My Twin Sugar Mommies and Two Systems are 100 Years Late! Chapter 12.
The list stretched on as Yan Anle scrolled through his Inventory, his emotions fluctuating wildly. Some gifts were relatively standard, their descriptions matching his expectations, while others were simply bizarre—from their cryptic names down to the snarky Remark section.
[Item Name]: Core Formation Pill
[Item Type]: Alchemical Pill
[Item Rank]: Eighth-grade
[Quality]: Pill Clouds
[Preservation Status]: Flawless
[Description]: A potent medicinal catalyst designed to bolster a Foundation Establishment cultivator's success rate when attempting to break through to the Core Formation Realm. Effectiveness is heavily influenced by the pill's refinement quality and the user's current minor stage. Use by an existing Core Formation expert provides a significant cultivation surge and assists in shattering minor bottlenecks. This medicine holds no efficacy for Nascent Soul cultivators or those of higher standings.
[System Remark]: Looking at this already? A bit ambitious, aren't we?
[Item Name]: Redemption Voucher: Earth-grade Weapon
[Item Type]: System-Unique Consumable
[Description]: A premium token granting the Host the authority to select and manifest any single Earth-grade armament from the system's specialized armory.
[System Remark]: Most Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation titans spend centuries hunting for gear like this. Yet here you are, you little rascal, able to conjure one on a whim. If the world's elite found out, being slapped to death out of pure jealousy would be the kindest fate you could hope for.
[Item Name]: Crimson Earth Air-Boat
[Item Type]: Aerial Artifact
[item Rank]: High-grade Heaven
[Preservation Status]: Mint (Single test-flight by creator)
[Description]: Crafted by the venerable Master Qi Bai while he stood at the threshold of becoming an Immortal Forger. Technically, this vessel qualifies as a Pseudo-Immortal artifact, though such a rank lacks official recognition. This skyship is outfitted with heavy defensive plating and offensive arrays, and void-traversing capabilities—all fueled by Spirit Stones. At maximum output, its velocity rivals a Peak-stage Cataclysm Realm expert.
[System Remark]: A sleek, devastatingly fast toy. However, unless your personal wealth is formidable, you can forget about seeing its true capabilities. Given the pocket change you pulled from the Gift Box, you can't even afford to make it float in place for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. For now, it's just a very expensive paperweight.
[Designation]: Three Flame King's Frying Pan
[Classification]: Multipurpose Artifact
[Quality Grade]: Mid-grade Heaven
[Preservation Status]: Pre-owned (Well-maintained)
[Description]: The natal treasure of the famed Thirteen Flames King of Unsullied Grace Star, a legendary Spirit Chef. This unorthodox artifact was famously utilized to deflect lethal strikes, sauté high-grade spirit ingredients, crush enemies, and even serve as a portable pill furnace! A masterpiece of versatility. Following its master's failure during his Immortality Ascension Tribulation, this treasure vanished from the annals of history.
[System Remark]: Yes, it's a Heaven-grade kitchen utensil. Its previous owner proudly wore it on his back across the realms, utterly immune to shame. Don't scoff—in a pinch, you can flip this thing over and use it as a makeshift flying artifact to escape.
Yan Anle paused his scrolling when he reached a particularly surreal entry.
[Item Name]: Divine Ability: 30-Second Ad
[Item Type]: System-Made Resource
[Description]: Bestows the user with the power to compel any target to view a 30-second localized projection of a random historical event from the River of Time. The event will be related to them or someone with great karmic ties to them. During the broadcast, the target is rendered completely immobile.
Constraints: Target must possess sentience. Target's cultivation cannot exceed the user's by more than three major realms. Target must be within the user's visual range or Divine Sense radius. Activation Odds: 5% success rate against strangers; 25% if the target's true name is known. Cooldown: 9 days upon a successful trigger; 9 seconds following a failed attempt.
[System Remark]: Host may assimilate this power upon request. It is transferable to subordinates, provided their Loyalty remains at 85/100 or higher. Should their devotion falter, the ability is immediately reclaimed by the System.
"This kind of Divine Ability... it seems overpowered on the surface, but look at those successful activation odds. It would be fine against people of the same cultivation realm and below, but when facing those with higher cultivation than myself..." Yan Anle muttered, stroking his chin. "Even knowing a name, I'm gambling my life on a one-in-four chance. If I miss, those nine seconds of cooldown are more than enough time for a senior to catch me and put me through hell and back. And even if it hits, thirty seconds isn't much of a head start against someone two or three realms higher. If this was not a single-target skill, its flaws would have been a minor consideration. At that time, I could just help any force crush another by freezing the bigwigs amongst their enemies."
He sighed. "Whatever. Poorly seasoned meat is still meat. I'm basically a beggar in this world, and beggars can't be choosers. System, I claim it now!"
[Myriad Worlds Auction House]: [Ping! Congratulations, Host on successfully obtaining your first Divine Ability!]
The sound of approaching footsteps broke his concentration.
"Young Master, the dishes are done!" Dou E's voice preceded her as she bounced into the room.
The transmigrator swiftly dismissed the inventory screen.
"Whoa!" Dou E gasped, sprinting toward the shimmering portal. She circled the glowing rift with the awe of a child discovering a portal to another world. "Is this a spatial gate, Young Master? I've only ever heard of these in legends!"
Yan Anle smiled at her excitement. "Time waits for no one. Let's head in."
"Mm!" Dou E nodded eagerly, though she instinctively stepped aside. "After you, Young Master."
He waved her off and explained that the portal would vanish the moment he crossed the threshold, just as the system had warned. Hearing this, Dou E's restraint vanished like leaves in a gale. She dove through the rift without a second thought.
Yan Anle shook his head. "She didn't even stop to check for traps on the other side."
[Immortal Clan System]: [Perhaps that is because it is the Host who opened the way. Her Loyalty and Relationship values toward you are 99 out of 100, after all.]
"Ninety-nine?" Yan Anle was genuinely stunned.
[Immortal Clan System]: [I suspect if 100 weren't reserved for mindless puppets, she would have maxed the scale.]
Yan Anle didn't dwell on it. He took a breath and stepped into the secret realm, the portal collapsing into a single point behind him.
