Chapter 2 Expansion System
Sitting under a big tree, Jiang Xiaoyu supported her chin with her hand.
The surrounding buildings are all in an ancient style, which is very out of place with modern life. Even in the capital, there aren't such old buildings.
He has been like this for a month now, and from the moment he woke up on his own, after understanding the situation around him, he felt very annoyed.
That's right, I crossed over myself.
Alright, originally with Jiang Xiao Yu's optimistic and cheerful personality, he would be melancholic for at most four or five days before facing reality and starting his new life. After all, he wasn't dead yet, was he? No matter where he was, as long as he was alive, then he should live a good life.
Damn it, it seems like this time one's own fate can't be decided by oneself.
Originally, I wanted to be a laborer in this village, working from dawn till dusk. This kind of life is not bad either. Without the hustle and bustle of the city, without car horns, without neon lights, just an unspoiled environment, it's what he has always dreamed of.
But his brain seemed to have something extra.
Promotion system!
Inside, there are all kinds of books, with extraordinary skills and various knowledge! And one's own task is to promote these things. Promoting is just promoting, but this promotion also has its own requirements!
The so-called requirement is that you can impart the extraordinary skills, but only to those who are recognized by the promotion system. If not recognized, then you can only promote it outwards, and there will be no other way but death.
Of course, that's nothing. What's even more perverted is that this broken system actually allowed him to accumulate 100 promotion points within a year! Otherwise, it would be a dead end, anyway, just death.
What's even more infuriating is that I possess a set of peerless secret manuals as tall as a mountain, but on each one, there are four large red warning characters: "Cannot be cultivated!"
Can only promote others to cultivate, can't cultivate themselves, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly wanted to scold: Last year bought a watch!
However, there are also benefits for oneself. If the person cultivates and promotes the secret recipe that they have created, then they will also receive corresponding benefits. Moreover, as the person's cultivation increases, their own benefits will also continue to rise, and they can also obtain more promotion points!
For example, in a game, Jiang Xiaoyu recommends a new player, and as the new player's level increases, he himself can also receive corresponding rewards, such as experience, items, etc.
The cultivation obtained from the promotion system is just the cultivation and promotion points.
Points can be exchanged for many items, there's nothing you can't think of!
"In one year, a hundred points, this is freaking ridiculous!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed. Unfortunately, there were no cigarettes here, so he couldn't smoke one to vent his emotions, or else he believed his mood would be much better.
This promotion point is absolutely not that easy to get, it's not like you promote someone and immediately get the points, but rather this person cultivates the secret book after reaching a certain level of realm, only then can they obtain it.
What if the person is a waste and has no progress after practicing for a year? According to his calculations, as well as various probabilities that have emerged, the best plan is also to promote at least 300 people within half a year, only then will he be able to get 100 promotion points!
"Whatever, I'll just have to try. I've already wasted a month, and I still have eleven months left. If I can find an extraordinary genius to cultivate my secret recipe, then I might be able to survive." Jiang Xiaoyu gathered his spirits. This plan was absolutely as likely as winning the lottery jackpot, it was utterly absurd.
But a month of decadence is enough, if this continues, the remaining eleven months may not have the mood to pass. According to Jiang Xiaoyu's thinking, living one day means living well for that day. Wasting a month is already shameful, and it absolutely cannot continue like this! I must cheer up!
"It's getting late, time to head back."
A slender and elegant woman walked up to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and gently patted his shoulder.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood up, flashed a smile at the other person, and nodded. Who knows what the creator was thinking, giving her such a devilish figure but also giving her such an ugly face.
There are many deep red freckles on his face, and there is also a scar from being scalded at the lower right corner of his face.
But Jiang Xiaoyu didn't think this face was ugly at all. On the contrary, he thought it was the most adorable face in the world.
The first thing he saw when he woke up was this woman, and he had been unconscious for three days. She had been taking care of him all the time, without missing a single detail. According to what she said, she found him fainted at the foot of the mountain when she went up the mountain to collect medicine.
This girl is indeed kind-hearted. The distance from the foot of the mountain to the village is not short, and she carried Jiang Xiaoyu, who was half a head taller than her, back.
After knowing the reason, Jiang Xiaoyu was extremely grateful. If it weren't for the other person, he would probably have ended up dead in the wilderness. At first, he also helped with some household chores and went up the mountain to pick herbs together. However, these past few days, his heart couldn't get over the fact that he only had eleven months left to live, so when there was nothing else to do, he would come here to stare blankly, under a big tree, being blown by the wind.
