Chapter 22 Rewards from the Garbage System

Chapter 22 Rewards from the Garbage System

After seeing off the four demon kings, Wen Rui, who was drunk, came to the research room on the eighteenth floor underground in the Jinling Sect's cave. He pressed the control bracelet to activate the cave's automatic defense system, and then opened the system panel.

"Host name: Wen Rui
Character Ability Template: Tony Stark

Ability list: 1. Genius inventor. 2. Level intelligence.

Task List:

1. Conferred Gods Victory, Jiejiao Rise (Failure)
Failure penalty: Get a 7-hour experience card of Hell every 2 days until the next mission is successful.

2. Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, the revival of Jiejiao (in progress)

Failure conditions: 1. The host dies. 2. Jiejiao disappears.

Penalty for failure: permanent residence in the hell.

System prompt: Today is the effective date of the experience card. Please make full preparations in advance and manually start the experience of the hell. (The task progress is slow, and there is no exemption authority this time)"

The system panel is so simple, there is nothing else except these text messages.

Wen Rui also sighed. He was also a system-based traverser, but his system seemed to have a bug. The biggest problem was, where was the reward panel? Or did he fail the last mission too easily, and it was GAME OVER without getting any rewards?
There will be no system sound response when you call the system. As for chatting and bargaining with the system, it is just a dream because the system will not pay any attention to you.

The panel has clearly and concisely told you: If you give up and commit suicide, you will go to the hell of endless suffering; if you are passive and lazy, the 7-hour hell of endless suffering once every 2 days will make you regret being born as a human being.

There was nothing remarkable about Wen Rui before he traveled through time. To put it bluntly, he was just a lucky guy who was slacking off at work and reading novels when he saw a pop-up window asking "Do you want to truly live? Yes/No?" and he accidentally clicked "Yes".

As a result, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Shang Dynasty. His soul possessed the only son of Master Wen, who had just been born, and he was forcibly possessed by this inexplicable system.

During the Conferred God Tribulation, Wen Rui had worked very hard on his mission, and he gritted his teeth and followed his cheap father Wen Taishi to work as a repairman for the Shang Dynasty. With the advantages of a time traveler with modern memory and extensive reading (in some novels), he really helped Wen Taishi a lot in managing politics, the army, and logistics.

Wen Rui, known as "Little Grand Tutor" in the court, rose to the position of Grand Engineer. He developed production, provided relief to the people's livelihood, and eliminated bad policies, which greatly boosted the increasingly declining court. He presided over the construction of the Lu Terrace and the Wine Pool and Meat Forest without harming the people's strength or violating the will of Heaven. He enjoyed a very good reputation among the people and could be regarded as the new generation of wise ministers who revived the Shang Dynasty after Wen Zhong.

Wen Rui, known as the "Little Military God" by the military, served as the military commander and military advisor, in charge of logistics and as the chief of staff, providing great help to his father in suppressing the rebellion in Beihai and sending troops to Xiqi. In the battle of Juelongling, when his cheap father died, it was Wen Rui who stepped forward to stabilize the army's morale, set up an ambush and killed the Zhou army that underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, killing them in a river of blood and corpses everywhere, and destroying most of the Zhou army's manpower, so that when King Wu marched to Chaoge, there were almost no soldiers available.

It's just that he felt a little frustrated during those years of practicing with Master Wen under the tutelage of the Golden Spirit Mother, and was called "the most useless disciple in the history of Jiejiao" and "a mortal among thousands of immortals". His father could fight against a golden immortal alone after fifty years of practice, but he could not make it through the Qi training period after five hundred years of practice. His talent for practice is extremely poor, and it is very likely a bug caused by the system mistakenly applying the Iron Man template.

If there had been no interference from gods and Buddhas, the Wen father and son could have joined forces to overturn the battle for supremacy between the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Unfortunately, after the defeat of the Jiejiao in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Shang Dynasty was doomed and the situation was hopeless. Wen Rui, a mere mortal, could not withstand the gods and Buddhas no matter how clever he was. He could only accept the fact that his mission had failed and disguised himself as a village woman to slip away among the fleeing people.

