19: Chapter 1 [Tai Chi Xingyi Bagua Zhang]!!!

Yuhuwan Villa.

Upon returning home, several nannies quickly came forward to take the sleeping Chu Lingyin to her room.

"Eldest Young Master, it's getting late. Please get some rest early!"

A nanny said thoughtfully.

"You all should go to bed early too!"

After showering, Chu Xiao lay on his soft, large bed and idly opened the System interface to check it.

[Host: Chu Xiao]

[Cultivation: None]

[Golden Finger: [X-ray Vision] [Extraordinary Driving Skill] [Innate Giant Strength]]

[pleasure points: 5780 points!]

Nice!

He had actually earned so many pleasure points in a single day!

Chu Xiao rubbed his chin, scanning the System backend. He soon discovered something strange: normally, each passerby contributed only 1 pleasure point, with occasional critical hits of 2-4 points.

But while eating barbecue at Haifu Tower, during a certain period, the pleasure points contributed by those passersby and diners were generally as high as 3 points.

Could it be because of Pei Yimo and Li Qingxue?

Because they were goddess-level existences, having them by his side created an extra pleasure point multiplier?

And this multiplier required passersby to actually see them?

Chu Xiao felt this was very likely, but it needed further verification. He realized the pleasure points given by the System weren't fixed; there were certain hidden rules. He would have to figure them out himself.

"System Bro, there's something I want to ask you!"

He said.

[Ding!]

[Host is being too polite, please ask!]

The System's voice rang out.

Chu Xiao asked curiously, "Every time I open the cool-novel item pool, you give a prompt like 'opening the Elementary cool-novel item pool'! So, can I assume there are also Intermediate or Advanced cool-novel item pools?"

[Ding!]

[This System is the strongest cool-novel system! Theoretically, it possesses every cool-novel item and Golden Finger in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!]

[However, this System is currently still in the Elementary stage!]

[Therefore, it can only provide Elementary cool-novel items!]

[If the Host wishes to obtain higher-level cool-novel items and Golden Fingers, you must first optimize and upgrade this System!]

[Note: Every System upgrade will cause irreversible changes to this world! It comes with extreme risks! At the same time, the Host will be able to obtain higher-level cool-novel items and Golden Fingers!]

[Please weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself!]

The System's voice faded.

"What do you mean by 'irreversible changes to the world'?"

Chu Xiao asked curiously.

[Ding!]

[This question involves a violation; no answer can be provided!]

[Host, please understand!]

"Involves a violation?"

"Fine! Then tell me, how do I upgrade you?"

Chu Xiao asked again.

Since he was bound to the System, he couldn't just be mediocre his whole life; upgrading the System was only a matter of time.

As for causing irreversible changes to the world...

Chu Xiao hadn't considered that for now.

In other words, the System wouldn't just blow up the world just for an upgrade, right?

[Ding!]

[Upgrading this System is very simple!]

[It only requires consuming 100,000 pleasure points to complete the System upgrade!]

[After the upgrade, this System will unlock the Intermediate cool-novel item pool for the Host!]

[Note: The Intermediate cool-novel item pool can only be opened by consuming 10,000 pleasure points!]

"I see, 100,000 pleasure points! That's equivalent to winning over ten goddesses or killing ten Children of Fortune!"

"It seems like a lot, but in reality, it's not that difficult!"

Chu Xiao rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. He had earned over 5,000 pleasure points today alone. By that logic, it would take about ten days or so to save enough points to upgrade.

He checked the time; it was nearly midnight.

Chu Xiao decided to wait a bit before sleeping. He wouldn't miss the chance to open the Elementary cool-novel item pool for free once a day.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, the clock struck 12.

"System, it's time. Hurry up and open the Elementary item pool for me!"

Chu Xiao rubbed his palms together.

[Ding!]

[Randomly drawing from the Elementary cool-novel item pool...]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining the following three options, please choose one!]

[①. [Acute Sense of Smell] (This Golden Finger comes from an ordinary silly cool-novel. Once selected, the Host will possess an Acute Sense of Smell far exceeding that of ordinary people! It's so sensitive that even a dog's nose can't compare to yours!)]

[②. [Gardening Mastery] (This Golden Finger comes from an ordinary failed cool-novel. Once selected, the Host will possess top-tier gardening skills, making pruning flowers and planting greenery... a breeze!)]

[③. [Energy Absorption Great Art] (This Golden Finger comes from an ordinary funny Wuxia cool-novel. Once selected, the Host will automatically comprehend the Secret Manual Energy Absorption Great Art! As long as you touch the opponent, you can absorb their internal power! No upper limit! No restrictions!)]

The System's voice faded.

Chu Xiao's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't expect his luck to be so explosive today, actually rolling a Heaven-Defying Secret Manual like the Energy Absorption Great Art.

Holy crap!

This was a Supreme manual of the Evil Path!

The Energy Absorption Great Art that made Jianghu Cultivators tremble with fear!

This was truly Heaven-Defying!

"Energy Absorption Great Art!! Holy shit! It's a god-tier skill! That's the one! I want the Energy Absorption Great Art!"

Chu Xiao shouted excitedly.

In an instant, knowledge regarding the [Energy Absorption Great Art] flooded into his mind. He mastered it without a teacher, naturally comprehending it and reaching the Mahayana stage directly.

Carefully sensing the mysteries of this technique, the corners of Chu Xiao's mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Hehe! Awesome! Energy Absorption Great Art! I've only ever seen this stuff in Wuxia TV dramas! I didn't expect the day would come when I'd actually learn it! I'm on track to become invincible under heaven! As long as I don't run into a Cultivator, won't I be able to do whatever I want?"

"But to be safe, I still need some martial arts secrets for self-defense!"

"System, help me exchange for [Taiji Xingyi Bagua Zhang]!"

[Ding!]

[Consuming 2000 pleasure points!]

[Congratulations Host on the successful exchange, obtaining the Golden Finger [Taiji Xingyi Bagua Zhang]. Please be prepared!]

[The miraculous skill empowerment is about to begin!]

The System's voice faded.

Chu Xiao didn't quite understand. What was going on? Why such a big fuss? When he learned the Energy Absorption Great Art just now, it didn't say anything about being prepared!

Crucially, prepared for what?

Did he need to bathe and burn incense?

However, Chu Xiao soon understood!

A piercing pain erupted within his body. To be precise, every inch of muscle, every meridian, and every cell in his entire body was transmitting a tearing pain.

The unprecedented agony almost made him faint!

This time, it wasn't just as simple as transmitting the technique's Profound Truths; it was a major overhaul and blood transfusion of Chu Xiao's body, granting him the cultivation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
