Ling Feng had a general understanding of this system and it was time to ask about something.
"System, is there a novice gift pack?"
System: ...
"If you don't give me a novice gift pack, I'm afraid I won't even be able to defeat the lowest-level monsters like Slimes."
"I'm not even an adult yet. Even an adult ordinary person without a weapon can't defeat a Hilichurl. I think it's even more so."
"So, whether it's reasonable or not, shouldn't you give me a novice gift pack to calm my nerves?"
Ling Feng reasoned with the system at length.
There was no other way. If he didn't get something from the system and gain some self-preservation power.
Let alone going to Mondstadt or Liyue Harbor, even going down from Mount Aocang, he would probably be killed by monsters before he even reached halfway down the mountain.
System: ...
[Ding! Do you wish to claim the "Novice Gift Pack"?]
"Yes!"
Ling Feng was overjoyed to have obtained something from the system with his eloquent persuasion.
If the system refused to give it to him, he would have to beg Cloud Retainer, the Adeptus who lived in seclusion on the summit of Mount Aocang.
But he felt the chance of success was slim, after all, he was just an ordinary person.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one free ten-pull in the random draw pool!] The system prompt sounded.
A long while later~
"That's it? Are you kidding me? The novice gift pack is just this?"
Ling Feng was somewhat incredulous, seeing that the system had only broadcasted once and then fell silent.
[Yes.]
"Are you kidding me! You want someone with bad luck like me to play the gacha?"
"Do you know how miserable it is to only get C1 Keqing, C0 Ganyu, a Jade Winged-Spear, and a Skyward Atlas after reaching Adventure Rank fifty and getting a 5-star?"
"Every time a 5-star is released, it takes seventy to eighty pulls. Do you want me to try my luck with this kind of luck?"
Ling Feng started to talk about random things with the system again, the real intention being to squeeze out more.
[Take it or leave it! Do you think wishes are easily obtained? (;`ヘ´)]
Ling Feng: ...
Whoosh!!!
Ten meteors of different colors descended from the sky, the most dazzling of which was the purple light.
Although Ling Feng knew that golden lights were not easy to obtain, he was still slightly disappointed. However, it was alright that there were two purple lights to somewhat comfort him.
Purple light represented things rated six to seven stars by the system. It was the best after golden light. He just didn't know how good these six to seven-star items were.
However, Ling Feng didn't know that this time he had extremely good luck. The probability of drawing a purple light was in the hundredths of a percent.
Two purple lights could already be considered the equivalent of getting a double gold from a single ten-pull in Genshin Impact.
The ten meteors transformed into ten cards, arranged from largest to smallest from left to right.
The ten cards floated in front of Ling Xiaoyao, and their quality could be seen from the color of their borders.
The borders of the ten cards were: purple, purple, blue, blue, blue, green, green, white, white, white.
With a thought from Ling Feng, the two purple-bordered cards flew to him first. He found that both purple cards had images on them, which were undoubtedly the items he had drawn.
Ling Feng looked at the leftmost card. The image on it was a bamboo slip, similar to the ancient books in China on Earth. In the middle, there were several golden characters written vertically.
"Yuan Ling Jue, Upper Chapter." Ling Feng recognized these characters. Judging from the name, it should be some kind of cultivation technique or manual.
With a thought from Ling Feng, the purple card shattered and turned into light points, then condensed into a bamboo scroll suspended in front of Ling Feng, with its relevant information beside it.
[Item]: Yuan Ling Jue · Upper Chapter
[Type]: Cultivation Technique
[Quality]: Six Stars
[Origin]: A top-tier cultivation technique from the cultivation world of the Great Thousand World.
[Description]: After cultivation, one can borrow the power of natural elements to cultivate. As this is only the upper chapter, it only records auxiliary cultivation methods for the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The cultivation speed can be increased by at most five times.
(Note: The cultivation ranks in this cultivation world are: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Ascendance.)
"Holy crap! A cultivation technique!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up when he saw that this was a cultivation technique, and from the description, it was a top-tier one. Even the upper chapter could accelerate cultivation by borrowing the power of the five elements.
Then, what about the complete manual? Wouldn't it be heaven-defying?
Moreover, if he wanted to improve his strength, this cultivation technique was definitely the most suitable. Although it couldn't increase it by a large margin instantly, its upper limit was very high, and it sounded like the cultivation speed wasn't slow either.
Cultivation is something desired by many people in Earth China. But now he had obtained a real cultivation technique. Anyone would be excited.
Flying swords and walking on air were no longer dreams!
"Wait a minute, System, if I don't remember the content inside, will it be gone if the bamboo slip drops?"
[For cultivation techniques and secret manuals like this obtained through the system, as long as you touch it to your forehead, you will automatically learn it.]
"Is it that magical?"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up again upon hearing this. This way, he wouldn't have to memorize the technique and then spend time trying to comprehend it.
Ling Feng picked up the bamboo slip as the system instructed and gently touched it to his forehead. Then, the bamboo slip directly turned into specks of light and merged into Ling Feng's mind.
Ling Feng also felt a memory appear in his mind. It was undoubtedly the entire content of Yuan Ling Jue · Upper Chapter. Although Ling Feng wanted to try cultivating it immediately, he suppressed himself and decided to finish looking at the items he had drawn first.
This was only the first item, and it had already made Ling Feng very satisfied. Perhaps there were more good things among the remaining items.
