C1 First time in Otherworld.
In the dark night, inside a small, dark woodshed, the lungs of the person lying on the shabby bed seemed to want to explode from inhaling the damp air.
The person on the wooden bed was wearing ragged clothes, and his entire body was covered with bruises. He looked half dead.
Suddenly, from the cloudless clear sky above, a bolt of lightning entered the woodshed and instantly struck the young man on the bed!
Almost immediately, the young man's finger moved slightly, and his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened! In the silence of the night, an earth-shaking curse suddenly sounded.
"Who ambushed me? I'm in so much pain!"
The quiet night air was suddenly broken by expletives. A lovely star appeared, as if in mockery of the youth's bewilderment.
"No! Where is this place?" Lin Hao surveyed his surroundings. What he saw was an unfamiliar scene. There was a wooden bed, a simple lamp, and a pile of firewood in an otherwise barren room.
Before Lin Hao could regain his senses, a large amount of information flooded into his mind like a tidal wave, and the pain made him feel as if someone had used a sledgehammer to hit his head. The rush of memories almost made Lin Hao faint again.
After a while, Lin Hao finally regained his breath. He raised his head, stretched out his hand, and raised his middle finger. He did it all in one go and sighed helplessly.
"Why do I seem to have transmigrated?"
To be honest, Lin Hao, who had read countless novels, had high expectations about transmigration. However, how could others become an emperor, with beautiful women, and power? Or become a famous general with a distinguished reputation?
On the other hand, he himself was in a very miserable situation. The dilapidated environment of the firewood house did not seem appropriate. The last time he remembered, he was just trying to show off on the cliff while there was no one around. But why would someone push him off?
Lin Hao looked up and muttered to himself with a desolate expression.
"So where is my golden finger? God, it doesn't make sense for you to just ignore me when you brought me here, does it?
As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, another bolt of lightning descended from the heavens and struck his skull!
A servant who was passing by the woodshed muttered, "What? What's going on? The weather is very good. Why is there lightning all of a sudden? Could it be that the caretaker has committed sins again? I heard that he beat up someone a few days ago." The servant immediately cowered. He looked around as if he was afraid that he would be overheard. "I better go back to work. It will save me from becoming an unlucky person.“ So he hurriedly left.
At this moment, Lin Hao was lamenting his injuries.
"God seems to be too extreme in his actions. He strikes me with lightning every now and then. I have never been struck by lightning in my previous life. This life has just begun. Without saying anything, he strikes me twice to express his feelings. I dare you to try striking me again if you have the ability!"
"The system requires the activation of the Nine Heaven Profound Bomb. Please borrow lightning from the heavens again."
"What was that?"
Lin Hao was speechless with surprise for a moment. Something could not have happened more than three times!
What responded to Lin Hao was not the mechanical voice of the system but a familiar yet unfamiliar roar.
"The system is rebooting. Please wait for a moment."
The system made a sound.
"The system is rebooting, scanning your body conditions. Due to your weakening vital signs, you are being automatically treated."
"Treatment successful!"
In the darkness, there was a sudden burst of laughter.
"I just voiced out my thoughts, and you really gave me a system?"
Lin Hao was already dancing with glee, unsure what to do next. As an outstanding young man of the 21st century, Lin Hao liked to read novels in his free time. He had been thinking about transmigrating for a long time and getting the golden finger to roam the otherworld. He had dreamt countless times that he had become the main character of the novel. He had transmigrated to the otherworld, stood at the Pinnacle of Martial Tao, and had lots of lovers.
Lin Hao's smile faded as he carefully examined his current situation.
He knew that his present identity was as the third young master of Tong City's Lin family. However, when Lin Hao was twelve years old, his parents mysteriously disappeared. The third young master, who had lost his protection, was always ostracized in the family. Without the cultivation resources and talent, his cultivation base was not even comparable to a servant.