Because Wen Rui caused too much damage to King Wu's campaign against King Zhou, the royal court of the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted him for a full hundred years. In order to catch him, they even set fire to the mountains and forced to death two of his old friends, Boyi and Shuqi, who were harboring him.

What is coming will come, and it is time to endure the punishment of the Hell Experience Card. Wen Rui pressed the control button in the laboratory with an expressionless face, and a metal chair rose from the ground, and several monitoring instruments also rose at the same time.

A wheeled chassis robot slid out from the robot base cabinet in the laboratory, came in front of Wen Rui and entered standby mode.

Wen Rui took out the Demon-Protecting Sword from his bag and placed it on a mechanical bracket beside him. The bracket flipped and folded to hold the sword body, and extended many suction cups and probes to connect with the Demon-Protecting Sword.

"Jarvis, prepare to start the 104th Infernal Escape Experiment. Report on the status of the test equipment."

"Okay, sir. The health monitoring equipment is normal, the brain wave monitoring equipment is normal, and the spiritual energy monitoring equipment is normal... The Demon-Protecting Sword has been connected to the network. It has been detected that the frequency of the consciousness aggregate emitted by the Demon-Protecting Sword is close to the frequency of the mental power fluctuations observed when the gate to the Pure Land of Bliss was opened. The restraint chair is operating normally..."

Wen Rui sat on a metal chair. The buckle noose that automatically popped out of the chair held him firmly in place, and various wires and probes were inserted into his body.

"System, activate the Infernal Hell experience card!"

As the command was issued, Wen Rui's eyes rolled back and his body twitched violently with astonishing force. The heart rate and brain wave lines displayed on the health monitor nearby fluctuated violently, far beyond the limit that ordinary people could withstand.

Soon he fell silent, and his heart rate and brain wave lines turned into a straight line. The health status monitor issued a beeping alarm, indicating that the monitored subject had fallen into an absolute state of death with both his heart and brain dead.

The mental power and spiritual energy monitors next to it began to record. The robot controlled the panel in front of the "Demon-Protecting Sword" bracket. The Demon-Protecting Sword emitted a faint golden light, and the light gathered on the robot's head under the guidance of the wires.

The bionic mouth on the robot head chanted: "Thus I have heard, once the Buddha was in Trayastrimsa Heaven, preaching to his mother. At that time, all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas from the innumerable worlds in the ten directions, countless in number, came to the assembly..."

What is being chanted is the Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which can purify one's karma and increase blessings and merits. Chanting sincerely, contemplating the merits of the Bodhisattva, and imitating the Bodhisattva's conduct. Most importantly, it can help one transcend the enemies, relatives, and creditors of many lifetimes, freeing them from suffering and attaining happiness, and ultimately achieving liberation.

Connected to the Demon-Protecting Sword and importing the Buddha's power contained in the meritorious spiritual treasure, the robot, at this moment, transformed from a high-tech Buddhist chanting machine into a virtuous monk at the same level as Fashan, truly making the Buddhist scriptures possess extraordinary magical effects.

"In the future, if gods or humans fall into the evil realms according to the retribution of their karma, or are about to fall into the evil realms or at the gates of those realms, if those living beings can recite the name of a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, a sentence, a stanza, or a Mahayana sutra, you should use your divine power to conveniently rescue them. At that person's place, manifest your boundless body, break the hells, and send them to heaven to enjoy wonderful bliss."

……

Time passed minute by minute as he chanted Buddhist scriptures. Various monitoring instruments kept collecting data, but Wen Rui did not react at all. It was not until the 2-hour countdown showed 0 that he suddenly opened his eyes like a drowning man being rescued, his chest heaving violently, and he gasped for breath.

The heartbeat and brain waves on the health monitor recovered, but the fluctuations in the lines were still extremely intense, not at all within the normal range.

The metal chair was not untied. Wen Rui seemed to have lost his mind when he woke up. His pupils could not focus and he began to struggle violently. It was not until a long time later that he gradually collapsed due to exhaustion.

