Gu Yuan slapped his face hard, and the burning pain told him that this was not a dream.
"Sixteen years, a full sixteen years. Do you know how I have been living these years? Why did you come so late?" Gu Yuan sat down on the recliner. The grievances he had accumulated over the past sixteen years were released at this moment. He had been waiting for this moment for a full sixteen years!
After a full half hour of grief, Gu Yuan finally wiped the tears from his face, a hint of excitement showing on his face again. He had to understand his own golden finger.
He tried to call out, with a hint of anticipation and fear: "System brother, are you there?"
"Yes, host."
Although the system's voice was extremely mechanical and cold, Gu Yuan's heart was burning with joy.
"Ahem, um, System, could you please introduce yourself?"
"This system is a pawnshop system. The host can obtain the items they want by mortgaging items. If the host completes the tasks issued by the system, they will also benefit."
"oh?"
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. A pawnshop system? His cheap father had left him a bankrupt pawnshop. Could it be that the father in heaven had appeared?
"What do I need to exchange things for the system?" Gu Yuan asked. Although he had the system, he was still short of starting capital.
"This system is a pawn shop system. The host can choose any item to pawn."
"Any pawn?"
Gu Yuan muttered to himself, this random pawn item is quite extensive, "What does it include?"
"It includes but is not limited to money, skills, spiritual techniques, demon cores and other physical items."
"Tsk, I only have five gold coins, but the rest are only possessed by spiritual cultivators. What should I do?"
"The host can also choose to mortgage items including but not limited to lifespan, luck, etc." Suddenly, the system's cold voice spoke again.
"Fuck!"
Gu Yuan suddenly stood up, startled by the system's words. Lifespan! This guy even took away lifespans?
"Lifespan? Brother System, are you kidding me?"
"The system is designed to serve the host. Please do not doubt the system's service capabilities."
"Damn, if you can even mortgage your life, then what else can't you mortgage?"
“Everything is possible; the system only measures whether it has value.”
"Can the mortgaged items be redeemed?"
Gu Yuan needs to understand the rules of pawning, otherwise he might suffer a great loss.
"No." The system said coldly.
"What the hell? Can't?"
Gu Yuan was speechless. It was understandable to use money as collateral, but what about lifespan?
"That means I can only use physical objects like gold coins as collateral. If I use my life as collateral, I'll probably die before I get the goods, right?"
The system said: "After the host successfully pawns, you can choose to sell your items in any way. The system can help the host collect things like lifespan and luck."
Gu Yuan: “???”
"What do you mean? I can sell something to someone else? Then they'll pay me in lifespans, and you'll help me get those lifespans back?"
"Yes!"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath. If that was the case, wouldn’t he be immortal?
"Really? It's added to me, not taken away by you?" Gu Yuan's throat was a little dry. This was too outrageous!
The system confirmed: "It really works."
Gu Yuan was so excited that he couldn't help himself! He really wanted to find someone to tell him that he had become rich! It was like he had become rich overnight! No, what did he mean by "like he had become rich overnight"? He had become rich overnight!
"By the way, system, help me identify this thing." Gu Yuan picked up the longevity pill left for him by Uncle Xuan on the table. He still didn't know what this thing was called or what it did.
"The host places the item close to the system's companion space ring, and after inserting it, the relevant information can be obtained."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Gu Yuan picked up the jade bottle with his right hand and placed it on the ring on his left hand. A suction force appeared, and the jade bottle turned into a stream of light and disappeared. At the same time, a message appeared in Gu Yuan's mind: "Longevity Pill, a sixth-grade pill. After taking it, you can strengthen your physical fitness and increase your lifespan by ten years. The effects can be combined."
Also appeared: "Healing Pill, a first-grade pill that can quickly heal injuries."
"Huh?"
Before he could get excited or marvel at the magical effects of the Longevity Pill, the information in Gu Yuan's mind suddenly reminded him of the system task he had received before: "Sell 100 healing pills within half a month and the task reward: grant the host a spiritual vein."
Gu Yuan knew about spiritual veins. They were a necessary condition for spiritual practitioners. Without spiritual veins, one could not absorb and transform the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, let alone improve one's cultivation.
"Give me attribute spiritual veins?"
Gu Yuan licked his lips. He had tried to absorb spiritual energy before, but found that his body and spiritual energy had no resonance at all. Therefore, this mission reward confirmed his suspicion that he had no spiritual veins. However, after completing the mission, he would change his fate! Gu Yuan's eyes gradually became fiery.
"By the way, System Brother, I don't need to mortgage anything to accept the task, right?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
"The host does not need to pledge any items to accept the task, and will receive the corresponding rewards after completing the task."
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after getting confirmation from the system. What if this guy secretly took away decades of his life? He wouldn't even have the chance to cry.
"Selling one hundred first-grade healing pills, hehe, this isn't that difficult."
Gu Yuan wanted to laugh. This was clearly a benefit given to him by the system! Outside the Beast Taming City was the Black Demon Mountain Range. Since the establishment of the Beast Taming City, there was a profession that had flourished in the city: mercenary.
