CH 11

Chen Fann finally understood. No wonder the system told him not to rely on firearms.

If he had relied on firearms from the beginning, he would not have been able to learn so many things, and it would be even more impossible for him to exercise desperately.

If he relied on firearms, he would slack off and would not be able to learn anything.

If his body could not grasp it, the system will not be able to grant him abilities and attribute protection.

He finally understood what the system meant by one must rely on oneself to rely on external objects.

Only with his own strength would he be truly powerful.

And technology relied on external objects. No matter how strong the external objects were, one’s weak self was still as fragile as an ant.

“System, why didn’t you say so earlier? If I had known this, I would have learned all 18 types of weapons. That way, I would have been able to master more abilities.”

“Host, these are only the basic abilities. No matter how many weapons you master, the abilities and attributes that this system can bestow upon you are only the basic abilities. Therefore, proficiency in one is equal to being experienced in handling 18 different weapons. There’s not much of a difference. “

“When you really want to fight, would you wear all eighteen weapons on your body?”

“It seems to be true.” Chen Fann was convinced once again by the system’s theory.

“Then what do I have to do to learn more advanced abilities and attributes?”

“Of course, you have to learn from those extraordinary creatures.”

“Tsk tsk… System, could it be that you’re thinking of the same thing as me?” Hearing the System’s words, Chen Fann could not help but let out a sinister laugh.

He had thought about secretly killing those ice giants, giant dragons, slumbering gods and the like while they were still asleep.

He didn’t expect the system to say that if he wanted to obtain a higher level ability, he needed to obtain it from the extraordinary creatures.

Wasn’t this a roundabout way to encourage him to secretly kill those extraordinary creatures?

“Host, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about how to secretly kill those extraordinary creatures to obtain higher level abilities and attributes to increase protection.” Chen Fann said without hesitation.

It was only another excellent reason for him to secretly kill the extraordinary creatures.

“Host… I didn’t think that you would have such a crazy idea. This system has a whole new level of respect for you.” This time, even the system was shocked by Chen Fann’s idea. “Although this system also thinks the same, you, a human, actually have such a bold idea. Your courage is commendable!”

“Hehe… I didn’t expect that you would think the same way, System. The two of us finally have a tacit understanding.” Chen Fann said with a smile.

Chen Fann did not realize that because of the System’s appearance, he, who had been silent for a year, revealed a smile once more after a long period.

“Of course. How could I not think of such a method? To survive in the era of the revival of the extraordinary creatures and return to the origin of Earth, no matter how you think about it, this is the best method with the lowest risk and the greatest benefits.”

“Although it’s a bit risky.”

“However, no matter how risky it is, it’s still better than waiting for those ancient objects to revive and wait for death.” Chen Fann said.

“That’s right, but now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing for the host right now is to read more books and try to finish reading 100,000 books as soon as possible so that he can have enough mental energy to read the Old Sun’s Gospel.”

“When the host can learn the ability from the Gospel, he will truly have the ability to obliterate those extraordinary creatures.”

“Otherwise, even if those extraordinary creatures haven’t woken up and are still sleeping, you won’t be able to kill them.”

“Alright.” Chen Fann sighed helplessly.

He had to admit that what the system said made a lot of sense.

Although he had obtained some abilities now, compared to those legendary creatures, they were not worth mentioning.

Among the abilities he had grasped, the strongest attack was the Arrow of Destruction and the five times innate divine strength. These two abilities looked powerful, but if he used them to deal with an extraordinary creature, it would be a little difficult.

However, when he thought of reading, he felt very uncomfortable, terrified, and afraid.

“I’ve already read four thousand books. I’m still ninety-six thousand books away from finishing one hundred thousand books.” Chen Fann said, “It took me a year to finish reading four thousand books. At this rate, I need at least twenty years to finish reading one hundred thousand books. “

After all, besides reading, he also had to eat, sleep, and work. It was impossible for him to continue reading twenty-four hours a day. So spending twenty years to read one hundred thousand books was the fastest speed.

“20 years, a whole 20 years!”

“At that time, I would be forty years old.”

“System, can you tell me? When will the humans who transmigrated to another world come back? Will they not come back when I’m forty? Am I going to live alone on Earth until I die?”

This was a question that he didn’t dare to think about for the past year.

Because the System didn’t appear, he could only work all the time, reading books and reading to divert his attention.

This was a problem that he didn’t dare to think about, so he could only continue to numb himself. He kept shifting his gaze, obeying the instructions of the System, using all his free time to read books. He absolutely couldn’t let his imagination run wild nor let himself think of such a terrifying thing.

Because he was afraid that once he thought of these problems, he would fall into the abyss and plunge into endless darkness.

He was already on the verge of collapsing mentally after living on Earth alone for a year.

So he could not imagine living alone on Earth for a few decades, growing old and dying alone.

This was truly the greatest torture in the world.

Just thinking about it was enough to make him feel faint.

But when it came to reading, he had no choice but to think about the problem of time.

He had always been avoiding it, not daring to face it.

But now, it was different. Now that the System had awakened, he had made up his mind to not avoid it anymore. He faced the System directly and asked the question that terrified him the most.

“System, when will humanity return?”

“Host, this system cannot tell you the exact answer to this question. Because if humans want to return to Earth, they must wait until they have cultivated to a certain level in the other world before they can return. Otherwise, they will only be sending themselves to their deaths.”

“Then how many years will they have to cultivate for? It has already been a year, and there are still no signs of them returning. Could it be that they will need to cultivate for a few decades?”

“It won’t take that long. This system has been sleeping for a year. I’ve also collected some information. There are many geniuses among humans. Those peerless geniuses’ cultivation speed will be very fast. After five years of cultivation, they will be able to grasp great power. If this system is correct, these geniuses will first return to Earth to explore the way. “

“Five years? It has already been a year. In other words, the geniuses of humanity… will be back in four years? ” Chen Fann couldn’t help but ask excitedly. He wasn’t interested in those so-called geniuses. But he guessed that since Lingling could see the old gospel, it meant that there must be something special about her. Perhaps Lingling would be part of the first batch of geniuses to return to Earth.

Thinking of Lingling being part and the possibility of seeing her in another four years, he was so excited.

“En… But there is a problem.” The System’s voice seemed to hesitate for a moment.

“What problem?”

“The time flow in the other world is different from the time on Earth. The time flow on Earth is 20 times faster than that of the other world.”

“In other words, a hundred years on Earth is equivalent to five years in the other world.”
