[Name: Yang Shi]
[Identity: The sole heir of the Yang Family, beggar]
[Life Span: 18/70]
[Realm: Body Refining Realm, Second Layer]
[Spirit Root: None]
[Comprehension: 20]
[Qi Fortune: 10]
[Talent: Fun-seeker (Mortal Level), Bitter-sweet (Mortal Level)]
[Skills:
Basic Boxing Skill (Roughly Understand), Dog Beating Stick Technique (Progressing Well)]
[Status: Injured, Hungry, Cold]
Yang Genshuo chuckled upon glancing at the description of the talents.
[Fun-seeker (Mortal Level): Possesses a unique attitude towards life and an optimistic spirit, slightly increasing comprehension.]
[Bitter-sweet (Mortal Level): Efficiency in doing things will fluctuate significantly according to mood, with happiness being +20% and sadness -20%.]
"Alright, the talents are quite spirited, no wonder the scenario starts with having to flee."
Although Yang Shi didn't have any outstanding attributes or a Spirit Root, the combination of these two white, Mortal Level talents along with their Bonds was pretty interesting.
Yang Genshuo liked optimistic people, even if it was a misguided optimism, which was still better than a correct pessimism.
"The comprehension is 10 points higher than that of an ordinary person, not too shabby."
Beyond that, there wasn't much else to highlight.
Apart from the Character Card, he could also use the "Incense Fire Value" he just received.
[Incense Fire Value has endless uses; it is the tie between you and your descendants. (More wonderful functions will be unlocked as the Family grows.)]
For now, he could only use one feature:
[Manifestation: Can convey messages to descendants through visions and words, 1 Incense Fire/ message.]
"I can leave him messages, which is crucial."
Beyond these basic functions, Yang Genshuo could only drag his view around to check the surroundings.
A Nameless Graveyard in the wild, covered with white snow.
He couldn't make out the areas beyond the graveyard clearly; his vision was limited to within 100 meters of Yang Shi, with everything beyond that being just a rough outline.
For instance, in the south, he could faintly see a small ancient city.
After the flow of game time stopped, a "Reward Countdown" appeared on the right side of the screen.
30 minutes, if there's no operation, it will default to no reward.
Of course, Yang Genshuo intended to bestow a reward on Yang Shi, to test if this strange game really could transfer what he had in hand into the game.
"If items can be transferred between the two worlds, that would be amazing."
"Hmm... what should I give him?"
He stood up and paced around his study, constantly pondering Yang Shi's current situation.
"An injured beggar... weak in strength... homeless... and frequently starving."
"The game shows that offerings are once a year, so as the only descendant who can offer sacrifices to me, he must first be able to live safely until next year."
"That way, I can build a sustainable system of worship and rewards."
Under the pressure of the countdown, he couldn't think through everything, so he prioritized the important matters.
"What I currently have, that can best achieve this goal is..."
He looked around and saw the self-heating rice meal and canned food that he had just brought out from the underground safe room.
Immediately, Yang Genshuo's eyes lit up.
"Got it!"
...
Outside Qingshi County, at the Nameless Graveyard.
After paying respects, Yang Shi felt uneasy and somewhat guilty.
After all, cutting ties with his ancestors sounded like asking for a beating.
"Forgive me, great ancestor, I had no other choice... the grudge is too heavy, and I, a Spirit Rootless little beggar, let alone Immortal Cultivation, even my Martial Arts talent is unpredictable; I might even struggle to defeat a guard dog."
"From now on, I'll go by Liu Shi. If fate allows, we shall meet again on mountains or by rivers!"
"If by some great fortune I become a Pre-celestial Master, I'll change my surname back to Yang, or... you can take a slight loss and take my surname, Liu."
After speaking, Yang Shi felt much more at ease, knowing that what he had said was unfilial, but he was well aware of his physique. If he continued to be blinded by hatred, he would lose his only advantage and accomplish nothing in his lifetime.
