Ding!*
The broom in his hand fell to the ground and caused a mess everywhere, but he couldn't care about that right now.
"4 years! 4 FUCKING YEARS!!!!!!!" His tears wept as he held his hand out to the sky. A sad and regretful smile. Half of his hair was black and the other half was white.
In front of the youth was a orange golden screen.
[Learned your lesson yet, little bro?]
"Yes, yes, I beg of you to not disappear again!! I really can't take it anymore!"
[Is that how you beg someone?]
SLAM!
Zhu Xiaobo knelt on the ground with aggrieved tears falling.
"System please help me! I BEG OF YOU!!!!"
On the other side of screen in a space far far far away sat a youth with short black hair, golden eyes wearing black circle glasses. His leg raised on the desk counter in this white space.
That's right, this is me. 324 years ago, I, Qi Song was kidnapped when a hole formed right under me and plunged me into this white space leaving me with only a driving manual guide on how to operate the system.
At first, I thought it was a prank for a tv show. But then I found myself not getting hungry, sleepy, or even needing to use the bathroom.
Apparently, if I finish my quota of helping out 100 main characters, I can make a wish. The punishment if I don't is, well....Nothing....but that's the scary part. I will be forced to stay here for all of eternity until I complete my missions.
Right now I've completed....2 stories! AGGGH! Why are these stories so god damn long!? IT's the Same cliche over and over again in each arc! Seriously, why bother creating 100 levels of cultivation if you're just going to jump the ladder with some plot device like a inheritance or a magic pill / sword / cultivation / etc.
Just having to deal with those 2 motherfuckerS! OH Don't even get me started. They wouldn't even follow my guide and would literally act like they were invincible, forcing me to clean up after them!
Now I know how secretaries feel when their bosses messes and pats your back and say, "Thank you in advance!"
.....So I mentally gave up
Thus Zhu Xiaobo became my outlet. :D
The first moment Qi Song appeared in front of Zhu Xiabo, his main character arrogance pissed Qi Song off. So he literally just went MIA for 4 years with one message left behind.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
[Brb, going out for milk. Be back when you grow the hell up.]
Zhu Xiaobo prayed with his hands as if worshipping a god.
"System, I really can't do this anymore! For 4 years I've been working as a waiter, the meals are unsanitary and not filling at all, and fatty Po bullies me beating me up!!" He starts crying after reminiscing over the hardships these past few years.
[Yawn~ you done?]
"I will absolutely listen to you as long as you get me out of this hell hole AGhhhh!!" Zhu Xiabo starts kowtowing. If others were to see him, they would look at a weirdo who was kowtowing to air.
[alright, alright. Enough of your gibberish]

- Mission 1: Enter into the Twilight Star Sect -
Pass the trials of the sect
Reward: Sun and Moon Physique
The Sun and Moon Physique allows you to draw in the energy from the sun and the moon to use as your own power. With this physique you will live as long as the moon or sun still in the sky in your area even if every part of you is disintegrated.
"Hiss~ The sun and moon physique sounds so fierce!?"
Zhu Xiabo instantly got motivated, but then realized a huge issues. He rubbed his hands in front of the system like a dirty merchant.
"You see system, I don't even have a weapon, not to mention a cultivation base. Look, I can't even beat fatty Po in a 1v1 fight. How am I supposed to pass the trial? It's not that I'm begging you, but this is really, sigh~ VEry hard to do without any help!"
[......]
Zhu Xiabo side eyed the system panel.
Did I screw up? Fuck! If the system runs away again, how long will it show up next time???
[You...]
I'm screwed, Mom, dad, my future harem members. I failed to meet your expectations.
He wiped a false tear falling gently as if caressing his face.
[....made a reasonable argument]
"I know, I shouldn't have asked–Wait! What did you say!?"
[Ah....I forgot to give you this]
"Hm? What are you-"
Ding!* You got mail! You got mail!
A system panel appeared as Zhu Xiaobo click on the mail.
He reads it out as sweat starts dripping down, "Newbie package?"
click! You got......
1/ Qi formation level 7
2/ Newbie gear
3/ 100 spirit stones
"You're telling me....I could have gotten these 4 years ago?" He tiredly slumped in his position as his cultivation base went up. His tears not drying a bit.
[Yep! Good on you huh. Now you know what hard work is. As the immortal say, all things return to simplicity.]
"But I'm not a immortal!"
[Time started! Leeeets GO!]
"There's a time limit!?"
[To motivate the user, I have thoughtfully designed it to electrocute your whole body every 40 hours that you don't make it. The pain is equal to that of tribulation lightning. Don't worry, you won't die from it, just...indescribable pain...maybe mental damage?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️]
Xiaobo clenched his fists in anger and gritted his teeth while saying, "Are you messing with me??"
[hm, maybe 4 years was too short. Let me check if I need any more milk-]
"No, no, no! I can do it! Aren't you too decisive?! I'm the main character right?!"
[But can you do anything without me?]
"...." Xiaobo reminisced his time without the system. He couldn't cultivate, couldn't seek opportunities, and he was always scared of danger wherever he went.
"Hahaha..." With a deject laugh he ran without his arms moving which made him look like a zombie. Technically speaking, both were dead inside.
Yawn~ I almost forgot there were novice packages in xianxia novels. Well, whatever. I gave him the sun and moon body, so he shouldn't die this early in the story. Oh wait, he doesn't have it yet....Well....whatever. I'll mourn for him if he does dies...Occasionally....sometimes....who am I kidding, as if I'll waste my time to mourn him.
