1: Chapter 1 Awakening Entry Observation System

(Stabbed at the start, no more losses later)

(I heard that angel investors who add this to their library will get a System after reincarnating. Those who haven't received one can find Rotten Persimmon to get a replacement.)

—————————————

Squelch.

The cold blade pierced Mo Zixing's chest without warning.

The tip of the sword emerged from his chest, and a few drops of blood splashed onto the Secret Scroll in his hand.

"Senior Brother Mo, thank you for your help along the way."

Jiang Yuwei's voice came from behind him, and the hand holding the sword hilt pushed forward another half-inch:

"It's just a pity that this Secret Scroll is so important. I can only let you stay here forever with your secret."

"You..."

His Junior Sister's ample bosom pressed against Mo Zixing's back, but he was in no mood to enjoy it.

The sharp pain in his chest made his vision go dark.

His life force was leaking out through the wound.

A body at the Qi Refinement Stage was too fragile.

This single sword strike was almost certainly fatal.

Having transmigrated to this crappy cultivation world for three years, he had no System and no Heaven-Defying talent.

He had originally planned to just lie flat and stay at Qi Refining Level 3 as an Outer Sect salted fish. He didn't expect that taking a Junior Sister to a small Secret Realm would lead to this.

He remembered three days ago when Jiang Yuwei had just entered the Outer Sect and was being bullied by other Disciples; it was he who stepped in to resolve the situation.

Even for this discovery of the Secret Realm, the Yao Beasts were mostly killed by him, and he had promised to give her half of any Heaven And Earth Treasures they found.

He had protected her with all his heart as if she were his own Junior Sister, but she turned around and literally went for his heart!

So after three years of Transmigration and three years of laying low, he was finally going to die at the hands of the new Junior Sister he had taken under his wing?

This isn't how it's supposed to be in cultivation novels!

The Junior Sister should chat with him more, increase his favorability, occasionally give him gifts, and finally, they would watch a special CG together.

How was Jiang Yuwei so different? She actually gave him a fatal blow in secret.

This was nothing like the cultivation novels he had read. He couldn't accept it!

Mo Zixing felt time begin to slow down, his vision blurred, and the scene before him gradually turned gray and white. His whole body felt weightless.

Was he really going to die?

Just as his consciousness was about to dissipate, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a text box that had appeared beside Jiang Yuwei at some point.

At the same time, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in his head:

[Trait Observation System Activated]

The breath that Mo Zixing was about to lose was suddenly sucked back in.

System?

Holy crap, where were you earlier!

You only come online when I'm almost dead?

Were you just sleeping in my head for the past three years?

Complaining aside, his will to survive made him force himself to stare at the semi-transparent panel that popped up:

[Name: Jiang Yuwei]

[Gender: Female]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 1]

[Personality Traits:

1. self-serving: Puts own interests first, uses any means to achieve goals, willing to sacrifice others.

2. prudent: Cautious and not careless, often makes full preparations before acting.]

[Innate Luck:

1. Granddaughter of Luck (Gold): Possesses a certain amount of heavenly fate; opportunities are far beyond ordinary people.

2. Peerless Beauty (Gold): Naturally outstanding appearance, well-proportioned figure, full of charm; a beauty rarely seen even in ten miles and eight villages.

3. Husband-Prospering (Gold): Dual Cultivation with a bound Dao Companion can significantly increase the other party's Luck and Cultivation speed.]

[Acquired Luck: Not yet unlocked]

That's it?

Mo Zixing was completely stunned.

What does this mean?

So this System can only view a panel?

If it had been given to him a few days earlier, it might have served as a preventive measure.

Now that he's dying, if he can only see Jiang Yuwei's traits, then what the hell use is this System?

Even if she "helps her husband," with this top-tier self-serving personality, wouldn't whoever is with her be discarded in the wilderness after being squeezed dry?

And "Daughter of Luck" would be one thing, but what the heck is a "Granddaughter of Luck"?

Mo Zixing sighed in his heart, intending to close his eyes and accept his fate.

His gaze suddenly swept to a small, frantically flashing dice icon next to that [self-serving] trait.

Dice?

What is this?

It looks like it can be clicked?

Just as the thought occurred, the die began to spin rapidly.

A pale golden light instantly filled the entire panel, and the System prompt sounded again:

[The host can randomly refresh 3 optional traits to permanently replace any of the target's current personality traits at no cost.]

[Cooldown time: 24 hours]

[Refreshing traits...]

[Refresh complete. Please select any one of the following traits for replacement.]

[1. Evil: Uses any means necessary, prioritizes rooting out targets with no ability to resist.

2. Selfless: Unselfish and indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to retreat behind the scenes and contribute silently.

3. Benevolent: Kind-hearted, possesses compassion, unwilling to harm the innocent.]

Mo Zixing's vision went dark again when he saw these traits.

Since I've got a cheat, can't it be a bit more powerful?

Wouldn't it be great to just give me some invincible attributes to see how they feel?

Why is he playing random gacha when he's about to die?

And it's drawing for someone else.

Moreover, that first trait is a pure death warrant.

If he really switched it to Evil, wouldn't Jiang Yuwei finish him off on the spot and grind his bones to ash?

Then switch to Selfless?

Looking at the description, it doesn't seem to have much use.

Among the three traits, only this last one, Benevolent, offers a glimmer of hope.

"System, choose the third one!"

"Replace [self-serving] with [Benevolent]!"

"Hurry, hurry up! Any later and my corpse will start to stink!"

"[Confirm replacement?]"

"[After replacement, the target's core personality will be permanently changed unless the host modifies it again.]"

"Confirm, confirm, hurry up."

[Confirmation complete. Jiang Yuwei's personality trait has been successfully modified.]

[Modification function has entered a twenty-four-hour cooldown.]

[Other functions will be opened sequentially after the host obtains the primal yin of more women with Luck traits.]

"Wait, what?"

Before Mo Zixing could ask clearly, the previously frozen time began to return to normal, and the sharp pain in his chest swept through his body again.

Jiang Yuwei, who had already raised her sword again to silence him, suddenly trembled violently.

She seemed to have been struck by lightning, her movements suddenly freezing.

Looking at the murder weapon stuck in Mo Zixing's chest, Jiang Yuwei's hand holding the sword instantly let go. She retreated several steps, her face pale:

"I... what have I done?"

She looked at her blood-stained hands, then at the dying Mo Zixing who was unable to speak, her lips trembling.

Overwhelming guilt flooded her.

She couldn't understand how she could have dealt such a ruthless blow to the Senior Brother who had protected her all the way.

Even for that legendary Secret Scroll, she shouldn't have...

Wait...

Secret Scroll?

What Secret Scroll?

Jiang Yuwei felt like she had forgotten something, but she didn't have time to think. Her thoughts quickly returned to Mo Zixing.

She was a bit panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment, but if she did nothing, Senior Brother Mo was definitely dead.
