CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 339: I CAN CULTIVATE IMMORTALITY, SO WHY BOTHER WITH THOSE?

"Of course not to stop."

The shadow felt nothing wrong with himself, still full of nostalgia: "Idiot system, it’s particularly bad in this regard, not smart at all. Far from the systems in novels that could transform into a cat girl, dumb and can be tricked into bed!

Can’t communicate, no customer service, but the system’s self-identification feature is quite satisfying.

After killing all the workers, I just recruited another batch. Anyway, the neighboring islands are huge, full of poor refugees, who scramble just at the call to take the gold coins and follow me.

I spent a week in the game to level up the Ice Cone Skill to Level Five, the combat power was quite impressive, then I bought a big ship to leave the Newbie Village.

After leaving that island, the system became completely quiet and didn’t issue tasks.

The System Mall is useless too, only seeds and farming tools, no help for cultivation. Luckily, the initial props had a storage bag, which made it convenient for me to carry things as I traveled the world.

Then... I discovered it was actually a real world, the damn system tricked me! Made it look like the game’s interface, complete with background music, obviously up to no good!

Think about it, how can a game be the same as reality?

In the game you can resurrect after death, but in reality once you’re dead, it’s all over. Such a dangerous Otherworld, the system pretends to be a game to make me lower my guard, obviously has plans!"

Jiang Yuan listened with a face full of question marks, thinking sure enough, there’s a big difference between people.

Anyway, he had never had such thoughts himself, considering things from different angles, can’t say who’s right or wrong.

But after learning the Wilderness was a real world, not a game, he didn’t feel guilty at all for killing so many people, just thought... this person must have been antisocial even when alive, right?

No wonder he couldn’t stand seeing others happy in love, such a lowlife!

The shadow was clearly lost in sweet memories, unable to extricate himself, even his tone was much more cheerful, "With the system’s identification feature, no matter what person or thing I encounter, I can see through the disguise in one glance.

Other cultivators practice cultivation techniques so slowly with average results, but I’m different, I don’t even need to look, just read the bar and gain experience to level up.

Moreover, the system provides a map, I can always find islands with people living on them immediately, freely gaining skill experience, so my combat power improves particularly fast!"

"Wait... you know the world you crossed into is real, and the people living on the islands are living human beings, yet you improve your skills by killing them? No psychological burden from killing people?" Jiang Yuan couldn’t understand, as a modern person facing innocent living people, how could one go at it?

"Friend, you have to understand, we are cultivators!" The shadow snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with such naive and ridiculous questions, "To cultivators, mortals are all ants. Do you care how long ants live or what they think?

Before binding the system for cultivation, I was timid and meek; after binding the system and being able to cultivate, if I still don’t dare to act recklessly, wouldn’t I be cultivating for nothing?"

Seeing the other party had no objections, he continued, "I stayed on the other side for about three months more, then got forcibly sent back.

You know as a powerful figure in the Otherworld, you can kill whoever you want, ↑ any girl you want, having countless concubines, isn’t it so enjoyable?

But when I opened my eyes and found myself sent back, lying in my rented room, hungry with no money in the card, I had only one thought in my mind—I want to become stronger, never coming back!

The huge sense of loss was difficult to accept, plus I was so hungry that I simply didn’t have enough ability to cross back again. Coincidentally, the spirit stones, spirit medicines, weapons, etc., in the storage bag couldn’t be taken out, clearly having millions of gold coins in the account, yet when trying to withdraw, the system showed only three thousand could be taken out!"

"Withdraw three thousand each time?"

"No, there’s only a total quota of three thousand, the account recharge is unlimited; after reaching the ceiling of three thousand withdrawals, you can’t withdraw anymore!" The shadow said viciously, "I told you the system has pitfalls, right? Look, waiting right here!

But at that time my stomach was unbearably hungry, with no strength to cross to the Otherworld, I could only withdraw three thousand to relieve the emergency, even paid a twenty percent personal income tax, only two thousand four left in hand.

Rent was three thousand a month, after paying for a quarter, there wasn’t much money left. I just couldn’t figure it out, isn’t it a cheat system, why should there be taxes?"

Jiang Yuan recalled his experiences, since he really had no money, even a thousand was not too little, directly withdrawing indeed paid taxes, but he hadn’t thought about why taxes should be paid, just felt it was quite formal.

The shadow couldn’t tell what the other’s emotions were, unable to beat him nor provoke him, yet wanted to rely on the other to make a comeback, so showed goodwill saying, "After eating and drinking my fill, I purposely went to check the Wilderness Entertainment Company that transferred the withdrawal to me.

After all, the money was withdrawn from the system, their company transferred it to me, doesn’t that indicate the entertainment company is related to the system? Guess how that three thousand withdrawal limit came about?"

"That company really exists?" He was quite surprised, still had the SMS in the phone, how come he had never thought to reverse trace the source?

Sure enough, the gap between people is really big.

When he got the system, he thought about working hard to complete tasks step by step; he thought about cheaply recruiting labor; while he upgraded skills through battling monsters; the other was killing people mercilessly...

"Of course it exists! Fellow, in this line, don’t you have to pay taxes? Damn it, I used to do sales, made a lot, paid more taxes, often checked income tax details. I purposely clicked to look, the company’s, tax ID number, all registered."

The shadow said with certainty, "I quickly traced it following that, called there and found it was indeed a game company developing mobile games, quite formal!

Then they looked it up for me, said their game beta released review activities to earn manuscript fees. They said my mobile account registered for the activity with the bank card information, the three thousand withdrawal upper limit is the review manuscript fee given by the game company!

Isn’t the system a trap? Hooked up with a game company, releasing beta reviews, backend registration information are all data, I want to keep checking but nowhere to go. And I saw that still-officially-unlaunched mobile game, the game icon was exactly the same as the one I downloaded!"

Silently clutching his phone, Jiang Yuan thought about checking his own account later to see if it had released beta reviews. Meanwhile, he moved to open the system account, the gold coin balance was only twenty thousand, he silently deposited thirty thousand into it, then chose to withdraw.

[Friendly reminder: Withdrawal limit remaining is 29000 gold coins, do you want to withdraw?]

He looked at this "senior" with a fierce Yin Fiend aura so intense that his original appearance was indistinguishable, asking: "Then? You can’t trace the system’s origin in reality, you think it has pitfalls, did you give up or..."

"Why give up, I’m not stupid!" The other raised his voice immediately, "Who cares where the system came from, I can cultivate, why care about those things?

Friend, if you encountered my adventure, what would you do? Wouldn’t you want to do whatever you want, live recklessly, then become strong and stronger, expand your harem, dominate the world, with only yourself as supreme?"
