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

Chapter 26, Twenty-Six, Tricked by the System Again

"Redeem it now! Redeem it quickly!"

When Hongyun heard the ratio, his eyes lit up instantly. At this moment, receiving 100,000 anger points was truly a timely rain!

"What items can I buy to help me break through my cultivation level?"

[Ding! 100,000 points of "Shamelessness" can be exchanged for your first breakthrough.]

Hongyun blinked and paused for a moment.

"Aren't you being a bit too wicked? You're utterly wicked! If wickedness points are so useful, why did you exchange them for anger points? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Even if you call it a 'Shameless System,' you should at least distinguish between inside and outside. I am your host, not a vengeful spirit!"

"What kind of time is this to keep messing with me? If I die, where are you going to find another host?!"

Hongyun's eyes widened, but the fact that she didn't utter a sound of her anger was the greatest sign of her self-control.

"Ding! Please keep your emotions stable, otherwise this system will use electric shock mode to help you calm down."

Hong Yunqi's chest heaved violently; he wanted to attack it but didn't know how. If it were anyone else, he would have simply slapped them, but he couldn't very well slap himself at the system within his own body!

Enraged to the extreme and helpless, Hongyun could only try to negotiate peacefully with the system:

"Just tell me, given my current level of anger, what's the best thing to buy to increase my cultivation level? Or, something to boost my defense?"

Hongyun really wanted to hit someone; she had never felt this way before. In the civilized world of later generations, a slap would cost twenty or thirty thousand, and Hongyun wouldn't even get angry. Since transmigrating, she hadn't left Wuzhuang Temple, and she hadn't even been this angry when facing Jieyin and Zhunti. Now, she was being bullied like this by her own system.

[Ding! 300,000 Rage Points can be exchanged for a Quasi-Saint Cultivation Card.]

That's only a one-time use, so it's not very effective!

"Is there anything else?"

Hongyun asked again

This time, the system took a while to reply:

[Ding! Host can now use their future "misdeeds points" to break through realms.]

"Can I buy on credit?"

This doesn't seem like the behavior of an unethical system!

Having been thoroughly scammed, Hongyun learned her lesson and resolved never to easily trust the system, no matter what.

[Ding! Given the host's current critical situation, an exception is made, allowing the host to pay on credit once.]

Hongyun nodded, "I see."

Before agreeing to buy on credit, Hongyun suddenly asked, "Is there interest?"

"Buying on credit through this system will incur a 20% interest rate."

Hongyun glared at the air with an "I knew it" look on her face. Luckily, she asked, otherwise the interest rate might not have been 20%.

Hongyun found this number acceptable, given the current urgency and the lack of other ways to quickly improve his cultivation level besides the system.

However, she still cursed, "You're so greedy! Twenty percent? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"Ding! This system operates on a voluntary credit system."

The system really wants to tell its silly host: I know what you're thinking!

After much deliberation and hesitation, Hongyun finally made her decision: "Then, let's buy on credit!"

[Ding! Host's cultivation has broken through. 300,000 points of Morality Points have been used, plus 60,000 points of interest and 90,000 points of credit fee, for a total of 450,000 Morality Points. Host, please work hard to accumulate Morality and pay off your debts as soon as possible.]

Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was a handling fee?

Hongyun almost laughed. Who would want such a broken system? I'd rather give it away for free than risk it ruining my life. It's impossible to guard against!

[Ding! The host did not ask.]