After a long time, his dilated pupils slowly focused, and he was extremely exhausted. He said weakly, "The experiment failed. Even with the help of the Buddha treasure, I can't save myself. Screen and analyze the collected data stream. I want to see the analysis report in one hour."

The restraints on the metal chair were untied at the same time. Wen Rui sat and rested for a while before slowly getting up and opening the system panel again.

One of the messages on the panel has changed: "System prompt: The 2-hour experience card of the hell has ended. The next experience day is 6 days, 22 hours, 15 minutes and 47 seconds away. The task progress has achieved a 1% breakthrough, and you will get achievement rewards. Please click to start selecting prizes." Wen Rui sighed, ruffled his messy hair, took out a portable metal wine flask from his arms, took two sips of strong liquor, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "The design of the hell of hell in the West is really something. I have experienced it nearly times in the past years. After each experience, I wanted to die, but death can't put an end to everything. There is nothing worse than death!"

Thinking back to the time when he had the best chance of escaping from suffering, Wen Rui still feels hatred building in his teeth.

He served the grandfather and grandson very well. Xiao Mo had clearly asked Lao Rui to help him disable the system, and Lao Rui had promised solemnly.

As a result, he was played so badly by these two beasts that they turned around and opened the portal and ran away, leaving Wen Rui with a confused look on his face.

The 2 hours of the experience card are two hours in the mortal world, while in the Avici Hell, "there is no interval of suffering, no interval of body, no interval of time, and no interval of form." With the sense of time confused, one second is no different from a lifetime.

The torture of being in the hell of endless suffering is indescribable. Only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrifying it is.

The Avici Hell will experience all the sufferings that human individuals have ever experienced. Even some tortures that only exist in imagination and unimaginable forms of pain can often refresh the cognition of sinful spirits in the Avici Hell.

This is what is called "Kuni no Jian".

In comparison, for Wen Rui, if one could achieve eternal silence after death, it would be like a person suffering from insomnia finally being able to sleep peacefully. It would be a very peaceful and happy thing.

Every time Wen Rui woke up from hell, he felt as if he was in another world. When he thought about having to endure the same torture seven days later, he would have committed suicide to get rid of it if death could end it all!
"Oh, right, I must track Fashan's progress in his practice after reincarnation. If he can successfully attain the status of an Arhat and rescue the fox girl from the Avici Hell, I will immediately go to his house and demand a favor in return, forcing him to help me escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Western monks attach great importance to cause and effect. If I help him succeed, he must help me succeed!"

"Hey, wait, I seem to have overlooked something when I just glanced at it..."

Wen Rui muttered as he opened the system panel again. Sure enough, he saw the achievement reward selection page at the end of the system prompt.

Wen Rui burst into tears on the spot. Oh, heaven and earth, after five hundred years, this rubbish system finally knows how to give a sweet reward after a beating!
We all thought that the reward panel that never appeared turned out to be something that didn’t really exist!
His mood at this moment was just like Sun Wukong just jumping out of the Five Elements Mountain and peeing for the first time while standing. How refreshing and wonderful it was!

This is the best way to achieve sweet success after suffering a lot of hardships. It proves that the system is not just a useless decoration. There is a little hope of completing the task.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Wen Rui carefully clicked on the highlighted word "select". After clicking it, a selection page popped up with three option bars on it.

They are:
1. Positron cannon technology: A positron cannon is a weapon that uses positrons as ammunition and utilizes the annihilation between electrons when reacting with electrons in the target's constituent material to destroy the target.

2. Advanced Nanotechnology: In the nano Iron Man armor technology, further strengthen the basic structural unit of the nanorobot, reduce the microscopic scale of the unit, improve controllability, increase the types of nanocomponents and control distance.

3. Protective force field technology: A strong electromagnetic field will form a short-term force field shield. The defense targets include but are not limited to metal projectiles, and the effect against energy attacks is relatively weak.

It was not beyond Wen Rui's expectations. As expected, there was no reward option related to cultivating immortals. This broken system was obviously not compatible with the current world, but it was better than nothing. These rewards could not be said to be bad, but he had to consider them carefully before making any plans.

