Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

"How much would that require cutting? No way!" Tongtian shook his head repeatedly at the thought of the consequences.

Hongyun: "It grew back as soon as I used my magic to urge it, it didn't affect anything at all."

Even so, Tongtian didn't dare to cut his second brother's hair!

How about... another kiss?

"Then I'll give it a try? You tell me what your magic weapon is first!" Tongtian had already convinced himself and was eager to try.

"System, give me one!"

A real-life version of the system appeared, looking utterly speechless: "Host, your anger level isn't high enough!"

Hongyun was taken aback: "How could it not be enough?"

"Last time, when we tried to steal Nuwa's Nine Heavens Breath Soil, Nuwa contributed 100,000 points of anger. Now, we only have a little over 268,000 points. A Primordial Spiritual Treasure costs at least 300,000 points."

Hongyun hesitated for a moment, looking at Tongtian's expectant eyes, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to refuse him. With a heavy heart, she said, "Exchange three thousand 'moral points' for thirty thousand 'anger points.'"

"Ding! Morality points can be exchanged for anger points, starting from at least 10,000." The system switched back to its mechanical voice, probably afraid that Hongyun would scold him.

"Change, change, change!" Hongyun waved her hand impatiently.

When he retrieved it, he was already holding a flag in his hand. It was one of the Five Primordial Flags, along with the Southern Flame Flag previously given to Tongtian; it was the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag. In the novel, it was obtained by the Styx River, but now, with the system, Hongyun had gotten it first.

Tongtian: "Hongyun, you have quite a few good things. Then why do you want me to help you exchange them for magical treasures with Nuwa?"

Hongyun blurted out, "Giving her such a nice thing would be such a waste!"

Tongtian was overjoyed and gave it to him without feeling bad. It was worth it for him to treat Hongyun as a good friend. He was even willing to kiss his second brother for Hongyun's sake.

He grabbed the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, stood up, and straightened his robes: "Wait for me to come back!"

The Tongtian Sifangbu (a type of ancient Chinese walkway) evokes a feeling of desolation and loss, like a hero departing never to return.

Hongyun covered her mouth, afraid of laughing out loud.

Half an hour later, a bloodcurdling scream came from Yuanshi's room.

"Hahahaha~" Hongyun finally burst into unrestrained laughter.

The treasure rat stared in terror at the red cloud, which seemed poised to devour it in one gulp, and tried to flee for its life. Although it longed to become an apprentice, its life was far more important than that.

*Ding! 30,000 points of Morality Points have been credited to your account!*

This time, Hongyun didn't even ask, yet he already knew how badly Tongtian had been beaten by Yuanshi.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Hongyun saw the Treasure Rat trying to leave and grabbed it.

"You really are a coward! I've arranged for you to become Tongtian's top disciple, a tremendous opportunity, and now you're afraid of me?"

"Squeak~ Squeak~" The little toy mouse wiggled its round body.

Hongyun laughed and threw him to the ground.

"Squeak~" The Treasure Mouse was so frightened that it shrank into a ball and landed on the ground, transforming into a short boy.

"I can't understand what you're saying anyway, so I might as well help you out. If Yuanshi knew that Tongtian's disciple was a Treasure Rat that couldn't yet take human form, he would probably be even angrier."

Hongyun admired Duobao after his transformation, and he wasn't as shifty-eyed as described in the novel! Although he still looked like a boy, he was quite cute with his babyish appearance.

"Thank you... sir!" Duobao bowed timidly.

Hongyun laughed and said, "Although you won't be able to eat 'Three Squeaks' anymore, it's still quite amusing if you make your 'squeak' a few times every now and then!"

If he shouts a couple more times, Yuanshi will hear Tongtian and get beaten up, hehe!
