5: Chapter 5: Ten Years of Waiting, That's It

Under Ye Yisong's bottomless pestering, Navigation 798 reluctantly responded in his mind: "Please, Host, face your own status squarely. Do not insult Navigation 798; Navigation 798 does not have a son like you."

"Navigation 798? Do you have 798 brothers? Are you wholesaling Transmigration? Which expert created you? You're so awesome. Can you introduce me to them?" Ye Yisong asked in surprise.

"No. I am the eighth navigation System of the seventh-generation product, after nine revisions. For the sake of convenience, the Doctor assigned me the number 798." The mechanical voice sounded once again.

"Then how should I address you from now on? Navigation Daddy?"

"Just call me 798. Everyone in the laboratory calls me that."

"Alright, 798. What about the other products from the laboratory? Did they also enter different planes?" Ye Yisong asked curiously.

"We all have a special signal, but I cannot contact them now." 798 replied stiffly.

Ye Yisong broke out in a cold sweat. "Did they all fail? What happens if they fail?"

"Failed means failed." 798 added coldly in his mind.

What a "failed means failed." Ye Yisong felt that he must have been a very good person in his previous eighteen lives, and all his blessings were concentrated in this lifetime; otherwise, he wouldn't have won such a big "prize."

Then, Ye Yisong asked expectantly: "Respected Navigation Master 798, is there any help you can provide me?"

"Didn't you already experience it yesterday? Don't charge it so full next time. Your Rank is still very low right now; it's easy to blow up the battery." 798 explained simply.

Ye Yisong recalled the advertisement introduction from his previous life and, combined with 798's answer just now, boldly guessed: When my life is threatened, it will automatically control my body to help me escape danger.

Is it reliable? Don't get me killed.

It treated my process of absorbing Spiritual Qi as charging? Has it mutated? Then why didn't it appear before?

"Do you have no idea why I couldn't come out before? Was that even charging?" 798 expressed ruthlessly. "As for whether it's reliable, we can test it together in the future and collect the data. Data never lies."

Damn that testing data. If the data isn't 100%, wouldn't I be finished? Who is the data left for? Are you saying if I get finished, you'll just find the next host?

"798, can you block me? You keep staring at me, and I feel a bit weird. Just don't always peek at my screen." Ye Yisong complained.

"Yes, this is the Host's privilege."

"I still have privileges? Open all my privileges and let me properly experience what high technology is." Ye Yisong said excitedly.

"Please explore on your own, Host. 798 cannot actively open them for you."

"What use are you to me? You're just here to test data, right!" Ye Yisong said irritably.

"Warning! Warning! Host has voluntarily abandoned the test data. Navigation System is uninstalling automatically..."

"Uninstall progress 55% ... 76 ... 88 ... 92 ..."

"Don't! I was joking! Give me another chance, Navigation Daddy!" Ye Yisong said, at a loss. It had been ten years; he had finally gotten a cheat, and now it was going to disappear just like that. His mouth was too loose.

"Uninstall complete... No receiving station detected. Uninstall failed." 798's stiff voice appeared in Ye Yisong's mind again. "Reinstalling 5% ... 98% ... 100%. Installation complete."

"Do you think you're 3X0? Uninstall failed, indeed." Ye Yisong mocked. He would absolutely never admit that the person who almost cried from anxiety just now was him.

"You may withdraw, 798. I don't want to see you for the rest of the day."

"You can't see me anyway." It was that stiff voice again.

This is simply a huge trap. I've already taken off my pants, and this is what you show me...

And you only provide help when I encounter life-threatening danger? Why don't you just ascend to the heavens?

You brought me to this broken place, with no internet, no mobile phone, and no beloved artistic films—that was fine. But you actually want me to test data? Are you mistaken? If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you take me for a sick cat?

Do you believe I'll uninstall you and lock you in a dark room for the rest of your life...

"Please face your work squarely, Host. Warning: Host, keep your thoughts healthy and positive." It was that voice again.