But suddenly, Yang Shi tensed up.
A chilly wind began to howl behind him, and the ashy remains from offerings were blown about.
A golden palm emerged from the grave.
Slap!
Yang Shi was smacked to the ground, golden light shining brightly, and before the grave, they formed two large characters:
"Unfilial!"
Yang Shi: "!"
Yang Shi glanced around and saw that only his own footprints marked the stark white snow, and coupled with the fact that he had just finished the ritual, this divine power was clearly...
Plop!
Yang Shi immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowing vigorously.
"Ancient ancestor, spare me! Ancient ancestor, spare me!"
"I must have been possessed just now!"
"What kind of evil spirit took over my body? My ancestor is an immortal, who cannot tolerate such insolence!"
The air fell silent...
Yang Shi coughed twice and said, "Ahahaha~ Ancient ancestor, it seems the evil spirit has fled in fear of your majesty."
Watching Yang Shi's poor acting, Yang Genshuo's mouth twitched, suppressing the urge to slap him once more.
It cost 1 Incense Fire Value just now, and only 9 points remain. I can't waste it; it should be used at critical times to pass on messages to Yang Shi.
Meanwhile, after completing his assessment, Yang Genshuo had also decided on a reward for Yang Shi.
"Go then! To my doomsday safe house!"
[Reward Complete]
[To prevent unforeseeable bugs in the game, any textual information inherent in the rewarded items will be erased during transmission, only the name of the item can be preserved...]
With a loud bang!
A small house wrapped in thick steel plates landed on the clearing next to the gravesite, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Yang Shi's eyes widened as he gazed at the house emerging from the dust, his mouth forming a large "O" shape.
"Whoa... Which great immortal is my ancient ancestor?"
Yang Shi looked back at the simple grave, now filled with reverence.
[Your descendant Yang Shi has witnessed the divine power of the ancestor and is more devoted to you; Incense Fire Value +5]
"Good, that's another 5 sentences I can speak."
"However, everything I needed to tell him at this stage I've already placed inside the house; let him explore on his own."
Having confirmed that he could bestow his safe house as a reward to Yang Shi, Yang Genshuo had written a full set of instructions.
To help Yang Shi properly use his safe house.
Inside, there were enough supplies for one person to live for a whole year!
"It's up to you now, my wayward descendant."
"It's this big? All for me?"
Yang Shi tentatively asked the ancestral grave, but no miracle responded.
He cautiously entered the steel safe house, whose door was already open.
What met his eyes was an incredibly neat and orderly modern space, dominated by stainless steel materials that gave the safe house a cold and organized look.
Haphazard shelves and cabinets were filled with jars and cans that Yang Shi could not understand.
In the center of the room was a square table with a letter on it.
Yang Shi opened the letter.
"To my dear descendant Yang Shi:"
"My name is Yang Genshuo, and by the time you read this letter, I will have died..."
"But not completely."
"My soul has awakened, and I know you are the only descendant of the Yang family."
"This house was a safe house I once had in the mortal world, inside are some good things I used; I now bestow them upon you. Cherish the supplies here."
"Below is an introduction to this safe house:"
"This house contains a large quantity of food, along with some advanced tools you might never have seen before..."
"..."
"..."
Since there was limited time for the reward, Yang Genshuo only included some key information, encouraging him to boldly use the items inside.
After all, for a place that seems ancient, 21st century technology is a bit too advanced.
Upon reading the letter, Yang Shi had an epiphany.
"My ancestor called me 'my dear descendant'... it means he holds me dear in his heart and isn't truly angry with me."
"Thank you, ancient ancestor, thank you so much~"
"Love you, ancient ancestor!"
[Your descendant Yang Shi feels the care from the ancestor and is more devoted to you; Incense Fire Value +5]
"Are you focusing on the wrong thing here?!"
Yang Genshuo's forehead veins pulsed in frustration.
