He had already told Zhu Zhuqing to her face that he wanted to take her as his disciple.
However, the system showed no reaction; clearly, just saying it wasn’t enough.
He hadn’t had time to ask for details on the way, but now that he was free, he needed to figure it out.
[Host, taking a disciple is not something that can be done through your unilateral recognition alone.
Using your Spirit as a prototype, this system has specially crafted seven lotus seed bracelets as tokens for personal disciples.
It requires mutual consent; only when the other party willingly wears this bracelet will the apprenticeship be considered successful.]
[Friendly Reminder: These bracelets are one-of-a-kind, with only seven in existence.
Once worn, they will automatically recognize their master.]
(TL: still basically word for word..
the only difference here is that its 7 rings so that means 7 disciples insteadof 9..
idk if this author will correct that or if he intends for there to only be 7, chances are there will be more but who knows)
As the system’s voice faded, seven bracelets appeared out of thin air before Lin Feng’s eyes.
The bracelets’ appearance was almost identical to the lotus seed patterns on his Spirit.
The material was neither metal nor jade, but warm and moist like emerald, shimmering with a jasper-like luster.
Soul Power faintly flowed over them, marking them as extraordinary items at a glance.
“Tsk, if this thing could be traded for money, it would definitely be worth a lot of gold coins…” Lin Feng toyed with a bracelet, subconsciously pondering.
[Hmph, Host, do not get any ideas.
This item can only be gifted to a disciple; others cannot use it.]
The system’s notification sound rang out at the right moment.
“Fine, you win,” Lin Feng curled his lip.
Then, thinking of something, he asked again, “System, is this bracelet just a token?
Does it have any other uses?”
[How could something produced by the system be ordinary?
It also possesses a storage function, with an internal space of one hundred cubic meters and a tracking effect.]
Storage?
One hundred cubic meters?
And tracking?
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up; this function was truly practical!
If he gave it to his disciples, it would be much more convenient to know where they were in the future.
He subconsciously touched the shabby Storage Pouch he had bought by scrimp and saving, which only had ten cubic meters of space, and suddenly felt it was no longer appealing.
One hundred cubic meters!
And it even has tracking!
If this were sold, how much would it be worth?
He was incredibly envious; even he didn’t have something so good.
“Stupid system!
You only think of giving the good stuff to my disciples?
Why don’t I have one?”
Lin Feng was so angry he almost jumped off the bed.
“You’re my system, after all.
Does it make you look good to see me wearing this piece of junk?
Get me a decent storage device too!”
[For free?
Don’t even think about it.
Clearance sale price: a one-hundred-cubic-meter storage ring for ten thousand gold coins.
Does the Host want it?]
The system’s price quote popped up coldly.
“Ten thousand gold coins?
Why don’t you just rob someone!”
Lin Feng really jumped up this time, pointing at the air and shouting angrily, “You stupid system!
What do you need gold coins for?
Tell me, what use do you have for gold coins?”
[That’s what you get for insulting this system.]
The system’s voice seemed to carry a hint of emotional fluctuation.
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched violently.
‘This system…
why did it feel like it had a temper?’
What happened to the obedient and submissive AI he was promised?
However, this instead made him more certain that the system definitely had many more good things.
Rubbing his chin, his eyes darted around as he pondered how to squeeze more benefits out of this ‘stupid system’.
[Host, do not bother plotting.
Your thoughts are perfectly clear to this system.
This system adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange.
Either complete tasks to earn rewards, or provide something of equal value in exchange.]
The system ruthlessly exposed his little scheme.
Lin Feng choked.
‘It can’t even be hidden what I’m thinking?
What about privacy?
Can I even keep this broken system?’
But thinking of the huge benefits that taking a disciple could bring him…
he endured it.
“Heh, fine!
If you won’t give it, then forget it!
Do I look like a rich person to you?”
He lay back down huffily, but his mouth started running wild.
“If you push me too far, I’ll go take out Tang San right now and steal that belt of his.
It looks pretty good!”
[Warning!
Host, the core plot of this realm revolves around Tang San.
If he is forcibly eliminated, it will lead to the collapse of the World’s rules, spatial collapse and restructuring, and you, Host, will also be obliterated.]
The system’s voice suddenly became solemn, carrying a warning tone.
Lin Feng’s hair stood on end!
“Can’t kill him?
Why?
Is there no justice in this World!”
“So bringing me to this World was just to make me a background character and watch him perform?
What’s the point in that?
I might as well just go on a killing spree and have some fun as a villain!”
Perhaps sensing his strong resentment and “throw caution to the wind” attitude, the system uncharacteristically offered an explanation:
[It is not that he absolutely cannot be killed, but that he cannot be killed now.
If the Host can maintain the World’s operation without collapse, then naturally…]
There’s a turning point?
Lin Feng’s Spirits lifted.
He knew it; he couldn’t just be a bit player!
“Exactly how do I do that?” he asked urgently.
[In this realm, there is no Lotus God yet.
If the Host can successfully ascend to a God and gain the power to control part of the World’s rules, you can stabilize the foundation of this realm, preventing it from collapsing due to the fall of the Child of Destiny.]
The system provided a direction.
Become a god?
Lin Feng quickly ran through the paths to godhood he knew: God inheritance, ascension through faith, ascension through fusion, and creating one’s own God Position.
God inheritance could be pursued, but he had no good feelings toward those high-and-mighty gods; he even wanted to find a chance to kill a few who didn’t follow the rules.
This path was temporarily dismissed.
Ascension through faith required a massive foundation of believers, was time-consuming, and complex to operate.
The difficulty was too high for him, so he gave it up.
Ascension through fusion?
Like Xiao Wu to Tang San, sharing the God Position’s origin as a ‘scabbard’.
He didn’t have the conditions for that, so he gave that up too.
That only left the last path—creating his own God Position!
“Lotus God?”
Fighting Spirit ignited in Lin Feng’s eyes.
“Sounds interesting.
Fine, let’s set a small goal first: become a Lotus God for fun!”
His thoughts shifted, and a sly smile curled on his lips.
“By the way, System, since the Child of Destiny can’t be killed for now, there’s no problem with stealing his ‘scabbard’, right?”
He was naturally referring to Xiao Wu.
[Of course.
As long as you do not directly eliminate the Child of Destiny, the Host may act freely.]
The system answered very straightforwardly this time.
“Got it!”
Lin Feng snapped his fingers, his eyes gleaming, his mood much improved.
With the system’s assistance, Lin Feng’s confidence in creating his own God Position grew.
As for shouting about killing Tang San earlier?
That was pure talk.
If he killed the protagonist now, what would he play with later?
If he couldn’t kill Tang San, then making things difficult for him and messing with his head should be fine, right?
The urgent task at hand was to win over Zhu Zhuqing and make her willingly become his disciple!
After all, the increase in Soul Ring age depended on the quality of his disciples’ Soul Rings; the higher, the better.
The stronger the disciple and the better the Soul Ring, the more he would benefit!
This was a major matter concerning his strength.
“Hehe, looks like I need to plan out a training regimen properly.”
Lin Feng rubbed his chin, his thoughts racing.
As everyone knows, to absorb high-age Soul Rings, physical strength and mental force are the two keys.
Training must revolve around these two points.
While pondering specific training items, his gaze subconsciously drifted toward the bathroom again.
‘Holy cow!’
This time, he clearly saw the hazy silhouette of the girl emerging from her bath amidst the swirling steam!
Although the details were unclear through the frosted glass, the exquisite and flowing curves left more to the imagination, packing quite an impact!
Gulp.
Lin Feng’s Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily, and a wave of heat surged through his entire body.
*Slap!*
