His Cousin's Temptation, the System's Jealousy, and Tenfold Return Mode!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Ye Tian shook the pellet drum, his white teeth showing in a delighted grin.

Despite having lived two lives, he still had no resistance whatsoever to these children's toys.

Just as with those spirit medicines and divine beast milk, he still enjoyed them immensely.

"Do you like it, little brother?"

Ye Xinxin stroked Ye Tian's head, a sweet smile curling her lips, as intoxicating as pearl wine.

As long as Ye Tian was happy, everything she had done was worth it.

Besides... it was only a matter of finding some Fierce Beast hides and rare treasures.

Then she had found a few top-tier artifact refiners, paid them handsomely, and commissioned them to make the toys.

"Hehehe, are you really that easy to please, little brother?"

"I've prepared lots of other little toys for you, too."

At her words, Ye Tian's eyes lit up. His big, dewy eyes turned toward Ye Xinxin, seemingly waiting for something.

"What? There are more? What kind of treasures will they be?!"

"Heavens, as expected of the president of Heavenly Treasure Commerce! Such deep pockets, such extravagance!"

"I wonder what treasures she'll bring out this time?!"

Huang Ruoxi's and Su Qinglian's crystal-like eyes shone as they watched Ye Xinxin, wondering what she would produce next.

But... with the previous example to go by, surely they would not be anything shabby.

Even toys she casually handed out would probably exceed their imaginations.

Sure enough, the moment Ye Xinxin saw the expectant look in Ye Tian's little eyes, she could not help herself and took two more treasures from her Spatial Ring.

"Look, little brother."

The light faded, revealing a small pendant floating in the air.

It seemed to have been fashioned from some kind of green jade. Pale green and unobtrusive, it would be easy to wear.

The other glow also dimmed, revealing a bracer.

It shimmered with a crystalline, pearl-like green light, exceedingly precious and rarely seen in the world.

"Little brother, these are the Green Pearl Bracer and Divine Spirit Pendant I prepared for you."

"You can use these two divine treasures as toys or as magical artifacts."

Ye Tian might not understand, but the astonishment in Huang Ruoxi's and Su Qinglian's eyes lingered for a long time.

"They're actually the Green Pearl Bracer and Divine Spirit Pendant!"

"They say both of these divine treasures were forged from the legendary Azurefall Green Gold."

"But Azurefall Green Gold is a God King-grade material. It's incredibly hard to find."

Su Qinglian lightly covered her Vermilion Lips with her slender, jade-like hand, her pearly teeth gleaming and her eyes trembling with shock.

Huang Ruoxi added, "Exactly. Besides, even if those supreme experts obtained Azurefall Green Gold, they would never squander such a heavenly treasure on making little trinkets like these."

"The president of Heavenly Treasure Commerce really does adore our little master. She even used Azurefall Green Gold to make these little toys for him."

Azurefall Green Gold was far more precious than anyone could imagine. Even supreme experts at the God Sovereign Realm would carefully safeguard it to forge their own God Sovereign Weapons, never using it to make little toys.

But... how could any trinket forged from Azurefall Green Gold be inferior?

Ye Xinxin patiently explained to Ye Tian, "Be good, little brother. This is the Green Pearl Bracer. You don't need to worry about it not fitting, either. Divine artifacts possess spirits and can freely change size to fit your wrist."

"Wearing the Green Pearl Bracer will triple your physical strength, with no upper limit. As for how much power you can actually bring out, that depends on you."

"The Divine Spirit Pendant is just as extraordinary. It can die in your place once, shielding you from disaster!"

"Of course... you can also play with them as little toys whenever you like. That won't affect anything."

Ye Xinxin explained patiently, like a gentle teacher.

Ye Tian pretended to only half understand, but inwardly, he was utterly stunned and exclaimed, It triples physical strength, with no upper limit!

But then, as though something had occurred to him, the flames that had just flared to life were doused.

He only had a mortal physique, after all. How much physical strength could he possibly gain during flesh awakening?

Even a threefold increase would not help much.

As for the Divine Spirit Pendant, there was even less to say.

He had the system's invincible defense mode. When faced with fatal damage, he could not only nullify it entirely but also reflect it back.

Something that shielded him from disaster would probably never come in handy.

Still... there was no way he could let his Older Cousin know any of that.

On the surface, Ye Tian still acted overwhelmed by her favor, holding the Green Pearl Bracer and Divine Spirit Pendant as though he could not bear to put them down.

With a sweet smile, he said to Ye Xinxin, "Thank you for the toys, big sister. I love them."

Watching this, Huang Ruoxi and Su Qinglian were positively green with envy.

Their gazes were full of longing. When had they ever owned toys like these as children? If they had, they probably would not have rested until they had announced it to the whole world.

Sure enough... some people's starting points were the finish lines others spent their entire lives striving toward.

And sometimes... they could never even reach them.

Just then, seemingly having sensed Ye Xinxin's lavish generosity, something stirred.

The system's voice rang out in Ye Tian's mind.

"Ding, ding, ding! The host's Older Cousin has been exceptionally generous. The system feels inferior and is beginning an upgrade."

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade in progress!"

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade successful. Tenfold Rebate Mode unlocked!"

"Tenfold Rebate Mode: Anything the host gives to another person can receive a tenfold return! (Returns will randomly apply to quality or quantity.)"

Ye Tian was momentarily stunned by the system's words.

That damned system had developed an inferiority complex, turned dark, and upgraded again.

What kind of mode was this now? Tenfold Rebate Mode? Anything he gave someone else could yield a tenfold return?

"Ding, ding, ding! As this is the host's first time unlocking this mode, the system rewards the host with one unrestricted return. Even treasures received as gifts from others may trigger a return. (One use only.)"

"Detected that the host's Older Cousin has gifted the host a Green Pearl Bracer and Divine Spirit Pendant. Unrestricted return activated!"

"Host rewarded with: Phoenix Bracer (increases physical strength fifteenfold), Divine Spirit Pendant ×5!"

"Rewards have been placed in the System Space."

Puzzled, Ye Tian asked inwardly, System, what's going on?

Wasn't it supposed to be a tenfold return? Why did I only get a fivefold return? Did you pocket my other fivefold share, System?!

The system had grievances it could not voice and felt utterly miserable, but it still patiently explained.

"Host, your entire Lineage is filthy rich!"

"Do you have any idea how ridiculously powerful those little trinkets your Older Cousin gave you are?"

"They're already rarities in this world. Even invincible experts at the God Sovereign Realm would turn green with envy at the sight of them!"

"So... under the conditions of a tenfold return, these are the best things the system could find for you."

Listening to the system's complaints, Ye Tian inwardly scoffed, Tch. If you can't afford the gifts, don't give them. You're the one who insisted on unlocking the mode.

The system choked into speechless silence. It seemed to have become that useless system again.

"Ding, ding, ding! The system has been provoked!"

"Ding, ding, ding! The system is beginning an upgrade. System upgrade in progress!"

"Ding, ding, ding! System upgrade failed. System upgrade failed."

"Ding, ding, ding! The system refuses to accept defeat. Continuing upgrade..."

Listening to the sounds coming from his mind, Ye Tian could not help marveling. This system's competitive streak was far too strong.

Forget it, forget it. What my Older Cousin gave me is enough. Stop upgrading already.

Ye Tian gently consoled it inwardly, hoping the system would stop making itself miserable.

But that only seemed to ignite the anger within the system.

"The system refuses to accept defeat. Upgrading at full power!"

"Upgrade failed. Still refusing to accept defeat. Continuing upgrade!"

"System upgrading at full power!"
