178: Chapter 178 Su Mo: We need to be scientific! Uh, well, I'm not exactly a science person myself!
"That's right!"
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "I'm not satisfied with just humans anymore; I won't even let a snake off!"
"Throughout history, there are four people I admire most—"
"The grassroots hero, Xu Xian!"
"The ghost rider, Ning Caichen!"
"The man-nature unifier, Dong Yong!"
"The caterpillar lover, Luo Shiyi!"
"I am currently developing in the direction of a grassroots hero. Is there a problem?"
Shen Yuan chuckled, looking as if it were only natural.
Chu Yang and the other two: "..."
Talk about giving you an inch and you take a mile!
Su Mo, who was on the side, was instantly dazed: "????"
Don't!
The two of us really aren't a good match!
I'm a male, a real man!
And you're a man too!
Besides, my true form is so big, and you're so small... no matter how you look at it, we don't fit!
"epic-level, right?"
Chu Yang rubbed his temples, his gaze falling on Su Mo. "I see a bulge on his head; I'm afraid he's about to transform into a flood dragon?"
Shen Yuan nodded. "In his past life, he was an anti-drug officer named Su Mo! The kind whose information you can find online!"
Chu Yang and the others fell silent instantly.
An anti-drug officer!
Information available online!
Sigh!
Understood!
"Alright!"
Chu Yang nodded. "Since you brought him back, then he's one of our own brothers!"
"I will definitely train him well!"
Chu Yang said without hesitation, "However, this body of his is too big!"
"Can't he shapeshift?"
Chu Yang asked curiously.
"He already has the strength of Foundation Establishment, but he doesn't know how to do anything!"
Shen Yuan spread his hands. "He can't even speak!"
Chu Yang's face twitched. "Doesn't he know how to refine the throat bone in his neck?"
Shen Yuan turned his head to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo: "..."
Throat bone!?
How do I refine that?
"A snake's throat structure consists of cartilage and slender throat bones; they can only hiss and can't control airflow to speak human language."
Shen Yuan said, "Try to channel your spiritual energy to refine and reshape your vocal cords."
Su Mo closed his eyes.
He focused his mind to sense the bones in his throat, circulating the spiritual energy in his body to carefully refine and reshape them.
Shen Yuan: "???"
Don't snakes lack eyelids?
How can you close your eyes?
After a short while, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and spoke with difficulty, "You... you..."
"I..."
"Hello!"
As the word fell, the volume was deafeningly loud.
Shen Yuan quickly covered his ears. "That's too loud!"
"Sorry, I haven't spoken for a long time and couldn't control it for a moment." Su Mo's speaking speed gradually became fluent, his tone carrying a hint of apology.
"Even if you can't help it, you have to."
Shen Yuan chuckled, "Alright, now you can speak."
He then said to the screen, "Yang Zi, aren't you going to come back?"
"Fine, I'll bring them back right now!"
Chu Yang said and hung up the phone.
Su Mo carefully retracted his neck. "Young Master Shen, uh, the two of us really aren't a good match!"
"We're a great match!"
Shen Yuan smiled like a blooming flower. "What I lack most is a Child of Destiny like you!"
"How am I any kind of Child of Destiny!"
Su Mo said hurriedly, "I'm just an ordinary person with a bit of luck!"
"Besides, those are things from novels!"
"We have to be scientific!"
Su Mo spoke with righteous indignation.
Shen Yuan squinted, looking him up and down. "Are you sure about being scientific?"
"Tell me, do you consider your current self to be scientific?"
Shen Yuan's lips curled into a smirk.
Su Mo was instantly speechless.
Himself...
He really had nothing to do with science!
What else could he say?
"You really are an Epic-level Child of Destiny!"
Shen Yuan beamed with joy. "I have many Children of Destiny by my side, but... you're the only one who isn't human!"
Su Mo: "..."
"Child of Destiny!"
