1488 Excellent Conditions (1/2)

\”Oh, little guy!\”

Xu Que smiled smugly, \”Just say it. What's the danger?\”

He was well aware that the System had become much more intelligent after its upgrade. \”But so what if it was intelligent? Could it be more intelligent than Xu Que, the Act-Tough Saint?\”

\”Could it not explain clearly what was going on with the restrictive barrier?\”

DING! \”Hidden behind the restrictive barrier is an extremely strong presence. After the System has inspected it, it seems that there is an 80 percent chance of confirming that the strong presence appears to be human beings deep in sleep. They number at least 50 people, of which the highest cultivation stage is at least Celestial Prime, and there are most likely ten of them.\”

The System finally gave a satisfactory answer to Xu Que.

But Xu Que was astonished. \”The Treasure Pavilion's restrictive barrier actually concealed all those people behind it?\”

\”Furthermore, there were actually ten powerful Celestial Primes among the human beings deep asleep?\”

\”Could it be that the powerful beings who'd disappeared from the Heaven Palace Sect were actually all deep asleep here?\”

\”Did this mean that once he opened the restrictive barrier, would he possibly wake up these powerful beings and release them out into the world?\”

\”F*ck, why should I?\”

\”I, the Act-Tough Saint, am here to fish around to find treasure and other good stuff, but not to rescue some big shots.\”

\”Forget about it. Let's just leave. No reason for us to wade in these murky waters,\” Xu Que said.

Xu Que immediately decided to withdraw.

However, just then the System beep sounded again.

DING! \”After examining the situation, the System finds that, in addition to the sleeping human beings behind the restrictive barrier, there are also a large number of Celestial Artifacts and other major treasures. I strongly recommend that the host open the restrictive barrier. There is a 70 percent chance of not waking up the sleeping parties.\”

\”Oh, d*mn if I believe your nefarious words. So what if it's a 70 percent chance? Doesn't that mean there's a 30 percent chance of them waking up? I've never put much stock in this kind of probability. It's too deceiving.\” Xu Que waved his hands and rejected the System's advice.

He understood about the intentions of the System. Its goal was nothing else but to make him face up to difficulties so that his growth would accelerate and in that way enhance his own strength.

But for Xu Que, a person who never did anything without knowing that he would profit from it, it was really too difficult for him to take a huge risk like this without a good cause.

He had even less of a need for killing enemies to gain experience. There were still countless Celestial Kings in the Heaven Continent waiting for him to kill. \”Why would he need to open this place and release the threatening powerful Celestial Prime beings? Moreover, there were as many as ten of them.\”

\”Why would he do that?\”

DING! Given the high level of danger behind the restrictive barrier, if the host were to kill these opponents, he could activate the Strike to Kill and Acquire Nature Mode.\”

The System seemed to feel worried that Xu Que was really going to slip away, and it immediately made a compromise. It actually agreed for him to kill the Celestial King and activate the nature mode.

Xu Que immediately stopped in his tracks. He was somewhat moved, but... something was not right that the System was offering to give him such big concessions.

This was really out of line with the System's unscrupulous nature.

\”No, I've thought about it. I, Xu Que, am basically not that kind of person. I can never sell my own body and soul for Charm Points. Not to mention it is just a nature mode. Once I upgrade the version, I can activate it later!\” Xu Que came to his senses and righteously rejected the System again.

\”.....\” The System instantly fell into a silence.

Xu Qu sneered to himself. He beckoned to the crowd to get ready to leave all together.

DING! \”.....\”

Suddenly, another beep rang out in his mind.

DING! \”After checking your accounts, we see that the host Xu Que has taken out a loan of 500,000 Acting Tough Points, which he has not paid for to date. Including the interest on this loan, the total amount owed has reached 5 million Acting Tough Points. Can the host please repay immediately? Otherwise the System will force the restrictive barrier to open!\”

\”F*ck!\” Xu Que cursed loudly.

\”What's wrong?\”
