Qin Bo's shout instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Li Dong, his face full of doubt and worry, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Qin Bo's arm, anxiously asking:
"Xiao Bo, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
The surrounding villagers also gathered around, whispering to each other, their eyes full of suspicion.
Qin Bo calmed himself, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and murmured:
"Sorry, Brother Li, I might just be too tired lately."
"My eyes were playing tricks on me; I thought I saw a shadow just now, scared everyone."
Li Dong frowned, patted Qin Bo's back, and comforted him:
"You're just too hungry and too stressed."
"Come on, let's go eat something and nourish your body."
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Bo towards the dining table.
But Qin Bo's heart was filled with extreme joy at this moment!
That mechanical voice, like the sound of nature, revived his shattered hope.
"Oh, my System, you've finally arrived!!"
"I knew there was no way a transmigrator wouldn't have benefits!"
"I wronged you!"
"My System, you won't blame me, will you?!"
[Ding!] [Binding successful] [Reward: Novice gift pack, open?] [No!]
Qin Bo quickly suppressed his excitement. There were too many people around; if he made too much of a commotion, it would be difficult to explain!
"By the way, System, what about that old Li guy?"
[System first activation, anomaly body has been suppressed] [Suppressed resentful spirit body: Li Da Cai] [Gained one year of life] [Gained skill: Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique]
Qin Bo was shocked when he saw the text displayed.
"This... I can gain life?"
"Could it be that defying fate means using someone else's life to change my own?"
Before Qin Bo could think, a force directly merged into his body in the dark.
"Ah..."
Qin Bo cried out in comfort, quickly reaching out to cover his mouth.
Because he noticed that several people sitting at the same table were looking at him suspiciously.
Qin Bo's face flushed red, and he forced a calm smile, vaguely saying, "It's... nothing, I suddenly remembered something funny."
Although the others at the table looked suspicious, they didn't ask any further questions and continued toasting and talking loudly.
Qin Bo pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
He could clearly feel the power merging into his body, as if his soul had been sublimated.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he once again immersed himself in his consciousness.
[This System can consume lifespan to upgrade itself]
"Consume lifespan?! How much lifespan do I have left?"
[Host: Qin Bo] [Physique: Extremely weak (collapses at a touch)] [Cultivation: None] [Skill: Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique (Slightly accomplished)] [Remaining lifespan: 33 years]
Qin Bo felt extremely helpless looking at his own stats!
"Extremely weak?! Collapses at a touch?!"
"Damn it, I'm not a soft girl, why would I be easily pushed down?!"
"Isn't it your fault for transmigrating me into this poor scholar's body!"
"And it only gives me 32 years of life?! Does that mean I'll kick the bucket before I'm even 60?"
"Right, didn't old Uncle Li give me a year of life?"
"So, killing anomalies grants life?! What about killing people? Or even animals?!"
"I'll have to test it out when I get the chance!"
A Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique appeared in his mind. He wasn't mistaken; it was a genuine Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique!
"System, how do I spend life to improve skills? Improve my Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique!"
[Ding, spending life to cultivate...] [Year 1: You begin a long life of slaughtering pigs.] [Year 2: Practice makes perfect. Your Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique improves from Slightly Accomplished to Mastery, increasing your slaughtering speed.] [Year 5: Your understanding of the Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique deepens, breaking through the Mastery realm and reaching Peak.] [Each cut is precise, as if the cleaver in your hand has become an extension of your body, perfectly aligned with your will.] [With your exquisite Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique, you become famous in this small town.] [But you still feel there is room for improvement in the Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique. Due to a lack of talent, you cannot progress any further!]
The life spending ends quickly.
[Remaining lifespan: 28 years] [Skills: Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique (Peak)]
A massive amount of information instantly flooded Qin Bo's mind.
His body also slowly began to change.
Calluses slowly appeared on his right hand, which held the knife.
His physique also slightly changed due to the improvement of the Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique.
[Physique: Weak and Frail (Severely Hungry)]
Fortunately, he wasn't easily knocked over!
With the life spending over, Qin Bo's already hungry body became even weaker.
Ignoring the gazes of others, he directly began to devour the food on the table.
The lively banquet instantly quieted down, leaving only the sound of him swallowing food.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Qin Bo, how many days have you not eaten? Why are you acting like a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Qin Bo finally came to his senses, realizing his gaffe. He awkwardly wiped his mouth and mumbled, "I'm really sorry. I was suddenly hit by a wave of hunger and couldn't help myself."
But despite what he said, his hands didn't stop moving.
Soon, he had eaten an entire table of dishes by himself.
Looking at the others, he embarrassedly wiped his mouth.
"Um… should you order another table?!"
Helpless, Li Dong could only prepare another table of dishes for the other villagers.
Qin Bo was also embarrassed and helped out for a while.
After everything was settled, the villagers left.
Li Dong then dragged half a pig leg out of his house and handed it to Qin Bo.
"Xiao Bo, here, take this leg back to eat."
"Brother Li, this isn't right!"
"What's not right?! Uncle Qin passed away early, and it's not easy for you alone. I'll help where I can!"
Li Dong didn't hesitate and directly stuffed it into Qin Bo's hands.
"Then thank you, Brother Li! When Uncle Li is buried, remember to call me to help!"
"Alright, I'll definitely call you then!"
Qin Bo couldn't refuse and had to accept the pig leg. Its heavy weight filled his heart with gratitude.
As soon as he reached his doorstep, Qin Bo noticed something was off.
The door was half-open, and there seemed to be a slight noise inside.
He cautiously put down the pig leg, approached quietly, and picked up the carrying pole placed to the side.
The moment he pushed the door open, a gust of cold wind rushed towards him.
"Who's in there?"
Qin Bo shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty house.
There was no response, only a faint rustling sound coming from the corner.
He slowly approached, and by the faint light coming through the window, he found a black cat curled up there, its eyes glowing green as it stared at him.
In an instant, the anomaly of the scene gave Qin Bo goosebumps all over.
"Damn, it's just you, Black Charcoal!"
"You scared me!"
"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
He waved his hand, trying to shoo the black cat away.
(Cultivation Method: Initial glimpse, Slightly accomplished, Mastery, Peak, Return to simplicity.)
(Anomaly: Resentful level, Evil level, Vicious level, Furious level, Fierce level, King level...)
