Chapter 701 Talent Awakening

"Ding——"

"Name: Li You, Citizen Number: gsiwj42569..., currently living in the four-dimensional space of the first universe, the Othello Great Cluster, to Pluto..."

"Age: 18, you are an adult. According to Article 34 of Section 7 of the Code of Life, you are now undergoing the talent awakening procedure. Please keep your mind relaxed. The awakening begins!"

"drop!"

"Awakened successfully! Talent category: system. Core abilities: appreciation, absorbing the breath of time to strengthen the host, other unknown."

"Rating: f, Growth potential: very low."

"The talent awakening process is over. Citizens, please work hard to practice. According to Article 1, Section 1 of the Code of Life, you will be required to serve on the battlefield after you reach 10,000 years old..."

Hahahaha! Hahahaha!

Li You, this loser, actually awakened such a rubbish talent, he is dead! Humph! Li You, you are the shame of the empire, the most rubbish existence since the founding of Tiankui Academy, you don't deserve to be here, why don't you just die?

Do you still want to live ten thousand years later?

Trash! You don't even have the qualifications to enter the battlefield! ...

“Hoo! Hoo—”

Li You woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, his whole body drenched in cold sweat. The mocking laughter and pointing figures in the dream twisted and stretched in his mind, lingering like a nightmare.

"Having a nightmare again?"

Snap!

His tense expression relaxed slightly, and he fell down weakly, burying his body deeply in the soft quilt, as if this way he could temporarily escape the cruel reality.

After a moment of decadence, Li You straightened his body and suddenly bounced out from the body. His speed was so fast that he left a long trail of afterimages and landed steadily in the training room.

"Intelligent brain, start gravity load training."

Li You's expression was stern, with a look of determination between his eyebrows, which was hard to associate with the image of him who was sweating profusely from the nightmare just now.

"Ding! Gravity one hundred times, turn on!"

The atmosphere in the dark training room suddenly became heavy. Li You's upright body paused, and after stretching his hands and feet, he began to practice boxing, his speed getting faster and faster, gradually so fast that his dancing shadow could no longer be seen.

"Five hundred times the gravity..."

"Gravity is a thousand times stronger..."

Boom! Clang——

A straight punch was thrown out, piercing the alloy-forged dummy. The gap was melted into scarlet molten iron by the hot kinetic energy.

"Weak! Too weak! With such strength, you are not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield!"

"Waste, waste!?"

"If possible, why would I, Li You, want to be a waste that is despised by others?"

Li Youan sighed to himself, and his hot and red skin cooled down. After some exercise, the depression in his heart was slightly relieved.

He walked out of the training room, poured cheap nutrient solution into his mouth, his eyes filled with thought, thinking about how to find a way out.

"Master, the intelligent brain Xiaoyou reminds you that the energy crystals in the training room are about to run out. Please replenish them as soon as possible!"

Bitterness flashed in Li You's eyes. He could hardly afford even this most rubbish training facility. Alas, the root of everything was still the talent system. This money-eating beast was really causing great harm to people.

"I see."

After drinking the nutrient solution, Li You changed into clean clothes and prepared to go out.

"Master, today is your thousandth birthday. May you have a pleasant day!"

A thousand years old?

Li You pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a stiff smile. What a considerate intelligent computer, it always reminded him how much time he had left to live.

"Thank you so much, Xiaoyou!"

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

'System Task: Please find an ancient artifact before sunset and absorb its breath of time. If you fail, 100 years will be deducted.'

'Year value balance: 1200.'

Li You looked at the system panel with a frown on his face. This was something he had to worry about every day. This crappy system was constantly urging him to make money and then buy antiques.

He once tried to give up, but the price was that after the time value was deducted to a negative number, his life began to be deducted. 100 years value means 100 days of life, and every other day, the deducted value will increase tenfold.

Although, even ordinary people who don't practice cultivation can have a lifespan of 10,000 years, they still can't stand such a reduction.

Li You shook his head, and with a thought, a light screen appeared in his mind. This is the portable auxiliary intelligent brain that everyone has. Its main body is the "quantum wave state", which is implanted into the consciousness of every citizen by the imperial officials when they are born.

It has various functions, including identity information recognition, transaction savings, food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are all inseparable from it.

"Less than 50,000 credits left."

Looking at the number on the balance, a trace of sadness flashed in Li You's eyes. These credit points were the pension his parents exchanged for their lives, and they were almost all wasted by him.

"Father, Mother..."

Li You murmured softly, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and his gaze became more and more determined.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"I must become a strong man! Survive on the battlefield! Earn endless credit points!"

"This way, you can buy a spot for resurrection at the Spacetime Administration!"

The power of family affection rekindled Li You's fighting spirit. In order to revive his parents, he was willing to give everything.

'Host! Please find the ancient artifact as soon as possible!'

"I know, stop being long-winded!"

He cursed under his breath, quickened his pace, and walked into the towering building not far away.

Imperial Bank!

"Hello, sir. What business do you want to handle?"

"loan!"

"This is the land number, including the manor above, and the exploration certificate of the purple gold vein underground. How much can I borrow in total?"

The bank staff smiled formally, did some operations, and after a moment of verification, said, "Mr. Li, after evaluation, your assets can be loaned a total of 2 million credit points. Would you like to process it?"

"good!"

Li You thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. This had already met his psychological expectations.

Soon, after completing the procedures, two million credit points were transferred to the account.

Li You swallowed and tightly grasped the invitation ticket to the "Starry Sky Auction House" that he had obtained with great difficulty, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.

He didn't want to continue living in this muddle-headed state, so he decided to give it a try, even at the cost of mortgaging all the inheritance left by his parents.

An hour later, an auction was held in the depths of the starry sky, gathering countless treasures. Only in such a place could his system shine.

Antiquities do not mean that things that have existed for a long time can be called antiques. If it is really that simple, wouldn't antiques everywhere be swallowed by the system? Then he would have taken off long ago! After these years of exploration, I have a good understanding of the system. The so-called antiques are the personal belongings of the strong. They are more or less stained with the breath and will of the strong. Only such things can be swallowed and converted into years.

The system still has a big limitation. He must own the antique before he can absorb its aura. It is this pitfall that forces Li You to pay a huge price to buy the antique.

It is very difficult to find a bargain. With the development of civilization to this point, all kinds of unimaginable instruments can accurately distinguish the nature and origin of things, almost completely eliminating the possibility of him finding a bargain.

At least, in the antique trading places on this planet, it is difficult to encounter things that cannot be identified by instruments.

Therefore, he set his sights on those large auctions. In such high-end trading venues, in addition to various rare treasures, there are also things whose origins cannot even be determined by instruments.

This is where the system should go.

Instead of staying in this small place picking up junk.

"It all depends on this one move."

Li You calmed himself down, boarded the interstellar train, and leapt towards the Starry Sky Auction House.
