Lie Wei Ying went over towards some of the eggs and looked at them curiously. He had this one little animal following him which was kind of annoying. He had to find something to do with it, and he also had to make money for his dad's problem in the next five hours.
He could tell by where the sun was in the sky. It seemed to be getting late and the sun was setting.
He looked back at the animal and scratched his head. Perhaps he could bring this thing home and sell it?
"System, do you know how much that girl with the tail is worth?"
She was already a lot taller than she was a few minutes ago. He even had to give her clothes off her mom's dead body so she had something to wear. Before all she had on her was the egg, and then it sort of cracked. Before it fell of he gave her a dress.
She sort of looked like a walking mermaid, and was very pretty, however she more resembled a dinosaur.
"Just hop away from her Lie Wei Ying, hmph," The system said, "You don't need a daughter when you are three years old."
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. It was his first time having a daughter and he was already abandoning her. What did this mean for his future?
Lie Wei Ying hopped away as a small little lady who seemed to be growing up by the second memorized her dad's image. Perhaps someday she would go find her dad. However, it probably wouldn't be for a long time. It seemed like a second later childhood amnesia took over. She went out to get experience, and eat things twice her size. Her parents were gone, and it was time for her to leave the nest!
Lie Wei Ying seemed to soar from place to place as he hopped. He had yet to realize he could fly because it was such a sharp increase in power.
However, on his third hop he seemed to land in front of a pleasant looking pyramid.
Perhaps there is gold in there!
"You've encountered the defenders of the great tomb. Rank: Golden Core Stage."
Lie Wei Ying got scared. He was just Qi Condensation like ten minutes ago, and there was all these angry looking men walking up to him with sharp weapons.
"You dare try to rob the great tomb!"
Lie Wei Ying, with his little small vocal cords stuttered, "No, I would never do such a thing," he said. Truthfully, he was being honest, he just landed here by accident.
The system, however, scoffed. It decided to remain quite so the boy could slaughter the evil looking men, and get some treasure. In fact, he didn't need to even go inside the dangerous looking tomb. All he really needed was these men's necklaces, and he could easily make his family happy for a thousand years.
Why was that?
These men were made from silver, and their necklaces were gold!
They also looked like puny mortals to the great system.
"Believe in yourself, Lie Wei Ying," The system didn't want to lose another master so early again. He actually had lost more than one before, and it would really suck if he lost to an evil troop that was at this boy's rank.
…
Lie Wei Ying hopped back as he landed on a tree.
A hundred silver men approached him as a glowing tomb blasted some sunlight on the heating up battle.
All around him the trees seemed to be breaking to pieces as he shot off from tree to tree. These golden men were much stronger than he expected, and he didn't even have a weapon.
"System, can you grant me a weapon? I gave you a life already!"
The system shook his head. These men were too weak to use a weapon on.
….
Lie Wei Ying got nervous. The system didn't talk to him.
For the last five minutes, all he heard was this voice talking to him, but now it shut up. This was horribly bad!
The silver men smiled as they saw the shivering boy. It felt so much better that they only had to protect the king's jewels from this weakling.
A hundred of them came from all sides as Lie Wei Ying looked like the center of a flower about to collapse on itself.
"Just finish them already," The system screamed. It was too early to buy a weapon for this boy. That was like for later after he started his first challenge.
He already had it planned, and he would not waste it here!
It was meant for places of great experience. Hmph, the boy was fighting people at his own level. This should have been finished twenty seconds ago when it started!
Lie Wei Ying looked down at his fists, and tried to see what the system saw in him. His fists were so small and the silver men were like three times his size.
He was dressed in exquisite clothing that his mom and dad had made for him.
On the corner of his eyes were blackish curly locks, and he wasn't very tall.
"Boom!"
A force shot out of his little fist as he tried to retaliate.
"AAAAH!"
"Congratulations, you've killed the one hundred guards of the great pyramid."
Exp + 1000
Lie Wei Ying scratched his head. All the men just died when he moved his little fist forward.
"What was happening?"
The system felt approval for this boy. Unfortunately, because these monsters were at his level it gave him no experience. However, it was better this way. It would make him more overpowered.
….
"So, how much do you think these gold necklaces are worth?"
Lie Wei Ying hopped back towards the north.
He still didn't realize he could fly yet.
There was a small little moon floating in the sky hanging out next to the setting sun. His house in that direction.
Fire Empire was in the west, and his little town, ember village, was in the outskirts of that.
He hopped very quickly, and sometimes would find himself scared as he waved his arms as he fell onto the ground.
After about one hundred hops he finally landed outside of his house.
However, when he got there he noticed his dad was with some very unfriendly looking people.