"Shut up! Didn't I tell you not to appear today?" Ye Yisong said irritably.

...

Noisy sounds came from outside. Ye Yisong knew it must be Ye Yitian and the others who had just finished morning training and came to visit the lonely cleaner. It seemed he would have to prepare some cleaning talismans in the future; last night really made the Martial Artist lose face.

"Thirteenth Brother, you're the comfortable one. You ended morning training early, but we had it miserable, being tortured by Black-hearted Ye every day." Ye Yitian complained.

"Thirteenth Brother, do you have any of yesterday's sweet potatoes left? I'm starving to death; I didn't get enough to eat at the cafeteria today." Ye Yifan said as he started rummaging around the room.

"What are you doing? Robbing the rich? You animals, yesterday we clearly agreed on one each, but in the end, my whole box of Rank 1 sweet potatoes was ruined by you." Ye Yisong stopped the two brothers. He didn't have many Rank 1 spiritual items, and that box from yesterday was something he had "fleeced" from his father, Ye Jiesheng, after pestering and making a scene for over three months, only for them to ruin it all in one night.

At this moment, Ye Yiguang walked in from outside, rubbed his hands, and said awkwardly, "You guys are here too?"

Good grief, it seems they all tasted the sweetness. Looking closely, the cultivation of several of them had made small Breakthroughs.

Ye Yifan had broken through by one star, becoming an 8-star Martial Apprentice; Ye Yitian and Ye Yiguang were even more excessive, having actually broken through by two stars, becoming 9-star Martial Apprentices.

No wonder they all ran here early in the morning to sponge off him.

I was wondering why even that aloof guy, Ye Yiguang, was so shameless today. If I had broken through two stars, why would I need face? Isn't improving my Martial Dao cultivation better?

Ye Yisong looked at Ye Yifan, who still hadn't given up, and said amusedly: "Stop looking inside. There's nothing left. Last night, you were the one who consumed the most."

Saying this, he chased them out of the courtyard, saying as they walked: "Let's go. Each of the Craft Halls will have classes soon, and the Martial Examination will start in a few months. Don't drop the ball and get eliminated in the first round; that would be a huge embarrassment."

"Tell me, why does the Martial Examination also require testing a level in a Craft? Isn't this just messing with people? My Alchemy still hasn't broken through to Rank 1. It's killing me." Ye Yifan said, worried.

"I say the same. Why not just have a few matches for the Martial Examination? How many Prodigy Martial Artists have fallen on the examination grounds of the Crafts? It's a pity, it's lamentable!" Ye Yitian also expressed his sentimentality.

"Good brother, great minds think alike." Ye Yifan grasped Ye Yitian's hand and sighed with emotion.

However, Ye Yiguang poured a large bucket of cold water on him: "This 'hero' beside you broke through to become a Rank 1 Medium Grade Alchemist last week. I think you've forgotten."

"...# @ # * &" Ye Yifan shook off Ye Yitian's hand.

Ye Yisong looked at the somewhat dejected Ye Yifan and said: "Fifteenth Brother, you need to work harder during this period. If you don't have enough resources, I still have some here. The Martial Examination is not just your personal honor; it is also the Family's honor. You cannot be careless, otherwise, no one can protect you."

"To enjoy the treatment of the Direct Lineage, you must bear the responsibilities of the Direct Lineage, otherwise, they will make a fuss again." Ye Yisong added earnestly.

"That's right! Fifteenth Brother (Thirteenth Brother), I also have some extra resources here. Take them all." Ye Yitian and Ye Yiguang also took out their Storage Pouches.

Ye Yifan knew that the Cultivate resources for every Family disciple were rationed. Where would there be extra resources? But he still accepted the kindness of his brothers.

First, they had all grown up playing together and were basically inseparable; otherwise, that box of ten Rank 1 spiritual items wouldn't have been eaten up in one night. Second, Ye Yifan really needed resources now to improve his Alchemy level.
