After dealing with the items in his inventory, Ye Chuan went offline. He didn't plan to stay holed up in the Tianxuan Continent forever, after all.
He just treated it like an MMO, logging in daily to do his dailies. Plus, due to the time dilation, it didn't take up any real-world time.
Of course, it didn't really matter if he did the dailies or not. Skipping the rewards wasn't like skipping out on life or anything.
Back in his familiar room, Ye Chuan glanced out the window. Usually, he entered the Tianxuan Continent at night, but recently, to get the "Grand Slam" achievement, he had switched to entering the adventure world during the day.
"I've made quite a bit of money. Once it refreshes, I'll head into the Eerie World and clear out the dungeons." Ye Chuan took a sip of water and glanced at the one-time adventure world on his phone.
The rewards were pretty good, and it wasn't like he was in urgent need of Spirit Stones right now anyway.
After leaving his room, Ye Chuan realized it was quiet outside. There wasn't a soul in sight.
"Hmm? Where did everyone go?" Ye Chuan took out the Tenant Log and scanned it.
He found a few Chibi avatars gathered together, seemingly up to something.
[Luoxi is leading Lan Xiaoke in physical exercise]
[Bai Qianshuang is attacking a BBQ Pork Bun]
On the interface, Luoxi's avatar was making a cheering gesture, while Lan Xiaoke's avatar was running. Even as a Chibi avatar, Xiaoke's running still had quite a bit of... bounce to it.
As for Qianshuang, she was sitting on a small stool eating a BBQ pork bun.
"Hmm, looks like she's helping Xiaoke lose weight." Ye Chuan put down his phone, deciding not to bother them.
Although he had no idea how Xiaoke agreed to that.
Just then, Ye Chuan noticed a burst of purple flowing light appearing in the living room. The light began to expand, eventually transforming into a space-time rift.
A small foot stepped out, followed by familiar purple twin-tails.
"Ooh." A petite figure walked out of the rift. The moment she met Ye Chuan's gaze, she went quiet for a few seconds, then turned around as if to crawl back in.
"Trying to run, Lilith?" Ye Chuan sat by the table, resting his chin on his hand. He suddenly smiled. "To think you'd actually try to flee."
That one sentence stopped Lilith in her tracks.
The light of the space rift slowly faded. Lilith stood there, her back initially turned to Ye Chuan, making it impossible to see her expression.
After what seemed like a mental struggle, she flipped her twin-tails, turned around, and crossed her arms.
"Hmph, why would I run away?"
"Who knows? Haven't you been avoiding me these past few days?" Ye Chuan asked.
"That is a misunderstanding on your part. I have no reason to avoid you," Lilith said.
"Who knows? Maybe because you kissed me last time?"
"Hah?!" Lilith instantly bristled. "Who said it was because of that! It's definitely not because of that! Even... even if I've never kissed a member of the opposite sex before, doing something like that wouldn't make me feel anything!"
"Hmph, brats just love to let their imaginations run wild." Lilith's fingers frantically twirled the ends of her hair, but her eyes refused to meet Ye Chuan's.
Even though she stuttered just mentioning it.
"You're so old, yet still so innocent?" A trace of mischievous amusement flashed across Ye Chuan's face.
But he didn't intend to keep teasing Lilith.
First of all, he wasn't one.
Of course, he could be one—
"Lilith, when can I change back?" Ye Chuan pointed at his own appearance. After all, having the body of a child was infinitely uncomfortable for him.
Combat was fine, but it was inconvenient for daily life, especially driving.
"It still requires a bit of time." Lilith sounded a bit lacking in confidence when she said this.
"How long?"
"Maybe a few days..." Lilith's voice grew quieter. "Maybe a few years..."
Ye Chuan: "?"
"Years?"
"That's pretty fast, right?"
"Fast my ass!" Ye Chuan immediately strode up to Lilith and grabbed the front of her clothes. "You want me to stay like this for years?!"
"Hand! Your hand touched it!"
"Touched what?"
"Hand!"
"It's not like you have anything there."
"Hah?!" Magic immediately gathered in Lilith's hand. Sensing the threat, Ye Chuan calmed down significantly. "Speak. It's your fault, after all, so you have to take responsibility, right?"
"I didn't do it on purpose either." Lilith took a deep breath. However, seeing Ye Chuan, who was even shorter than herself, she resignedly said,
"I can grant you one request as compensation."
"Any request?" Ye Chuan looked Lilith up and down.
"N-nothing excessive!" Lilith said. "I... I won't agree to requests like mana transfer!"
"I didn't say anything, did I?" And what the heck is mana transfer?
"Then teach me a new magic spell," Ye Chuan said. "Something powerful."
"Origin Magic is already very powerful," Lilith replied. "As long as you continue to cultivate it, you can create magic as you please."
"Then I want a spell to change my size at will," Ye Chuan said. In that case, couldn't he just create a spell to turn himself into an adult?
"My magic is having issues. If you continue to comprehend it yourself, you can achieve it," Lilith said.
Translation: I can't help you; you can do it if you work hard yourself.
Ye Chuan was left speechless by Lilith. How could this grandaunt be so reliable one moment and so useless the next?
"Then give me another strand of hair?" Ye Chuan asked.
Lilith: "..."
"But I haven't used the previous one yet." Ye Chuan thought about it. It seemed he didn't really need the ability to summon Lilith anymore, since he still had resources on hand.
That milky-scented ball of light could also summon Lilith.
"I'm going back to my room." Seeing Ye Chuan hesitating, Lilith didn't want to stand there wasting time. She gave a soft hmph and turned to go back to her room.
"Then you owe me one," Ye Chuan said, since he hadn't decided yet.
Lilith nearly tripped upon hearing that, but she composed herself and ducked into her room.
"Not bad, I got an IOU from the grandaunt." Ye Chuan was fairly satisfied. After all, Lilith had plenty of good treasures on her. If he found something later, he could fleece one off her.
But since Lilith had to stay in this form to save energy, Ye Chuan was quite willing to get her more Soul Essence to restore her strength.
And the best place to farm Soul Essence was the Eerie World.
"But before that." Ye Chuan took out his phone and opened the enhancement interface. He glanced at the two +13 magic weapons in his inventory.
"I have so much money now, going for +14 isn't asking too much, right?" Ye Chuan didn't dare hope for +15 right now; he just wanted to upgrade the Human Emperor Banner and the Demon Sword Beyana a bit.
[Equipment: Human Emperor Banner * Dark Gold
Enhancement Level: 13
Attribute Boost: 300%
...]
+14 was 500%.
Starting from +12, the increase with each level was terrifying.
And since the Soul Banner was his main magic artifact, Ye Chuan decided to go for it.
Let's do this!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
