He looked at the description after tapping on the talents, and it directly amused Yang Genshuo.
Mirth-Seeker (Mortal Grade): Possesses a unique attitude toward life and an optimistic spirit, slightly increasing comprehension.
Neither Laughing Nor Crying (Mortal Grade): Work efficiency fluctuates greatly based on mood, happy mood +20%, low mood -20%.
"Alright, the talent has a great spirit. No wonder he is running away right at the start."
Although Yang Shi did not have any standout attributes or spiritual roots, these two white mortal-grade talents even had a bond, and the combination was quite interesting.
Yang Genshuo liked optimistic people. Even incorrect optimism was better than correct pessimism.
"Comprehension is 10 points higher than an ordinary person's, not bad."
Other than that, there were no highlights.
Besides the character card, he could also use the Incense Value he had just obtained.
Incense value has endless uses, serving as the bond connecting you and your descendants. (More wonderful uses will be unlocked as the lineage grows)
Currently he could only use one function:
Manifestation: Can transmit messages to descendants through visions and text, 1 incense value/entry.
"I can leave messages for him, this is crucial."
Aside from these basic functions, Yang Genshuo could only drag the perspective to look at the surrounding situation.
An unnamed wilderness graveyard covered by white snow.
Locations beyond the graveyard could not be seen clearly. His field of view was limited to a 100-meter radius around Yang Shi, with anything beyond that only visible as a rough outline.
For example, a small ancient city could be vaguely seen in the south.
After the game time stopped flowing, a bestowal countdown appeared on the right side of the screen.
Thirty minutes; if no operation was performed, it would default to no bestowal.
Yang Genshuo naturally would give Yang Shi a bestowal, to verify if this strange game could really send the things in his hands into the game.
"If the items of the two worlds can be transformed, that would be amazing."
"Hmm, what should I give him?"
He stood up and paced in the study, continuously pondering Yang Shi's current predicament.
"An injured beggar with meager strength, no fixed abode, and who often goes hungry."
"The game shows that sacrifices are once a year, so as the only descendant who can worship me, he must first steadily survive until next year."
"That way I can build a sustainable worship and bestowal system."
Under the pressure of the countdown, he had no way to think through everything completely, so he picked the important things first.
"What I have now that can complete this goal to the maximum extent."
He looked around and saw the self-heating rice and canned food he had just taken out from the underground safe house.
Instantly, Yang Genshuo's eyes lit up.
"Got it!"
Outside Bluestone County, nameless graveyard.
After Yang Shi finished worshiping, he wore a nervous expression with a guilty conscience.
After all, cutting ties with one's ancestors sounded quite punchable.
"Ancestor, forgive me, I have no choice either. This enmity is simply too huge. A little beggar like me without a spiritual root, let alone cultivating immortals, even my martial arts talent is mediocre, and I can barely beat the guard dog at the gate."
"Ancestor, from now on my name is Liu Shi. We shall meet again as rivers and mountains cross, goodbye for now!"
"In case I have a great opportunity to achieve the Innate Grandmaster Realm, I'll change back to the Yang surname then, or... you take a loss and share my surname too."
After speaking, Yang Shi felt much more relaxed inside. He knew that what he said was unfilial, but he knew his own physical condition well. If he continued to be blinded by hatred, he would lose his only advantage, and he would accomplish nothing in this lifetime.
Yet inexplicably, Yang Shi's heart tightened.
A gust of chilly wind swept up from behind, and the ash was blown about.
A large golden palm drifted out from the grave.
Slap!
Yang Shi was sent flying by a slap, golden light overflowing, forming two large characters in front of the grave:
"Rebellious descendant!"
Yang Shi: "!"
He looked left and right; there were only his own footprints on the white snowy ground. Coupled with the fact that he had just finished sacrificing, this divine power was clearly...
Thump!
Yang Shi knelt down directly, kowtowing rapidly with loud thuds.
"Ancestor, spare my life! Ancestor, spare my life!"
"I was just possessed by an evil spirit!"
"What kind of evil entity dares to occupy my body? My ancestor is an immortal, and will not tolerate your impudence!"
The air fell into silence.
Yang Shi coughed twice and said, "Ahahaha~ Ancestor, it seems the evil entity has fled out of fear of your majesty."
Watching Yang Shi's clumsy acting, the corners of Yang Genshuo's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to give him another slap.
Each time consumed 1 incense value, and now only 9 points were left. They couldn't be wasted and had to be used at critical moments to transmit information to Yang Shi.
Meanwhile, Yang Genshuo, after testing, had also prepared the bestowal for Yang Shi.
"Go! My doomsday safe house!"
Bestowal complete.
To avoid unpredictable bugs in the game, the text information inherent to the bestowed items will be wiped during transmission, and only the item name may be retained.
With a deafening crash!
A small house surrounded by thickened steel plates landed on the open space next to the graveyard, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Yang Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at the house in the dust and fog, his mouth forming a giant "O" shape.
"Holy... what kind of great immortal is my ancestor!"
Yang Shi looked at the humble grave once again, already filled with reverence.
Your descendant Yang Shi witnessed the ancestor's divine power, becoming even more pious to you, incense value +5.
"Great, I can say 5 more words."
"However, what I need to say at this stage has already been placed inside the house; let him explore it himself."
After confirming that he could bestow his safe house upon Yang Shi, Yang Genshuo wrote a full page of instructions.
Helping Yang Shi make proper use of his safe house.
This stored enough supplies for him to live alone for a whole year!
"It's up to you, rebellious descendant."
"So big? Is this all for me?"
Yang Shi tentatively asked toward the ancestral grave, but no divine miracle answered him.
He cautiously walked into the steel safe house whose door had already opened.
What came into view was an extremely neat and orderly modern space. Dominated by stainless steel materials, the safe house appeared cold yet full of method.
Irregular shelves and cabinets were filled with buckets and cans that Yang Shi did not understand.
In the exact center of the room was a square table with a letter resting on it.
Yang Shi opened the letter.
"To my dear descendant Yang Shi:"
"My name is Yang Genshuo. When you see this letter, I am already dead."
"But not quite dead."
"My soul has awakened, knowing you are the sole descendant of my Yang lineage."
"This house was once a safe house of mine in the mortal world. Inside are some good things I used to use, now bestowed upon you. Cherish the supplies inside well."
"Below is an introduction to this safe house:"
"This house stores a large amount of food, as well as some advanced tools you may have never seen before..."
"..."
"..."
Because the bestowal time was limited, Yang Genshuo only wrote some key information, telling him to boldly use the things inside.
After all, for a place that looked like ancient times, 21st-century technology was a bit too advanced.
After reading it, Yang Shi suddenly understood.
"The ancestor called me dear descendant, meaning he has me in his heart and isn't truly angry with me."
"Deepest thanks to the old ancestor, thank you, thank you~"
"Love you, old ancestor!"
Your descendant Yang Shi felt the care from the ancestor, becoming even more pious to you, incense value +5.
"You're focusing on completely the wrong things, hey!"
Veins bulged fiercely on Yang Genshuo's forehead.
