Chapter 8: The Eve of Awakening

“Luo Qin!”

Tang Ying blurted out without hesitation, afraid that Yuan Yu would continue to torment her.

“Luo Qin…”

Yuan Yu frowned, pondering with a solemn expression.

It sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Tang Ying looked at Yuan Yu’s furrowed brow, and a strange confidence rose in her heart, as she sneered.

“You know to be afraid now, don’t you! I advise you to release me quickly, or else when the organization comes knocking, you’re finished!”

“I don’t know…”

Yuan Yu’s short reply made Tang Ying stunned.

He really didn't know!

Yuan Yu genuinely couldn't recall, so he pulled out a Card-shaped mobile phone and began searching online. The information that popped up made him thoughtful.

Luo Qin is a villainous organization in Da Xia’s fundamental worldview, "Immortal Qin." It is powerful, and along with another force, the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, they divided the world in two.

There was a Ninth-stage expert whose Card World of "Immortal Qin" had the villains gaining the upper hand, eventually overthrowing the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, which resulted in all his powerful Character Cards being villains.

This was originally nothing, but the key point was that he died, perishing together with his enemies! This caused his Source Card to drift into the starry sky, completely unmanaged, and it transformed into a spatial passage.

Within the Card World, those villains of the Ninth-stage and below stepped into reality one by one, and surprisingly extended their reach towards Da Xia on Blue Star, intending to re-enact the downfall of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

Although Da Xia had killed a few Ninth-stage experts, making them a bit more well-behaved, it wasn't by much.

Relying on the spatial passage for free movement, and with a Tenth-stage expert behind the passage, they continued to act.

Every time Da Xia wanted to encircle and annihilate them, they would quickly retreat behind their portal, never engaging in a direct confrontation.

Da Xia also dared not casually enter a Card World that possessed a Tenth-stage expert. Since this Tenth-stage expert couldn’t come out anyway, they simply continued this stalemate.

However, they developed very rapidly. Many people who had condensed "Immortal Qin" Cards but were unable to break through for a long time were easily lured and joined them.

Because Luo Qin can turn powerful individuals into high-quality Cards, people from the same "Immortal Qin" worldview, as long as they are absorbed into the mind, can passively increase their Spiritual Power, achieving a rapid breakthrough effect.

The principle is the same as those geniuses, who, relying on their powerful talent, directly condense purple or even gold Cards at the First-stage, thereby causing a surge in Spiritual Power.

As for whether there are any negative effects, the data did not specify.

However, Da Xia superficially couldn't replicate this, because only those beings from unbound Source Cards could freely bind and unbind with people who had condensed the same worldview.

The Luo Qin organization hadn't been heard of making any moves for quite a few years, no wonder he couldn't recall this thing for a moment.

Yuan Yu looked at Tang Ying, waving the feather, and asked.

“So Luo Qin sent you to deal with me? Don’t try to fool me, think it through before you speak!”

“…I came on my own. The lives of Divine Talented individuals are very valuable in Luo Qin, enough to guarantee me a promotion to the Sixth or Seventh stage, but I didn’t expect you to convert your talent into power so quickly!”

Yuan Yu looked at her askance, sneering.

“Is it possible that you’re just too weak?”

“…”

Yuan Yu tossed the feather away, checked his watch, and seeing that it was getting late, he then looked at Tang Ying and said,

“Well, that’s enough for now. I have things to do tomorrow, so I’m going to bed. Bye bye…”

“Wait! Are you going to kill me or cut me up, just tell me already!!”

She watched in some despair as Yuan Yu re-canned that foot, put it back on the shelf, and then left the room without looking back.

A strange regret continuously sprouted in her heart, gradually transforming into hatred. She hated herself, she hated Yuan Yu, she hated Luo Qin, she hated everything around her, but she could do nothing!

Yuan Yu returned to his room and saw the system holding snacks from who knows where, lying on the bed like a salted fish, munching noisily. He thought for a moment and asked,

“System, tomorrow is the awakening ceremony. Do you think it’s possible for me to awaken again?”

The system didn't even lift its head, focusing on its snacks, and mumbled indistinctly.

“Remove the ‘possible’…”

“Ah!”

Yuan Yu was startled; he had only asked casually, but it turned out to be true!

The system looked at Yuan Yu’s surprised expression and immediately poured cold water on him.

“Your original talent was just the aura diffused from my nutrient solution; it has absolutely nothing to do with you personally!

So, if you re-awaken, it won’t be that divine talent, but rather the talent you originally should have possessed. It might be trash, hehe…”

“…”

He was really hit hard…

Yuan Yu looked at the system, which was acting like a human, and suddenly asked thoughtfully.

“System, you said this body was created out of nothing by you. Does she have an identity? She’s not an unregistered person, is she…”

The system took a bite of a large chicken leg, which appeared from who knows where, and said confidently,

“Awooo~ You can rest assured with me handling things. My identity is your father’s illegitimate daughter, and I came through legitimate channels.

