50: Chapter 50 Valhalla

"The first investment has finally ended."

"It really felt so long... I've only lived for twenty years in reality, yet in the investment world, ten years passed in the blink of an eye."

Su Chen woke up from the dream, and information like a tsunami instantly flooded into his mind.

He was still lying on the hospital bed.

Wearing an oxygen mask, his body was covered in tubes.

His limbs were tightly bound with specially made bandages.

"Heh... Compared to the me who could summon wind and rain in the investment world, this body in the real world is truly pitifully weak."

"System, where is my reward?"

【Ding! The first round of investment has ended!】

【The Host, relying on his own abilities, personally cultivated the Zhuge Family's concubine-born daughter, Zhuge Jinyu, into the power-wielding Prime Minister Zhuge.】

【Under your guidance, she unified the Three Kingdoms, created a renowned and prosperous era of peace and stability in history, and had a profound influence.】

【In your first investment, you immediately cultivated a fearsome Transcendent Heroic Spirit.】

【Calculating score...】

【Score calculation complete. This investment round rating: SS+】

"What is a Transcendent Heroic Spirit, System?"

【Although Transcendent Heroic Spirits are part of the Heroic Spirits, they have never contracted with any existing martial artists, because xxxxxx *cough cough cough cough*... The... The heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.】

"Are you a riddle-monger too?"

Su Chen opened his mouth wide.

However, he could roughly guess it.

This so-called Transcendent Heroic Spirit was most likely Zhuge Jinyu.

"Forget it. Since she is a Heroic Spirit, I should be able to understand more once I embark on the path of cultivation..."

Su Chen shook his head.

However, what shocked him even more was that Zhuge Jinyu had actually fulfilled his long-cherished wish of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

"Honestly... this ending seems pretty good."

He felt a sense of relief.

【Based on the Host's evaluation, the rewards for this investment round have been calculated.】

【Do you want to claim them now?】

"It's here!"

Su Chen couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

After looking forward to the rewards for so long, he wondered what good things he would get.

"Claim."

【Ding!】

【Based on this investment rating, the Host can choose any six out of the following seven rewards!】

"It seems only an SSS-grade investment rating or higher allows choosing all rewards."

Su Chen held his breath and listened carefully to the system's broadcast.

【1. Son of Luck (Gold - Fate Class)】

【2. Immunity to All Diseases (Purple - Fate Class)】

【3. Rebirth of the Weapon Master (Gold - Talent Class), Note: The Host can freely manipulate all types of weapons.】

【4. Dust-Avoiding Sword (Gold - Weapon Class)】

【5. 99,999,999 Huaxia Coins】

【6. Spiritual Power Realm Enhancement (Purple - Strength Enhancement Class), Note: Enhances spiritual power based on the Host's soul realm during the investment; the current realm is approximately equivalent to an Eighth-Rank Martial Artist.】

【7. A Peach Blossom Hairpin (Unknown - Keepsake Class): An ordinary hairpin, carrying the memories of you and her.】

The system provided a detailed introduction for each reward.

Su Chen didn't even think; he first selected items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.

What made him hesitate were 5 and 7.

A large sum of money was indeed quite tempting for him, currently destitute.

But honestly, having the status of a martial artist, plus clinging to the thigh of a wealthy senior sister...

An eight-figure sum of money didn't seem like much.

As for the seventh reward, it was the gift he had given to Zhuge Jinyu, carrying the memories of the two of them.

It also commemorated the existence of that investment world.

Su Chen quickly made his choice.

"Then I'll choose 7."

【Congratulations to the Host, the rewards have been issued, please check them!】

【Time until the next round of investment can be opened: 99 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds.】

【Note: If the Host recharges this system with an extraordinary item, the next round of investment can be opened early!】

【Thank you for using the system, see you in the next round of investment!】

The second reward, the Immunity to All Diseases fate, quickly erased the cancer inside Su Chen's body and the severe external injuries on his body.

The various indicators on the instruments returned from abnormal to normal.

Su Chen could feel that his body had not only regained its strength.

But even mentally, he had a feeling of being able to control all living beings.

He was all too familiar with that feeling.

It was exactly the same powerful spiritual power cultivation as in the investment world.

Every room in the entire hospital was within his view.

"Since that's the case, I'll go check the next room..."

A few seconds later.

Su Chen wiped away the nosebleed still spurting from his nostrils and gave a wry smile.

"Damn it, I miscalculated!"

"Why is the senior sister changing clothes in there..."

After adapting to the huge changes in his body, Su Chen slowly raised his hand and took off the oxygen mask on his face.

"Phew~."

"It's good to be alive."

Then, he reached back and ripped off all the needles and bandages stuck to his body.

Soon, the entire intensive care unit was echoing with the beeping sounds of the alarm instruments.

A moment later, the door to the ward was kicked open by the doctors.

Everyone rushed into the intensive care unit in a hurry, pushing a hospital bed covered with blue plastic sheets for collecting corpses.

They saw the youth, who they expected to have already stopped breathing, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Very calmly.

Hearing the noise, Su Chen turned his head.

In his eyes, there was even a hint of faint killing intent.

For a moment, all the doctors in the ward were stunned.

No, tell me, who is this person in front of me?

Compared to believing that a youth suffering from several terminal cancers, with all internal organs ruptured and 99% of his body severely burned, could sit normally.

They would rather believe that this murderous-looking person in front of them was an evil ghost.

"Ah, sorry, I just came back from over there; I get nervous easily, and I get like this whenever I meet people."

Su Chen restrained his killing intent, put on a smile he considered very bright and sunny, and said.

"Good morning, everyone."

...

Huaxia, Bashu Province, outskirts of Jinguan City.

Wuhou Shrine.

Nominally, this is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jinguan City.

After all, it is an ancient ancestral hall that has been passed down for thousands of years without falling.

Especially after the spiritual energy recovery, when the Huaxia nation recovered many historical fragments that had once been annihilated.

This ancestral hall became even more popular with tourists.

Many people come here to explore the history of the mysterious Great Qian Immortal Dynasty and the story of Prime Minister Zhuge in history.

However, only the core power circle of Huaxia and a portion of extremely powerful martial artists know.

That only the outer area of the Wuhou Shrine is open to tourists.

Its unopened area is actually an extremely deep, rarely visited secret realm.

The security level of the secret realm is as high as three S's.

Ordinary martial artists, and even high-ranking Heroic Spirits, could hardly set foot here in their entire lives without special permission.

This is the core area of the Huaxi Branch of the modern Huaxia Hall of Valor.

And within it, in the area with the highest mystery level.

Only one person lives there.

The interior of the secret realm is not in the style of a traditional ancestral temple, but rather more like a small world that has been separately opened up.

The dome is high and far.

Around the walls, with the support of modern technology, are four vivid pictures.

One is a giant sword in the river canyon.

One is an ancient giant city, where an illusory figure can vaguely be seen spanning across heaven and earth.

One is a battlefield on a wasteland, where two armies can vaguely be seen confronting each other, with one person charging.

And the last one... depicts snowflakes falling like goose feathers in the deep palace walls and halls.

In the center of the secret realm, no statues or memorial tablets are enshrined.

There is only one huge, ancient tree with lush branches and leaves like a canopy.
