Principal looked at Jiang Liu with a kindly smile. "Student Jiang, if you have any difficulties that need resolving, just tell me. The school will do everything in its power to help you solve them!"

As the Principal, he made his position clear. A student with a Supreme Spiritual Root was the treasure of the entire school and had to be protected properly!

"Yes."

Jiang Liu nodded. He glanced at the three of them and hesitantly said, "Three people keep staring at me while I pee. Principal, could you help me deal with that?"