And in this world, besides you, I have no other relatives. Absolutely pure, no one can find the slightest abnormality!”

“…”

Yuan Yu silently prayed for his father. Who would have thought that after his death, he would still face a tribulation, and one that would ruin his reputation!

Suddenly, he paused. Legitimate channels? Where did these legitimate channels come from?

Yuan Yu looked at the system and asked in confusion.

“What are these legitimate channels you’re talking about?”

“Hmm? Didn’t I tell you? It’s your father’s Relics.”

She jumped off the bed and led Yuan Yu to a corner of the ground floor lobby, where a one-cubic-meter cube lay quietly in the shadows. One side had a door that was already open.

“Shen Tong Express…”

Yuan Yu looked at the express delivery label on the box and fell into silence.

Shen Tong Express is an express delivery agency operated by Da Xia's official government. Although it is cheap and safe,

However, due to extremely strict inspection of goods, no prohibited items are allowed, which leads to mediocre business and performance consistently in the middle.

But when did this thing appear in his house? He didn't have any impression of it at all!

“Where did it come from?”

Yuan Yu looked at the system, and the system responded as a matter of course,

“Yesterday, the delivery person knocked on the door for a long time without a response, so I just crawled out and carried the box inside.”

Inside…

Yuan Yu said grumpily,

“The villa’s defenses are truly useless against you!”

“Hehe…”

Yuan Yu suddenly thought of the delivery person and asked the system,

“…Did the delivery person say anything?”

The system stroked its chin and recalled,

“He seemed to have said something like ‘woh’…”

“…”

Yuan Yu could probably understand the delivery person. A person suddenly crawling out of the package in his hands would definitely shock his mother for 100 years.

Yuan Yu looked at the one-cubic-meter box, peering through the open side, and saw a soft, pink interior, like the inner wall of some creature, seemingly still wiggling slightly!

This is the standard structure for transporting live creatures; those soft, pink inner walls can provide the necessary nutrients for the transported creatures.

It seems it did indeed go through legitimate channels. Since the authorities did not classify it as contraband, it means the system is indeed a properly processed item.

Suddenly, he noticed a rectangular piece of paper stuck in a corner inside.

“Hmm! There’s also a letter!”

Yuan Yu gave the system a strange look, then took the letter out and unfolded it.

(“Xiaoyu, by the time you see this letter, I might already be gone.

But don’t worry, in your Card, I’ve prepared enough money for you to use for a lifetime. Do whatever you want, don’t worry about the Yuan Family, let them jump around as they please.

Oh, by the way, did you see that cute child? Hehe, your mom was so pleased, she immediately started caressing my face!”)

“…”

Yuan Yu’s mouth twitched. “Caressing his face”? He was probably slapped directly! He composed himself and continued reading.

(“I picked this girl up from the starry sky. At the time, she had no memory, and her body was incredibly strong. I checked her brain region and found it was completely new, as if it had never been used.

Maybe she’s the cub of some special race, but it doesn’t matter.

I thought of you right away. If this child is raised for a few more years, she can ■ ■ ■

In short, just raise her for now!”)

“…”

A section in the middle was violently crossed out, and there were even some dried bloodstains. Yuan Yu could imagine the scene of his father being dragged away and beaten again while writing, ultimately only able to summarize with those few words.

“What does it say?”

The system curiously looked up at the letter in Yuan Yu’s hand, trying to jump up to see it several times but being dodged.

Yuan Yu looked at the system’s eager eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked,

“Haven’t you read it?”

“I am a great system, how could I peek at other people’s letters? Hey, hey, hey! Why are you burning it! I haven’t even read it yet!”

As soon as she spoke, Yuan Yu immediately took out a lighter and ignited the letter.

The system was immediately displeased and said loudly with hands on hips,

“Hey! I’m your nominal younger sister! Your dad is my dad, what’s there that I can’t see!”

Yuan Yu extinguished the sparks from the ashes in his hand and threw them into the trash can, then asked a question.

“System, how did you create something out of nothing as you said?”

“Ah!”

The system was a bit confused by his sudden jump in topic, but still answered his question.

“Just condense a body, casually throw it somewhere, and give some benefits to this world’s Heavenly Dao, and it’ll arrange everything properly, then feed the information back to me.”

Yuan Yu smiled playfully.

Although the information the system received wasn't significantly different from reality, the process involved…

It felt like she simply threw the system’s body there when Yuan Yu’s father passed by, and that was it.

The Heavenly Dao of this world made a huge profit!

Yuan Yu looked at the system with some pity, as it was being duped without knowing it, and said,

“I generally understand. Your identity isn’t a problem, so you should also be able to awaken a talent, right? How about I take you with me tomorrow?”

“Uh, alright…”
