Chapter 5: Toxic System Opening Gift Pack
Chapter 5: Toxic System Opening Gift Pack
"Brother, are you also from Jinling?" Xiao Yan asked.
Liu Xi pressed his lips together and was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I'm from Sichuan!"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, then he raised his left thumb and said:
"Brother, Sichuan people, this is it!"
Liu Xi took a look, smiled bitterly, and didn't respond.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not continue the topic and finally asked the question he was curious about: "Speaking of which, Brother Liu Xi, how did you know that I was from the Blue Water Planet? Am I so out of tune with the surrounding environment?"
Hearing this, Liu Xi's heart skipped a beat.
He thought to himself that the two of them had been dithering and testing each other for so long, and now the climax was really here.
"That's not the case!" Liu Xi waved his hand and said:
"During the day, you were at the market, calling me and Galio 'trash'. I guessed it! After all, there are no such novel words in this Douqi Continent!"
His reaction was quick. Although he had been prepared in advance, his thoughts flashed like lightning. In just a moment, he came up with this excuse that could explain it away.
Of course, he himself prefers to call this a "white lie."
Hello, me too.
“I see.” Xiao Yan suddenly realized, but then frowned and said, “During the day? Brother Liu Xi, your style of doing things…”
On the opposite side, Liu Xi saw Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changing from gloomy to bright, and he knew what he was thinking. What was he hesitant to say?
He smiled faintly and said:
"If I say that during the day, I am not myself, would you believe me?"
The words fell.
Xiao Yan, who was sitting opposite him, narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak for a long time.
Liu Xi was quite calm about this, because he was telling the truth this time. He had been the master of this body for only four hours at most.
daytime?
At that time, the original owner of the body was still committing suicide!
a long time.
Xiao Yan looked at Liu Xi deeply and said:
"I believe!"
After the two words were uttered, before Liu Xi, who was standing opposite him, could feel relieved, Xiao Yan slowly stood up, then moved his steps to Liu Xi's side, bent down slightly, and lowered his head. He hooked one hand over Liu Xi's shoulder, put his head close and said:
"Brother, I know you may have some secrets that you don't want to tell, but I won't force you. After all, this is the first time we have 'contacted', and it is impossible for us to be honest with each other. But there is still a lot of time to go, and we can slowly increase our trust in each other! There is a long way to go, and right now in this alien world, you are the only compatriot from the Blue Water Planet that I know of!"
After saying these words, Xiao Yan stood up, patted Liu Xi's shoulder gently, then turned around without looking back, with Dou Qi surging from his feet, and leaped towards the window of the room.
"That's right! Brother, the Jialie family is not a place to stay for long. If you are interested, the door of my Xiao family is always open to you!"
Finally, after saying this, Xiao Yan jumped out of the window pane, and his figure blended into the night outside.
……
inside the house.
After Xiao Yan left, Liu Xi let out a long sigh. He felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and he felt weak and powerless.
"Huh...huh..."
He tried hard to endure the severe pain coming from all over his body and took a few deep breaths. When he came to his senses, he found that the surface of his skin under his clothes was already covered with cold sweat that had appeared out of nowhere, especially the part of his back that was leaning on the wooden legs of the bed behind him. The sweat had soaked the clothes on his back. If he took them off and wrung them, he might be able to squeeze out half a cup of water.
"I, Liu Xi... finally survived..."
He tilted his head up as far as he could, facing the ceiling, and smiled at himself.
Thinking back on everything that happened tonight, it was truly more "exciting" than his twenty years of experience on the Blue Water Star, especially the subsequent battle of wits with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao. It was no exaggeration to describe it as full of ups and downs. If he took even the slightest wrong step, he would end up with nothing left but his body destroyed by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
"I just hope that something this 'wonderful' won't happen again." Liu Xi muttered silently to himself.
"However, how many people in the future still remember that the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, who would later dominate the world, was actually a time traveler?"
Once again, Liu Xi felt a little fortunate that he was so familiar with the original work.
Tonight I can say without any compromise that if he hadn't remembered this, he would definitely not escape death. Even if he really knelt down and begged for mercy, with an attitude more humble than the character in the original novel, Xiao Yan would not show any mercy in the end.
But if that was the case, even if he didn't complete the activation task given by the system and let the remaining hours of his life run out bit by bit, he would not be so foolish as to come here and die.
He remained sitting there silently for another half a quarter of an hour.
Make sure there is no other crisis in the house.
Liu Xicai slowly climbed up, then lay down gently on the couch, feeling the pain all over his body and then relaxing and being wrapped in softness.
Of course, this kind of "wonderfulness" is far from comparable to the great relief and joy of surviving the disaster.
Enjoying the delicate touch under him, Liu Xi gradually moved away after a long while. He certainly would not admit that he pressed on the maid with her spring scenery exposed for such a while to test whether she was pretending to be unconscious or really unconscious, not for just... enjoyment...
Fortunately, he had already figured it out with the soul perception that he could barely muster as a first-grade alchemist.
This woman was truly in a coma, and the extent of her coma was beyond his imagination. He believed that she would not wake up before dawn.
This can actually be seen from another aspect, that Xiao Yan sometimes really has no intention of being gentle with women.
How cruel and ruthless!
But then again, although the maid on the couch is somewhat pretty, she is undoubtedly not good enough in front of Xiao Xun'er, or even Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei from the Xiao family.
This can’t be blamed on Emperor Yan.
He calmed himself down, lay on the couch and slowly closed his eyes. Only then did Liu Xi have time to calm down and think about and study the system in his mind.
"System...are you there?" He first tried calling out in his mind.
however.
This attempt did not cause any change in my mind.
