Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 341: Struck by Thunder
Jiang Yuan raised his right hand, the fla illuminating his profile.
"No! No, fellow Daoist, let’s talk this out," the shadow once again felt the scorching threat and retreated a few steps, his voice trembling slightly, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have incited your friend to insult and beat your girlfriend.
I was just purely envious and jealous. You know, in the Otherworld I was sowhat of a person, but since returning I don’t even have a woman to warm my bed, and they still get all cozy every day..."
"One last question: You don’t cultivate yourself, relying entirely on the system. Aside from constantly killing unard mortals to enhance your skills, what other auxiliary points do you add?"
"Equipnt! Actually, enhancing skills only increases attack power; the rest like defense, evasion, damage reduction, and critical strikes all depend on getting equipnt."
He gestured eagerly, "If you’ve ever played gas, you know that typical setup: you open the personal interface, there’s your photo in the middle, surrounded by empty slots where you can equip rings, necklaces, tops, bottoms, anything."
Those equipnt can be bought with money, stolen, or found in treasure chests while exploring secret realms. I have an incredibly powerful helt that I got from an underwater tomb called the Sea Moon Tomb. There are even rmaids down there! Too bad I couldn’t get one to see what it’s like."
That Sea Moon Tomb is like a tomb raiding dungeon, and despite being super powerful, when I went in I could only randomly take away a helt without picking or choosing, if only I could get the most aweso one on top..."
At this point, the shadow suddenly fell silent.
The system is gone, and the person is dead; what’s the point of reevaluating?
If heaven could give another chance, like in novels, rebirth at the ti of system binding, I’d definitely live brilliantly on both sides!
"Anything else to say? If not, prepare to hit the road." Jiang Yuan felt slightly confused inside and needed to calm down and think properly. Besides, the other party clearly hadn’t learned Corpse Control Technique, and his external equipnt slots weren’t activated.
The whole ti he depended on his ruthless thods, killing and burning, his experience wasn’t much use to Jiang Yuan.
The shadow realized after all that talking, he was still going to die, and instantly enraged, he cursed Jiang Yuan’s ancestors for eighteen generations, then realized his gaffe would only provoke the other’s attack, quickly slapped himself and spoke nicely to beg for rcy.
"The world is vast, it’s not just the small plot of land around you. Do you know why you can’t et good people?"
Heaven-Burning Fla casually flared up and began to burn away the black malevolence filling the room. Jiang Yuan stood in the blazing flas, one hand in his pocket, and said deeply, "Even soone as average and normal as wouldn’t stoop to associate with you, let alone those good and excellent people. You don’t belong in their circle.
As the saying goes, sumr insects cannot discuss ice. If there’s a next life, keep it in mind."
The firelight spread, and the shadow started burning. Furious, he jumped and shouted, "You son of a copulating coin! Babbling half a day just to toy with , huh? Damn it, when I learned magic, I should’ve taken revenge on society and used an Ice Cone to shank all of you!
Just wait for , I’ll bind the system again upon rebirth... Ahhh! Ahh save the fire! Soone’s burning the house down!"
Heaven-Burning Fla leaped and greedily devoured the filthy aura, thoroughly burning the shadow inside and out.
Evil arises from the heart, and the intense resentnt generated by being killed heartlessly by the system upon death kept him lingering in the world, exuding wickedness, attempting to corrupt everything around him.
At this mont, being burnt by Heaven-Burning Fla, apart from malevolence, there was nothing else left naturally, he was in extre pain.
After howling for quite a while, the fla receded, leaving a faint, almost wind-blown shadow in the air mixed with dryness and heat blending with the wind blowing outside the window.
"I... I am the chosen one! I won’t be defeated so easily, I will reincarnate and return to the peak again... You, you just wait! You’ll be the first I kill!" The man revealed his true form, around twenty-five or six years old, quite decent looking, but his fierce gaze detracted a lot.
Jiang Yuan still kept one hand in his pocket, unhurriedly retorting: "Rebirth and re-binding the system? Are you sure the system, which gets blad and scolded by you every day, would still want to follow you? Stop dreaming and think about the innocent mortals you massacred in the Otherworld, what sin did they commit? You’ll face retribution."
"Boom!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a lightning bolt struck outside the window, frightening the man who trembled and stubbornly said, "Wha-what retribution, I’ve never seen it myself. If retribution is real, then why haven’t Beautiful Country and Little One perished? I’ve only killed a few people... I’m not afraid! I’m the chosen one..."
"Crack!"
Standing near the window, waving his fists to add strength to his words, another lightning bolt struck.
Jiang Yuan saw the lightning jumping and vanishing in an instant, the already faint shadow was hit and instantly turned into a puff of blue smoke, the room filled with a slight burnt hair sll.
"Is this the legendary ’divine retribution’?" He glanced at the system interface and tentatively asked: "System? Care to chat? Was this your arrangent?"
Yet the system remained as quiet as usual.
He exhaled deeply, turned around, and went downstairs to find Yang Hongye. As he stepped out the hallway, he couldn’t help but look up at the sky, dark clouds gathering with fierce winds, feeling as if fate was arranged in so mysterious way.
Otherwise, how to explain such coincidences?
Graduated from college, looking for jobs and a place to stay, thanks to the roommate’s goodwill, co-renting with others led to eting senior Yang Hongye; Yang Hongye and Qiao Xiyu were best friends since high school, maintaining contact for years;
Qiao Xiyu and Zhang Rui were evicted by their previous landlord, urgently searching for a place to stay is how they moved here, everything making perfect sense.
Until Qiao Xiyu ca to find Yang Hongye and was discovered by to be tainted with black aura... suddenly two people with the sa system are connected!
If Zhang Rui got manipulated and Qiao Xiyu didn’t have strong feelings for him, they would’ve broken up;
If Yang Hongye chose to stay with a friend to cheer up instead of going ho;
If I was lazy and didn’t want to ddle, so many seamless coincidences even slightly altering, I might never have co to this city, never t the shred of the system’s forr host.
Judging by the way the system pursued him after death with heartless killing, it seed not pleased with his evaluation.
And before my binding, there was a previous host who’d just arrived at Riverfront Village and was beaten to death by villagers, Maybe my performance is considered quite good, the system deliberately arranged this encounter as a warning?
"The biggest problem with the system might be the randomness in selecting hosts, should test for character first." Jiang Yuan couldn’t figure out the reason, besides even if arranged by unseen hands, he had no ability to escape now, thinking too much was pointless.
Moreover, truth be told, having the system is quite good, at least Jiang Yuan is quite satisfied with his current life. Without the system, dreaming about a luxury house and car, wealth and leisure, traveling with parents worldwide, would be pure fantasy!
This mont would probably be endured amid a harsh job search, unemploynt, unable to afford the luxury of adding at to a bowl of noodles.