This woman is named Xu Rou, she is not a native of this village, but an outsider. The house she lives in is not very big, but next to it there is a small wooden hut, which is usually used to store medicinal materials. Jiang Xiaoyu's appearance led her to sleep in that room for three days, and after three days, the room was occupied by Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you up the mountain." Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu's smile, Xu Rou also smiled along with him, smiling very happily. She didn't know why, but she really liked the young man's smile in front of her. Maybe it was a bit sincere and a bit simple, so she thought he looked especially good-looking when he smiled.
Jiang Xiaoyu's appearance may not be considered extremely handsome, but he is absolutely the type of sunny boy. His optimistic and open-minded attitude makes him willing to face the world frankly, so he doesn't bother to pretend to be someone else.
She nodded and said, "You've been in a bad mood for the past few days and didn't even tell me. But now that you understand, it's fine."
Everyone has their own secrets, and she didn't delve deeper into it. To be honest, apart from knowing the other person's age and name, she knew nothing else about him, but she still let this man stay with her for a month, and who knows how long this will continue.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and didn't say much, but in his heart, he was a little regretful. The other person's figure, personality were all good, even the sound of their voice was like heavenly music, the only flaw was their face...
According to Jiang Xiaoyu's inference, if the freckles and scars on his face were removed, he would definitely look much better than now. I don't know if there is any way to remove these freckles.
Xu Rou had no qualms about her appearance, on the contrary, she parted her hair to reveal her face completely. How much courage does that take? If Jiang Xiaoyu were in her shoes and had a face like Xu Rou's, she would absolutely wear a mask or cover it up with her hair without hesitation.
Jiang Xiaoyu's background was very mysterious, but he felt that the woman who had saved him was even more mysterious. The other party had a super good medical skill, so the reputation in this village was not bad at all. However, she was not from this village, and Jiang Xiaoyu had also contacted people in the village one or two times.
He thus knew that the other party was from outside and not a local. From the other's words and deeds, as well as his own temperament, Jiang Xiaoyu believed that the other's identity was definitely not simple. Why would he come alone to such a small village? He was very curious, but he wouldn't ask too much. Because she never intended to tell her story, just like him.
However, Jiang Xiaoyu still felt that his own story was even more shocking and unconventional. If he were to tell it out loud, he estimated that it would stir up a huge commotion. He didn't belong in this world; he came from a technologically advanced world, not an ancient era like this one.
After dinner, Jiang Xiao Yu returned to his own small wooden hut. Inside, there was a simple small bed, and he lay down on it like that.
Then he fell into thought again, he still had eleven months to live! In order to make himself live a good life, he must think of a way to make the promotion points reach one hundred. Entering the promotion system in his mind, Jiang Xiao Yu helplessly discovered that his promotion points were a glaring zero. Wanting to add another 10 in front, the difficulty was extremely great.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something. In the promotion system, there was a promotion mall, he opened the mall, and the dazzling array of items made his eyes dizzy. He remembered that when the promotion system first appeared in his mind, Jiang Xiaoyu was excited for half a day, then groped for various interesting things.
And when he first opened the promotion mall, his head was about to faint, there were too many things, and various introductions made him excited. However, after learning that if he didn't get 100 promotion points within a year, he would die, his passionate heart was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and then extinguished.
This time, he was looking for something with a purpose, unlike the first time when he was so blind. Maybe there wasn't such a thing, but who knows if you don't look?
After a while, Jiang Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed in surprise: "There really is such a thing!"
I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect him to actually find me!
Waterless Cream: Excrete toxins, making facial skin white and smooth. (Refund if ineffective) Exchange points: Ten points...
It only costs ten points, which doesn't seem expensive. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu exited the promotion system, having already made up his mind. Since he had let the other person go to such great lengths, how could he not repay them? A drop of water in return for a gushing spring. Regardless of which world it was, Jiang Xiaoyu believed that good people were always in the minority, and he couldn't bear to disappoint this small group of people.
Even if the other party doesn't mean for you to repay them, you can't help but keep it in mind.
It seems that when nothing is happening, I should move around more in the village. According to the promotion system, only if the distance between me and the other person is within 100 meters can I sense people recognized by the promotion system and promote the secret recipe to them.
Whether for one's own life or for Xu Rou's face, one must work hard!
