I Created a Protagonist Sect: My Programmer Job is Super Overpowered

Chapter 5: Main Character Profile

Chen Mo walks out of the sect building and stretches his muscles.

It's already been a week since he moved into this world and there were still things he didn't know.

He had used the past days to familiarize himself with his new abilities and tried to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm but to no avail.

Although he had some qi in his body, he was only at the Qi Gathering stage and couldn't utilize it fully.

Although he could manipulate Qi for sometime by manipulating infonts, it wasn't a long-time solution and was exhausting.

He had even used the collected infonts of the Mo brothers to generate new spiritual roots for his body but it didn't work.

'It seems that my body has somehow changed and doesn't support spiritual roots. Now that I think about it, the original Chen Mo had high level spiritual roots and was considered a genius, maybe that's why my body rejects these low-level spiritual roots, it's like using a motorcycle engine to power an airplane'

He thought to himself silently as he walked out to the nearest town. He thought that maybe he'd find a Foundation Establishment cultivator and use their data to increase his cultivation before he finds someone with a high-level spiritual root to restore his. Although he had Qi in his body, he couldn't replenish it if it was used up since he lacked spiritual roots.

"Hey, is that Chen Mo"

"Stop pointing, I heard that he killed Heavenly Palace disciples for looking at him"

"Really?"

'I'm really standing out; I didn't expect there to be so much rumors about me. Although I'm confident in dealing with the Heavenly Palace given enough time, I can't do anything if they ambush me suddenly. I need to build a force. Since the original Chen Mo wanted to restore his sect, I'll help him fulfil his goal as thanks for letting me accomplish my dream of all creation'

Chen Mo strode down the busy street, lost in contemplation. His brows were knitted together and he stared straight ahead, oblivious to the swarm of people around him. He was replaying his earlier confrontation with people of the Heavenly Palace over and over in his mind, trying to analyze their intentions for attacking him.

'The Heavenly Palace is a rank one sect while the Chen sect is only rank nine, the lowest in the continent. What grudge could they possibly have with the Heavenly Palace, I smell a conspiracy'

Chen Mo rubbed his chin as he walked, mulling over the possible interpretations.

Suddenly, his shoulder collided with something and Chen Mo stumbled, abruptly snatched from his reverie. He had bumped right into a sickly-looking young girl, who was now teetering unsteadily on the sidewalk. Chen Mo's eyes went wide and he reached out, grabbing the young girl's arm to steady her before she could fall.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry, I was distracted and didn't see you," Chen Mo apologized profusely, flushing red with embarrassment.

'This is bad, I can't believe I let my guard down like that, if that was an assassin, I'd already be dead by now'

Chen Mo thought, shaking his head ruefully at his carelessness. He resolved to pay better attention to his surroundings rather than getting so lost in thought next time.

Chen Mo's brow furrowed in concern as he studied the girl's face. Her skin was an unhealthy pallor and dark circles ringed her sunken, glassy eyes. She showed no awareness of her surroundings, letting out only a faint, raspy breath. Her stick-thin arms hung weakly at her sides.

"Miss? Are you alright?" Chen Mo asked with growing alarm. The girl made no response, her unfocused gaze staring right through him. He waved a hand in front of her face but she did not track the movement at all.

Chen Mo's pulse quickened as he grasped the girl's shoulder and gave her a gentle shake. Still no reaction. Her body swayed limply in his grip like a rag doll. Panic rising in his chest, Chen Mo lowered the unresponsive girl to the sidewalk.

[

Name: Mei Ling, Yin Mei (Fox Demon Possession)

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment 2nd Rank

Information: Princess of the demon clan, due to her pure yang body, the elders decided to use her as a sacrifice to revive the demon ancestor. Her maid used her life to save her and she managed to escape. Due to the overuse of demon possession to escape the pursuit of the demon clan, the yang in her body is corroding her heart and will die within twenty-four hours.

'A demon princess huh, isn't this a main character profile? She only looks about sixteen years old and is already at the second stage of Foundation Establishment, she must possess high-grade spiritual roots. I must get her to my side'

Chen Mo thought as he picked up the girl and took her back to his sect.

...

Two hours later.

Chen Mo stood anxiously at the side of the bed, looking down at the girl lying there. Her face was flushed and damp with sweat, her breathing ragged.

Chen Mo thought that he had caught a rare catch this time, not only did he upgrade his cultivation to the 2nd stage of Foundation Establishment, but also got data on a superior grade spiritual root. Now he could recover his spiritual energy if it was ever depleted.

Spiritual roots are ranked from, Low, Medium, High, Superior, Sacred, Divine, and Heavenly grade. The demon princess had a superior grade spiritual root and Chen Mo was able to analyze it and not only repair his high-grade spiritual root, but also upgrade it to superior grade.

The girl stirred, turning her glassy eyes towards him. "So tired...So hot..." she murmured. "And cold..."

Chen Mo tucked the blankets more tightly around her shivering body. He then stretched his hand out and placed it on her forehead, now that she had given him such a huge gift, he naturally had to return the favor.

"Try to rest," he said, keeping his voice low and soothing. "You need to regain your strength."

She gave a weak nod and closed her eyes once more.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand dramatically and a black marble necklace materialized in his hand.

[Yang Suppressing Necklace – Low level spiritual artifact] – Can suppress yang attribute.

As he leaned over to fasten the necklace, the girl startled awake, her warrior instincts taking over. In an instant, she had a sword pressed to Chen Mo's throat, her eyes wild.

Chen Mo froze, unwilling to make any move that could end with a slit neck. "It's me," he said softly.

'Dammit, I used all my spiritual energy to repair my spiritual roots and to create that necklace, if she was to attack me right now, I wouldn't be able to protect himself'

Chen Mo thought as he looked at the girl's status through his [Existence] skill. He then realized what was going on and a huge smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be so agitated little fox demon"

He talked smugly as he pushed away the sword from his throat. That's right, the fox demon seemed to have possessed the girl's body thinking she was in danger when she detected the yang suppressing necklace.

'If that's the case, all I have to do is bluff my way out of this situation' he thought as he smiled widely.

"How did you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Mo pulled her to him and hugged her tightly, "Yin Mei, it's really you, I thought I'd never see you again"

"How do you know my name?"

"You really don't remember? Well, I can't blame you it's really been a long time, I thought you had already entered the cycle of reincarnation"

'From what I saw when I used [Existence] on her, she seems to have lost her memory when she became a ghost, since no one else knows her real name, she'll believe me when I say I knew her'

"You're sick now, go back to sleep. I'll explain everything to you when you get better"

"Okay..." she responded softly as he slowly placed, he back on the bed and she drifted to sleep. It seems she was really tired.

'Phew, that was close. Good thing my survival instincts kicked in'
