[Finding hidden treasures] [Monster Hunting and Leveling Up] [Slow Development] [No Harem] [Cultivator] [No Romance] [No Female Lead]
Shen Yan transmigrates into the world of cultivation and becomes an outer disciple of the Qinglan Sect, with an ordinary aptitude and an ordinary family background.
The good news is, he has a System too.
The bad news is, other people's Systems give them rewards for completing tasks. His only holds out its hand and asks for things.
He puts in a spirit stone, and it's gone.
He puts in a scrap talisman, and that's gone too.
After waiting for a long while, Shen Yan can't help asking:
“Where's my reward?”
[None]
It gives him no cultivation techniques, no pills, no boost to his cultivation, and doesn't even return what he just handed over.
For a while, Shen Yan suspects that what he's bound to isn't a System at all, but a bottomless pit.
Then he gradually discovers that although it never gives rewards, it does record the things it takes in.
Scrap talismans, ruined pills, broken magical artifacts, strange fragments nobody wants...
The more it collects, the more it knows.
First it catalogs them, then analyzes and extrapolates their secrets, gradually restoring things that have long been damaged or lost.
Other people rely on their Systems to support them.
Shen Yan can only earn his own spirit stones, learn skills, and scavenge the junk everyone else throws away, then slowly feed his System until it grows stronger.
But as he keeps feeding it, he suddenly realizes something seems off.
It eats scraps nobody wants.
It eats fragments from ancient ruins too.
Later, it even suggests that a wall can be handed in.
Then one day, Shen Yan stands inside a secret realm on the verge of collapse and sees a new prompt appear before his eyes.
[Eligible submission detected]
[Qingxuan Secret Realm]
Shen Yan stares at it for a long time.
“Wait...”
“Now you eat entire secret realms too?”
