Chapter 1: The System Descends
On the mountainside, clouds and mist shrouded it. One can faintly see the ancient building, as if there is a giant beast hovering above the clouds, looking down on all the living things. One can only feel that it is extremely majestic.
At this time, quite a few people walked into it religiously, like pilgrims. Lin Bai is one of them.
His appearance is delicate, but his eyes are like a deep pool, shining with a calm light. Maybe it's because he's a little nervous that there are ripples.
After all, this is his last chance. Everyone has five opportunities to awaken in their lifetime, and those who exceed the age limit can no longer awaken.
"Are you Lin Bai?" This time, the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at the booklet in his hand and confirmed Lin Bai's identity.
Lin Bai nodded. "Yes."
The person in charge was a little surprised. Then, he said nonchalantly, "Go in."
"You're insisting—"
Lin Bai stopped and walked straight towards the Awakening Hall. It has been 23 years since he came into this world.
As someone who has come to another world from the twenty-first century, this world is different from the modern metropolis. The world is clearly biased towards fantasy. The two main professions are martial artists and beastmasters.
Of course, there are other professions, but they are relatively unorthodox and there are relatively few people who practice them.
Martial artists value personal strength, training the body, training weapons, practicing martial arts, and so on. The Beastmaster focuses on connecting with all things, using them for their own use, and growing together.
Lin Bai's physique is not suitable for a martial artist, so he can only choose the Beastmaster. But in general, adult men and women can enter the Hall of Awakening and choose to wake up their pets.
However, five years have passed, and Lin Bai always returns empty-handed. He never woke up. If he misses this opportunity, he never has another chance. No wonder the person in charge had such an expression just now.
Lin Bai is almost famous in the town. No one thought that he would succeed this time.
In the Hall of Awakening, stone pillars stand in four directions: east, south, west, and north. It is carved with a mysterious totem beast pattern. The light flowed over them, as if they were going to come to life in the next second. They stare at the crowd in the hall like a tiger stares at its prey.
In the middle is a huge transparent crystal. It is said to be made of ancient strange stones, and contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth. The huge formation obscured it, as if it were the rising sun.
As it spreads, there is a faint sense of oppression that makes people dare not look at it directly.
At this time, there were already many people waiting in the hall. When they saw Lin Bai's arrival, they immediately had strange expressions.
"Isn't this the one who failed to awaken four times? Why is he here again this year? ”
"After all, this is his last chance. Maybe he'll be lucky. It is still unknown if he will actually succeed in awakening. ”
The discussion goes on and on. Nobody wants to hide it. They pointed at Lin Bai, looking like they were watching the performance.
"Everybody be quiet. What kind of place is the Awakening Hall? How can we tolerate you guys making noise here? If you don't want to wake up, get out! ”
There was an angry roar from the hall, as if a majestic mountain had fallen from the sky and pressed down on everyone, making it almost impossible for them to breathe. The few people who were still talking just now instantly became like they were keeping quiet.
A tall man came out of it, his eyes full of indifference. His gaze swept over Lin Bai, and saw that he was not moved by honor and disgrace, and his expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of approval in his expression.
"Han Quan!"
"Zhuo Wenqing!"
"Zhang Dahai!"
…
Everyone walked towards the crystal in an orderly manner. If the awakening is successful, the crystal will change color and vice versa. The depth of the awakening of spiritual power can also be judged by the color of the crystal.
"Lin Bai!"
Soon, Lin Bai heard his name. He took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on the crystal. Even though he had been calm, at this moment, he was a little flustered.
If he doesn't succeed this time, he'll have to live like a piece of waste.
Unfortunately, Heaven doesn't seem to hear his prayers. After a while, the crystal was still the same as before. Nothing happened.
"I told you he couldn't. Why should you try? It's a waste of time. ”
There was a commotion in the ranks. Lin Bai could clearly feel that gaze was like a needle pricking him. The anger in his heart was surging, but he couldn't get rid of it.
The man who had just spoken couldn't help but have a sympathetic expression. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
The next second, it suddenly came to life!
"Buzz!"! The crystal actually began to tremble. Soon after, a white light rose from the ground. It's so harsh that everyone can't open their eyes.
"What, what's going on!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. The intensity of psychic power is classified as red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple. The Hall of Awakening has stood for a thousand years, but never a white one!
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.
The beam of light shines straight into the sky. Even the people at the foot of the mountain saw it. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on here.
[Ding - Bind the master Lin Bai, the 10,000-fold return system has been successfully activated. ]
Just when everyone was shocked, a mechanical voice sounded in Lin Bai's mind. His pupils contracted slightly, and then an expression of excitement appeared.
Isn't this the legendary golden finger? Sounds grandiose.
After so many years, the system has finally come, and the devil knows how hard it is to live without the system.
It turns out that this 10,000-fold return system can transfer the cultivation of the bound person to his spiritual pet, and then the system will return it randomly, ranging from two to ten thousand times.
While some aspects depend on appearances, they are not losses by any means. In addition, the most important thing is that the spirit pet has a certain chance of evolving back to its ancestors.
After Lin Bai figured out the functions of the system, he was even more excited. You must know that others have worked hard to cultivate, and he only needs to pass on his own strength to grow exponentially. At the same time, his spirit pet can also profit from it.
With the joint efforts of the two of them, his combat effectiveness will be several times that of the others. This is undoubtedly a time-saving and labor-saving existence.
After a few moments, the white light faded out. Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Bai, and then looked at the crystal that had regained its calm state. They are still somewhat unable to react.
"I should have successfully awakened."
In the end, it was Lin Bai's words that pulled everyone's thoughts back. Several of the people in charge of the main hall looked at each other in frustration. Their expressions were a little dazed. Finally, it was the person from before who spoke.
"Well, if there is no problem, you can go."
He looked at Lin Bai calmly. His gaze was a little curious, but Lin Bai calmly walked out of the door.
With a 10,000-fold reward system, he can both practice martial arts and tame beasts. However, the only thing is that he grew up with an ordinary family background. If he cultivates both at the same time, it is conceivable that it will cost a lot of resources.
"But luckily, I have the system in hand. Even ordinary spirit beasts can evolve. When I have enough money, I can buy high-grade spirit beast eggs..."
Thinking of this, Lin Bai already had a plan in his heart.
