Wong Wing-fat World
After Ah Suet left, Wong Wing-fat opened a yellow paper shop and ran it all by himself.
As soon as Lin Yu (number six) landed, he smelled the smoky aroma of incense and paper ash.
Wong Wing-fat was squatting at the door burning paper money when he saw a beam of white light fall, revealing Lin Yu's face. He immediately went to greet him.
"Brother Lin, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
But as soon as his hand touched Lin Yu's arm, his face darkened, and he withdrew his hand, rubbing his fingertips together.
His face full of surprise. "Wait a minute, Brother Lin, how come your aura is even cleaner than mine, a mere mortal? You don't have a trace of cultivation?"
Over the past few years, Wong Wing-fat has learned some spells from the group. Although he has not yet achieved the Great Dao, he can still discern the aura of cultivators.
Lin Yu (Number Six) explained with a smile, "Brother Fa, I am an avatar of the main body. The main body sent us out to search for the Five Elements Treasures, and we may have to stay here with you for eight years."
"Eight years?" Wong Wing-fat's voice suddenly rose.
"You're really willing to spend points. Since you're already here, stay at my shop for now."
Wong Wing-fat took Lin Yu (number six) in even though he was just an ordinary person with nothing.
Yan Lingji World
Lin Yu (Number Seven) landed on the shore of a vast, misty lake. The lake water shimmered with light. On a stone platform not far away, a beautiful figure in red sat by the water. It was Yan Lingji.
Upon hearing the sound, Yan Lingji turned around, her fiery eyes landing on Lin Yu.
"Young Master Lin looks just like I remember him, but... after all these years, he's become like a worldly young master."
Sensing that the person before her had no cultivation whatsoever, Yan Lingji spoke, and the flames on her fingertips that were gently stroking Lin Yu's cheek subsided slightly, as if afraid of hurting him.
Lin Yu (Number Seven) raised his hand to gently block her fingertips and said in a gentle voice, "Miss Yan Lingji, I am an avatar of the main body. I have come here to seek the Five Elements Treasures and will need to trouble you for eight years."
"Hmph, you really only sent an ordinary person like yourself?" Yan Lingji couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Although this desolate land is rich in rare treasures, it is also ravaged by war. How can you, a mere mortal, possibly seize such treasures from it?"
It wasn't that Yan Lingji was mocking him; if Lin Yu himself had come, she probably wouldn't have thought much of it. But given the cultivation level of the person before her, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
"You don't need to worry about that, young lady. I'm just an avatar; I don't know anything about the main body's layout."
"Since you are only a mortal, young master, come back to the palace with me. With me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you. It will also be a good opportunity to see how you, a mere mortal, can forge your own path in this chaotic world."
Since Lin Yu was confident in sending a mortal to another world to search for treasure, she also wanted to see if this would be successful.
Along the way, he couldn't resist teasing, "Young master, you must be careful in the valley. All the disciples in our valley are curious about this handsome young master from outside."
Zhang Sanfeng World
As soon as Lin Yu (number eight) landed, he felt the overwhelming sword intent.
On an open space not far away, Zhang Sanfeng, dressed in a coarse Daoist robe, sat cross-legged, the sword in front of him emitting bursts of sword sounds.
He exuded an air of otherworldly grace.
Zhang Sanfeng opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, his gaze falling on Lin Yu. He first nodded and smiled, then his figure flashed and he was in front of him.
"It is truly an honor for me that Fellow Daoist Lin has the time to visit my world."
He pulled Lin Yu toward the bamboo hut, saying as they walked, "Isn't my Mount Wudang nice? Let me show you around."
The world that followed was just like what had happened before; everyone consciously accepted Lin Yu's clone.
Only the Number Twelve clone went to the world of the Sign-In System.
The Nightscape in Jiangcheng was as dark as ink, with skyscrapers piercing the clouds. A faint smell of blood lingered in the air, and occasionally, martial artists at the Qi Refining Realm could be seen hurrying along the streets.
