Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Could you stop reminding me already?!
This was the simple exchange between Su Xiaobai and the system he had just activated.
Su Xiaobai was a human from Earth.
Ten minutes ago, he transmigrated to a world that looked identical to Earth but had undergone drastic changes.
In this world, ferocious beasts and mutant monsters roamed freely.
To survive, humanity embarked on the path of warriors, building massive walls and defensive lightning barriers to form human bases that kept the beasts and mutants at bay.
Both ferocious beasts and warriors were divided into levels.
The strongest warriors could fly through the skies, traverse the earth, move mountains, and fill seas, becoming human-shaped nuclear weapons capable of causing cataclysmic destruction with a flick of their fingers!
Thus, in this world, martial prowess reigned supreme.
Realizing this, Su Xiaobai was thrilled.
Although he came from a peaceful and harmonious society…
Although his body had no trace of spiritual energy and was utterly useless…
Although his cultivation aptitude was trash to the point of being negligible…
He had a system!
The melodious voice announcing
filled him with excitement, making him almost howl at the sky!
However, after the system activation, it informed him that its first function required money to activate specifically, 100,000 spirit coins!
100,000 spirit coins… I might as well just kill myself and transmigrate again!
Su Xiaobai was depressed.
If he were a warrior, he might be able to save up 100,000 spirit coins in a few years. Warriors earned significantly more than ordinary people, with monthly salaries ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 spirit coins.
Moreover, a warrior s income increased as their strength grew.
System, can t I pay on credit?
Su Xiaobai asked, unwilling to give up.
The system replied in a sweet and innocent tone.
Then what use are you even activated for?!
Su Xiaobai rolled his eyes dramatically.
At that moment, a sweet, crisp voice came from outside the room.
Su Xiaobai looked up. The door opened to reveal a petite girl around 15 or 16 years old, with a ponytail, fair skin, bright eyes, and a radiant smile. She was as beautiful as a doll.
Brother, you re awake!
The girl s cheerful smile was like the first bloom of spring, warming the heart.
Su Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, but his memories quickly reminded him who she was.
As the only child of his parents, Su Xiaobai had lost them in a beast invasion years ago. Before their deaths, they adopted Su Ling er, an orphan, intending for her to become Su Xiaobai s future wife.
From then on, Su Ling er was raised as a future daughter-in-law, and she herself viewed Su Xiaobai as her destined husband.
Great. I m a total loser, broke as dirt… but I still have a fiancee!
Though she s stunning, that just makes the burden heavier!
Su Xiaobai sighed internally.
Brother, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?
Su Ling er asked sweetly, I earned 5 spirit coins working for Aunt Fatty next door. Let s go have your favorite beef noodles!
Hearing this, Su Xiaobai s heart sank.
At 17 years old, still a student, he had been completely reliant on Su Ling er s odd jobs to support him since their parents passing.
On good days, she could earn 5 spirit coins.
On bad days, nothing.
Hey, Ling er, do we have any savings?
Su Xiaobai asked tentatively.
Yes!
Su Ling er nodded.
How much?
About… 100,000 spirit coins. Her tone was obedient.
What?!
When did we have so much money?!
Su Xiaobai leaped up in shock.
He had no idea his family had that kind of wealth!
It s compensation from the accident that took our parents.
Su Ling er s voice turned sorrowful.
Mom told me to keep it hidden and save it for your college tuition.
In this era, university fees were astronomical like studying abroad in the old days, costing tens of thousands of spirit coins annually.
I never knew!
Su Xiaobai was speechless.
But he understood his parents intentions: they feared he d squander the money, leaving nothing for college. Their foresight was now proving invaluable.
Quick, Ling er, give me all the money! Su Xiaobai said urgently.
Obediently, Su Ling er fetched a small box hidden under her bed and handed him a card.
The system chimed in.
Yes!
Su Xiaobai agreed without hesitation.
