Chapter 2 - Another system

Soon, the system rewards were allocated to him, and his statue window changed.

But most importantly, he felt rejuvenated.

His whole body crackled with strength. Although life force will just improve your lifespan, once it was extended, the physical strength also increased to be in line with the body energy.

Now, his statue window was...

Statue window...

[NAME: XÚ MÍNG

RACE: UNDEAD(+)

AGE: 19

VITALITY / LIFE FORCE: 530 (NORMAL 70–100(+))

POINTS: 2000

SYSTEM REWARDS: LIFE TURNTABLE – Level 1 (TO ROLL A TURNTABLE YOU NEED 1000 POINTS)

SYSTEM MALL: NOT OPEN ]

Now his statue interface had changed, especially the health value, which showed he was dying before, but now only stated that he was sick.

The other stats were also good, especially the life force, which had reached a whopping 500 years...

FUCK...!!!!

He couldn't help but curse.

500 years—that was a lot.

Even a 100th-level powerhouse only gets to increase their life force by 250, adding to the 150 they already have, making it only 400 life force.

But he already had 500 life force, equivalent to 500 years to live.

What an amazing system.

Going through the system interface, Xú Míng realized that the system was called the Life Upgrade System. It's only dependent on improving the lifespan of its host using any means—cultivation, talent bought from the mall (though it hadn't opened yet, but would in the future).

He was so excited that he started laughing around like a madman.

Who wouldn't go crazy just from looking at the statue interface?

His strength and his soul spirit were so high that he felt like fainting.

An ordinary normal person only had at least 0.5–1.5 points in physical strength and soul spirit 10–20 at most.

But an awakened superpower holder can increase theirs by 2–5 whenever they level up. The same goes for the soul spirit.

But just from the beginning, he already had 250 physical strength and a high point of 500 soul spirit, which he understood came from his time travel.

With this statue interface, he could say he was much better than any awakened person below level 70.

But the most worrying thing wasn't the low health, which he could understand, but the race part—where he was said to be an... undead.

"What does this mean?..."

He immediately tapped on the [+] button beside the undead race.

Immediately, another interface explaining the race popped out.

---

**[RACE: Undead

One of the Top 5 Races in the Cultivation World, known for their long lifespan and immortal cultivation.

The living dead born from unlimited resentment and unwillingness.

RACE TALENT: Immortality (Locked – Can only be opened at Level 100)

SKILL: (Locked – Can only be opened at Level 10): Raise from the Grave, Resurrection, Devourer, Transformation, Venom.

MARTIAL SKILL: God-Level Dark Elemental (Locked)]**

---

He immediately understood.

With these skills and race talent, he was almost invincible, he thought in excitement.

Especially this God-Level Dark Elemental—it was a rare skill, even rarer when added with the word elemental.

The original owner's resentment was too much. So when he died, his body had stayed for a whole month without rotting or stinking, making the nurse think he was only unconscious and brain dead.

Even the machine connected to his heart was still beeping.

"What a ghost!!..." Xú Míng exclaimed in shock.

Indeed, the ghost of the original owner had been using its will to keep its body living until just yesterday, when the full moon appeared and he was caught by Death itself with a scythe—and sent to the underworld.

The body hadn't lost its freshness, which was why Dave was able to occupy it.

And that was why the race changed.

He became an undead because of the body's resentment.

Though the original owner probably had already drunk Meng Po soup and reincarnated, Dave decided to take revenge for him and reduce his grievance.

But he wondered if anyone could detect he was an undead—especially those with summoning talent.

What if they wanted to summon an undead and mistakenly summoned him?

Summoners can only summon things at the same level or below them.

But he had not awakened his talent yet, and felt it might be impossible to do so in this life. He felt frustrated.

Looking at the undead skill and talent that required him to reach a certain level, he felt even more hopeless.

Then he thought of something and became excited.

If he could buy the A17 Potion Awakening Pill, then he would have the opportunity to awaken.

It's not too late yet—only at age 20 can the probability of awakening reduce to 20%.

But, how does he get out of here?

"Fuck!!!... How do I leave this dark space?"

It was only now that he realized it was the embodiment of the Undead race—a specialized Soul Space.

At the very least, he understood that he could store things in here.

As for any other things, he didn't know—only after he reached level 10 would he understand.

He wished the system could tell him how, but he understood the system was only a life upgrade one.

Although he might take a few years to cultivate his superpower energy and wake up with a healthy body—who knew if he still had time to do so?

Maybe one day the evil adopted son would wake up and strangle him. He didn't have the undead talent yet.

Feeling frustrated, Xú Míng screamed out his lungs at the sky, wondering why his sweet fortune was laced with bitter gourd.

Just then, a scrutinizing feeling overwhelmed him, as though something was scanning him.

"Congratulations to the Host for binding with the No. 203 Exchange System..."

---

A few minutes ago...

"Fuck?!??!" System 203 exclaimed in shock.

