Honghuang: Choosing to Lay Low Until Invincible from the Start

A friendly reminder: Don’t use your brain while reading!!! (Dear readers, because of some factors beyond my control, I’ve changed some of the settings and plot points. Some parts may not connect smoothly as a result, so I hope you’ll understand.) Lin Feng had just broken through to Earth Immortal when a System suddenly appeared: > **[Choice 1]**: Hide underground for a hundred years (Reward: Acquired Defensive Formation) > **[Choice 2]**: Rescue the green snake-shaped figure being besieged by chaos beasts to the southeast (Reward: Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation + karmic ties with Nuwa) > **[Choice 3]**: Lure the beast horde to attack the Three Pure Ones’ cave (Reward: Innate Spiritual Treasure, but incur the enmity of a Sage) > > Lin Feng gritted his teeth and chose 2, burning his vital essence to activate an escape technique. By the time he reached the battlefield, the green snake (Nuwa) was already badly wounded. He hurled the System-made “Counterfeit Immortal Slaying Sword Talisman” (single-use) to blast the beast horde back, then picked up the green snake and fled. > In a cave, Nuwa awoke and asked coldly, “Why did you save me?” Lin Feng smiled bitterly. “I couldn’t bear to see a beauty perish.” In truth, he was secretly delighted by the System notification: “Nuwa’s favorability +50%. Acquired the crafting method for the Mountains and Rivers State Map!”
