Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 29 System Devouring and Fusion, Investment Function

"Is this Xue Linfeng trying to tell me something that I can only see on my deathbed?"

"Or rather, the word he wrote was not meant to remind me, but rather he saw something astonishing in the moment before he died and wanted to write it down."

"His consciousness was already blurred, and he couldn't write many words, so he wrote down the word that his subconscious thought was closest."

"At that time, Xue Linfeng, as a time traveler, naturally subconsciously used the Chinese characters that he was most proficient in."

Li Qiye felt that this might be the truth, but he didn't know what Xue Linfeng had seen.

Li Qiye sighed helplessly; he probably would never know this secret in his lifetime.

After all, unless something unexpected happens, he is destined to attain enlightenment, and death is not on his side.

He certainly wouldn't risk his life for such a trivial secret.

"It's a real shame we'll never know this secret."

Li Qiye shook his head and said.

He threw the piece of clothing in his hand directly onto the Vermilion Bird egg, and it turned to ashes the next moment.

It is worth mentioning that after half a month of incubation, the Vermilion Bird egg has changed from before.

The Vermilion Bird egg is now completely red, and the light from it has even coalesced into the shape of a Vermilion Bird flying in the air.

The Vermilion Bird's flame is called the Southern Bright Fire, and there are few flames that can compare with it.

If Li Qiye hadn't set up a protective barrier around the room beforehand, it would probably have been burned to the ground long ago.

The firebird that hatched earlier has long since been reduced to nothing, turned into roast chicken.

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! System upgrade complete. New features unlocked!]

Upon hearing this voice, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile.

"The system upgrade is finally complete."

Next, Li Qiye listened with great interest to the system's introduction.

The system has added an investment function to the original "slack off" feature.

"invest?"

Li Qiye frowned slightly.

So Xue Linfeng's system was actually an investment system!
In a sense, it is similar to the "give up" system, since both belong to the category of getting something for nothing.

However, relatively speaking, slacking off is more shameless, as you can get rewards without doing anything, while investing requires you to put in effort before you get rewards.

Isn't this investment a form of hard work?

Li Qiye couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The system quickly responded, providing an explanation of the investment.

The system will detect certain investable targets, and the host only needs to make investments based on the target's needs.

This doesn't require the host's labor, so it doesn't violate the rules of "doing nothing."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye could only say that the system had the right to interpret everything.

"You're the older brother, you're in charge of everything!"

"So it seems that Xue Linfeng's system detected that Li Yueyao met the investment criteria, so he deliberately made things mysterious to fool us and complete the investment task."

"Does that mean she could be my first investment target?"

It was a dark night, without moon or stars.

The outside was shrouded in darkness, but the room was brightly lit.

[Ding! System check indicates Li Yueyao does not meet the investment requirements.]

The system prompt sounds.

"Does not meet the investment requirements?"

Li Qiye frowned slightly: "Why doesn't it fit?"

If that's the case, then why was Xue Linfeng being so mysterious?

Could it be that I was the one who met the criteria back then?
Li Qiye shook his head. Judging from Xue Linfeng's reaction at the time, that was clearly not the case. [Respected host, the system made an error in its judgment at the time.]

The system immediately provided an explanation:
[Li Yueyao meets the initial investment criteria set by the system, but investment requires verification of the other party's needs, and the system failed to accurately detect Li Yueyao's situation.]

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye asked with a puzzled expression, "What exactly are the investment conditions?"

[Luck value 100 or above!]

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye fell into deep thought.

The so-called luck may seem ethereal, but it is actually real.

Of course, good luck doesn't mean you can be reckless, because opportunities often come with dangers.

Having abundant good fortune simply means being more likely to encounter opportunities.

Whether you can get this opportunity depends on your abilities.

There is no such thing as a truly destined person in the world. Heaven is inherently ruthless. When it bestows something upon you, it will certainly use something else to balance it out, and that is often hardship.

The system is not within the rules. If the Heavenly Dao is a huge program, then the system is a virus that invades the program, directly undermining its rationality.

"So, my luck value isn't even 100?"

Li Qiye asked, speechless.

That makes sense, since everything he obtained came from the system.

Even the Firebird, which possesses the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, was found only through the system's guidance.

Aside from his background, Li Qiye had never actually received any opportunities from this world.

"I guess he used up all his luck on reincarnation."

Li Qiye laughed self-deprecatingly.

A person's background is naturally very important; many people work hard their whole lives but still don't have a higher starting point than others.

However, in the original story, Li Qiye died before he had gone very far.

Fortunately, a system appeared and saved him, changing everything.

"so……"

What exactly is the reason why Li Yueyao does not meet the investment requirements?

The next moment, a light screen appeared in Li Qiye's mind.

Name: Li Yueyao

[Identity: A concubine's daughter of the Prince Huai of the Great Zhou Dynasty, born to the Prince Huai and a courtesan. She is of low status and disliked. Beneath her gentle and mild nature lies a volatile and cold-blooded heart. She is also a reborn individual.]

[Realm Level: Third Level of the Innate Realm]

[Physique: Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body, not yet activated]

[Luck Value: 388]

[Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body: One of the Ten Ancient Demonic Bodies, also known as the Extreme Yin Demon Body. It requires the Human-Faced Flower, the Frosty Snow Lotus, and the Soul-Severing Grass to be infused into the Fountain of Youth before it can be activated.]

Seeing this, Li Qiye looked astonished.

However, these were all expected. In fact, he could have guessed some of this from Li Yueyao's personality change and the fact that she had many abilities that she did not have in her previous life, but he was just not sure.

It's difficult for a person's personality to change significantly in a short period of time. Even the clothes they like to wear have changed from white in their previous life to bright red, which already speaks volumes.

If Li Yueyao is a reborn person, then everything makes sense.

"No wonder, she's a reincarnated person."

"No wonder Yueyao looked so surprised and incredulous when she first met him..."

Just then, the system's voice rang in Li Qiye's mind once again.

First of all, the investment system did not detect Li Yueyao's identity as a reincarnated person before!

Secondly, there was an error in the check of Ye Yao's physical activation status!

[Again, the detection of Li Yueyao's luck value was incorrect!]

Knowing this, Li Qiye understood.
