7: The evil system

By the time Wei Xuan woke up, it was already four o'clock the next day!

He was woken up by needing to pee!

Wei Xuan opened his eyes and saw himself lying on his bedroom bed, no longer in the warehouse!

As for the warehouse, it had long been cleaned up by Tiger and the others, who had then returned to the company!

Wei Xuan only felt his head splitting, so he drank a glass of water.

A note was left on the table.

Tiger wrote it, informing Wei Xuan that they had gone back.

Wei Xuan's headache was unbearable, and he cursed with a laugh.

"I remember I drank all of them under the table. Looks like my alcohol tolerance has improved, hahahaha!"

"Who was the first one to collapse, anyway?"

[Guess!]

System?

Why the hell would I guess!

"Anyway, I fought until the very end! Wahahaha!" Wei Xuan let out a strange laugh, completely carried away by his pride!

[Host, please click to view this video!]

Wei Xuan was stunned. The System sent out a video?

Click to watch!

Then he watched the video with great interest!

"You guys are weak! Come on! Keep drinking!"

"Whoever falls first today is a coward!"

"Useless trash!"

"What are you guys doing!"

"Brother Tiger, it's rare for the boss to embarrass himself, we have to record this scene!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Where's my phone? Which son of a bitch just swiped it from me!"

"Ahem, Brother Tiger, it's under the boss's butt!"

"Hurry up and record it! The boss is going to wake up soon!"

Wei Xuan's face instantly darkened!

I was the only one who collapsed the entire time?

That idiot turned out to be me?

Damn it!

I made a complete fool of myself in front of all my subordinates?

That's too embarrassing!

My image as the boss is completely ruined!

Unacceptable!

I must find a way to delete the videos on their phones!

"Ah! Black Flame hasn't eaten all day, it seems!" Wei Xuan slapped his head, only just remembering that he had placed Black Flame in the System space!

He quickly released Black Flame!

Little Black Chicken cried the moment it came out!

"Cheep, cheep cheep cheep"

"Cheep cheep cheep cheep"

(Master, are you planning to starve Black Flame to death and then eat the meat! Wuwuwu)

Wei Xuan spent quite some time comforting it.

"Good boy, don't cry, I'll give you a beast spirit pill to eat!"

Then he claimed the beast spirit pill from the System and took it out!

Then, a massive shadow enveloped the area.

"Bang!"

The roof directly exploded open!

Wei Xuan and Black Flame craned their necks and looked up!

They were dumbfounded!

"That is seriously huge!"

They saw an extra-large sphere filling the entire room!

It was ten meters in diameter and had ripped the roof right off!

Half of it was exposed outside!

The nearby neighbors were startled and looked toward the source of the noise.

Then they started exclaiming.

"The, the roof is actually spherical!"

"What art!"

"Young people these days really know how to have fun!"

"The material is extraordinary, truly impressive!"

Wei Xuan looked up at this extra-large "Pill," momentarily speechless.

After a long silence, he looked at the dazzling golden characters for beast spirit pill written above it!

He uttered one word: "Awesome!"

Black Flame was overjoyed!

Master is so kind, this giant Medicinal Pill will last me a month!

System: You thought too much!

Looking at the shattered roof, Wei Xuan felt his heart ache, and he quickly called Black Flame over.

"Black Flame, hurry and eat the beast spirit pill!"

Then he spread his hands and started gnawing wildly at it!

"It's pretty much like a compressed biscuit!"

Black Flame grew anxious.

How could the Master fight with his spirit pet over food!

It immediately lay on the beast spirit pill and began eating fiercely!

One hour later,

Wei Xuan and Black Flame were lying on the bed.

One was sporting a belly like a large watermelon!

The other was sporting a belly like a pear!

They both let out a simultaneous burp!

"Burp~"

The beast spirit pill next to them was still enormous; the portion they had eaten was barely noticeable.

Wei Xuan then remembered that he still had a bottle of healing medicine and one body tempering pill!

He quickly put the beast spirit pill back into the System space, feeling depressed as he looked at the open-air ceiling.

He should take a look at what the healing medicine and body tempering pill looked like!

Given the System's unreliable nature, any appearance wouldn't be surprising!

Let's claim that bottle of healing medicine first.

Wei Xuan retreated to the corner and clicked 'Claim'!

Then, there was no reaction in the empty room!

Hmm?

Wei Xuan was stunned, scratching his head. Where was the healing medicine?

"System, where is my medicine?"

