Chapter 1 (2/2)

A jade pendant on the table and a book on the shelf.

The jade pendant is circular. The hollow part in the middle is about three centimeters in diameter. There is no sign of carving. What it supports is a piece of white paper with his name written on it.

Instead of moving the jade pendant, he took out the only book on the shelf first.

”Legend of Shooting Heroes” - this is the name of the book. The page turns yellow. It looks like it has been for some years. What's more strange is that there is only the title on the cover, and there is no information about the author or publisher. When he opens it, the first page is the main body without any redundant information.

The text was no different from what he had read.

Put down the book and picked up the jade pendant. I didn't find anything special. I turned over the white paper with the name, and there was a line of small characters behind it.

”If you decide to choose this life, put your blood on the jade pendant!”

It's grandpa's handwriting. He can recognize it.

A strange feeling arises spontaneously, as if suddenly from reality to fantasy.

Growing up in a family with a bookstore, he loved reading since childhood, especially all kinds of literary works. Later, he became more fond of online novels. The routine of dripping blood to recognize the Lord is not strange, but he never thought that all this would happen to him.

Is it a trap? He carefully recalled the routines in those novels, but he couldn't be sure in the end. The relatives who have been with each other for more than 20 years have hidden such a secret, which makes him no longer trust the world for a moment.

Or is this grandpa's last prank? If so, he will be even more disappointed.

If it is true, after a drop of blood recognizes the Lord, his life will change greatly. But this kind of life will be accompanied by great danger.

Do you want to try?

The young man fell into hesitation.

Although he was an orphan and raised by his grandfather, life was not difficult. There is a bookstore at home. Relatively speaking, life is pretty good. Not long after he graduated from University, he worked in a company in Pujiang, and the treatment was fairly good. Originally, he planned to pick up grandpa when he settled down, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive the news of Grandpa's death. When he received the news, Grandpa's funeral had been finished.

It is said that this was specially entrusted by grandpa.

If it was true, he could probably understand grandpa's state of mind at that time.

”Forget it, whether true or false, since it's grandpa's hope, try it.” For a long time, the young man murmured, ”if you fail, you should repay the kindness of raising for more than 20 years.”

He got up and reconfirmed that the door was closed. The young man returned to the warehouse, sat down in front of the desk, took out the dagger already prepared in the drawer, gritted his teeth and made a cut in his hand.

Stinging and penetrating, the red blood beads condensed on his fingers. Without thinking more, he put his bloody fingers on the jade pendant.

A special force came from the jade pendant. A small wound seemed to become a river with a breach. The young man felt that his blood had been pouring into the jade pendant and could not get rid of it.

”Is it really a trap, a special sacrificial ceremony?” The young man thought, and his consciousness became more and more confused.

”Ding Dong, find the right host, activate the system...” at this time, an ethereal voice sounded in the youth's mind.

”Fortunately, I really inherited a system...” the young man's confused consciousness clarified, and was immediately submerged by a stronger flow of information. He didn't hear the following information again.
