Chapter 4: System Introduction (1)

'If I guess, the mortal realm would be a normal human limit. Compared to that, my stats are pathetic.' Wei Jun Ruan inwardly analyzed. The mortal limit for the physical stats was twenty. Given that his stats were in single digits and all lower than five, it was a bummer.

'What is the method to increase the stats?' Wei Jun asked the system in his head.

[In the mortal realm you can simply train to increase them]

[Consuming tonics and magical pills is also an option both of which can be found in the shop]

[Another good option would be the refined elixirs that exist in the world]

'I see.' Wei Jun replied to the system's detailed explanation.

'Explain leveling to me.' Wei Jun decided to cover everything before he moved on to the next tabs.

[Leveling can be done by robbing the protagonists of this world of their opportunities]

[The more you rob them, the more level value you will obtain]

'So that's like EXP gain?' Wei Jun comprised the explanation more simply.

[Not quite]

[The gain depends on the level of the opportunity and the level of the protagonist as well]

[If you rob a very low opportunity of a very minor protagonist, you might not get anything at all]

[Also increasing the level is like increasing your power limit]

[Even if the level doesn't increase, your body will grow stronger slightly]

'Which means the level show is just an indication of my natural growth from the protagonists.' Wei Jun arrived at the conclusion regarding the leveling system. His stats and skills aside, his level would only increase when he robs a protagonist.

'Then, why would I need to increase my level? I can simply increase my stats through cultivation.' The simplicity of levels begged another question so Wei Jun made sure to ask.

[That is because if you don't level, you won't be able to increase your stats and grow stronger from a certain point]

'In other words, a bottleneck.' Wei Jun simplified the explanation.

[Exactly]

'Tell me the limit I will reach before I would need to increase my level.' Wei Jun next asked to know his limitations before he needed to get involved with the protagonist.

[All stats at 20 and as for cultivation, the peak stage of the first stage, the Qi sense realm, would be your limit]

'I see. That means the cultivation stage isn't important for now so I will leave it for later.' Feeling that he had covered everything in the stats tab, he moved on to the next tabs.

[Skills: None]

'I know many skills yet why aren't they here?' Wei Jun asked inwardly as he knew of many practical skills yet none of them were here.

[The only skills to appear here are cultivation-related skills or skills that the host will obtain from the protagonist]

[Other than that, the user can have no other skill]

'I see.' Wei Jun simply replied before he moved on to the next tab.

[Shop]

[Healing pill: 10 gold]

[Qi restoration pill: 10 gold]

[Stamina restoration pill: 10 gold]

[Armor of lion king: 100000 gold]

[Whip of judgment: 100000 gold]

[The ring of infinity: 1000000 gold]

Wei Jun skimmed through the contents of the shop and checked them thoroughly. The items in the shop ranged from ten to billions of gold. The items in the shop didn't just consist of cultivation-related things but there were many other things related to daily life and masculine life as well.

There were things that were also ethically wrong in the shop such as an aphrodisiac. Other than that, there were also all kinds of remedies in the shop as long as he had money for it. The shop even offered pills to cure ailments that were impossible to cure normally.

'This is something.' Wei Jun commented. Even he couldn't help but admit that it was a massive help that would make his life here a lot easier.

'How do I obtain gold?' Wei Jun next asked. His assumptions were that the gain must be somehow related to the protagonists as well.

However, he was proven wrong by the next reply of the system.

[By converting real-time money]

'No wonder. It was too good.' Wei Jun inwardly sighed. If all he had to do was interfere in the life of the protagonist to gain gold, it would have made things too easy.

'What would be the conversion rate?' He asked next since now that he knew he had to earn money, he needed to know how much.

[100 Yuan to 1 gold]

'Which would mean that if I want the ring of infinity, I would need a hundred million Yuan.' Wei Jun estimated.

[Exactly]

'Do you think it is easy to make that much money?' Wei Jun asked seeing the nonchalant reply of the system.

[If it's the host, it is possible]

'Ho.' Wei Jun said before he asked, 'You know of me?' Wei Jun asked leisurely.

[I am aware of your true identity]

'Who made you aware?'

[Well that was--]

The system paused. It realized that since earlier, its host hadn't yelled. So it made sure to take a close look at its host's facial expressions.

That leisure and uninterested attitude displayed by the host was nothing more than a mirage. The host was concealing his true emotions, leading the system with his fake emotions to release information.

Such as, who was responsible for bringing him here.

[That… that cannot be answered as the system level is too low] Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The system replied in an awkward tone, avoiding the question.

'You're avoiding my eyes, aren't you?' Wei Jun asked with the same expression and attitude, not letting out the fact that he was angry in the slightest.

[Please forgive me]

'Who brought me here?' Wei Jun ignored the pleading of the system and asked with the same demeanor.

[…]

The system couldn't help but tremble as it began to find the current attitude of the host more terrifying.
