185: The platform takes 90% of the handling fee?

Father!?

As Li Fei uttered this sound,

the entire Li Family courtyard instantly fell silent!

The Li Family members, including the villagers and spectators, scanned back and forth between the two with wide eyes.

Li Fei called Li Hongyuan 'Father'?

They are the same age, so...

The crowd instantly erupted in an uproar.

"Can't win? So he just knelt down and called him 'Father'?"

"Damn it!! The face of our Li Family has been completely lost by this scoundrel!"

"Hahaha! No wonder they all call him trash, I thought he was just weak in cultivation, but I didn't expect him to have no backbone either."

"He's infuriating! Doesn't he have any shame? His own father is still alive, yet he's calling someone else 'Father'!? How could our Li Family produce such a disgrace!"

"Elder, elder, calm down, it's not worth hurting yourself over Li Fei."

"......"

[Collapse Value +60!]

Li Hongyuan on the stage was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, good, good, good, good son, good son, get up."

"Just for that 'Father', I, your father, can let you off lightly and spare you some physical pain."

[Collapse Value +20!]

Li Fei was already red-faced from shame and frustration.

He stood up silently, looking at the system that immediately appeared before him.

[Crackling, crackling!]

[Congratulations on completing Task One 'First Time Acknowledging a Father'!]

[Reward distribution in progress...]

Li Fei didn't have to wait long, the system message popped up again.

[Congratulations on receiving reward: 10 Father Acknowledgment Points!]

"What!?"

"Wasn't it 100!? Why is there only 10 points!?"

Li Fei had no idea what kind of existence the 'system' was. He had already abandoned his dignity and knelt down to call someone 'Father' in public.

This damn system actually deducted his reward.

He instantly couldn't stand it!

"System, give me an explanation!"

He roared out in anger on the spot: "If you don't explain it clearly to me! I'd rather fail the task and be erased by you!"

[Collapse Value +20!]

In fact, this was all Lin Sheng's choice.

A few seconds ago, the options popped up before him.

[You have completed the task, the 'Acknowledge Father and Become Stronger' system is ready to distribute rewards!]

[There is hope in your heart, perhaps it is possible——]

[A: First time completing the task, possibly an additional 100 Father Acknowledgment Points will be awarded.]

[B: Normally receive 100 Father Acknowledgment Points.]

[C: Receive 50 Father Acknowledgment Points, because the system needs part of the Father Acknowledgment Point energy to maintain itself.]

[D: Receive 10 Father Acknowledgment Points, because the system platform will deduct a 90% handling fee.]

Lin Sheng naturally chose D.

And at this moment.

Looking at the system reply that appeared before Li Fei, Lin Sheng smiled faintly.

[Crackling, crackling!]

[Reply to Host's question: Because the system was created by the 'Heavenly Dao', it will charge a 90% platform handling fee.]

Heavenly... Dao?

Seeing the system's reply, Li Fei was stunned.

This 'Acknowledge Father and Become Stronger' system, turned out to be given to him by the Heavenly Dao?

"So..."

"The mastermind behind all of this, is actually the Heavenly Dao!"

Li Fei gradually clenched his fists.

Giving him this thing for no reason, forcing him to kneel down and call someone else 'Father', erasing him if he doesn't complete it.......

And deducting so much of the reward......

Hateful!

[Collapse Value +70!]

Li Fei knew deep down that he, only a Martial Apprentice, could not go against the Heavenly Dao, so he took two deep breaths, suppressing the frustration and anger in his heart.

"Then system, I've received Father Acknowledgment Points, what now?"

"These 10 Father Acknowledgment Points, surely they can do something?"

Doing such a shameful thing in public.

If there isn't a corresponding reward, wouldn't he have been essentially toyed with by the Heavenly Dao!?

And before Lin Sheng, the options popped up again.

[You are very much looking forward to what these 10 Father Acknowledgment Points can do, and the system will soon give you the result——]

[A: 10 Father Acknowledgment Points can raise one minor realm!]

[B: 100 Father Acknowledgment Points can raise one minor realm!]

[C: 10,000 Father Acknowledgment Points can raise one minor realm!]

[D: 100,000,000 Father Acknowledgment Points can raise one minor realm!]

D!

[Crackling, crackling!]

The system replied!

Li Fei's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Although the system's 'crackling, crackling' opening every time inexplicably gave him a sense of cheapness and low quality.

But it didn't matter, as long as it could actually give rewards!

[100,000,000 Father Acknowledgment Points can raise one minor realm!]

Li Fei frowned.

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, then looked again.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands..."

"Millions, tens of millions, hundred millions...?"

"One hundred million points!!?"

Li Fei's eyes widened. His face, already red from shame and anger, turned livid with rage!

He took a deep breath, then raised his head to the sky, unleashing all the pent-up anger in his gut! He roared furiously:

"Damn the Heavenly Dao!!"

"One hundred million Father Acknowledgment Points! Raise your mother's realm, raise!!"

"Bullshit system task! You might as well strike me dead!!"

Doing this system task is slower than him cultivating himself.

Does it think he's a fool!?

[Collapse Value +50!]

Everyone looked at Li Fei in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly exploded in rage.

He was also saying things like 'system' and 'task'.

Making people confused.

What made Li Fei even more furious was that this 'Acknowledge Father and Become Stronger' system even warned him!

[Warning: Host, please do not insult the system creator, otherwise you will be punished!]

"Punishment!? Hahaha."

Li Fei laughed in extreme anger: "Go ahead and punish me, you damn thing! Let's see what else you can punish me with!?"

[Host did not listen to this system's advice, punishment is now given: Deduct 100 Father Acknowledgment Points!]

[Hint——]

[Host's current remaining Father Acknowledgment Points: -90!]

Looking at the crimson -90.

Li Fei was stunned for four or five seconds as if he had gone mad.

He immediately spread his arms and laughed heartily with his mouth wide open.

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha......"

"I actually... I actually owe it 90 points?"

Tears streamed down his face as he laughed.

"Hahahahahahahaha......"

Like a drunk person, his steps stumbled as he swayed back and forth on the martial arts stage.

Making everyone around him sigh and even feel sympathy.

"Sigh, stop talking about him, he's already showing signs of hysteria."

"He's a pitiful person, going mad at such a young age."

"Yeah, it's a shame about that decent appearance."

Seeing this, Li Hongyuan opposite him stepped forward two steps, patted his shoulder, and a hint of genuine sympathy appeared in his eyes: "Forget it, go down, we won't fight anymore."

"Even defeating you, a Warrior Apprentice Fifth Stage, gives me no sense of accomplishment."

[Collapse Value +40]

Warrior Apprentice Fifth Stage?

That's right!

Li Fei suddenly froze, then quickly wiped away his tears, his expression instantly brightening.

'Let's just pretend everything just now was an illusion, I am still a Warrior Apprentice Fifth Stage cultivator!'

'I know so many spells from my previous life, and have so much combat experience from my previous life...'

'Against a mere Martial Apprentice Seventh Stage newcomer, I can still win!'