Su Mo gave a bitter laugh. "I really..."
"I have a system!"
Shen Yuan spoke leisurely, interrupting him, and casually took out an apple to munch on.
Su Mo: "????"
What the heck!?
A system!?
The kind in novels that is invincible and can help the Host achieve the supreme peak?
Does this kind of thing really exist?
Shen Yuan said with a smile, "I have a system, do you believe me?"
Su Mo looked at Shen Yuan quietly.
If he said he didn't believe it... he had turned into a snake himself.
If he said he did... it really exceeded his understanding.
It seemed... not impossible to accept?
"I really do have a system!"
Shen Yuan emphasized once more.
"Old Shen, don't you have any sense of secrecy at all?"
At this moment, Chu Yang landed instantly with Ye Han and Zhang Xuan. "Whenever you meet someone, you tell them you have a system!"
"What's there to fear?"
Shen Yuan spread his hands. "Because I have you by my side! Therefore, I have no taboos!"
Chu Yang's mouth twitched.
Hearing this... although it was a bit much...
However, those words were correct!
With me by your side, no one shall even think of harming you in the slightest.
"Hello!"
After Chu Yang landed, he waved at Su Mo.
"Um, hello!"
Su Mo nodded.
Chu Yang and the others all smiled and introduced themselves.
Legendary Destiny, Chu Yang!
Celestial Master of Longhu, Zhang Xuan!
Divine Doctor Descending the Mountain, Ye Han!
Su Mo listened, completely stunned.
"Old Shen has a system!"
Chu Yang said, "You don't need to doubt that!"
Su Mo was somewhat dazed. "For real!?"
Chu Yang shrugged. "We all rely on Shen Yuan's system to level up!"
"Shen Yuan's system is a Villain System!"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. "By bullying us and hitting us, he gets villain points! The villain points are split sixty-forty; we get sixty, and Old Shen gets forty!"
Su Mo: "????"
He's the Villain!? You guys are the Destiny?
Holy crap!
The Villain and the Destiny have teamed up!
And they're even freaking fleecing the system's villain points!?
Is this damn thing even reasonable?
I have never seen a plot develop like this!
Shen Yuan shrugged. "Fighting to the death is so exhausting!"
"In this day and age, it's about win-win cooperation!"
"Come on, my Epic-level Child of Destiny!"
"Join us!"
Shen Yuan extended his hand. "Let's achieve win-win cooperation together!"
Su Mo: I don't have hands!
There was no way to shake hands.
Win-win cooperation?
That actually sounds like a good idea!
It's just... didn't your system freaking explode?
Also, how on earth did you think of splitting the system with the Children of Destiny?
You just say you have a system without any reservations...
Aren't you really afraid of being killed?
"Join us!"
Chu Yang said calmly, "You just follow Old Shen's instructions and fight with us!"
"Because we're all following Old Shen's orders, whenever we fight each other... Old Shen can receive villain points!"
Chu Yang was all smiles. "This body of yours is too big..."
"Want me to help you train?"
Chu Yang patted Su Mo's body.
Su Mo had a face full of black lines.
So Young Master Shen is basically getting something for nothing, right?
He doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to keep collecting villain points.
But without Young Master Shen, there naturally wouldn't be a system.
This train of thought... is truly unique!
"Alright, I'll join!"
Su Mo nodded. "But I've only just learned how to speak... and this body of mine..."
Chu Yang extended a finger, and a streak of golden light shot from his hand, entering Su Mo's massive snake head.
Su Mo was instantly stunned on the spot.
A cultivation technique had appeared in his mind...
This set of techniques was very suitable for him...
Whether in his snake form or after transforming into a human... there were the most suitable cultivation routes.
"Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art!"
Chu Yang spread his hands, looking very impressive. "It's very suitable for a snake like you. Take it, don't mention it!"
Su Mo: "????"
As expected, I don't know anything at all!
I'm just a piece of trash!
