Chapter 53

Shang Ke gave all of his cultivation and the fruit of his labors to Yan Lu. The moment Yan Lu had succeeded his tribulation, Shang Ke's consciousness returned to the System space.

System: 【Main Mission, completed.】

Shang Ke: "...Just what is the meaning of that comma?"

System: 【According to the system's calculation, the probability of Host completing the penalty mission does not surpass 35%.】

"So?"

【For Host to be able to complete a difficulty x2 penalty mission is completely outside of the system's calculations. The system shall re-adjust the Host's evaluation.】

"What kind of evaluation do you have of me?"

【Heroic Degree lower than expected value. Completion Degree lower than average value.】

Shang Ke: "......"

He decided to ignore the explosive injury the System gave him. After all, the mission was finally completed. Although he had some regrets in his heart, it was not too painful. It was probably because he knew that he could meet him again in the next world so his heart was a bit more at ease and no longer feared.

System: 【The penalty mission does not have rewards, but the skills you have chosen before can be further progressed. The curse halo shall continue.】

"Curse halo? If you didn't mention it then I would have forgotten it." Shang Ke asked strangely, "Just what is the condition for activating the curse halo? It only appeared once in the last world and never showed itself again in the end."

The System explained: 【The condition for activating the curse halo is—for "evil". The definition "evil" has no clear boundaries, it is mainly based on Host's moral quality.】

Shang Ke: "......"

【Choose a skill to improve for now. Of course, Host can also choose to directly enter the next world.】

How could he give up the chance to learn skills and adjust his mood in the Hundred Training Space?

The present skills Shang Ke had lit up were 【Cooking】, 【Musical Instruments】(Piano, Flute, Violin, 【Weaving】, 【Hacking (Intermediate)】, 【Martial Arts (Primary)】...

He simply did not hesitate to promote his martial arts and hacking skills.

After he came out from the Hundred Training Space, Shang Ke continued on the journey of his next world...

A dense fishy stench saturated the air while the cries of alarm and sounds of strikes flooded his ears. Shang Ke opened his eyes and found himself standing on top of a metal tower, below him were densely packed... bugs?!

One after another pumpkin-sized black beetles flocked toward his position like a tide, then were beaten back by the electric current that defended the wall, but another one would immediately replace the former. The defensive wall burned through it's power source quickly under this kind of attack. The defenses were quickly failing, it likely wouldn't last much longer.

Around Shang Ke were countless soldiers traveling back and forth as they seeked for a bunker, picked up their weapons and attacked the bug tide with all their might. A stream of energy light beam shot out and fried a way through the group, causing a large expanse of green mucus to splash about. But the black bugs did not feel any fear, they still advanced dauntlessly like a wave, throwing themselves at them like they could never finish killing them.

Isn't this too shocking? Shang Ke looked at the ground before that was filled with bugs and felt his scalp go numb. The dishonest System always like to send him to the wrong place and the wrong time. His heart was almost destroyed from shock.
