Chapter 1

Back in the space, Li Ming grieves for indefinite time. However, as he is only a soul, there are no tears or real heart ache. But the absence of his beloved brings forth emptiness to his bleak existence. As time passes, Li Ming feels his emotions stabilize.

"Xiao Hong, come out," calls a calm Li Ming. A red appears out of nowhere and bounces to his side. [Master, how are you feeling?]

"All is good," replies Li Ming. "What happened to that world after I left?"

[Master, Xu Jun and He Zan buries you alongside Wei Xiaolong in that island. Every year, they come and offer incense to your grave. From then on, all descendant of Wei are to be buried there.]

"The line didn't stop with Xu Jun?"

[Since Wei Xiaolong bestowed him the surname Wei after inheriting Z Tech Industry, he and He Zan make use of surrogacy and have two kids with surname He and Wei.]

Li Ming briefly smiles. He might have wanted to see his human's kids. "What happened to the protagonist by the way?"

Xiao Hong trembles before answering. [Wang Juan arrives at the summit of entertainment industry after you depart. However, she is already pass her prime, so she and her boyfriend who is almost two decades younger than her can only hide their relationship. There is no surprise proposal in the red carpet nor grand wedding.]

Li Ming's eyes brighten in delight. Well karma is a bitch. "Xiao Hong, I'm ready for the second mission."

The system hesitates. He feels like something is not right with his host. When he first met him in the void, his master has always adapted a cool demeanor. The Li Ming now still exudes the same air, however, Xiao Hong has this distinct feeling that his master may have changed somehow.

[Master, before we proceed to the second world, I have to inform you that you have accumulated 100,000 points for your first mission. You can now trade them for any kind of elixir, cultivation manuals, medicinal pills, magic items, teleportation talismans, and many more. Do you wish to open the store and check the available items?]

Curious, Li Ming nods. He witnesses with his own eyes a pop up screen appearing out of nowhere. Listed on the transparent screen are items with their names and corresponding amount of points. Below them are brief description.

When Li Ming reaches the bottom of the list for all third-tier potions, his right eye twitches in disbelief.

Regeneration potion - 100,000,000 points

Can regenerate user's body to a perfect condition as long as fed within 30 minutes

This is highway robbery! Li Ming turns to the weapon inventory. One look and he promptly switches to another. Too many zeros! One magical dagger for 100,000 points? No thanks.

The skill inventory is... weird. Li Ming grabs the red orb floating beside him and proceeds to knead it while checking the list.

Cooking - 15,000 points
