—Enter Talent Pantheon

No sooner had Gao Yang opened his eyes than he heard the sound of showering. He was in a familiar rectangular dorm room with four elevated beds with desks below. The south side of the room was the door, and the north side was the shared sink and bathroom.

Deep into the autumn, the morning sunlight was clear, and the slight breeze swept along the hallway into the room to rustle Gao Yang’s hair.

The door to the bathroom opened. Mi Shi emerged.

He was dressed in gray and black sportswear with a pair of old-fashioned sandals, holding a translucent plastic cup with a toothbrush frayed from long use.

He looked at Gao Yang with a gentle and bashful smile. “It costs 1920 Luck points to attempt comprehending a Talent.”

Gao Yang took two seconds to realize that his roommate was merely the form the system took.

“I thought you only ever turn into a woman,” said Gao Yang.

“I’m merely the projection of your rational...” The system stopped itself.

Gao Yang was surprised. “Aren’t you gonna finish?”

“You always interrupted me when I said that. I wonder if you don’t like to be reminded.”

Gao Yang paused. Ha, so the system grows, too.

“Would you like to check the current number of unclaimed Talents?” the system asked.

Even if he tried to be optimistic and looked at the mean of the number, it would take tens of thousands of Luck points for him to acquire Absolute Defense.

This is hard.

Gao Yang sighed in his mind.

He looked at the system. “Don’t I get some privileges as the Divine Scion?”

“Don’t you get enough already?”

Gao Yang couldn’t say anything to that.

Objectively speaking, he did get many privileges already. Outside his luck, he had seven Talents, he had incorporated Fresh Snow’s curse, inherited the recessive energy of a life monster from his mother, a lightbringer of a grandmother, and an awakener of a father, who left him with the Guard Rune Circuit, and he had managed to survive between two opposing organizations and start his own group. Others might be unable to do as much over decades, yet he had gotten here in less than nine months.

Nevertheless, it was too slow, much too slow.

This was a game he couldn’t end on his side. No matter how many chips he had now, he would still end up with nothing if he couldn’t win until the end.

Gao Yang suddenly had a thought. “I remembered you saying that I triggered something way back...”

Mi Shi smiled. “A hidden function.”

“Right. But what happened to it?”

“You don’t have enough Luck to unlock it,” the system explained calmly.

“Still not enough?” Gao Yang was surprised. “How much is that gonna take?”

“Please discover it on your own.”

Gao Yang fell silent.

He deliberated between saving up Luck points for comprehension or trying to unlock a new function of the system, the cost of which was unknown.

He was a self-proclaimed high-piker, cautious but making the necessary gambles. He would stick to it!

Mind made up, he said, “Increase my Luck to 2000. I confirm.”

The system blinked. “Your Luck is now 2000. You have 2078 Luck points.”

“Is the hidden function unlocked?”

“No.”

In the past, Gao Yang would’ve felt the loss and even cursed the system, but he was calm now. He accepted the truth that bad things could happen to anyone in the world. No one was truly special.

After some thought, he said, “Put 10 more points into Luck.”

“Your Luck is now 2010. You have 2068 Luck points.”

“10 more.”

“Your Luck is now 2020. You have 2058 Luck points... Congratulations, you have unlocked the hidden function—Wishing Well.”
