Di Tian absorbed the information from
"So, every day, I'll have access to random items ranging from five to twenty-four in the system shop," Di Tian mused, his mind already racing with possibilities. "And if I want to explore them sooner, I can use my spirit coins to refresh the selection."
The idea of discovering a plethora of treasures and unique items daily filled him with anticipation. He knew that obtaining valuable equipment, consumables, and other resources from the system shop could be the key to getting stronger and surviving in the coming chaotic times.
With renewed determination, Di Tian made a mental note to check the system shop regularly and save up his spirit coins for future opportunities. The potential rewards were too enticing to ignore, and he was ready to seize every chance to enhance his strength and skills.
Di Tian's heart raced with excitement as he opened the system shop, eager to explore the array of powerful items that awaited him.

Di Tian's excitement grew as he read through the descriptions of each item. The Nine Revolutions Elixir promised to unleash his true combat potential, doubling his physical prowess. The Dragon Ascension Brew held the potential to take his dragon abilities to new heights, exclusive to his true dragon heritage.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Fruit intrigued him, offering illusions and transformations akin to the mythical fox. The Soul Purification Pill presented a means to heal and strengthen his soul, while the Phoenix Feather Salve, with its flames of rebirth, offered a lifeline in dire situations.
However, the prices of the items gave him pause. Di Tian's excitement waned as he carefully studied the prices of the items in the system shop. A sense of realization washed over him, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment and frustration.
"Sigh, and here I thought that I have become a rich guy," he murmured, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "Only now do I understand that I'm still poor."
His dreams of affluence shattered by the hefty price tags, Di Tian couldn't deny his lingering desire for the other items that seemed just out of his reach. The realization that he needed to amass a substantial amount of spirit coins weighed heavily on him.
"Why the hell are these things so fucking expensive!!!" Di Tian couldn't contain his frustration any longer and shouted at the sky, releasing the pent-up emotions that had been simmering within him.
[Now do you feel better?]
"Yeah, but just a little bit," Di Tian replied bitterly, his disappointment still evident. All these amazing items were tantalizingly displayed before him, but their high prices felt like an insurmountable barrier. It was akin to a hungry man gazing longingly at a sumptuous feast but being unable to take even a single bite.
As Di Tian stood before the system shop, his mind wrestled with the decision before him. The Nine Revolutions Elixir beckoned him with its enticing promise of heightened combat power and physical strength. The temptation to possess such a potent item was undeniable, and he could almost feel the surge of power coursing through his veins.
He recalled the arduous battles he had faced, the efforts he had made to accumulate those spirit coins. Unlike protagonists in novels, earning system currency wasn't a simple task for him. He couldn't just slay a few rabbits or boars and be showered with rewards.
Taking a deep breath, Di Tian made a crucial decision. Reflecting on the perilous encounter with the lion, he recognized that his survival had been due to fortunate circumstances. While he emerged victorious that time, he couldn't ignore the near-tragic consequences he narrowly avoided. If he had been even slightly more fatigued and had succumbed to unconsciousness after the battle, he might have become a feast for the vultures, with his second chance at life slipping away in the blink of an eye.
"I was fortunate to survive that encounter," Di Tian whispered to himself, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "But luck won't always be on my side. I must exercise greater caution and be prepared for any future challenges. Having lifesaving trump cards is a must."
The memory of the life-and-death struggle served as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of the world he now inhabited. He understood that overconfidence could lead to disastrous consequences. This newfound awareness urged him to be more vigilant and mindful of his actions.
As the system notifications chimed in his mind, Di Tian's spirit coins were depleted once again. He couldn't help but feel a slight pang of regret at the sudden emptiness of his coin balance. However, he quickly reminded himself of the importance of the Nine Revolutions Elixir as a potential lifesaving trump card in dire situations.
"Being penniless is a small price to pay for securing my survival," Di Tian mused, his resolve strengthening as he recognized the value of the item he had acquired. Despite the temporary setback in his financial status, he knew that the investment in such powerful items would be crucial for his growth and survival in the coming perilous times of the world he now inhabited.
"Sigh, if only I had more quests to earn spirit coins from!" Di Tian sighed wearily, his thoughts echoing the sentiment of frustration. Earning spirit coins seemed to be a constant challenge, and the scarcity of quests available to him only added to his weariness.
[Quest Name: Monkey Mayhem]
[Quest Description: A group of mischievous monkeys has overrun the peaceful persimmon trees in the forest. These playful creatures have been causing chaos, disrupting the tranquility of the forest. Show them the strength of a True Dragon and bring an end to the monkey mayhem!]
[Quest Objective: Kill all the Monkeys (0/100)]
[Quest Reward: Spirit Coins +200, Enhancement Points +20, Experience Points +1000]
[Accept Quest?]
"Good system, you know exactly what I want. Of course, accept the quest," Di Tian affirmed. As he reviewed the quest details, he couldn't help but notice the familiar location where the group of mischievous monkeys had appeared. It was near the very fruit trees where he had previously engaged in a fierce slaughter with another group of monkeys. What a coincidence it was to be led back to the same spot.
"Looks like these monkeys just don't know when to quit," Di Tian remarked, a wry smile playing on his lips as he contemplated the task ahead. It seemed that fate had its own plans for him, giving him the opportunity to slaughter more monkeys to appease his bad mood.
"I would prefer to go after I'm fully healed, but it will take at least two to three more days," Di Tian contemplated. He didn't want to be reckless and go hunting while he wasn't fully healed. If some powerful predator attacked him, he could end up injured again.
[If I may suggest,]
[You can level up and gain extra stats, and in the process, your injuries will also be healed to perfection.]
Di Tian weighed the options carefully. It was true that leveling up would provide him with significant benefits, including an increase in stats that could prove essential in facing future challenges. Moreover, having his injuries healed during the process was an added bonus, allowing him to embark on the quest fully prepared.
With
"Alright, let's do it," Di Tian said resolutely, taking the Experience Crystal in his hands. He focused his intent on the small stone, and with a gentle crush, the experience points within it flowed into him. A surge of energy coursed through his body, and he felt his wounds mend rapidly, as if being cocooned in a healing embrace, slowly his consciousness became fade.
…
After sometimes...
Di Tian's hazy consciousness began to clear up.
As the notifications echoed in his mind, Di Tian could sense the power surging within him, a tangible manifestation of his growth. The pain of his injuries faded away, replaced by a sense of vigor and vitality that infused every fiber of his being.

"A new Quest awaits."
