"Tongzi! I almost thought you were dead!"
He hugged himself tightly, his face flushed with excitement. He had no choice, because he didn't know where his system was either.
"Ding, the Martial Soul Awakening has been completed, and the system remnants have been removed. The new functions of the system will now be explained to the host."
"Ding, the system is the most basic transmigration system. The method of transmigration and the worlds that can be transmigrated are determined by the host's strength to prevent the host from being too reckless and getting beaten to death."
"Ding, the system collects the spacetime energy and destiny energy related to all living beings in the universe every moment and converts them into system shop points. Currently, the shop points can be earned by one point per day. The absorption and conversion speed is related to the host's strength: one point for an ordinary person, two points for a genin, four points for a chunin, six points for a jonin, nine points for a kage-level, thirteen points for a super kage, twenty points for a six-path level, and thirty points for a bloodline limit."
"The generation of mall points can only be increased due to the host's strength or system upgrade. Task exchange is temporarily unavailable, and the Fate Interception module is temporarily unavailable."
"Ding! Most items from all realms can be purchased in the system shop. Currently, the main connection is to the world of Douluo."
"Note: You can buy living beings, but they are clones of you, and the clones know everything. The system cannot guarantee 100% loyalty, only a high degree of goodwill. Please think carefully."
"Um, System, can you explain to me what the main connection to the world means?"
"Items mentioned in the Douluo Continent are unlikely to be out of stock..."
"...May I ask if you were born in the Year of the Cat or the Year of the Spot?"
"Ding, mixed-race..."
"Well, I have to say, we're a perfect match..."
A lazy otaku who wants to lie down and relax meets a system that is basically lying down too. It feels quite familiar, and it seems that the two can get along quite well.
As for the specifically mentioned option of purchasing clones of living beings? To be honest, Lin Nian was indeed tempted. After all, there are so many beautiful women in Douluo Continent, it's impossible not to be tempted. But if what he bought was something like 100% loyalty? Would he still dare to trust the system?
Moreover, although they are clones, what truly turned them into clones was their own greed.
Thinking about all this, Lin Nian felt that it was more important to improve her strength first, so she quickly asked again.
"Hey, could you give me some cultivation techniques, secret manuals, or internal energy cultivation methods? You know, even though I'm said to have the bloodline of the Senju clan, if you're not a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, cultivating chakra is like throwing your life away. Besides, my Senju bloodline has been mixed for countless generations."
"Ding, checking the newbie gift pack, ding, no results found, 99% chance of missing. Please awaken your martial spirit first to see the effect."
"Didn't I just awaken my martial spirit? Besides, do you think it's possible that you weren't prepared at all? Hmm?"
The little child hid in the shadows of the orphanage, filled with utter despair over his system. After all, a system that didn't even offer a beginner's gift pack was just too...
"I've already reported the loss of the newbie gift pack. It shouldn't be long before the problem is resolved. Um, why don't you release your martial spirit first?"
The system's tone carried a hint of silent disappointment, but Lin Nian, who felt she should maintain a good relationship with her system, still managed to gather her thoughts and reply.
"Oh well."
He stealthily ran to the boundary between the orphanage and the forest. Looking at the fence that he could not possibly climb over now, Lin Nian remained silent for a moment, then found a secluded corner, sat cross-legged, and stretched out his left hand.
"Calm your mind, focus your attention on your martial spirit, visualize the image of your Blue Silver Grass in your mind, and then control your Blue Silver Grass to absorb the power between heaven and earth to power you..."
The system spoke softly and slowly. Following the guidance, the child slowly closed his eyes and, following his body's instincts, pressed his palms to the ground. One by one, Blue Silver Grasses began to take root and sprout on this planet where such a plant did not exist at all...
Just as Tongzi was looking at the companion it had randomly chosen and was about to say that its luck wasn't that bad, Lin Nian's question almost made it vomit blood.
"So, what should we do next?"
"puff…………"
It was quiet for a long time.
"You're the main character, and I'm the main character?"
"I think with my looks, I should..."
"climb……"
Seeing that Tongzi had been driven offline by his anger, Lin Nian, who felt that she could only rely on herself in everything, finally started the operation she had been doing before. She calmed her mind while meditating on the Blue Silver Grass.
Time passed second by second, and naturally, the Blue Silver Grass officially began to take root on this planet. After silently spreading in the forest, almost imperceptible life energy was also transmitted into Lin Nian's body through each tender Blue Silver Grass.
It was late at night, and perhaps because there were too many war orphans in the orphanage, and the original owner of this body was originally a quiet and reserved person, the orphanage had not yet discovered his disappearance and had not come to look for him.
It's more likely that the people managing the orphanage have become accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, the darkness of Konoha has already penetrated every corner of this behemoth.
Under the bright moonlight and starlight, the already established Blue Silver Grass swayed in the wind, absorbing the gentle moonlight. After leaving behind what it needed to grow, it passed on the essence to its owner through the veins of the Blue Silver Grass.
The life force within the body, which was originally no different from that of a normal child, was nourished by the external life force, and then activated, stimulating the power hidden deep within the bloodline of this body.
Although faint, this energy, different from chakra, was constantly gathering and could indeed attract attention. This allowed Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had finally finished reviewing the documents and whose body was far behind his usual self, to sense these fluctuations through the large barrier connected to this place.
"Did a village ninja accidentally touch the barrier, or did an enemy infiltrate?"
With the Third Shinobi World War having just ended not long ago, and the former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, having recently passed away along with the Fourth Hokage, and the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki being just a kid who couldn't control the Nine-Tails at all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's vigilance was at its highest.
He used a telescope technique to follow the fluctuations coming from the barrier and looked over, then instantly lost in thought.
"Wood Release? Teacher, is it your spirit in heaven that sent this treasure to Konoha?"
Thinking about all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his heart filled with complicated emotions, looked through the telescope at the child surrounded by countless strange vines. The light in his eyes, which had been completely extinguished, seemed to shine a little brighter again.
All of this was completely unknown to Lin Nian, who was now fast asleep and relying entirely on the Blue Silver Grass to provide him with energy to grow stronger.
Even if he knew what happened today, he would still continue like this, because becoming stronger is something that cannot be delayed.
And considering how young he is, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely be willing to give him a chance!
