Cultivation: My System Is Out to Kill Me

System: "Sorry, Host. Copying and learning the 'Spirit Fire Art' this time will cost 100 Merit Points. The System has detected that your balance is insufficient. Would you like to recharge?"

"Fine, I'll recharge, okay?"

"You have 100 years of life remaining. One year of your remaining lifespan can be exchanged for 100 Merit Points. How many Merit Points would you like to recharge?"

Ye Cheng's face turned green with anger. 'System, what are you getting at? You want me to recharge with my life?!'

"Bingo! Congratulations, Host, you got it right!"

"Could I just recharge for... half a year?"

"Sorry, Host. The minimum recharge is one year."

"Then one year it is!"

"Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host. The System has automatically deducted one year of your lifespan. Your current balance is 99 years, and you have 100 Merit Points. Would you like to continue copying and learning the 'Spirit Fire Art'?"

Ye Cheng thought, Obviously! I spend money in the game to have fun. Am I supposed to save Merit Points for the New Year?

"Learn it!"