This? ? ?
"System? System! System, where are you? System, please come out! System, don't scare me! System..."
After a somewhat exaggerated shouting, Liu Xi said that he was confused.
He even suspected that this system was imitating himself by taking the Turtle Breath Pill to pretend to be dead.
This guy really puts his knowledge into practice, doesn’t he?!
After calling out in his mind for a long time, there was still no response, and Liu Xi became a little discouraged.
Is the system playing tricks on him? Or is it playing tricks on him?
"Damn it! You're pushing me to the limit...eh?"
After cursing loudly, Liu Xi opened his eyes in frustration. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that... he was still too young!
The other person's system did not appear in his mind at all, but was directly manifested as a virtual panel the size of a computer screen that only he could see and control.
Good guy!
Doesn't the current system play by the rules?
Or is it that his thinking has failed to keep up with the times?
The anger that had just risen in his heart disappeared when he saw the virtual panel. Liu Xi was shocked and stared at the virtual panel while complaining.
All I saw was a string of scarlet numbers in a prominent position on the virtual panel that caught my eye at first glance?
The tail of the string of numbers is constantly changing as time goes by.
One breath passed.
Two breaths passed.
Three breaths passed...
"Fuck!" Liu Xi couldn't help but curse. He had obviously realized that this might be the rest of his life.
He took a look and found that his life span currently remained at one year, one month and eight hours, less than half a quarter of an hour?
Well, he already knew about his remaining lifespan when the system was turned on.
but!
Knowing is one thing, but when your life span is laid out clearly before you, and you watch it disappear bit by bit, a huge fear wells up in your heart.
Feeling the cold air rising from the soles of his feet, Liu Xi felt that his whole body was cold.
The mind that had just relaxed a little after surviving the disaster was once again tense at this moment, and his whole body seemed to be covered by a terrifying haze.
Boom!
Boom!
thump...
He could even feel his own heartbeat very clearly at this moment!
He realized that for a long time to come, his body and mind would probably be shrouded in the scarlet haze of fear!
Until that string of numbers reaches zero...and you are free?
"No! I want to live! I want to keep living! I finally survived a disaster and came to this world to be reborn! How can I just accept my fate like this!!!"
Liu Xi sat up on the couch. The impact of the surging emotions in his heart completely overwhelmed the pain coming from various parts of his body.
Bloodshot covered the entire white of his eyeballs at some point, his eyes were round and bright, and the blue veins and blood vessels on his neck were more prominent because of the boiling blood in his body, making him look extremely ferocious!
"Live...live! I must live!" His upper and lower lips kept trembling, and he kept repeating the three words "live".
This is Liu Xi’s obsession!
The obsession from a person who has died once!
"Yes! Main quests! Check out the main quests! The main quests can increase your lifespan!"
Liu Xi used his eyes, which were bloodshot and faintly glowing with red light, to hurriedly search for the "task" column on the virtual panel.
Soon, his bloodshot eyes caught sight of the long column about the mission.
At this moment, there is only one main quest in that column: [Every time you preach, teach, or answer questions for a fighter, your life span will be extended by one day!]
[Note: If the person you are teaching, receiving instruction from, or answering questions for is a fighting master, then the corresponding life span will be extended by five times that of the person teaching the fighting master. Similarly, for each subsequent level, the corresponding life span will be extended by five times that of the previous level!]
[Note: If the person you are teaching, receiving instruction from, or answering questions for is someone with good fortune in this world, the reward will be calculated separately! ]
"Teaching, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts? I'm just a six-star fighter now, what else can I teach others? Teaching? Imparting knowledge? Resolving doubts? For the time being, I don't need to think about the first two. Maybe I can consider the last one, resolving doubts?"
Liu Xi barely suppressed his emotions that were about to collapse.
Suddenly.
He looked at the virtual panel and suddenly his eyes lit up. He was confused by the string of bloody numbers and forgot that he had completed the system activation task issued by the system, but he got the system activation gift package!
He stretched out his finger and poked the orange-red electronic gift package in the lower right corner of the panel.
When his finger touched the panel, the interface of the panel area changed interactively.
[Please confirm whether to open the gift package! ]
【Click to confirm】
"Confirm!" Liu Xi clicked his finger.
Then, a bright white light appeared in a small area of the panel.
The gift package... was opened by him.
He also saw the contents of the gift package after it was opened in the "Props·Items" column through the virtual panel.
It seems that there are too many things opened, and the first page of the props and items column is half filled up.
"My goodness! How can this be called a system activation gift package? It's clearly a novice gift package in disguise, isn't it?"
After just a quick glance at the things on it, Liu Xi felt like his eyes were about to pop out!
Then he noticed that his cheek below the corner of his mouth seemed a little wet?
So he wiped it with his hand.
Slimy...
Well, he admitted that he was drooling without paying attention.
Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise it would be really... embarrassing.

……
After spending about half a cup of tea, Liu Xi carefully looked through the things he had opened from the gift package. His expression gradually became strange, and he even looked a little constipated...
It must be said that the first two seventh-grade peak-level pills had already given him a huge shock!
Continuing to read on, the Great Fighter Experience Card made countless thoughts flash through his mind in an instant. If this thing was used well and applied to the blade, it would be quite extraordinary!
But when Liu Xi saw the invisible mask, he felt that among the many items in the gift package, this one was the one that was most suitable for him!
What a good thing! ! !
Is there anything more suitable for him, Liu Xi, than this?
The chance copy card also shocked him, thinking that this system was incredible! It even had something like this?
Isn’t this too... what?
However, when his gaze continued to move down and caught a glimpse of the last three items, he really... lost his mind!
Is this system poisonous?