The person with abundant energy was an unfortunate young man who became crippled by his family's hands.

But that seemed much better...

At least it could use this opportunity to fulfill the host's wish and suck some of his life force. It was already drooling.

In the spiritual consciousness,

Looking at the host walking around and laughing like a madman, then putting on a worried look the next second—

System 203 thought its new host was a mentally deranged patient.

If Xú Míng heard what it was thinking, he would surely flip the system over in anger—he was clearly just excited for gaining a Life System, but worried about leaving the dark space.

Seeing the anxious host looking for a way out of his consciousness, System 203 decided to take action.

---

Back to present—

"System?..."

Dumbfounded, Xú Míng looked around as though searching for something.

[Host... you don't need to look around, I'm in your head, okay?]

"What!!?..." Xú Míng exclaimed in shock.

What the hell was going on?

He remembered reading through the system manual, which showed that the system wasn't an intelligent being.

So it couldn't possibly be talking to him now, right?

"Who are you?" he questioned, looking around.

Looking at the stupid host, System 203 decided not to waste time and introduced itself to him.

[I'm System 203 from the Exchange Channel—an Exchange System that can give you anything you want in exchange for Life Points. Call the statue window in your mind to see my use.]

"What!!... Exchange System... Life Points?"

Then it's definitely not the Upgrade System, Xú Míng's lips twitched as he thought.

Another System.

Fuck!!!

He cursed in excitement.

He had just gotten the Life Upgrade System—and now, an Exchange System.

His luck was really off the charts.

It only took him 10 seconds to process what happened before calling out the statue window.

Xú Míng's lips twitched as he looked at his statue window in disdain.

"Only this!!!..."

The system could feel the deep disdain from the host even though it couldn't read his mind. It felt annoyed.

The host was so stupid and annoying. If it wasn't for the abundant life force, it would have struck him to death and left.

How dare you doubt this mighty system!

[Host... don't look at it as though it's nothing. You can exchange anything from this system's mall—including high technology, cultivation resources, high-grade awakening pills, martial arts, and many other things—not excluding the Secret Realm Scroll.]

Damn!!!

...Shit... really?

"So... cool." Xú Míng thought.

He had really underestimated this empty system by its looks.

Though he felt disdain because the system couldn't even tell what race he came from.

From the look of things, the system couldn't detect the Life Upgrade System or tell his true race—which showed that it was many levels lower.

If the Life System had gained intelligence, it would probably tell Xú Míng not to compare trash with god-level artifacts.

"Interesting..."

[Host, to learn more about the system, you need Life Points to open the mall and purchase from the system.]

"Oh... Life Point. What is it?"

Xú Míng could already guess what this system was all about, but shut up to see what the system was up to.

[Host, it is the essence of life. Speaking clearly—it means your lifespan,] System 203 explained excitedly.

"I see..." he said, holding his chin in deep thought.

I've just got 500 years lifespan and this so-called Exchange System could already detect it... probably here to suck it. Hehehe... but this is fun.

Maybe he could exchange for a body reconstruction pill—it costs 5000 Green Star Alliance Coins outside.

He wondered how much it was in the system mall.

[Host, you don't have to think too much. With this system, you can gain power and wealth, then take revenge on those who hurt you.]

Xú Míng's face immediately changed color.

"How do you know?!!!" he questioned in anger.

Was it reading my mind?

System 203 was stunned by the host's outburst and became panicked.

[Don't worry, Host! I can't read your mind—but the information was analyzed through your memory. I can only look through your memory when I bound to you, which is a necessary thing for every system.]

"I... see..." Xú Míng breathed a sigh of relief.

This system probably looked through the original owner's memory.

What was he so worried about?

It couldn't even detect his real race, talk more of another soul occupying this body.

"System..."

[Yes?]

"How do I transform the lifespan to Life Points, and what is it equivalent to?"

[Good question.]

[Host, 1 day of your life is equivalent to 0.2 Life Point. Which means 1 year of your life is 73 points.]

Fuck!!!

Xú Míng cursed the system in his mind—what a life gobbler.

"System... are you sure you didn't set the price yourself?? Who will waste 1 year of their life for only 73 points?"

The system twitched in annoyance and glitched.

[Host, please do not insult this system. Every exchange price in the mall is set by the System Administrators, not the system itself.]

[If you still think I'm lying, tap the Complaint button on the system interface and send your complaint to the administrators. But remember—if you are found guilty, you would have to pay 500 Life Points as compensation to the system.]

Fuck!!!

So good... Xú Míng thought, looking under the statue window.

"What the hell!!!" Xú Míng exclaimed in surprise.

"When did this appear here?"

This system is quite efficient—but at least, it's trustworthy to know the price isn't set by the system itself.

"Okay... then, System, deduct 5 years of my life and exchange point."

Though Xú Míng said that with a straight face, his heart was already aching for his lost life force.

But since he wanted to get better faster, he had to sacrifice something.
