I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 14 Washing the Essence and Cutting the Marrow
"Congratulations to the host for completing his first novel, "Siheyuan: The Road to Almightyness and Innate Ability."

"Host, please start drawing rewards now!"

Two days later, as the last word was typed, a mechanical sound suddenly came from his mind, which scared him immediately. Before he could react, a blue light screen instantly appeared in front of his eyes.

A blue disc was formed, and on the disc there were not only all the abilities of the protagonist in the novel, but also all kinds of items! There were so many fragments.

This made Zhou Tian, ​​who was ready to draw the lottery excitedly, suddenly stunned. He stared at the turntable in front of him. Originally, he would draw the protagonist's ability at the end of the novel, and there shouldn't be many items, but now he saw something, the items were more than the protagonist's abilities.

In particular, many of them were things he could not use, such as an ambulance, emergency writing tools, and a bottle of Wahaha. Looking at the series of items behind him, he felt like crying but had no tears.

After all, if it was just the abilities, he could ignore it, but there were all these things behind it, especially the items that took up so much space, while the abilities only took up pitifully few grids. For him, who had been educated by Penguin Games for several years, this was simply a system that left him no way out.

Although he was very unhappy, he also knew that he could not bargain with the system at all, so he could only say with a hint of displeasure: "Draw a lottery!"

As Zhou Tian finished his words, the entire disk began to rotate instantly, and as time passed, it became faster and faster until it turned into an afterimage.

"stop!"

Seeing him spinning so hard that he felt dizzy, Zhou Tian shouted immediately.

The disc, which was originally spinning faster and faster, suddenly began to slow down. After the disc stopped, a red pointer pointed to a small area and stopped.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the pinnacle of martial arts, the ability of the protagonist in the book!"

As soon as the words fell in his mind, a golden stream of light suddenly jumped out from the disc and directly entered Zhou Tian’s mind.

"Great!"

Zhou Tiangang shouted in excitement after drawing the ability he wanted most, but before he could react, a huge amount of information instantly appeared in his mind as light poured into his mind.

"No! It hurts!"

The huge flow of information seemed endless, constantly pouring into his mind. He felt as if his entire brain was about to burst by this huge flow of information.

His entire head ached as if it were pierced by needles. The pain made his face turn extremely pale all of a sudden. He couldn't help but sit on the ground and started rolling around.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Tian kept rolling over and over, the sweat on his face pouring out from his head like a shower, his hair, which had already turned a little gray, began to change unconsciously.

At the same time, as his head ached, a subtle warm current surged out from his mind and began to flow into his body.

Wherever it passed, countless muscle cells began to become restless, and when the warm current passed by, they were absorbed by the cellular muscles.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tian was still immersed in pain at this moment and could not feel any changes in his body.

As the pain in his mind became more and more intense, Zhou Tian’s eyes began to bulge out instantly and the look on his face began to turn gray.

Holding his head with both hands, he felt as if his head was being cut in half. He wished he could faint, but for some reason, the more pain in his head, the clearer his spirit and mind became.

Finally, it seemed that when his pain reached a peak, the information flow suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he felt like he was reborn, and he couldn't help but exhale deeply. At this moment, he felt weak all over, as if he was dehydrated, and lay on the ground stupidly. It was not until half an hour later that Zhou Tian felt that his body had recovered some strength and began to struggle to stand up from the ground.

Although his face was still slightly pale, it had a hint of redness.

"System, why am I in so much pain? Will I feel this much pain every time I gain abilities in the future?"

The first thing Zhou Tian did when he stood up was to ask directly as he felt anger rising in his heart.

If he had known that gaining power would be so painful, he would not even want to gain such power. After all, during the whole process, he felt as if he was about to die.

The fear that was so deep in his heart made him shudder whenever he thought about it.

"Since the host is an ordinary person, the system can only develop the host's brain area. Otherwise, the host will not be able to withstand the impact of the national martial arts information flow and will become an idiot. Now that the system has developed the host's brain area, the pain will be reduced in the future!"

On the light screen in front of me, the system was refreshing the text directly.

But in Zhou Tian’s eyes, he seemed to see a devil, and his face turned pale again.

"Does this mean I will have to endure this kind of pain in the future?"

It's not that he couldn't hold on, but this kind of pain was even more terrifying to him than any punishment. You know, Zhou Tian has been a person with slow physical reactions since he was a child.

He remembered that even when his foot was half pierced by glass shards, he didn't care. Although it hurt, it was within his tolerance. Basically, he didn't care too much. At most, he bandaged it and he could still play without any concern.

But he had never experienced this kind of pain before, and now the system said that it would happen again in the future. How could he not be frightened?

"Then can I not have this ability anymore and not endure this kind of pain?"

Zhou Tian was really scared and couldn't help but ask.

"Host, the reason why it hurt so much just now is because the system has developed the host's brain area. Please don't compare it with the ability of the system's initiation. The ability initiation in the future will be directly one thousandth of the current one!"

Perhaps the system sensed Zhou Tian’s fear, and it appeared directly on the light screen to explain the reason.

"One in a thousand? That's not bad!"

After reading it, Zhou Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know how painful one thousandth of the pain would be, he could actually endure it as long as the pain would not be as severe as it was now. After all, if God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his muscles and bones tired, starve his body, and deprive him of all his possessions.

He agrees that if you want to gain something, you must work hard.

After a short rest, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He found that his body seemed to be emitting a very disgusting smell.

"Washing the essence and marrow?"

In an instant, this thought popped into his mind.