[Didn't the Host already claim it!]

"Bullshit! Why didn't I see it!"

[By the Host's left foot!]

Wei Xuan looked down.

There was nothing there!

Then he squatted down, and only then did he find it!

He carefully picked up a white jade bottle, one centimeter wide and one and a half centimeters tall, using the tips of his thumb and index finger!

His mouth twitched!

Damn, what a tiny bottle!

Then he uncorked the bottle and poured it into his hand!

A small, red, pearl-like healing pill dropped out.

Wei Xuan nodded, that was somewhat normal!

Then he continued pouring!

Continue!

Pour!

Pour!

... It was gone!

"How is there only one pill!" Wei Xuan's face instantly darkened!

[That tiny bottle, could it hold a second pill?]

"I!"

Wei Xuan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!

Then why didn't you just call it one healing pill!

Why call it a bottle of healing medicine?

Give me back my anticipation!

Wei Xuan put the healing pill back and stored it in the System space.

Then he clicked to claim the body tempering pill!

He took one look and was instantly dumbfounded.

A golden Medicinal Pill lay in his palm, emitting a fragrance.

Wei Xuan frowned. How could this be?

Why wasn't there anything strange about this Medicinal Pill?

This is too weird!

This Medicinal Pill is actually somewhat normal!

This left Wei Xuan completely baffled for a moment!

Maybe the System had a sudden attack of conscience? Was it finally being serious for once?

"Never mind, I should absorb it quickly!"

Wei Xuan, looking excited, impatiently tossed the body tempering pill into his mouth!

"Crunch!"

Wei Xuan's expression instantly froze!

A miserable scream echoed through the sky!

"Oh my tooth!"

Wei Xuan was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, and he spat it out.

Besides the undamaged body tempering pill, there was also a bloody molar!

Wei Xuan wept bitterly, looking at the tooth in his hand with extreme grief.

"Little White, you can't die, Little White! We depended on each other and shared joys and hardships for so many years. I always raised you like my own flesh and blood, and I never thought today I, the black-haired, would bury the white-haired tooth!"

Then he threw away the molar, his face turning fierce!

He turned around, picked up a sledgehammer, looked at the body tempering pill, and said coldly, "You think this can stop me!"

He swung the sledgehammer, performing a long-lost hammer technique with ease!

The sounds of 'clang, clang, clang' were endless!

After dozens of strikes, the iron hammer was dented!

The body tempering pill was perfectly fine!

"Waaah ya ya ya!" Wei Xuan turned and pulled out a hydraulic press!

He subjected it to a furious pressing session.

The hydraulic press died instantly!

The body tempering pill was as clean and bright as new!

It even looked glossier, as if it had been polished.

Wei Xuan slumped onto the floor, covered in sweat.

He cursed loudly, "What kind of damn pill is this! How am I supposed to eat it!"

[The body tempering pill was never meant to be chewed and eaten!]

Wei Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

"Then tell me how to eat it!"

[Just hold it in your mouth! Only an idiot would try to chew this, right?]

Wei Xuan was shaking with anger, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

[I thought the Host knew!]

"I!" Wei Xuan gritted his teeth.

Give me back my molar! Give me back my sledgehammer! Give me back my hydraulic press!

He washed the blood from his mouth, then fiercely tossed the body tempering pill into his mouth and held it there!

"Why isn't it dissolving yet!"

[It will dissolve after holding it for 24 hours!]

Holy hell!

Wei Xuan's face was ashen, like an old flesh-eating zombie!

Then he spit out the body tempering pill.

He rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth, then washed the body tempering pill.

And threw it back into his mouth!

[The Host is seriously disgusting!]

Wei Xuan sneered, as if he could possibly be disgusted with himself!

He pulled out his phone and immediately called Tiger!

"Hey! Ah-Tiger! Get someone to repair my house!"

Then, holding the body tempering pill in his mouth, he went to the academy!

Along the way, Wei Xuan could feel his body getting stronger!

His muscles became more powerful, and his bones became harder.

It felt as if he had endless strength!

This was the effect brought by the body tempering pill.

His body seemed to be constantly restructuring, and every muscle became stronger.

His chest and abdominal muscles even became more defined to the naked eye.

The lines were clearer!

It blinded Wei Xuan's eyes!

"Tsk tsk, if this were sold to a gym, wouldn't it sell like crazy!"

Wei Xuan mumbled to himself while admiring his own muscles, and soon arrived at the academy.
