101: In Chapter 101, the system was pleased with the choice of the cheat system.
"Bro System! You're the best!"
Chu Xiao felt a warmth in his heart and immediately responded internally, "One hundred thousand! I'll buy it!"
[Ding!]
[Consumed 100,000 pleasure points!]
[Current pleasure points balance: 359,624.31]
[Randomly selecting from the Intermediate Resurrection-type Power Trip Prop Pool...]
[Congratulations Host, you have obtained the following three options. Please choose one!]
[①. [I Can Infinitely Resurrect the Undead]: This Golden Finger comes from a Cultivation power trip novel. Once chosen, the Host will possess this ability to resurrect any undead without needing a physical body!]
[②. [I Can Infinitely Revive]: This Golden Finger comes from a Xuanhuan hot-blooded brainless power trip novel. Once chosen, the Host will possess this ability. After every death, you will be resurrected in a random world!]
[③. [Getting Stronger Every Time I Die]: This Golden Finger comes from a brainless, silly, hilarious self-torture power trip novel. Once chosen, the Host will possess this ability. After every death, all your abilities will double in strength, with no upper limit!]
The System's voice flashed by.
Chu Xiao: "...!"
He was dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
"How the hell am I supposed to choose? System, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"No matter what I pick, every option is Heaven-Defying. To roll these kinds of Golden Fingers with just a hundred thousand pleasure points—what kind of luck have I stumbled into!"
[Ding!]
[Host, please begin your selection!]
The System replied indifferently.
Chu Xiao said helplessly, "How else can I choose? I'm definitely picking number one! Although the other two options are incredibly Heaven-Defying, unfortunately, they can't resurrect others! They can only be used on myself!"
[Ding!]
[Congratulations Host on choosing [I Can Infinitely Resurrect the Undead]. This ability has been issued to your skill bar, and you may use it at will! (Note: Resurrected undead cannot inherit their strength from when they were alive)]
"By the way, what are the prices for these three Golden Fingers?"
Chu Xiao asked curiously.
[Ding!]
[①. [I Can Infinitely Resurrect the Undead] Price: 2 million pleasure points.]
[②. [I Can Infinitely Revive] Price: 5 million pleasure points.]
[③. [Getting Stronger Every Time I Die] Price: 10 million pleasure points!]
The System's voice flashed by.
Even Chu Xiao couldn't help but say in shock, "Ten million pleasure points!!! This must be the first time a ten-million-level Golden Finger has been refreshed!"
[Ding!]
[If you regret it, this System can give you one chance to change your mind and re-select!]
The System's voice drifted by again.
"Thanks, but no thanks! Golden Fingers can be refreshed every day, but once my mom is gone, she's really gone!"
Chu Xiao waved his hand firmly, his heart unperturbed.
[Ding!]
[Resurrection-type Golden Fingers are particularly scarce and very hard to refresh...]
The System asked again.
"No need, number one it is! Besides, this is a power trip story. If you want me to seek death every day, or get beaten to death by enemies over and over just to resurrect... becoming stronger that way, wouldn't this turn into a self-torture novel?"
"My Dao Heart is firm. With you assisting me, System, in the future, even if I face terrifying enemies from the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, I will be invincible!"
Chu Xiao said confidently.
The System fell silent.
[Ding!]
[The System is shocked and relieved by your posturing. You have obtained 100,000 pleasure points!]
[Current pleasure points balance: 459,624.31]
The mechanized voice drifted by.
"Holy crap!"
Chu Xiao was startled. He didn't expect that just by acting cool, he would actually cause the System to have an emotional fluctuation.
And it even gave him 100,000 pleasure points!!
This is truly Heaven-Defying!
While he was dazed.
Tang Caier stared curiously at Chu Xiao, who had suddenly spaced out. She waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "Chu Xiao? Chu Xiao? What's wrong?"
"Oh! Nothing..."
Chu Xiao snapped out of it and asked with a smile, "Then why haven't you gone to reincarnate?"
"Me?"
Tang Caier put her hands behind her back and pursed her lips, giving a somewhat embarrassed and shy smile as she said, "I committed suicide. According to the rules of the underworld, anyone who dies by suicide cannot reincarnate unless they find a scapegoat. You know me; I've been afraid to step on an ant since I was a kid. How could I dare to harm someone?"
Chu Xiao was speechless: "...You dared to commit suicide, but you don't dare to harm people?"
"Don't even talk about it. If I had known earlier that people who commit suicide can't enter Reincarnation, I wouldn't have done it!"
Tang Caier lowered her head, then turned her face and smiled lightheartedly again, saying, "But it's fine, now things are different. Before, it was very difficult for us ghosts to Cultivate. But now, I hear other old ghosts saying something about a Spiritual Qi Recovery. As long as we Soul Cultivators properly Cultivate the Ghostly Dao, maybe we can even be ranked among the Immortals in the future!"
Cultivating the Ghostly Dao can also lead to Immortal Ascension?
Which shameless person made up such nonsense...
Immortal Ascension was not as simple as imagined. For ordinary ghosts, even if they Cultivate the Ghostly Dao to the extreme, they are destined never to become an Immortal. A ghost is a ghost, and an Immortal is an Immortal. A 'Ghost Immortal' is merely a form of flattery used by ignorant mortals for benevolent ghosts.
Of course, there was another explanation: Ghost Immortals were deities bestowed by the Heavenly Court, but there was a fundamental difference between them and true Immortals. At the end of the day, they were still ghosts.
Chu Xiao naturally didn't say these words out loud; he didn't want to dampen Tang Caier's enthusiasm.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, you've changed so much! I remember you used to be a 200-pound fatty! But you're quite handsome now that you've thinned down. You look like a big celebrity. There must be a lot of girls chasing you now, right?"
Tang Caier asked giggling.
Chu Xiao rubbed his nose and nodded, "That's a must! I'm rich and handsome. What girl wouldn't throw herself at me like crazy?"
Tang Caier was amused and laughed loudly, "To be honest, if I hadn't seen you visiting Auntie Jiang's grave just now, I wouldn't have recognized you as that big fatty who loved to cry and eat back then~~"
"Uh... let's not mention the dark history."
Chu Xiao rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly. He was indeed very fat when he was in school, especially greedy for food, and wasn't liked by the girls in class. He had very few friends.
Only Tang Caier, who had grown up with him, was willing to be with him.
On weekends, the two of them would go shopping, watch movies, drink milk tea, eat various snacks, and play games at the arcade. Tang Caier would even take Chu Xiao to get his nails done or ask him if a piece of clothing looked good when she was shopping.
Unfortunately.
Later, Tang Caier started dating a guy from another school who was a bit of a delinquent.
The two of them gradually drifted apart.
After that, she suddenly jumped off a building...
At that time, Chu Xiao's mother had also passed away, and his good friend had suddenly jumped. That was why he chose to leave Kyoto.