"Your name is the same as my previous name? You are still considered as a trash. Not bad because this is very challenging! Now, you can go with peace of mind. I will accept everything you have from now on. I will take back everything you've lost by tenfold! Those who hurt you won't be able to escape! I will avenge you!"
As if someone had responded to his oath, Lin Hao felt his body's adaptability increase a little.
"So, System, come out!" Lin Hao pointed at the sky, feeling that he was very powerful.
A few crows flew overhead. They glanced at him like he was an idiot, then wagged their tails and left.
Then there was an awkward silence.
"Actually, as long as you recite 'System' in your mind, you will be able to enter the System.“ The System seemed unable to continue watching.
Lin Hao blinked his eyes in confusion and did not say anything. He silently said 'System' in his mind.
"Welcome to the system! This is your first time. I am the system's elf, Greyhound."
When Lin Hao heard this name, he felt very dominant. He looked around Space of Thought, but did not see where the system was. It became even more mysterious.
"Where are you looking? I am under your feet!"
Lin Hao immediately looked down at the source of the sound and saw a mini Husky looking up at him with disgust. It was about the height of his ankle.
Lin Hao was speechless.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Greyhound, and I want to provide stronger services to travelers. No matter how pathetic you may seem right now, as long as you charge, you can become stronger!"
Greyhound leaped onto Lin Hao's shoulder and pointed its paw forward. "Can you see that? Young man, a bright future awaits you! The pinnacle of martial arts, a large number of girls, you will have everything as long as you pay for the charge!"
"My God!"
Lin Hao grabbed Greyhound on his shoulder. Although he was in Space of Thought, he still recklessly rubbed the one-inch paw of the husky.
Greyhound had a look of disdain. If Lin Hao did not charge, then Greyhound would pretend not to know him.
"I won't argue with you. Right now, you can open a novice gift bag. However, you need to charge 15 G coins to open it."
Lin Hao stretched out his hand and caught a bag from Greyhound that suddenly came out of nowhere.
"What is this? What kind of system is this? Do I still need to charge in order to open the Gift Bag?"
Greyhound looked at Lin Hao with a sinister smile.
"Of course, you need to charge! If you don't charge, how can you become stronger?"
"Then how am I going to charge? What ratio should I give in exchange for it?” Lin Hao asked dispiritedly.
"Based on the comparison of the currency of this world and the energy of this system, the recharging ratio is 1 to 1. Also, when the system is activated, you can get double the amount of money you charged. When the time limit is set, the amount of money is also limited."
Lin Hao asked, "What's wrong with you? I can get double the amount of money I charge. For example, if I recharge 100 million, won't you give me another 100 million?"
Greyhound grinned. “Of course, I've always been so generous. You can charge as much as you want. If you recharge 100 million, then you can count it as my loss!"
Lin Hao searched the memories of the Lin Hao in this world and found that although he was a young master, his assets were few and far between. Lin Hao bent down and searched under the bed for a while. Finally, he took out a money bag and opened it. There were exactly fifteen Primeval Stones.
Lin Hao looked up at the sky from a 45 degree angle.
He was still unwilling to give up this novice gift bag. What if there was something in the gift bag that could instantly make him stronger? You can never be sure. Wasn't it just fifteen Primeval Stones? Wasn't this his own savings from the past few years?
He was usually bullied miserably. Otherwise, why would a Third Young Master like him only have 15 Primeval Stones after saving for so long? When he had the strength, he could take back everything that belonged to him!
Thinking of this, Lin Hao did not hesitate any longer and threw the money pouch in his hand onto Greyhound's face. "Alright, I'll recharge. I want to become stronger!"
Greyhound, who had received the money, instantly became energetic. Its attitude made a sudden 180-degree turnaround. It nodded its head with a silly and ingratiating expression.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'm serving you at full speed."
Lin Hao look at the dog's face that ignored him a few minutes ago with an expression of disdain.
"I have already charged you 15 G coins. I wish you a happy life."
"Do you want to open the novice gift bag?"
"I have already charged so hurry up and open the gift bag for me!"