Inside an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, the stench of blood mixed with the smell of rust filled the air. Zhao Yan, holding a cold blade, kicked aside the corpse of the last pursuer and sat down, panting heavily, leaning against the broken wall.
He was thin, with sinister eyes and a flat, unmarked Adam's apple. He was dressed in a black, tight-fitting outfit, his knuckles white from gripping the knife hilt so tightly, and he began to curse again.
"Damn this system! I checked in at the West City Martial Arts School today and all I got was a packet of Body Tempering Powder? Last time I was ambushed by the Black Wind Hall, my check-in reward was a piece of foot binding cloth!"
Suddenly, a mechanical voice, devoid of emotion yet harboring a hint of cunning, rang in his mind.
[Host has been detected to harbor resentment, triggering a hidden bonus - 1 Supreme Lottery Ticket. Unlimited prizes, you can draw from all things in the universe. Draw now?]
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, then he spat out, "You fucking screwed me over again! Last time I drew a peerless divine weapon, but it turned out to be someone else's martial arts school's prized possession, and I've been chased down ever since."
"If you mess with me again, I'll find a martial Great Grandmaster and self-destruct, taking your damn system down with me!"
Despite his cursing, he gritted his teeth and said, "Smack!"
[Giveaway begins]
[Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Mysterious Visitor from All Heavens]
As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding white light suddenly exploded in the center of the factory. After the light dissipated, Lin Yu (Number Twelve) landed steadily.
As soon as Lin Yu regained his footing, he smelled a strong stench of blood and violence, and his brows immediately furrowed.
He's just an ordinary person. His original self really messed things up, sending him to this unreliable Sign-In System world is practically sending him to his death!
"Damn system! What is this thing you drew?" Zhao Yan suddenly stood up, his cold blade pointing directly at Lin Yu.
Zhao Yan's sinister gaze swept over Lin Yu. Seeing that he was dressed plainly and had a handsome face, but his aura was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, not even reaching the most basic Body Tempering Realm, Zhao Yan's anger immediately surged.
"What I want are treasures from all the heavens, divine weapons, elixirs, cultivation techniques—anything goes! Just send me a mortal to make up the numbers!"
Lin Yu Number Twelve raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over Zhao Yan's flat throat, then over the twisted and resentful look in his eyes.
He instantly understood most of it, and inwardly sighed that this Sign-In System was indeed unreliable, having tricked both him and the host.
In Zhao Yan's mind, the mechanical voice of the Sign-In System was still pretending to be dead.
[The item drawn by the host is a visitor from all heavens, falling within the category of all things; the reward is valid.]
"Effective my ass!" Zhao Yan shouted angrily, kicking over the iron bucket next to him.
Zhao Yan was an orphan; he wasn't actually Zhao Yan before.
When he was starving to death under the bridge, the system contacted him and gave him a copy of the "Sunflower Manual".
This secret manual gave him the strength to live, and after that night, he changed his name to Zhao Yan.
At night, he would dress in black and rob various martial arts schools, while during the day he would continue living the life of an ordinary person.
Having experienced the convenience that power brings and gone through life and death, Zhao Yan only believed in power.
Perhaps it was the eunuch that warped his mind, or perhaps it was death, but his behavior always revealed a sense of madness.
He believed that with absolute power, he could rule over everything.
Zhao Yan's curses grew increasingly fierce, his anger surging, and his blood and qi were agitated, clearly indicating that all the pent-up frustration of the past few years had been building up at this moment.
"You said the Sunflower Manual was an unparalleled martial art, but after I mastered it to the Grandmaster Realm, I couldn't advance any further because of my flawed foundation. Now you're trying to kill me with an ordinary person? Are you trying to make me die even faster?!"
Lin Yu listened quietly, and only spoke slowly after the man's scolding subsided slightly, "Hello, my name is Lin Yu, and I am the traveler from the heavens that you selected."
After listening for a while, Lin Yu understood the situation.
It must be that the Sign-In System tricked Zhao Yan out of his reward again, using him to make up the difference.
Looking at the insane man before him, Lin Yu did not reveal his true identity, but instead acted with Zhao Yan using the fake identity given to him by the system.
