Chapter 24
Prophecy? Foresight? Bloodline Talent? This woman is terrifyingly powerful.
[Ding, thank you for the correction, host. The corrected value is 946 emotion points.]
Shen Shu'an: "?"
What does that mean? You just stay silent when faced with a difficult question?
Shen Shuan found it amusing and lowered her head to continue eating.
"Duck, if you're not too greedy, I can tolerate you."
"After all, how can I always eat meat while you don't even get a sip of soup? We agreed to share both the good times and the bad!"
Hearing that Shen Shu'an not only didn't blame him, but also understood his intentions so well, the system was deeply moved.
Its silence just now wasn't out of bravado, but because it felt guilty.
The host doesn't know how difficult it is to be a system administrator. Writing reports requires points, running programs requires points, and even trying to get some benefits for the host requires points!
It was so competitive and eager to grab things that it even snatched the initial newbie gift pack from a colleague.
Of course, these were distributed by headquarters and they had to fight over them; the competition was incredibly fierce!
Without any points, it's practically impossible to move an inch in the unified realm! The energy it's currently using is all earned by going out and doing part-time jobs while its host is asleep.
Waaah, even so, I still don't have enough points, so I can only secretly steal ten or five points each time.
Unexpectedly, after being captured by its host, the host did not blame it and even understood it!
【Host! 】
Immediately, the system's mechanical voice forcefully uttered waves of emotion.
Shen Shuan nodded slightly. Being touched was the right thing to do. This little system was easy to handle!
Since she'd already stolen it and couldn't stop it, she figured she might as well get along with the system.
Besides, she's not a capitalist. It's reasonable for the system to work for her and earn some points. If she could earn them, why would she want to steal them?
Shen Shuan buried her head in the bowl, smiled slightly, and seemed to have everything under control!
[Host, sob sob sob, I'm so sorry, this is so hard for me, I have elderly relatives at home...]
"Duck! You don't need to say anything, I understand!"
"But the emotional value I gained this morning is really high. Is Xuan Yi's talent really that strong?"
At this point, Shen Shuan's expression turned serious.
She couldn't help but ask the system, "Between him and me, who has greater talent?"
[Well... host, you can see that Xuan Yi's tan is unusually dark, right?]
Shen Shu'an glanced at Xuan Yi beside her and said, "Yeah, his black skin is quite colorful."
[That's right, host. Xuan Yi is one of the ancient dragon races, the Xuan You Yao Long, who perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Dragon King.]
Speaking of the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan, this involves many settings not mentioned in the original book.
Simply put, the reason why the Dragon Clan became the number one demon clan in the Yuanhe Realm is all thanks to the first Dragon King in ancient times. After that, the position of Dragon King was passed down, and if the descendants were not qualified, then the capable could also take the place.
Shen Shuan nodded, "I see."
She said that the dragon race is a treasure from beginning to end, and even a tiny piece can be sold for an astronomical price. Although they are powerful, wealth is ultimately a powerful motivator.
Even if it is divided and destroyed by other races, it is not invincible.
However, that's not the focus right now.
Shen Shu'an narrowed her eyes slightly: "Yaya, so, his talent is stronger than mine?"
The moment he made that decision, Shen Shuan felt himself get an erection.
Her fist hardened.
"Duckling, I refuse to accept this!"
Seeing that Shen Shu'an was genuinely upset, the system quickly said, "Host, that's not how it's said."
[While his talent is indeed terrifying, aren't you terrifying, host?!]
[This is a high-level match, and host, do you remember what I said before? Your talent can be upgraded further!]
[First talent upgrade only requires 50000 points!]
As it spoke, the system couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. If the host's talent were to be upgraded again, it wouldn't even dare to dream of it!
Shen Shu'an pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question: "So, if I upgrade, will I be stronger than him?"
[Host, of course! After all, your talent in human form is only slightly weaker than his.]
Furthermore, if one talent upgrade isn't enough, you can upgrade again, which only requires 500000 points!
Shen Shu'an: "?"
What do you mean by "only 500000 points"? Is that a small amount?