First, we need to rule out the protective force field. As you can see from the introduction, this thing has limited effects. At most, it can block flying swords, and it has little effect on the five elements spells, curses, and poisons.

If he had to choose between the positron cannon and the nano advancement, Wen Rui would prefer the nano advancement.

The introduction of the positron cannon sounds very powerful, as if it can destroy everything in seconds, but this may not be the case in the prehistoric world.

The yin and yang attributes of a high-level cultivator's body are unpredictable and changeable, so it is too easy to find a way to crack an attack with a single attribute. Perhaps a sneak attack could kill a few cultivators who were caught off guard, but as long as this trick was exposed and studied by others, it might no longer work.

Wen Rui has already obtained the technology of nano Iron Man armor from the Iron Man template. Now that he has obtained the advanced technology, he will be even more powerful.

The advantage of nanotechnology is its wide applicability. After upgrading, if the functions of nano units are no longer limited to constructing armor components, they will be ever-changing and have endless uses.

Having made up his mind, Wen Rui clicked on "Nano Advanced Technology". The moment he made the choice, countless information poured into his brain. Fortunately, his brain had undergone a secondary development when loading the Iron Man template, otherwise this amount of information would have killed a large number of underdeveloped brain cells.

After first going through the torture of hell and then completing the technical information initiation, even an iron man could not bear it. Wen Rui simply collapsed to the ground, lying flat on his back, and drank wine mouthful by mouthful, using this method to numb his nerves and relax himself.

Although he could not practice for five hundred years, Wen Rui did not dare to waste time. Relying on the super hands-on ability given by the Iron Man template, he built the infrastructure brick by brick. The underground base of the Jinling Sect where he is now is the result of five hundred years of construction.

This Jinling Sect base has a total of 32 underground floors. The first ten floors are the administrative and living areas, the tenth to twentieth floors are the R&D areas, the twentieth to thirtieth floors are the production areas, the thirty-first floor is the underground mausoleum, and the thirty-second floor is the energy center and waste disposal center.

For security reasons, two other underground secret bases far away from the base also have underground weapons testing sites and new energy research and development centers.

The research and development area has an armor laboratory, a weapons laboratory, a vehicle laboratory, a biochemical laboratory, a gene modulation laboratory, an applied physics laboratory, a spiritual power research center, a magic weapon laboratory, a spiritual plant laboratory, a spiritual medicine laboratory, and a heavenly way, chance, cause and effect, merit and rule laboratory.

The production area is equipped with a 3D printing center, an automatic smelting plant, a material synthesis center, an intelligent processing center, a smart hydroponic farm, a food factory, a robot assembly plant, an armor assembly plant, a comprehensive military factory, and a nano-particle manufacturing plant.

The large palladium reactor array on the 32nd floor provides energy for the entire base.

The first hundred years were extremely difficult, as all tools had to be made by hand, and they also had to avoid being hunted by the Western Zhou royal court. Progress was extremely slow, and apart from winning over some refugees from the fallen Shang Dynasty, they really didn't achieve any results.

The first time the construction speed increased significantly was after meeting Senior Blue Hair, from whom he received the blessing of black technology.

That senior was a talented person who could build a huge human race screening factory on a desolate planet with his daughter in just a few days. Even if he leaked some of his black technology, it would be enough for Wen Rui to benefit from it.

The second time was when Jarvis was created. Intelligent robots began to be mass-produced. AI-assisted robots can self-produce and self-maintain, so Wen Rui no longer needed to do many things himself. The development of the base then entered the fast lane.

Having accumulated such a huge fortune, if there were no interference from the gods in heaven, it would be easy for him to lead the Ultron Army to defeat the mortal army and change the dynasty by himself.

But the problem is that this world is filled with gods and Buddhas, demons and monsters, and countless extraordinary people, any one of whom can crush the naked Wen Rui to death with just one finger.

Wen Rui had no choice but to lie dormant and devote himself to studying supernatural beings such as spirits, immortals, gods, Buddhas, saints, demons, monsters, ghosts, etc., hoping that after analyzing the essence of supernatural powers, he could find a way to successfully complete the task and escape from the suffering of hell.
