“Oh, little guy!”
Xu Que smiled smugly, “Just say it. What’s the danger?”
He was well aware that the System had become much more intelligent after its upgrade. “But so what if it was intelligent? Could it be more intelligent than Xu Que, the Act-Tough Saint?”
“Could it not explain clearly what was going on with the restrictive barrier?”
DING! “Hidden behind the restrictive barrier is an extremely strong presence. After the System has inspected it, it seems that there is an 80 percent chance of confirming that the strong presence appears to be human beings deep in sleep. They number at least 50 people, of which the highest cultivation stage is at least Celestial Prime, and there are most likely ten of them.”
The System finally gave a satisfactory answer to Xu Que.
But Xu Que was astonished. “The Treasure Pavilion’s restrictive barrier actually concealed all those people behind it?”
“Furthermore, there were actually ten powerful Celestial Primes among the human beings deep asleep?”
“Could it be that the powerful beings who’d disappeared from the Heaven Palace Sect were actually all deep asleep here?”
“Did this mean that once he opened the restrictive barrier, would he possibly wake up these powerful beings and release them out into the world?”
“F*ck, why should I?”
“I, the Act-Tough Saint, am here to fish around to find treasure and other good stuff, but not to rescue some big shots.”
“Forget about it. Let’s just leave. No reason for us to wade in these murky waters,” Xu Que said.
Xu Que immediately decided to withdraw.
However, just then the System beep sounded again.
DING! “After examining the situation, the System finds that, in addition to the sleeping human beings behind the restrictive barrier, there are also a large number of Celestial Artifacts and other major treasures. I strongly recommend that the host open the restrictive barrier. There is a 70 percent chance of not waking up the sleeping parties.”
“Oh, d*mn if I believe your nefarious words. So what if it’s a 70 percent chance? Doesn’t that mean there’s a 30 percent chance of them waking up? I’ve never put much stock in this kind of probability. It’s too deceiving.” Xu Que waved his hands and rejected the System’s advice.
He understood about the intentions of the System. Its goal was nothing else but to make him face up to difficulties so that his growth would accelerate and in that way enhance his own strength.
But for Xu Que, a person who never did anything without knowing that he would profit from it, it was really too difficult for him to take a huge risk like this without a good cause.
First of all, the temptation of those Celestial Artifacts and other natural treasures was far from enough for him. If he were an ordinary cultivator, he might take a risk for this. But Xu Que’s need for these things wasn’t all that great.
He had even less of a need for killing enemies to gain experience. There were still countless Celestial Kings in the Heaven Continent waiting for him to kill. “Why would he need to open this place and release the threatening powerful Celestial Prime beings? Moreover, there were as many as ten of them.”
“Why would he do that?”
DING! Given the high level of danger behind the restrictive barrier, if the host were to kill these opponents, he could activate the Strike to Kill and Acquire Nature Mode.”
The System seemed to feel worried that Xu Que was really going to slip away, and it immediately made a compromise. It actually agreed for him to kill the Celestial King and activate the nature mode.
Xu Que immediately stopped in his tracks. He was somewhat moved, but… something was not right that the System was offering to give him such big concessions.
This was really out of line with the System’s unscrupulous nature.
“No, I’ve thought about it. I, Xu Que, am basically not that kind of person. I can never sell my own body and soul for Charm Points. Not to mention it is just a nature mode. Once I upgrade the version, I can activate it later!” Xu Que came to his senses and righteously rejected the System again.
“…..” The System instantly fell into a silence.
Xu Qu sneered to himself. He beckoned to the crowd to get ready to leave all together.
DING! “…..”
Suddenly, another beep rang out in his mind.
DING! “After checking your accounts, we see that the host Xu Que has taken out a loan of 500,000 Acting Tough Points, which he has not paid for to date. Including the interest on this loan, the total amount owed has reached 5 million Acting Tough Points. Can the host please repay immediately? Otherwise the System will force the restrictive barrier to open!”
“F*ck!” Xu Que cursed loudly.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s going on?”
Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others were startled by this sudden swearing. They looked at Xu Que in confusion.
“There’s a profiteer trying to defraud me,” Xu Que said with gritted teeth and and incredibly angry look.
“Son of a b*tch, this System dares to threaten me!”
“F*ck, which profiteer is so bold? Who would dare to defraud you? Is he stupid?” Buttface looked shocked. That person must be a total fool to dare to defraud such a vicious person as Xu Que.
Xu Que just waved his hands around and didn’t reply. His face looked ashen as he communicated with the System in his mind again.
“Are you sure you want to use this method? I don’t mind upping the stakes.” Xu Que’s tone vaguely carried a hint of amusement.
He was fully confident, and he could really blow this up.
Previously, when he had been facing Li Xuanqi and the Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect, he had said that he still had a card hidden up his sleeve.
He had not been referring to the upgraded system, but to another huge killing weapon.
However, the power of the upgraded System had exceeded his imagination. So, after he’d killed the three Celestial Kings, he didn’t need to use that other move.
And now, the System had actually threatened to force the restrictive barrier open, and Xu Que was unwilling to do that at the moment.
If the System really did that, he would definitely sacrifice that hidden move and go big to stun the System.
DING! “Given the host’s limited repayment capacity at this time, the System can extend your deadline!” At this point, the System hastened to give a response and give up its threat.
Obviously, the System seemed to know what Xu Que’s defensive position was, and directly compromised.
“Hee, hee, hee, little guy, trying to play with me. You’re definitely not good enough.” Xu Que instantly felt smug.
The System had seemed to reveal a deep sense of helplessness, and Xu Que could even faintly feel its emotions, as if it was complaining about encountering such a host and what an unfortunate thing it was.
DING! “After the system has carried out a precise test again, they have determined that the risk factor behind the restrictive barrier is too high. If the host opens the restrictive barrier on his own initiative and relies on his own strength to engage the opponent in a battle, he can activate the nature mode, and be rewarded with a free Debt Collector Beats Debtors service.”
Finally, the System gave the conditions for a final compromise.
Xu Que nodded his head without thinking and said, “It’s a deal!”
In fact, even if the System had not given out this condition, Xu Que had still been very tempted by the nature mode.
He was very curious. “Except for the Charm Points, if he added 100 points to the nature mode, how powerful would he become?”
As a result, he’d only pretended a little. But he didn’t expect to fool the System, and for it to finally give better conditions.
Not only did he maintain the nature mode, he’d also received an additional free Debt Collector Beats Debtors service. This Debt Collector Beats Debtors service
made Xu Que very happy all of a sudden. “Could it be he was going to summon an expert who could startle the universe and move the gods?”
It was a trump card that was a lot more powerful than his last resort.
“Hee, hee, hee, with such a trump card, I can be fully confident in going to the Celestial Cloud Continent to find that Celestial Emperor. Whether Xiao Nou’s memory can be restored or not, I must get…this person back.”
Xu Que smiled and turned around to face that hidden restrictive barrier again.
This time, he held out his hand without hesitation and pressed on the wall above the restrictive barrier.
DING! “The automatic defense mechanism has been activated!”
Almost at the same time, the System beep sounded as well.