I've felt something's off since just now, and oh well, this duck is starting to act like a jerk again.
Shen Shu'an's face tightened: "Yaya, don't even think about trying to trick me into spending money!"
"If I had points, I would spend them!"
Is it that she doesn't want to level up? The main problem is that poverty limits her progress!
Shen Shu'an summarized: "So, we don't know if the other side has opened it or not, but anyway..."
【We're not closed!】
The system seamlessly picked up on the next sentence.
【hey-hey.】
"hey-hey."
When the two men, one of them and the other of the leader, laughed together, they all felt the dazzling light of their future.
Xuan Yi, standing to the side, was completely bewildered: "?"
Why do I suddenly feel a bit cool? Is it just my imagination?
……
After finishing their meal, Shen Shu'an lazily lay down to digest, while Xuan Yi sat upright with his eyes closed for a short rest.
Shen Shu'an glanced at the other person with boredom. Although her fist was still a little hard, she relaxed it again when she thought of the emotional points this guy provided.
"Ugh."
Shen Shuan sighed slightly, mainly because Xuan Yi had given her far too much.
In the original book, is there anyone with even greater talent than this guy?
In another six months, he will be able to fight two opponents in the secret realm, holding his own against a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their respective stages with his newly broken Nascent Soul cultivation, and even winning.
However, this is also related to the personalities of the male and female leads; remember the description of that scene—
Shen Wanqiu didn't want to truly antagonize the Dragon Prince, so she subconsciously held back some of her strength, after all, it was currently two against one with Qiao Pingsheng. Unexpectedly, Qiao Pingsheng was also holding back. He was always cautious, this guy whose very being embodied the word "survival" always reserved a portion of his energy for defense and vigilance…
Thinking of this, Shen Shuan felt an even stronger urge to sigh.
That's right, the original male protagonist, Qiao Pingsheng, is a king of survival, which is also the culprit for why the two of them haven't ascended to immortality in the three million words of the original book.
He has his own procedure when encountering an enemy: first, he gathers information, then assesses their strength. If they are stronger than him, he continues to lie in wait; if they are weaker, he still guards against the enemy having a backup plan and continues to lie in wait.
He would only make his move after lying in wait for half a year or a month, ensuring he had a thorough understanding of the situation and that he could completely overwhelm his opponent.
Even so, they still used ambushes, traps, and sneak attacks from behind to kill their enemies when they were off guard.
"well……"
All I can say is that he's incredibly sneaky. If you mess with him, you'll have to keep watch with one eye while you sleep at night.
[Host, isn't this just not sleeping?]
Shen Shu'an sighed softly again, her heart filled with unspoken emotions: "Yes."
Hearing the sighs beside him again and again, Xuan Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at Shen Shu'an with a puzzled expression.
Why do you always sigh?
Hearing Xuan Yi's question, even though it seemed a bit nonsensical, Shen Shu'an still turned her head and explained.
"I had a dream."
"In my dream, on a moonless night, a massive hurricane swept through Qingcheng, where my home was located, causing countless deaths and injuries, including to my parents."
"I've had this dream for several days in a row, and it's keeping me up at night."
As Xiao Bailong's slightly melancholy words fell, Xuan Yi's originally calm expression gradually turned serious.
After Shen Shuan finished speaking, the space beside him distorted, and an old man dressed in a black robe appeared.
The other person stepped out from the void, his back slightly hunched, and looked at Shen Shu'an, squatting down as he said, "Oh? Young friend Shen, could you please tell me more about this dream?"
Upon seeing this, Nian Qiuhua and Shen Wuming, who couldn't understand dragon language at all, immediately became tense.
Although they didn't know what had happened, they all instinctively stood in front of Shen Shu'an to protect her.
Only Shen Shu'an: "???"
She only wanted to elicit the mission from the reclusive sparrow, so how did she end up attracting a mysterious old man?
What does that mean? You have an old man with you all the time? So, Xuan Yi, you didn't even turn him off?
Shen Shu'an: "?"
What does that mean? You just stay silent when faced with a difficult question?
Shen Shuan found it amusing and lowered her head to continue eating.
