At the aerospace airport, a plane bound for Country A slowly took off.
Looking at the pitch-black sky outside the window, Ye Bufan finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Now he should be safe.
"Boom!"
"Crackle crackle"
In an instant, flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder erupted outside the plane.
"Passengers, please pay attention. Passengers, please pay attention. A thunderstorm has suddenly developed. Please remain in your seats to prevent accidents."
Damn.
Ye Bufan was certain this was definitely targeting him.
"Namu..."
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was inescapable.
Now in this situation, he could only temporarily cling to the Buddha's feet to comfort himself.
"Ding, self-rescue system activated successfully."
After chanting for who knows how long, a familiar mechanical sound suddenly rang out in Ye Bufan's mind.
Well damn, the system finally came.
The standard equipment for a transmigrator. Ye Bufan thought the system had abandoned him. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
"Host, nice to meet you. Since you faked your death to escape the first life-threatening crisis, you have successfully activated this system."
"This system is dedicated to saving innocent people persecuted by the children of heaven's will."
Ye Bufan was shocked and asked in his heart: "The first life-threatening crisis, could it be... "
"That's right, the death of the protagonist's father was your destined fate. Being alive was the accident."
The system's mechanical voice echoed coldly in his mind.
"Save me! I don't want to die yet. I had no choice before. Now I just want to be a good person. System, give me a chance!"
"Don't worry, host. This system came to rescue the host. With the system's existence, the host's mortality rate is reduced to 50 percent. If utilized properly, surviving is not necessarily impossible."
Fifty percent, there was still a 50 percent chance of being written out. This system was a bit shabby.
"Should I leave then?"
Noticing Ye Bufan's disdain, the system asked indifferently.
"No, no, no..."
The system was shabby, but Ye Bufan currently had no other options.
Open the panel
【Host: Ye Bufan】
【Self-rescue value: 1】
【Attributes: Speed 60, Physique 60, Strength 80, Protection 0】 {Normal human average is 80, protection excluded}
【Skills: None】
This panel was obviously Ye Bufan's current attributes.
Looking at the store again, there was only a starter pack worth one point pitifully lying there alone.
"System, how do I obtain this self-rescue value?"
"Every day the host survives, the self-rescue value will automatically increase by one point. If the host encounters major dangers but manages to survive, an indefinite number of self-rescue points will also be rewarded accordingly."
"Will there be other items in the store?"
"Yes, after the host purchases the starter pack, the items in the system store will become visible."
Click to purchase
【Self-rescue value: 0】
As expected, all kinds of products appeared in the system store: Plot Spoilers Encyclopedia, Golden Bell, Iron Cloth Shirt, Future Medicine, Universal Antidote, System Folder...
The products were naturally all top quality goods, but the prices really made one weep.
Just that Plot Spoilers Encyclopedia alone cost a full thousand self-rescue points. Relying solely on the one point automatic daily increase, it would take a whole three years to buy a copy. And one needed this killer weapon.
That System Folder which had an unknown function was even more expensive at a full ten thousand self-rescue points. The price was simply outrageous.
Fortunately, some other items had more affordable prices.
【Iron Cloth Shirt】: 10 self-rescue points, purchased to take effect immediately.
Passive effect: When wearing a shirt, the material quality of the shirt is comparable to an iron plate.
【Golden Bell】: 50 self-rescue points, purchased to take effect immediately.
Passive effect: The whole body is enveloped by an invisible large bell. When attacked, it manifests and blocks with the defensive power of a golden bell.
Of course, the distance between these goods and Ye Bufan was still too far. Whether it was the Golden Bell or the Iron Cloth Shirt, he couldn't afford either one.
"System, open the starter pack."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a futuristic humanoid robot, a Country A manor, and a guaranteed profitable business exchange voucher."
Ye Bufan scratched his head. After quite a while, he asked, "System, I understand the Country A manor, but what are the robot and exchange voucher used for?"
"Reply to host. The futuristic humanoid robot can freely transform into various forms. Robot exclusive software can be purchased from the store to upgrade it. For example, if you buy it a Golden Bell, it can immediately learn it and become a martial arts master. If you purchase business expertise, it will become an extremely capable business talent. As long as there is sufficient memory, there is nothing it cannot learn."
"The business voucher is simpler. By using it, it will guarantee that any industry the host purchases will definitely be profitable."
"I have a system yet still need to earn money myself. Don't other systems directly grant tens or hundreds of billions?"
Ye Bufan really didn't expect his system to be so shabby that he still had to earn money himself.
"Reply to host. This system is dedicated to serving the host in the most scientific and safe way possible. Only self-earned money is the safest. The examples raised by the host are castles in the air that destroy the market. Once the market is destroyed, money becomes worthless, no different from scrap paper."
This argument was reasonable. There was only so much money circulating in the market. An influx of suspicious money would surely impact the healthy and orderly development of the market, similar to the harm caused by counterfeit goods.
"But System, didn't you also reward me with a manor? Are you sure there's no issue with that?"
"Please rest assured, host. This system has its own private assets. The manor's source is absolutely reasonable and legal."
Well damn. This system even had private money. Ye Bufan was rendered speechless.
The flight speed was very fast. During the time Ye Bufan spent understanding the system functions, the plane had already entered Country A airspace and began its descent.
Country A, Jier City, was also Country A's capital city.
Ye Bufan had only intended to transfer here briefly before going to another city.
But since the system's manor was located here, he simply stayed.
The land area of the manor rewarded by the system was massive. Naturally it was impossible for it to be located in prime real estate spots like Jier City center. Rather, it sat atop a fairly large hill adjacent to the city.
Fortunately, the airport's location was also relatively remote, saving considerable transportation time.
After getting off the plane, Ye Bufan randomly flagged down a taxi and soon arrived at the manor gates.
He paid the taxi fare, then entered the manor amidst the envious gaze of the taxi driver.
The manor occupied an extremely vast area, a full hundred-plus acres, enveloping the entire hilltop.
But inside was devoid of people, appearing somewhat eerie late at night.
Fortunately, Ye Bufan still had the system voice in his mind that he could chat with, making things not as scary.
